The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 302 International Faction
Subtitle of this chapter: A book friend reminded me that the previous chapter was a supporting role chapter, so this chapter is international.
Wednesday evening, July 13, 1921.
Greenwich, London, UK.
Greenwich, located at the mouth of the Thames, is naturally very famous, especially for the Prime Meridian and the Royal Naval College. In fact, it is a district of Greater London.
Since it is located at the mouth of the "Mother River" of England, it is natural that Greenwich also has various docks of various sizes.
At this time, a medium-sized fishing boat flying the Gallic tricolor flag was moored at the Greenwich fishing pier. However, the busy people on this fishing boat all had oriental faces.
Our Master Yuan must be very familiar with the appearance of some of these young Oriental people.
These young men were busy adjusting the rigging on the boat with great energy, cracking jokes from time to time. They didn't seem tired at all and actually enjoyed this kind of work at sea.
After all...he is just an ordinary person after all.
After Yuan Yanshu had used the body of "Ms. Destiny" to show off in front of the Aries youth, he had become somewhat indifferent to what was happening in Paris. Of course, even if he wanted to inquire, he didn't have the courage to do so.
Anyway, he transferred a considerable sum of money to Zhuang Kunlun on time, and didn't care how Paris used it. It was considered a disguised form of "aiding the Communist Party."
Our comrade Zhuang Kunlun is a good comrade. Out of the proletarian revolutionary consciousness of "the more money you get, the more work you do", he feels that he cannot just take the money without doing any work. He has to recruit or train a few crew members to give him some instructions.
Our "Aries" youths are actually some good young people. They also feel embarrassed to have been eating and drinking for free at Brother Zhuang's place. At least they should make him explain it to Boss Yuan.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and Yuan Yan's "Tianren Shipping" suddenly had a group of new employees.
It’s a pity that our Master Yuan did not expect such a thing to happen and is still in the dark.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to use the Paris branch of Tianren Shipping. If something went wrong and a shipwreck drowned a few people... especially those people... wouldn't he become the eternal sinner of Seris?!
And if these people died, what a huge S value would that generate. Yuan Yan would definitely explode on the spot immediately.
In fact, he was so busy these days thinking about how to kidnap the British and Japanese crown princes that he had no time or energy to manage his own companies.
At the same time, his relationship with Louis Baker became increasingly close. In addition to the "Amalgam Trade", "Baishui Mountain" and "Tianren Shipping " were all handed over to "His Majesty the Divine Emperor" to manage.
Mr. Baker was not a time traveler like him, so how could he know who these Seres people with the surnames Zhou, Chen, Nie, Cai, Li... etc. were? He just passed it by with a stroke of the pen.
The most impressive employee roster in history thus appeared on this timeline. Henceforth, the famous "French School" and "Work-Study School" were given a nickname: the "Heavenly School."
Just for this matter, Yuan Yanshu could close her eyes.
Night finally fell, and a truck full of ice drove into the dock and came directly to the side of the fishing boat.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
The truck honked a few times and Condor jumped out of the car. At the same time, Zhuang Kunlun, who heard the sound, also walked down the gangway.
"You are Brother Zhuang, right? Hello, hello, I am Xiaokang."
"Brother Kang, nice to meet you. By the way, how is the boss?"
"You know our boss, Brother Zhuang, he's incredibly kind. He met a female writer in England, and the American actress is here too. He easily settled both of them, and he's been staying indoors these past few days discussing new scripts with them."
"Well, you are worthy of being our boss."
Yuan Yanshu exchanged pleasantries with the two drivers in front and behind him, and they also sighed for their boss's good health. Zhuang Kunlun then asked, "Have the goods arrived?"
"Yes, they're all here." Kang Dalton paused, then smiled mysteriously and said, "The boss has also prepared two gifts for you."
"Two gifts?"
"Brother Zhuang, don't ask. Let's get it to your ship first."
He waited until the fishing boat left the dock before he took off the packaging of the two gifts...which were actually masks.
Zhuang Kunlun was horrified and exclaimed, "It's you?!"
"Woo, woo, woo..." The "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" who saw the light of day again showed relieved expressions when they saw that it was him, but because their mouths were blocked, they could only stammer to express their excitement.
The three main culprits of Wall Street BOOOOM finally met again on the English Channel.
Zhuang Kunlun untied them and asked curiously, "How did you meet Mr. Yuan again?"
Lindenwan and Long Ma looked at each other, smiled bitterly and explained the whole story...
After finishing his words, Lindenwan asked expectantly, "Zhuang, that Mr. Yuan is so mysterious. He suddenly became so powerful that even I'm no match for him. You've followed him for so long. Does the SCP Foundation he mentioned actually exist?"
"Well..." Zhuang Kunlun also smiled bitterly and spread his hands, saying, "He is really unpredictable... Oh, unpredictable."
He felt a little regretful at this moment, thinking that he should stay with Yuan Yanshu longer. Maybe he would really discover some shocking secret, or maybe he could accomplish something amazing by following his boss.
But now...
Zhuang Kunlun sighed, knowing that the past could not be retrieved. He then changed the subject and said, "So, what are your plans? Are you going back to England? It's not too late to turn around now."
"I'm not going back!" Vianne Rochelle said first, "I'm going to Munich to see my daughter."
Dragon Mother had never imagined that her cheap son-in-law could do so well, and her daughter had inexplicably become a fortune teller. Therefore, she wanted to visit Little Dragon Girl.
Linden Wan also sighed and said, "That Chinese man warned me that if he saw me in England again, he would kill me and reveal the truth about the Wall Street incident to the world. So I won't be going to England anymore. I'll go to Munich with Vivian first."
In fact, this Soviet agent didn't say one thing: Our Master Yuan released him in exchange for guiding a member of the Communist Party of the United States who was willing to help the Soviet Union build socialism.
Yuan Yanshu was also at a loss. He "knew" the Soviet high-ranking officials, but others didn't know him. Mr. Julian Chandler... no, it was Comrade Yuri Marin. If he wanted to quickly approach the Soviet high-ranking officials, he really couldn't do it without an introducer.
Since both of them said so, Zhuang Kunlun naturally had no objection.
However, he suddenly thought about it and suggested, "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I have a few promising young people from China. Could you introduce them to study in... well, your hometown?"
"A good seedling from China..." The Lieutenant Colonel agent of the Red Army nodded and said, "I'll ask for you after I write back."
Well, the storm stirred up by Yuan Da's wings of time travel is getting bigger and bigger. He actually sent a group of forces to the "international faction" in advance without knowing or realizing it.
For example, the famous Moscow University of the Toilers of the East (MOTOU) opened on October 31st of this year.
In other words, if Lindenwan had taken the time to get this matter done, the young people of " Aries " would still have had time to become classmates with the first batch of 26 people studying in the Soviet Union.
By the way, among these 26 people, Liu was the first student to return to China. He went to lead the workers' movement the next year.
The Moscow Oriental University had enrolled three batches of students before Sun Yat-sen University, which was established in 1925 specifically for Chinese students. The "Aries" youth who enrolled in 1923-1924 were the second batch. This group of people began to return to China after the May 30th Movement.
So even if there is this change, it shouldn't matter...
"Beep, beep, the host's S value has entered red alert. Beep, beep, the host's S value has entered red alert."
"Master Ball, what's going on? I haven't done anything these past few days..."
Our Master Yuan glanced at the female writer and female star lying side by side on the bed. They were both reading his manuscript attentively.
He corrected himself and said, "I haven't done anything these past few days, so why is my S-value on red alert?"
"Host, there are too many sensitive words, so I can't comment."
"Master Ball, this is too weird, right? How did I affect those sensitive words?"
"Host, please don't ask. Otherwise, Pika..."
"No, no, no, Master Ball, is it okay if I don't ask anymore? Then let me ask you, will this affect my 'Operation Tai Sui'?"
"Host, as long as the key historical figures survive, this operation will not only not generate any S value, but will actually reduce your S value. This is because Operation Taisui is really a lie."
"Master Ball, now I feel relieved..."
"Nai waaaaaaah, your script/novel for The English Patient is amazing!"
Yuan Yan suddenly said absentmindedly, "Lillian, Catherine. I'm just writing casually. It's a pity that this movie can't be made now, so I'd better publish the novel first."
Well, actually, The English Patient was originally a novel by the Canadian poet Michael Ondaatje (born 1943). His main profession was a poet, but The English Patient was so famous that he became a novelist.
It was later adapted into a movie by Hollywood and won nine Oscars in 1997, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography.
Although the original time background of "The English Patient" is World War II, can it be turned into World War I with just a slight modification?
However, the magnificent and desolate Sahara Desert in this film cannot be filmed now unless Master Yuan’s “superpowers” are used.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
At this time, there was a knock on the door. His secretary was not there, so he had to open the door himself. As for why Miss Moman was not there, there were two reasons.
These two reasons are now lying in the bedroom.
"Is it you?"
Our Master Yuan really didn't expect that the person outside the door was the guy in the baseball cap from the "Headless Horseman Moving Company", but now he was dressed as a waiter.
"Dr. Yuan, we meet again."
"How do you know who I am... I see!"
Or maybe those two pieces of "furniture" didn't control their mouths. In fact, they had no obligation to keep Yuan Yanshu's secret.
Or maybe the Hongmen brothers sent by Xiaokang to pick up the people were exposed. If they are not professionals, there is really no way to deal with them.
He became more determined to build a special operations department.
Master Yuan asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"I'm fine." The man in the flat cap grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "But Mr. Collins wants to see you."
Now was a critical moment, and Yuan Yanshu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she immediately refused: "He wants to see me, but I don't want to see him. I'm busy now, and then..."
"I'm sorry, Dr. Yuan. But I really want to see you!" A figure flashed behind the man in the baseball cap and said politely but firmly.
Our Master Yuan took a quick look and saw that although the visitor was dressed like a room waiter, his dignified bearing made it clear that he was no ordinary person.
He then compared it with the photo and confirmed that this man was Michael Collins.
This is not right!
Through old Kennedy, Yuan Yanshu connected with another Irish revolutionary, Eamon De Valera, the current chairman of Sinn Fein, interim president of Ireland and president of the National University of Ireland.
Valera is quite interesting. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. His father is of Spanish-Cuban descent, and his mother is Irish. In fact, he is a genuine American citizen with American nationality.
He returned to Ireland with his parents at the age of two and graduated from the Royal College. After graduation, he became an ardent supporter of the Irish Gaelic revival movement.
In 1913 he joined the Irish Volunteers to fight against the suppression of the Irish Home Rule movement.
He was arrested during the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin against the British, but was released in 1917 due to his American citizenship.
He was arrested again in May 1918, but after a dramatic escape from Lincoln Prison in February 1919, Valera traveled to the United States in disguise, where he single-handedly raised $6 million in funds for the restoration of the country.
6 million US dollars... This number shows the hatred that Irish Americans have for the British.
Theoretically speaking, Valera is the superior of the "Father of the Irish Nation" in front of him, and Collins' current status as the plenipotentiary representative for the British and Irish negotiations was also granted by the former.
However, Yuan Yan suddenly knew that after the UK-Irish negotiations were completed at the end of this year, Valera would be unwilling to accept the negotiation results and would stand against Collins.
As a result, Collins was killed in battle the following year, but Valera founded the Republican Party in 1926 and became Prime Minister of the Irish Free State in 1932.
Historically, Valera is most famous for personally going to the Nazi German Embassy to offer condolences after "His Highness the Temperance" committed suicide in 1945. At that time, he was the only leader of all countries in the world to do so, which naturally caused an uproar in public opinion around the world.
After knowing the result, Yuan Yanshu naturally wanted to ride with Valera instead of the short-lived ghost in front of him.
However, since the short-lived ghost was right in front of him, he could only sigh inwardly, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face, saying, "Mr. Collins, it's such an honor to meet you..."
