Chapter 232 Pearl Harbor
Subtitle of this chapter: You can see international relations after spending money
In fact, when it comes to Sino-French relations and Sino-German relations in 1920, we have to mention my Qing Dynasty.
My Qing Dynasty problem is actually just one problem, that is, I can’t pass a critical level, nation-state. In fact, the elites such as Lao Fu, Zeng Zuo, Li Hu, and Yuan may not be unaware of it. On the contrary, the angry youth like Guangxu and the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu cannot understand the key points.
"Protecting the Qing Dynasty but not China, and protecting China but not Qing Dynasty." The history of the late Qing Dynasty is all in this sentence.
If we didn't look at me in the Qing Dynasty with nationalistic glasses, the senior officials of the late Qing Dynasty after the Second Opium War were still working very hard, and their performance was much better than my Dameng, especially Nanmeng. They could also carry out the Westernization Movement and have a "Tongzhi Zhongxing".
Speaking of Sino-French relations, they can also fight a Sino-French battle that brought the French cabinet down and suffered a great loss of face.
Well, I'll give Miss Ainukar some face later.
Speaking of Sino-German relations, the high-level leaders of the Qing Dynasty once had a brilliant idea, like many time-travel writers, and wanted to launch a Sino-German-US Triangle Alliance. The real implementers of this alliance were Xinhui Gong and Xiangshan Gong. Who said that the Qing Dynasty was all about to make money?
In 1908, Tang Shaoyi, as a special envoy of the Qing Dynasty, hoped to reach a preliminary agreement with President Roosevelt, the then ambassador to the United States was Wu Yanfang. Unfortunately, Roosevelt ruthlessly refused this proposal without much consideration.
Well, he refused, I can't refuse, I want to...
"Du, dumb, dumb."
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
I have sent all the mahjong players away at home. Your Excellency Justice is visiting that "Mr. Professor". Who is this?
No matter who it is, I don’t have the time to open the door now.
Yuan Yan didn't want to open the door, and Miss Ai Newka didn't want to care about it anymore. The man and woman walked into the bedroom holding hands one after another...
"Ni Ao, are you here? It's me!"
A woman's soft voice came vaguely outside the door. This voice was quite familiar. So our Master Yuan didn't want to open the door, but wanted to close the bedroom door.
But Xiaolongnu stopped doing it. She suddenly stopped and listened carefully. Then, with a small face, she put her hands on her hips and kicked her feet constantly, staring at the hippie-faced Yuan Yanshu angrily.
Miss Ai Nuka pointed at the door, and our Master Yuan shook his head quickly.
Miss Aiuka simply threw away his hand and went straight to the door. Our Master Yuan had to sigh and stop her, and turned around and opened the door with a refreshed mood.
"Ni Ao, you...hahaha... why did you shave a bald head?!"
"I……"
"But it doesn't matter, even if you have a bald head... It seems that you are even more handsome after shaved."
Master Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't shaved my head and became handsome, but because I was too handsome, I became bald."
He touched his head, which was slightly stubborn, and smiled bitterly: "Lilian, why did you come suddenly like this? You didn't send me a telegram so that I can pick you up."
Miss Lilian, who had a little tired face and a little dust on her body, rushed up and hugged his neck and said happily: "Don't I want to give you an unexpected surprise? Are you surprised now, do you like it?"
I am really surprised now, but I don’t like it at all!!!
"Um……"
"Ni Ao, I really miss you. Do you have... guests?!"
Miss Jish jumped off his body, looked at Miss Aiuka with a gloomy face, and then looked at Master Yuan with a bitter face, and the smile on her face froze.
But she was an actress who had been living in the world since she was a child, and she blew and said, "Haha, Ni... Mr. Yuan. I didn't expect you to be entertaining friends, so I'll go to the hotel first..."
"No! You guys talk, I'll leave first!"
After all, our Master Yuan is still a torn pattern and has not been enough to dry his clothes. He has never had any experience in opening a harem or even cheating in the past two lives, let alone the embarrassing scene of being "catched and raped in the room". For a moment, he felt that he was not stopping or not, and just watched Xiaolongnu run away alone.
"Bang!"
The door was closed heavily.
Just like the rejection that our Qing Dynasty suffered, the beautiful idea of the Sino-German-US Grand Triangle Alliance will only be put on hold for the time being.
Miss Lilian Gish said apologetically: "Neo, I'm sorry. Not as good as you..."
"No, Lilian. I'm the one who should say sorry!" Yuan Yan quickly calmed down and finally didn't let the other person go. "You are also my 'guest'. Please stay."
As he said that, he reached into his pocket and took out...
The movie star said with a smile: "So I am just your 'guest' like that poor blonde? Well... why did you wear a mask?"
Because this mask can add 1 to all attributes! Adding 1 to 18 points of charm value is 19 points, which is already approaching the limit of mortals.
Miss Jish's legs suddenly became a little weak and couldn't stand firmly. She cried softly and softly, "I'm not awe..."
Yuan Yan, who was wearing a hellokitty mask, said nothing, and hugged her in her arms with a princess hug. She walked into the bedroom, turned her left leg and closed the bedroom door heavily...
"Bang!"
In fact, when it comes to early Sino-US relations, the essence is "open door". Will it be easy to enter and exit when the door is open?
In order to maintain this vast market, America was quite friendly to the Qing Dynasty. Especially during the signing of the Treaty of Xin Chou, we maintained our Qing Dynasty, and even fought against other countries, and still achieved some results. At least we still preserved the integrity of the remaining territory. Although we failed to reduce the compensation, America later took the initiative to refund the compensation and built a green and smooth university.
America is proud of its cheap industrial products and agricultural products, two fist products that are much bigger than fist. In the 19th century, the goods from America were still "a trickle of water". After the 20th century, they rushed into our Qing Dynasty like a surging tide, quickly sweeping over the market, the invisible hand.
During World War I, both sides felt a little unfamiliar. However, by World War II, China and the United States became aspiring allies.
Of course, because of the comparison of strength, America was the main force. After they were initially shameful sneak attacks on the Pacific battlefield, they launched wave after wave of offensives. Seris held his last breath and refused to surrender, and finally survived until 1945. After the end of World War II, both sides quickly entered a honeymoon period.
However, there was another civil war in Cyris. This time, the emerging forces who came to power were like a chicken blood, and they had another match with the United States on a certain peninsula. This time, America was accidentally beaten by Cyris in the early stage, and it was the United States' turn to grit their teeth and persevere. Unfortunately, Cyris had limited logistics capabilities and could not achieve a decisive victory.
Later, due to certain political factors, Cyris crossed the 38th parallel. The United States, which had stabilized its footsteps, finally discovered the other party's weakness and used all his strength to push it back. Cyris did not want to suffer too much loss. In the end, the two sides were in a stalemate on the 38th parallel.
Originally, the Fourth War was likely to occur between China and the United States, but Seris was ambitious to make a bold statement that "half of the population died, and there are still 300 million people", but the calm America firmly avoided too tragic wars.
So... it's time for sages.
Our Master Yuan lit a cigar, he stroked the big star's smooth spine and asked, "Have you finished filming "The Road to the East"?"
Miss Jish gave him a blank look and said, "Well, I got on the fastest train to find you as soon as the filming is finished, but I didn't expect..."
Yuan Yan interrupted her with some embarrassment and said, "Hey, don't mention this."
"Why don't you mention it?" the female star supported her body with her elbows and asked in surprise regardless of her own spring light. "That blonde is really cute, are you giving up now?"
Master Yuan was stunned when he heard this and asked a little disbelief: "I would encourage me to chase her after you when I heard this?"
"Hahaha..." Miss Jish suddenly stretched out her hand to touch his face, and said in a daze, "I'm aloof, how could a person like you be bound by a woman like me? Don't say that you are not married now, even if you are married, you don't know how many girls will throw themselves into your arms?"
That's true. Even after he canceled the "Card: Weird 2", he still had a charm value of 16 points. It was much higher than that of ordinary people. Not to mention, he also had the bonus of literary and artistic writers.
She frowned and sighed, "I, can that blond really stop you and them..."
I have to say that the view of marriage and love among people in the entertainment industry is really different from that of ordinary people.
In the so-called drama life, sometimes some actors really can't tell what is real and what is false. Especially for the methodical actors, their performance method requires them to be fully integrated into the role. In addition to the actors themselves, they also need to create the character and life of the role themselves, and strive to interpret the role realistically. Then the love in these roles will naturally come true.
To be honest, some actors and actresses love each other from the play to the outside of the play, not all of them are "it's really messy" or the agency and the film company need them to have a scandal, but they are too immersed in fake dramas and are just doing real things. But when they come out of this role, it's time to say goodbye.
Lilian Gish has been living in Hollywood in the miserable years, and sometimes she has to do something she doesn't want to do. Many things are really seen through, so she never married on the original timeline.
She took the cigar from Master Yuan's hand, took a hard sip, and then said quietly: "I can see that blonde really likes you, don't miss it."
As she said that, she sat up and patted his shoulder, and laughed and said, "Come on, young man, my elder sister will help you! Hahaha..."
"Well... are you still older sister?!" Yuan Yan was suddenly angry by this sentence and immediately launched the Fourth Sino-US War.
"I'm so angry, I've given up! I've found that you're even more irritable than last time..."
"Hmph, do you know how powerful we Cyris are?"
"I know, I know, can't I beg for mercy?"
"Since that's the case, I will let you go with mercy!"
"I'm so dirty and exhausted. You have to take me to take a shower!"
"Ms. Jish, I am willing to serve."
The two sat in the spacious bathtub hugging each other, and the big star in his arms sighed with satisfaction. She looked around the gorgeously decorated bathroom and said, "I'm really good here. When will I have the money to buy an apartment like this?"
"Lilian, you will have no money...well."
Our Master Yuan remembers that it is 1920, and both great directors and big stars have not earned much these days. Of course, well-known actors like Lilian Gysh must have earned more than the working class, but this kind of house by the Hudson River cannot be afforded by salary.
Yuan Yan smiled slightly and said lightly: "Well, Lilian. It's just an apartment, I'll give it to you!"
Oh, I wanted to say this sentence back then, but unfortunately I didn’t have the chance... Of course I didn’t have money either.
"Crazy..."
The big star's body trembled and stirred up a splash. She turned her head and asked in surprise: "Give it to me? Didn't you say in the letter that this house was lent to you by your friend? And you really have so much money?"
"Lilian, you don't have to worry about money..."
Oh, I seem to have used money too hard recently. I really don’t have much money around me. The amount of money I spent is more than 3,000 US dollars transferred from my family, and this money is almost over.
The 50,000 US dollars that Edison lost to himself is not the time to take it out of the stock market. At least it has to wait until nypr opens.
As for my book "Song of Ice and Fire" is simply losing money and gaining publicity. Even if the "Scp" magazine sells a big sale, it will take some time to get back the funds.
Le Monde and Women of the World still owe themselves some royalties, and Baisuishan's money has not been paid, but these are also small money, and the total amount is about tens of thousands of dollars.
Of course, you can still buy an apartment like this with this money, but compared to your own big plans, it seems like a drop in the bucket.
Well, it seems that I am too focused on gaining fame and big plans, and I forgot about the small money. I still have to put my next plan on the agenda as soon as possible.
He looked at the beauty in his arms and asked, "Lilian, since the film is finished, what is Mr. Griffith doing in Los Angeles?"
"I'm alas, he's doing the late stage."
"Hey, you send him a telegram and ask him to arrive in New York as soon as possible. Anyway, your "Road to the East" definitely has no box office, just do it casually. Let's start shooting audio movies as soon as possible."
"Ni Ao, how do you know that this movie has no box office?"
"Um……"
Our Master Yuan was too lazy to find a reason this time, so he simply learned that Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, which opened the prelude to the first naval battle between China and the United States.
