Subtitle of this chapter: This author is Mark Twain, see his "French Duel" written by him

……………………

The Japanese officer who followed the rules felt that this was a nonsense, and the British officer who followed the rules was so angry that he was so angry that his teeth were itchy.

Lieutenant Colonel Harold Alexander, who has not entered the market, also has several British friends around him.

Seeing that he looked bad, the first-class secretary of the British Embassy immediately began to comfort him: "Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, this is good. Just as Sir Hall said, at least you will not kill anyone."

The duel assistant this time was a major who was also a foreign military officer. His face looked very ugly and said with a very hateful expression: "This duel will indeed not cause any death, but we have become a big joke!"

Mr. Major gritted his teeth and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Alexander, you must let that chinaman suffer a lot later!" (Note 1)

Another person next to him echoed: "Yes, that Chinese guy is asking for trouble. He doesn't know how much alcohol Mr. Lieutenant Colonel is."

As an Irishman, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander has a good alcohol tolerance.

"snort!"

One of the male protagonists today snorted softly, his face slightly softened. Because he had great confidence in this in terms of alcohol tolerance, and when it comes to throwing wine bottles, it was his specialty, so he reluctantly accepted such ridiculous rules.

The army officer also made up his mind that today he would at least let the hateful Neo Yuan cut off a few bones, and in addition to this, he would also let her taste the feeling of a concussion!

When the Japanese and British were extremely tight, the Americans laughed happily.

"Hahaha... This rule is too, too. Too. Too Yinbosi listened to it."

President Warren Harding said with a smile and shook his head. The members of the "Ohio Gang" around him also laughed.

In addition to Attorney General Doherty and Finance Minister Mellon, the "Ohio Gang" also has private advisers specially appointed by the president.

One of them is Harry F. Sinclair, the founder of Sinclair. Do you remember the dispute over oil extraction rights in Sakhalin Island? This oil company is competing with California Mobil. (Author’s note: With the efforts of Theodore Roosevelt, the Supreme Court ordered the breakup of Mobil Group in 1911 to become 38 independent companies, and California Mobil is one of them.)

Oil tycoon Sinclair asked seriously: "Gentlemen, who do you think can win?"

"You will know if you look at your appearance..." Mr. Doherty said with a beard, "You will know if you look at the Chinese man with a niche face, you will know if you can't drink it."

Mr. Mellon echoed: "And they have to throw bottles, isn't this equivalent to grenades? I'm optimistic about the British officer. It is said that he has been on the battlefield of World War I."

President Harding raised his telescope and looked at the two players on the sidelines, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't think so. Look, the Chinese man looks very confident. If you want me to say that Neo Yuan's winning rate will be higher."

Mr. Sinclair laughed and said, "Mr. President, do we want to have a gamble?"

When the American commander heard this, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, gentlemen. Then I'll be a patron...."

This cabinet in 1921 is probably the most popular cabinet in American history. These cabinet members and the president's private advisers are not only rich or noble, but also... very unserious, very unserious in all senses.

However, Mr. Charles Evans Hughes was not among them. He, the Secretary of State, was not obtained through his friendship with President Harding, but through his own political power and political prestige.

Secretary Hughes did not sit on the middle viewing platform with President Harding and others. On the contrary, he was in a relatively low position and remote position. After listening to the duel rules, he shook his head laughed and cried, and then gave a few instructions in his follower's ear. After listening to the follower, he immediately walked out.

There were so many people at the scene, only the Chinese and his friends around him had a relatively stable mood. Because our Master Yuan was full of confidence in his alcohol tolerance, and friends who had drunk wine with him naturally knew this.

Besides, he is in very good shape today, probably because of his successful remedy with Miss Ai Newka last night. So he and Major Cao Linsheng walked into the field with brisk steps...

"Listen, this is New York Public Radio, I am your host Adam. We are now broadcasting a duel that has attracted the attention of the nation in Fort Myer, Virginia. We are honored to let you know that this is the first live broadcast of the event in the world!"

"Just just now, the duel host, Mr. Yoshisaburo Nomura, has read out the rules... Well, I have to say that this is indeed a very novel and interesting duel. According to Miss Emma Pulitzer, the rule is written by our New York City celebrity Mr. Yuan."

"Listen, the duel is about to begin, and both sides have entered the venue."

"Mr. Harold Alexander, a British Army Lieutenant Colonel, was a war hero who had been to the battlefield of World War I. Mr. Lieutenant Colonel looked serious and seemed to be very serious about the duel. He walked towards the center of the venue with his assistant."

"On the north side of the horse farm is NY NY, who we are all very familiar with. Mr. Neo Yuan is a celebrity in New York City. He made a shocking bet on the NYU campus in November last year and successfully won a huge bet of $500,000. Can he create a miracle again today? Let's wait and see."

"Listen, both sides came to the center of the venue and signed a document under the witness of former Deputy Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Franklin Delano Roosevelt. According to our NYPR, this should be a sworn letter to exempt each other from criminal liability. Now Mr. Louis Baker has signed his name as a notary."

"Okay, now the assistants of both sides have begun to check the weapons... Well, they all brought twenty-four bottles of original whiskey over here. As for how these wines came from? Both sides are unwilling to announce them to the public..."

"Listen, the assistants from both sides opened each bottle of whiskey and tasted it. Looking at their expressions, the wines seemed to taste good. I really want to have a glass to taste... Well, everyone should know that this is a duel, so they drink in public. Is this a violation of the prohibition? This question is a bit complicated..."

"Okay, the assistants of both sides have checked their weapons. They discussed on the scene. To be fair, each party provides 12 bottles of whiskey, and the wines of both parties are arranged at intervals. That is to say, after drinking one bottle of whiskey, the next bottle is provided by the other party."

"Listen, the venue is now arranged. Twenty-four small round tables are lined up, one table apart one by one. Twenty-four bottles of whiskey are also placed on it..."
