Chapter 120 Foxconn
Subtitle of this chapter: Repaying a good baby, looking for the backstage, someone will take it.
…………………………………………
Major Eisenhower helped his wife back to the guest room to rest.
Our Master Yuan bowed to the hostess and said, "This beautiful lady is the hostess here, right? Mrs. Patton, thank you and your husband for your hospitality."
"Yuan, Yuan, Mr. Yuan, ought, ought, that's right." Mrs. Beatrice Barton's words were a little bit unscrupulous.
This Chinese is not only handsome and talented, but also a charlatan... Well, a psychic.
These days, there are few truly atheists in the world, especially in quasi-religious countries like America. For example, FDR has its own astrological master. Therefore, a master like Yuan Yanshu with supernatural abilities is definitely a high-profile look.
What's more, his exaggerated appetite and his pretentious behavior just now made Mrs. Patton feel even more in awe.
Master Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is your master's obligation to invite me as a guest to eat, so it is your master's obligation to give your master a gift."
"Xiaokang, go and bring my gift." He turned around and ordered.
Soon, Condor brought a box made of exquisite calfskin.
The surface of this suitcase is painted, with a Chinese dragon with twitching claws on one side, and a phoenix singing loudly on the other side. The auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix is full of Cyris style, especially suitable for fooling... Well, it satisfies the aesthetic taste of foreigners.
"Mrs. Patton, this is the gift I give you."
With a "click", Yuan Yan suddenly opened the spring buckle of the small suitcase, and it was naturally a beautiful face inside...
"Mahjong?!" The four eyes of the Pattons lit up. These ivory-faced and bamboo-backed mahjong plaques, along with chips and dice, are elegantly made, well-made and gorgeously carved, and are more like a real work of art than gambling tools.
Mrs. Barton said in surprise: "Mr. Yuan, this is the mahjong that has been popular in New York and Washington recently, and even the President and Mrs. President are very popular?"
Therefore, to promote entertainment activities, it must go from top to bottom. For example, a big shot in Seris was a bridge enthusiast in the future, and Seris, who had no foundation in bridge, actually began to popularize bridge from elementary school for a period of time.
As the saying goes, there are good people above, but there must be even worse people below. Mencius's words are still very reasonable.
Major Patton nodded and said, "Bicue and I have always wanted to learn, but unfortunately there are too few teachers at the Washington Mahjong Club and we can't even invite a mahjong teacher to come to our place..."
"George, am I here?" Master Yuan said with a smile, "Come on, guys. I'll teach you how to play mahjong!"
"Mami, are you awake?"
Mrs. Eisenho smiled in response to her husband's concerning gaze, "Ike, I'm awake."
Major Eisenhao said in a daze: "Mami, this is the first time I have seen you laugh when I see you in months."
"Ike, this is the first time in months that I have seen you so energetic." His wife stretched out her hand and stroked her husband's face.
“Mami…”
“Ike…”
Then they hugged and kissed each other...
On that timeline, the death of their son caused a deep rift in the relationship between the couple.
In 1944, Eisenhower fell in love with a British female driver, Kay Summers. This incident was a big deal at the time, and British and American newspapers all called it a sensational title like "The Grand Affair".
At that time, he really planned to divorce Mami in order to marry this British woman.
Army Chief of Staff George Marshall had to write a sharp letter to Eisenhower, in which he threatened to expel Eisenhower's military if he did not change his divorce plan. So Eisenhower had to cut off contact with Kai.
Whether it was to get those cards or not, Yuan Yanshu did a good thing, using shock therapy similar to psychology to relieve the couple's inner demons.
"Crazy..."
As dusk approached, Eisenho, who had been sleeping, taking a bath, became energetic again, held hands and came to the game room intimately, and saw that the battle in Fangcheng inside was in full swing.
However, Yuan Yanshu and Major Patton were not among them. In addition to Miss Moman and Mrs. Patton, there was also a new couple of VIPs.
A man about 40 years old looks handsome and elegant. He is also wearing a clean and customized military uniform, and there are two dazzling stars on his epaulette. This person is actually a major general of the US Army. (Author’s note: First, the reason why foreign officers Mao look so handsome is that their uniforms are all customized. Second, the US military also has one-star brigade general.)
The middle-aged woman dressed very well and gorgeously, and looked like a rich lady.
In fact, these two are also old friends of Eisenho and his wife.
Major Eisenhower said with some surprise: "Mrs. Conner, Major General Conner, have you arrived too?"
This major general "Foxconn" has not made a name for himself in later generations. However, he is a very important figure in the history of the US Army.
If Pershing, the commander of the United States' army who participated in the European War, could be called the "father of the Expeditionary Force", then Fox Coner was the "midwife of the Expeditionary Force."
He is Pershing's most trusted and trusted assistant. Pershing once said that no staff member in the headquarters is more talented than him... In the American Expeditionary Force, no one can be ignored except him.
In addition to his outstanding staff skills, Fox Connor is also very charming.
During the expeditionary force's participation in France, a group of young army officers gathered around him, known as the "Shawn Gang". At that time, the US military headquarters was in Chaumon, France, so it had such a nickname. Among them was the future Chief of Staff George Catrier Marshall.
George Patton is naturally also a member of the "Shomon Gang".
In 1916 he became General Pershing's lieutenant (of course because of his sister), and Connor was the major's staff officer. Since then, the two of them have been close friends.
In fact, the two are very similar in origin. The Connor family is a wealthy landlord in Mississippi, while his wife Virginia is the daughter of a millionaire who runs franchise drugs (Afron).
One autumn afternoon during Fort Mead, Patton introduced Eisenhower to Connor at his social party. It can be said that this meeting changed Eisenhower's fate.
In his memoir, he said: "Fox Connor is the most talented person I have ever met. Among the great and good people I have come into contact with in my life, he is... the one I am most grateful for, and what I owe him is incalculable."
As Eisenhower himself said, among the "Three Chiefs of the Empire" in World War II: he could not fight against Daddy, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific War Zone, Douglas MacArthur; he could not fight against Marshall, who was highly appreciated by Pershing.
If it weren't for Fox Connor's appreciation and pulling, Eisenhower would never have been the commander-in-chief of the European Theater Allies in the future.
It is no exaggeration to say that Connor is his "noble man".
