Subtitle of this chapter: The American Commander from Cyris

………………………………………………

Sunday, April 17, 1921, at 1:00 pm.

Under the strong request of various newspapers, our Gray Knight and the Great Magician "had to" hold a press conference at the Rosewood Hotel where we were staying.

"Mr. Einstein, I am Sanders of the New York Times. I would like to ask if you are really a loyal reader of Neo-Yuan?"

"Yes, Mr. Sanders. I am not only a loyal reader of Mr. Yuan, but also admire his literary talent and scientific talent. Looking at the world today, perhaps only Mr. Yuan can combine literature and science so perfectly!"

"Mr. Yuan, I am Pulitzer of Le Monde. What do you think of Mr. Einstein's praise for you?"

"Miss Pulitzer. I think I can only say that I am flattered. Compared to Mr. Einstein, the greatest scientist of the twentieth century, my scientific literacy is not worth mentioning. Compared to those outstanding contemporary writers, my literary level can only be said to be average. But..."

Our Master Yuan raised his tone and said very "sincerely": "I have always been enthusiastic about science and literature. I also always believe that science can promote the welfare of all mankind and literature can soothe the hearts of all mankind, so I will try to combine the two. Mr. Einstein should have also experienced this and has such praise for my works. So..."

He said in a thick baritone with great emotion: "In this regard, Mr. Einstein is my confidant!"

"Princesie" asked anxiously: "Mr. Yuan, when will those science fiction works that can amaze Mr. Einstein be released? We are all looking forward to it!"

Yuan Yanshu said a little "shy": "I am honored to tell Miss Pulitzer and everyone that my first science fiction collection will be available this month."

"By the way..." He glanced at the great magician, grateful (this adjective does not require double quotes) and said, "Mr. Einstein also wrote a preface for my book, so if you don't sell my face, you will buy it back and take a look even if you sell the face of the greatest scientist of the 20th century."

"Hahaha..." When the reporters here heard this not-so-funny joke, they all smiled so much for the audience.

It's OK, it's OK. Yuan Yanshu, the "No. 1 Science Fiction No. 1" is really OK.

Even if he doesn't want to be this Grey Knight now, people all over the world won't agree.

After the press conference and new book press conference, Master Yuan followed Einstein and Weizmann to the White House to meet President Harding.

What I heard about is that the meeting between Einstein and Harding was actually "promoted" by him.

This is the biggest advantage of time travelers.

Yuan Yan Shu knew that there was indeed such a meeting in history. On the original timeline, the good-looking president was not willing to meet the great magician, but later he didn't know why he agreed to meet again.

I think so, in addition to the Jewish factor, what should Warren Harding, who even calculated the personal income tax rate incorrectly when he met Albert Einstein?

Therefore, the news from the White House this morning was that the meeting was cancelled, and Einstein and Weizmann were naturally disappointed. Master Yuan, who was dining with them, "just happened to" hear the news, and immediately felt excited and hung up the phone number for President Harding and got the meeting done.

The great magician was naturally very grateful and took the initiative to write a preface for "Grey Knight Science Fiction Story 1".

For Master Yuan, who was rewarded by good people, he sent a pillow when he was sleepy. He accepted it happily without saying a word, and accompanied the two Jews to the White House.

When he met President Harding, Yuan Yan suddenly understood why he later changed his mind and agreed to Einstein. Because the one who accompanied Harding for this private meeting was a member of his cabinet.

This guy is a mining engineer. As a science student, he should be looking forward to meeting with the great magician. Maybe in the original historical line, he advised Harding to change his mind.

He is an "old friend of the Chinese people", an engineer at Kaiping Coal Mine, chairman of the U.S. Relief Commission and the U.S. Food Administration during World War I, the current secretary of the federal government's Commerce Department, and the future 31st president. After World War II, Herbert Clark Hoover, who made a fortune in Japan with MacArthur.

Speaking of which, Master Yuan has known three Republican leaders, namely Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.

The first person he met was John Calvin Coolidge (Jr.). When he was still living in the New York Presbyterian Hospital as a Wall Street bomber in November last year, Coolidge came to visit the disease and delivered a speech in front of the hospital questioning the New York judicial department and BOI.

Yuan Yan was able to clear the suspicion and the vice president had a single credit... Well, Wall Street BOOOOOM was indeed not done by him. In a sense, he was still a victim.

In addition, Coolidge is famous in the United States for his classical liberal conservatives. He particularly advocates small government and free markets. Logically speaking, he should have a common language with Master Yuan, a neoclassical liberal master.

In fact, Yuan Yanshu naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with the next US president, but John Coolidge and Warren Harding were like two sides of a coin. The vice president and President Harding were two extremes in dealing with people. He was very difficult to deal with, and he was a bit like not to enter the stranger.

This guy has a nickname called "Silent Carl". In fact, as a politician, Coolidge is quite good at speaking, but he usually speaks very little.

A story that may have been fabricated is like this: Once, the female poet Dorothy Parker sat next to Coolidge at a dinner party and said to him, "Mr. Coolidge, I just made a bet with a friend, and he said I can't let you say more than two words."

Coolidge glanced at her and replied, "You lose."

Later, when he heard Coolidge die of illness, Parker said, "How did they determine that he was dead? Just because he stopped talking?"

Coolidge often seems to be dissatisfied with the fashion society in Washington. When someone asks why he continues to attend so many banquets, Coolidge replied: "You have to find a place to eat."

So our Master Yuan has never found the opportunity to approach President Coolidge, who is known for his "Coolidge prosperity".

But now he has a chance to get close to President Hoover, who is known for the "Hoover Great Depression".

Hoover is probably the American commander who "knows" Cyris the most in history.
