Churchill picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and put it into Lin Yue's hand. He touched it with his own wine glass, put it to his mouth and took a big sip.
"Mr. Lin, they said that I am an old stubborn who stutters, and my wife said that I am a willful little boy. But both the old stubborn and the little boy were moved by your sincere talk. Please go back and tell the first lady that I After concluding her meeting with President Roosevelt, she will make a special trip to the manor where she lives in New York City to visit her.”
Lin Yue raised his glass to signal and took a sip of wine.
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister."
Churchill asked him to sit down: "But there is one thing I am curious about."
"Please tell me."
"Why does Mr. Lin have a very deep understanding of my affairs? This should be the first time we meet, right?"
Lin Yuexin said, yes, this is your first time meeting me, but I have heard a lot about you and World War II.
"It's actually very simple, because Brigadier General Victor has always admired you and aspired to be like you. I had a long chat with him and knew that you are a broad-minded gentleman, so I had the courage to come to Washington to see you. you."
Churchill said: "No, I should thank you. Young man, you showed me the nobility of the Chinese people."
He leaned forward and whispered: "You know, during my time in the White House, I heard those cleaning people say more than once that the equal tolerance that the First Lady talks about is hypocritical equal tolerance, because she I don’t know how to respect staff other than government officials.”
Lin Yue shook his head: "About this matter, I hope you can give us a little more time and tolerance."
"Mr. Lin, it's really nice to see you today." Churchill raised his glass: "Cheers."
"cheers."
…
A few days later, Churchill ended his talks with Roosevelt and went to New York with Halifax to visit the first lady. This incident caused quite a sensation in the world. It can be said that British Prime Minister Churchill gave the first lady enough face, not only The results of this visit to the United States have been further enhanced, and the Chinese people's resistance against the Japanese invaders has been more widely recognized and supported by the international community. It has also caused a sensation in the domestic society. Major newspapers and media have published and reprinted relevant articles, and have spoken positively of the first visit to the United States. The first lady's visit to the United States was a major victory, and the mood of all walks of life was high and morale was boosted.
At the same time, two more people lived in the courtyard that originally belonged to the wealthy gentleman of Zenda, as well as bundles of books. It is said that the old man almost spent all his savings in order to protect these books from the old Meng family and hired people to carry them. Fleeing from the north to the south, and then living on the border of Yunnan, a master who scolded traitors and traitors when he heard that the army was defeated, finally in order to save Yuanxiang Study, he was willing to become the acting security chief of Heshun Town in the Japanese-occupied area, although he He has never done anything harmful to Chinese people.
But even so, some unpleasant rumors spread among the cannon fodder, such as Han thieves, national humiliation, shameless scholars, etc.
Mi Long originally did not welcome Meng's father and Meng's mother to live in, because the old man had too many evil habits, and he had to be careful when doing things with Guan Jiici, but there was no way. After all, the house belonged to Lin Yue, so in this kind of matter Unfairly, if Lin Yue comes back in the future, how can he still have the face to see people?
So the Bull Demon King in this cannon fodder group put a cosmic circle on others and withered.
The day after Long Wenwen led a commando across the river and sneaked into the Japanese-occupied area to rescue Meng's father and Meng's mother, Meng Fanlao knelt down in the doorway of the outer courtyard. The stubborn old man saw his son crossing the river with his comrades to save him, but did not say anything. Forget it if you thank him. At the critical moment when the Japanese army might pounce at any time, he stubbornly asked everyone to bring those books with them. It seemed that in his eyes, Yuanxiang Study was more precious than the lives of the cannon fodder. Meng Fanglia couldn't bear it and used his gun. Pointing at the old man's chest, the father and son fell out.
Why did everyone risk being killed by the Japanese and sneak into the other side to rescue people? Why don't you give him Meng Laizi a chance to fulfill his filial piety? Now that the two of them were having such a quarrel, they couldn't let the father take the initiative to show weakness. Therefore, when Ayi and others went to the city to have fun, he came to Milong's house and kowtowed to his father to admit his mistake.
Meng Fan was kneeling for almost ten minutes. Shangguan Jiici came out with a bowl of food for him. The two chatted about Old Meng and Chen Xiaozui. At this time, Ayi Take Nidan'er to the yard.
"Oh, it's Captain Long... He asked us to come over and move the radio in Lin Yue's room to the black market and sell it in exchange for some rice, flour, grain and oil."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" Meng Fanlao pulled Ayi and said, "I always thought I was quite cheap, but I didn't expect him to be even meaner than me. I'll give you all the valuable things in the room." Have you moved everything? Can I have a snack?"
"I'm annoyed, it's useless for you to tell me this. It's Long Wenwen who wants to do this. He also said that Lin Yue caused us to offend Yu Xiaoqing. The things in his room are useless if they are placed there. It's better to sell them to Brothers, change your stutter.”
Ayi winked at Nidaner, and the guy went up to the second floor.
Meng Fan said: "I think he is mentally unbalanced. Lin Zuo is so capable. I don't know how happy the United States is now. Drinking foreign wine, smoking cigars and eating cakes and ice cream. Look at us, we are so poor." Eat dirt."
Shangguan Jiici said: "Why did I hear Mi Long say that Tang Ji sent you a box of canned beef and two bags of rice a few days ago, and you finished them so quickly?"
"Oh, that's it." Ayi explained: "Captain Long used those things to recruit a group of new soldiers."
"What is he doing? He thinks our life is so easy, so he got more than a hundred mouths to grab food. The recruits have rice porridge to drink, and the veterans eat plantains boiled in salt water." Meng Fan sighed. , looked at the narrow sky above his head and said: "I really miss the time in the shelter. Not to mention that there was meat to eat, but no one was hungry or thirsty, right? It's better now, we are really like a bunch of beggars."
Shangguan Jiici glared at him.
"Okay, stop complaining, eat your food, and go see Xiaozui when you're done."
After saying this, she turned and returned to the courtyard.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Meng Fanxiao shouted after her: "Pick up the food on the side, sit on the stone bench and eat it in your mouth."
"Hey, I'm bored." Ayi sat down next to him: "I heard that you met the guerrillas over there."
"yes."
When it comes to fighting, Ayi is an unreliable guy. This is the consensus of everyone in the Sichuan Army. When Long Wenwen led the commando to sneak into the Japanese-occupied area, he was in charge of military affairs on the Nujiang River and had no idea what was happening on the other side.
"Are there really guerrillas?"
Meng Fan was annoyed when he heard him ask such a question and put the food aside.
"There is a situation that I don't understand."
"what's the situation?"
