Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 86: Section 38
Chapter Subtitle: The Chandler Family
Tuesday afternoon, March 8, 1921, Secretary of State’s office.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
"Come in." The Secretary of State, who was working at his desk, looked up at his secretary and asked, "What's the matter?"
The secretary said with difficulty: "Mr. Hughes, you asked me to arrange for Mr. Yuan to meet you tomorrow, but...but he said he had important matters to attend to in New York."
"Back to New York?" the current US Secretary of State asked somewhat unhappily, "Did that Chinese say when he would come to Washington again?"
"He didn't say anything on the phone, but..." the secretary said, "He sent you three books."
Mr. Hughes asked curiously, "Three books? What books?"
The secretary stepped forward and said, "These are the three books."
The Secretary of State took them and saw that the three books were Socialism, The Art of 144 Cards, and Japan Can Say No…
Our Master Yuan has arrived in New York. He even met the President of the United States during his visit to Washington, so whether he met the Secretary of State or not is not that important.
Regardless of whether he suggested it or not, the Washington Conference would still be held, and Seres's situation would not be improved by his suggestions, but it certainly would not be worse either. So whether or not to meet with Mr. Hughes was not that important.
The most crucial thing is that the Americans wanted to hold the Washington Conference in order to bury the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in a decent manner, but Yuan Yanshu was determined to make this process less decent, so as to provoke relations between the United States, Britain and Japan and lay a solid foundation for his "grand plan."
Master Yuan has figured it out. Even if they want to meet, they have to wait until the movie "Orphan of Famine" is released.
In addition, he did have to go back to New York for important matters, so he left Washington on his own. Moreover, the Rosewood Hotel was very kind to reserve the room for him.
Look, this is how a master should be treated.
"Hey, why is it so congested today?"
He said goodbye to his friends at the station and got into a taxi with the two beauties. But they were stuck in traffic, which was a rare experience in New York in 1921.
Miss Enyuka replied as a matter of course: "Neo, today is Women's Day. There should be someone marching."
Yes, International Women's Day and May Day were both invented by Americans, but a hundred years later, these two holidays became fixed holidays for the Seres. History is really interesting.
Who says that USA cannot become USAS? You should know that March 8th and May 1st both originated in Chicago, and American workers were still very militant at that time.
May 1st Labor Day was personally established by Uncle En. March 8th Women's Day was initiated by Clark Zetkin, known as the "Mother of the International Women's Movement". This German dragoon also has a place in the history of the international communist movement. She was one of the founders of the German Social Democratic Party, the German Communist Party, and the Second International.
Ms. Zetkin also established a deep friendship with Lenin and was an important member of the European left-wing intellectuals who defended the Soviet Union. Later, she was awarded the "Order of the Red Flag" and could be regarded as the earliest March 8th Red Flag Bearer.
Thinking of the Red Flag Bearer, Yuan Yan's heart suddenly moved. She didn't know if the Red Flag Bearer had figured it out and whether he was willing to return to China to try his luck.
One of the reasons why he hurried back to New York this time was to meet a prominent figure in the Hongmen. This old man was now floating on the Atlantic Ocean and would arrive in a few days.
This man is an important piece of the puzzle in Master Yuan's plan.
Another reason is that "Lord Fool" came mainly to see "Lord Justice" off. As for the Chinese-American Trotskyist spy, he boarded a mail ship to Europe a few days ago.
However, Yuan Yan did not expect that Zhuang Kunlun, whom he casually sent to Paris, would really thrive there and become the big brother of the group in Paris. When he saw Zhuang again, he was completely different.
As for what she experienced in Paris and what would happen after she returned to Seris, he certainly had no idea...
Fortunately, he didn't know, otherwise it would have been a 404 error..
Not long after our Master Yuan returned to the apartment, Mr. Chandler and his family arrived as promised. The Germans are very punctual.
"Mr. Professor, long time no see. I heard that you got tenured as a professor at NYU. Congratulations."
The tenure system means that once appointed, the tenure can be extended until retirement, without being subject to various assessments by the school and without the pressure of being fired. At the same time, they also enjoy the tenure allowance issued by the school.
Of course, Yuan Yanshu also made a "small" contribution to Professor Chandler's being named a tenured professor.
The old Teutonic Knight was naturally well aware of this, so he said gratefully : "Mr. Yuan, speaking of this matter, there is still..."
“Hahaha …” Master Yuan interrupted with a smile, “Professor, please don’t say those words, or people will think you are going to let me off easy on my doctorate degree.”
"Haha..." Mr. Chandler smiled rarely. He raised his glasses and said, "Speaking of doctoral degrees... Mr. Yuan, everyone in the department has been talking about your doctoral dissertation these days."
"Oh, so what do everyone think of it?" Yuan Yan asked naturally.
"Well..." The professor paused for a moment and said, "I can only say that everyone discussed this very actively and enthusiastically. Some people think..."
"Pika Pika."
"Master Ball, what the hell are you talking about? I didn't say anything."
"Host, I know you haven't said anything, but you can't let this old guy continue talking!"
"Master Ball, why is this?"
"Host, no, explanation!"
Our Master Yuan had no choice but to cough and say, "Professor, I will ask you for advice another day. Let's not talk about this matter today."
Alas, I don’t know when I can talk about my doctoral dissertation again. Who told me to plagiarize Mises’s Socialism? It’s not easy to be a reactionary intellectual.
"Julie, you look so beautiful today!"
"Thank you, Neo."
Yuan Yan suddenly greeted Mrs. Chandler, then shook her husband's hand vigorously.
"Yuri!"
"Neo!" "Lord Justice" said without further ado, pointing to a pair of beautiful blond siblings behind him and said, "This is my sister Eva and my brother Heinche."
Our Master Yuan looked at these two little Chandlers, one female and one male, and his heart was moved again and again...
"Pika Pika."
"Master Ball, what are you doing?!"
"Host, this system knows that you have a lot of historical postures, but it is better not to use allusions like 'Double Flying into the Purple Palace'."
