Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 201: Cairo Rose Hotel (middle)

"Forty years ago?" Xu Jun looked around, and the house was indeed quite old.

Queen Victoria was still alive in 1900, and her empire was at its peak.

Several important historical events with far-reaching impact occurred in the world that year. For example, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. The powers forced the Manchu and Qing government to sign the "Xin Chou Treaty". Since then, China has completely become a semi-colonial and semi-feudal. In the country, the Boxer indemnity of 450 million taels of silver almost emptied the vitality of the Manchu Qing government, and the disappointment of the people in the Qing court finally triggered the Revolution of 1911 11 years later.

The famous Boer War of that year entered the most brutal third stage. The reputation that the lobster soldiers finally accumulated has been exhausted in this notorious war. Many historians believe that the decline of the sun never set empire began at that time, because just after the second Boer battle, the British Empire stopped uninterrupted foreign expansion for decades, and the cabinet decided to move overseas. The power of the territory was transferred to the dominions, and then the national strategic focus was transferred back to the European mainland, and began to fully respond to the rise of the Second German Empire. As a result, fourteen years later, the terrible World War I broke out. Although the British Empire was finally victorious, the empire that never sets in the sun has also been in decline since then, and there is no longer any arrogance to spread all over the world.

That year Nietzsche died. That brilliant philosopher, the great thinker who shouted "God is dead", died in the arms of his relatives. I am afraid that he would never even dream of his philosophical thoughts. Absorbed and used by an Austrian, thirty-three years after Nietzsche's death, Hitler sat on the throne of the head of the German Empire.

In 1900, Himmler was born. The national leader of the SS, who would become famous to Europeans in the future, was as innocent and cute as other newborn babies. In the same year, Planck published his quantum theory in a magazine, and a new discipline was born. Quantum physics allowed humans to understand and understand the world more clearly, but at the same time it also opened up a path to waste. The gate of the earth world.

In 190, a little British nobleman abandoned everything in the country, with only a butler and two entourages by his side, came to Cairo, the Egyptian capital, and spent a lot of money to buy this city center. On the land, and built a hotel on it. Compared with the events mentioned above, this is really a trivial matter, but for the jazz, it is the beginning of a new life.

"The butler who followed Sir Durant back then was my father." Fett recounted: "My family began to serve the Durant family when George III was reigning. It has been through five generations. And I am the sixth generation."

"George III? That counts for almost a century." Xu Jun said with a cigar in his mouth.

"That's true, Your Excellency." Fett's face was a little proud.

At that time, the butlers of the British nobles were mostly hereditary, but very few of them lasted for more than three generations. Like their family, who have served the same master for more than a century, they can be regarded as rare.

"This is no longer a housekeeper, but a retainer at all." Weierle thought to himself.

"I thought it was well-trained, but it turned out to be a family background." Xu Jun looked at the problem from a different perspective from the Chief of Staff.

"Cairo Rose has been in a prosperous business since the day it opened. Jazz has a good vision. At that time, there was hardly a British hotel in Cairo in the true sense. The service we provided was the best in Egypt. The Jazz's goal is to allow all travelers who live in Cairo Roses to receive the same service and enjoyment as they did in London." Fett continued to introduce.

"Sir Durant is indeed a smart man. This is a very successful business case." Xu Jun nodded and said.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency."

"But what does this have to do with this piano?" Xu Jun pointed to the piano with a cigar.

"Your Excellency, please listen to me patiently." Fett straightened slightly, and then continued: "That was the tenth year since the Jazz came to Egypt. Cairo Rose has become the highest in Cairo. In other hotels, guests from all over the world come to Egypt to play or explore treasures. Cairo Rose has become the first choice of VIPs. At that time, guests must book half a year in advance, and there is no guarantee that they will get a room." His eyes were shining, and pride almost overflowed from his nostrils.

"Just in the summer of that year, the Jazz met the man he was destined for, Miss Erie de Rachel." Fett's gaze turned to the wall, with a figure hanging on it.

"In that picture is Miss Rachel. I still remember the first time I saw her. I just took over from my father and became the seventh-generation housekeeper of the Durant family~IndoMTL. com~ I was very young then." Fett's eyes diverged, seeming to be immersed in memories.

"At that time, many people came to Egypt to explore treasures, especially the children of aristocratic families. They had both time and spare money. Miss Rachel came to Egypt with the friends she met in the salon. She was a An extremely cheerful and lively lady, with a smile on her face all day long." Fett said there was a warm smile on her mouth.

At this moment, many German officers and soldiers have gathered in this lounge. There are officers from the Flag Guard who came to guard after hearing the inquiry, there are also agents of the General Security Bureau who are preparing to come to meet the head of state, and the head of state holding a teapot tray. Personal adjutant. Everyone consciously kept quiet to avoid affecting the heads of state's mood of listening to the story.

Xu Jun raised his head and beckoned to Disenhofen, who was standing by, motioning him to put the teapot on the coffee table in front of him.

"Drink some tea first, Mr. Fetter. I just don't know if you are used to drinking Chinese green tea. This is a gift specially given to me by the Chinese national leader." Xu Jun introduced.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, I like Chinese tea very much. This should smell of "scaring fragrance" from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River." Fett sniffed the fragrance of tea in the air and smiled to Xu Jun Speaking of.

The German head of state hadn't reacted at first, but he immediately noticed that the Englishman finally spoke a standard Suzhou dialect.

Your Excellency the Führer is beginning to be a little bit confused. Is this a special case in front of him, or is all British butlers like this evildoer? However, Xu Jun subconsciously felt that it should be the former. He had met the chief of the British royal family at Buckingham Palace. That guy didn't even speak German smoothly, let alone any Chinese dialect.
