Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 202: Cairo Rose Hotel (Part 2)

"Your Suzhou dialect is very good, Mr. Fetter." The head of state held up the tea cup indifferently, and blew the tea in the cup with grace.

This time it was Fett's turn to be surprised. The other party was able to directly point out the language he used. It seems that the German head of state is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"You are so knowledgeable and able to distinguish the dialect of Suzhou, China." Fett respectfully praised.

Speaking of which, even locals in Suzhou at this time, I am afraid that not many people know that "scared people are incense." This kind of tea also has a famous name called "Biluochun", which is said to be the name given by the rabbit-hunting madman Xiaoma...Xiao Xuanzi himself (the rabbit is so spicy, how can you hunt the rabbit...o(≧口≦)o!).

When the golden mouth of the great Qing kidney ancestor opened, the rustic name "Scaring the Sharenxiang", of course, can no longer be used. In the Qing Dynasty, the name "Biluochun" reverberated across the country as a tribute tea, and the name "Scarer", a name given to working people, has been buried in the pile of old paper.

"Biluochun is a famous Chinese tea, and here is a specially selected premium product, because the production area has been occupied by the Japanese army, the Chairman Chiang has not much left." Xu Jun took a sip of tea. , And then put the tea cup back on the coffee table.

"I'm a little curious, where did you learn your Suzhou dialect." the German head of state asked.

"I once went to China with Sir Durant and lived in Suzhou for a week." Fett replied.

"In a week, you learned the local language?" Xu Jun opened his eyes wide, and the guy in front of him was a genius.

"It's just some simple daily language, I have to say, this is a very beautiful dialect." Fett replied somewhat proudly.

"Then you need to say, Wu Nong's soft words are not made out of her name." Xu Jun thought to himself.

"Have Sir Durant been to many countries?" The head of state changed the question.

"Jazz doesn't like travelling. Miss Rachel's proposal to go to China that time was also the proposal of Miss Rachel. She always wanted to go to the East for her honeymoon."

"They are married? You mentioned earlier that Rachel came to Cairo..." Although he knew the answer for a long time, Xu Jun still asked in cooperation.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the two of them are married. This should be the most romantic thing I have ever seen in my life." Fett's tone was full of emotion.

He took off his white gloves, thanked Xu Jun, and held up the tea cup in front of him.

"Miss Rachel’s companions did not have any travel experience. They only took a few suitcases and personal servants, and ran to Cairo stupidly. At that time, the security situation in Egypt was very poor, and it is much better now. Back then it was really messy. The streets were full of beggars, thieves and scammers. After getting off the ship, Miss Rachel lost half of her luggage, her wallet and all her documents. If she was not lucky enough to meet Jazz, I'm afraid they will have to sleep on the street that day." Fett said.

"Does the police care?" Weierle frowned.

"General, it was 1910." Fett replied with a smile.

"Oh, I forgot." Weierle patted his forehead.

In 1910, Egypt was not yet a British colony, but in name it was an Egyptian province under the Ottoman Empire. Although the British ambassador to Egypt holds actual control, considering the influence of international politics, the British cannot be too explicit in some aspects.

The British are worried that if they start this head, they will trigger other ideas in Russia and France. These two countries have long coveted the land of the Ottoman Empire, but they suffer from the lack of a legitimate reason. If the British had dared to annex Egypt openly, the Russians would have dared to send Constantine the next day.

The situation in Europe before the First World War was a mess, with various ethnic conflicts, various regional disputes, various interest entanglements, various deaths, various madness, and the contradictions among several major powers have reached a critical point. Point, the whole of Europe is like sitting on a volcanic crater about to erupt. Some smart people have already sensed the danger, but most people choose to turn a blind eye. People are immersed in the prosperity brought by the Industrial Revolution. Europeans do their best. Anesthetize himself, and confidently wait for the end to come.

"Don't interrupt Fett's story, Weierle." Xu Jun said with a smile, and the chief of staff quickly nodded and said yes.

"Please go on, Mr. Fetter, what happened afterwards." The head of state spread his hands gracefully, and the natural aristocratic temperament made the people in the room involuntarily respect. Everyone beside him couldn't help sighing that he was indeed an apostle of God, and he was indeed the leader of the country. His majesty was revealed in the ordinary, and every move was awe-inspiring.

"Sir Durant fell in love with Miss Rachel at the first sight. He was thirty-six years old at the time, while Miss Rachel was only 19. Years old, but Jazz did not care about the age difference and launched a fanatical pursuit of Miss Rachel. Jazz is a romantic gentleman. He personally picks a bouquet of roses from the garden every day and gives it to Miss Rachel. At the same time Send out passionate love letters, and there are countless poems in praise of love." Fett told the past with a look of fascination.

"Obviously, it is the old cow who wants to gnaw the tender grass, but this old guy still said so grandiosely." The head of state swallowed the spoonful of dog food with a bit of blood.

Speaking of which, this was a very common thing in Europe at the time. There were even greater age gaps. Some countries did not even have a minimum age for marriage, so don't overestimate the morality of Europeans on marriage issues.

"Miss Rachel was finally moved by the jazz's persistence." (Head of State: I can't bear it, I was stalked by an uncle like a neurotic...)

"So she agreed to Sir's marriage proposal." (Head of State: Poor French cabbage...ahooah.)

"This piano was specially made by Jazz from Paris in the past. It was an engagement gift for Miss Rachel. He was worried that Miss Rachel would miss her homeland, so he chose a piano made in France. What a romantic idea. This piano proves a true and beautiful love.” (Head of State: This B-grade piano is not expensive, so I even bought her a piano factory. What's so romantic, oh oh oh... this dog Good food stuffs your teeth.)

"Sure enough, it is a romantic love story. Jazz's life after marriage must be very happy." The empire head chuckled his palms and smiled lightly behind his head.

"It’s true, Your Excellency, Lord Durant and Mrs. Rachel have had a good time. They are immersed in happiness every moment. Sir and Madam are so happy, even me. The bystanders felt a little jealous." Fett replied.

"It is indeed enviable. After hearing such a romantic love story, I really want to meet the Jazz couple in person." The head of state said with a look of expectation.

"It's a pity that they are all dead." Fett replied respectfully. Xu Jun shook his hand holding the teacup and almost poured tea on his pants.

"It's really a shame, when did it happen. (I'm kidding me, believe it or not, drag you out to feed Stalin (╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴)" The head of state asked with a serious expression .

"During the World War, the Jazz participated in the British Army and contracted malaria in the jungles of East Africa. He died less than half a year after he was sent back. It was only two months before the end of the war." Fett looked serious. Speaking of.

"So what about Mrs. Rachel? When did she pass away." Xu Jun asked in a deep voice, picking up half of the cigar in the ashtray.

"Just half a year after the death of Jazz, Mrs. Rachel returned to England for burial with Jazz's body. As a result, she contracted Spanish flu in London." Fett replied sadly.

The Spanish flu is the most serious pandemic outbreak in the 20th century. The death toll is second only to the notorious Black Death in history. In just two years from 1918 to 1919, more than one billion people worldwide fell ill, and about 40 million of them died. This figure is the number of deaths on the battlefield in the first World War that just ended. Four times the total number of people.

People gave this terrible virus the number H1N1. At that time, people burned all the remains according to custom, so later generations have been unable to see the true face of this virus. It was not until the end of the twentieth century that American and British scientists isolated the deadly virus from the newly discovered remains of the dead.

"This is really a tragedy." What can Xu Jun say at this time.

"Then who is taking care of this hotel now, Mr. Fetter, is the Jazz's family?" Weierle interjected.

"Unfortunately, the Sir has no family in the UK. In fact, he was forced to leave from the UK. The Durant family has several strong enemies in the country, but they don’t have to worry about it now. The Durant family has Completely extinct, no one will seek revenge on them again." Fett said sadly: "Now the owner of this hotel is Mrs. Rachel’s nephew. He is the last living heir of the two families, but after the war he So I returned to France and joined the French army. We still had correspondence before, but we cut off contact after June today. I have written several letters to the French Ministry of War, but I haven’t heard back yet. I originally planned to go to France early next year. In any case, I will find Master Jean Dour." Fett's expression is extremely firm, and it seems that he has made up his mind.

"I think I might be able to help you~IndoMTL.com~What is the full name of that Jean Doer? Which unit is in?" Xu Jun straightened his body and said kindly. .

"That's great. His full name is Paul Jean Toure. He served in the Fifteenth Motorized Infantry Division of the French Army. I don't know which unit it is. The rank should be just a private. "Fett replied with excitement. He actually had this idea at the beginning, but he was worried that the identity of the other party was too high and he didn't know how to bring it up.

Fett's description is very logical. An expatriate who returns to join the army from overseas can only be a big soldier.

"Eric, send a telegram to the Army Command and ask them to check it out." Then Xu Jun turned his head to Fett and said: "As long as it is not killed in battle, you should get news soon. "

"I really don't know how to thank you now, Your Excellency." Fett stood up gratefully and bowed solemnly to Xu Jun.

"It's easy. Are you interested in coming to work for me, Mr. Bourne Fetter." The corner of the head of state's mouth was slightly tilted, and a little fox smile appeared.
