The journey starts from the Titanic

What exactly is love?Asking himself, Situ Nan couldn't find an answer.Now Situ Nan has given up his heart, "I can't go back!..." Situ Nan sighed, the former Vier can only be a symbol in memory, and occasionally he will think of the Titanic, everything on board, and The Laura who once met herself by the water.

Chapter 16 War, and Roses!

After two days, Robles suddenly ran over to Situ Nan and said, "Have you heard? The Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Grand Duke Ferdinand, was killed in Serbia! This time war may be coming!" Robb Si was very excited.

Situ Nan looked back at the calendar, June 29, 1914, it should be this time. There is a few time differences between the United States and Europe. History has not been changed. It has been developing according to the original track. Situ Nan finally felt relieved. coming.

"Calm down, things haven't reached that point yet, let's watch carefully!" Situ Nan calmed Robes, who was overly excited. He didn't know that Robes was very worried about his adventure, but he rarely said it. That's it.Now that Europe has finally aroused such a big spark, the gunpowder barrel of war may detonate at any time, how can Robles not be excited!

"Old He, call the car and get ready, and come with me to the dock to pick up people later!" Situ Nan left the excited Robles and said to He Wenxiu.

"Yeah." He Wenxiu didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went out, he always did.

"Why, are you going to the dock to pick up people?" Robles asked.

"Yeah. My cousin and nephew." Situ Nan's voice was shaking.

In the afternoon, in the New York harbor, a young man walked out of a car and looked at the tall Statue of Liberty in front of him without speaking.

"It's been two years, and I'm back again." Situ Nan still remembered how embarrassed he was when he first came here. He came to New York with hesitation, loss, and the disaster that had just gone through life and death.

"It's all over and it will be fine." Situ Nan murmured.

Suddenly there was a cheer, "America!" The passengers on the ship looked at the Statue of Liberty and cheered, and a huge ship slowly entered the port.

Situ Nan stood at the passenger exit, excitedly holding his cousin Mary and nephew Tom, waiting and waiting, but there was no one to see, and he was a little worried.

"Old He, pay attention, a woman is carrying a child." Situ Nan said.

"Excuse me! are you stonywillian?" (Hello, are you Stonywillian?) Just as Situ Nan was in a hurry, a woman wearing a white dress and a lady's hat walked to Situ Nan's side , She was holding a three or four-year-old boy!

"Mary Mu?" Situ Nan asked subconsciously.

"Yes. I am Mary and this is my son Tom." Mary said with a smile.

Situ Nan looked at this woman, she looked a lot like Audrey Hepburn, but unlike the delicate Audrey Hepburn in the movie, Mary looked more mature and plump.

"Thank God, I finally saw you." Situ Nan said excitedly, "Come on, Little Tom, let's go back by car!" Situ Nan stretched out his hand to hold Little Tom, but was hiding in Mary's arms by the fearful little boy.

"Tom is a little afraid of life! Tom, this is Cousin Stonney William, don't be afraid! Uncle keeps sending us money. The toy you received last time was also given by him, remember?" Mary coaxed little Tom gently , That gentle smile seemed particularly maternal.

"Come on, uncle hug you, little Tom!" Maybe his mother's comfort has been effective, little Tom finally let Situ Nan hug him, he quietly hid in Situ Nan's arms, looking a little shy.

Mary and the others didn't have much luggage, He Wenxiu moved to the trunk at once.Seeing Tom's weak clothes in his arms, Situ Nan thought to himself that he was such an introverted child since he was a child. It is probably related to the absence of his father!

When Mu died, he should be less than two years old!No wonder Mu wants to ask himself to take care of their wives!It is not easy for a woman to carry a child by herself!

As if feeling in her heart, Mary suddenly turned her head and looked at Situ Nan and the child in his arms. She smiled sweetly. Those big watery eyes are like blue water, which can contain all wind and waves.

The three people sat in the back seat and were a little crowded. Situ Nan saw that Mary's white neck was a little blush, which was very beautiful.

"Dip!" The car stopped in front of the door of the New York Hotel, and the quick waiter hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.

"Let's go, we're here. Uncle will take you to a big meal later, okay?" Situ Nan kissed little Tom, making him giggle.

"Move these to suite 601." He Wenxiu gave the waiter a tip as soon as he got out of the car.This is a habit that Situ Nan insists on. After a few attempts, he has adapted to this habit.

"Mom, this room is so big and beautiful!" The child is a child, and is attracted by the luxury of the hotel as soon as he enters the door.

Mary was also surprised when she entered such a luxurious room. Although her home in the UK is also good, it is the first time she has lived in such a luxurious room, so she hesitated and said: "Will it be too extravagant?"

"Don't worry! Not at all! It just so happens that I have an investment to live here for a while, and it's almost finished now. You live here for a few days now, and then we will go to Los Angeles together." Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Although Mary knew that Mu's cousin had made a fortune in the United States, she did not expect how rich he was!Stonney had always sent money to the UK before, and with Mu’s pension, Mary’s family had a pretty good time in the UK.

She had also heard about Situ Nan from Wallace, but it was different from what Mu said before. Mu once said that he couldn’t get used to this cousin doing nothing on the street all day, so he took this cousin to run. Boat.After the terrible news from the Titanic, Mary was heartbroken, but for the sake of little Tom, she had to raise him up.

Mary has never met Situ Nan’s cousin. She only knows that he has sent tens of thousands of pounds intermittently in the past two days. Now it seems that this cousin who has never met before is living much better than she thought. Up!I really don't understand how he did it in these short two years?Had it not been for Wallace to persuade himself that Europe was about to go to war, he might have remained in the UK forever!Mary sighed inwardly.

"Mu is very good to me. Without Mu, there would be no me! He saved me. Finally, he told me to take good care of you, but I have been busy for the past two years, and there is no time to be in the UK. Come here, I will take good care of you in the future. I will let Tom receive the best education and grow up healthy and happy!"

Situ Nan said to Mary and also to himself.

Mary didn't say anything, but her moving eyes were grateful.

In the evening, I really want to eat what Situ Nan said, fresh and tender pine cones, crispy lamb chops, fresh big lobster, French foie gras, caviar, etc. Situ Nan specially ordered a lot of dishes, letting little Tom She screamed with excitement, making Mary a little embarrassed.

At dinner, Robles ran over. There was one more Robbers that could be eaten. There were three men, He Wenxiu, and Situ Nan. Otherwise, depending on Mary and Tom, there would be a lot of food left on this table. Up.

During the dinner, Robles told Situ Nan that Europe was about to be in chaos during this period, and the countries of the two major camps issued some warnings or resolutions from time to time.The stock markets in Wall Street and London have been turbulent these days, and a lot of stocks in some arms companies have been born.Finally, there is good news that oil prices have risen a lot!Occidental Petroleum began full production.

Since Europe does not produce oil, most of the oil is produced through their colonies and imported by the United States. Therefore, once a war breaks out, American oil companies will not hesitate to expand their production capacity as if they received a charge order. Expanding, expanding, no one knows that this war will be protracted. There has never been such a tragic war in human history. Industrial powers like Britain and France will face the embarrassing situation of shortage of supplies.

Mary listened to the conversation between Robles and Situ Nan, and she was a little fortunate. Fortunately, she left the UK before the war. Although there was a Royal Navy, the possibility of war in Britain was very small, but the war always caused panic among civilians.Mary was a little surprised at the same time. People who can discuss these topics should have a lot of energy. Mary has a deeper understanding of the impression of Situ Nan's cousin.

With a meal, and some toys, Situ Nan easily "buyed" Tom's heart. Now the child has a lot of relationship with Situ Nan, even a little clingy!But when Mary looked over, Little Tom consciously walked away, not disturbing Situ Nan's work.

The situation in Europe affects the eyes of the whole world, and what American businessmen looking across the sea want to see has finally happened.On July 28, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia.On July 30, Russia mobilized troops to assist Serbia.On August 1, Germany declared war on Russia, and then on August 3 Germany declared war on France.On August 4, Germany invaded the neutral country Belgium, and Britain declared war on Germany.On August 6, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Russia, and on the 12th, Britain declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Since then, the first world war in human history has begun.The war spread from Europe to Asia and Africa, and 33 countries were involved.Including the now happily American nouveau riche merchant country.

I stayed in the hotel for almost three months, and even the accommodation fee was tens of thousands of dollars. It would be really stressful if it weren't for the upstarts like Situ Nan.

When he heard the news that the war had started, Robles rushed into Situ Nan’s room and pulled Situ Nan, who was asleep at the time, up from the bed and exclaimed in excitement: "Fight, it really happened! Stone, we are rich. I'm really rich!"

After a while, Situ Nan, who was awkwardly asleep, remembered what Robes was talking about.

"Oh! Great! Take his mother!" Excitedly, Situ Nan suddenly said a national curse. Unfortunately, Robles was not clear for a while, but it was definitely not in English.

"Robos, you are a son of a bitch, the best bitch, you have brought me great news!" Situ grabbed Robes by the shoulder and said incoherently, but was beaten on the shoulder by Robles. A punch.During this period of time, although Situ Nan looked calm and confident on the surface, he was under tremendous pressure in his heart.Now I can finally vent.

"Come on! The damn war is finally here, Europeans cry for their mothers, let Lao Tzu make all your money!" The excited Situ Nan shouted a little bit exhausted.

"Damn Stoneny, you're spraying shit? But that's the most fragrant shit!" Robles was also infected by Situ Nan's madness, and the two big men were as happy as children. Yelled.

Situ Nan had no intention of sleeping anymore!The two of them toasted and drank in the living room with Robles.

They made such a fuss, not only did they not have to sleep, but even Mary was woken up.She walked out of the room sleepily, and saw the two men drinking happily while talking excitedly!

"Stoney, what's the matter?" Mary asked.

"Oh, nothing. Robles just made a big deal, so I'm happy." Situ Nan said. War is a good thing for them, but it is a disaster for most of them. He doesn't want her to marry her. Know, lest you feel bad.

"Go back to sleep! We promise to be quiet!" Situ Nan said in a hoarse voice.

When Mary came out, a button was loosened on the top of her pajamas, revealing a large white breast, bulging and unfathomable, supporting the clothes in front of them, and her slender thighs, what a British flower rose!

Situ Nan, who had drunk a lot of alcohol, was a little bit ready to move, he looked at it for a while, and his body actually reacted!

Perhaps she was awakened by Situ Nan's fiery eyes, Mary panicked, blushing, then groaned, and ran into the room a little shyly.
