Chapter 126 Easter on

Subtitle of this chapter: It's so boring. I haven't been here for two months... Well, our Master Yuan will be a quiet and handsome man.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sunday, March 27, 1921, Easter.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, but Patton's kitchen was already busy.

"Hurry up and prepare breakfast to deliver to the front. The Major and Madam, and their friends are all hungry!"

The week of Easter is also called Saint Week, and this Saturday is Holy Saturday, with a vigil at night. So they didn't sleep all night.

"Yes, Mr. Madam and their friends should be hungry, they have been fighting all night... Well, what's that name?"

"That's called Mahjong, they played mahjong all night."

"By the way, it's the gift from Mahjong...."

"What are you squinting?! I warn you, a talkative woman, never say bad things about the noble Mr. Yuan again, otherwise you will not have the best fruits to eat!"

"You took the wrong medicine? Yesterday you said that Mimi... Mr. Yuan is a pretentious little white-faced person. How did you say such words today?"

"Hmph, you were not in the living room yesterday, and you didn't have the blessing to see the magical part of the noble Mr. Yuan. I tell you, he is..."

"Okay, let's talk about that later. You can take the fresh milk in first."

"OK!"

Yuan Yanshu had a very tight chest this night. He didn't expect that there would be any vigil on this Holy Saturday. He originally wanted to make Miss Moman COME ON and GO DOWN, but in the end he played all night mahjong with them.

Of course, he will not lose money with "card: eternal whiteboard", but he can't win much money, so Master Yuan lacks interest in this.

In addition to her, the other big winner in this game was Major Eisenhower. He really won a lot of money, but Patton and Connor were both rich people who did not rely on their wages, and losing one or two hundred dollars is not a big deal.

In fact, Eisenhau in history was originally an avid bridge enthusiast and his card skills were superb. He usually won more than he lost when participating in card games, and he could even make up for his family.

The so-called "one-to-one" game is actually the principle of games like bridge and mahjong.

So on this night, an avid mahjong enthusiast and a skilled mahjong fighter was born gorgeously.

At this time, Yuan Yanshu didn't know that the biggest contributor to make mahjong popular all over the world in the future were these American imperialists in front of him.

With his efforts, the first-class Navy, the second-class Army and the third-class Army Air Force and the middle-level officers of the Marine Corps became the first mahjong enthusiasts.

Because they have such a hobby, playing mahjong among the kings in the 1920s and 1930s became the most popular entertainment.

During World War II, the royal divisions who rushed to various battlefields contained chocolate and chewing gum in their pockets, cigarettes in one pocket, and a cover in the last pocket. Inside the last pocket was a pair of paper mahjong plaques.

In this way, they let the illegitimate sons and mahjong plaques sweep across the entire old Europe and Southeast Asia, which is really a great deal.

Four men and four women who had breakfast all night had four men and women and went back to their room to sleep. After they woke up and finished lunch, they welcomed guests to attend the Easter dinner.

Among the various festivals in the Christian world, Easter is a little lower than Christmas. If Christmas is equivalent to the Spring Festival of the Seris, then Easter is comparable to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This festival is still very prosperous for children. A large group of children, including the Bartons' nine-year-old eldest daughter and the five-year-old eldest son, carrying bamboo baskets in their hands, were looking for pre-placed Easter eggs in the garden outside the villa.

Just as the Christmas tree is a symbol of Christmas, easter eggs are the symbol of Easter. The program for children to find easter eggs is a unique custom for Americans.

The adults were holding wine glasses, eating snacks, and conducting social activities that children did not understand.

In fact, there were not many guests coming today. In addition to the few who arrived yesterday, three officers from the Fourth Battalion and their families came.

Well, as recorded in historical records, this old man Patton is not very popular.

In fact, with his background, he is definitely a normal job, which is far behind MacArthur.

Patton was just a colonel in 1940 before World War II. In the same year, under the care of Marshall, he was promoted to two consecutive levels to become a major general.

The so-called personality determines destiny. His biggest flaw is that his temper is too bad. In addition to looking at the characters he likes, his style of getting along seems a bit rough.

Judging from his careful appearance, you can tell that working under Patton is not a pleasant thing.

People like him can probably only reflect their value on the battlefield. Of course, the premise is to have a backstage to provide him with a stage that allows him to display his military talents.

At about four o'clock, George Patton and Fox Connor arrived at the country house.

When the big backstage led his adjutant into the garden, everyone present stood up. The officers even saluted solemnly together.

"Your Excellency!"

That's right, the only general of the Armies in American history came, John Joseph Pershing.

There was also a Navy Superior Admiral of the Navy in the Spanish-American War and captured the Philippines. Therefore, it was awarded this honorary position in 1903.

Another six-star general is the cherry blossom axe, and his head is higher than that of any military general. However, this will be posthumously awarded to him by President Gerald Ford on the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 1976.

Washington has been dead for more than a hundred years, and George Dewey also died in 1917. General Pershing became a living legend.

The legend, who is actually only 61 years old this year, is George Patton's chief and friend, and he almost became his brother-in-law.

Pershing gave a voucher to Mrs. Patton intimately, shook hands with Patton and said, "Bicue, George, thank you for your invitation. Otherwise, we two widowers wouldn't know where to celebrate Easter?"

As he said that, the widower behind him also walked up to greet the hostess.

Mrs. Patton took the initiative to come forward and hugged the widower and said, "George, I'm glad you can come. Poor Elizabeth, may God bless her."

"Thank you, Bicui." George nodded to the hostess, then turned to the hostess and said, "And you, George."

The two famous military generals of the same name shook hands.

That's right, this is one of the future "Three Chiefs of the Empire", the current Adjutant Pershing, Major George Catrill Marshall.
