Insufficient balance

  Eleanor left a note with the address and phone number, she will take her daughter back to Washington tomorrow, the child's father and grandfather are eager to see how Catherine is doing, of course, also did not forget to warmly invite Xiao Yuanyuan's lifesaver Wang Geng, after discharge must go to Xiao Yuanyuan's home in Washington as a guest.

  Wang Gang carefully picked up the small note, and just as he did, Nurse Kelly walked in and caught him red-handed. The girl couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, thinking to herself that this guy had never even asked about her family situation before, yet now he was exchanging notes with someone else, probably containing phone numbers and home addresses.

  Wang Gang naturally saw that Kelly's face didn't look good, and this guy didn't hide or dodge, smiling and saying,

  "There was a little girl named Catherine, her mother invited me to visit their home after I recovered from the hospital, if I didn't agree she wouldn't leave, so in order not to add trouble to your mind, I had no choice but to agree!"

  Kai Li pouted and thought to herself, "Who would believe that you agreed to go to their house just for me? It's clear that you're taken in by the beauty of the young girl's mother, and have fallen for her charms."

  The beautiful nurse felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart, but she didn't want to give up just yet, and softly said,

  "Is that a note with the phone number and home address? Have you decided on a time and place for the date? Do you want me to call a car for Mr. Wang?" Kelly's eyes suddenly turned red, and she involuntarily turned her body away, not wanting Wang Gang to see.

  Wang Gang thought, what's going on here? Women are really unreasonable. Weren't women in 1920s America still quite conservative and traditional? But this woman from 1917 is no different from those a hundred years later when it comes to being jealous. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

  "When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll treat you to a meal. You can choose between Manhattan French cuisine or Italian food, and if you don't mind my cooking skills, I can even stir-fry some hometown dishes for you. Is that okay?"

  Kerry listened and turned from anger to joy, her heart blooming with flowers. She turned around, sniffled, looked at Wang Gang with a mixture of embarrassment and boldness.

  "You'd better keep your promise, don't even think about cheating me! If you do, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth, all the way to West Point or China if I have to, just to get this meal from you! What's so great about French cuisine or Italian pasta? Next time, come straight to my house and let me show you what a real master chef can do!"

  Wang Gang just wanted to coax the girl into a good mood, not daring to say no, nodding in agreement. Subconsciously, he touched his pocket and said with a bitter face, "Can you return my wallet? I still have some articles to write tonight, how can I stay up without cigarettes?"

  Kai Li didn't budge after regaining her composure. She turned her head and pointed at Wang Geng's forehead with her finger,

  "You're a patient in recovery now, yesterday you jumped so high and caught a cold again. My grandfather and Xiao Te both said not to let you smoke, it's an order of death, so I took away your wallet! Everything else can be discussed, but this is non-negotiable!"

  Wang Gang raised his hands in surrender, but thought to himself, "Damn it, I've survived in the bird-shit-free marshes of Estonia, how can I not score a smoke in this crowded metropolis of New York? Just you wait and see!"

  One afternoon, Wang Gang was quietly reading newspapers in his ward. Kelly had almost collected all the big and small newspapers published in New York City for him over the past week. Of course, this was only possible with the mobilization of all off-duty nurses from the inpatient department of New York City Central Hospital and their families.

  Wang Geng flipped through the newspaper, only looking at the headlines on the front page and related reports in the financial section. He scanned them extremely quickly, one glance covering ten lines. Kelly thought these newspapers would be enough to keep him occupied for a day or two, but by evening he had already read most of them. While reading, he also made many notes, using up more than one notebook.

  What surprised Carrie even more was that this guy not only read English and French newspapers with ease, but also several Japanese and German tabloids with great interest. The girl thought to herself that he shouldn't be reading Western Point Military Academy at all, he should go straight to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a diplomat and translator.

  Waiting in the hospital room with Wang Geng to finish the tasteless nutritious meal, a spoonful of mashed potatoes, a bowl of tomato soup, and a vegetarian sandwich that couldn't find any meat floss. Kaili looked at Wang Geng, who hadn't eaten enough since noon and was now staring at her with hungry eyes, and said apologetically

  "Grandpa is worried that it's too greasy and will put a burden on your stomach, after all, jumping down from such a high place, don't know if the digestive system was injured, so still need to observe for another day or two, can't let you eat too much!"

  Wang Gang surrendered with a wry smile, fortunately Kelly also arrived at the end of her shift. The beautiful nurse bid farewell to Wang Gang with a reluctant gaze, which made Wang Gang think of the commander's daughter from his previous life again, and his mood suddenly became much more depressed.

  After Kaili left, Wang Geng locked himself in his room and lay on the bed, continuing to ponder.

  It seems that Wilson has a good chance, at least being invited to the home of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in Washington is a sure thing. As for whether he can achieve his goal, everything still needs to be seen. As for Kung Hsiang-hsi, it's clear that the Chinese Minister to the US still has limited influence in Washington.

  A country is not strong, how can we expect diplomats to stand up straight in front of others? Moreover, the current Chinese cabinet changes faster than flipping through a book. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is replaced frequently. Although Gu Weijun had a good starting point and came from a good family, first, his father-in-law Old Tang has already stepped down, second, the old Yuan who appreciated and promoted him has passed away.

  This guy's positioning is obviously still just a professional diplomat, keeping a distance from any domestic power, such people's abilities are quite good, but their courage and ambition are far from sufficient, they can be used properly, but cannot be relied upon, Gu Weijun himself probably hasn't even thought about who to follow or what kind of path to take.

  On Wilson's side, as long as he gets on the line, Wang Geng believes he has a chance to leave a deep impression on the President of the United States. Although in normal circumstances, mainstream American politics would not take seriously someone like Wang Geng, an Asian small fry who studied at West Point, now is exactly the time when they are frantically seeking medical attention for their own ills, and he might just find some opportunity to move him to quickly push the US into war.

  As a Chinese student at West Point, I am neither a representative of any faction in the United States nor do I represent the government of China. In this way, Wilson will not think that I have ulterior motives.

  As for penicillin, the big killer, Wang Gang thought that since Eleanor's husband was the Minister of Finance, he would see if there was an opportunity to directly get in touch with Mellon or Rockefeller, any of the big financial groups in the United States would do, of course Andrew Mellon was the first choice, banks, medical research and development, steel, shipbuilding, chemical industry, all-in-one, is the largest potential financial group in the United States.

  Nature, the US financial group is a big shark and monster, and it's necessary to take preventive measures in advance to control patent rights and balance, otherwise they will be taken advantage of and won't even know what happened.

  According to Wang Kang's plan, he wants the US President and his cabinet, as well as these financial groups, to see China's enormous potential value. The population of this era in China is four times that of the United States. From either a market or resource perspective, there is no reason for the US not to attach great importance to China in its Asian strategy!

  Japan is an ally of the UK, and in many ways it has formed a competitive relationship with the US presence in the Asia-Pacific region. In fact, during World War II, only the Japanese naval and air forces were able to counter the US for a certain period of time. The US's appeasement policy towards Japan at that time was simply because they didn't want to push the "little devils" into the arms of their allies.

  The UK adopted a strategy of restriction and balance on the European continent, and the US did the same in the Asia-Pacific region. Japan was also a little brother nurtured by the UK to offset American influence. As island nations, the UK and Japan had a honeymoon-like relationship until the eve of World War II.

  The earlier collusion and connection can be traced back to the Opium War and the Eight-Power Allied Forces, who knew that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing at that time, the main force was more than 20,000 devils!

  For Wang Jing himself, he hopes to establish a good political and economic foundation in the United States before returning home. It looks like a fairy tale, but it's not impossible to achieve. At this time, China's warlords and local forces are all supported and manipulated by powerful countries behind the scenes.

  In the process of China's unification and rise, there must be a period of hiding one's light and biding one's time. In the past, Gou Jian still knew how to lie on thorns and taste gall. At that time, the Chinese people were fragmented and ignorant, so what audacity did they have to shout about driving out imperialism and all its running dogs?

  Wang Kang hoped that he would have the opportunity to become an agent of American interests in China, whether openly or secretly, as long as he could explore a way to get America to support China. In fact, the United States was the first Western power to abolish the Boxer Protocol and used the indemnity to fund modern education in China, with Tsinghua College and the Chinese Educational Mission being beneficiaries of that policy.

  Of course, Chinese laborers shed blood and sweat in the development of the American West, but indirectly also helped to improve China's education and economic development. It was only after going abroad and cutting off their queues that the pioneering Chinese people knew what the world was like!

  As long as he can get the support of the United States, Wang Gang is not worried at all that he will not be able to handle Old Du after returning home. According to Wang Gang's idea, he plans to help Old Du deceive both the little devils' loans and the American devils' investment. The Chinese expeditionary army has formed three divisions in the country, and the main play is to borrow eggs from chickens, directly targeting the 200,000 Chinese laborers who will be sent to the European battlefield in the future!

  With the wings of this butterfly, the end of the war may be advanced! At that time, 200,000 laborers will become 200,000 expeditionary forces returning home! At the Paris Peace Conference, see if Little Japan dares to argue strongly and dominate Qingdao Shandong?!

  Wang Kang got out of bed, thinking about writing an article for Gu Weijun on how to utilize the Zimmermann Telegram. He habitually patted his pocket, only to find it empty again. Damn, no cigarettes, how can I stay up all night!

  He opened the window and took a look around, the streetlights had just come on, and the yellow lights were shining dimly. Looking at the twinkling streetlights, he suddenly thought of someone, returned to his desk, scribbled a note, and stuffed it into his pocket!

  Wang Gang planned to use this note to stir up a key figure, then shift his attention to another company, and finally use the cooperation between the two to catch a big fish!

  He turned around and made the quilt on the bed into a human shape, then wrapped a windbreaker over his hospital clothes, put on a hat, turned off the lights, and crawled out of the window!
