Insufficient balance
Wang Gang felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, this era is too small for one person's power, today's speech at the press conference looks like a lot of bold and powerful words, but the country behind him is so weak, if the country is not strong, no matter how brave you are, you may not be truly respected by others!
On the way back to the ward, he had already made up his mind. There was no time to rest in bed anymore. Before returning to the military school, he would settle some of his own affairs first. Why not hide out in this hospital for a while? He quietly whispered a few words into Kaili's ear.
The girl listened and was taken aback at first, then a look of joy appeared on her face, and she nodded quickly.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll go talk to Grandpa and arrange for you to move to a quiet room to rest. Don't tell anyone else, just say that your body is weak and still needs to rest."
Kai Li, a nurse, has always been proud and aloof with a hint of coldness. Coincidentally, she is also beautiful as a flower. Her grandfather is the hospital director, and there are many young doctors in the hospital who pursue her, but the icy beauty just doesn't care.
This time, for some reason, after seeing Wang Gang, I was moved by his heroic deeds of sacrificing himself to save others. Then, from Mark Clark's mouth, I dug up many more of Wang Gang's heroic deeds in school, such as being a football player, shooting champion, swimming ace and so on. Now, after being close to him for half a day,
The beautiful young lady who has always been cold and proud seems to have unknowingly tied a thread of her heart to this guy.
Just now at the press conference, Wang Gang's words were so round and upright that they made Carrie, who had admired heroes and idols since she was a little girl, listen with two eyes shining brightly, wishing that Wang Gang would stay in the hospital forever.
Now listening to Wang Geng say that he hopes to rest in the hospital for a while to avoid the pursuit of external news reporters, the girl is delighted and readily agreed!
Wang Gang changed floors at noon, moving from the fourth floor's intensive care unit to the fifth floor's rehabilitation ward. If it were up to Kelly, she would have liked Wang Gang to move directly into her own home, as there were plenty of empty rooms available. However, with a lot on his mind, Wang Gang didn't dare provoke this white girl and risk starting rumors that might be difficult to deal with later. So he politely declined and continued to stay in the rehabilitation ward at New York City Central Hospital.
He thought to himself, it's still okay to say that he needs rest and observation in the hospital, but if he moves into the beautiful nurse's home, what will his West Point classmates and instructors think? Will they think that this Chinese kid has become a deserter from West Point, hiding among women and having an affair?
Cut, although I'm a graduate student at the National Defense University and don't take your 1917 West Point diploma seriously, since you've come to this era, you can't go back and tell Premier Duan that someone from the future is a high-achieving student at the National Defense University, right? In the future, when I return to China, I'll still have to make use of this West Point tiger skin!
After finishing lunch under the gentle gaze of Nurse Kelly, Wang Gang asked Kelly for help and brought all the New York newspapers that could be found recently, focusing on international and domestic news sections and financial sections. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal were not to be missed.
In 1917, radio broadcasting was still in its experimental stage, and the main source of news and information was still traditional media such as newspapers. Wang Geng wanted to carefully analyze whether this period of history in this time and space had already deviated from his previous life's history.
The tree wants to be still but the wind will not stop, news of the heroic awakening of Su woke up spread throughout New York City. Just after noon, New York Mayor John Mitchell, who had just defeated his opponent and was re-elected, came to visit Wang Gang with the dean. In fact, he arrived at the hospital yesterday afternoon with the principal of West Point, but Wang Gang was unconscious at that time.
Today, I received the news of the awakening of the heroic lifesaver early in the morning. Four years ago, he became the youngest mayor in New York's history and this year is only thirty-eight years old, handsome John Mitchell came to the hospital again, of course, accompanied by photographers and journalists who are well-informed about city government news.
The meeting took place in the spacious office of former Dean Wilson, where Nurse Carrie had apparently used her grandfather once again. After all, she had just given Wang Gang a quiet floor, but only half a day later, he was exposed to the eyes of journalists.
Mayor John Mitchell was humorous and photogenic, after a warm handshake and speech, the mayor surprisingly took out a copper medal of Honorary Citizen of New York City from a small box opened by his entourage, along with an elegantly signed certificate, smiling at Wang Gang.
"The city council had an emergency meeting this morning to discuss the proposal to award you honorary citizenship and certificate of New York, congratulations on passing unanimously! I hope this honor can witness your sincere feelings with the people of New York, your contribution to New York is far more than this medal. To be honest, if the mayoral election were held today, I might lose to you, the dark horse. Fortunately, now that you are going to run for mayor, at least you have to wait for another year!"
The media reporters who spoke in a playful tone burst into laughter, but Wang Gang only felt that the guy's name was quite familiar, yet he couldn't think of anything in his past life that would be related to him.
He took the certificate with a sheepish grin and bowed his head to let the young mayor hang the medal around his neck. The young hero held up the certificate in one hand, and shook hands with the equally young mayor, raising their clasped hands high in the air as camera flashes lit up the room, filling it with smoke from the magnesium powder.
It wasn't until they were escorting the mayor to the door that Wang Gang remembered that in his previous life, he had followed a military exchange delegation from the National Defense University to visit New York City Hall, where he saw photos and introductions of all the mayors of New York in history. What made this Mayor John Mitchell memorable was not that he was once the youngest mayor of New York, but that he died young.
The mayor, who was talkative and humorous, good at making jokes with the media, died in an accident during a parachute training session in 1918, falling from a low-flying plane cabin at an altitude of 500 feet, but the parachute did not open, resulting in his death.
Wang Gang didn't know if the butterfly effect had already occurred or would occur in the future, but looking at a guy who had just given him an honorary citizen medal and certificate, he couldn't help but want to remind him of something. In the end, as he shook hands with the mayor and said goodbye, he leaned in close and asked in a low voice, "Mayor, do you like skydiving?"
Mayor John Mitchell's eyes widened in surprise, "Wang, how did you know that? I was just about to sign up for parachute reserve training, but the work at City Hall has been too busy and I couldn't find the time!"
Wang Gang shook hands with the mayor tightly, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say in a low voice.
"Mr. Mayor, please remember my little advice, every time before parachuting, you must check if the parachute is hung in the cabin, and before jumping, remember to check if the safety belt is fixed properly, the people of New York don't want their mayor to abandon them because of such a small mistake!"
"Ah ha... Wang, it seems your sense of humor has improved quickly. Alright, thank you for your advice, I will definitely pay more attention. What you said is right, New Yorkers need me!" The mayor was taken aback at first, then regained his bright smile, patted Wang Gang's shoulder in gratitude, waved his hand, and left with a flourish, surrounded by city officials and reporters.
Wang Gang was about to leave with Kelly when the phone on the old director's desk suddenly rang, and the two of them involuntarily stopped in their tracks!
