Chapter 1374

"Marshall, my old friend, thank you for coming in person."

Knowing Marshall arrived upstairs, Li Zitao and Mary stood in front of the elevator door and gave him the respect he deserved.

During World War II, countless generals rose, but there was only one person who could be admired and respected by both the East and the West and the allies.

Yes, it was the Secretary of state, General Marshall, who shook hands with him and had a gentle, witty smile.

"This will be my last party as secretary of state, how can I miss it?" Marshall's words revealed an important message.

"Are you retiring again?" Li Zitao didn't believe that Washington and the military would let him go.

In 45 years, shortly after the war, Marshall resigned.

Truman, who parachuted the president on his head, thought twice and agreed, and held a grand farewell ceremony for him.

At the end of the ceremony, Truman personally called him aside, held his hand and wished him a peaceful retirement career in his old age.

Who would have thought that just 10 days later, Truman's phone call would reach his vacation home, followed by Marshall's visit to the Pearl of the Far East.

After returning, Marshall did not have time to continue to serve as secretary of state, which Truman had promised to take "only to attend the Far East.".

This time, he has to resign again. Li Zitao guesses that he will not be idle for a long time. Lao Du will definitely try to get him out of the mountain again.

Now he is a living signboard, whether in Europe, the Far East or the African continent, has a strong political and military influence.

With Marshall, many of the problems that were difficult for them could be solved easily.

It can be said that he contributed a lot to the smooth passage of the Marshall Plan, which made western Europe and even the once global overlord fully accept its additional conditions.

Even the British stubborn Churchill, who was irritable, rude, and could easily point at his opponent's nose, maintained respect and admiration for him.

"I should have left a long time ago. I'm old and want to leave some time for my family." Marshall said with a smile.

Looking at the wrinkles on his face like withered wood, Li Zitao suddenly felt sympathy for the old man and admired his greatness.

"You can have a drink over there and meet old friends." Li Zitao took him to the "political circle," where members of Parliament and generals were talking.

"Admiral." All the soldiers saluted Marshall formally.

They don't care what position the other party is now. In their mind, the old man will always be the general and one of the spiritual leaders who command and lead them.

Of course, compared with Roosevelt, there is still a certain gap. During the war, the president, who was disabled and determined, gave the people and soldiers no encouragement.

"Relax, soldier. It's a time of peace." Marshall replied with a smile.

Members of Parliament around him also sent greetings to him and asked for a handshake.

At this time, Marshall is like a superstar holding a meeting, and the others are his fans, looking forward to close contact with his idol.

Some people despise this, but they won't be here. Li Zitao is not interested in finding "strangers" to block himself.

"Uncle Charlie, do you have a present today?" Two little angels ran up to Li Zitao and yelled for presents.

They were Lawrence's eldest daughters, Prima Elizabeth M. Rockefeller and Bernice g. Rockefeller.

"Of course, go to your brother Eden, who is today's Santa Claus." Looking at the two little girls running away, Li Zitao looked into the corner again.

Ten year old IDA Rockefeller, the youngest daughter of Avril and Lawrence, was standing there timidly, looking out of place with the ball.

In front of her two sisters, are outgoing and cheerful personality, only to her time had a reversal.

Eden is introverted, timid and very sensitive.

Lawrence and Avril are very worried about her psychological situation, try to protect her sensitive heart from harm, and reduce the number of times she attends public activities.

That is, the party held by Li Zitao and Mary, and it is at home that they will bring IDA. Otherwise, she should be happy to stay in her room and read quietly.

"ADA, come here." Li Zitao waved to her.

Little IDA looked around a little at a loss, as if trying to find support. After finding that her parents were surrounded by people in the center, and she didn't have the courage to approach, she took small steps to come to him.

"Have you seen my little angel, pearl?" Li Zi Tao squatted down and looked at her head up.

His attitude might have worked. IDA nodded hesitantly, then quickly shook her head, muttering in a mosquito like voice, "I've heard of her, but I haven't seen her."

"I'll take you to her and trust me, she'll show you around every interesting corner here." Li Zitao held out his hand and motioned for her hand to himself.Looking up at the party again, IDA decided to accept his invitation, at least to let her escape from the noisy "world."

Pearl was found in the next small room. She was playing with a group of children, big and small. The ground was full of toys and gifts.

"Pearl, this is Eden Rockefeller, uncle Lawrence's little daughter. Can you take care of her for me?" Li Zitao said to his daughter who was building the castle.

"Coming here, I just need a helper." Pearl, quite familiar, beckoned to her to come and help.

ADA is also very obedient to go forward, looking for the building blocks she needs, the two people so no communication cooperation.

Seeing this scene, Li Zitao left at ease, and the atmosphere in the small hall became active.

"It's done at last." When the last cone was placed on the castle and the lookout was built, pearl and Ida looked proud.

Just then, the polished shoes appeared above the castle.

Whoa

The whole castle is like being trampled by a giant and easily collapsed. The teenagers who finish this run to their companions and laugh at their schadenfreude.

Ida looked at the collapsed castle in front of her. Her expression was dull at first, then her mouth was slightly pursed, her eyes were moist with hot fog, and then she began to cry.

"Why do you want to destroy my castle, you idiots?" Pearl is not so good to talk. At this time, she comes to IDA and stares at the bad boys fiercely.

"Your castle is too fragile. I just touch it lightly and it will break. Maybe you should build a real castle, ha ha..."

Pearl was also angry at her unrepentant laughter. She looked down at her side, grabbed a block and threw it at her.
