    "Xiao Li, help me get a cold drink!!!"

    In the garden behind the presidential palace, Yan Guang was lying on a hammock between two towering trees and leisurely reading the newspaper in his hand, while shouting to the new secretary beside him.  .

    After hearing Yan Guang¡¯s needs, the newly appointed secretary quickly ran to a box nearby and took out the drinks Yan Guang needed.

    Cold drinks originated in the Shang Dynasty about 3,000 years ago. At that time, wealthy people were known to cut ice and store it in cellars in winter to prepare for the need to cool down in the coming summer.  The Zhou Dynasty also had "Ling Ren" who was in charge of "ice power".  By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, ice was used more widely.  The princes liked to drink ice-cold rice wine at banquets.  There is a description in "Songs of Chu? Zhaohun" that "the frozen glutinous rice wine is cooler when you drink it with a set of horizontal strokes". It praises the chilled glutinous rice wine, which tastes both mellow and refreshing. This shows that the level of cold drink production at that time was quite high.

    In the Tang Dynasty, ice products began to be sold openly. According to "Tang Zhayan", people in Kuai District sold ice in the market in midsummer. Passers-by were overwhelmed by the heat and everyone wanted to eat it.  Unexpectedly, the ice seller thought he had a rare commodity and deliberately raised the price of the ice. As a result, passers-by were so angry that they endured the heat and walked away. After a while, the ice melted, and the Kuai people finally made a mistake and lost their money.  In the late Tang Dynasty, merchants added sugar to ice to attract customers.

    Cold drinks developed rapidly in the Song Dynasty, and there were many types of cold drinks. Cold drink specialty stores appeared.  Yang Wanli's poem said: "On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the Imperial City, people in the city are like cooking and sweating like rain. The sound of selling ice comes across the water, but the pedestrians are not satisfied."

    "Bingtang Bingxue Bingyuanzi" was sold in ice shops in Bianjing (now Kaifeng) in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was the iced sour plum soup at that time.  It has a unique flavor.  In the Southern Song Dynasty, "Snow-soaked bean water", "Snow-soaked plum blossom wine" and so on were sold on the streets of Lin'an (now Hangzhou). Song Liu Songnian's "Ming Yue Gambling Market" and Song calligrapher's "Half Tea Pictures" also sold cold drinks.  The scene is drawn into the painting.

    After the Yuan Dynasty, cold drinks made new breakthroughs.  brought about the emergence of ice cream.  During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many delicious cold drinks appeared one after another. In "A Dream of Red Mansions" alone, there are records of sour plum soup, rose dew, osmanthus dew, herbal tea and rose brine soup.

    After entering the Republic of China, although there have been constant conflicts between the National Socialist Government and neighboring countries for more than 20 years, there have been no major wars in the densely populated central region, coupled with the progress and development in all aspects of the country.  are relatively large, so the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved.

    Although so far.  I dare not say that every household has a TV, a refrigerator, and a car like a Beetle¡ªin fact, it is impossible. After all, it is only the first half of the twentieth century, and even  Not every household in the United States in later generations had a refrigerator.

    Although refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, etc. have not yet reached the level of every household, and there are also many poor areas in remote areas.  However, cold drinks and other beverages are generally acceptable to the public.

    As for Yan Guang?  ?  ?

    Now Yan Guang is over 50 years old, but he still retains the habit of drinking only cold drinks with fruit juice, and because of the high popularity of this incident, it has even become a joke.

    In addition, although Yan Guang¡¯s personal life is relatively corrupt.  But there is also a saying that "Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding."

    ¡°Well, of course it seems a little strange to use this sentence to describe a man, but the meaning is actually the same.  Although Yan Guang actually lived a relatively relatively, or rather corrupt, private life.  However, there are still many men, women and children in China who respect Yan Guang, or look forward to it

    So.  There are actually many people like Yan Guang who drink juice instead of alcohol.  Even at some domestic dinner parties, it is not an unusual thing to only have juice instead of alcohol. This has actually benefited many soldiers who have been "alcohol tested"

    Yan Guang may or may not know this, but he has always maintained his habit of not smoking or drinking

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "Huh, it's rare to have half a day to spare"

    After taking the cold drink from Xiao Li, who could also be said to be secretary xxxx, Yan Guang secretly touched the body of secretary xxxx like a perverted uncle, and then continued to read the newspaper while drinking the cold drink.

    Yan Guang is now over fifty years old. Even so, Yan Guang's body has always been in a good condition because he does not do research and is diligent in exercise, coupled with excellent maintenance.

    Although this is the case, Yan Guang actually has a problem, that is, he is over 50 years old, but he does not even have a son and a half, let alone grandchildren.

    It¡¯s not like he hasn¡¯t worked hard. This can be seen from the fact that just the secretary queued up number xxxx.In fact, in addition to the large mansion in the Presidential Palace dedicated to his office and residence, there are several extremely gorgeous and huge buildings in the back, which are specially used to house the secretaries numbered xxxx.

    For this reason, the presidential palace has even been expanded many times. Of course, it was all from his own wallet. Anyway, he is now indeed the richest man in the world, with personal wealth ranging from second to tenth.  It¡¯s not much more than him if you add everything together, so it doesn¡¯t matter if you spend some money.

    Unfortunately¡­

    No matter how hard he tries, it¡¯s useless

    The doctor also conducted many examinations, but the result was that Yan Guang was in good health and there was no problem at all.

    As for those secretaries numbered xxxx?  It might be possible if only one or two of them have a problem, but since there are so many numbers in the queue, it's impossible for all of them to have problems

    It can be said that Yan Guang's physical condition is simply an unsolved mystery, and it is still the one that ranks first.

    In fact, after the examination, Yan Guang said half-jokingly to the people around him who were listening to the doctor's report.

    "Now you can feel relieved"

    Although the position of the president has always been changed every five years, Yan Guang's position has always been very stable. Therefore, many people in the country have been worried that Yan Guang will eventually take the path of God's rule¡ª¡ªIf he  If there are descendants.

    In fact, Yan Guang once half-jokingly said that if he had a son and a half daughter.  Even if it is just a daughter, then as a father, he will find ways to put his children in high positions, such as leaving them a throne or something. At the worst, he will establish a constitutional monarch like the British in later generations.  Only leave a throne to your children, and reduce other rights as much as possible.

    In this way, at least the life safety of your descendants can be guaranteed. After all, there are many so-called rulers in later generations. When they are alive, their authority is indeed the same for a while, but after they die

    Because of this, Yan Guang sometimes thinks like this.

    This is why Yan Guang said this when the doctor checked.  Yan Guang still felt a little resentful when he said this, because he knew that although the people around him respected and were loyal to him, they were always worried that he would go the same way as Yuan Shikai¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªAlthough in  Yuan Shikai did not become emperor in this time and space.

    Let¡¯s not mention the expressions on those people¡¯s faces at that time.  Yan Guang had some thoughts in his heart.

    "Xiang Shaolong"

    In later generations, a great god named Huang Yi once wrote a novel called "Looking for Qin". The male protagonist in it lost his fertility after traveling to the Qin Dynasty.

    Of course, that was just something in the novel, and I was just soul-pierced.  But my infertility may be related to this. After all, the doctor has conducted many examinations and proved that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my body.

    Since there is no problem with my body, my female secretaries also have no problem.  Then it can only be that a problem occurred during the time travel. What happened is at least a question that science cannot answer

    That¡¯s why.  Yan Guang gave up

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Since Yan Guang had nothing under his knees, he also had many hobbies.  For example, raising something, like raising a secretary, raising a secretary, raising a secretary, etc

    ¡°At least now, there is a Russian secretary under his hammock, singing a Russian song called ¡®Katyusha¡¯.

    Yan Guang heard this song many times in later generations. The composer of this song was Blancheer, who wrote it using a lyric poem by the poet Isakovsky.  This song was written in 1939, but it was not popular at the time and did not spread until the outbreak of the Patriotic War two years later.

    As a half-hearted military fan, Yan Guang liked Russian military songs very much in later generations, and always thought that other songs should not be mentioned, but if it is a military song, Russian military songs are definitely the best, because the Russian military songs at that time  All the songs stand out from the war.

    Like ¡®Holy War¡¯, ¡®Song of the Defender of Moscow¡¯, ¡®Steppe, Steppe¡¯ etc¡­

    Therefore, when Katyusha became popular, Yan Guang always liked to let the Russian secretary below sing for him. As for why Yan Guang didn't plagiarize the song "Farewell to a Slavic Woman" like he did in the past, and also copied it by the way.  'Katyusha' plagiarized

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? wasn't not suitable for China at that time to use a song like "Katyusha" as a military song - not to mention that it was just a civil war at the beginning.

      "Wow, it's really enjoyable"

    Yan Guang enjoyed the breeze blowing in the hammock and the Russian beauty who was singing softly beside the hammock. Yan Guang closed his eyes in enjoyment.

    For him, this kind of life is really good

    However, just when Yan Guang seemed to be about to fall asleep, a piercing air raid siren suddenly sounded in the sky.

    ¡°!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±

    The piercing siren not only stopped the Russian beauty¡¯s singing, but also made Yan Guang open his eyes.

    "What's going on? What happened???"

    With that said, Yan Guang straightened up.

    At this time, two heroic female bodyguards suddenly came over outside and said to Yan Guang.

    ¡°President, please come with us!!!¡±

    Yan Guang did not insist on staying in place like some TV dramas of later generations, and then kept asking what happened, and did not leave until the other party told him what happened.

    Instead, after getting off the hammock, he led the Russian beauty to a shelter while asking the two beautiful bodyguards.

    "What happened?"

    The people around Yan Guang have gone through heavy inspections, whether they are bodyguards or secretaries. There is absolutely no problem with their loyalty, which is why he trusts them so much.

    And after hearing Yan Guang¡¯s words, the two bodyguards said without looking back.

    "It's not clear yet, but since the alarm has sounded, it's best to go to the shelter first."

    It¡¯s not surprising. After all, the alarm has just been sounded. It would be strange if they knew about it at this time.

    Just as he was saying this, new bodyguards kept joining in on the way, and some news came in intermittently. Soon Yan Guang knew exactly what happened

    ¡°Just now news came from the Air Defense Command that a large wave of UFOs are flying towards Beijing!!!¡±

    It was not until the thirteenth bodyguard arrived that more concrete news came from her mouth.

    ¡°UFO?¡±

    Hearing this word, Yan Guang was somewhat stunned. You must know that UFO is the exclusive word of UFO, that is, flying saucer, alien and so on. Why would a UFO appear at this time?

    "Could it be that because my arrival disturbed a lot of things, aliens also appeared?"

    Although he is over fifty years old, Yan Guang's ability to think wildly has not diminished at all. At least now Yan Guang is constantly thinking wildly.

    Even in Yan Guang¡¯s mind, he recalled the plot of a later video game, Metal Slug, because aliens and other things appeared in it

    Fortunately, not long after, a bodyguard beside him continued to explain.

    "It's probably a Japanese plane, at least that's how the Air Defense Command judges it."

    "Yes, it should be a plane taking off from North Korea. I don't know how they bypassed the radar stations in Weihai and Dalian. They actually flew all the way to Tianjin before they were discovered!!!"

    When he said this, a newly arrived bodyguard said somewhat annoyed.

    If you want to be Yan Guang's bodyguard, it's not just about looks. You also need to have rich fighting skills, ordnance skills and various knowledge. At least these are all graduates of regular military academies.

    On the other side, Yan Guang also looked surprised.

    "Japanese?"

    He didn¡¯t expect that he would be Japanese.

    This is not surprising. It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t think that the Japanese would take off from North Korea to carry out air strikes on the Chinese mainland. The problem was that he didn¡¯t think that the Japanese could actually fly to Tianjin and keep flying towards Beijing. You know, in  Both Dalian and Weihai have newly deployed radar stations as warning

    ¡°Where did these Japanese come from!!!¡±

    Yan Guang was still thinking in his mind while being carried by the bodyguards to the shelter.  (To be continued)
