As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, Xiao Lu picked up the book she was pointing to, flipped through it casually a few times and curled her lips: "From what I saw at the beginning, it's so boring. You should tell Isabelle "Please tell me about the skills of writing a book." "I write a serious memoir, which is different from someone like Isabella who uses her own experiences to re-create novels," Charlotte emphasized sharply. However, I have to admit that it is really not appropriate to write a memoir like a political commentary Well, if you have a chance, I'd better ask Isabella for advice. " "How about just moving to Sansou Palace?" Lin Youde. As soon as he finished speaking, Viola glared at her. Charlotte said in a joking tone: "Even if you are a goddess, I have already passed the age of safe childbirth. I may not be able to let you have your wish, Mr. Lin Youde." Lin Youde laughed and said: "Where did you think of it? , I have long passed the age of vigorous energy. I just think that you might be lonely if you stay here alone. If you come to Sansou Palace, there will be a group of old ladies who can talk to you. " "Hello," Wei. Euler pushed Lin Youde's shoulder, "At least Lidya hasn't reached the point of being called an old lady, and Isabella can't see any signs of aging yet. By the way, there's Angelita. , If she wasn't so resistant to cosmetics, she would look younger if she put on a little makeup, okay?" "I'm sorry, I was wrong." Lin Youde apologized quickly. Charlotte laughed happily. After stopping her smile, Charlotte said in a voice full of emotion: "Seeing the interaction between the two of you, I began to feel that back then, you completely abandoned the love between your children and devoted yourself to politics. I am so stupid, and now I am paying for my stupidity by living alone in a wooden house." Lin Youde looked at Charlotte's face and waited for a while to make sure that she had finished her emotion. He asked softly: "Where is the Marshall who has been stuck with you all day?" "He passed away last year. Everything was fine at first, but he was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. When ordinary people get old, their bodies are really fragile." "That's it. "I'm sorry." "It's okay. I actually always knew why Marshall never got married, but I never felt in love with Marshall, so I pretended not to know. After he suddenly left, I didn't feel heartbroken. I just feel like, ah, another old friend has left. I wish I had had more drinks with him and talked about old times. I think that feeling should be regret for the departure of an old friend, that's it. ." Lin Youde took another sip of borscht. He couldn't understand what Charlotte said. "It's the same feeling I had when Churchill left. When he was still alive, I really should have invited him to live in Sanssouci Palace for a while." "Winston will not agree to you." Charlotte said with certainty. , "Speaking of which, after Winston left, the only people who stirred up the world back then are you and me." Lin Youde thought about it, and it was indeed the case. The Lady of Steel had left early, and Winston Churchill had also left. , among those who mobilized thousands of troops to fight in Europe and North Africa, he, Lin Youde, and Charlotte in front of him were the only ones left. Then Lin Youde suddenly had a very strange feeling, so he suggested: "How about we do a war game? Recreate the feeling of when we were fighting for hegemony?" "Forget it, there is not so much that can be used here. I don't even have a world map for war games. Oh, yes, there are other things that can be used instead." Charlotte stood up, quickly left the kitchen, climbed the stairs to the study on the second floor, and rummaged around. Fan, take out a box. "Isn't this a game designed by me?" Lin Youde was happy when he saw the box. "I remember the name I gave at that time was Peak Showdown?" "Yes, it's called such a name. It's really a tasteless name. "Charlotte complained as she opened the box and unfolded the map that was transformed from the map of the current world. She also took out all the cards and chess pieces and placed them on the table. "Since you are the designer, you should remember the rules. Come on, let¡¯s play.¡± Viola couldn¡¯t help but say: ¡°What are you thinking, the two people who led World War II are playing a board game simulating World War II on the kitchen table?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think this is a very suitable ending for the novel? Scene?" Lin Youde asked half-jokingly, shuffling the game's event cards skillfully. "I wish we didn't actually lead that terrible war. It would be much better to play games, at least not so many people would die." Charlotte sighed as she said, "Back then, we were all If you decide, thousands of lives will be lost, and countless wealth will be reduced to ashes. Now think about it, I really have a strong heart to be able to make decisions without hesitation.Dirty. " Lin Youde also laughed. Suddenly he thought of a question and asked: "Speaking of which, why didn't you land in North Africa again? When I was in Tunisia, I was particularly worried that you would forcefully cross the strait and land behind me. " "I have thought about doing this, but the generals are afraid that the expensive warships will be destroyed by the invincible German air force. They must first seize the air control of the strait. The air force believes that its airports are not enough and not close enough to the strait. The army must first seize you. Drive them out in front of you and ensure more airports. The army thinks that in order to drive you away, it can only land behind you" Charlotte said, spreading her hands: "Really, it makes me want to imitate you personally. It's time to command the battle, but unlike you, I don't have such strong military capabilities. I can only listen to the generals' suggestions and choose the one that seems best. In this regard, Winston has an advantage over me. At least he has served in the army. " "Churchill," Lin Youde glanced at Viola and shook his head gently, "He may have some military qualities, but the suggestions he made made my Isabella miserable. Attacking northern Germany or something" "No one thought at that time that airplanes would have such a big effect. Even our country, which has been trying to offset the disadvantages of Shenji through aircraft, did not expect that aircraft could threaten the fleet so completely. " "When Yingzhou raided Oahu, your aviation attack completely failed. Lin Youde shrugged, "Fortunately, the Yingzhou people didn't succeed." " "Actually, even if the Yingzhou people rushed to Oahu, there would be nothing they could do. That is a fortress that our army has operated in the Pacific for many years. "Charlotte was still a little proud when she said this. This was probably because the idea of ??Fort Oahu was successfully launched with the strong support of her uncle Theodore Roosevelt. In the following decades, the United States has been strengthening Oahu. To defend the island, it is almost impossible to capture Oahu unless a direct attack is launched. ¡°Speaking of which, in my game, Hawaii is also set up to be a particularly difficult place to capture, unless it is triggered. Special event card, otherwise it is almost impossible to get it. " "Yeah, I also discovered this setting, and then I felt like, 'Oh, this game is really made by someone who has really competed with me in the world.' " Charlotte also laughed as she spoke. Lin Youde stared at that smile and was silent for a long time before he said softly: "I have never seen you smile like this before, Miss Charlotte. " "Maybe. Charlotte lowered her hand holding the event card slightly, and the expression on her face became gentle, "I sometimes think that if you came to the United States to study, I might lead a completely different life." " "Even if he goes to the United States to study, he may not meet you," Viola interrupted angrily, "He was so poor at the time, and even if he came to the United States, he could only go to a public university, Xia Lu Miss Ti, you graduated from an expensive private university, right? " "Yes, and I am not the landlord of a low-cost house. "Charlotte raised her eyebrows, dragging her cheek with one hand and looking at Viola, with an obviously malicious smile on her face, "Because I have been the eldest daughter of a rich and powerful family from the beginning. " "I, I am also the spiritual leader of the revolutionary army, and I am loved by everyone! And there¡¯s not a lot of money or anything! " Lin Youde lightly tapped Viola on the head: "Don't ignite the strange fighting spirit in a place like this. You are already a big boss. " After saying that, Lin Youde threw out an event card, and then moved the chess pieces on the map. "Wait a minute, I remember the effect of that card is yes, it is indeed like this, and then in line with the current situation" Xia Lu Di muttered while looking at the game situation on the table, and then she complained loudly, "This is simply a loophole in the rules, it can still be like this, you, the producer, are cheating! " "Using rules is part of the game. If you don't feel comfortable, don't play. Lin Youde laughed and said, "Who told you to tease my wife? As a husband, of course I have to stand up for my wife, right?" " "Hmph, he is obviously a rotten man who pushed his wife to the front line during the war. " "We all volunteered to go to the front line, you are not allowed to say that to him! "Viola patted the table gently. "Charlotte was just joking. Calm down, you look like an old man. "Lin Youde pushed Viola back to her position again. Charlotte threw away the event card in her hand: "Let's start over again. I didn't expect that there is such a way to use the rules. It's too cunning. I won't do it in the next game. I won't let you use this skill again. " "Do you want to try Germany in the next game? " Lin Youde suggested, "Maybe you will get a different kind of fun. " "Okay, give it a try. "Charlotte readily accepted. So she traveledThe play continued like this with Viola complaining and being teased, and time passed by minute by minute. In the living room, Xiaolu held Alulu in her arms and looked at the three people who were very involved in playing in the kitchen. Alulu whispered to Xiaolu: "Sister, I always feel that dad and the others are surrounded by a force field that we can't intervene in." "Well, that's right, Alulu is so smart." Xiaolu said. He rubbed Alulu's face and said, "Dad, they are using this way to reminisce about their youth." "What is youth?" "I don't know too well. Maybe when we are as old as dad and the others, When that time comes, I will understand the meaning of youth." "It will take a long time." Alulu looked a little disappointed, "I will never be able to catch up with my father." "Yes, I will never be able to catch up. Got it. But it doesn't matter, sister will always be with Alulu." Xiaolu smiled and gently stroked Alulu's head.
