American Legendary Life

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

Upon learning that Marshall was upstairs, Li Zitao and Mary stood in front of the elevator door and gave him the respect he deserved.

There were countless generals who rose during World War II, but there is only one person who can admire and respect the East and the West and the Allies.

That's right, it was the Secretary of State who shook hands with him and smiled gently and humorously, Admiral Marshall.

"This will be the last party I attended as Secretary of State. How can I miss it." Marshall's words revealed an important message.

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

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

The Truman, who was airborne on the head of the president, considered repeatedly and agreed, and held a grand farewell ceremony for him.

After the ceremony, Truman personally called him aside, holding his hand to wish him retirement, and wish him a peaceful retirement in his later years.

Who would have thought that after just 10 days, Truman called his holiday cabin, followed by Marshall's visit to the Pearl of the Far East.

After returning, Marshall was not able to sit back and continue to serve as the Secretary of State that Truman promised to assume ‘just to attend the Far East’.

This time, he had to resign. Li Zitao guessed that he would not be idle for a long time. Old Du would definitely find a way to let him go out again.

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

With Marshall, many difficult problems for them can be solved.

The Marshall Plan can be passed smoothly, so that Western Europe and even the former global hegemony can fully accept its additional conditions. It can be said that he has contributed greatly.

Even the old and stubborn Churchill, who was irritable and rude in the United Kingdom and would scold at the opponent's nose, kept respect and admiration for him.

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

Looking at the wrinkles on his face like dead wood, Li Zitao suddenly sympathized with the old man and admired his greatness.

"You can have a drink over there and meet your old friends." Li Zitao took him to the "political circle," and it was all the parliamentarians and generals who talked about the world.

"Admiral." Anyone who is a soldier sees Marshall very formally and salutes.

They don't care what position the other party is in now. In their hearts, the old man will always be the general and spiritual leader who commands and leads them.

Of course, there is still a certain gap compared to Roosevelt. During the war, this stubborn president gave no encouragement to the people and soldiers.

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

The surrounding parliamentarians also sent him greetings and took the initiative to seek a handshake.

At this time Marshall was like a superstar holding a meeting, and the others who were present were his fans, looking forward to close contact with idols.

Some people disdain this, but they won’t show up here. Li Zitao is not interested in finding a stranger to block himself.

"Uncle Charlie, do you have any gifts today?" The two little angels ran to Li Zitao and shouted for gifts.

They are Lawrence's eldest daughters, Prima Elizabeth M. Rockefeller and Bernice G. Rockefeller.

"Of course, go to your brother Aiden, he is Santa Claus today." Watching the two little girls fly away, Li Zitao turned his eyes to the corner again.

Ten-year-old Ada Rockefeller was standing there timidly, seemingly out of step with the ball, she was the youngest daughter of Avril and Lawrence.

The two older sisters in front of her were extroverted and cheerful, but the reversal occurred only when she was there.

Aiden's personality is timid and very sensitive.

Lawrence and Avril are both worried about her psychological condition, protecting her sensitive heart from harm as much as possible, and reducing her number of public events.

That is the banquet held by Li Zitao and Mary, and they are only at home, they will bring Ada, otherwise she should be happy to stay in her room and study quietly.

"Ada, come here." Li Zitao beckoned to her.

Little Ada looked at him a little helplessly, as if she wanted to find a way to rely on. After finding out that her parents were surrounded by people in the center, and she had no courage to get close, she took a small step to his side.

"Have you ever seen my little angel, Pearl?" Li Zitao asked, crouching down and staring at her.

His attitude may have worked. Ada nodded hesitantly, then shook her head quickly, murmured like a mosquito: "I have heard of her, but I haven't seen it."

"I'll take you to play with her. Believe me, she will take you to walk around every interesting corner here." Li Zitao reached out and motioned her to give her hand.

I looked up and looked at the lively ball again~www.readwn.com~ Ida decided to agree to his invitation, at least let her escape this noisy ‘world. ’

Find Pearl in the small hall next door. She is playing with a group of children, big and small, and the ground is full of toys and gifts.

"Pearl, this is Aiden Rockefeller, the youngest daughter of Uncle Lawrence, can you help me take care of her?" Li Zitao said to her daughter who was building a castle.

"Come here, I just miss a helper." Pearl was very familiar with her hand, beckoning her to help quickly.

Aida also walked forward obediently, looking for the building blocks she needed, and the two cooperated without communication.

Seeing this scene, Li Zitao left with confidence, and the atmosphere in the small hall was also active.

"Finally set up." When the last cone was placed on the castle and the lookout was completed, Pearl and Ada looked proud.

Just then, the polished leather shoes appeared above the castle.

Wow...

The entire castle collapsed as if it were torn by giants. The teenagers who had finished these ran to their companions and laughed at them.

Ada stared at the collapsed castle in front of him, his expression was dull, and then his mouth slightly pursed, and the hot mist moistened his eyes, and then cried ‘wow’.

"Why do you idiots, destroy my castle?" Pearl didn't speak so well. She came to Ada and stared at the bad boys fiercely.

"Your castle is too fragile. I just touched it gently and it broke. Maybe you should build a real castle, haha..."

Seeing the other person's unrepentant laugh, Pearl was also a little angry, looked down at him, grabbed a block and smashed at the other party.
