Greece’s Roman Road

The United States and Europe are separated by the Atlantic Ocean, and New York is an important commercial port for the commercial trade between North America and Europe.

The three of Constantine sat in a carriage, driving on a straight and wide road. There were rows of shops on both sides of the street. Through the glass windows of the shops, you could see a dazzling array of products, which were neatly displayed. On the sidewalks on both sides of the road, There is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

In the morning, it is the busiest time in a city, especially in a commercial city like New York.

The carriage stopped in front of a three-story house near Central Park in New York, which was Sanford's residence in New York.

Upon hearing the news that the three of Constantine were about to arrive, an old man with a monocle connected by a golden chain in his left eye waited in front of the apartment.

It was Sanford, the U.S. ambassador to Greece.

"Sanford, long time no see", Constantine gave Sanford a hug.

"Nice to see you again, Your Excellency," Sanford greeted.

After the greeting, several people entered Sanford's residence.

"The location of this house is really good, Mr. Sanford, next to New York's Central Park, and the appreciation can be expected." Constantine came to the rear window, with green grass, lush trees, and a beautiful view of the park. Under the eyes, fresh air blows.

"Haha, since the construction of Central Park was completed 10 years ago, I have been very optimistic about the nearby real estate. I bought two houses next to the park, and the value has appreciated very quickly recently." Sanford heard Constantine praise himself for his good vision, The old face smiled and turned into a chrysanthemum.

New York's Central Park is the first city central park in the United States.

After the end of the American Civil War, the rapid development of the economy has led to a large number of people gathering in cities. The narrower and narrower public green space and crowded buildings have exposed more and more drawbacks.

Citizens have more and more urgent needs for fresh air, sunshine and public green space.

That's exactly why Central Park came into existence.

"Then you're going to make a fortune. By the way, Sanford, what happened to the thing that was entrusted to you before?" Constantine asked.

After the establishment of the Congolese Committee, he worked **** Sanford, just to reach out to the power class in the United States through his network in the United States.

"When I returned to Washington to report on work two years ago, I met the president and asked him about his attitude on the Congo River basin issue," Sanford said.

"What was the result?" Constantine asked eagerly.

"His attitude doesn't matter anymore," Sanford replied strangely.

"How could his attitude not be important?" Constantine was confused about Sanford's answer.

"Because he was already dead, and President James Garfield was assassinated on July 2, 1881, and Chester Alan Arthur, the lucky one, became president," Sanford tutted, to President Chester The luck is very enviable.

It turned out to be the case. Constantine continued to ask: "So what is the attitude of the new president?"

"I haven't met President Chester in person yet, but there will be a banquet in New York in the next two days. I heard that this Mr. President will also be present at that time. I can introduce you to him. As for his attitude, I can't I know, but I've shared this with several MPs, and in my judgment, it's not a big deal," Sanford said.

On the evening of October 24th, the neatly dressed Constantine, together with Banning and Sanford, rode a carriage to a manor in upstate New York.

The host of today's banquet is the famous oil king - Rockefeller.

At about six o'clock, the three got off the carriage and came to today's banquet hall.

I saw that the hall was full of guests, or sat at the dining table to enjoy food, or gathered around and whispered with champagne. On the intricately patterned carpet in the middle of the hall, men and women danced to the rhythm of the music.

In the corner is a band: pianists, saxophonists, etc. are playing classic European music from the Blue Danube.

Mr. Rockefeller, who was wearing an elegant suit, stood in the most conspicuous position, saw the arrival of the three of Constantine, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Welcome to my banquet, Mr. Sanford." Of the three, he only knew Sanford.

"Thank you for your invitation, these two are Mr. Constantine and Mr. Banning." Sanford introduced Constantine and Banning to Rockefeller.

Constantine said, "Congratulations, Mr. Rockefeller, you built an oil empire."

"Strictly speaking, I'm just a shareholder in Standard Oil," Rockefeller said humbly.

After the greeting, Constantine found a corner, looked around, and asked Sanford, "Who is Mr. President?"

Although Rockefeller is the world's first billionaire super-rich, but today Constantine is not looking for him.

"I asked just now, Mr. President hasn't arrived yet, wait a moment, you can enjoy today's banquet, today's banquet is attended by some rich or noble people, Your Excellency," Sanford replied .

Constantine sat on the high-back chair with lack of interest, so what if they were rich or expensive, and they couldn't solve their own problems.

I didn't want Sanford's answer to be heard by a middle-aged lady in costume nearby, who stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Your Excellency Duke? Are you a distinguished noble gentleman from Europe?"

Looking at the woman who came to interject rashly, Constantine froze for a moment, stood up and said, "Uh, I'm probably the noble gentleman you mentioned."

Constantine couldn't figure out what the person was thinking, so he could only deal with it.

Hearing Constantine's answer, the lady circled around Constantine twice, nodding as she looked around~www.wuxiax.com~ said something in her mouth: "It's really a little different."

Constantine was stunned for a while. If it was in Europe, according to the etiquette, this lady should bow down and salute.

But then I thought, this is in the United States, where does the aristocratic etiquette come from.

"Then which country's noble are you? Is it England? Or Germany?" the lady continued to ask.

"Constantine from Greece, nice to meet you, ma'am," Constantine said helplessly, looking at this curious baby-like woman.

"I'm Chris Josh." Hearing Constantine's self-introduction, Chris realized that he hadn't introduced himself, and hurriedly replied.

"Greece, is it a European country? Where is her position?" Chris continued to ask with a frown.

Obviously, Greece's answer did not satisfy her.

Constantine felt very embarrassed, hey, the Greek country is weak, it is not ranked in Europe, and it is not well known in the world!

I heard that Americans are not good at geography, so the rumor seems to be true.

"Greece is at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula in Europe." Constantine could only answer patiently, although he felt that this person was inexplicable, but offending a lady in a public place like a banquet would make him look very ungentleman.

In Ms. Chris' heart, nobles from different countries have different status.

In a European power like Britain and Germany, the nobles are probably more noble.

All I could hear was Chris whispering, "Anyhow, he's a duke, so he should be fine."

Constantine had no choice but to look at Sanford, hoping that the local snake would come to save him.

Who knew that Sanford winked at Constantine with no intention of helping.
