    Wang Geng felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. The power of a person in this era is too small. His speech at the press conference today seemed to be full of heroic words, but the motherland standing behind him was so weak. The country  If you don't become strong, in front of others, no matter how brave you are, you may not be truly valued by others!

    On the way back to the ward, this guy made a decision in his heart. He didn't have time to lie down and rest. He had to settle some of his own affairs before returning to the military academy. Why not hide in the hospital first? This guy quietly bit Kelly.  He bit his ear and said a few words.

    The girl was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then she looked happy, nodded happily and said,

    "No problem, it's all on me. I'll go and tell grandpa that I'll give you a quiet room to recuperate. Don't tell anyone else about it! I'll just tell the outside world that you're weak and need to recuperate."

    Nurse Kelly has always been proud and arrogant with a hint of coldness, but she happens to be as beautiful as a flower, and her grandfather is the director. There are many young doctors in the hospital who are pursuing Miss Kelly, but the cold female nurse just doesn¡¯t call.  .

    For some reason this time, when I met Wang Geng, I was first moved by his heroic deeds of sacrificing himself to save others. Then, from Mark Clark, I found out many of Wang Geng's heroic deeds in school, such as football players, etc.  A shooting champion, a good swimmer, etc.  Now we have been together in close proximity for such a long time.

    ??The young girl who has always been cool and arrogant seems to have had her heart tied to this guy without knowing it.

    What Wang Geng said at the press conference just now was so precise and upright that Kelly, who has been worshiping heroes and idols since she was a child, even had stars in her eyes after hearing it. She wished that Wang Geng would always be there.  It¡¯s best to stay in the hospital and not leave.

    Now that I heard Wang Geng tell me that he hoped to rest in the hospital for a while to avoid being chased by reporters outside, the girl couldn't be unhappy, so she happily agreed!

    Wang Geng changed floors at noon, from the special care ward on the fourth floor to the convalescent ward on the fifth floor. If he had followed Kelly's wishes, he wished that Wang Geng would just move into his own home. Anyway, the room was empty.  There were a lot of things, and Wang Geng had a lot of things on his mind. He really didn't dare to provoke this white girl at this time. She would cause gossip and it would be difficult to deal with in the future, so he politely declined and just stayed in the sanatorium ward of New York City Central Hospital.  .

    This guy thought to himself, in the hospital it can be said that his body is weak and needs to be observed and rested. What will the classmates and instructors at West Point think when he moves to the beautiful nurse's house?  A Chinese boy became a deserter from West Point and just hid in a pile of makeup and hang out?

    Damn it, although I, a graduate student at the National Defense University, don¡¯t take your West Point diploma in 1917 seriously, but now that we have come to this era, we can¡¯t go back and tell old Duan that a certain person from the future is a top national defense student.  ?  In the future, I will have to carry this tiger skin with me when I return to China!

    After finishing lunch under Nurse Kelly's gentle eyes, Wang Geng asked Kelly for help and found all the newspapers of all sizes recently published in New York, focusing on the international and domestic news and financial sections, the New York Times and  Don¡¯t miss a single copy of the Wall Street Journal.

    In the era of 1917, wireless radio stations were still in the experimental stage, and the source of news and information mainly relied on traditional media such as newspapers. Wang Geng wanted to carefully analyze whether the history of this time and space was the same as the history of his previous life.  Deviation has occurred.

    The tree was about to calm down but the wind was still blowing. News of the rescuer's awakening spread throughout New York City. Just after noon, New York Mayor John Mitchell, who had just defeated his opponent for re-election, came to visit Wang Geng accompanied by the dean.  In fact, this guy rushed to the hospital with the principal of West Point yesterday afternoon, but Wang Geng was unconscious at the time.

    Early this morning, we received the news that the life-saving hero had revived. John Mitchell, a handsome man who became the youngest mayor in the history of New York four years ago and is only 38 years old this year, came to the hospital again. Of course, he was accompanied by  City Hall's well-informed photographers and journalists.

    The meeting took place in the spacious office of the old dean Wilson. It was obvious that Nurse Kelly had taken advantage of her grandfather again. After all, she had just moved Wang Geng to a clean floor, and it had only been half a day before she was exposed to the eyes of news reporters. How could that be okay?  .

    Mayor John Mitchell is humorous and full of camera sense. After a warm handshake and speech, the mayor actually took out a bronze medal of an honorary citizen of New York City and an autograph from the small box opened by the attach¨¦.  After receiving the exquisite certificate, he smiled and said to Wang Geng,

    "Mr. Wang, the City Council met this morning to discuss the temporary motion to grant you the honorary citizenship and certificate of New York. Congratulations on your unanimous vote! I hope this honor can witness the sincere feelings between you and the people of New York. Your contribution to New York is far beyond  This medal, to be honest, if the New York mayoral race was onOne day, I might lose to you, a dark horse.  Fortunately, if you want to run for mayor now, you have to wait at least a year!  "

    The media reporters who made wisecracks laughed loudly. Wang Geng only thought that this guy¡¯s name was familiar, but he couldn¡¯t think of anything in his previous life that could be related to him?

    The man took the certificate with an embarrassed smile and lowered his head to let the young mayor hang the medal around his neck. The young hero held the certificate in one hand and held the same young mayor's hand tightly with the other.  Raised high, the media's flashbulbs rang out, and the entire office was filled with smoke from the gases generated by burning magnesium powder.

    Before seeing the mayor off to the door, Wang Geng remembered that in his previous life, when he visited the New York City Hall with the National Defense University Military Exchange Delegation, he had seen the photos and introductions of the mayors of New York in history in the showroom. This was John Mitchell.  What impressed me most was not that he was the youngest mayor of New York, but that he died young.

    The mayor in front of him, who was jovial, humorous and good at making jokes about the media, died a year later in a training parachute accident in 1918. He fell from the cabin of an airplane at a low altitude of 500 feet without opening the parachute bag.

    Although Wang Geng didn't know whether the butterfly effect had already happened or whether it would happen in the future, he watched a guy who you liked a lot, who had just awarded you an honorary citizen medal and certificate, wandering around in front of him.  , this guy couldn't help but want to remind him something. Finally, while holding hands and saying goodbye to the mayor, this guy whispered in his ear and asked, "Mayor, do you like skydiving?"

    Mayor John Mitchell opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, "Wang, how do you know this? I am about to sign up for paratrooper reserve training, but I am too busy with work in the city hall and can't make time!"

    Wang Geng squeezed the mayor's hand tightly, hesitated for a moment, couldn't help but said softly,

    "Mayor, please remember my little advice. Before every skydive, be sure to check whether the parachute belt is hooked up in the cabin. Before jumping, remember to check whether the seat belt is in good condition. The people of New York don't want them.  The mayor abandoned them for such a small mistake!"

    "Aha Wang, it seems that your humor level has improved very quickly. Well, thank you for your advice. I will pay more attention to it. You are right, the people of New York need me!" The mayor was stunned after hearing this.  , then resumed his hearty smile, smiled and patted Wang Geng's shoulder to express his gratitude, waved his hand, and left gracefully surrounded by city government attach¨¦s and reporters.

    Just as Wang Geng was about to leave with Kelly, the phone on the old dean¡¯s desk rang, and the two of them couldn¡¯t help but stop!
