"What identity? I am just an ordinary scholar from China!"

Zhou Tian smiled, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork head while chewing.

After all, his identity is rather special. Even though he and Fields have been on good terms these days, he still has to conceal what should be concealed.

"Hey, Zhou, you said that our two countries were originally on good terms, how come they suddenly became enemies? I really can't understand it!"

Phils opened the bottle, poured a teacup of vodka for himself and Zhou Tian respectively, then took a big sip with a very conflicted expression on his face.

In his view, as both are socialist countries, China and the Big Brother are natural allies. The five-year aid plan was originally agreed upon, but the aid was stopped before it had even started for a year or two.

Especially when they came to China, they were warned by political workers not to really teach Chinese workers technology, which really puzzled Fields, who was always straightforward and somewhat idealistic.

"Firs, you're drunk!"

Zhou Tian was startled when he heard Fields' complaint, and he warned him quickly. Then he winked at Chang Wen and the other two standing beside him, and they nodded knowingly and stepped out.

"Drunk? No, I'm not drunk yet. I just whetted my appetite. Zhou, you don't know that before we came to your country to provide assistance, those damn political workers warned us not to pass on our technology to you!"

As Fils spoke, he continued to drink from the teacup, and his tone was a little irritable.

"God knows, if we don't teach technology, then what are we doing in China? Tourism?"

Perhaps it was because of the depression in the past two years that Phils finally couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and started to chatter to Zhou Tian. While describing the situation in Big Brother's country, he kept complaining about the various operations above.

Through Fields' complaints, Zhou Tian gradually understood the real situation on Big Brother's side.

In Fields's narrative, the people of Big Brother at this time were not living as well as he had imagined. Not to mention the shortage of light industrial products in the country, even food was hard to describe.

The upper classes have already begun to show signs of hedonism, and only the lower classes are still running around and working for some bread, ham and lard.

Big Brother seems to be one of the two poles along with the bald eagle, but life for the people at the bottom is a mess.

The upper class only knew how to spend huge amounts of money to develop heavy industry and technology, but they didn't care about the lives of the people below. There were shortages of all kinds of materials everywhere.

Can you imagine that as an industrially developed big brother, people have to wait for several years to order a refrigerator?

Listening to Fields' words, if it wasn't Fields himself who said it, it would be hard for him to imagine.

"Waiting for several years for a product, is this still the big brother in his impression that is no less industrial than the bald eagle?"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but mutter in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and continued to drink with Phils.

But he had to admit that vodka was indeed a bit strong. Although he had only taken a few sips, he still couldn't help feeling a bit dizzy. However, in order to gain a deeper understanding of Big Brother's current condition, he and Phils continued to drink with gritted teeth.

"Fiers, maybe the leaders of your country have their own considerations!"

Even though Zhou Tian was confused by the various ideas of Big Brother's leadership, he still tried to persuade them.

"What a bullshit idea! Forget it. These things are out of our control. Come on, let's continue drinking!"

After venting for a while, perhaps Fields regained some of his rationality. He just cursed and then changed the subject, raising his teacup and clinking it with Zhou Tian.

After taking a few more sips, he picked up the drinker, picked up a piece of pork head and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help smacking his lips a few times.

"Zhou, do you know what I like most about your country after being in China for so long?"

"what?"

Zhou Tian asked curiously.

"It's delicious food. Although a lot of the food in your country doesn't suit my taste, there are a few kinds of food that we really like!"

Phils swallowed the pork head in his mouth and pointed at the pork head on the coffee table and said, "It's like pork head. To be honest, if we weren't so far away from your country, I might bring a lot of things back from your country!"

“There are also sauerkraut, Peking duck, and dumplings!”

"Zhou, do you know? During the Chinese New Year this year, your fertilizer factory made dumplings for us. Oh, I dare say, they were the most delicious food I have ever eaten!"

"It's much better than the sausages, barbecue and salted lard we have back home!"

As Fields spoke, he gestured as well, and at the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that we have received a telegram from China. We will return home next month at the latest. Although I don't know if you are a big shot in China, I still decided to leave a gift for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket and slowly placed it on the coffee table.

Finally, he looked at Zhou Tian deeply and said, "I don't know if you can fully understand the techniques I wrote. Maybe, but this can only be regarded as the last compensation I leave for you!"

After saying that, Phils stood up shakily.

"Goodbye, my friend. I hope we will meet again! Then I will treat you to a drink! No need to see me off!"

As he said this, he waved his hand and walked out of Zhou Tian's room while humming the Internationale.

Zhou Tian looked at Fields' back and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

But he lowered his head and looked at the notebook on the coffee table. He couldn't help but pick it up and flip through a few pages, but his expression did not show any joy. After all, in his opinion, Fields's skills were just so-so.

However, he still felt grateful for Fields's kindness. The fact that the other party thought this way showed that Fields was not a person who looked down on the Chinese like other engineers who came to support China.

that's enough.

"Firs, I believe we will see each other again!"

Zhou Tian held the notebook in his hand, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he murmured.

"Commander, everything is safe!"

After Fields left for a while, Chang Wen and the other two came back from outside and whispered.

"Okay, I understand. But you need to report today's events as soon as possible. After all, if all of these engineers from Big Brother are evacuated, we will need to clean up the mess sooner!"

Zhou Tian didn't stand up and immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Chief!"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately saluted Zhou Tian.

"Okay, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, you two go report now, Chang Wen will stay for the time being!"

"Understood, Chief!"

Xiao Yang and Xiao Liu responded, turned around and hurriedly left the expert building to report to their superiors.

Only Chang Wen looked at Zhou Tian and asked, "Chief, is there anything inconvenient to talk about?"

"Ok!"

Zhou Tian nodded and did not hide anything: "There is one thing that you need to report to me alone. Wait a minute, I will write down my thoughts first, and you should submit them to the higher-ups as soon as possible!"

Having said that, he went back to the bedroom and Chang Wen followed him in.

Zhou Tian was already sitting at his desk and writing. Soon, he handed a letter to Chang Wen and said, "These are some suggestions I gave to the higher-ups. I'm leaving them to you!"

"Yes, Chief!"
