Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Fortunately, the next channel town is no different from the dilapidated Chinese towns you saw along the way, otherwise Deputy Prime Minister Juncker will be extremely embarrassed.

But what should come will come after all. The train stopped briefly in Jingzhou, and everyone came down to have a look at the majestic and pure German-style Jingzhou Railway Station.Just at this time, 200 meters away from the passenger platform, a whole train of cement produced by Jingzhou Cement Plant was being loaded.Deputy Prime Minister Juncker is an industrial capitalist. He walked over curiously. After coordination with the accompanying reception officials, he opened a bag of cement and grabbed it with his hand. He was immediately shocked. God, the Chinese will also Cement is produced, and it is cement with standard European grades. How is this possible?

In Jingzhou city, buildings with more than three floors have appeared, and there are quite a few of them. Everyone didn't say anything and continued to follow the train.In Jingzhou, a group of officers and soldiers, about hundreds of them, were said to be transferred to Qiancheng to supplement the new division. It seems that the central government that Phillips said is expanding its military power, but in Guangzhou At that time, the Belgian friend told himself clearly that the war in China was over. Could it be that this warlord wants to launch a new war? This is not good. . .

In Anjiang, in the just-renamed supervisor's mansion, Wang Zhenyu is guarding Ye Ziwen's bedside. Our Miss Ye has been seriously ill since Wang Zhenyu gave Wang Zhenyu a hard blow in the military parade. She has just recovered in the past two days, but she still can't eat anything. .

"Honey, I did it a little too much this time, but you have to understand the difficulty of being a husband. You are my wife, and your words and deeds are my thoughts to outsiders. If you want I didn’t say no to building a place for summer vacation and sightseeing. I have already asked Zhenbang to deal with the payment problem. The project continues. I will arrange another group of construction workers to go. The railway is a business, so there should be no delay. "Wang Zhenyu didn't have the prestige of a tiger outside at home. He was holding a bowl of porridge at the moment, and he coaxed and tricked his wife to drink it.If Bai Chongxi and his subordinates saw this, their glasses would be shattered.

But our Miss Ye is still relentless: "If you don't practice or not, I will just not go, but the country's prestige is still young, you are punished and sent to prison, and you say you will be sentenced, how do you let others go?" Really want to? Thankfully, you are still his brother-in-law."

As soon as Wang Zhenyu heard his brother-in-law's name, his face immediately turned livid: "Why are you still talking about this matter? You think you are good to him by protecting him, and you don't even look at what Guowei is like now. The whole He’s just a big hooligan, don’t teach him a lesson, and when he grows up, he won’t go to hell, besides, do you know how bad it will be if you mobilize my guards to go to the police station to rob people this time?”

Ye Ziwen burst into tears again: "I don't care, he is my younger brother, so I won't allow others to bully him, and you can't either, I won't drink this porridge, you take it away, you just shoot us siblings , anyway, you are handsome."

After speaking, Ye Ziwen went under the quilt, and the quilt was pulled over her head immediately on one side of her body.

Wang Zhenyu panicked immediately, this grandma, he put the porridge on the bedside table, and pulled Ye Ziwen with his hands: "Okay, okay, I promise you, you can't do it, you are obedient and drink the porridge first, and I will let Wang Hu It’s okay to go and fish them out.”

Ye Ziwen quickly sat up and looked at Wang Zhenyu's face, "Are you serious? Are you lying to me?"

Wang Zhenyu quickly scooped up a spoonful of porridge: "Really, really, really, how dare I lie to you, I am a soldier who pays attention to a word of letter, alas, drink up this porridge, baby, it's all right." It's getting cold."

"Yeah..." Ye Ziwen smiled through her tears, lowered her head and drank the spoonful of porridge. . .

Wang Zhenyu opened the door with a smile and turned his back to the corridor, facing the door and said: "You can rest at ease, Jingsheng asked the nanny to report to his mother, haha, I have made a note of Guowei's affairs, and I will deal with it right away."

As soon as the door was closed, Wang Zhenyu's face immediately turned livid, and Wang Chenhao immediately stepped forward, waiting for the order without saying a word.

Wang Zhenyu gritted his teeth and said: "You let Wang Hu go and find Zhang Jingkun, the mayor of Anjiang City who just took office, and let him find a way to get this Ye Guowei out. If this kid causes trouble for me again, you should be careful and do it. It’s a false impression of the underworld abducting and trafficking people, send him to repair the railway for a month and then get him back, let him have a longer memory.”

Wang Chenhao nodded and took the order to go.Wang Zhenyu thought for a while, then went to the study and hung up a phone call to Zhao Hengti: "Brother Yiwu, I'm really sorry, you also know that there are too many things recently, how is it, how is the inspection in my small military academy?" If you are interested, just do it with me. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about our brother's friendship and your ability. A deputy chief of staff is casual. If you are interested, you can also be a military commander. Hahaha..."

On November 11th, like all the lottery players who won 5 million yuan, Wang Zhenyu welcomed the guests from the Principality of Luxembourg with great reverence, um, and the interest-free loan of 500 million pounds.Accompanying the reception was his brother Zhao Hengti. Just yesterday, after careful consideration, Zhao Hengti rejected Wang Zhenyu's invitation, and only accepted the false title and teacher-level treatment of a senior councilor. If the Duke governs Hunan again, he will follow the left and right.Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but smile bitterly at this. Tan Yankai not only supervised Hunan again, but he has supervised Hunan three times in history, strictly speaking, four times. It's just that he has been promoted for the fourth time, and he can no longer bow to the boss of Hunan.

Stepping out of the Gothic-style An Giang Railway Station, Princess Charlotte immediately fell in love with this clean and tidy city.

God, God, the Chinese still have cars.Deputy Prime Minister Juncker was so shocked that he was numb. He really couldn't imagine that in such a backward country, there would be such a city comparable to Luxembourg, and this city was not a concession, but truly belonged to the Chinese, or Said to belong to the elite, and the guard of honor who came to greet them seemed to be considered elite in Europe in terms of military posture and equipment, but I don't know how many such elites there are, and how they will perform on the battlefield?

"Are you the General Wang Zhenyu that Mr. Phillips often mentions? You look really young." Princess Charlotte greeted Wang Zhenyu very politely.

Wang Zhenyu doesn't understand the so-called Western etiquette. Out of respect for women, he didn't reach out rashly, but put his hands flat and leaned forward slightly: "Welcome distinguished guests from Luxembourg, please allow Mr. Zhang Jingkun, the mayor of our city, to To you, the most honorable Princess Charlotte, present a golden key (gold-plated) that symbolizes the friendship between the people of China and Rwanda, and grant you the title of honorary citizen."

After living most of his life, Zhang Jingkun, who had never even seen Manchuria Gege, actually saw the European princess.

This bullshit ceremony was planned by Phillips. If the German Hans or the Belgian Frankie were here, they would tell Wang Zhenyu that this is not appropriate, because you are just a head of local government, and this meeting without the authorization of the central government cannot be used officially. diplomatic etiquette.But it doesn't matter, it seems that in Chinese history, warlords have always been representatives of no rules.

Afterwards, Wang Zhenyu and Zhao Hengti accompanied the Luxembourg delegation to walk around the entire Anjiang New City, visiting the docks, factories and garden districts.Along the way, Princess Charlotte praised the sanitation and cleanliness of the city, as well as the beautiful buildings, the spacious roads, and by the way, the orderliness and humility of the residents. (When taking the tram, someone gave up his seat, but in fact it was the guard at the attendant in disguise) Princess Charlotte even asked Wang Zhenyu in a low voice through an interpreter while riding the tram: "Dear General Wang, can I live in this city in the future? "

Wang Zhenyu replied very politely: "Yes, very welcome."

But I thought in my heart that besides you, other Luxembourgers would be resettled in Liuzhou.

The last stop was the Superintendent's Office, where a grand dinner was waiting for these important guests from Europe. . .

Chapter 165 Iron Kingdom ([-])

Since Ye Ziwen is still recovering from illness, Ms. Wang Chunling, the president and editor-in-chief of Xiangxi Daily, is fully responsible for accompanying Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte. Coincidentally, both Ms. Wang Chunling and Princess Charlotte can speak German and communicate with each other. There is almost no difficulty in getting up.

After the dinner, Ms. Wang Chunling accompanied Princess Charlotte to watch a movie in the living area, which is a relatively novel thing in Europe.Zhao Songyang was ordered to bring ten guards with him. Although Anjiang, a model city, has successfully achieved zero crime through planned economy and household registration management, basic dignity is still required, and couples who plan to go to the movies tonight may be disappointed. Because Marshal Wang Zhenyu has already ordered the venue to be reserved.

"Dear Marshal, please allow me to use your subordinate's honorific title to you. I am very grateful for your kindness to the Principality of Luxembourg. I think our country needs your further help now. Of course we will not ask for unilateral Request, we hope to form a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship between each other." Deputy Prime Minister Juncker expressed his attitude to Wang Zhenyu's side very sincerely, so that everyone can get straight to the point and save a lot of unnecessary verbosity .

"Has Qing Heng come?" Wang Zhenyu asked Wang Zhenbang in a low voice, but Wang Zhenbang didn't answer, but left immediately.

"Dear Deputy Prime Minister Juncker, I appreciate your frankness and directness. I think we can omit many unnecessary steps, directly raise each other's expectations, and then see how big the gap is, and whether it is worth our time and sincerity. Focus on narrowing this gap." Wang Zhenyu also clearly stated his attitude, everyone, stop talking and talk about conditions.

Juncker nodded in satisfaction, took a folder from his deputy, and gently opened it: "The Principality of Luxembourg hopes to lease a piece of land in your country for a long time to become a temporary residence for the subjects of the Principality. Please note that we are not intending to set up a colonial settlement. , but only hope that through such a leased land, we can avoid European disputes and continue to develop the economy. Of course, we will also give enough returns for this. We intend to provide you and the area you lead with a total of 2000 million pounds without interest The loan, the loan period is ten years, I think this condition is very generous."

Wang Zhenyu didn't say a word, and he knew that this lean Luxembourg old man was deliberately lowering the price, and he didn't have to repay the loan of 2000 million pounds.It's really stingy.

Wang Zhenyu pretended to be generous and smiled at Juncker: "Dear Deputy Prime Minister Juncker, can I understand that this is just a commercial operation, you just need us to repair some houses, and then let you live, you don't have to pay rent, borrow Just give us some money to develop and it’s over.”

Junker obviously didn't hear the irony in Wang Zhenyu's words, and he said very proudly: "Oh, no, no, you misunderstood, in fact, apart from extraterritoriality, I hope this is a temporary concession, and our Duchy of Luxembourg will Retain your own military, judicial and diplomatic powers in this region. Of course, I know that the current situation in your country is very unstable, so we, the Principality of Luxembourg, will do our best to support you in maintaining your current status."

Wang Zhenyu almost laughed angrily. He gently closed the folder in front of him, and then said to the old man Junker with a smile: "Then I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking. What you need to negotiate is kindness and kindness." Selfless God, not me, a greedy Chinese general. You can rest in my city, and say nothing more."

Watching Wang Zhenyu get up suddenly to leave the venue, Junker's shrewd head finally realized that he had got all the questions wrong, and scared away the guests as soon as he asked for a price.

"No, no, dear Wang, don't go away. I told you that my motherland needs your help. It was just my personal suggestion just now. You can also make your own suggestions."

Wang Zhenyu exchanged glances with Zhao Hengti and Huang Xuchu, and cursed in his heart: "Since I'm here to ask for help, what are you doing? You think I'm the Qing government."

Wang Zhenyu sat down still with a smile on his face: "As I said just now, there is too much difference in the conditions of each other, and there is no need to talk about it. Mr. Junker, if possible, I hope you can be sincere and show your strength. Sincerity. Otherwise, it would be pointless for me to raise any conditions, wouldn’t it? Talking, I will only talk about the conditions that can impress me, Wang Zhenyu. Please understand this. Don't take offense if you are reckless."

Juncker, who has rich diplomatic experience, knew that he had encountered a difficult role, but for the sake of the future of 30 compatriots, he endured it, and then motioned sideways to his assistant to bring another folder.

"Well, Wang, in fact, the Principality of Luxembourg is very generous to friends who sincerely help us. In fact, we have a series of plans, but this must be combined with your local actual situation. But in terms of funds, we can talk first, For example, we are willing to pay ground rent to you and the local government you lead at the price of 300 million pounds per year, provided that you provide enough land for the subjects of our principality to live in. And you have to give us the raw materials we need for industrial development And guarantee, we need a lot of coal and iron... Of course, in return, we will consider helping you build a military factory, according to the current standards of the largest military factory in Luxembourg, and provide enough equipment to arm 30 troops. After all, we It’s a small country, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you for refuge. This condition is very suitable. In addition, it is our basic requirement to retain the army and the judiciary, because no one can guarantee that you will always be our friend. Self-protection is The basic attitude of being responsible to [-] Luxembourg subjects."

Wang Zhenyu listened carefully to every word the translator said, and used a pencil to write and draw in his notebook from time to time.

In this way, after Deputy Prime Minister Juncker finished speaking for a long time, Wang Zhenyu finally spoke: "Deputy Prime Minister Juncker, I must say thank you, because I really feel your sincerity, I feel this matter, it is very complicated, isn't it One or two people can finish the conversation in a day or two. So what is my opinion? Let's set a general direction first, and the specific cooperation details can be discussed with the people below me. Has this Qingheng arrived?" Wang Zhenyu's last sentence is right Wang Zhenbang said that he had already seen the fifth brother come in. . .

"This is my senior, Mr. Qing Heng. He is my uncle's chief of staff. He is very capable. My plan is like this. Bring me a map." The director of the Changde Administrative Office did not take this idle job, but was sent north by Wang Zhenyu to meet Wang Longzhong once. He had just returned to Anjiang to return to his job in the past few days, and Wang Zhenyu planned to entrust him with an important task.

The map was laid out, and Wang Zhenyu pointed to the location of Liuzhou and said, "Here, this is here. I plan to use this area as your Luxembourger's immigration settlement. Once an agreement is reached, I will use the funds you provided in advance to build here. Water and electricity facilities, drainage and sewage are all done for you, as well as railways and roads. Haha, three links and one leveling must be guaranteed. As for industrial development, in order to eliminate our mutual guard, my opinion is that we all work together, such as steel factory, we can build a steel plant with an annual output of one million tons in Liuzhou. You see, in Luzhai County to the east of Liuzhou, the iron ore content here is very high, and in the south is Laibin, where the coal mine resources It is also very rich. Looking at the transportation, as long as the railway is repaired to welcome guests, you can go to the Youjiang River and go to sea. How about it? My friend, I have considered it reasonably, right?"

Several high-ranking officials from Luxembourg exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Wang Zhenyu waved his hand to remove the map: "I just mentioned a question, keeping the army. I agree. After all, this is not at home. It is understandable to be a little defensive. But the scope of activities must be limited. In addition, the entire city is contracted out. I am not willing. I hope Liuzhou will not become a concession. In fact, I do not have the power to sign the concession treaty. So I hope you can understand my difficulties. As for the government of your country, you can As long as this city continues to exist, Liuzhou is only the central store of your country in my territory. Citizens of your country can enter the enterprises, factories and schools we set up to engage in various jobs, including our government. Can you also become civil servants? We admit Dual citizenship is enough. In addition, Europe will be peaceful and stable in the future. You are going to go home. Let’s talk about the handover issue, okay? I mean roughly these points. If you think it is still possible to talk about it, then the next step Just divide into several groups and start consultations on specific issues, and I hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible."

Juncker and several senior Luxembourg officials immediately started a tense conversation in German. It was true that time was too tight, and Juncker quickly agreed to discuss in groups.

Halfway through, Wang Zhenyu was in a good mood immediately. He turned his head and confessed to Wang Zhenbang: "Let Mr. Ye talk to them about this issue of financial assistance. If you can ask for more, you are welcome. We also took the risk. God knows that the British and French How will people react? Let Yang Wangui discuss this military issue with them, and discuss it clearly, so as not to misfire in the future. As for the issue of urban planning, let the old chief of staff (Qing Heng) and Huang Xuchu discuss it together. I consider Liuzhou In a special city in the city, you, the old chief of staff, will be the mayor. Deputy Huang Xuchu, don’t be the secretary general of the Guangxi provincial government. You are still a secretary under military control. Wait until Wang Zhixiang, the civil affairs chief, takes office Let him arrange it himself. You guys have to talk about it carefully, and let me solve all the problems that can be solved now..."

Chapter 166 The Iron Kingdom ([-])

Once the general direction is determined, the next things will be much easier to talk about.But even so, the negotiators led by Ye Zuwen and the ministers of the Principality of Luxembourg still started a fierce wrangling work, to the point of who should pay for the public toilets in Liuzhou.German, French, Chinese Hubei dialect, Guangxi dialect, and Hunan dialect sounded in the conference room in a roaring manner from time to time.

And our classmate Wang Zhenyu simply became the shopkeeper, taking Zhao Yuting and Wang Chunling to accompany Princess Charlotte on a tour of the mountains and rivers every day.

The attendants have recently transferred a company-level cadre named Guo Meng from the combat troops. This person and Wang Chenhao have both practiced in Bai Chongxi's second mountain brigade reconnaissance company before. Like Wang Chenhao, he is also a very skilled character.But unlike Wang Chenhao, this person's thoughts are somewhat extreme, tending to nationalism, and he is a staunch supporter of the theory of national socialism proposed by Wang Zhenyu.In fact, the national socialism played by Wang Zhenyu is really different from the standard socialism. What they want is not to destroy anyone, but whoever wants to destroy their own compatriots, we will destroy them.It is a bit similar to the patriotic socialism that was criticized by the Communist Party of China in history, but it is precisely this one that suits Guo Meng's taste. This young man is a typical idealist.

Although the process of wrangling was very tortuous, it was not long. In just three days, the negotiation reached something acceptable to both parties.The representatives of the two parties, who had been blushing in the past three days, could finally go back to the bathroom of the hotel to take a comfortable hot bath, and then drink a glass of red wine to celebrate.Although Anjiang Hotel does not have a bathtub, it has a wooden barrel that can automatically drain water. After washing, these Luxembourgers all praised the craftsmanship of the Chinese carpenters.And red wine is not a rare commodity. You can easily buy wine and red wine from France in high-end luxury stores in An Giang.

Let’s talk about the final agreement reached by the two parties:

First, the local government of Hunan and Guangxi is willing to accept short-term immigration applications from citizens of the Principality of Luxembourg (no dazzle, it is indeed an immigration application);

Second, the local government of Hunan and Guangxi will establish a special city of Liuzhou for the resettlement of citizens of the Principality of Luxembourg;
