Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Knowing that the emperor's brothers and sisters are going to travel, not only the imperial guards in the entire Forbidden City are busy, but even the commander of the Beijing Garrison and the chief of the police department are alarmed. Not to mention the police who maintain the nearby traffic and the intelligence agents who protect the area overtly and covertly.After tossing back and forth for two hours, Zaifeng finally received a report from the Imperial Security Bureau that everything was ready and the emperor could drive.

When getting into the car, Guan Xu had no expression other than a wry smile.Dozens of police cars opened the way in front, and there were more than 30 small cars accompanying them. In front of and behind the convoy, there were [-] fully armed soldiers each with two machine guns mounted on the front of the convoy. military vehicle.What's even more exaggerated is that five tanks were arranged on each side of the convoy.The rigid commander of the Beijing Garrison even ordered to clear Xiangshan Mountain and drive all the tourists down the mountain to prevent foreign spies from mixing in the crowd and posing a threat to the emperor.Fortunately, Zaifeng has repeatedly stated that the emperor's tour this time is just to relax, to see the beautiful scenery of Xiangshan Mountain, and to clear his mind. If all the tourists are cleared down the mountain, he will lose a chance to communicate with the common people, and he will not be able to hear the common people's comments. In view of the political situation, it took a lot of effort to finally stop the commander's actions.

The emperor Luanjia came to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. However, the people were a little bit puzzled. It was said that there was a pile of porridge in India, and the emperor still had the leisure to go to Xiangshan to enjoy the red leaves?

There were a few passers-by who had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance. Those who got out of the car door turned out to be the emperor's brothers, including the young and promising Zaifeng who rarely showed his face in public and was admired by the common people.Of course, Zai Ying, who often caused a little scandal and was very well-known in the empire, was also indispensable.Only then did the crowd of onlookers know why the police and the regular army were so close to the enemy. It turned out that the emperor and his brothers had come out to visit Xiangshan.When the news came out, the whole city of Beijing was in a commotion. Many people put down their livelihoods and rushed to Xiangshan one after another by car or on foot, just to see these few people who almost controlled the fate of the entire Asia. The imperial boss who has the supreme status in the eyes of the common people.Several major newspapers moved upon hearing the news, and a large number of reporters rushed to Xiangshan as quickly as possible.Not only that, those foreign diplomats and secret agents with special missions staying in Beijing also tried their best to squeeze into Xiangshan. They wanted to know that when the war situation was so tense, they came to Xiangshan collectively.What the hell is it for.Of course, even if they broke their heads, they couldn't imagine that the trip this time by the emperor and the others was purely for relaxation, nothing more than to see the red leaves in Xiangshan.

Zaiying raised her head, looked at Fragrant Hills, which was full of red, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's the wrong time to see red leaves. We even forgot that the best time to see red leaves is already passed. Look at it." Almost half of the leaves on the mountain have fallen."

Guan Xuqing stared at the flaming mountain in ecstasy, and it took a while to recall: "Yes, although I missed the best viewing season, I am quite satisfied. I can see such a beautiful scenery, and I have no regrets on this trip. .”

Seeing more and more people watching, Zhao Bingjun looked as if he was facing an enemy, and immediately asked the emperor to move, and under the protection of agents and guards, he quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain.

On the mountainside, a place dedicated to resting for tourists has been cordoned off, tables and chairs have been set up, some Beijing snacks and a tea set are placed on the table, and there is a tea pot next to it, which contains the emperor's favorite tea. Drink Lu'an Guapian.While fiddling with the tea set enthusiastically, Guan Xuqing yelled loudly: "Everyone is out to relax today. We only talk about family affairs, not state affairs. If anyone talks about state affairs, he will be punished as a host and take food from home. "Looking at his movements, he is very skillful, such as Guan Gong patrolling the city, Han Xin ordering troops, one set of one set, and he has a lot of research on Kung Fu tea.

For a moment, the brothers couldn't think of a topic to talk about, they could only sit there stupidly, you looked at me, and I looked at you.Apart from war and state affairs, the brothers really have nothing to talk about.Household affairs are almost all handed over to the wives and concubines of each family. They are so focused on state affairs that they don't care about family affairs.

Zaifeng smiled wryly. He can guarantee that this family gathering will turn into a miniature military and political meeting in a short time.The punishment proposed by the emperor is too small. Except for the emperor, the brothers all have a considerable share in the Far East joint-stock company. In general, all of them are billionaires. This kind of punishment is nothing to them. , Let alone one dong, even 360 five days a year, three times a day, they will not frown.

As Zai Feng expected, after holding back for a while, Zai Xun finally couldn't sit still.He drank the tea in one gulp, and yelled at Zaifeng: "Fifth brother, even if you punished me ten times today, I will admit it, and if I sit down like this, I will definitely get sick .”

Guan Xuqing smiled bitterly: "I knew that you must be the first one to mess with me. Well, since you don't care about being punished as a host, you are idle anyway, so tell me.

Zai Xun laughed, stood up, poured a cup of tea for the emperor, and whispered in his ear: "Emperor brother, when you punish me for doing things in the future, please be merciful and don't light expensive Just the food." After speaking, he made a face at Zaifeng who couldn't laugh or cry, and then sat down in his seat.Being in a high position, but being able to make funny faces here generously, Zai Xun is probably the only one who can be searched all over the world.

Taking another sip of tea, Zai Xun said: "Since the emperor agrees, we don't have to be restrained. I have been thinking about some things for a while. Everyone knows that the Air Force is a new military branch. Many practices of the Air Force are There is no precedent to follow, and they are still in the groping stage. After fighting for a period of time, we found that what the Air Force lacks is not high-performance aircraft, nor airports or complete logistical support. What we lack most is excellent Pilots. Originally in World War II, we could not train pilots on a large scale in order to keep secrets. After the war began, because the Navy desperately needed a large number of carrier-based pilots, all the best pilots of our Air Force were poached by them, resulting in Air Force pilots The quality of the air force is generally not high. At present, the opponents we face are not strong, and the air force can still maintain a certain advantage for the time being. However, the air forces of various countries are developing extremely rapidly, especially the Soviet Union and the United States, which have even reached the level of "whatever it takes" , how long our advantage can be maintained is still a question. * As a last resort, I can only take this opportunity to play Feng Ru to the emperor and transfer the best pilots in the naval aviation back as instructors. Especially the 'Sirius' II After the "Sirius" model enters service, the requirements for the pilots are even higher. In the past, those who trained for a year and a half can go to the sky to fight, but now it is not possible. The pilots who have trained for a year still cannot guarantee that they can fly the "Sirius" II type freely. Now, there are a lot of people signing up for the Air Force, but it is not so easy to choose the right ones. Therefore, my younger brother boldly told the emperor to set aside a special sum of money for training pilots. Increase the research and development of the equipment needed to train pilots. I know that scientists in our country now have a lot of research results, but they have been shelved because they are temporarily unusable. Many of them are specially used for training pilots. Fifth brother, You, a big butler, have a lot of money in your hands, you just pick a little bit out of your fingers, as long as you get a little bit out, it will be enough for our air force to use for a while."

Zaifeng glanced at the emperor, Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile, and signaled for him to answer, Zaifeng shook his head and said to Zaixun: "It's not that I don't want to withdraw money, it's a war period, and there are many places to use money. There is some money, but now that the war has progressed to this point, the people's daily necessities are kept as low as possible to ensure the production and storage of strategic materials. The reason why the empire dare not release a lot of money is just in case. In addition, the country is so big that there is no need to spend money. In the past, the empire had less money, but now there is more money, but the standards of construction in various places have also been greatly improved. Don’t forget that the compulsory education and universal medical care we will implement in the future will cost tens of billions. big project."

Guan Xuqing nodded: "Sixth brother is right. Although the empire can be called the number one in the world in some aspects, it is not really invincible in the world. If we want to maintain the advantage forever, we must train Work hard on weapons and equipment. I am also thinking about these issues recently. In the past, we have been focusing on wars and neglected other aspects of the world. Sixth brother, don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to give him the money the Air Force wants It is only a matter of time to get it. We can still maintain our advantages in weapons and equipment and soldier training, and there should be no major problems if it takes a while."

The seventh younger brother Zai Tao smiled slightly and said: "Brother Emperor, I think that the military expenditure we have reserved is enough. If some of it is taken out of the military expenditure, it can be considered. However, several major military forces have a bowl of water. , I gave some money to the Air Force, but I’m sorry not to give it to the Navy and Army, as well as the Armored Forces, Artillery Forces, Missile Forces, and Special Forces. .”

Zai Xun said with a smile: "Second brother, among our brothers, there is one who is particularly interested in making money. I think he must have his own plans. Don't look at the shrimps in the fishing pond where he stays at home all day. I guess My whole mind is thinking about how to make money."

"Oh, seventh brother, you mean Zaiying. I know he has such abilities, but now it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. Even if he has great abilities, there is nothing he can do. You must not let him steal money." Zaize said with a smile.

Wind and Thunder Agitate Three Thousand Miles 7 Chapter [-] Strategic Adjustment of the Navy

Zai Ying laughed loudly: "Brother, you underestimate me too much. When it comes to housekeeping, how to make things leak-proof, how to spend money and save money, I can't compare with you, but when it comes to making money, Big Brother doesn't care. You can’t keep up with me by plane.”

Zaifeng smiled and said, "So, you really made money from fishing?" Several other people also pricked up their ears.If there is really a way to make a lot of money, it will be too important for all arms.That means more weapons and more well-trained soldiers.Ever since the pensions for the dead soldiers and the subsidies for the disabled soldiers were increased, the money in the pockets of the Imperial Army has become less and less, especially when the war has reached this level, the required military expenditure is simply a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is enough to fill it up Go in, and the emperor doesn't want to burden the common people too much.However, Guan Xuqing did not regret it at all. These pensions and subsidies were well used, which strengthened the morale of the soldiers of the empire, and also provided a certain material guarantee for the loyalty of the soldiers. These may not be exchanged for how much money they spend. Got it.

Zai Ying drank tea slowly, but at this time, he was in a hurry, until Zai Ze was so angry that he wanted to lift his neck, then he said with a smile: "Brother Emperor, brothers, you should know that this time There were as many as six or seven countries involved in the war, but there was only one main battlefield, which was India. Including the two world wars, the main battlefields were all in Eurasia, and other continents were basically not affected by the war, for example, Africa and South Africa. America. These places used to be the spheres of influence of the major Western powers. After defeating India, they will have it, no, I think we should strike while the iron is hot, and insert our influence deeply into other continents."

Zai Ze said disappointedly: "Brother, if you said it, you didn't say it. In Africa, the great powers are piled up. If you beat them all down, don't even think about gaining a foothold there, but war is not Just kidding, we can’t fight battles that we’re not sure about. As for South America, it’s not so easy to deal with. Although the power of Spain and Portugal is gradually weakening, the United States has gradually taken the lead there. Nor is it a paradise for us Chinese."

Zaiying laughed: "We don't need to think about Africa for the time being, but South America is different. Before the end of World War II, I didn't think of this, but now the situation is different. With the growth of the imperial navy, the Central Pacific is basically Already under our control, the Americans are huddled on the west coast, worried every day, for fear that we will come to trouble them one day. As for Spain and Portugal, they used to be big countries in the world, but now they can only carry shoes for the big countries in the world. It's insignificant. Everyone should know that when we played against the Americans, didn't we get some mines from them?"

"I don't know if you have noticed that the mines we obtained at that time were basically in Brazil and Argentina. The fifth brother had anticipated the current situation at that time, and the personnel sent there included a large number of security guards in addition to management personnel. , they were all converted from the regular army. During this period of time, we have done quite well there, and the relationship with the local government has been quite good. We not only hired a large number of local people, but also brought vitality to the local economy. And they invested a huge amount of money there. Looking back, the Americans completely regard it as a supply base of raw materials, only thinking about making money, without considering the local conditions at all, but we are different, we invest all the money we earn It entered and gradually opened up the market there. Now, the Americans cannot protect themselves, and they simply don’t have the energy to take care of South America. I don’t want to look at the Americans in peace. They also want to save face and have certain ambitions. They were bullied by Spain and Portugal before, and then they were bullied by the Americans. Finally, they met a world power that did not bully them. They welcome It’s too late. There are hundreds of millions of people there, and the agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry are well developed, but the industrial level is not high, the demand for industrial products is huge, and the common people still have a certain amount of money, so it is a very ideal market. Of course , in order to achieve the purpose of making money, we still need the strong assistance of the Navy." Zai Ying said to the brothers.

Guan Xuqing nodded: "Let's talk, there are no outsiders today, everyone can talk freely, what should our navy do?"

Zaiying laughed and said, "Some time ago, my elder brother and I had some discussions on this matter. Although the military power of Brazil and Argentina is not strong, they have a large land area and a large population. It has a certain ability to fight against the United States. After all, the Americans do not have much time to operate South America, and the control over these two countries is not very strong. The younger brother thinks that as long as the imperial navy uses the ports on the Philippine Islands, from time to time, it will rush to two miles away from the west coast of the United States. [-] kilometers away, and put on the appearance of fighting a big battle, exerting continuous pressure on the Americans, forcing the Americans not to move their navy to the south to threaten Brazil and Argentina, the Ministry of Commerce can organize a huge Caravans traveled to these two countries and shipped them large quantities of goods."

Zai Tao thought about it, and felt that Zai Ying's method was inappropriate, so he said: "There is no place in the Philippine Islands that can park such a huge fleet. At most, it can only be used as a transfer station to provide supplies. The help of the Hawaiian Air Force may not be able to defeat the Americans."

Zaiying nodded: "Yes, this danger does exist, but you have to take a little risk in everything. You can't just sit comfortably at home and the money will come from the sky naturally. Of course, I personally think , this risk does not seem to be very great. There are not many strong generals in the US Navy, and most of them are cautious. Due to a psychological disadvantage, when seeing a Chinese aircraft carrier, our legs will naturally become weak. Of course, if the Americans really want to fight recklessly, we are not polite. Even if we lose a few times, it doesn’t matter, we can hold on Hold on, as long as we show the prestige of our Chinese. The Indian war has just ended, but the British and French counterattacks must be prevented. Therefore, for a period of time, the focus of the navy will be on the Indian Ocean. There are new warships, and priority should be drawn to the Indian Ocean. On the other hand, in the Pacific Ocean, we can only use our current strength to find ways to hold back the Americans, and stab them again if we have the opportunity. In addition, we used to be a little contemptuous of the navies of the world, thinking that with our much more advanced weapons and equipment, It is enough to run wild on the sea, but now it seems that we are a bit too optimistic. The equipment department has long been trying to solve this problem. Scientific researchers are working on a new type of aircraft carrier, and now the major shipyards are fully engaged. The speed of construction is getting faster and faster. Once a new type of aircraft carrier is formed, it will be ready to serve in a few months. Now, the development and production of warships are completely centered around the aircraft carrier. The number of cruisers will not increase on a large scale, but destroyers and The number of frigates that can effectively cooperate with aircraft carriers will be increased on a large scale. According to the current production rate, it is quite normal to launch more than a dozen destroyers and frigates a month."

Everyone agrees with Zai Ying's opinion very much. Zai Xun added: "Brother Emperor, I think that the current navy of the empire is developing very rapidly, and its strength is not what it used to be. According to the current development situation, the strategic layout should be adjusted. , The younger brother thought that the Beiyang Fleet should be renamed the Pacific Fleet, guarding the East China Sea of ​​the Empire, the waters around the Japanese islands and even extending eastward to the Hawaiian Islands and Guam, the Singapore Fleet should be renamed the Indian Ocean Fleet, to control the southern seas of the Empire and the Indian Ocean, and the Nanyang Fleet It merged with the Sikhonuk Fleet, the Taiwan Fleet, and the Fujian Fleet to form the Atlantic Fleet and expanded its sea area westward. After the formation of the three fleets, the hierarchy of the Imperial Navy became clearer and its strategic development became more powerful.”

"Okay!" Guan Xuqing clapped his palms and laughed: "Sixth brother is right, I'm sure, tomorrow only the Ministry of the Navy will start working on this matter. This kind of strategic layout is very good. The three fleets of the empire are like tridents. into every corner of the world."

Everyone sighed and praised again, and Zai Tao said: "Since the start of the war, the scale of industrial products in India and other countries has shrunk, and loans for many things have been cut off. I have also asked some large domestic companies about this question, and asked them However, the strange thing is that none of these companies are willing to go to the South Asian subcontinent to expand the market. The reason is the same as what Zai Ying said just now, and the danger is too great. I have been thinking for the past few days whether it is Qiao Zhiyong who will start the business first. If we go there to conquer the country, if we succeed, other companies will naturally follow suit; if we fail, the Qiao Group’s industry is so big that it can withstand the toss, so it won’t have a great impact on the empire.”

Guan Xuqing doesn't care who goes to South America to open up the market. They are more concerned about getting raw materials from India, which means that a lot of money will be put into the pockets of the Chinese.Those who are pioneers are in the greatest danger, but once they succeed, they will also benefit the most. Guan Xuqing knew this, but he didn’t say anything. He just collected his energy and described the prospect of opening up the Indian market: “Now the international flow of goods is restricted. , although the empire's economy is relatively strong, the international influence of our dragon coin is not as great as imagined. A sudden attack by financial predators."

Wind and Thunder Agitated Three Thousand Miles 7 Chapter [-] Empire Expansion Plan

Guan Xuqing said: "Indians still have some doubts about our Dragon Coins. They are more inclined to pay for goods, which means that the transactions are generally very large. For the early development of India, we can first use the domestic surplus Some products are shipped there, and they are exchanged for our urgently needed strategic materials. If you hurry up, it is estimated that you can go back and forth in two months, and the profit is still very large. The Ministry of Economics and Trade has calculated that the money earned is not counted. The tax collected by the state from it can reach about 1000 million dragon coins in one trip. Moreover, the money earned from it can be loaned to the military at low interest rates, or even without interest. In this way. The military More than 3000 million yuan of dragon coins can be obtained from each trip. After one year, the amount is astonishing. All these money are used to pay for war expenses, especially those expenses that pop up inadvertently, such as the training expenses proposed by various military branches Require."

Everyone agrees with this. They don’t think there is anything wrong with spending more than 1 million dragon coins from the pockets of the Ministry of Economics and Trade every year to lend to the military without interest. Anyway, they all come from India. It has increased a lot, which is really important to the military department.After returning to the capital from Xiangshan this time, Feng Xianghua and the others had to treat whatever they wanted.

Guan Xuqing said: "You guys, you only think about political and military affairs all day long, and you really don't understand the economy a little bit. What I just said is just a superficial figure. China's actual income will be far away. After these, think about it, everyone, after the raw materials are shipped back from India, we have to process and sell them. There are many links in between, and each link can generate profits, and the country can extract taxes from each link. Yes, a considerable part of the income will fall into the hands of the people. If they use the money for consumption, it will be a huge boost to the economy. It can be said that this battle is absolutely worth the money , the benefits we get from it will definitely be more than [-] million dragon coins a year. India has always adopted a conservative trade policy in the past, relying too much on Britain and France. In the future, we will break this situation and turn India into a free trade zone of the empire. More importantly, when companies from other economically powerful countries came to India after the war, they would definitely find that they had lost their foothold, and the people there had become accustomed to using our Chinese products. The income of two to three billion dragon coins can be explained."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zai Ze said: "Your Majesty, you have been refusing to take advantage of the common people. I think this rule should be changed. Last year, the empire's gross national product was 250 billion dragon coins, and its fiscal revenue was 50 billion dragon coins, but the military expenditure is only 5000 million dragon coins, accounting for only 15% of the gross national product. This is a normal ratio in peacetime, but now the empire has fought a war in India, It may be expanded in the future, and it is a bit unreasonable to maintain such a ratio. I think that if the military expenditure is increased to [-]%, there will be a full [-] billion dragon coins, although there is still a long way from the military's needs. But at least it is much stronger than it is now. The military expenditure of the Western powers now accounts for about [-]% of the national economy. The slogan of "cannonballs, not butter", and our ratio is only about one-tenth of theirs, which is too pitiful. Also, our tax policy has been implemented for more than ten years. From the perspective of tax rates, it is simply low It is pitiful, only about half of the Western powers, and I personally think that it is time to change the tax policy."

Guan Xuqing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The tax policy cannot be changed. It is precisely because of the stability of the tax policy that ordinary people dare to boldly invest in various industries so that they can live and work with peace of mind. They cannot be changed at will just because of the war. Everyone must understand the importance of war. The purpose of war is that we cannot fight for the sake of war. What is the difference between that and Hitler? The purpose of our war is to strengthen the national power and improve the quality of life of the people. Another point is that if the tax policy is changed during the war, it will give the people a bad It is a good idea, thinking that the country can no longer support it, so it will find a way to increase taxation. This will be a major blow to the confidence of the people, and once the tax rate is increased, it will not be so easy to lower it. It’s hard to live a tight life. At best, you can issue war bonds like before, turning war into a national investment. It’s what my brother said, increase military spending to Six percent can be done. We have 50 billion dragon coins in financial revenue, of which military expenditures only account for 25 billion, education accounts for 5000 billion, and scientific research expenses account for 5000 billion. About half of the income. The remaining [-] billion, the salaries and office expenses of civil and military officials from all over the country, cost about [-] million dragon coins. [-] million dragon coins were used to build various infrastructures across the country, and about [-] million dragon coins were spent on the Korean peninsula. In addition to other budgets, the money that can be freely controlled is only about [-] million dragon coins. For Malays alone The construction of the Asian Peninsula, the Andaman Islands, the Nicobar Islands and other places has drawn about [-] million dragon coins, and the remaining money is not enough for several military services. However, don’t worry everyone, the empire can be suspended in the The investment in Taiwan and the Korean peninsula, and the one billion dragon coins saved are all used in the war, which should be enough."

Guan Xuqing thought for a while, and then said: "India's defeat requires compensation. The military has come up with a plan to make India pay 5 million dragon coins. I think it's not too much but too little. Don't look at Nehru's ambition, but India is not yet an economically rich country, and it is difficult to come up with so much money at once, so I decided to convert the compensation into resources. India is a country with a lot of resources, and its bauxite reserves and coal production rank fifth in the world. Mica exports account for 60.00% of the world's exports. According to the preliminary statistics of the empire, they have 463 billion tons of coal, 97 billion tons of iron ore, 22 billion tons of bauxite, 1 million tons of chromite, and There are abundant manganese ore, zinc, copper, lead, limestone, timber, and cotton. For the empire, India should not only become a trade transfer station, but also an energy supply place for the empire. At present, the Indian army The remnants of the southern province of India are being wiped out. When the situation stabilizes, the geological survey team will be sent to conduct exploration and excavation, and people from the imperial business community will be sent to investigate and invest. The policy for India is different from that of Japan. I don’t want to let it This country perishes, but Indians’ hatred of Chinese will still exist after the war, so I want to split India into several states and adopt a strategy of divide and rule, so that Indians will not be able to form a fist against the empire. In addition, the empire The investment and construction of India will also drive the development of India's economy, and the living standards of Indians have improved, and they have no worries about food and clothing, and the sentiment of resistance will gradually fade."

Zai Tao said: "The overall situation in South Asia has been decided, and I thought that the strategic situation in the north and the west should also be considered. At present, the empire is based on three places: the Aral Sea, the Turgai Plateau, and the Ustyurt Plateau. Several lines of defense are connected to each other. At the same time, heavy troops are stationed in the Turgai Valley, firmly guarding the best road from Europe to Asia. I have an idea, and I don’t know if it is feasible. After all, I am not a military expert. I can only make suggestions. Let the Northwest Military Region send some troops to cross the Karakum Desert, occupy Ashgabat, and use this as a base to enter the Iranian plateau. Iran is now divided into three parts by the powers, and the north is controlled by Spain. The south is controlled by the United Kingdom, and the central part is the buffer zone between the two sides. It is nominally controlled by the Iranian King Bazawi, but in fact it is under the dual control of the British and Spanish bandits. No matter who it is, they don’t want their country to be controlled by several A bandit is cut alive into thirds and becomes someone else's colony, Shah Bazavi of Iran is no exception. I want to send diplomats to sneak into Iran and have a good talk with King Bazavi once we get the Spanish and British out After the Iranian Plateau, we can let Bazavi control the entire Iranian Plateau and restore the glory of the Kingdom of Iran. There are only two conditions in exchange, one is to join the Greater China Federation; the other is that we obtain the right to exploit oil in Iran. These two It is estimated that King Bazavi will agree to it without even thinking about it. Now that there is no oil in Iran, and the control of the country is exchanged for nothing, Bazavi will be crazy about it, maybe he will Think of us Chinese as fools. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Bazawi, we have to open up to the Bazawi lions during the negotiation and ask for their existing mining rights. As for the oil mining rights, we have to try our best. For concealed acquisition, it is best to have *Bazavi sign a treaty, stipulating that all oil exploration rights and management rights in its territory shall be handed over to the Chinese government, and even the Iranian government shall not interfere. Only with the treaty in hand can we rest assured. "

Zai Tao paused and said: "After getting in touch with King Bazawi, we can march forward with confidence. The Iranian plateau has steep roads and complicated terrain. If there is no help from locals who are familiar with the terrain, we want to defeat them smoothly there." It is not an easy task for the Spaniards and the British. Decades ago, the British obtained Georgia from the Iranians and used it as a base to gradually infiltrate the Iranian plateau, eventually controlling nearly half of Iran. However, After the Turan Plain fell into our Chinese hands, and the Caspian Sea lowlands were also controlled by us, the British troops stationed in Georgia and northern Iran basically lost contact with the mainland, and were poorly equipped, small in number, and low in morale. They should not be ours Opponent. After controlling northern Iran, it is relatively easier to unite the troops of King Bazawi of Iran to attack the British in the south.

Three thousand miles of wind and thunder

Zai Tao went on to say: "Spain is not as good as Britain. They have a small number of elite troops. It is impossible to send too many to Iran, and they cannot stop us. With the Iranian plateau in hand, not only can they indirectly control the Arabian Peninsula. If everything goes well If things go well, I estimate that the Iranian plateau can be obtained within three months and handed over to the Iranians for their own defense. Our troops can withdraw from the Iranian plateau and join the defense of the southern part of the Turgai plateau. Maybe we can also bring some Iranian troops to join our combat ranks. The more cannon fodder, the better, it is always good for us. This is my brother's Middle East strategy."

Zaifeng suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Brother Emperor, we are almost ready for the Beijing Olympics. The Indian war has been delayed. Now my brother wants to play, can we still watch the Olympics?"

As soon as the Olympic Games was mentioned, Guan Xuqing regained his energy immediately, and said loudly: "Do it, why not? Didn't India hold the Commonwealth Games before the war? This time for the Olympic Games, not only will there be a gymnasium in China, but also a sports hall in the country." India set up a branch venue in... Delhi, the capital of India, and then ordered people to start construction immediately, striving to hold the Olympic Games next summer."

"Okay, after I go back, my brother will start to deal with this matter immediately."

Zaiying found it new, so she asked, "What's the matter with the Olympics? Could it be possible to make a lot of money?"

Zaifeng replied with a smile: "You, you are all thinking about making money, and you don't even know about the Olympics. The Olympics is an international sports meeting that includes a variety of sports hosted by the International Olympic Committee. It is held every four years. The earliest origin In ancient Greece, it got its name because it was held in Olympia. It is hard to say whether it can make money, but many countries use this kind of sports event to achieve their own ulterior purposes. Since the first Olympic Games, although all countries have responded , but once it was their turn, they all excused that they had no money to build venues. Therefore, due to the lack of funds of the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic Games was just a show. Friendly countries took this opportunity to communicate. Strengthen Unity, but the athletes of hostile countries are full of gunpowder on the field. After a sports meeting, hostile countries often become more hostile. Therefore, France withdrew from the Olympic Games. Then Italy refused to hold it in Rome because of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions The Olympics. Germany even directly prevaricates with financial difficulties, and only Britain finally agreed to hold the Olympics in London, but after the Indian war, the British have no intention to undertake it, and the Olympic Committee has no choice but to ask China to host it again and again.”

Zaiying nodded and said, "I thought it was some kind of fun. It turned out to be a political game played to ease conflicts. What's the point of not being able to make money. We don't even need to join it. Now we still need to spend money to host the Olympics?"

Zaifeng pointed at Zaiying with a smile and said, "What do you know? The empire's national power is booming and its international influence is increasing day by day. We should hold the Olympics to promote the empire's culture and demonstrate the empire's national strength! Let me tell you that it is not so easy to bid for the Olympics. It was originally planned to be held in Berlin, Germany. However, the domestic economic situation in Germany is very bad. Of course, it is not interested in hosting the Olympic Games. The chairman of the Olympic Committee died suddenly and announced that he would give up the right to host the event. Unexpectedly, Sweden made a request to the International Olympic Committee, hoping to host the Olympic Games on its own land. The International Olympic Committee believes that Sweden’s political situation is unstable and it is unable to host this event , In the end, nothing happened, so it was the turn of the United Kingdom. As you can imagine, it was stillborn. The International Olympic Committee felt guilty for not inviting the Empire to host the Olympics last time. At the same time, they are very aware of the current national strength of the Empire It is powerful, politically stable, and occupies one-third of the world's population, so we hope to pass on the international Olympic spirit to China through the Olympic Games, so that 6 million Chinese can share the Olympic spirit."

Zai Xun said: "Hosting the Olympics is a good thing, so all preparations must be made. Although the construction of the venues is basically ready, but the Indian war has just ended, and the time is still a little tight. My brother thinks that if necessary, additional funding for the Olympics can be invested."

Zaifeng said: "The emperor has already given enough money. To host the Olympic Games, a large stadium needs to be built around Gyeonggi. According to the previous Olympic Games, it will cost 7 million dragon coins to accommodate 120 people, but the emperor ordered To make this Olympic Games the most successful in history, coupled with the enthusiastic participation of the people of the empire and the enthusiasm of people from all over the country to buy tickets, so a rough calculation, the number of participants plus tourists from all over the world will not be less than one hundred Therefore, this stadium can accommodate at least 10 people, so if there is no 200 million dragon coins, such a stadium cannot be built.”

Zai Xun said: "How can we have [-] seats? It's too petty to set up [-] seats for China's [-] million people. After the Olympic Games in the future, our country will also hold a National Games to enhance the quality of our people."

"That's right," Guan Xuqing said, "After the Olympics, we will start to popularize fitness for all. The Olympic venues will not be built in vain. The Olympics are not easy. The competition of strength and the number of medals on the field represent the strength of a country. National quality level, the former Qing Dynasty left 2000 million opium addicts, the national physical quality is not as good as the nationals of European and American countries, and there is a long way to go to improve the national quality!"

"What the emperor said is true!" Zai Tao said: "However, with the [-] million citizens of the empire, it should not be difficult to select hundreds of outstanding athletes! As for the competition rules and events of Europeans, although Chinese people are not good at them, I believe that the empire There are a lot of talents, there must be no shortage of candidates in this area, even if you can't get the first place, it shouldn't be a problem to win the silver and bronze medals."

Guan Xuqing thought for a while and said: "Since we are the host, we must send invitation letters to all countries in the world. We will try our best to let them come and join, and even many small countries cannot afford the expenses, so we have to pay in advance." Invite them to come. In short, the scope of the competition should be large, and each country has its own characteristic sports, which can be used as competition events. This is an indispensable step in establishing the image of a great country after the war.”

Zai Xun smiled and said, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid there are other reasons? If you guessed correctly, you are going to take this opportunity to add some special sports of our Heavenly Kingdom to the competition, so that other The country also understands the customs of the Chinese Empire."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "Half right, I just want the empire to get more gold medals."
