Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Your Highness, it's time for you." Just as Pu De was thinking about his own thoughts, Marshall, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his hand and patted his leg, and whispered at the same time: "You should make some preparations. "

Pu De was stunned, and only heard Nixon say: "... Regarding the current situation facing the Balkans and the problems facing the United States after the war, I think our two guests today are the most qualified to explain. Next, I will invite His Royal Highness Pu De, Prince of the Chinese Empire, has made a wonderful explanation to everyone on this matter."

"Your Highness, it's your turn." Marshall whispered without losing the opportunity.

Pu De nodded, stood up from his seat with a solemn expression, first adjusted his clothes, and then took a big step, and walked quickly towards the podium where Nixon was standing under the eyes of thousands of people in the entire venue .

"rustle……"

"Om..."

On the podium, Pu De first tried the microphone in front of him, then looked around the entire venue, and then said: "Members of the United States of America, I am very happy to be able to stand here today and give a speech. an honor."

"Swipe..." Frequent flashes of light focused on Pu De's body, and the reporters around the seats in the venue were taking pictures frequently.

"I am also immensely proud that I represent people all over the world who are unbending from violence, unafraid of sacrifice, and fighting for freedom and peace. It is an absolute honor to be a part of them And proud." Pu De continued calmly: "First of all, I would like to thank General Marshall for his invitation, which gave me the opportunity to come to the world-famous Capitol Hill to give a speech. Ladies, gentlemen, friends! For a long time, China and the United States have The Chinese people have always held strong interests and friendly feelings towards each other. The Chinese people appreciate the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the American people and admire the remarkable achievements made by the American people in building the country. With the rapid development of China and the continuous expansion of Sino-US cooperation , more and more Americans are also turning their attention to China and paying more attention to China's development and progress. Understanding is the basis of trust. Today, I would like to talk about the development strategy of contemporary China from the perspective of the historical changes and realistic development of Chinese civilization and the way forward, hoping to help the American people understand China more comprehensively and deeply.”

"In the long history of more than 5000 years, the Chinese nation has made great contributions to the progress of human civilization, and at the same time has gone through a tortuous and arduous road. Especially in the more than 1840 years since the Opium War in 100, the Chinese people have struggled to get rid of poverty and accumulation The fate of the Chinese nation has undergone profound changes. Twenty-nine years ago, the Chinese Empire was proclaimed. Since then, a constitutional monarchy has been established, breaking the decadent system of the former Qing government in one fell swoop, and creating a new foundation for the empire. China's progress has opened the floodgates, and through hard work, great achievements have been made that have attracted worldwide attention. From the beginning of this century to the present, China's GDP has increased from US$29 billion to US$725 billion, and its total import and export volume has increased from US$4912 billion to US$35 billion. Looking back on the vicissitudes of life that have taken place in China over the years, it can be said that the Chinese people have not only changed their own destiny but also promoted the cause of human progress through arduous exploration and tenacious struggle."

"However, we are also soberly aware that although China has made great development achievements, the life of the people in the empire is not yet rich, and the development of the empire still faces many prominent contradictions and problems. It is necessary to completely change the face of China and improve the The life of the Chinese people needs to continue to work hard. In the next 20 years, the empire will make the economy more developed, democracy more sound, science and education more advanced, culture more prosperous, and people's lives more prosperous."

"Chinese civilization is a civilization that has never been interrupted in the ancient civilizations of the world and has been developed continuously for more than 5000 years. The unique cultural traditions formed by the Chinese nation in the long history of development have deeply influenced ancient China and contemporary China. .Chinese civilization has always focused on people-oriented, respecting the dignity and value of people. As early as thousands of years ago, the Chinese proposed that "the people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the country is stable", "There is nothing more precious than people between heaven and earth" , emphasizing the need to benefit the people, enrich the people, nourish the people, and benefit the people. Today, we pay attention to people's value, rights and freedom, the quality of life and development potential of people, and ultimately to realize the happiness of the people. Guarantee the people's right to survival and The right to development remains China's top priority. We will vigorously promote social development, guarantee people's enjoyment of freedom, democracy and human rights, and enable the Chinese people to live a happy life.

"Chinese civilization has always paid attention to self-improvement and continuous innovation. 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives constantly for self-improvement.' This is a Chinese motto handed down for thousands of years. The Chinese nation has been able to thrive, develop and grow in the course of more than 5000 years of history, and survived setbacks. Unyielding, never giving up after repeated setbacks, rely on such a spirit of perseverance and perseverance. The enterprising spirit shown by the Chinese people in the course of advancing the empire is shown in overcoming various difficulties on the way forward His tenacious perseverance is a vivid portrayal of this spirit of self-improvement."

"Chinese civilization has always paid attention to being kind to neighbors and living in harmony. The Chinese nation has always loved peace. The Chinese have always adhered to the spirit of 'the strong should not oppress the weak' and 'the rich should not bully the poor' in their foreign relations, and advocated 'all nations in harmony'. The Chinese advocate "the sea is inclusive of all rivers, tolerance is greatness", and advocates absorbing the best of a hundred schools of thought and gathering the essence of all directions. Today, the Chinese Empire holds high the banner of peace, development, and cooperation. It not only develops itself by maintaining world peace, but also develops itself through its own development to promote world peace. China is sincerely willing to carry out extensive cooperation with other countries, and is sincerely willing to embrace and absorb the strengths of various civilizations to promote the construction of a world of lasting peace and common prosperity.”

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends! China and the United States both have vast lands, are countries where multiple ethnic groups coexist and a variety of cultures are integrated, and both live with hardworking and intelligent people. China and the United States have different historical backgrounds and actual national conditions. However, there are differences, which help us to learn from each other and learn from each other. Strengthening cooperation between China and the United States is in the fundamental interests of the two countries and their peoples, and has a major impact on world peace and development. For more than 200 years, the vast Pacific Ocean has not Blocking the exchanges and cooperation between the people of China and the United States, the people of China and the United States learn from each other and help each other. The relationship between the two countries has experienced twists and turns, but on the whole it has maintained a stable development direction, which has brought huge benefits to the two countries."

"Humanity has entered the 20th century, and the international situation continues to undergo profound changes. Peace and development are still the theme of today's era, but factors of instability and uncertainty are increasing. Under the new international situation, the common interests of China and the United States are increasing, and the areas of cooperation are increasing Expansion. The new issues facing world peace and security, especially preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, protecting the human living environment, and fighting the threat of local wars, have made our two countries have important common strategic interests. China's vast development market, the United States The advanced technology and high-quality products of the two countries have huge space for economic and technological cooperation. The development and cooperation between China and the United States has broad prospects."

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends! One note cannot express a beautiful melody, and one color cannot paint a colorful picture scroll. The world is a rich and colorful art palace, and the unique cultures created by people of all countries are in this palace. The treasure of a nation. The culture of a nation often embodies the nation’s historical cognition and realistic feelings about the world and life, and also often accumulates the deepest spiritual pursuit and code of conduct of the nation. The process of human historical development is the development of various civilizations. The process of continuous communication, integration and innovation. Various civilizations in human history have contributed to human progress in their own unique ways. Civilization diversity is an objective reality of human society, a basic feature of today's world, and an important factor for human progress. Power. Historical experience shows that in the process of human civilization exchanges, it is necessary not only to overcome natural barriers and barriers, but also to overcome ideological barriers and constraints, and to overcome all kinds of prejudices and misunderstandings. Ideology, social systems, and development models Differences should not be an obstacle to the exchange of human civilizations, let alone a reason to confront each other. We should actively maintain the diversity of the world, promote dialogue and integration of different civilizations, learn from each other rather than exclude each other, so as to make mankind more harmonious and happy, and make the world more prosperous. Colorful. Thank you guys."

After Pu De finished speaking, he bowed deeply to many congressmen in the hall, then turned around and strode towards his seat.

"Papa papa..." There was a burst of applause first, and then thunderous applause resounded in the venue. It seemed that the congressmen had not listened to the content transformed by the translators until then.

There is no doubt that this short but powerful speech was a success. Until then, Pu De breathed a sigh of relief. From the corner of his eye, he saw Wu Tingfang smiling and nodding towards him, while Nixon was smiling. Thumbs up to him.

"Your Highness." On his seat, Pu De met Marshall's admiring gaze: "I have never admired a person so much as today, and there is no doubt that you are the most charismatic prince I have ever seen. If I have the opportunity to work with His Highness, it will be the greatest honor in my life."

Allowing the cool and suitable water to spray down from his head, Pu De closed his eyes tightly, raised his head and exhaled a heavy turbid air.This is the room where Pu De lived in the Mayflower Hotel. After a good night's sleep, Pu De took a shower as soon as he woke up.Different from others, Pu De likes to take a bath after getting up in the morning, he finds this feeling very comfortable, and greets the rising sun with a new look every day.

Pu De first combed his water-stained hair with both hands, then turned off the water valve in front of him, and the clear water sprayed from the red lotus pod stopped abruptly.He shook his head, looking at the bathroom inlaid with snow-white tiles in front of him, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while.How different are the different regions of the world?The remote Balkans are still suffering from war at this time, and the citizens cannot even enjoy a peaceful life, not to mention using this kind of automated bathing equipment.World economists analyzed after the war that the economy of the Balkans and even the whole society were behind China by a century, but I don’t know if these guys have thought about how the Balkans’ backwardness came about before their analysis.In the powder kegs of Europe, wars have never stopped.War is the most effective lagging agent for a country's economic development. After a hundred years of war, if there is no quite a long period of development, how can the development of the Balkans compare with that of China?

Pu De felt that he was indeed different from the prince who kept his ears to the outside world and only read sage books. Now he has learned to worry about the country and the people, and he has learned to talk loudly.

But having said that, how can the current him compare with the pampered prince back then?Now he is a person involved in the military and political affairs of the empire, which is very different from before. Under such circumstances, many issues that he should not have considered in the first place have to be considered.

He casually took a clean white blanket from the shower shelf, wrapped it around his body hastily, then opened the glass door of the bathroom and walked out.

The room arranged by the hotel for Pu De definitely belongs to the level of the presidential suite.Spacious, luxurious and yet elegant, there are still many hanging decorations such as celebrity nominations on the walls around the living room. It seems that the American side really takes care of itself.

Sitting down in front of the soft leather sofa, Pu De casually picked up the cigar case on the table, took out one from it and lit it for himself.This is the first time he smoked this kind of thing.It seemed that he was very uncomfortable, and the flushed face and uncontrollable severe cough were enough to illustrate this point.

Pu De just took a puff of a high-quality cigar, and then threw it aside. He found that he was not blessed to enjoy such a high-quality cigar.

"whisper……"

At this moment, the electric bell in the room rang, and Pu De knew that a guest was coming.

Standing up from the sofa, Pu De walked quickly to the door, and looked out through the peephole on the door.I saw Marshall in military uniform standing outside the door, and beside him was a young and beautiful blonde, who might be Marshall's interpreter.

Pu De was a little stunned, wondering why Marshall came to him so early.When he was about to reach out to pull the door, Pu De suddenly remembered that he was only wearing a bath towel, and it would be impolite to receive guests under such circumstances.

"General Marshall? Please wait a moment." Through the door, Pu De said apologetically.Immediately, without waiting for Marshall's reply, he hurried back to the bedroom, found a brand new suit and put it on.

"Good morning, Your Highness." When Pu De let him in, Marshall shook hands with him first, then glanced at his wet head, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you so early."

"Don't mind, General." Pu De let the other party sit down in front of the sofa, smiled and said: "I got up early, and just took a shower. Hehe, others like to bathe in the sun in the early morning, but I like to take a bath. "

"Well then, I will trouble your Highness with this matter." Marshall finally said, "I asked her to come over this afternoon. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that my niece is named Beatrice Barton, and her father is me. old friend."

Looking at the black-haired and blue-eyed girl in front of him, Pu De felt too much emotion in his heart.The name reminded him of a World War II hero, not to mention that Marshall also stated that this person was the daughter of his friend.

If there is one American war hero whose reputation can surpass MacArthur and Marshall, it can only be George Patton; if there is one American war hero who can be praised by the Chinese emperor, it can only be George Patton if there is one more American war hero who ended in tragedy, it was George S. Patton; , that person is still George Patton.

In Pu De's view, in the entire World War II and the Sino-American War, only Patton was a real, out-and-out soldier with a professional background. He possessed all the elements that a professional soldier should have. Either good or bad.He has excellent military command skills and has an obsessive preference for offense. For him, only offense is the best embodiment of military courage, and entering the trench defense is a sign of cowardice.His character is rude and irritable, and he speaks freely. "Bastard" and "son of a bitch" are his favorite catchphrases. He uses these catchphrases to inspire the fighting spirit of his soldiers, and his soldiers also use these catchphrases to greet he.For the soldiers of the U.S. Third Army, Patton was a symbol of victory, "He is like a god, his curse can make the tanks stuck in the mud, and the tankers who are at a loss climb out of the predicament and catch up with the team again. "

Just as Patton gave a pre-war mobilization speech when facing the Third Army under his command at a critical moment in the Sino-American War: "...20 years later you will be glad that you participated in this war. At that time, when you The grandson sits on your lap by the fireplace and asks you: "Grandpa, what did you do during the Sino-American war?" You don't have to cough awkwardly, move your grandson to the other knee and stammer: "Ah... grandpa I was shoveling shit in Louisiana.' Instead, man, you can look him in the eye and say, 'Grandson, Grandpa, I fought with that son of a bitch George Patton in the Third Army! "

Indeed, Patton was always so vulgar, but the army he led was always so courageous and morale so high that the US Third Army became a myth in the Sino-US war.

In addition, Patton's heroic and outstanding performance in World War II also won Stalin's admiration. He once praised the Red Army Chief of Staff unabashedly: "Like Patton and his army, the march across France is very important to the Red Army. It’s unthinkable, and certainly impossible.”

Even the enemy, some generals of the German army, made no secret of their appreciation for Patton.As Patton's old enemy, Rommel with the title of "Desert Fox" once said: "The Americans in Tunisia paid a high price for the experience they gained, but the benefits were not small. American generals had already shown at that time that they It was advanced in tactical maneuvering, although we did not witness the most astonishing achievements of Patton's army in mobile warfare until in France."

When Von Rundstedt was interviewed by a German reporter, he declared unabashedly: "Button is outstanding!"

As the commander who once commanded the Nazi German army to confront Patton, General Hermann and Balck also said frankly: "General Patton was an outstanding tactical genius in World War II. I still regard it as a great achievement to have confronted him. It was a great honor and an unforgettable experience.”

It is such a general with outstanding military achievements, rough temperament but infinite personal charm, who became a prisoner of the Dragon Army due to lack of effective support in the Sino-US war, and is currently being held in a prisoner-of-war camp in China. The general had a hard time fulfilling his long-cherished wish: "To die by the last bullet in the last war."

For real soldiers, Pu De undoubtedly respects them, no matter which camp they stand in, or what kind of position they have, because he always firmly believes that "the soul of the army has no borders".War is a game. A really good chess player can not only win, but also win the respect of the opponent while winning, and the same is true for war.A true general can not only defeat the enemy, but also win the respect of the opponent while achieving victory.

For soldiers, what kind of life is the most meaningful?It's not the supreme honor and power, but when someone talks about himself a hundred years later, he can give a thumbs up and say respectfully: "He is a real soldier." This is enough.Pu De felt that after a hundred years, if he could be remembered by the whole world like Barton, then this life would really be worthwhile.

"Actually, you shouldn't come to do an exclusive interview with me." Feeling in his heart, Pu De couldn't help but let out a long sigh facing Beatrice Patton, and then said: "Your father, George Patton, is the person you should be the most. to pay attention."

"Oh?" Beatrice was obviously confused. After all, no matter who sees her father's prestige now, she is not as famous as the young prince in front of her, especially now that her father is being held in a Chinese prisoner-of-war camp as an American prisoner of war. I can't hold my head up under the pressure of the American people's saliva. What is there to interview?

"I know your father." Pu De thought for a while, and then explained: "He is a real soldier, and he is destined to be a successful general. It takes time to test a great man. Let's wait and see, and it will take time." Before long, your entire America will be proud of his presence."

Beatrice had never heard the argument of the influential figure in front of her. In the eyes of those around her, her father had always been a grumpy but not very successful person.Now, someone said to himself that his father, who was so sloppy, was destined to be a successful general. How did he come to such a conclusion?

"Your Highness knows my father?" Beatrice sat upright and asked curiously.

"Well, but I've only heard of his name, but I haven't seen him, which is a pity for me." Pu De stood up and poured a glass of water for Beatrice.

"Your Highness was joking." Beatrice obviously didn't believe the other party's statement, and she thanked him politely.

"I'm telling the truth, absolutely nothing false." Pu De said with a shrug. "The destiny of a professional soldier is to be hit by the last bullet in the last battle and die cleanly. A person who can say such a sentence should be respected by everyone."

"Then..." Beatrice seemed to want to ask something more, but Pu De interrupted her at this moment.
