Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Miss Beatrice," Pu De said with a wave of his hand, "If I remember correctly, you are here to give me an exclusive interview. Originally, things like this required a few more procedures, but Now I can accept your interview, but we must agree on three chapters. First, I will only give you 10 minutes, because I still have important matters to deal with afterwards; second, the questions you raise cannot involve our country’s state secrets , I will not answer if it arises; third, I will not answer questions that are not conducive to the current Sino-US strategic cooperative relationship. Miss Beatrizia, do you think there is a problem with the three conditions I put forward?"

"Of course there will be no problem." Beatrice replied straightforwardly: "I will try my best to consider your position, Your Highness, so as to avoid those sensitive topics. Of course, due to the differences in systems between China and the United States, so I can't guarantee whether the questions I raised will touch your bottom line, so if I accidentally mention something that makes you feel embarrassed, I hope His Highness can forgive me."

"Then first wish us a happy cooperation." Pu De nodded understandingly.

"The general, I'm going to ask the first question." Beatrice admired the easy-going of the Chinese prince, and she took out a manuscript paper and a pen from her satchel to prepare for the interview.

"You can start now." Pu De said while sitting upright with a very serious look.

"The first question," Beatrice smiled slightly, and then said: "The public in the United States is very interested in His Highness's deeds, but they don't have the slightest understanding of your life experience. Therefore, I suggest that you Can you give a brief introduction about your life experience? For example, your parents, your brothers and sisters, and the education you received when you were young, etc. "

"Oh, I can only say sorry to you about this." Pu De shrugged and said helplessly: "Because I really have nothing to talk about in this regard. You should know that my family is quite special. My father I am the emperor of China, my mother is the imperial concubine, my brothers and sisters are all core members of the royal family, so I can’t say too much about my family, I can only say that my family is no different from thousands of ordinary families , the father is responsible for the education of the children, and the mother is more concerned about our growth and health. As for the education I received when I was young, I am afraid it can only be limited to the Chinese court-style Confucianism education. Of course, if this is also a kind of education if."

Beatrice's questions to Pu De, in the first ten minutes or so, were basically entangled in his personal issues, and did not involve any state secrets or affect Sino-US cooperative relations.Seeing that the short 10-[-] minutes were about to pass, just when Pu De thought that this interview could end in a dull manner, Beatrice finally brought the question to the most critical point of her arrangement for this interview superior.

Who Controls Ups and Downs: The Third World War (closed volume) Chapter 160 The so-called human rights

"Your Highness Pu De," Beatrice first looked at her watch, and then pretended to ask casually: "Now the public in the United States has learned that the decision made by Congress yesterday is that China and the United States The two countries need to establish a long-term and stable strategic cooperative relationship and keep in step in terms of military and politics. In the next four months, the United States will mobilize US$80 billion worth of military and food supplies to support China's military construction. He also promised to help the United States restore its domestic economy. What is your attitude towards this vote in the US Congress? What do you think?"

"Welcome and grateful, this is the attitude of me and every Chinese citizen." Pu De replied without hesitation: "The correct resolution of your country's Congress on this issue is destined to be affected by all Chinese and American citizens." The welcome and respect of the people. I believe that with the passage of time, your government and your people will one day find out how wise the decisions they have made today are, and that what your country will have at that time will inevitably be It is the selfless help and support of the Chinese government and people, and everything you have done today will be remembered by everyone."

"But Your Highness," Beatrice continued, "you also know that not everyone in Congress supports this resolution, including the Democratic Congressman, Mr. Sheth Rockson from Virginia. Resolution, and voted against it. What do you think this represents? Is it that people like Sheth Rockson are short-sighted? Do you have any advice for these people represented by Sheth Rockson?"

"Miss Beatrizia, you should know that this world is complicated, and people's thoughts are also complicated. Any two different people will have different views on the same thing." Pu De smiled and said: "Just like in the voting in your country's Congress this time, the reason why some people voted for it and some people chose to vote against it is because they have different views on this war, or they think about it. It’s just that the perspective is different. As for whether the Mr. Sheth Rockson you mentioned is short-sighted, I personally feel that I can’t say that, and I have no right to give him any advice. All this is left to time and history to prove. Yes. But what I want to say is that I hope this Sheth Rockson can pay more attention to the current situation in the world. If he has a little understanding of the current situation in other countries, then I believe that Mr. Johnson’s experience should be able to ring a bell for him. Alarm bell."

Johnson is the former president of the United States. After the end of the Sino-American War, Johnson was sentenced to life imprisonment through a public trial in New York. He is still serving his sentence in prison.When Pu De used Johnson as an example at this time, he was actually criticizing Sheth Rockson's point of view as wrong, and Beatrice could also hear this meaning.

"Your Highness, Mr. Sheth Rockson is not opposed to maintaining world peace, nor is he opposed to the United States providing assistance to the Balkans." Beatrice smiled maliciously: "He just opposes helping China build an army. Just as he is today As early as the speech he gave in the Capitol Hill Square, he said that China under the leadership of the imperial system is actually no different from a fascist country. It is the same greedy, authoritarian, and likes to deprive human rights. Therefore, he believes that the United States is a country of freedom and democracy. Representatives of China must not provide any cooperation opportunities in any sense for an authoritarian country like China."

"Miss Beatrizia," Pu De frowned and said, "We have something to say first, and I will not answer questions that will harm the unity of China and the United States. I think the question you raised is not suitable for answering."

"Mr. Sheth Rockson has two reasons to prove his point." Beatrice obviously did not intend to give up her obsession with this issue, she continued: "As for autocracy, it is very easy to prove, Sheath Locke Mr. Roxon gave the simplest example to prove this point: freedom of speech is the most basic human right in the United States. Sheth Roxon said that although he is a member of the U.S. Congress and the governor of Virginia, if he is published in a newspaper , people can still yell at him, like yelling Sheth Rockson is a jerk, the governor of Virginia is a jerk, absolutely no one cares about him, and he will not be arrested for it. And this is in China It is absolutely impossible. Your Highness, do you have anything to say about Sheth Rockson's statement?"

"I can choose not to answer this question." Pu De said with some displeasure.

"Well then, if His Highness doesn't answer, then I have to mark this question at the end of my interview, and Your Highness will keep silent about it." Beatrice said with a smile.

Pu De was furious. He knew that if Beatrice really did this, it would be even more detrimental to him. Maybe it was wrong for him to agree to this interview without authorization today.

"Okay, let me answer your last question." Pu De thought for a while and then smiled: "I really can't answer the question of why the Sino-US war started, because I have no access to the highest decision-making of the empire. As for saying thank you The second question mentioned by Mr. Sloxon, I think, is entirely because he misunderstands China too deeply. If this can prove the freedom of speech and democracy in a country, then I can only say that people in China also have As free and democratic as America, anyone can yell in the newspapers or even in front of the Forbidden City like Mr. Sheth Rockson said: 'Sheth Rockson is a bastard, the governor of Virginia is a bastard', I think for sure not Someone will take care of him, let alone someone will arrest him."

"Oh?" Beatrice was taken aback for a moment, she obviously didn't expect that Pu De would also play with this concept of stealing.

It was a gloomy afternoon, with suffocating dark clouds hanging over Beijing, and a rainstorm was imminent.

The eldest prince Pu Yin, a member of the imperial family, went to the airport to greet him, while the government delegation was led by the Imperial Deputy Prime Minister Zaifeng, together with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of War and other relevant government departments, as well as German envoys and civil servants in China representative etc.A Lufthansa passenger plane arrived at Beijing International Airport at around 5:20 p.m.There was hardly any decent welcome ceremony held at the airport, which was in sharp contrast to the lineup who came to pick up the plane.

When Haos got out of the cabin, he looked at the dense clouds in the sky and the gradually blurred outline of Beijing, and let out a long sigh.He cheered himself up, walked down the spiral staircase, and shook hands with the Chinese officials who came to greet him.After a short chat, they were sent directly to the hotel where they were staying by a special car, and then agreed to pay homage to the Chinese emperor in the Forbidden City the next day.

It was night, and Beijing was shrouded in a misty rain.Outside the window, the city wall of the Drum Tower stands alone and proudly in the night rain, telling visitors that it is already eleven o'clock at night.

How to perform the second half of this scene well is the biggest task for Haos. He stands in front of the window, breathes the humid air through the open window, and occasionally hits a few drops of rain on his face, which makes people sober There was no sleepiness at all, and it was easy to toss and turn in bed for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, it was a beautiful day. Although there was a little mist, the impact on visibility was extremely low. When we got in the car and headed for the Forbidden City, the security along the way was as high as that of other countries. There are only a few Chinese policemen maintaining the traffic, and there is no army guard of honor full of the streets like the Germans. At this time, there are not many Germans in China. Some people organized by the embassy formed some queues, but even so , This line of luxury cars and imperial guards still attracted the attention of unsuspecting passers-by.Arriving in front of Tiananmen Square, the welcome guard of honor of the brigade began to appear. From Tiananmen Square to Qianqing Palace, there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The Chinese royal guard of honor in classical uniforms played the traditional Chinese song - "Spring River Flower Moon Night" ".

When they arrived at the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, some palace officials came out to announce that His Majesty the Emperor would come out to greet him in person.This was an arrangement beyond etiquette. The military band worked even harder and played Chinese and German tunes in turn. After a while, Guan Xuqing, dressed in full costume, walked out of the Qianqing Palace in the tune of "Mighty China". , Haos stepped forward slowly, and on the platform in the middle of the steps, he saw the most powerful man on earth up close.

The emperor of China is approaching the year of his destiny, but he is well maintained. He looks like he is in his early 40s, with a pleasant smile on his face. After briefly introducing his ministers and expressing his welcome to the guests, he Leading Hao Si and his party into the palace.

Hao Si peeked at this former enemy. Although it was so many years later, the other party was still the same as before. Although there was a peaceful expression on his face, this man still maintained a majestic and noble look from a distance. Step into the Qianqing Palace together with distinguished guests from Germany.

"It's for a distinguished guest like you—" After sitting down, when Hao Si thanked the Chinese emperor for coming to welcome him personally, the other party replied with a strange smile on his face: "It's also for the Chinese Empire. Occasionally, I feel cold, and there are rumors that I am seriously ill outside. Now that I greet you in person, the rumors will be self-defeating. The reporters will tell the citizens of the empire that I have recovered. You know, the Chinese are hardworking and kind, but always I am very interested in rumors..." Although he has not fully recovered from his illness, when he said this, his eyes suddenly became extremely active, staring at me and saying: "For my body, and for Haos Your Excellency."

The topic got straight to the point, and Hao Si couldn't help feeling a little relieved.Fortunately, there is always room for explanation.If it was just a reception and a meeting at the level of courtesy, he would not know how to speak.

Ups and downs: World War III (Closed volume) Chapter 160 and [-] German visitors

Guan Xuqing continued to look at him, and greeted him to drink tea: "I am taking Chinese medicine, so I can't drink tea with you. Please feel free, as if you are in your own home." Turning to Hao Si's second wife Nina smiled and said: "I remember when you were married, I sent someone to send a special gift. Seeing the two of you now seems to remind me of the past few years ago."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Emperor—" Hao Si bypassed the doubts in the other party's first sentence, and continued directly: "'The sun and the moon sing together, and the twelve o'clock is auspicious: heaven and earth are united, celebrating hundreds of millions of years Wealth and well-being.” I still remember His Majesty’s best wishes to this day. After that year, our relationship has been like your blessing, and we have been rich and healthy for hundreds of millions of years. Your Majesty, the help of the Chinese Empire, I will always remember it in my heart .”

Guan Xuqing was brought Chinese medicine soup by the court physician, drank it in front of Haos and Nina, smiled after hearing what Haos said: "You just met the leader of the Italian Radical Party and Prime Minister Eda , did you say the same about his country?"

The Chinese emperor is still as always hiding a needle in the cotton, and hardly shows any sympathy to others. He directly and nakedly accused Haos of taking advantage of both sides. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty knows it very well, but as a world, China, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union can be said to be the top three countries in the world. The Soviets have some border disputes with our country, so I can only ask your country I would like to pay tribute to my former friend Italy, a backward country can only avoid the collapse of the country and the nation by learning more from the powerful countries, I hope Your Majesty can understand."

"Well——" Guan Xuqing waved his hand to let the maid take away the medicine tray, smiled and said: "It's understandable. You are an ambitious person—" He looked at Haos meaningfully and said: "It is the same as William II back then. Same, you have ideals, hope this will make your country strong, instead of going to the opposite side like Hitler. Mr. Hauss, you are very lucky to have the friendship of two great powers, to maintain it, not to destroy it, it is good for you There are benefits."

Hao Si nodded, this is of course, the obvious meaning is that he is going to do it, but he knew that the emperor must be dissatisfied, so he tried his best to say without showing any traces: "You are right, come on China, it is for this purpose that Ada treats me very well, and she is also very enthusiastic, which is too much for people to bear. But——" Haoss' face turned worried, and he leaned closer and said: " It seems that she still has some misunderstandings about China, mainly because the Chinese army forced her father Mussolini to commit suicide during World War II, which makes it very difficult for me."

Of course Guan Xuqing knew what kind of words Ada had. He looked at Hao Si and smiled and said, "When is the time for revenge? Whether it’s in the direction of the city, or the prosperity…” His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, “Whether it’s the desert, it’s the path we choose.”

Guan Xuqing talked with Hao Si in the Qianqing Palace for nearly two hours. After Hao Si left, Zaifeng, who didn't know the truth, came in to say hello, and asked by the way, "Your Majesty, this Hao Si seems familiar to me the more I look at it."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said, "You read that right, this Haosi is Bihaosi."

"You mean, this person is the Deputy Head of State of Nazi Germany who was imprisoned by our design-Hauss?"

Guan Xuqing acquiesced.

"Ah? For so many years, I thought he was secretly executed by the empire."

"His identity and ability do not allow us to deal with him hastily. For so many years, he has been imprisoned in China to house arrest and then acquitted. My favor to him is enough to make him willing to do anything for the empire."

"What does the emperor want to achieve by meeting him with such a high standard?"

"No one knows his true identity except for a few people in the empire. I am helping him to operate secretly and support him to ascend to the highest position in Germany. Now everything is ready and the only thing we need is east wind."

"The emperor wants to support a notorious Nazi leader?" Zaifeng thought it was incredible.

Guan Xuqing smiled disapprovingly: "It's nothing surprising. Hauss is an excellent leader. He knows how to mobilize the warlike blood in the bones of the Germans. If my predictions are correct, the Third World War will soon come to an end." The empire must not fight alone. Don’t forget that once the war starts, we will be dealing with the most powerful opponents in the world, such as Britain, the Soviet Union, and France. We need a trump card. I am optimistic about Germany and Italy. There is no such thing in Germany. No one has more leadership and appeal than Hauss. In Italy, no one has more leadership than Ada, the daughter of the former fascist leader Mussolini. If Hitler is still alive, if I can control him , What will the world look like? I have backed them up to the highest positions in order to let them assist the empire to establish an international structure that will always be dominated by China!"

Guan Xuqing's majestic sitting on a high throne made his younger brother Zaifeng feel an unprecedented domineering aura, which made him feel strange to his brother...

The spirits of the passengers after a long journey at sea were a little wilted, but they all showed a trace of excitement about returning to the solid earth. After drifting on the sea for so long, everyone is looking forward to returning to the solid earth, not far away. Another passenger ship is loading passengers in an orderly manner.The same scene is repeated throughout the port of Piraeus, Greece. The entire port is constantly handling passengers and a large amount of goods from all directions. The continuous flow of passengers and cargo is constantly loading and unloading, which represents the prosperity and importance of this port. , also represents the prosperity of this country from another angle.

At the customs office of the port, there is a long queue here, with passengers waiting to enter the customs.On the other side are passengers who are about to leave the country. Whether they walk in or out, they can always see some nervous or excited expressions in the long queue.

"Hey! You! It's you, open the box!" Two Greek customs officers stopped a yellow-skinned Chinese who had just passed through the customs.

Although the Chinese man's clothes were not very new, they were very neat. Although the white shirt was a little wrinkled after wearing it for a long time, the neckline was still very white from the starch.The coat is also a bit old, and there are still some signs of wear on the cuffs, but the coat has been ironed very straight.I have to say that although this Chinese is not eye-catching, his appearance and his confident inner attitude make this person look pleasing to the eye and very different.What is pleasing to the eye is that this person makes people feel confident like a gentleman and neither humble nor overbearing, but the difference is that he is a Chinese.In this land of Greece, the Chinese are all shrunken, and such an alternative naturally makes some people cast special eyes on him.

"Sir, my luggage has been checked outside just now." A trace of displeasure flashed across the face of the Chinese who was stopped, but this expression just passed by. He spoke very fluent and calm English, He spoke to the two Greeks standing in front of him.

"What do you think that kind of simple inspection can detect? I—Sitaridis is the best inspector here. I said that if there is a problem, there is a problem. Even if there is no problem, you have no reason to refuse my inspection!" A slightly smaller staff member named Sitaridis showed a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

"Okay, sir, do you need me to open it here?" Upon seeing this, the Chinese asked if he would put the luggage in his hand on the table next to him.

Another tall man standing next to him moved away, and the Chinese who got tacit approval placed his luggage on the table and opened the boxes one by one.
