As a guest of honor who was personally invited by King Sihanouk on this trip, he naturally has this qualification, if he walks behind, Cambodians can't distinguish the relationship between primary and secondary, how embarrassing is it?

This is the so-called indefinite. The second is that he has an important position in the world economic circle, and it also determines his own identity is extremely honorable, and it is well-founded to sit on an equal footing with the heads of state of these small countries, after all, the industry he owns can be called a rich country, and even much more than the economic income of these small countries for many years.

Secondly, his father is now also a member of the Central Committee, even if he wants to be humble, he must take into account that his father's face will not be affected, and all kinds of reasons are mixed together, which has caused Fan Wuxi's current various ways of expression.

The Counsellor of the Embassy and a colonel of the Cambodian Armed Forces greeted Pham and greeted him cordially.

Since the restoration of the royal family in 1993, the Cambodian armed forces of the three factions formed the Cambodian Armed Forces, with Sihanouk as the supreme commander, and then changed its name to the Khmer Royal Army, and the country was divided into five military regions and one special military region, with 12 main infantry divisions and a total strength of about 130,000 troops.

(All overdrive updates:\. SOSO999\.COM) But in fact, with Cambodia's current national strength, it is a bit difficult to raise an army of more than 100,000 people.

Judging from the current trend of the development of international military forces, this kind of low-quality and weak-fighting army-based military force belongs to the list that should be eliminated; after Cambodia began its peaceful reconstruction, it has drawn up a phased disarmament plan, planning to reduce the total number of armed forces to about 60,000 people, and at the same time appropriately increase the proportion of air force and navy.

The colonel of the Khmer royal army is called Somi Wapi, a very strange name, the specific meaning of which is not clear, but this person also looks red, red, black and black, and looks very happy.

Colonel Somi Wapi said a lot of polite words to Fan Wuxi, but Fan Wuxian didn't understand a word, but listened to the translator next to him with a smile for a while, and then said to Fan Wuxian that the other party was greeting him, and that His Majesty was in the palace for Mr. Fan Wuxi.

So, accompanied by embassy staff and guided by Colonel Somi Wapi, Pham Wuzhi and others took a red flag car to the royal palace in Phnom Penh for a banquet.

Fan Wuzhi was very surprised that he was able to sit in a Hongqi car in Phnom Penh, and the embassy staff explained to him that this car was very famous, and that it was given to him by the Chinese government when Sihanouk took refuge in China, and then he transported it to Cambodia as a souvenir of his life in China for more than 20 years.

"Ordinary people can't sit in this car, which means that Mr. Fan, your face is big enough." The embassy staff said to Fan Wuxian.

Along the way, Fan looked out of the car window and saw that there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, but it didn't look like the living conditions were good, a bit like China in the 70s, or even worse.

Cambodia now implements a liberal economic policy, opening all industries to the outside world, and encouraging foreign investment.

Last year, the Cambodian National Assembly passed an investment law to specifically solve the problem of foreign investment.

At present, there are four types of foreign investment in Cambodia: sole proprietorship, joint venture, cooperation and leasing, and production enterprises can be wholly foreign-owned, but trading enterprises are not allowed to be wholly foreign-owned.

The Cambodian government has also issued a series of regulations and established a mechanism for regular consultation and dialogue with investors, and at present, foreign investment mainly comes from China, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, etc.

Cambodia's domestic wage income level is very low, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the polarization phenomenon is serious, but the price is relatively stable, but there is a shortage of medical care and medicine in the rural areas, and the medical facilities are poor.

Along the way, Fan Wuxian saw a lot of civilians traveling on motorcycles, which are the main means of transportation for ordinary people, most of them are second-hand cars from Japan and Taiwan, which look a little tattered.

Due to its tropical location, Cambodians have very thin clothing. Their ethnic casual dress is that men wear straight-necked and multi-buttoned blouses, and when the weather is hot, they do not wear blouses, only sarongs or mountain pus.

(For more new chapters, please go to, search/search/nine/nine/nine/) sarongs are sewn on both sides of cloth printed with various beautiful patterns several feet, and are tied around the waist, resembling a skirt.

Shan Pu is made of a long strip of Cambodian peasant clothing, unstitched, wrapped from the waist down to the calf, and then passed through the crotch, and is tightly tied to the waist behind the back, with the rest sticking out like a fishtail.

Women's casual tops are mostly silk crewneck cardigans, and they also wear sarongs or mountain scarves underneath, and they usually wear a long, beautifully patterned cloth scarf around their waists.

"Can the renminbi be used in Cambodia?" Fan Wuxi looked at the bustling crowd outside and asked casually.

"Yes, the renminbi is also a hard currency, in addition to the dollar, the renminbi is popular, but the yen has a large market here." The embassy staff replied.

Japan is the largest donor to Cambodia, and since the beginning, it has to provide Cambodia with $100 million in aid every year, accounting for half of the foreign countries, mainly in the fields of roads and bridges, hydropower infrastructure, agriculture, rural development, health care, education, personnel training, environmental protection, heritage protection, and justice.

.COM In addition to Japan, Cambodia suffered from French colonial rule for 90 years, and the two countries have a deep traditional relationship, and France's assistance to Cambodia involves culture and education, law, religion, police and gendarmerie training, agriculture, health, etc.

On the contrary, the relationship between China and Cambodia has cooled down a bit recently. As the saying goes, crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, China's influence is too great, and for a small country like Cambodia that is close to China, it is still a little concerned about China's strength, lest its own national affairs cannot be autonomous, so relations with France, Japan, and even the United States have become the main diplomatic means in the near future.

"How much does our country provide to Cambodia every year?" Fan Wuxi asked again.

"It's not much, anyway." The staff said vaguely. Fan Wuxian nodded, thinking that this is probably better than nothing, after all, the domestic economic situation cannot be said to be good, there are more places to spend money, and it is impossible to aid the outside world with a lot of funds, and after more than ten years, when the national strength is strong, these small countries can enjoy the cordial care of the Celestial Empire again.

(All overdrive updates: search/search/9/9/9/COM) Soon, the convoy arrived at the royal palace in Cambodia.

Different from the scenery outside, it is not an exaggeration to describe the palace as resplendent in four words.

Also known as the Four Arms Bay Grand Palace, the palace was built in the late 19th century because of its location at the confluence of the Upper Mekong, Tonle Sap, Lower Mekong and Bassa rivers.

The palace is rectangular, more than 400 meters long and more than 400 meters wide, and there is a city wall outside. The architecture of the royal palace is in the traditional Khmer architectural style and religious colors, and the palace has a minaret, which represents prosperity.

The body of the temple is painted in yellow and white, yellow for Buddhism and white for Brahmanism. Originally made of wood, the palace was converted into a concrete structure, but it has maintained its original appearance.

The Golden Luang Hall was the place where kings were crowned, state guests were met, religious ceremonies were held, and credentials were presented by foreign envoys.

Members of the Senate, Congress and the Government also took the oath of office here. Also known as the Imperial Banquet Hall, the Pojani Pavilion was the main venue for the performance of the court ballet, where the king held dinners and received the delegates of the masses.

The palace is the dormitory house of King Sihanouk and Monileh, and is also used to receive foreign heads of state on official visits to Cambodia.

The Silver Hall is located on the side of the palace and is named after the 5,000 silver bricks on the ground. The hall houses a gold statue of King Sisova, weighing 90 kilograms, inlaid with more than 9,500 diamonds, the heaviest of which is 25 carats, and a large jade Buddha statue from the 17th century.

The Moonlight Tower is located on the main gate of the palace tower, because there is no wall around it, the moonlight pours into the hall at night.

It is used for the enthronement of kings, major ceremonies and state banquets. When the convoy arrived outside the palace, the royal guards immediately came up to greet them, and a special ceremonial official guided them to take Fan Wuxian and his party into the palace.

Most of the palaces were open to the public to make money, and only a few palaces remained for the royal family to live in, and the ceremonial officials told Pham and others that the king received guests from China at the Golden Luang Palace.

However, after Fan Wuxian saw the military posture of the palace guards sent by the other party, he felt that it was still preferential to improve.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the Jinluan Palace, where someone passed on the word on their behalf, and Fan Wuxian and the others entered the palace and saw the royal family who had already set up a banquet and were waiting for their arrival.

Seeing so many royal family members present, not only Fan Wuxi, but also the embassy staff and the accompanying staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who accompanied him were also shocked, and said in their hearts, what kind of day is this?

Why are so many Cambodian royal families present? It's enough to choose a king! The king and queen sat on the throne, smiling and looking at Fan Wuxian and the others who walked in.

Fan Wuxian took a look at the situation in the hall, and said in his heart that this was a fairly formal occasion, and he was so rude that he had lost his manners, so he folded his hands and raised them to the center of his eyebrows, and greeted the king and queen on the throne from afar.

The king is very kind, it seems to be the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, he keeps a smile on his face at any time, and after seeing Fan Wuxian saluting, he hurriedly returned a salute, and then invited Fan Wuxian and others to sit down.

Fan Wuxian took a look, just the gold and gems inlaid on the chair were worth hundreds of thousands, right?

The life of the royal family is really very luxurious, no wonder they all believe in Buddhism, they just hope that the people will be obedient!
