Chapter 548: Yesterday Reappears (7)
"When will the governor return to Beijing?" Ziyang asked the comrades of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee on the phone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As before, the comrades of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee used the word 'I don't know' to beat Ziyang. Putting down the phone, Ziyang was very unhappy in his heart. It is understandable that what used to be a somewhat turbulent situation is now back to normal. After decades of development, revision, and adjustment, it is easy for a system to start operating according to the existing model as long as no one deliberately tosses around it.
After Yao Bang tossed such a thing himself, the system instinctively began to fight back against him. However, a mature system has been a good thing for a long time, even if the counterattack is very powerful, it will not continue indefinitely. When the people who disturbed the system died down, the matter was ostensibly settled. Of course, only on the surface.
Zi Yang didn't really hope that things would settle down, he carefully prepared a set of rhetoric, but he didn't have the opportunity to put it into practice. It's like a child who learns tricks and screams in someone's ear with a seemingly harmless approach, only to find that the ear has been blocked. This sense of loss and disappointment is intense.
After leaving the city of Tokyo, Weeser did not immediately return to Asia from North America, but was escorted by a brigade to Victoria City, the capital of Britain in North America. When the train passed through Longquan, the steel center of the Great Lakes region of North America, it was filled with smoke and the sky was overcast, with a great taste of Hebei in the 21st century. Longquan's former name is Pittsburgh, borrowing the allusion that the Longquan sword comes from the high-quality iron ore in the valley. When Wei Ze stopped in Longquan, he had a discussion with the comrades of the local iron and steel company, and discussed the 'enterprise product control' and 'enterprise cost control'.
In this world, Weeser is perhaps the most recognizable one of the 'productive forces driving social development', so he did not come up with the automatic control that would appear decades later to shake this group of sad working people. It is precisely because there is no way to see immediate prospects that there is a deep digging into existing technologies, and the essence of many technologies is derived from this. Although the argument that a desperate situation is inevitable is completely disregarded for probability, it is also logically wrong. But Weeser is not here to discuss philosophical issues.
Then, from Longquan City to the east, it is closer to the border between China and Britain. When Wei Ze saw the Northern Great Wall with his own eyes, he was really a little excited. After moving the capital to Beijing, there were more opportunities to see the Great Wall. The Great Wall of Asia is already a cultural concept, but the reality is that both inside and outside the Great Wall are Chinese. It feels different from the Great Wall, which is garrisoned by troops and plays a military role.
The North Great Wall and the South Great Wall are located in different climates, and the environment is also very different. The area around the Great Wall of South is somewhat similar to the drought in the northwest, and you can see a huge wall several meters high on the land where the shrubs exist, like a winding dragon with no end in sight. The North Great Wall is located between the mountains and mountains, with lush forests and lush greenery. The gray Great Wall looms in the mountains and forests, and there is a kind of subtlety of the dragon seeing the head but not the end.
After a long stop at the huge border station, Weese's train continued on its way. This time, it was the British military column that opened the way in front. The British also sent a pick-up crew on the train in which Weeser was riding. It can be seen that the answering staff is quite nervous. If it were purely British's own personnel, they would never have the idea of assassinating Weeser, and even if they did, they would not have carried it out. It is not that the British have become fasting and praying Buddha, but that if Weser is assassinated in England, no matter who succeeds the Republic of China, the British territory in North America will immediately be hit with the most ruthless blow. It was North America, but a few years ago, the biggest wish of the 'current British people' was to kill the Emperor of the Republic of China, Wesser. The United States no longer exists in North America, and that hatred is unlikely to disappear completely. To keep Weeser safe is to protect the security of the UK, which makes the response personnel very nervous.
Seeing that the train was getting closer to Victoria City, the answering staff finally began to relax a little. Britain was too far away from the Min Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Min Dynasty, Wei Ze, was still notoriously fond of going to foreign countries. Despite the invitations of England and the nations of Europe, Emperor Weser never left his vast country. Not to mention Wei Ze, the emperor of the Min Dynasty, even the royal family of the Min Dynasty has never been to Britain or Europe. There is even a legend in Europe that the Chinese emperor made a pact with a certain god that he would be invincible as long as he did not leave China. Now I finally have the opportunity to invite Weeser to visit Britain, and Britain hopes to further strengthen its good relations with the Republic of China in this regard.
Edward VII personally went to the railway station to meet the Emperor Weser of the Republic of China, and the city of Victoria, the predecessor of the city of Wharton, was so badly designed that the British repossessed the place and demolished it on a large scale. From the very beginning, the experience of the city of the Republic of China was drawn, and the magnificent scale gave this place a new look. The square in front of the station covers an area of more than 200,000 square meters, and the royal guards can easily line up for inspection.
After the review, the convoy headed to the Golden Han Palace. Passing through the central square, Weeser saw that the once existing 'Wah Shengton Monument' was only the pedestal, on which stood a huge bronze statue of Queen Victoria of India.
All U.S.-related buildings in Victoria, such as the Lincoln Memorial, have been destroyed. However, when he arrived at the Golden Han Palace, Wei Ze couldn't help but chuckle. Next to the imposing building was a gatehouse, and Weeser was sure that the white gatehouse, with its tall dome and many of its wings, was once the White House. The Englishman's sense of humor and malice made Wei Ze have to laugh for a while, and for some reason, the entourage couldn't help but laugh together when they learned the reason why Wei Ze was laughing.
During his visit to the UK, Weeser had an in-depth discussion with the UK on the relations between the two countries. Emperor Weeser not only made Edward VII feel the meaning of peace, but he also made speeches in the British Parliament of both houses. There were many British parliamentarians who wanted to dismantle Weeser in their hearts, they were hostile to socialism, and some of their relatives and children died at the hands of the people. However, there are also many people who have a favorable impression of the socialist system, because the capitalist system on the basis of pure private ownership has obviously been unable to solve the increasingly fierce social contradictions at present.
Emperor Weeser surprised most British parliamentarians with the content of his speech, and after talking about the two ways to solve domestic problems at home and foreign problems, Weeser said that the meaning of peace is to enable people to face suffering. China has found that even if it were to occupy the whole world as a single country, it would at best delay the onset of suffering. The United States had been a British colony before the rebellion, and Britain had not been able to keep the United States at that time. With the improvement of the level of productivity and the progress of the social system, Britain is now finally able to sit firmly in North America. 'You can win the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately', this is true for Britain, and it is still true for the Republic of China.
Regardless of whether the British could accept Weeser's views, at least the two sides had a frank exchange and understood each other's current policy directions. His Majesty Weeser proposed that China and Britain should hold regular exchanges so that the two countries would not misjudge each other's policies.
Lloyd, deputy leader of the British Liberal Party, who participated in the meeting?? George laughed, "Do you think the two countries can agree on such a basic policy issue?" ”
Wei Ze smiled: "I fully know that your ideas and my complete opposition to your ideas can exist at the same time, and it is possible to avoid war in communication." If both sides are sure that the information they have is incomplete, do we have any choice but to double down on the bad faith of the other side? ”
Lloyd?? George was stunned for a moment, and then asked after a while, "Can such a wish be fulfilled?" ”
"There is no road in the world, but when people walk more, it becomes a road." Wei Ze replied calmly. This non-pretentious, non-exaggerated, and meaningful answer made a number of high-ranking British personnel a little awe-inspired.
When the news of Governor Wei Zedu's return to the Republic of China and the beginning of his Asian operations reached Beijing, the reaction was mixed, but there was a bit of schadenfreude or something in the eyes of Yao Bang. Yao Bang tried his best to remain calm on his face, but he was actually quite lost in his heart. As the date of Governor Wei Zedu's return to China approached day by day, Yao Bang was even a little afraid that if he took the opportunity to take responsibility with the mode of the chairman's order, he would forcibly end it. This matter will probably drag on until Wei Zedu Governor returns, and at that time Yao Bang will lose even the chance to solve it.
It was at this time that Yao Bang suddenly remembered the Germans. At such a big price, Yao Bang hoped that the Germans could make some progress. If the Germans were too stupid, they didn't see the point at all. Yao Bang's efforts failed or failed.
When Weizer returned to Beijing, it was mid-December 1902, and at the strong invitation of Japan, His Majesty Weizer went to Japan on his return from North America. It was welcomed by the Japanese people. The streets of Tokyo are lined with Japanese subjects, many of whom fought in North America as servants, who pay homage to the great power and conqueror.
When the so-called Japanese Emperor Meiji who greeted Wei Ze saw Wei Ze, his inner impulse was probably to cut Wei Ze, but he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect. At this time, the authorities warmly greeted His Majesty the Emperor and sincerely hoped that His Majesty the Emperor of China would provide Japan with the opportunity to serve China, as he had done a few years earlier. During the years when Japan sent a large number of laborers to serve the Minchao, Japan's domestic economy was booming, and the people lived a good life that they had never dared to think of before. After the end of the large-scale export of labor services, the Japanese economy began to recover. The Japanese people also traveled thousands of miles away as a servant army, which opened their eyes and gained some understanding. It's getting harder and harder to rule them.
After listening to the statements of these Japanese, Wei Ze found that there were clearly two factions in Japan. On the one hand, they think that Japan should simply return to the old path of seclusion and seclusion, while on the other hand, they think that Japan must go out, and they don't know where to go just by looking around the world. Of course, it is impossible to attack the Minchao, and with Japan's current strength, they do not have the ability to expand their territory thousands of miles away. Therefore, there are still people who test His Majesty Wei Ze, wondering if His Majesty Wei Ze has any desire to further expand his territory. It can be seen that these Japanese felt that their offer in the North American War was too low, and the Americas were so big, that Japan should actually ask His Majesty Wei Ze for a small piece of land as a 'fief'. If they had done it at that time, they would probably have been able to set out from the 'fiefdom' and conquer the vast world.
The Japanese have a big brain, and Wei Ze can only steal joy in his heart. Finally, His Majesty Wei Ze said that the Republic of China will discuss the opening of work visas to Japan.
Although this result did not satisfy the Japanese, they did not dare to say anything more than thanks. The North American War was fought by a million Japanese servants, so the Japanese really understood how powerful the Minsui was. The huge United States is still in pieces, and Japan's changes are unlikely to have any other result than to bring about its own demise.
The convoy in which the governor rode returned to Beijing, and the comrades attending the three sessions became excited. Many people are very unserious and gloating.
