Chapter 167: The Founding Ceremony of the Xia Kingdom

June 15, 1914.

Wilhelm II of Germany officially recognized the Xia State (Lan Fang State) and invited Xia President Liang Luyi to visit Germany, and the two countries sent consuls to each other.

Asia was in turmoil all at once, followed by Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Italy, the Republic of China and other countries all recognized the existence of Xia one after another.

Chen Xuan also rushed to Jinling City on Lanfang Island, today's Jinling City has undergone vigorous development, and the Dazheng Palace imitating Chang'an Weiyang Palace has also been officially completed, the difference is only the decoration of the details, Chen Xuan came to Jinling City as a guest invited to participate in the founding ceremony of the Xia Kingdom.

Also invited were consuls, representatives from all walks of life and the king of Nanyang.

Xia currently has jurisdiction over Lan Phong Island (except for the Borneo part of the Malay Peninsula), Yingzhou Island (Sulawesi) and Abbot Island (New Guinea Island), as well as Phoenix.

President Xia is Liang Luyi, the last general minister of Lan Fangguo, which is also what Chen Xuan means, if Chen Xuan takes the presidency, then it will be a bit unjustifiable to participate in the domestic war in the future.

The prime minister of Xia Guo is Bao Youting, the Minister of Defense Feng Gu, and other key departments are all high-level members of the Baath Party, so in fact, everything in Xia is still under Chen Xuan's control.

Chen Xuan was also excited, no matter what, he could be regarded as changing history, and the Chinese compatriots also had an extra place to live, this is a complete Chinese regime!

At eight o'clock in the morning, the square of Dazheng Palace was already crowded with people waving flags.

Under the leadership of Liang Luyi, all the high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom began to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, and then worship the two ancestors of Yan and Huang. In the strict atmosphere, the national flag of the Xia Kingdom was raised, and the Phoenix Flag was raised.

Liang Luyi had another exciting conversation, and in the cheers of all the staff, the Xia Kingdom was officially established, and Chen Xuan was also excited and honored.

The founding of the country was naturally indispensable for military parades.

At 12 o'clock at noon, after Feng Gu asked for instructions and Liang Luyi agreed, more than 100 planes of all kinds formed a neat formation and roared over Huaxia Square, causing bursts of cheers and cheers.

As soon as the plane formation passed, there was a thunderous footsteps, neat and powerful, sonorous sound, in the performance of the military band, the honor guard composed of more than 100 people walked with neat and firm steps, and the thunderous footsteps hit the hearts of everyone present.

Xia Guo's army uniforms were green, navy blue, and air force white, and the three representatives of the navy, army and air force walked in the front, with neat clothing, neat formations and steps, which had a great visual impact, and the sound of the scene was quiet all of a sudden.

The guard of honor is composed of outstanding representatives selected by various armies, and its movements are neatly changed with the commander's command, and no matter from which angle it is considered, the biggest feature is that it is neat, which is both murderous and pleasing to the eye.

The guard of honor is followed by the army's squadrons, and these squadrons are divided into ordinary army soldiers, artillery troops, scouts, engineers, logistics troops, automobile troops and other military branches, with the same high morale and the same neat and sonorous.

After that, there were the squadrons of the Navy and the Air Force, one after another which seemed to have no end, endlessly, impacting everyone, and the oncoming murderous aura made people feel stagnant.

The most visually striking is the artillery and armored units, all kinds of artillery 60 per square, towed by trucks, a row of four, a total of 15 neat horizontal rows, artillery a total of 8, 37mm, 45mm, 75mm, 105mm and 150mm mountain artillery.

The 105mm and 150mm cannons are the most impactful, and under the traction of the truck, the long barrel points obliquely into the blue sky, ready to fire, as if it can burst out at any time with earth-shattering combat power.

As soon as the appearance of these steel monsters emitting black smoke caused a great commotion, the whole ground began to tremble, and the faces of the Western countries that had been seen as jokes began to change, and the Japanese representatives turned even more pale.

You must know that there are only a handful of countries in the world that have their own chariot troops, and the newly established Xia Kingdom, although it does not know how powerful it is, but it already has the prototype of a modern army.

Chen Xuan had the opportunity to look at the people around him at this time, and only then did he find that these overseas Chinese leaders around him were already crying silently, at this moment, they are no longer Chinese outcasts, they have their own country, and they can finally raise their eyebrows in Nanyang, how difficult it is!

Chen Xuan did not attend the state banquet, he sneaked away after the military parade, if he was present, it would inevitably affect the authority of the new regime of the Xia State, because the people at the top of the entire pyramid knew who was the real master of the Xia State.

"Yiyang, the Dutch are here again."

As soon as Chen Xuan returned to his manor in Jinling City, Gu Weijun, Du Yuesheng and Zhao Xuechu followed.

"Shaochuan, you tell the Dutch that our bottom line is 3 million oceans, and there will be no more than a cent, they can sell it if they want to, and if they don't want us to take it ourselves!"

It turns out that the appetite of the Xia Kingdom is not just as simple as the existing three large islands, and the various uprisings in the remaining territory of the Dutch are already surging, and there is naturally the shadow of the Xia Kingdom behind it.

The Dutch are invincible, and they have been driven to the only few coastal cities, and the destruction is only overnight, and how can Britain, France and other countries now be in the mood to offend Chen Xuan because of the affairs of the Netherlands, a down-and-out country.

So the Dutch colonists were tragic, even in a few coastal cities, they would be put cold shots from time to time, not to mention managing the city, I don't know when they were killed, the conditional Dutch nobles had already run back to China, and there were some colonial officials and troops left, who wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, I don't know who gave them a bad idea, and sold the rest of the place to Xia Guo at a price, and there have been several rounds of negotiations.

"The Dutch have agreed, but they have the conditions to ensure that the colonial officials and troops will not be robbed of their wealth from Shanghai, and that they can do business in the Xia Kingdom, and as for the remaining cities, they want to retain extraterritoriality!"

"No way! Tell them that living in the Xia Kingdom must strictly abide by the laws of the Xia Kingdom, and we can guarantee the safety of their lives and property, as for any concessions and extraterritoriality, don't mention it, you tell them that those uprisings are not just Chinese organizations, if it takes a long time, we cannot guarantee their interests and safety! Dying and struggling, I don't know what to say! ”

Chen Xuan couldn't help but scold, these Dutch colonists are indeed a little ignorant, if Xia Guo had exerted his strength, they would have been driven to the sea to feed the fish, what else to talk about.

As for the Dutch colonizers' threat to sell to the Japanese people, Chen Xuan is not worried, as long as the Japanese people dare to accept it, Chen Xuan does not mind touching the Japanese people before Qingdao, although today's industrial technology is not as good as the Japanese country, but it can't stop the large scale of the industry, see who can't withstand it first!

"Okay, this matter will be done as you say, and the matter over there in Qingdao, the Germans still do not change their words and do not accept the conditions you put forward."

"If you don't die in the Yellow River, it's a pity that those German battleships, the Germans are really dead-eyed, this matter depends on the future development, but the various theaters must not relax, notify the Chief of General Staff of Jiang (Jiang Fangzhen), and all major theaters will step up training and take wartime preparation as a requirement!"

"Yiyang, do you want to fight?"

"The time is not right, now that the country has just stabilized, if we brave the world's condemnation and send troops to the north, we will inevitably be spurned by the people of the whole country, let Shanghai prepare, if the Japanese attack Qingdao, they will launch a national public opinion offensive, we must show our own attitude, and at the same time hold President Yuan of Beiyang accountable, see what they do!"

"It's really embarrassing, two countries are fighting on our turf, but we have nothing to do."

"It won't be too long, and one day, we will make these countries that bullied us pay the price, and let them remember the price for a lifetime!"

Chen Xuan's face was not good-looking, and he said in a deep voice.

"Brother Xuechu, your task is the heaviest, I estimate that the European war may break out within a month or two, taking advantage of the opportunity of today's large increase in orders, we must once again achieve industrial upgrading, you will sort out the Nanyang and domestic industries, as long as the civilian factories have little impact on us, try to transfer them to rich businessmen around the country, so that we can also get rid of some of the burden of lack of talent, and vigorously develop our heavy industry and high-precision technology industry, this time the Germans are bleeding, we must take advantage of this opportunity, let our cars , aircraft, combat vehicles, radio technology, etc., do not rely on imported spare parts, and can also be produced by themselves! ”

"There is no problem with this, we have roughly sorted out almost, we plan to have Harbin, Changchun, Anshan, Lanfang Island and Blue Lake City, a total of five large steel plants and supporting smelting equipment, automobile manufacturing in Ulaanbaatar, Harbin, Jiujiang, Anshan, Shanghai, Fuzhou, Blue Lake City, Fangzhang Island and Lanfang Island, a total of nine, five aircraft factories, seven arsenals, of which Harbin and Anshan and Lanfang Island are the largest, shipyards have six, Among them, the shipyards in Mawei and Nanyang Naval Base in Fujian Province mainly build warships, the others are commercial civilian ships, and there are hundreds of machinery factories of all kinds, large and small, all over Nanyang and places in China that we can control. ”

"How's the production capacity now?"

"According to incomplete statistics, our annual steel output reached 1.3 million tons, but special steel has always been our short board, this time to get the German smelting technology, I believe that in many aspects we can be self-sufficient or even exported, the improved monthly production capacity of 360,000 rifles, if full production, tripling is not a problem, the monthly production capacity of all kinds of cannons is 1600, but also to limit production, otherwise the production capacity is not only this, the monthly production capacity of all kinds of aircraft is 350, 850 cars, We can still only produce warships of less than 5,000 tons, and now the Mawei Factory is developing 8,000-ton battleships, and it is reported that the keel has been laid, and merchant ships can also build 10,000 tons. ”
