After the funeral, Eliza, who had already been declared on February 8, had begun to perform her duties as king. But the coronation, after deliberations, was postponed to June next year, before which she would visit every region of the Commonwealth.

The reason why it was chosen in June is also because the weather in London is only slightly better in June.

Zhou Nan left London the day after the funeral and traveled to Brussels, Belgium.

As a representative of Switzerland, he participated in the NATO enlargement meeting as an observer.

The curtain of the Cold War was opened, and the Soviet Union exerted enormous pressure on Western Europe on all fronts. The current Soviet Union is not the Russia of a few decades, it is a well-deserved pole of the world, and Western Europe is like a trembling little girl in front of him.

If it weren't for the United States' support for the establishment of NATO, Western Europe would not have dared to confront the Soviet Union at all.

At the end of the meeting a few days, Greece and Turkey joined NATO, and West Germany was authorized to rearm them with weapons.

The punishment of West Germany in World War II was thus gone.

The period from '48 to '52 was four years of rapid economic development in West Germany. In June of '51, West Germany went from a dying country to a 39-year-old economy.

The economic development of the whole of Europe has entered the fast lane, and even the United States has followed suit and reaped a lot of development dividends.

Take Volkswagen as an example, today's Volkswagen German factory can produce 100,000 Beetles, 20,000 Volkswagen military vehicles, and 20,000 Volkswagen Leones every month.

Volkswagen Leon has been popular all over the world because of its exquisite workmanship and simple shape full of science and technology.

This Mercedes-Benz flagship model of the 90s, in this era, is simply a bombshell, which shocked the world's automotive industry.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the technology and technology of this era, the current production speed cannot keep up with the sales, and the order has been booked until two years later.

In the midst of the cries of a wolf in the automobile industry, Ford of the United States finally relied on the pressure exerted by the United States to obtain permission to form an American joint venture with Volkswagen to produce Leone models in the United States, preparing to occupy the world's high-end automobile market.

Volkswagen quickly relied on sufficient orders to become one of the top three in the world's automotive industry.

In 51 years, Volkswagen's German plants, South China plants, and American factories produced a total of 2.6 million cars, with a turnover of more than four billion dollars.

However, most of Volkswagen's profits were taken by Britain and the United States. Britain's Rolls-Royce alone has a 40 percent stake.

Then Volkswagen also bore a large share of the war reparations, which were taken by the United States. So far, Volkswagen's loan has not been repaid.

However, these loans are only trivial to the public nowadays.

After Nanhua Volkswagen started production in 49, its current annual production and sales volume has reached 700,000 units, seizing almost half of the car share in Asia.

The Beetle is an affordable family car, the Volkswagen Jeep is the favorite military vehicle of the militaries of various countries, and the Volkswagen Leone is the most preferred luxury car among government leaders and wealthy people.

In Japan, Nanhua Volkswagen received more than 50,000 orders, directly suppressing Japanese automakers and making them unable to resist.

Because large consortia were broken up, machinery and equipment were dismantled and compensated, and they had to bear huge war reparations, Japan is now in a more difficult situation than Germany.

Compared to another life, their days were much more difficult.

Moreover, because of South China's resolute opposition, the Blue Party did not dare to sign a reconciliation agreement with Japan, let alone cooperate with it, and the take-off South China has completely replaced Japan's Asian economic status in another life.

However, Nanhua has also been criticized as a dog leg of Europe and the United States, but Nanhua is bent on developing commerce and industry, and the importance of the political level has always been ranked behind.

The development of Nanhua has allowed Europe and the United States to follow behind and obtain countless dividends, and the technical support and financial support of the United States have been duly rewarded.

This also allowed Nanhua to receive strong support from the American consortium, and the support of the American consortium means political support.

However, Zhou Nan was personally ignored by all classes, whether it was Britain and the United States, or other regions, they were reluctant to emphasize Zhou Nan's role.

Only the Chinese can know the role played by Zhou Nan in this development.

Zhou Nan doesn't care about this kind of attention, he cares more about the benefits that the Chinese country can obtain.

In '52, Eliza made a full range of visits to Commonwealth countries, and the only British area she did not visit was Hong Kong.

What made Zhou Nan feel funny was that her first decision after ascending the throne was firmly opposed by her grandmother, Queen Mary, and even forced her to cancel the idea of changing the name of the Windsor Dynasty to the Mountbatten Dynasty with the threat of canceling her queen inheritance.

Of course, this was just a temptation for her, and a way to dispel her husband Philip's thoughts.

Before Philippe joined the royal family, he changed the surname of his uncle, the Earl of Mountbatten. So he discussed with the Earl of Mountbatten and wanted to change the name of the Windsor dynasty to the Mountbatten dynasty.

Queen Mary, of course, was against this and forced Parliament to pass legislation prohibiting Mountbatten from becoming a synonym for the royal family.

Eliza wants perfection everywhere, and she even helps Philip to cover up and destroy the evidence. But she didn't know that perfection everywhere was just hypocrisy.

Her first move in office made her grandmother disgruntled, and Congress also had a lot of opinions about her. If it weren't for the fact that the current Prime Minister Winston Churchill had always maintained the glory of the royal family, Parliament would even want to limit the power of the royal family.

In March of '53, Queen Mary died, and the royal family no longer had anyone who could restrain Eliza.

Queen Elizabeth has always been a good person, she is kind to everyone, and she does her best to maintain the glory of the royal family.

In June of '53, Eliza officially ascended the throne and became queen, and on the second day of her accession to the throne, the Order of the Garter was awarded to two people.

One is Churchill and the other is Zhou Nan.

However, the day after she awarded the medal to Zhou Nan, she restated the royal family's requirements for the awarding of honors to nobles in the future, and the conditions were much harsher.

This is just one of them.

The other is the restriction of power against foreign nobles. Although Zhou Nan received the Order of the Garter, the highest order in the United Kingdom, he now has no outside power.

Zhou Nan didn't have any opinion on this, because he didn't care about Britain at all, and he didn't care about British power.

But the next day, the day after Zhou Nan received the Order of the Garter, and before he left the United Kingdom, the Queen of England issued a clause to correct the British heir, asking Parliament to cancel the clause on Marita's second heir, and list Marita as the fourth heir after Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

This correction was supported by Churchill and passed by the House of Lords and Houses of Commons.

Logically, there is nothing wrong with this clause, nothing wrong, but it hurts Marita the most emotionally.

In September of '53, a sad Marita left England and came to Jonas Farm again after four years.

But this time, only Audrey was at home, but Zhou Nan went to Nanhua to hold a public ceremony at the University of South China before she came to Switzerland.

For the past five years, the University of South China has been the only university in the world that has not been formally transparent to the outside world. In addition to the opening of the school season for students and their parents, even journalists who want to interview the university and enter the university area need to apply.

There have been various speculations about this university, and there is even a suspicion that nuclear weapons research is being carried out in a corner of the university.

Of course, this is slander, and the world's major countries are also very strict in monitoring Nanhua, and conducting nuclear tests requires a large amount of uranium, a large number of centrifuges to separate uranium, and a large amount of electricity is consumed, and Nanhua does not have any basic advantages.

Although the University of South China did not conduct nuclear tests, its advantages in other areas have gradually become apparent.

For example, the School of Automotive Industry has sent two batches of more than 2,000 automotive professionals to Volkswagen.

The School of Computer Science, under the leadership of Turing, has developed a computer with transistors that can calculate 10,000 times a second.

The University of South China has also collaborated with Princeton University to conduct research on the architecture of computers. The basis for this research is the research results of Nanhua Institute of Electronic Science and Technology in integrated circuits.

Although Zhou Nan is not clear about the development of science and technology, he does not understand it. But for IC, he also knows that it is based on silicon.

From the very beginning of its research, the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology has been on the right path, and it has also made technological breakthroughs earlier than the Americans.

However, the foundation of Nanhua is still too weak, although it has gone further than the Americans in the idea of integrated circuits, but the process and the production of electronic components still need to rely on American technology.

However, because it is a joint research and is mainly based on Nanhua Institute of Electronic Science and Technology, Nanhua Institute of Electronic Science and Technology has more priority and patent rights than Americans in terms of technical rights.

Because of the active promotion in this regard, the development of microelectronics has also been highly valued by the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology, and after Nanhua has been authorized by the United States, it is also actively researching related technologies and accelerating the pace of catching up with the Americans.

In terms of medical school, the first batch of graduates was trained, but most of this batch of graduates did not make it to hospitals, but went to work in the laboratories of three pharmaceutical companies.

It's funny to say, but it's also sad.

Novartis, Roche, Bayer, these three pharmaceutical companies now have a close relationship with Zhou Nan, they have been studying the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions prescribed by Zhou Nan for three years, and have not been able to study what ingredients are in these prescriptions and how to produce useful effects on the human body.

However, whether it is a Chinese medicine for refining the body, or a Chinese medicine for health preservation, including Chinese medicine for aphrodisiac, it can exert an amazing effect, and no side effects have been found.

Traditional Chinese medicine, which was originally thought to be witch doctors, has been suppressed by Western medicine for decades. But now that the three pharmaceutical companies are making a fortune using traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, they are now turning their heads to promote, coupled with Zhou Nan's publicity, they have been quickly accepted by people all over the world.

In addition, the School of Architecture, the School of Humanities, the School of Law, the College of Teachers, etc., have provided a large number of basic talents for Nanhua.

By 53 years, the enrollment of Nanhua University has exceeded 10,000, and the number of students in the university has exceeded 30,000.

In its 48-year history, South China's total industrial output was less than $2 billion. But by '53, according to the newly implemented GDP algorithm, South China's GDP reached $8.2 billion.

Excluding Eastern countries with different calculations, South China ranks 10th in the world's economic rankings, surpassing Australia and behind Italy and Canada.

In the original history, Japan's economy recovered rapidly due to the support of the United States, and its GDP exceeded 10 billion US dollars, ranking among the top 10 in the world. But now, their economy is only six billion dollars, and their population is three times larger than that of South China.

In other words, South China has replaced Japan as a new force in the world economy. Relying on trade and exports, Nanhua really began to rise.

Because the government occupies a large amount of state-owned property, the South China government is also extraordinarily rich, and the investment in infrastructure construction and education is increasing.

Relying on government grants, coupled with donations from all walks of life, including the proceeds from the research results of major laboratories, the education fund of Nanhua University has entered the forefront of the world's universities.

There are more than 100 universities in the United States, but there is only one university in South China.

Because of the hundreds of millions of funds transferred, Zhou Nan is also known as the most powerful person in South China, and his influence even exceeds that of Pan Zhicheng.

Moreover, the prime minister and the speaker of the parliament can only be re-elected for one term at most, but Zhou Nan's position as president is unlimited.

Therefore, their influence will weaken after stepping down, but Zhou Nan's influence will only increase.

Even Kelvin, because he was the plenipotentiary of Zhou Nan and was responsible for the allocation of funds, is now known as one of the most influential figures in Nanhua.

Now he is not urging Zhou Nan to change positions, but Zhou Nan is already ready to let him to a new position.

Through the sale of motorcycles, Zhou Nan earned a large amount of cash, in addition to shares and assets, he now has more than 100 million dollars in cash in his hands, and the conditions for setting up an investment fund are ripe.

It's just that Zhou Nan hasn't considered whether to set up a private equity fund or a public fund.

It was the end of September when he returned to Switzerland from South China, and Marita was still living at Jonas Farm.

Recently, she and Audrey, who has graduated from college, have been busy preparing for a TV station, and it seems that it is not so difficult for her, a princess, to break the monopoly of the BBC and obtain a landing license in the UK.

(The update is late, sorry everyone.) If you want to write about personal feelings and careers in the context of the big era, and you have to integrate too many things into a short space, this chapter is a bit dry. ）
