The scale of the ceremonial ceremony held in Portsmouth Harbour was not large, but it was able to "show the majesty and glory of the British Empire, and the officials of the embassy of the Republic of China government in Britain were all full of red faces, and they were very satisfied with it, saying that this concise, bright and grand welcome ceremony was extremely rare in the two years since the global economic crisis broke out, and the arrogant British had rarely had this kind of courtesy and enthusiasm for Asian countries before.

An Yi speculated maliciously that such a reception was likely due to the fact that the delegation said before leaving the country that it would purchase two naval ships in the United Kingdom.
After a short rest, the delegation continued its journey to London under the greeting of the hosts, and when the ship arrived at the Corey East Wharf on the north bank of the Thames, it was once again warmly welcomed by the British side, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the London government.
At noon the next day, the British side and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs jointly held a reception luncheon, and An Yi, who can speak fluent English, became the object that the British people are willing to contact, not only because An Yi is a respectable general who fought several classic battles, but also because An Yi is not short of money, and the pervasive British media have long introduced An Yi's wealth and the revitalization of industry and commerce to the people, including a large number of special articles written by three British reporters who are far away in China.
Last year, with the National Socialist Party and ** in the German election to obtain a large number of votes, the current German government against reparations, the people's demand for the cancellation of the Versailles contract is getting louder and louder, since the beginning of this year, with the European big 6 including Austria's Estellet Credit Bank, Germany's Dana Bank and other countries' largest banks have gone bankrupt, British banks that have a lot of debt and shares in these banks have also gone bankrupt, this summer, investors have sold off a lot of British pong, British foreign exchange reserves have quickly collapsed. Unemployment remains high and the UK economy is in the middle of winter. At this time, An Yi came to the UK with a large amount of money, which naturally brought people a lot of reverie and expectations.
The first stop of the delegation was the Royal Sixth Army Shock College, located 48 kilometers west of London, which covers an area of about 3.5 square kilometers and has a group of buildings of different styles that skillfully combine the history, traditions and achievements of the British Royal Sixth Army and the colonial culture. The palace-like exhibition area is richly displayed, among which the items of the Battle of Waterloo that defeated Napoleon show the great sense of honor of the British ** team.
According to the British accompanying officials, the cadets who are studying at the academy include the Royal Artillery, the Royal Engineer Corps, the Royal Signal Corps, the Royal Armored Corps, and other majors, and the cadets selected to enter the academy come from British government-run and private schools and ordinary schools. Those who achieve excellent grades go directly to the Royal Military Academy.
In order to train talents at different levels and in different positions in the Maoist army, the military academy has set up preparatory courses, standard military classes, and regular professional officer classes, and has also set up some short-term courses for professional soldiers, local armies, and volunteer officers. The compulsory courses are infantry squad tactics, map reading, communications, weapons handling, platoon, first aid, logistics, organization and command, and language skills. Soldiers recruited from the regular army and secondary school students recruited from the localities must first undergo specialized studies in the general education courses in the 6 military training class before they can be officially enrolled in the military academy before they can be officially enrolled. The main content of the course is strategic studies, social and military affairs, national defense affairs, military technology, foreign languages, and other theoretical studies.
The overall purpose of the school is to develop qualified leaders who are suitable for junior commanding positions. The purpose of the school is to cultivate basic leadership and management skills, discipline and sense of responsibility. To improve physical fitness, the initial standard is that everyone must learn to reason, shine shoes, change clothes, clean the room, and accept constant inspection calls, etc.1 There are both listening to lectures in the classroom, exercising on the sports field, and field drills in various terrains and different areas, and after graduation, the officer cadets become official officers and start their military careers.
Although the Royal Military Academy of the United Kingdom cultivates junior commanders, it has a huge impact on the British army and society. The members of the delegation were deeply impressed by its perfect facilities, strict system and scientific teaching arrangements.
After the visit, An Yi sighed and benefited a lot, compared with this world-famous military school, the gap between the domestic military school and this world-famous school is not only the infrastructure and scale, the most important difference lies in the key aspects such as educational philosophy, scientific methods and knowledge, this visit has had an extremely important impact on An Yi's future military school education.
After the delegation came to the UK, it was welcomed by international students and people from all walks of life in the UK as it was in Germany and France. In terms of degree and number of people, even surpassing, the Savo Hotel adjacent to the Thames River has always been a favorite place for dignitaries and celebrities from all over the world to stay, the hotel has become lively because of the stay of the Chinese affairs delegation, representatives of international students and people from all walks of life have come to visit and greet, young and handsome, outstanding achievements, young and rich An Yi has once again become the focus of people's pursuit
Over the past few years, the number of students and businessmen who have come to study in Britain has been increasing day by day, and the status and influence of Britain, the old European imperialist and the world's largest colonizer, in the minds of the Chinese people is no less than that of the United States.
Hu Jiyang followed his uncle to travel through society since he was a child, and has an extraordinary interest in religion and history, under the influence of his uncle, he met with Master Hongyi and Songjian Zhenren, a well-known figure in the two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism, and at the age of nine followed his uncle who also studied and business, he crossed the ocean to Europe, Germany, France, Italy, Britain and other countries lived in fourteen, and after his uncle's death, he returned to his hometown in China alone to keep filial piety, and lived in seclusion for two years. But he was disheartened by the country's weakness and civil war, and fell into painful meditation all day long, with no place to return.
By chance, he now gave up his differences in Hubei Taoism, which had been deeply prejudiced and had never been in contact with each other. Reintegration, many lay children quietly left the famous mountain "rushed to the old Nanchang, surprised and followed to explore the reason, in Heyang Zhenwuguan close friend E Zongke recommended to see the Taoist heir Lao Shoudao, after a deep talk, Hu Jiyang seems to have a big understanding. At first sight, he became a year-old friend, and under the movement of the old way, he resolutely joined the Anyi Group, which is determined to revitalize the nation and rejuvenate China.
Because of Hu Jiyang's difficulty
"Xin Yihuo and the advantages of English, French, German and other Chinese languages, according to An Yi's requirements. Follow... The second batch of overseas students will go to the UK to study and undertake secret tasks such as collecting European scientific and technological military intelligence, tracking the direction of scientific and technological exhibitions in European countries, and managing and supervising international students.
In the first half of the year, Ou Yaoting came to the UK based on a paper on "penicillin" reprinted in an American scientific magazine in 29, and it was with the full assistance of Hu Jiyang that he found the owner of the paper, the talented Dr. Alexander Fleming. At this time, Fleming was unable to find a technology to purify penicillin, and almost gave up the penicillin research that he thought would "play an important role" for him, so Ou Yaoting easily bought Fleming's research materials and technology patents, paid a small patent transfer fee of $10,000, and asked the relevant departments to notarize and then fund Fleming's research funds of $5,000, encouraging Fleming to continue to conduct in-depth research on penicillin after establishing his own laboratory.
Through this transaction, Ou Yaoting got to know Winston Churchill, who had a close relationship with Fleming. At this time, Churchill withdrew from the shadow cabinet due to disagreement with Conservative Party leader Stanley Cannon Dewinne, and although he retained his position as a member of parliament, he had to make a living by writing and writing news commentaries. Out of political sensitivity, Ou Yaoting generously sponsored Churchill's political funds of $10,000, which quickly won Churchill's favor and recognition.
After returning to the United States, Ou Yaoting Xun sent his assistant to send all the valuable materials back to the Pharmaceutical Research Institute of Jiangnan Pharmaceutical Factory in China, and hired American chemists Sean and Drost to go to Lao Nanchang to carry out secret research. After three consecutive days of visits, An Yi took time to meet with Hu Jiyang, who had been waiting for a long time, and saw Hu Jiyang, who had achieved remarkable results after more than two years, An Yi was inexplicably excited, Hu Jiyang was also very excited to see An Yi who he admired and followed, and entered the room to talk for more than ten minutes, Hu Jiyang finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Brother Xian, there is something that Brother Fool took the liberty to ask, does Brother Xian know about the Wen family who live in San Francisco, USA?"
"Knowing some information, the information shows that the Wen family has a very wide range of production and operation, involved in food, catering, import and export trade, etc. Although it is not as influential as the Situ family with a Hongmen background, it is superior to the Situ family in terms of travel and wealth, and the old man of the Wen family has been very close to Zhang Xi and Mr. Ou in the past six months. Collaborated on a number of fronts: "What? When did you become interested in the Wen family? Is it possible that they also have a business in the UK? An Yi asked with a smile.
Hu Jiyang, who has a stable personality and is very deep in the city, has nothing to hide in front of An Yi, he snuffed out his cigarette butt and looked at An Yi with deep meaning:
"When Wen Paul, the eldest of the Wen family, came to London last month, Brother Fool met him at Mr. Ou's London branch, and at that time, the branch manager, Zhu Haiyi, was joking with Paul Wen, asking him why he didn't bring his wife? Wen Paul seemed very happy, and when he saw the arrival of the foolish brother, he didn't say anything about the Wen family's financial affairs in London, and after this guy left, Zhu Haiyi sighed at Wen Paul's wife, calling Wen Paul's wife Ou Chuer the only beauty he saw in his life, and said enviously that Wen Paul is a good boy, and in the future, the co-head of Wen and Ou may be none other than Wen Paul. The foolish brother was surprised in his heart. But he still quietly asked Zhu Haiyi if he was mistaken? Zhu Haiyi said very proudly that at the end of last year, he went to the United States to report to Mr. Ou, and lived in Ou's house for three days. ”
"Are you sure?" An Yi's face suddenly turned pale.
Hu Jiyang nodded sadly: "Zhu Haiyi's ancestors moved to Nanyang, his father is an accountant of Mr. Ou's Sin Chew Pharmaceutical Factory, Zhu Haiyi has followed Mr. Ou since he was sixteen years old, because of his talent, intelligence, diligence and loyalty. Mr. Ou funded him to enter Harvard in the United States for further study, and the year before last he applied for American citizenship and transferred to London as a branch manager, responsible for Mr. Ou's material procurement and financial investment management in the United Kingdom, this guy seems to be polite and enthusiastic, but he always mentions that he will not have deep friendships, only get along well with the foolish brother, talk about everything in the south and the north, he will not deceive the foolish brother in such a big matter, "Brother Xian, I know the relationship between you and Miss Ou, and I also know that Brother Xian is engaged to Miss Ou after being assassinated." But the things in the world are not clear, you are difficult to have time to lead the army to fight all the year round, and Miss Ou has traveled to the United States to study abroad
Originally, the foolish brother shouldn't talk too much about this kind of thing, but the virtuous brother is the chief of the foolish brother, and secondly, you and I are the sons and nephews of Uncle Dao, and they are like brothers to each other. Maybe there are more reasons why it is difficult for the foolish brother to know, the foolish brother is in England and it is difficult to find out, but fortunately, the virtuous brother is about to go to the United States in a few days, and when he sees Miss Ou, he may understand everything, , virtuous brother, what's wrong with you? ”
An Yi shook his head sadly: "It's nothing. The younger brother has also received a report from the United States before, and he has always had a negative attitude towards this matter, and he does not want to talk about it to anyone, but now it seems that "Brother Hu, thank you!" Brother will take care of it. ”
"That's good, foolish brother believes in your abilities."
Hu Jiyang saw that An Yi's mental state was so bad, he thought about it and stood up: "Brother Xian is quite tired from running around for a few days, let's rest early, Brother Fool will come back tomorrow night, a lot of information needs to be submitted."
"Okay, I'll send it from below, my brother won't be far away."
An Yi sent Hu Jiyang away and closed the door. Holding his head and thinking bitterly.
Shen Fengdao knew An Yi's feelings, sighed secretly, went out to the bar downstairs to get two bottles of foreign wine, sat opposite An Yi, and drank with An Yi without saying a word.
In less than an hour, the two bottles of wine were drunk, Shen Fengdao stood up and wanted to go downstairs to buy wine, the phone rang suddenly, Shen Fengdao, who didn't know English, hesitated, and saw that An Yi didn't mean to answer the phone at all, so he picked up the receiver after thinking about it. After listening for a moment, he politely asked the other party to wait, covered the microphone and turned to An Yi, and reported in a low voice: "Someone at the main desk downstairs wants to see you." ”
"Nope!"
An Yi didn't raise his head and lit a cigarette.
"She said her surname is Feng, her name is Feng Jieyun, she studied in Cambridge, and she is an old friend with you." Shen Fengdao knew who Feng Jieyun was, but he still reported it tamely.
The cigarette in An Yi's hand suddenly fell on the blanket, a handsome face dyed red by alcohol had a complicated and unpredictable expression, lowered his head and picked up the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray, slowly walked towards Shen Fengdao, and took the microphone in his hand.
