Along with James, there were representatives of Yue, Qin, the Chinese Empire, Japan and other countries, as well as envoys from the Kingdom of Lu, the Seven Alliance, the United States, and European countries. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Foreign Minister Li Jingfa was busy at this time, and he originally thought that there was not much to do, but now it is fine, and even the time for eating has been compressed as much as possible; The envoys of each country had to meet with them, some of them several times, to communicate and discuss important issues, and even to accompany them to meet with Premier Song Shijie.

The envoys of these countries and organizations had come to inquire about the news and to grasp the movements of the Han Kingdom, and Foreign Minister Li Jingfa did his best to avoid misunderstanding them about the kingdom and the empire, and he did his best to entertain them.

After discussions between Zhang Wei and Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang, it was agreed that various countries should send consuls and set up consulates in Chang'an City, mainly to deal with some economic and trade matters, and that major matters must be resolved in Beijing.

Earl James visited Chang'an City for a few days, and was full of praise for the environment and climate here, but the only thing he was not satisfied with was that the office space of the Government Council and the General Staff was too simple, and the office headquarters of the Government Council and the General Staff had to be re-established, and he proposed to build a high-class Prime Minister's Residence.

On the morning of May 1, from the dawn of the morning, the process of establishing the kingdom began, from the sacrifice to the heavens to all kinds of gods, all by a Taoist sent by the Taoist sect in charge, Song Shijie and Chen Yifeng and other high-ranking military and political officials continued to worship according to their requirements.

At 9:18 a.m., Earl James read out the decree on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Xia Empire: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister; The land of the South American theater of war, bordering two oceans and hanging alone; Its mountains and rivers are beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and it is a habitable place for Han people; In order to benefit the people and share the prosperity, it was canonized as the Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, and the Government Council and the General Staff Headquarters were set up to guard the country on behalf of me. Chin this! “

Indicate the time below the holy decree and stamped with a large seal: Fengtian carries the treasure of the Xia Empire of Heaven.

Then, Earl James read out the edict appointing Song Shijie as the prime minister of the government council of the Han Kingdom and Chen Yifeng as the chief of the general staff of the Han Kingdom, and awarded the official seals respectively.

Anyway, it's done according to the Chinese tradition, everyone doesn't understand, it's confusing to watch, and it feels very lively, and the Taoist chief does something wrong.

Premier Song Shijie delivered a speech, thanking His Majesty the Emperor for his trust, and he will definitely dedicate himself to public service and benefit the party.

Chief of General Staff Chen Yifeng said that he would protect one side on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and establish relations of good-neighborliness, friendship, equality, and mutual assistance with other countries.

The envoys of various countries were not interested in the content of the decree or in the testimonials made by the two of them, and neither of them would take it seriously, and whoever took it seriously was a fool; They were just curious about the fact that the Xia Emperor had sent a white Jewish man to read the decree, and some of them couldn't understand its purpose.

And many local military and political officials are very envious of Earl James, a white Jewish man has won the title of earl of the empire by virtue of his personal contribution to the empire, it seems that the Xia Empire has not blocked the passage for their ascension, this is the goal they strive for, as long as they work hard, they still have a chance.

The envoys who participated in the founding of the Han Kingdom did not leave immediately, but were invited to participate in the next day's reward and canonization conference.

The families of the thirty Japanese mercenary brigade commanders and co-captains who accepted the knighthood were all taken to Chang'an City by airship, so that their families could share their honors together, and luxurious mansions and large tracts of fertile land were allocated to each brigade station, and their families lived in the Han Kingdom in the future, and these brigade commanders had to lead the army to the northern theater of operations to be stationed and get together with their families.

The families of other officers and soldiers who have obtained immigration qualifications will not be able to gradually live in the Han Kingdom until the troops change their guards, and they have already been assigned a place for them to go, and they believe that the kingdom will arrange their families, and they are not worried about this.

On May 2, a reward and canonization meeting was held in Changle Square, which was attended by a large number of people, including envoys and representatives of various countries, officers and soldiers who were awarded awards, some family members of officers, and officers at and above the regimental level of active mercenaries, and many people watching the excitement, which filled the entire Changle Square.

First of all, the Earl of James announced the canonization list, and personally issued knighthood certificates to the 10 brigade commanders who had obtained the 3rd rank viscount, and gave the house deeds and title deeds.

Chen Yifeng then issued knighthood certificates to the 20 co-captains who had obtained the 2nd rank baron, as well as the house deeds and title deeds given to the mansions.

Chen Yifeng delivered a brief speech: "Congratulations on obtaining the noble title of the empire, and I hope that you will make persistent efforts on the battlefield in the future, make new contributions to the empire, and live up to the honor of the imperial noble title; To tell you the truth, I envy you, so far, I have not been canonized by His Majesty the Emperor, and I need to pay tribute to you when I meet you. “

The brigade commanders were given a large estate and a lavish mansion in a nearby city; The Wing Captains were given a large plantation and a luxurious mansion in a nearby county.

Since the local governments confiscated a lot of the assets of the fleeing whites, the government still has a lot of property such as homes, plantations, and estates, and some of them are used to reward the soldiers who have made great achievements in the war, and to motivate more mercenaries to fight bravely for the empire on the battlefield in the future.

Then, Cao Jiachuan read out the list of military personnel who had been promoted for their military exploits, and only read out the list of cadres who had been promoted to the battalion level and above, and the list of cadres at the bottom level was announced by the brigades and regiments after they returned.

The most conspicuous of the winners was Goro Iga, a heavy machine gunner of the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Brigade Regiment, who eliminated more than 1,000 Venezuelan officers and soldiers with a heavy machine gun and awarded 50,000 summer dollars, and the names of 18 mercenary officers and soldiers with awards of more than 10,000 summer dollars were read out, and the money from the Imperial Empire was distributed on the spot.

The list of officers and soldiers with a bonus of less than 19,000 yuan will be announced by each brigade after it returns, but most of them already know the amount of their reward.

The participants from various countries felt that the Xia Empire was indeed wealthy, and there were such rich rewards for such a small battle, so it was no wonder that the officers and soldiers could work hard for the Xia Empire.

The generous reward also made the white mixed-race mercenary officers who came to the meeting hot-eyed; However, they knew that a large part of these military exploits were obtained by eliminating their comrades, which in turn inspired them to destroy more enemies on the battlefield in the future, and they would also be rewarded so richly.

It seems that as the Xia Empire preached, if a mercenary only lives on wages, he is an incompetent and useless soldier, and the reward he gets by fighting with real guns and ammunition will be a hundred or a thousand times the amount of salary.

Earl James finally made a personal speech: "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is James, and I am a Jew from the Xia Empire; Many years ago, I was still very young, and like many people, I was full of confusion about life, and by chance I met Your Majesty, and it was Your Majesty who enlightened me and allowed me to find the direction of life. After so many years of hard work, the original establishment of Bank of Asia has achieved rapid development; At that time, His Majesty encouraged me to believe in myself and have strength in my heart, and that Bank of Asia would one day become a towering tree in the financial world.

What I want to say to you is that you will find the right goal, believe in yourself, and persevere, and you will definitely bear fruit one day; I hope that when the time comes, I will come back to canonize you on behalf of Your Majesty, and I hope that at that time, everyone will have a title that surpasses me. Opportunities are equal for everyone, and the Xia Empire does not discriminate against anyone, whether he is Chinese, white, or Jewish, providing the same upward path for every subject of the empire, it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity and whether you can persevere. I'm done talking, long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! “

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Changle Square released 10,000 white pigeons.

People shouted slogans, and the whole square became a sea of joy.
