Bai Nan actually didn't expect that the establishment of a country could be so fast. After the name of the Tang Republic www.biquge.info was established, the national flag was also established. This is a black dragon flag on a red background with the characteristics of Chinese art, and it is also a compromise product, after all, the dragon is widely accepted as the totem of the Chinese nation, and the Qing Dynasty at this time did not use the yellow dragon flag.

As for such a thing as the national anthem, it is not something that can be made in a while.

There was no printing and dyeing equipment, and completely relying on painters and female workers with art skills and ingenuity, the colony rushed to produce eight dragon flags of different sizes, which were hung on the flagpole of the colony early the next morning. There was no official founding ceremony, at least not now, people just spread the word, and the colony officially established a country - the country named the Tang Republic.

The members of the Decision Committee are officially promoted to the Cabinet of the Republic, Zhao Daling serves as president, the Cabinet does not have a prime minister, and the other members are still called cabinet members and belong to various ministries and commissions. The Military Bureau of Tig is the Ministry of National Defense, and Zhao Daling continues to serve as the Minister of Security, and Zhao Daling also serves as Minister of Security and Minister of Finance. The Ministry of Security is in charge of public security, and since Los Angeles is temporarily under military control, the Ministry of Security is a fictitious bureau. Zheng He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs; Wang Jinghong served as Minister of Commerce; Yao Weichun served as the Minister of Culture, Education and Propaganda; Liang Zhenhai served as Minister of Industry; Xue Yue served as Minister of Agriculture; Bao Xun, the former manager of China Railway, served as the Minister of Communications; Liu Tian resigned from his military post and became Minister of Civil Affairs; Ye Baozao, who was once a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium of the Republic of China and the leader of Zhejiang Qianzhuang, was also Ye Qiuyi's father, and after showing his financial talents, he was also appointed as the governor of the central bank; Another head of the Confucius Institute, Ms. Yang Hui, a law graduate, became the president of the Supreme Court.

As a result, in fact, the structure of the decision-making committee has changed, and Senior Colonel Deng Xiyi and Major General Liu Fangwu, who were originally in the military, have taken the initiative to withdraw from the cabinet and concentrate on their own military tasks, while three new members have been added to the decision-making committee, bringing the number of members in the cabinet to 10, and President Zhao Daling also has the right of veto, in fact, holding the greatest power.

Originally, the newly appointed governor of the central bank, Ye Baozao, still wanted to take office as a new official and take advantage of this momentum to promote the market economy of the colonial points, such as creating a currency and promoting the private economy, but in the end he only began to make preparations. There are still a considerable number of people living on ships, and there is no housing solution, and food in the colonies, the most important necessity of life, is still in a state of scarcity, and if the market is opened for free distribution, it may exacerbate the food crisis, so before the food crisis is officially passed and everyone lives on land, the currency market cannot be truly implemented.

However, the plate-making of the currency has already begun. The basic circulation currency will naturally be based on paper money, and the comrades who are busy with the financial system in the modern crowd have directly copied the pictures on the soft sister coins, of course, the red old man's head is not suitable to continue to appear. Although it is paper money, the financial system to be implemented is still on the gold standard. With Chang Kaishen's gold reserve ships in the fleet of the Republic of China, and California is already a world-famous gold producer, if the trade is carried out smoothly, the supply of gold will definitely not be a problem. Therefore, the Tang Republic, which has a small population, can fully support a set of its own gold standard system.

The benchmark ten-dollar banknote can be exchanged for a 10-gram "dragon dollar" gold coin, and under the gold standard, the dragon dollar is actually the real currency, and the paper money is only a symbol.

All kinds of affairs began to make the big shots unable to separate, and in fact, everyone ignored a little bit why everyone was shouting about the founding of the country in the first place. It was nothing more than the Spanish expedition ships that entered the sphere of influence of the colonies. The cabinet also discussed this and sent Paik Nam to visit the prison again.

When he went to the cell where Perez was held again, Bai Nan had already been installed as a lieutenant colonel of the Navy of the Tang Republic and concurrently served as the general counselor of the State Council of the Tang Republic. The military uniform on his body has not changed, but the original characteristics of the modern country have been taken off and treasured and collected, and now his cockade is just an ordinary red star, and the armband is written on the navy of the Tang Republic.

This small change in details, Pérez, who has been detained for more than a day, naturally did not notice, in fact, this cell is relatively dim, and he can't see the details of Bai Nan's uniform.

Bai Nan came to Perez with a hint of a smile, and Perez hurriedly saluted: "Lieutenant Colonel Bai, I'm really glad to see you again, it's been a day, except for being able to see people when delivering food, no one has said a word to me, this kind of torment is really torturing the dead." ”

Bai Nandao: "You killed and injured our innocent fishermen, what are you doing with this suffering?" ”

Pérez hurriedly said: "I once again express my apologies to you, and I am willing to provide compensation and apologize to the families of the fishermen who died." ”

Bai Nan nodded: "At least your attitude is sincere." Well, the cabinet of our Datang Republic has already discussed your issue and made a decision. ”

Perez asked, "The Tang Republic? I have not heard of the name of your country, forgive me for being unheard, Lieutenant Colonel Bai, are you from the East? ”

"That's right, our hometown is China, that is, the place where you Westerners are said to be rich and prosperous, and most of the people here are dissatisfied with the rule of the Tatars and have a pioneering spirit, so we have come to this land after a lot of hardships, which is what you call North America, and established a new country, that is, the great Tang Republic."

Pérez bowed down again and saluted: "I pay my respects to Datang and her people." ”

He didn't know the history of the Eastern countries, so Bai Nan's explanation was not very strict, and he easily believed it. After all, in Europe, many people who could not survive because of religious, political and economic problems crossed the ocean to live in the colonies. In terms of experience, the Tang Dynasty seems to be similar to the Irish Puritans, the German bankrupt peasants, and the like. It's just that Perez can't figure out why these people who have left their homeland have such a large fleet and powerful weapons that they can't understand at all.

"I am amazed by your country's military science and technology and many other advanced technologies." Pérez is another sycophant, hoping to get something out of Bai Nan's mouth, but Bai Nan is obviously not interested in giving any explanation to Pérez on this issue.

Bai Nan took out a manuscript written in Chinese and Spanish and read it to Perez: "This is about your handling, Lieutenant Colonel Perez." The Cabinet Committee of the State Council of the Republic of Datang believes that the attack on the fishing vessels Xihai 104 and Xihai 107 belonging to the Spanish Navy has constituted war crimes, and we demand that the Kingdom of Spain make reasonable compensation to our fishermen and make a formal apology, and at the same time, we will detain the crew members who participated in the illegal military provocation and bring them to justice. In addition, we refuse to recognize the claim of the Kingdom of Spain to the territory of the west coast of North America. The Alta California region that you call is the inseparable California of our country, and the Monterrey Evangelistic Mission, the Fort and the San Diego Evangelistic Evangelistic Church established by Spain on our territory are all illegal constructions that have caused gross aggression against our country and are to be demolished within a period of 60 days, otherwise we will use coercive means to demolish them in order to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity. Above. ”

After listening to Bai Nan's words, Perez felt that the world had turned a little whirlwind, and the handling of the incident of attacking the fishing boat was somewhat expected, if the Spanish warship attacked the British fishing boat and was caught by the British, it was impossible to say that the British would slaughter a boatload of Spaniards, which was the practice of this era. Obviously, these Orientals, who call themselves Tang people, did not say anything to death, which means that the crew of the San Diego may not have to die. And Pérez also heard the hope that such a circular document must be submitted to the Spanish government, then at least one Spaniard will be released, and this person is most likely himself.

At the same time, Pérez is worried. These Tang Dynasty people are not easy to speak, although the Spanish claim to California sovereignty is also somewhat untenable, but these Tang people obviously cannot tolerate the existence of Spanish colonial forces in their own vicinity, and the two mission centers of Monterrey and San Diego have become the targets of the Tang Dynasty to uproot. Obviously, the St. Garibuel Evangelistic Institute, which was originally built on this land, has been eradicated by the Tang Dynasty.

Pérez blushed and shouted, "Unacceptable! This is a provocation to our Spain, and you will bear the wrath of Spain! ”

Bai Nan's face was as usual, indifferent, and he didn't take Pérez's threat seriously at all, he threw the manuscript in his hand to Pérez, and said, "You can leave here with those Franciscan priests from the St. Garibuel Evangelist, and make sure to send the news to the relevant parties, because in sixty days, names like Monterrey and San Diego will not exist." ”

Pérez clenched his fists, about to clench his teeth, asked, "Aren't you afraid that Spain, which is all over the world, will send elite soldiers to kill you all?" I saw your towns, estimated to be tens of thousands of people, and it is really stupid to use tens of thousands of people to confront the Spanish Empire! ”

Bai Nan smiled disdainfully and said: "Spain is not enough to be taken into our eyes, if Spain is willing to give up those idiots' territorial claims and honestly do business with us, we are willing to let Spain be our friend, but if Spain does not know how to lift, then you will find that you have picked the wrong opponent." Well, if you don't believe me, I can accompany you to see something before you leave. ”
