Chapter 280: The German Prince

With the introduction of the anti-corruption policy, the first two months were relatively stable, and only a few officials could not hold their breath and jumped out on their own, only to be taken away and interrogated by the newly formed Joint Supervision Department, and then punished according to the original measures.

When this example is presented, most people have a sense of self-preservation. Don't ask for merit, but ask for nothing. For the tasks arranged above, they always complete them rigorously, and their attitude towards the people below has changed a lot in an instant. What's more, because he couldn't stand this maddening political atmosphere, he resigned in anger and returned to his hometown.

Anyway, after working for so many years, I also have some funds in my hands, even if I don't become an official, I can use this money to make some investments, and the competition in the shopping mall naturally does not have the danger of officialdom. If you want to get ahead, it's much easier than in officialdom.

As a result, within a year, tens of thousands of officials across the country resigned one after another and went to the sea to do business. It is not so easy to go to the sea to do business, according to the laws of the country, in fact, their profits are not very high, and they are all from the political axe organs, and they also have a relatively good understanding of some things. At least they know how to cover up their mistakes, or their criminal records.

As long as others don't find out, then they can continue to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai platform. It just made them even more angry and wanted to scold their mother. Wang Lin went so far as to reorganize the investigation team of the factories that followed, and deliberately aimed part of his energy at these bosses who had gone out from the political axe organs, and if there was a slight change, you would be bankrupt.

A year's time has passed in the blink of an eye, and compared with a year ago, the domestic political atmosphere at this time has eased a lot. The enthusiasm of the people has gradually been manifested again. As long as you have the ability, you will not be buried anywhere. Now I don't have to worry about having the ability, and I don't have the money, it doesn't matter, and the embarrassment of being locked out of the back door finally happened.

At the beginning, the Supervision Department encountered some thorny problems, and even a few officials went so far as to surround the staff of the Supervision Group on their own turf. When Wang Lin learned of this news, he immediately ordered the local garrison to go and relieve the siege, and if there was resistance, it was regarded as a mutiny and executed on the spot.

After one official purge after another, within a year, thousands of officials died at the gunpoint of Wang Lin alone, and there were countless people who were implicated, restraining orders, and sent to prison.

In 1905, just after the winter and ushered in the new spring, the Chinese Empire will also usher in its most solemn day, moving the capital. After two years of hard work, many projects have been completed in the new capital of Wuhan. Among them, it is the result of the joint work of the soldiers of the Third Army and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.

Pieces of new urban areas and pieces of new office areas are silently rising from the ground. Influenced by later generations, Wang Lin was afraid that the traffic problems in the capital would be as bad as those in later generations. Therefore, as soon as the design came out, the road was deliberately prevented from being wider. In the new urban area, Wang Lin's requirement is that each road should have at least a two-way width of eight lanes.

The smallest roads are all eight lanes, and all the big roads lead to Rome, see if you are still blocked? If there is still a traffic jam, Wang Lin should consider whether to ban driving in the capital and switch to bicycles?

The specific date for moving the capital has been decided. And Wang Lin's new home, which is currently the only imperial palace in the empire, has long been built, and at this time, a large group of royal ceremonial officials are arranging all kinds of decorations there. Emperor, you have to look like an emperor anyway, you can't be like now, nothing, right?

However, the intentional arrangement of Long Yuhui and others at the beginning made Wang Lin very annoyed, although the palace of more than 1,000 acres of land, although it is already very large, at least it is much larger than Wang Lin's home in his previous life and this life. Although everyone couldn't refute it, this matter could only be done according to Wang Lin's intentions.

But they just stuffed a royal guard into it. Although the number is small, only 600 people, these 600 people are all elites. For the elite, Wang Lin still likes it. Besides, Wang Lin can't rely on the Red Police Unit for protection all his life, right? Faced with the increasing population of the royal family, Wang Lin suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

In desperation, Wang Lin had no choice but to buy another 1,000 mu of land, and according to the policy, Wang Lin would get 1,400 mu, plus one piece before and after, for a total of 2,800 mu of land. If this is placed in the future life, with so much land, I am afraid that I will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life, right?

The original plan is still going according to the original plan. The newly purchased 1,400 acres of land were turned into an outer city, and in addition to the 400 acres of land used for greening, the remaining 1,000 acres were fenced off in the outer city, as well as barracks and training grounds.

As for shooting? Let's go and play and don't scare the kids.

The 600-man Imperial Guard was divided into several arms, of which 150 were arranged to patrol the inner palace regularly, and a team of five people, ten teams each time, patrolling 24 hours a day. The remaining three hundred men were stationed at the corners of the walls. Among them are artillerymen, snipers, etc., and even the latest T-34 tank fighting vehicles have more than a dozen in it. The lineup is not luxurious.

The relocation of the new capital was soon carried out as scheduled, and in order not to bring the organs and units to a standstill in the process of relocation, the various central political axe organs also sent out some staff members in advance, who were mainly responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the central political axe organs when the large army was relocated.

Wang Lin finally moved into the palace. This area is relatively quiet, but the group of kids below is too unsettling. Originally, I thought that only these 600 guards would be enough, but I didn't expect that this group of people would actually station a division of garrison troops within a few kilometers outside the palace to be responsible for protecting the security of the royal family.

Although Wang Lin was a little unhappy in his heart, he thought about it carefully, no matter what, these are all a little thoughts of the people below, forget it, then be wronged, isn't it just that he is protected by tens of thousands of people? It's good to turn a blind eye, and the province has dealt a blow to their confidence.

"Your Majesty, German royalty, Ettel? Prince Friedrich and Princess Victoria Louis ask to meet! Yang Zhiping gently pushed away Wang Lin's office, and he was able to live in the palace one day, and he didn't come in as a eunuch, Yang Zhiping can be said to have no regrets in this life.

"Princes and princesses of Germany? I didn't expect them to come so quickly, let them in! Wang Lin said a little incredulously.

Wang Lin had long known that there would be members of the German royal family to visit, but the German side kept this issue secret, and for a while, the agents sent by Wang Lin failed to find out who would come to the Chinese Empire. According to the distance and time, the prince and princess of Germany may have just arrived in Wuhan for a few days, right? Coming to see Wang Lin in such a hurry, there must be something tricky.

Taking advantage of the time when Yang Zhiping went out to pick up the two royal family members from Germany, Wang Lin, like other emperors in history, went to the lounge in the back and changed into his own set of generals' regular clothes. How can you say that it is also a friendly federation with Germany now, isn't it? When someone from the royal family comes, he can't just ignore it and wear a civilian outfit, right?

I don't know what other emperors will wear at this time, anyway, Wang Lin only knows, and he also knows from historical photos, Kaiser Wilhelm II and Tsar Nicholas II, both of whom were wearing military uniforms when they met. Wang Lin, surnamed Suo, also put on the military uniform directly, without too much decoration, not even the simplest golden wheat order, with a seniority card on the right chest, and a name on the left chest, and five golden stars on the health. This is the Venus made by Wang Lin who endured his heartache and took out a gold bar from his secret room.

There is also a military badge on the top of the head, a golden name on the name plate on the left chest, etc., all of which are made of gold. Wang Lin, who can only look at the price of gold in later generations, can now be extravagant, but I don't know if anyone will scold him for being shameful for wasting it?

After getting dressed, Wang Lin even looked in the mirror as if narcissistically, not to mention, Wang Lin, who is now in his early thirties, is at most a little hairy child in his early twenties if he only looks at it from the outside. Although the person is not handsome, he is quite attractive, and he is the focus of a group of people wherever he goes. Celebrities feel really bad, and farting in public can be embarrassing for a long time.

Came to the special foreign affairs meeting room of the palace, at this time the two members of the German royal family had not yet arrived, and Wang Linsuo was no longer sitting and waiting. When Wang Lin came, he just took a hasty look and left. Nuo is a big palace, you can't get to know it all in one day, right? You have to take your time in everything, you can't be in a hurry, and sometimes the more you are in a hurry, the more you will deviate from reality.

Hanging on the surrounding walls are a pair of photographs of the first days of the Hainan Army fighting bravely against the British, as well as pictures of the Imperial Navy fighting the British Navy. There are even photos of the Zhengnan Army when it entered Wuchang City, and there are photos of the Wehrmacht fighting with the Russian army and attacking the country [***]. The photographs in the Foreign Affairs Lounge gather the bitter history of the Chinese Empire. From a small factory guard at the beginning, to a million-strong army today.

Who can remember some of the bitter past events in between? However, Wang Lin thinks that these photos are not suitable for the foreign affairs meeting room. If it is placed in the record hall of the history of the development of the empire, it is quite good. However, those royal ceremonial officials said that in order to make the majesty of the empire famous all over the world, it is necessary to let them know the history of our development, and photographs are the best way to spread the history of development.

Wang Lin, who can't resist people left and right, can only pat his thigh with his small hand, you can play by yourself, I don't care about anything. I'm just an emperor, do you need to tell me so many big truths?

Immediately, Wang Lin faced the national flag facing the door of the living room, in order to place this dragon flag here in a dignified and dignified manner, the empire has lost a lot of outstanding soldiers, and even more lost a lot of unsung heroes. But the war will continue, and if it doesn't, what can be done? Without war, there is no dignity, and the dignity in the history of the Chinese nation was all obtained in war, and if he wanted to rebuild the majesty of hundreds of thousands of years ago, Wang Lin could only rely on war to obtain it.

But is it really worth it? Is it really worth it to lose the lives of countless soldiers and bury wounded hearts in the hearts of tens of millions of people? Although this country was established by Wang Lin, every time Wang Lin saw this national flag, he always felt a little empty in his heart, and he didn't dare to face this national flag head-on.

Although Wang Lin hung the national flag in his office, he still didn't dare to face it with a clear conscience. For it, so many people have lost their lives, but what did Wang Lin do? The whole day was protected by countless people, and he got such an achievement by sitting in the rear and blindly commanding twice, to be honest, Wang Lin even had plans to abdicate at this moment.

Wang Lin felt sorry for the dead soldiers. War, should it end early? Wang Lin secretly recalled in his heart. The country already has more than 2 million troops, although half of them are recruits, but their training subjects are the best, as long as they are a little honed on the battlefield, they are a reusable army. Is two million troops enough?

Wang Lin, who was obsessed with his thoughts, didn't even notice the sound of footsteps outside the house, Augustus? Prince Ettel and Princess Victoria Louis were obviously educated by the nobility, and after entering the meeting room, they did not angrily ask Wang Lin why he did not receive them. Instead, they waited quietly, waiting for Wang Lin to come and talk to them. This is the quality of a gentleman, a nobleman.

"Your Majesty, Prince Etel and Princess Louis are here!" Yang Zhiping reminded in a low voice. When the distinguished guests arrived, the emperor suddenly ran away, if it weren't for the Germans' request at this time, I'm afraid they would have turned around and left a long time ago, right?

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was thinking too much about some things just now, so it was a bit rude!" When Wang Lin heard Yang Zhiping's voice, he reacted and hurriedly apologized. The translator who was waiting behind him immediately repeated Wang Lin's words in German. (Translation stage, omitted afterward!) "Oh God, are you really the emperor of this empire? Really young! Princess Louise covered her mouth with her little hand and shouted in surprise, at this moment, Princess Louise, who was only fifteen years old, did not have the slightest trace of the aura of a noble princess, and completely looked like a nymphomaniac.

"Louis, pay attention to your identity and don't be rude in front of the Great Emperor, okay?" Prince Ettel smiled bitterly and looked at his sister, he was only fifteen years old, and he was only twenty-one years old, and it was actually a little inappropriate for them to visit the Chinese Empire on behalf of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

After all, he went to see the emperor of other people, so he sent two little hairy children to support the scene, but Wilhelm II had no choice, and this time there was no room for mistakes, because it meant the fate of the German Empire. Only by sending out his two children can he show his attention. I just hope that Wang Lin doesn't blame Wilhelm II.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Great Emperor of the Chinese Empire, my sister is still too young, and some things will always be difficult to control!" Prince Etel smiled wryly and bent down to apologize. He was also deeply shocked by Wang Lin's young appearance, he couldn't imagine how such a young person could do it? If it is said that it is the succession to the throne, then it is easy to say, but the question is not.

"Hehe, it's okay, the friendship between China and Germany will not care about this little problem. Besides, I also like the way Princess Louis speaks, it will make you forget your troubles! Wang Lin smiled softly.

Decisions are often only a matter of moments, and when Wang Lin faced the national flag just now, he had already decided to end the war as soon as possible. Those who can fight one battle will never be delayed until the second battle, and those who can live two must not live only one. Wang Lin didn't want to let his old age live in glory and guilt. As long as you are worthy of your conscience. War is inevitable, and death is inevitable.

At this moment, what Wang Lin can do is only to reduce the number of soldiers killed in the war as much as possible, and the simplest and most effective way is to shorten the time of the war and strengthen his own combat strength.

In the ensuing conversation, Prince Ettel vaguely proposed that Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted to form an alliance with Wang Lin in the Chinese Empire, but Wang Lin politely refused. The ambition of the Kaiser Wang Lin is not unaware, to be the enemy of the whole world, Wang Lin has this ability, but he is not ready yet.

Although Wang Lin rejected the question of the alliance, he also expressed his willingness to provide some help to the German Empire. During the talks, Wang Lin agreed to sell 500 small beans and 100 rabbit tanks to Germany again. With this step of breakthrough in the progress of the surname, Prince Ettel was also relieved in his heart.

The main purpose of their visit this time was to buy armored combat vehicles again and win over the Chinese Empire. Although he failed to reach an alliance, Wang Lin expressed his willingness to support the cause of the Germans, which was enough for him to return to the task. As for the condition proposed by Wang Lin, Prince Etel thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Wang Lin with certainty.

Within a year, be quiet and don't make any trouble. This condition is acceptable to the Germans, they have endured it for so many years, and it is not bad for this year. It is also just the right time to take advantage of this year to let the newly formed armored units become proficient. In general, the time of the year was also helpful for the Germans.

From the first purchase of armored combat vehicles to the present, the Germans have purchased a total of thousands of tank fighting vehicles from Wang Lin. Two armored divisions have been formed, and the third and fourth have already been formed, just waiting for the batch of tanks promised by Wang Lin to be in place.

With the response of the Germans, Wang Lin also clearly knew his next task, training, training, training. In one year's time, the two million troops will be built into an army that dares to fight and fight.
