Both the economy and the population are the top priorities in the Haitang Kingdom. However, the population sources of the Haitang Kingdom seem to be huge and complex, but in fact, the channels are still narrow. When you think about it, there are two main reasons – traffic and attractiveness.

In this era, transportation was extremely difficult, especially in Chinese mainland, where sea exports were blocked, and relying only on land and air transportation was extremely efficient and costly.

As for the high-end talents urgently needed by Haitang and even the general people with some knowledge, the current Haitang Kingdom is still not attractive. The replenishment of these personnel in Haitang State mainly comes from overseas patriotic overseas Chinese, and it is quite difficult to recruit personnel from China. Without him, in the eyes of the people, Haitang is by no means a national orthodoxy, and even a slight deviation in public opinion can even be classified as a traitor.

But in August of '42, the phenomenon began to change. In the Second Battle of Ceylon, the Naval Resistance Army completely annihilated the Japanese reinforcement fleet, winning the first major victory in the Indian Ocean and the second Allied victory after the Battle of Midway. This victory caused a sensation in the country and also led to an increase in the attractiveness of the Haitang Kingdom.

The more knowledgeable people are, the deeper their understanding of the navy as a service. In the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Qing Kingdom lost to Japan, and the navy declined from then on. And the first battle in the Sea of Ceylon once again aroused China's naval dream. People from all walks of life who were interested in the navy and anti-Japanese resistance began to flow to the Haitang Kingdom.

Building a country actually has many similarities with the development of a business. That is: the better your performance (record), the more attractive it will be.

Planting the sycamore tree attracts the golden phoenix.

This sentence is most appropriate for the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Haitang State.

In August, Haitang got two diplomats at once. And they are all China's veteran diplomats - Lu Zhengxiang and Yan Huiqing.

This is not easy, although these two are difficult to compare with the fame of some generals, but they are both pioneers of the diplomatic career of the Republic of China. For Haitangguo, attracting talents is a very difficult thing in itself, especially high-end talents. To know. In the eyes of traditional literati in China, the Haitang Kingdom is not Chinese orthodoxy. The Naval Resistance Army has not been changed to the Tang Army, or the Maritime Tang Army, in fact, this is also the reason. Reputation is very important, and it is also one of the bases for attracting talents.

Among them, Lu Zhengxiang has served as a translator of the Chinese Embassy in Russia, the Chinese Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Netherlands, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Prime Minister of State. Minister of the People's Republic of China to Switzerland, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Acting Secretary of State.

This has a very good relationship with Emperor Hongxian Yuan Shikai, and this so-called good is actually very debatable. Lu Zhengxiang has a literati temperament and a weak personality. He has been described as "humble and peaceful, but clumsy in his judgments." Such a character was in power when Yuan Shikai was in power. The chaotic years of the early establishment of the Republic of China. As a diplomat, he cannot but be said to be a cannon fodder, doomed to the tragedy of his life.

Lu Zhengxiang has a bad reputation in China, and the biggest reason is that he played the role of the top cylinder for Yuan Shikai, and once signed the "Twenty-one Articles" on behalf of Yuan Shikai for the loss of power and humiliation of Japan.

For Lu Zhengxiang these histories. Li Guang didn't actually know. He only knows one sentence: "There is no diplomacy for a weak country." This famous foreign traffic police sentence comes from the mouth of this public.

However, Lu Zhengxiang has left the political arena, even left China for 20 years, and has little influence in China. He has been living in Belgium all these years. After the death of his wife, he became a Catholic. Because the Naval Resistance Army helped the Belgian army to retreat during the retreat of Dunkirk, the relationship between the Haitang Kingdom and the Belgian government-in-exile was quite good, and the two sides also had a lot of trade. Although there is no large amount of trade, there is no shortage of exchanges.

Coincidentally, because the Haitang Kingdom promoted real estate in Uruguay to attract European immigrants during the war, the proportion of Belgians was not low. By chance, Lu Zhengxiang, who lives in Belgium, received a brochure from Haitang. On this brochure, he saw a familiar name - Yuan Ye. Moreover, in the past few years of war, the reputation of the Maritime Resistance Army has become more and more famous, and the Haitang Kingdom has become more and more brilliant.

The German Nazis occupied Belgium and also occupied the monastery, and Lu Zhengxiang, who had calmed down, made waves again.

Driven by the desire to serve the nation and the psychology of atonement, the old gentleman was already 70 years old, and dragged his sick body to Uruguay, and after more than half a year of wandering, he finally came to Madagascar.

The seventy-year-old gentleman defected to the Haitang Kingdom, not seeking wealth or officials, but only one request: after defeating Japan in the future, he would choose a cemetery for him under Mount Fuji in Japan. In this way, he wants to wash away the guilt of the nation committed by signing the 21 Articles.

Yan Huiqing and Lu Zhengxiang used to work together and used to be Lu Zhengxiang's deputy. But the two are quite different, this sixty-three-year-old diplomat, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, is very famous, once nicknamed "not to fall the deputy minister", for many years as the vice minister of foreign affairs, the minister has changed many times, but the deputy minister throne has always belonged to him, which shows his ability. In the diplomatic history of the Republic of China, Yan Huiqing occupies an important position, and many diplomatic developments are related to him. Moreover, he also served as the prime minister of the government, and also opened a bank and many industrial projects. Unlike Lu Zhengxiang's scholarly anger, this person is a clever man who understands the rules of the game of diplomacy and is a rare diplomatic talent.

After Chairman Chiang came to power, Yan Huiqing served as China's minister to the United States from 31 to 33 years.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the chairman of the National People's Congress began to re-employ veteran diplomats like Yan Huiqing. In August 1938, Yan left Shanghai for the United States in his public capacity as the chief Chinese representative to the Sixth Pacific International Exchange Symposium, and his real identity was Chiang Kai-shek's personal envoy.

On November 1, accompanied by Ambassador Hu Shih, he met with US President Roosevelt and presented Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter. In late November, he attended a Pacific Diplomatic Symposium held in Victoria Harbor, where he condemned the atrocities of the Japanese army and discussed international security. After the meeting, he continued to stay in the United States to assist Hu Shih in expanding his diplomacy with the United States, and was once appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek, who invited him to serve as foreign minister, but politely declined.

Under normal circumstances, even if China is in a relatively bad situation now, it is impossible for these legitimate diplomats to defect to the Haitang Kingdom. The fact is that the diplomat almost died at the hands of the Maritime Resistance Army, which was sent to Madagascar by a submarine of the Naval Resistance Army purely by chance.

When the Pacific War broke out, Yan Huiqing happened to be in Hong Kong at the time. Hong Kong fell, and he was placed under house arrest by the Japanese army. Because Yan Huiqing is in Shanghai, the huge prestige in the country. The Japanese devils wanted to use their fame to serve the Japanese, so they were escorted back to Shanghai by the Japanese army.

The Japanese escorted the ship out to sea, but unfortunately it was sunk by a submarine of the Maritime Resistance Army.

When screening the prisoners, Yan Huiqing was almost killed on the spot because of a pinch of Japanese mustache. Thanks to the diplomat's eloquence and saving his life, he arrived in Madagascar. After this incident, Yan Huiqing's beard was completely shaved off.

Historically, after this diplomat arrived in Shanghai, he did not say a word, closed his door, and did not serve the Japanese devils, which can be regarded as dignified.

When he arrived in Madagascar, he heard that Dr. Hu Shi, who he knew well, had become a diplomat of Haitang in the United States, and he and Lu Zhengxiang had worked together, which could be regarded as a Beiyang lineage, and Yuan Ye had some incense, and under many persuasions, he stayed in Haitang and served for Haitang without naturalization.

Since then, Lu Zhengxiang has served as the general adviser of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Haitang Kingdom because of his health and age, and his main job is to teach young diplomats of the Haitang Kingdom.

And Yan Huiqing, because of his ability and experience, served as the foreign minister of the Haitang Kingdom.

What is more special is that Yan Huiqing does not have the nationality of the Tang Kingdom. It is a strange story that he can serve as a foreign minister even though he is not a national citizen.

However, this is not uncommon in the Haitang Kingdom, such a force of five or six hundred thousand people, that is, a county worthy of later generations. It is already a very commendable thing to have a foreign ministry, and it is impossible to achieve the regularity of a big country.

The arrival of the two diplomats made the diplomatic career of Haitang Kingdom advance by leaps and bounds.

Since then, the diplomatic model of the Haitang Kingdom has become: Li Guang, a traveler, and Yuan Ye, a historical expert, and Yuan Ye, a historical expert, and Yan Huiqing, a diplomatic expert, have a strategic plan, and Yan Huiqing and a group of diplomats have specific operations. Such a three-level mixed diplomatic system finally met Li Guang's expectations, and another shortcoming of Haitang was made up.

The first achievement of the two diplomats was that the Haitang State was officially recognized by the Soviet Union in diplomatic negotiations, marking a solid step on the road of an independent country.

However, Foreign Minister Yan Huiqing did not take this credit to himself, Yuan Ye and Li Guang had already paved the way, and this diplomatic negotiation was almost a matter of course. The professional water principles of the two are reflected in the fact that the various contracts signed by the two parties are very professional and avoid many words that are easy to cause ambiguity.

At the age of 63, Yen Huiqing, who is still full of ambition, has already set his sights on the next goal, and he wants to add a lot of glory to his career as foreign minister of the Haitang Kingdom.

The arrival of the two diplomats is a sign of the inflow of talents from Haitang State. Since then, the talents of Haitang no longer rely on simple recruitment, which is a leap forward and plays a vital role in the future of Haitang. (To be continued......)
