The visit to the Republic of China was Qin Zhiyuan's first visit after he became king, so the complexity of preparing things can be imagined. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, it is necessary to determine the safety aspect, since Qin Zhiyuan is going out, in principle, Qin De cannot go with him, but considering that it is a visit to the Republic of China, this is more like a "family search" trip, Qin Zhiyuan still hopes that Julie and Qin De will go with him, so he can only work safety.
There is no doubt that Dong Xingxiu, the number one master of the palace, is Qin Zhiyuan's personal military attaché, and Dong Xingxiu also leads an elite detachment of about 100 people, which is Qin Zhiyuan's personal escort force, there is no doubt about this.
At issue is the Outer Guard, the legendary Imperial Guard.
Lan Fang actually has the Royal Forest Army, the first armored division of the army has always been stationed in Coconut City, this unit actually bears the responsibilities of the Royal Forest Army, but it has never been named the "Royal Forest Army", it is really nameless.
So now that we are going to travel, the Royal Forest Army is definitely going to be established, and this new army immediately attracted the attention of all the armies in Lanfang, and almost all the commanders stationed abroad and the local defense troops hope to draw manpower from their own troops to form this "Royal Forest Army".
This Imperial Forest Army is different from the ordinary troops of Lanfang, and the most obvious sign is that it can use a military flag with red characters on a black background marked by "Qin", and at the same time, the flag also has a dark red Vermilion Bird pattern.
It's really a technical task to draw people from the various units to form this force, and at the same time not offend anyone.
Almost within three days, not only the local garrison of Lanfang knew about it, but Chen Kangjian, who was far away in the northern Xinjiang region, knew about it, so a list of them immediately spread to the Surabaya Military Department, all of which were elite players in various armies, and those who had not won a ranking in the army were embarrassed to show their hands.
Qin Zhiyuan only wants a guard army of about 1,000, in fact, just take the troops currently stationed on Penglai Island for a few flags, it is like such a big movement, but now from the list sent by each army, preliminary statistics, the manpower has exceeded 15,000 people, which is already a standard army division size.
Everyone is sincere, it's not good to hurt anyone, Qin Zhiyuan thinks he doesn't have this ability, so he gave this power to Defense Minister Qin Zhisheng.
Qin Zhisheng scratched his head for a night, and he didn't know how much hair he had scratched off, and then gave this power to Foch.
It's easy to get to Foch, Foch immediately waved his pen and sent all of them over, this army is called the "Vermilion Bird Division", and then there are good seedlings to continue to send, and we still have the "Green Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu" three divisions to continue to be formed.
Now it will be Chen Kangjian's turn and Zhang Tianshou's staggering, they don't have so many elites to send to Lanfang, and the major military regions must always keep some elites as seeds.
Let's put aside the matter of the Imperial Forest Army first, and then talk about the attachés who accompanied Qin Zhiyuan on his visit, since the king is going to visit, then Lu Zhengxiang, the prime minister, will sit in Lanfang, and Defense Minister Qin Zhisheng will not leave Surabaya, in addition to former Prime Minister Huang Bohan, there is also General Counsel Foch, as well as Minister of Commerce Huang Jinsheng, Minister of Industry Zhang Tianyun, and Zhang Jingzong, who succeeded Lu Zhengxiang as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lanfang, this lineup is already strong enough.
Speaking of Zhang Jingzong, the reason why Zhang Jingzong is qualified to succeed Lu Zhengxiang as foreign minister has a lot to do with Zhang Jingzong's background in the Republic of China.
In fact, just before serving as foreign minister, Zhang Jingzong's military position was the deputy commander of the first armored division of the Lanfang Army, and his military rank had been promoted to lieutenant general, and he had a bright future in the army, but Lanfang's diplomats were really lacking, Zhang Jingzong had to retire from the army and take up the position of foreign minister, which was regarded as the beginning of his political journey.
This is not bad, Lanfang's army system is full of talents, and Chen Kangjian's gang is only the oldest now, Zhang Jingzong is estimated to be difficult to become a prince in his lifetime, in this case, it is also a different way to enter politics.
After solving the personnel, it is only a part of the solution, Qin Zhiyuan's visit, there is still more preparatory work to be done.
The plane you need to take during the visit is good to say, this is all ready-made, when the time comes, just follow Qin Zhiyuan, the car needs to be transported in advance, the current transport plane is not capable of transporting such a big guy as a car, if you want to transport a car, you still have to rely on a ship, which requires the work to be done in front.
At the same time, there are all kinds of ingredients that need to be prepared, because Julie and the little prince Qin De will also follow, so we can't help but consider the problem of water and soil adaptation, so the ingredients that Qin Zhiyuan and his party need to use on this trip, especially the drinking water, have to be transported all the way from Lanfang, and even the chef has to prepare it himself, and at the same time, there are also staff responsible for photography, videography and other film and television materials. This is how you can get the most out of it when you need it.
In fact, compared to these, the most troublesome thing is security, because of the pro-Japanese tendencies of the Republic of China, no one knows how many people in the current Beijing Division of the Republic of China are hostile to Lan Fang, it is certain that there must be such people, these people need to be screened in advance, not to mention to the extent that they are all controlled, at least they cannot approach the Lan Fang delegation at will.
Therefore, although Qin Zhiyuan's scheduled visit date is mid-March, Gao Hongshi's people will take action now, and they will go to Yingzhou, the Ryukyu Islands, Goryeo, the Northern Xinjiang Region, the capital of the Republic of China and other places to do a good job of topographic survey in advance, formulate plans for various accidents, and so on.
There are indeed a lot of places to visit, and it is rare for Qin Zhiyuan to go out once, so go to a few more places, at least to leave Qin Zhiyuan's footprints in Goryeo, Northern Xinjiang and other places, so that it can be regarded as a real declaration of territorial sovereignty.
Of course, relatively speaking, places such as Yingzhou and the Ryukyu Islands are the inherent territory of Lanfang, and these places do not need to swear sovereignty, because sovereignty has never been disputed.
Even so, Qin Zhiyuan still had to move around more, at least to deter some lawbreakers with bad intentions, so that they would not be whimsical.
Carefully calculated, Lan Fang in 1920 was still relatively busy, just said that in the first half of the year, Qin Zhiyuan will visit the Republic of China, and then he will visit Japan, and then he will go to Antwerp, Belgium with the Japanese Emperor Taisho to participate in the Olympic Games, during the Olympic Games, Qin Zhiyuan will visit France, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Denikin's South Russia, and the coalition government of Kolchak.
Is there more itinerary during the Olympics?
No, no, no, it's not much at all, if Qin Zhiyuan is not mistaken, this Raushzi Olympics will last from April to September, and Qin Zhiyuan has enough time.
At the same time, in 1920, there was another thing that had to attract Lan Fang's sufficient attention, that is, the "Washington Conference" to be held in Washington at the end of the year.
The Washington Conference was supposed to be held at the end of 1921 to contain the arms race, which was intensifying at the time, and to reconcile the conflicting interests of various countries in the Pacific.
But different from the history in another time and space, the original backbone of the conference Japan is no longer what it used to be, Lanfang has now replaced the position of Japan, and because of the relationship between Lanfang and France and the Republic of China, this makes the Americans and the British more nervous than in another time and space, in the Far East There is now a tendency to huddle together for warmth, which also directly led to the "Washington Conference" held a year earlier, and the purpose of the Americans and the British is no longer to ease the contradictions, but to curb Lanfang's expansion.
To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan is not very optimistic about this "Washington Conference", the reason is very simple, it is because of the-stirring stick of the United States.
In fact, from the perspective of "fishing in troubled waters", the Americans are really the godsons of the British, the British are a-stirring stick on the European continent, and the Americans are a-stirring stick all over the world.
Do you still remember the "Treaty of Versailles" after the world war, the US Congress has not agreed to it until now, which means that the Americans did not sign the "Versailles Treaty" at all, which fully expresses the malicious intent of the Americans on world affairs.
Think about it, the "Fourteen Points" that promoted the "Treaty of Versailles" was put forward by US President Wilson, and because some of its provisions were not confirmed in the "Paris Peace Treaty", the US Congress decided not to sign the "Versailles Peace Treaty".
In Qin Zhiyuan's memory, although the "Washington Conference" was proposed by the Americans, and the Americans fully showed their dominant position, after the meeting, the relevant regulations made by the meeting, such as the "Treaty between the United States, Britain, France, and Japan on the Dependencies and Territories of Islands in the Pacific Region", which is commonly known as the "Four-Power Treaty", pointed out in a statement jointly issued by the four countries on the day of signing: The conclusion of the above-mentioned treaty cannot be regarded as the United States agreeing to the mandate clause.
This means that the United States is not bound by the Versailles system
This is simply ridiculous, the Americans proposed to convene a conference, the Americans led the signing of the treaty, and as a result, the Americans were not controlled by the treaty!
Can there be any more double standards?
With such a jewel in front of him, Qin Zhiyuan did not have any expectations for this "Washington Conference", and at the same time, because of the existence of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not set foot in the United States, which also cast a shadow on the "Washington Conference" that had not yet been held.
Speaking of the "Chinese Exclusion Act," there are two trends of social thought in the United States as to whether or not this bill should be repealed, and there is a constant debate.
The congressmen who advocated for the Chinese Exclusion Act were all lawmakers who had some connection with Lanfang, and although these congressmen did not deal directly with Lanfang, they had a lot of dealings with the companies that Lanfang had opened in the United States.
At the same time, there are more lawmakers who adhere to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and they are more powerful, including President Wilson.
That's right, including Wilson, who proposed "Fourteen Points", this guy is indeed a winner of the "Nobel Peace Prize", and at the same time a racist in the truest sense of the word.
There is a funny question, what does it mean that Nobel, who was born as an explosives player, actually set up a "Peace Prize"?
Jeer? Repent? Or is it a conspiracy by some people to try to make their presence felt?
