Princess Charlotte, who is nearly 17 years old, and her entourage had the impression that China was a barbaric and backward desolate land before coming to China. And when they came to China, well, it was still a barbaric and backward desolate place.

While navigating the mountains on the border between Guangxi and Hunan, the Deputy Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Juncker, even complained that Paul must have fooled his distant nephew, who looked like a monkey. Does he want us to run into this mountain and be monkeys?

But after the group arrived at the passage, they began to enter the mode of constant surprise, just like the patriotic intellectual youth who went to Anjiang from all over the country to seek a way out.

However, there is a difference in the nature of the surprise between the two, the surprise of the Luxembourg team, which appeared in the name of the expedition, was because it felt like it was back in Europe; And patriotic intellectual youths from all over the country were surprised because there were too many unheard of and unseen things in the land of Xiangxi.

Or is it the Luxembourg Expedition, a diplomatic group that left a strong mark in the history of the founding of the Chinese Federation (this group with a diplomatic mission occupies the same space in history textbooks as the Shanghai hooligan tycoon Du Yuesheng), Princess Charlotte asked Deputy Prime Minister Juncker in surprise: "Uncle Juncker, this weishenme in this wild country, I saw the train?" ”

Juncker's heart was also extremely shocked, in fact, he knew more than the underage Princess Charlotte, this ravine's train was actually an electric locomotive developed by the German company Siemens, which seemed to have not yet begun to be popularized on a large scale in Europe. But he still pretended to be calm: "Dear princess, don't be surprised, in the era of Lafayette as the Chinese say, they have already begun to build railways." According to Phillips' report, this railway should be the Antong Railway led by the Belgian Warby Bank, and the end of the railway is the end of our trip to China. ”

Fortunately, there is no difference between the next passage county and the dilapidated Chinese towns that everyone has seen all the way, otherwise Mr. Juncker, the deputy prime minister, would be extremely embarrassed.

But the train stopped briefly in Jingzhou, and everyone came down to look at the magnificent and pure German Jingzhou Railway Station. At this time, 200 meters away from the passenger platform, a whole train of cement produced by the Jingzhou Cement Plant was being loaded. Deputy Prime Minister Juncker is an industrial capitalist, he walked over curiously, and after the coordination of the accompanying reception officials, he opened a bag of cement, grabbed it with his hand, and was immediately shocked, God, the Chinese also produce cement, and it is also standard European cement designation, this, how is this possible?

In the urban area of Jingzhou, there are already buildings with more than three floors, and there are quite a few of them, so everyone did not say anything and continued to follow the train. There were also a number of officers and soldiers in Jingzhou, about several hundred, who were said to have been transferred to Qiancheng to supplement the new division, and it seemed that the Chinese warlords mentioned by Phillips were expanding their military shili, but when they were in Guangzhou, their Belgian friends clearly told themselves that the war in China was over, and that this warlord was going to start a new war? That's not good......

In Anjiang, in the newly renamed governor's mansion, Wang Zhenyu is guarding Ye Ziwen's bedside, our Miss Ye has been seriously ill since the military parade made Wang Zhenyu fight hard, and she has just recovered in the past two days, but she still can't eat anything.

"My dear, this time I did a little too much, but you also have to understand the difficulties of being a husband. You are my wife, your words and deeds are what I mean in the eyes of outsiders, you want to build a summer resort, I didn't say no, I have asked Zhenbang to deal with the problem of money, this project continues, I will arrange another group of workers to the construction personnel, the railway is a business matter, and it cannot be delayed. Wang Zhenyu has no Huwei outside at home, and he is holding a bowl of porridge at the moment, and he even coaxed and persuaded his wife to drink it. If Bai Chongxi's subordinates saw this, they would have to shatter their glasses.

But our Miss Ye still didn't give up: "If you don't fix it, you won't go, but Guowei is still young, and you are scolded and sent to prison, and you say that you will be sentenced, how can you make people think about it?" You're still his brother-in-law. ”

As soon as Wang Zhenyu heard the name of his brother-in-law, his face immediately turned pale: "Why are you still talking about this matter, you think that you are protecting him to be good to him, and you don't look at what Guowei is like now." The whole thing is a big hooligan, don't give a lesson, when he grows up, he won't turn the sky upside down, and besides, you know how bad the impact of your transfer of my guard team to the police station to rob people this time is? ”

Ye Ziwen's tears came down again when she heard this: "I don't care, he is my younger brother, I won't allow others to bully him, and you can't do it, I won't drink this porridge, you take it, you will shoot our sister and brother, anyway, you are handsome." ”

After speaking, Ye Ziwen went to the quilt, and on the side of her body, the quilt was immediately pulled over.

Wang Zhenyu immediately panicked, this grandmother, he put the porridge on the bedside table, and pulled Ye Ziwen with his hand: "Okay, okay, I promise you that you can't do it, you drink the porridge obediently first, and when it's over, I'll let Wang Hu go and fish people out." ”

Ye Ziwen hurriedly sat up and looked at Wang Zhenyu's face and said, "Are you serious? Not kidding me? ”

Wang Zhenyu hurriedly scooped up a spoon of white porridge: "Really, really, really, how dare I lie to you, I am the most particular letter in leading the soldiers, alas, drink this porridge quickly, baby, it's almost cold." ”

"Hmm" Ye Ziwen burst into tears and laughed, lowered her head and drank the porridge......

Wang Zhenyu smiled and opened the door with his back to the corridor, and said with his face to the door: "You rest in peace, Jingsheng asked the nurse to report to my mother, haha, I have remembered the matter of Guowei, and I will do it immediately." ”

As soon as the door closed, Wang Zhenyu's face immediately turned pale, and Wang Chenhao immediately stepped forward and waited for the order without saying a word.

Wang Zhenyu gritted his teeth and said: "You let Wang Hu go, find Zhang Jingkun, the mayor of Anjiang City, who has just taken office, and let him find a way to get this Ye Guowei out." If this kid causes trouble for me again, you should be careful, make a false impression of human trafficking in the underworld, and send him to repair the railroad for a month and then get it back, so that he can have a better memory. ”

Wang Chenhao nodded and took the order. Wang Zhenyu thought about it, and then walked to the study and hung up a phone call to Zhao Hengti: "Brother Yiwu, I'm really sorry, you also know that there have been too many things recently, how about it, how was the inspection in my small military academy?" If you are interested, just do it with me, don't say anything else, just talk about our brother's friendship and your ability, a deputy chief of general staff is casual, you have to be interested, it's okay to be a military commander, hahaha......"

On November 5, like all lottery winners who won 5 million, Wang Zhenyu greeted the guests from the Principality of Luxembourg with great reverence, well, and the interest-free loan of five million pounds. Just yesterday, after careful consideration, Zhao Hengti rejected Wang Zhenyu's invitation, and was only willing to accept the false title and division-level treatment of senior senators, the reason was that he had promised Tan Gong that Tan Gong would supervise Hunan again in the future, and he would follow him. Wang Zhenyu couldn't smile bitterly at this, Tan Yanmin is not just supervising Hunan again, people have supervised Hunan three times in history, strictly speaking, four times, but the fourth time they have been promoted, and there is no way to succumb to the boss of Hunan.

Walking out of the Gothic-style An Giang train station, Princess Charlotte immediately fell in love with the clean and tidy city.

God, God, the Chinese still have cars. Deputy Prime Minister Juncker was already numb with surprise, he really couldn't imagine that in such a backward country, there would be such a city comparable to Luxembourg, and this city is not a concession, but really belongs to the Chinese, or belongs to the Chinese warlord, and the honor guard who came to greet it seems to be elite in Europe from the perspective of military posture and equipment, but I don't know how many such elites there are, how will they behave on the battlefield?

"Are you General Wang Zhenyu, whom Consul Phillips often mentions? You look really young," Princess Charlotte greeted Wang Zhenyu very politely.

Wang Zhenyu didn't know much about the so-called Western etiquette, out of respect for women, he didn't rush to stretch out his hand, just put his hands flat, leaned forward slightly, and said: "Welcome distinguished guests from Luxembourg, please allow the mayor of our city, Mr. Zhang Jingkun, to present you, the incomparably noble Princess Charlotte, with a golden key (gold-plated) symbolizing the friendship between the people of China and Luxembourg, and confer on you the title of honorary citizen." ”

Zhang Jingkun, who has lived for most of his life, has never even seen Manchuria, actually saw the European princess, and almost lost his temper, but fortunately, he was reminded by the staff that he completed the gift and awarding of keys and certificates.

This bullshit ceremony was planned by Phillips, and if Hans the German or Frankie the Belgian were there, they would have told Wang Zhenyu that it was not appropriate, because you are only a head of local government, and this meeting without the authorization of the central power cannot use formal diplomatic etiquette. But it doesn't matter, it seems that in Chinese history, warlords were originally representatives of no rules.

Subsequently, Wang Zhenyu and Zhao Hengti also accompanied the Luxembourg delegation to walk around the entire Anjiang New Town, visiting the wharf, factories and garden communities. Along the way, Princess Charlotte praised the city's hygiene and cleanliness, as well as the beauty of the buildings, the spaciousness of the roads, and the orderliness and civility of the residents. Princess Charlotte even whispered to Wang Zhenyu through an interpreter when she was riding the tram: "Dear General Wang, can I live in this city in the future?" ”

Wang Zhenyu replied very politely: "Yes, very welcome." ”

In my heart, I thought that in addition to you, other Luxembourgers would be settled in Liuzhou.

One stop in Zuihou is the Governor's Palace, where a grand dinner awaits these important guests from Europe......
