Chapter 264: Enthronement and Becoming Emperor

(Thank you for the monthly pass of PLA-24!) )

In the current world, Britain is still the only one, especially the navy, the British navy is the first in the world, even if all the countries behind it are combined, it is estimated that it is not the opponent of the British navy. Britain has a vast colony, which makes Britain need a strong navy to maintain its maritime supremacy, there is no doubt that after defeating the Spanish Armada, Britain has established maritime supremacy, and after defeating the French navy at Trafalgar in 05, Britain's maritime supremacy has been consolidated, and no country in the world can challenge Britain's maritime supremacy.

In Europe now, Germany began to develop rapidly, after defeating France and unifying Germany, because of the five billion francs reparations from Germany, as well as the cession of Lorraine and Alsace iron ore, it was simply two wings for Germany's development. At present, German industrial goods are flooding Europe, and the world is attacking with Great Britain. However, Britain occupied vast colonies that could be used to dump products, making it difficult for Germany to outdo Britain. As a rising star, Germany was far from being able to compare with Britain in the colonies, which made Germany dissatisfied from top to bottom. With the German sword, the call for more land for Germany is getting louder and louder. And Wilhelm II increased his investment in the navy precisely to catch up with and surpass the British navy, hoping to challenge Britain's maritime supremacy. However, it was very difficult for Germany to challenge Britain's maritime supremacy alone. At this time, China's rapid rise is nothing less than news for Germany. Britain has the most important colonies in Asia, and these are all within the scope of China's attack, if China and Germany form an alliance, China attacks these British colonies, it will inevitably cause the British colonial system that has worked so hard to maintain collapse, and then Britain will inevitably decline, and Germany can take the opportunity to replace it.

However, Wang Yuze is not a fool, and the current alliance with Germany will undoubtedly make China a target for Britain, and will make most of Britain's energy turn to the Far East, which is extremely unfavorable to China now. In addition, the traditional enemy of China and Japan has not yet been eliminated, and there is no energy to turn to other places for the time being. In addition, China's planned occupation of Hawaii, the Philippines, Guam, and the Mariana Islands in the next three years will require a lot of Chinese energy. And to offend Britain at this time is obviously unwise. Therefore, Wang Yuze can only apologize for Prince Heinrich's proposal to form an alliance, and China will not fight for Germany.

In the process of the rise of western Sichuan and even China, Germany provided a lot of help, which Wang Yuze has always kept in mind. In addition, if China wants to develop and establish its status as a great power, it must break the existing colonial system, and during this period, it will have to rely on France. It can be said that it is inevitable that China and Germany will come together. However, when China was unable to deal with the British threat, China would not agree to an alliance with Germany.

"His Royal Highness Prince Heinrich, I hope you can understand China's difficulties, even if there is no constraint of the alliance, we China and Germany are natural allies, because our interests are the same. Germany has developed, China is also entering a rapid development, and the 50 million people of Germany and the 400 million people of China need a broader living space, and in this regard, our goal is the same. And now, what we need to do is to be patient, work hard to strengthen our strength, and when the time comes, we will defeat our opponents in one fell swoop, get the final victory, and get what we want! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you are very right, the interests of our two countries are the same, and I believe that we will eventually become allies!" Prince Heinrich also laughed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince has come from afar, and after my enthronement ceremony, I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince can stay in China for a while longer, and I think we will definitely be able to become friends!" Wang Yuze said. 、

"I am very honored. This time, I hope to be able to visit your navy, and I would like to ask your Excellency to agree! Prince Heinrich said. The current German Navy is not necessarily weaker than the Chinese Navy. It's just that they have no actual combat experience, and the Chinese Navy is the only strong navy that has actual combat experience and defeated its opponents after entering the steam age, and in terms of combat experience, the German Navy can learn a lot. This time Heinrich went to China, accompanied by a number of naval officers, and he himself was a German vice admiral.

"No problem at all, I'll say hello to the Navy. When it comes to friends, we have no reservations! Wang Yuze said immediately. Of course, this is just a scene, and the secret weapon of the Chinese Navy to win will certainly not be exposed. For example, the fire control system and the newly built battleships, etc., these are the home weapons of the Chinese Navy, even if the relationship with Germany is good, it will not be exposed casually. Between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Now China and Germany are on good terms because they have a common enemy, and once they defeat their opponents, I am afraid that it will be time for China and Germany to fight each other.

"Then thank you, Your Excellency!" Prince Heinrich said with a smile.

In September, the autumn was high and cool, and the originally hot weather also dropped a lot because of the rain for two consecutive days, and the weather was very cool. Today's Beijing is in a state of joy, and all the citizens of Beijing and the people from all over the country have gathered at the Temple of Heaven to witness the enthronement of the emperor and the establishment of the empire today.

People put on their new clothes that they usually wear for the New Year, and although most of them still have vegetables on their faces, this can't hide everyone's excitement. The decaying and backward Manchu dynasty has been overthrown, and from today, China will open a new chapter.

At one o'clock in the morning, a neat procession set off from Xinhua Palace, led by the elite cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, who were adapted from the instructor, and they were wearing dark green dresses one by one, looking high-spirited. Behind them were the ministers of civil and military affairs of the empire, members of the cabinet, governors and deputy governors of the provinces, the headquarters of the general staff of the military, the army and navy, and the commanders of the military districts and divisions below, all riding on tall horses. It's just that their clothes have all been replaced with dark court clothes, which are originally based on Hanfu and have been improved, and the color is also the same as that of the Han Dynasty, using black. They also wore crowns on their heads, and most civilian officials wore the high mountain crown and the Jinxian crown, the former was worn by cabinet members, the latter was worn by other officials, and all military attaches wore military crowns. Behind the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, it was Wang Yuze and a harem car driving. At this time, Forget Worry Grass was wearing a crown of heaven and a bright yellow dragon robe, and he really looked like an emperor when he went up, but if he had to choose, he would prefer to wear military uniforms. However, the use of Hanfu as a dress for sacrifices and celebrations has been issued as an order, and he, as the emperor, must of course follow it first. Behind Wang Yuze's car, there was the carriage of the harem concubines, in order, first the queen's, and then the concubine's.

Xinhua Palace is not far from the Temple of Heaven, only four kilometers away, and on both sides of the pre-planned road, it has already been surrounded by people watching the ceremony.

"Long live the emperor, long live the empire!" When Wang Yuze's carriage passed, there were fanatical cheers, and the people gave enough love to this young emperor who defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty, defeated the Dongyang island nation, and ushered in a new era. Hearing the cheers of the people, Wang Yuze was very excited. Isn't that what he and his father have worked hard for so many years? It's just that Wang Xiao is less than this day, and he still needs to continue to work hard to usher in a more brilliant tomorrow for the empire.

Wang Yuze, who was excited, opened the window of the carriage and waved to the people, which aroused the cheers of the people even more. However, Wang Wei then deprived Wang Yuze of this power on the grounds of safety. Although the Manchurian tyranny* was wiped out invisibly, there were many enemies of China, especially the island countries in the East, and they were about to hate China to death, and if they took the opportunity to send people to assassinate them, it would be troublesome. Wang Yuze is still young now, and his children are still young, once he has any three strengths and two shortcomings, the road to the prosperity of the empire will be interrupted by life.

In fact, in order to ensure safety during the celebration, the Ministry of the Interior, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the garrison have already worked in good spirits. Along the way, all soldiers in military uniforms defended both sides of the road, and snipers were even deployed on some commanding heights along the way. A large number of personnel from the Military Intelligence Agency and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also dressed in compilations and mingle in the crowd, and if there is an emergency, they can deal with it immediately.

The faces of the civil and military ministers are also full of smiles, the empire is created, the current civil and military ministers, more than 90% of them are from western Sichuan, and now the empire is established, which makes them very excited, after Wang Yuze's enthronement ceremony, it is time to reward them. Everyone has been spilling their blood for so many years, isn't that actually what they are for?

The speed of the convoy was not fast, and it took a full hour to walk for a short distance of four kilometers, and it arrived at the Temple of Heaven at nine o'clock in the morning. This place has already been prepared, and representatives from all walks of life and envoys from various countries have all arrived at the viewing platform. Just wait for Wang Yuze to sacrifice to the sky, he can announce his ascension to the throne and become the emperor, and the empire is established. Everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time.
