The year 4612 (14) of the Yellow Emperor Era was undoubtedly a bumper year for the Chinese Empire. During this year, the empire has achieved fruitful results, so that the empire is moving towards a true world power.

Economically, the empire's industry and commerce developed rapidly. Because of the distribution of land, the life of the peasants is getting better and better. It can be said that the empire has solved the problem of food and clothing for 90 percent of the population. The remaining 10 per cent are mainly people living in areas with relatively poor geographical conditions. Of course, the next goal of the imperial government was to continue to emigrate these people to the South Seas or Siberia. There is also a large amount of fertile land available for reclamation.

Industrially, the first five-year plan has been completed, and the second five-year plan has begun. The empire's industry was developing rapidly, and thanks to the outbreak of war in Europe, the empire's industry was like a stimulant* shot and reached new highs. In particular, the military industry and those related industries have developed rapidly.

In the field of transportation, the empire has completed the construction of major railway lines. The construction of an extension line is now underway, as well as the construction of a number of feeder railways. In terms of highway construction, it is developing rapidly. New roads are being built between towns and cities. This greatly improved the transportation conditions of the Empire. The improved transportation conditions not only accelerated the economic development of the empire, but also benefited the national defense.

In the political and military field, the empire once again defeated the Japanese navy in this Sino-Japanese conflict, making the Japanese navy return to the pre-liberation period overnight. Apart from one battlecruiser 'Hiei', there was not a single capital ship left. Even if Japan rebuilds its navy, it will not pose any threat to the empire in a short period of time. Not to mention the repeated crushing defeats of the Japanese Navy. In addition to the loss of equipment, there is also a loss of talent. This further weakened the war potential of the Japanese Navy, and the gap between it and the Imperial Navy widened. It can be said that the empire has completely suppressed Japan. If Japan wants to turn over, it will be impossible at all.

With the outbreak of war in Europe, the empire has become an important force in shaping the development of the world situation. Neither the Central Powers nor the Entente. None of them will offend the empire at this time. The empire can take advantage of this opportunity to continuously sell weapons and equipment and war materials to both sides, and make a lot of war windfalls. In this case, European wealth and advanced technology will continue to flow into China. After absorbing this wealth and technology, China will become stronger and stronger, and truly grow into a world-class power.

Now, the situation in the empire can be described as very good, which makes Wu Haoxuan very satisfied. The situation was very favorable to the Empire, both at home and abroad. Predictable. In a few years, the empire will be able to grow into a world-class power.

The New Year of the Yellow Emperor Era 4613 (15) is very lively. There is no war in the Empire, and everyone is celebrating the New Year. As the empire's economy grew faster and faster, so did the purchasing power of the common people. The people with bulging pockets will not be stingy in purchasing New Year's goods. This year is full of joy and peace.

Compared to war-torn Europe. An empire in peace is undoubtedly a paradise. This also makes the Empire a candidate for capital and highly qualified people who are eager to leave Europe. Of course. More Europeans are choosing to go to the United States. Compared with China, the United States is closer to Europe in terms of culture and traditions and values, which makes the United States the first choice for these Europeans to immigrate.

On February 21, the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Imperial Cabinet had already begun to work. On this day. Emperor Wu Haoxuan also convened a pre-imperial meeting. At the meeting, Wu Haoxuan affirmed everyone's work last year. At the same time, New Year's expectations were put forward, hoping that everyone can continue to work hard this year to make the empire stronger.

Now the empire. It is undoubtedly in a golden time for development. If you miss it, I'm afraid it will take several times as long to catch up.

It can be said that during the Spring Festival holiday, the military and political departments of the empire were busy. The government began to issue decrees to promote the development of the empire's industry in accordance with the contents of the Second Five-Year Plan. The army is training and preparing for battle. Although, the empire now remains neutral. But no one can guarantee that they will not suddenly declare joining the war because of some unexpected events. Once the Empire enters the war, the Empire's armies must be prepared. Otherwise, it would be a shame to expect from the emperor and the people. What's more, the empire has long begun to lay out in Russia. Maybe it won't be long before it comes in handy.

After the Imperial Council, Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, and General Chen Xudong, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, jointly met with Wu Haoxuan.

"Two, just after the New Year's holiday, did you two start to get busy?" Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how can you Chinese celebrate the Spring Festival, but foreigners can't! Although because of the winter, the war in Europe has stopped. But as the weather warms up, there are signs of the beginning of the war. Both the Allies and the Entente were trying to woo the Empire in the hope that it would join them. At the same time, they increased their orders to order more weapons and other war materials from the Empire. Tang Shaoyi said.

"That's a good thing! It seems that this year, the industry of the empire will once again usher in a huge development. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. The more orders placed by the countries of Europe, the more money the empire was able to make.

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, the British intensified their inspections of Imperial merchant ships, and many merchant ships destined for Germany were inspected by the British Navy. Although it was not detained, I am afraid that this move has some deep meaning. Tang Shaoyi was a little worried.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, he knew that it was a matter of time or time. China sold war materials to the Entente and at the same time transfused blood to the Allies. This, of course, will make the British unhappy. The British Navy blockaded the German coastline in order to completely block Germany. By doing so, the Empire is completely destroying the British blockade! If Germany could be completely blocked, it would have been easier for the Allies to win the war.

Of course, this is not what the Empire wants to see. The Empire wants more blood from the nations of Europe!

"Appeal to the British government the Empire's protest. The British Navy did not have the right to search the merchant ships of the Empire. I'll let the Navy make a proper statement. Wu Haoxuan said.

The Empire now has a powerful navy, and once it flexes its muscles, even the British will probably have to weigh it.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Shaoyi nodded.

Subsequently, Tang Shaoyi said goodbye and left first, leaving Admiral Chen Xudong to continue to inform Wu Haoxuan of the emergency.

"Your Majesty, half a month ago, a group of special guests came to Yanjing, and they hoped to have a meeting with Your Majesty." Admiral Chen Xudong said.

"Special guests? Who wants to see me? Wu Haoxuan was stunned. You know, he is now the emperor of the empire, and not everyone can see him. On the one hand, he has limited energy and cannot do everything himself. On the other hand, it is for his safety. Although the empire is now a country and the people are safe, there are still people in the country who hate the imperial government and the emperor. There are also some hostile forces abroad, I am afraid that they also wish Wu Haoxuan died.

"Your Majesty, we have ascertained their identities. They are people from Russia, who are Russian financiers, factory owners, scientists, etc. Admiral Chen Xudong said.

Wu Haoxuan's brows couldn't help frowning, he didn't remember that he had a relationship with these elites in Russia!

"Your Majesty, they are all Jews of Russia. After Russia entered the war, the Russian government began to aggressively oppress the Jews in the country in order to raise military spending. Many Jews were even arrested on the charge of collaborating with the enemy. As for the property, naturally all of it was confiscated. It can be said that the situation of the Jews in Russia is very bad at the moment. So, the minister reckoned that these Jews must have come to seek help from the Empire. Admiral Chen Xudong said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the fate of the Jews was not very good, even very bad. All nations are ostracizing Jews. Admittedly, however, the Jews were indeed outstanding, and the elite among them were either wealthy bankers or businessmen, or brilliant scientists or artists. It's no wonder that those countries are unhappy with them.

"As my representative, talk to them first, and find out what they want to do. Then, depending on whether I want to meet with them or not. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Admiral Chen Xudong nodded.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, General Chen Xudong, director of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau, met three foreigners, two men and one woman, in an ordinary hotel. The two men were both in their sixties, and the other woman was a beautiful young woman in her early twenties.

"Your Excellency General, thank you for taking the time to meet us! My name is Barthes, this is Mr. Delon, and this is Miss Afra. A tall, thin old man introduced.

"Hello, please take a seat." Admiral Chen Xudong nodded, and at the same time, he began to guess the intentions of these Jews.

"General, the Chinese have a saying called straight to the point. So, I'm going to get straight to the point. The general should know that we were persecuted by the government in Russia, and life was very difficult. Therefore, we implore China to lend a helping hand to us and save us poor people. Barthes said with a sad expression. (To be continued.) )
