San Francisco Bay Area

Overlooking the azure bay from the hillside, this is an upper-class residential area lined with upscale residences, beautifully manicured gardens and fountains, making it elegant and secluded.

Oakland Bay District's upscale residential area is surrounded by a beautiful bay across the ocean from downtown San Francisco, which is now connected by no bridge and requires ferries to travel between the two sides.

Generally speaking, it can be reached in more than 20 minutes, and the transportation is very convenient.

Sir Robinho was an old aristocrat from France who had been exiled to North America because of the outbreak of the bourgeois revolution at home.

Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been guillotined, decapitated with a knife, and joined the thousands of unlucky nobles who had been liquidated.

The mansion is a light gray two-story French-style palace building, which looks graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant, and is full of romantic feelings unique to France.

The doors are open

Sir Robinho and his wife led the whole family, as well as servants and black slaves, to go out in full costume to greet them, and such a large scene attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors.

The neighbors are curious, what secrets are hidden in Sir Robinho's house?

The mystery is soon revealed......

Three luxurious carriages stopped at the door of the mansion one after another, and from the carriage came a tall young man with an oriental face, accompanied by bodyguards and a secretary, who was dressed in a well-dressed and proper gown and wore a tall English bowler hat, and looked like a gentleman of noble status.

The two sides saluted at the door, and looked at the courteous and welcoming energy of Sir Robinho and Madame Sir Sir that if it weren't for the help of the young man of the East, he would have almost knelt down and kissed the ring on the hand of the young man of the East.

This scene made the neighbors of the surrounding high society frightened and speechless.

According to the aristocratic etiquette handed down from the Middle Ages, nobles generally kissed ladies and gave them a hand kiss.

But there are exceptions;

When the nobles met the king and queen, they knelt down and kissed the ring on His Majesty's hand as a sign of submission.

When the king and queen met the Pope, they knelt down and kissed the Pope's finger as a sign of deference and devotion to the Pope.

It is obvious that the young man of the East is not the Pope, so the remaining noble status is about to come out......

Everyone is not stupid, and the upper-class neighbors tremble with excitement at this amazing discovery, and begin to find ways to inquire about the identity of the mysterious Oriental.

In this era, it is impossible to keep secrets, and people have no sense of secrecy, and little by little the mysterious Oriental boy was quickly excavated.

This afternoon, I arrived in Queensland on the Oriental Viking cruise ship from Australia, deposited a huge sum of 180,000 pounds in Citibank, and a large number of men arrived on the same ship, all of them looked elite and strong.

The most striking news is heard from the coachman of Sir Robinho's family, an Oriental boy who is a descendant of royalty from a mysterious country in China.

Of course, it is from the previous dynasty.

This suffix has been gorgeously ignored by everyone, and the news spreads like the wind in the noble residential area, and soon becomes uninhabited, unknowing.

I don't know how it spread, this young oriental man named Li Fushou directly became the crown prince of the dynasty.

It was like a boulder dropped on the calm waters, setting off earth-shattering waves, and even San Francisco, across the Bay Area, shook.

There was an endless stream of nobles visiting Sir Robinho's mansion, and there was a long queue of carriages at the door, but all of them refused to visit.

Now, it can make a group of upper-class celebrities angry;

This damn Frenchman, this guy who deserves to be guillotined, I don't know what shit luck I had, and I actually caught up with the unspeakably expensive royal descendants of Dongfang Shenzhou.

What is particularly infuriating is that we were not allowed to go in to meet His Excellency the Crown Prince.

A group of old European aristocrats and upper-class people were angry, looking at this posture, there was a kind of momentum to tear Robinho to pieces.

Everyone is afraid of their own identity, and they are not embarrassed to do too much.

Didn't wait long

The arrival of Ben Lewis, the manager of Citibank, caused another commotion.

"Mr. Ben-Lewis, what the hell is going on?"

"Damn Robinho pretending to be a shrunken turtle at home, why don't you let us in, I presided over the noble ball, and every time the door was open to welcome him, he treated me like this......"

"Yes, we need to hear an explanation, you understand the situation, make it clear in person."

"What do you say clearly? It is so obvious that Ben-Lewis and Robinho are wearing a pair of trousers, and they are complicit in preventing us from meeting the incomparably noble royal family of the East, and I want to expose your despicable conspiracy. ”

Surrounded by a crowd of agitated upper-class people, Ben-Lewis was able to feel his weight rise dramatically, and the feeling of being held in high esteem made him feel a little fluttery.

"Gentlemen, be silent, please be silent."

Ben-Lewis stretched out his arms and pressed down hard, straightened his stomach and said; "I know very well that I personally arranged for the £180,000 in cash to be deposited in Citibank, and that Mr. Lee's royal status is also unmistakable, and that a large number of his men arrived, all of which I can attest.

But gentlemen, please pay attention to your manners, there are so many of us here that it is impossible for us to all of them to meet Your Excellency.

I suggest that you choose a few people of high moral standing, not too many, but three or four, and I will accompany you to your audience. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by a surging commotion.

"Fart...... What is highly respected, Lao Tzu is a highly respected person, my family is in Florence, Italy, with a history of more than 400 years......"

"Why did you stop us from coming to the audience, the rules should not be set by you."

"Yes, I don't care about the others, but I must go to meet His Excellency the Crown Prince, and I have brought 20 barrels of the estate's finest wine."

"Phew, it's disgusting that you, a copper-smelling wine merchant, want to meet you."

"What are you talking about? My ancestors were knights. ”

The crowd was in a mess, and no one would give in, and Ben-Lewis was helpless when he saw this, his head was as big as a fight, and he was in pain and happy.

At this time

Mr. Fischer, Congressman, squeezed out of the crowd and took Ben-Lewis's hand and said enthusiastically; "Dear Ben, I miss you."

"Uh...... Fischer, don't you live in the San Francisco Bay Area? ”

"I'm a well-informed member of Congress, what can I hide from me in Florida?" Fischer boasted triumphantly, and suddenly took Ben-Lewis's hand and whispered; "Man, the two of us are alumni of the University of California, close teammates on the English football team, and the relationship is different from ordinary people, I will go in and take me with me later, I ......"

The University of California is located in the suburbs of Oakland, which is a famous institution under the jurisdiction of Oakland, which is the original site of the famous University of California, Berkeley, and has nothing to do with San Francisco.

Now in this era

As the western terminus of the Central Pacific Railroad, Oakland is a world-class deep-water port with a thriving trade and industrial development far greater than San Francisco.

After 10 years of gold mining, San Francisco's gold resources were gradually depleted, and it fell into a bottleneck stage of development.

It was originally a seaside town, which rose to prominence due to the gold rush and declined due to the depletion of gold resources.

Seeing Congressman Fischer's courteous appearance, Ben-Lewis rolled his eyes and smiled, and said mildly; "Actually, the honorable Mr. Li may be willing to meet with you, because of the need to return to China, he hopes to be able to send some of his subordinates to the United States Naval Academy for further study, I contacted the board of directors through Citibank, and there are several congressmen who are close to Citibank who are willing to provide letters of recommendation......"

"Wait, have you already reported this?"

"It's not time yet, I'm getting ready to ......"

"Don't ...... Dear Ben, wait a minute, I can personally issue a letter of recommendation, and I can also contact other members of Congress from my party to issue letters of recommendation, this is not a problem, as a distinguished member of the royal family of the East, I am sure that the US Naval Academy will not turn down these foreign cadets. ”

"Fischer, I listened to Mr. Li's tone, it seems that he is not ready to arrange many subordinates for further study at one time, and the number may only be a few."

"How's that going to work?" Fischer had a look on his face that I think of you; "Maybe Mr. Li doesn't know the following specific situation, the United States Naval Academy has many departments, the command department, the navigation department, the gun department, the pole mine and torpedo department, the navigation tracking and control department and so on more than a dozen majors, how can it be enough to send only a few people for further study? If we want to form a new-style fleet as soon as possible and complete the great cause of restoring the country, we must train at least 20 people at a time, and it will last for more than 10 or even 20 years. ”

Looking at the other party's righteous expression, Ben-Lewis was secretly proud in his heart, and he achieved his goal with a little trick.

Many things have been like this throughout the ages, the children of American civilians are unattainable, and the admission quota of the United States Naval Academy, which is regarded as a treasure by the children of nobles, is unexpectedly worthless at this time.

This is the venerable dragon son and grandson of the Oriental royal family, if he speaks, the US government will also give a thin face, what is the number of places in a few schools?

If you can use this to build a layer of relationship, it will be very beneficial, at least in terms of the relationship with the Eastern empire and Asia, and it will have a great impact on the political career.

Depending on the position of the station, the angle from which the problem is seen is completely different.

Compared to these huge benefits, several school referral slots are nothing, including the U.S. Naval Academy and West Point, and members of Congress have recommended slots every year, generally no more than two.

Many members of Congress do not use this privilege for the simple reason that they do not use it;

The parents of the students they want can't give it, and they can't give it to the parents of the students, so they simply give up the right to recommend.

Look around the world

From Europe to Asia, there are large and small monarchies, and the new capitalist states such as the United States, Argentina and France, which are few and far between, are seen as completely outliers and are treated as a predatory beast in Europe.

The baby is bitter, but he doesn't say it.

Half a century after the self-isolating Monroe Doctrine, don't Americans want to strengthen exchanges with Europe and Asia?

Of course I want to, but others don't want to!

The French Third Republic was founded in 1870, Paris was the center of revolutionary thought in the whole of Europe, anarchism, utopianism, utopianism, capitalism can find its survival here, and it is a bad boy in the eyes of all European monarchies, and the object of strict guard.

Although Fisher was a member of Congress, he didn't know much about the Oriental Divine Continent than others, only that it was an ancient and long-standing Oriental civilization, with a vast and rich area.

The Chinese dragged a ridiculous pigtail behind their heads, paid thousands of lives for the construction of the Central Pacific Railway, and had the impression of being down-to-earth and hardworking, docile and introverted.

Oh, and by the way, and dragons that breathe fire.

As for the other questions and tries, they all rely on brain supplements, and there is no one else.

With the arrival of Li Fushou, there is a poem that vividly describes the current scene:

Fighting, fighting, startling a shoal of gulls and herons.
