Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Looking back on the year

Li Fushou was really emotional, the empire took advantage of the wonderful opportunity that Europe and the United States had no time to take care of it, and pocketed the biggest territorial benefits in the "Wool War", and completed the great expansion of the empire's territory in one fell swoop. . .

It's been three years since the end of the war, and it's really hard to endure.

Facts have proved that the patience at the beginning is very worthwhile, the four states of the Northern Union and Alaska are included in the bag without danger, although the United States is scurrying around in Europe, seeking support in a posture of being oppressed and suppressed, and infinitely aggrieved, but it has not set off much storm, let alone formed a unanimously hostile international public opinion.

This feeling is like drinking ice in winter, knowing whether it is warm or cold.

Get to the bottom of why

The first is that the international community is praising the high and the low, and most of the European powers are unwilling to offend the rising ocean empire, and have an ambiguous attitude towards the current second-class powers, even if they support it, it is superficial.

The second is that the Mi Guoyan is not popular, and has practiced the "Monroe Doctrine" for more than half a century, living his own small life behind closed doors, and has few sincere friends in the world.

His democratic and free speech is regarded as a beast in Europe, and only France, a difficult brother, supports him and overcomes difficulties together, and does not represent other European countries.

No matter how you say it, the Ocean Empire is also a member of the big family of the feudal system, and it is its own people, and the set of things of democracy and freedom in the United States is to overthrow the old ruling order, which is digging the roots of the feudal kingdom, how can you not be vigilant?

Count the mainstream societies in Europe today, the Kingdom of Great Britain, the German Empire, Tsarist Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of Norway, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Greece, the Grand Duchy of Bulgaria, the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Montenegro, the Kingdom of Romania......

How many democracies are there besides France?

Third, the timing is too good.

The outbreak of the US-Japan War and the First Balkan War at the same time made the European and American powers have no time to care about other things, but instead ask the Ocean Empire not to add to the chaos, and the posture is very low, so that this big move of the Ocean Empire will be in danger.

Try it at another time period, at least saliva sprays your face.

Li Fushou is at the height of the temple, and the world is like a palm view.

can clearly perceive the huge risks contained in the Balkan War, especially the second Balkan War, which almost ignited the beacon of the world war in advance, making his palms sweat.

Behind the Grand Duchy of Bulgaria stood Austria-Hungary, a monarch who was eager to try in the Second Balkan War, and tried to show his hand several times, but was stopped by Germany.

Because, Germany is not yet fully prepared for war with the Entente, and its armored forces are receiving new equipment one after another, and now is obviously not a good time.

Serbia is standing behind Russia, as long as Austria-Hungary dares to go down, Lao Maozi will never stand idly by, then the chain reaction caused is like a gunpowder explosion, no one can control it.

Let me ask, Li Fushou, who is in Oceania, has felt the thrill of the Balkan war, and Britain, France, and other countries that are on the front line of the confrontation between the European military blocs, how does that feel?

I'm afraid I'm so scared that my heart will go into arrest!

Today's situation in Europe is a confrontation between two major military blocs, and their international relations are like two large spider webs connected to small ones, which can move the whole body and produce an uncontrollable chain effect.

On the one hand of Britain, France, and Russia, and on the other side of Germany, Austria, and Italy, various countries are engaged in a large-scale arms race, which is becoming increasingly white-hot, and the navy is building warships, and the army is building tanks and artillery, and no one is to be outdone.

In the Far East

Japan and Russia have divided their spheres of influence in the three eastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula, and their blood feud between them is unforgettable, and they are faintly in the midst of a confrontation and cold war.

in North America

The ink of the First Sino-Japanese War, which had just ended, had not yet dried up, and both sides were building railroads in their own occupied areas, reclaiming immigrants for large-scale development, and accumulating strength to prepare for a comeback.

Resentful of not receiving help from British allies in the war, Fuso began to distance itself from Britain and approach the Ocean Empire, intentionally or unintentionally, and the relationship between the two countries was at its best in history, with constant exchanges of business and study students.

Fusang has no choice, as soon as it steps into the whirlpool of North America, it must be close to the Pacific Security Alliance led by the Ocean Empire, otherwise the ports of Los Angeles or Salt Lake City will be cut off, and the 100,000 troops in Arizona will collapse without a fight.

After the Ocean Empire acquired the North American Federation, the US government led by President Davin Porter took a correct attitude and committed to the normalization and friendly exchanges between the two countries, which made the relationship between the two countries also in the best period in history.

The United States has no choice, before eradicating the poor, hard, and sticky kraft candy of Fusang State, before clearing the huge war reparations, before smashing the arms shackles imprisoned on its body, before breaking the restraining obstacle of the Republic of Virginia, before uprooting the Naval Base Norfolk as a henchman, and before regaining control of the Panama Canal, the United States must improve its relations with the Ocean Empire.

Otherwise, the Ocean Empire has the ability to make the death of the United States ugly in minutes.

October 10th

After three and a half years of large-scale construction, the Panama Canal, which was taken over by the Ocean Empire, was opened to Panama City on this day, and His Royal Highness Li Siyuan, the Crown Prince of Qin, came to Panama City to preside over the ceremony, and the leaders of Central and South American countries and diplomatic envoys from European countries came one after another to witness and witness the trial operation of this great project that can be called the eighth wonder.

When the Royal Navy's heavy cruiser "Gluttony" flew through the locks with full flags, firecrackers, dragon and lion dances, stilt walking, etc., the unique Chinese characteristics of the celebration dance and the Central American hula dance contrasted with each other, immersed in a sea of joy.

Since then, the ocean empire has exported goods to the east coast of North America, and cargo ships can directly enter the Atlantic Ocean through the Panama Canal, and then sail north along the east coast, eliminating the need to travel tens of thousands of kilometers around Cape Horn, which greatly facilitates the economic communication between the two oceans.

Vice versa.

November 6

The first member council of the Pacific Security Alliance was held in Sydney, Australia, and the 12-storey building was held in front of the square with colorful flags.

As the leader and leader of the circle of friends, he attaches great importance to this highest-level diplomatic activity in the Pacific region, and regards this as the foundation for the next hundred years, and the core economic circle is carefully managed.

In the Sydney Palace

The eldest princess Elizabeth was married for 18 years, and returned to the empire for the first time with her two sons and three daughters.

"The sons see their father, I wish their father a long life, a long life, a long life, after 18 years, the sons of the emperor knocked to see their father's holy face, but saw that their father was dying of old age, the pain of the heart, there is no more, only begging day and night to be by his side, in order to fulfill filial piety."

Princess Elizabeth, who was lying under Her Majesty, trembled and cried tears, arousing Li Fushou's tenderness.

He said softly; "My son, I've suffered you all these years, and get up, my father has always been worried about you, but the mountains and rivers are far away, and I am stingy when I see you. I went back to meet the queen and your mother first, and then talked slowly. ”

Others are also upside, he is sorry for the eldest princess Elizabeth, who married the Ryukyu Kingdom at the age of 16, and is unique among princesses.

This was a purely political marriage, and the Earl of Queensland at that time urgently needed allies outside of Lan Fangguo, and at that time, Li Fushou at that time was more concerned about the international situation than his daughter's feelings.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Among the princes and princesses of the royal family, the only one Li Fushou feels sorry for is the eldest princess Elizabeth, in order to consolidate the close relationship with the Ryukyu Kingdom at that time, Li Fushou can only let the 16-year-old Princess Elizabeth marry and become the new Ryukyu princess.

The other princesses all married after the age of 18 or 20.

Time flies

After more than ten years, Li Fushou has a group of children and grandchildren, and he thinks more about the international situation on weekdays, and inevitably cares less for his children.

Princess Elizabeth raised her head with tears on her face, and saw that her father's tall body was still there, but his hair was gray, and his head was full of wrinkles, and she cried with an irrepressible pain in her heart;

"The sons miss their fathers day and night, I still remember that when they got married, their fathers were heroic and beautiful, and they looked back after 18 years, but they were surprised to see that their father's sideburns were gray, presumably caused by working day and night on state affairs, and the sons only hated not to share one or two, and they were really heartbroken."

Li Fushou walked down the imperial steps, stretched out his hands to help the princess up, carefully looked at her face that was no longer young, and could vaguely see the appearance of girlhood.

Time flies, and both father and daughter have changed a lot in eighteen years.

This touched the softness of his heart, and he whispered; "Silly child, since ancient times, birth, old age, sickness and death have been the way of heaven, and they have their own fixed numbers, which cannot be violated by human beings. After saying goodbye for so many years, come back this time to stay longer, and after entering the palace to meet the queen and the concubine, let your royal brother lead you around to have a look. ”

"In accordance with my father's will, my sons and daughters will enter the palace to meet the queen and the mother concubine."

"Go, they miss you very much, take the children into the palace to talk to them more, what interesting things and Ryukyu scenery to talk about, my father doesn't have to worry about it here, I'm in good health." A loving smile appeared on Li Fushou's face, and he instructed again; "You are also a parent now, don't be happy and sad in your emotions, it is not beneficial to your health, you should do more exercise on weekdays, climb high and look far, only then is the way to maintain health."

"The teachings of my father and the emperor, the sons and daughters keep them in mind and dare not forget them."
