Chapter 1125 Visits to Belgium

"Hehehe...... Therefore, you and Zhaoyi are one singing white face and the other red face, which can offend the French fiercely. Li Fushou said with a smile.

The five major countries participating in the Paris Peace Conference were Britain, France, Italy, and Japan, and each country sent two representatives to the conference, forming a 10-member delegation to decide on the main terms of the treaty with Germany.

One of the extraordinary plenipotentiaries of the Ocean Empire was Lord Tang Zhaoyi, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the other was Marshal Li Xuanzhu.

Hearing the Holy Lord's question about this, Marshal Li Xuanzhu bowed respectfully and replied; "The French are only thinking of putting Germany to death, as the old saying goes; We do not agree with the French plan, and there is no need to take care of their feelings. ”

"The French are aggressive, but why not the Germans? Anyway, a slap doesn't make a sound, this is not a long memory! France and Germany will be neighbors forever, and no one can move away, when will it be a head if this trouble continues? ”

"What the saint said is extremely true, and the ministers are impressed!"

"Forget it, these European countries are messing around, let's ignore them." Li Fushou waved his hand, turned to look at the generals present, and asked with a warm expression;

"Seeing that all of you are in good spirits, it can be seen that you are quite comfortable in Europe, and you look a little happy, and you don't seem to be in a hurry to return to China, right?"

These words made all the generals present laugh, and Marshal Bian Chunsong replied; "Qi Qi Sheng, the whole army is now stable in the hearts of the people, the supply is sufficient, and most of the officers and soldiers have found girlfriends in the local area, and life is indeed enjoyable. However, we always keep in mind the sacred mission we are shouldering and never dare to slack off. ”

"Well, the war is over, this string doesn't need to be tightened too tightly, and the combination of work and rest is the long-term way."

"Wei Chen and other representatives of the whole army, thank the Holy God for his compassion, Long Grace is mighty, how dare you not serve the death force to repay the Holy Grace?"

"The expeditionary army has established immortal achievements in Europa, showing the demeanor of a world-strong army, playing a majestic and glorious role, I am very relieved, there is no need to treat the sons and daughters of the army harshly, the way of domination, strict and lenient is also good."

Li Fushou summoned the generals, originally with the intention of giving grace, and the praise of every word and smile was the emperor's grace, which made the generals as excited as chicken blood.

When he said this, he turned his head to look at the newly promoted Field Marshal Duan Qixiang, and said with a look of appreciation flashing in his eyes; "Marshal Qixiang, your 2nd Army is a big surprise for me!"

"Initiating the Holy Lord, only a little bit of work, the Holy One descended a mighty grace, and the Wechen were terrified."

"Marshal Qixiang doesn't have to apologize, this honor is your deserved reward, the empire will never treat any meritorious hero, the first war severely damaged the two German armies, and set the situation in Eastern Europe, what a big courage!"

"Wei Chenke didn't dare to be it, it was just a fluke."

"Hahaha...... It's just a fluke, Field Marshal Hindenburg will probably cry bitterly when he hears this, and the chief of military affairs, Ludendorff, who has always advocated attack, must also be ashamed and inexplicable, right? ”

Li Fushou laughed happily, and casually pointed out the two highest-ranking generals in the German High Command, the kind of magnificent imperial instrument that pointed out the country, which made the generals heartbroken.

As the ultimate boss, he was in a good mood, and the atmosphere of the meeting was extraordinarily relaxed and pleasant.

Early the next morning

Li Fushou summoned the three marshals and Vice Admiral He Jiaben, deputy commander of the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet, to emphasize military discipline and demand that the management of violations of law and discipline be strengthened, so as not to ruin the reputation of the imperial army.

People are selfish, and of course there are some scum in the army of millions, who are extremely inflated after victory, get carried away, and do something out of the ordinary.

Among these people, a small number of middle- and high-ranking generals have taken advantage of their positions and powers to buy and sell, hoard, and oppress the wealthy merchants in the occupied areas regardless of their appearance, and even take over people's houses and land, disregard people's lives, occupy their wives and daughters, and do all kinds of ugly things.

For this kind of moth, the external personnel of the Political Intelligence Bureau and the Security Bureau have collected a thick layer of black material, which adds up to more than one person tall.

According to Li Fushou's instructions;

"The children of each family will be brought back to take care of them, and they will be severely punished by the imperial military law, and such unhealthy tendencies will be killed so as not to tarnish the glory of the empire."

After the order was issued, the gendarmerie immediately went out in all directions, took people according to the list, and vigorously arrested and imprisoned all the more than 1,300 officers involved and sent them to a military court for trial.

This big move immediately attracted the attention of European public opinion, and after a brief silence, a tsunami of praise followed.

Let's be honest

The army of this era, whether it is Britain, France and Italy or the Ocean Empire, the military discipline is not very strict, it is better at home, and it is herding sheep abroad.

Extortion and extortion are commonplace, and the phenomenon of forcibly robbing people's daughters and oppressing the people in the occupied areas is very common, and even if they report to the headquarters of the governor of the occupied areas, it is difficult to hear any movement.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force's rectification of military discipline and the crackdown on a large number of wanton and reckless moths can be described as a great joy to the hearts of the people, winning the praise of the people in the occupied areas, and the discipline of the army has taken on a new look.

After visiting France, the emperor arrived in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, by train, and the Belgian king and queen led the royal family members to hold a grand welcome ceremony at the railway station, preparing a guard of honor and a red carpet to greet them with the highest etiquette.

This way

The train passed through more than a dozen war-torn northeastern provinces in France, passed through war-torn towns in Belgium, and saw countless charred ruins and shocking trenches in vast fields, as if tearing the earth apart.

Li Fushou witnessed all this with his own eyes and was particularly deeply touched.

This is not a description in the report document, but a tragic scene after the catastrophe, the battlefield that once swallowed millions of lives, so vividly displayed in front of you.

The emaciated, glazed-eyed French peasants in the fields have a huge sensory impact.

No matter what country you are in, the lives of people in troubled times are like mustard!

From this, he also thought of Tsarist Russia, where a large-scale civil war was breaking out, and in eastern Ukraine alone, in the great famine in the spring of early 19, no less than 650,000 people were starved to death, and more than 2 million people fled the famine.

The civil war in Tsarist Russia was extremely bloody and tragic, and after the Soviet Russian armed forces captured the towns where the white bandits were entrenched, they would drag out the rich landlords, the old nobles and merchants, and the families of reactionary officers and soldiers to be executed in order to set an example.

And after they left, the rebellious white bandit forces made a comeback. They will also mercilessly kill active workers' movementmen, those who helped the armed forces of Soviet Russia with food and livestock.

Its methods are as ruthless as they are in the treatment of aliens.

The civil war has reached this level, and it is the common people who really suffer, and the small amount of grain that has been scavenged over and over again has been scavenged, and they can only pick wild vegetables and gnaw tree bark to survive.

Every nation that has attained nirvana in the ruins of suffering has a particularly strong will, and it is also stronger.

Brussels train station

King Albert I of Belgium was extremely humble in front of the visiting Emperor Li Fushou of the Oceanic Empire, and Brussels, which was badly devastated by the war, was the city liberated by the First Army, and there are still two infantry divisions stationed on the outskirts.

The strong Allied garrison made the Belgians feel extra safe, so they were very popular.

After a brief greeting, Li Fushou, accompanied by King Albert I, stepped on the red carpet to inspect the Belgian guard of honor.

Let's be honest

He really didn't leave any impression on this kind of honor guard of a small European country, the military appearance was messy, the queue was loose, and the height of the officers and soldiers was uneven, so how could there be any military appearance to speak of?

"Your Majesty the Emperor, on behalf of the Belgian people, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and your mighty army for your immortal efforts to liberate Belgium from its fate of German enslavement." Albert I said gratefully.

Li Fushou waved his hand indifferently and said; "The indomitable spirit of your soldiers in the war against the mighty German army is impressive, and I would like to pay tribute to you and the Kingdom of Belgium."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty the Emperor, and I would also like to thank your country for supporting Belgium's demand for the abrogation of the Treaty of London of 1839 at the Paris Peace Conference."

"The Reich respected the call of the Kingdom of Belgium, and the Treaty of London, 1839, which established Belgium's independent status, also imposed a clause of neutrality, which made Belgium particularly helpless in the face of German aggression." Speaking of this, Li Fushou showed a smile on his face and said in an accentuated tone;

"As an independent country, Belgium has the right to strengthen its armament construction in order to safeguard its national sovereignty and independent integrity, and the empire will spare no effort to support the Kingdom of Belgium and is willing to provide relevant military assistance."

"Thank you very much, this is exactly what we need the most." Albert I replied with an excited expression.

At this time, the sonorous and powerful military music sounded, and Li Fushou, accompanied by the Belgian king, set off for the palace where he stayed, and in the evening he would also attend a welcome dinner held by the Belgian king to deal with the fawning of a large number of European nobles.

The visit to Europe is being planned.

In order to ensure the safety of the visit, the local garrison and the Belgian military police have imposed a partial siege on Brussels, which has been devastated by the war, along the streets of the Seine, with three steps and one sentry at five paces.

Hundreds of black crown sedans with imperial flags drove through the streets, each with the royal emblem on it, and the front and rear guards of the convoy were escorted by tall armored vehicles.

The Belgians who witnessed this scene were stunned, as the capital of a European country, they had some insight and knew that every black crown car was worth a lot of money, and it was synonymous with status and status.

There are so many "hulala" driving over at once, not to mention this shock, is this the grandeur of a great country?

There are also two of the Belgian royal family in this kind of top-of-the-line crown car for the royal family, which is the exclusive seat of King Albert I and the queen, and the royal couple has attended many royal events, and many Belgians know that it is quite popular.

Who would have thought

When the emperor of the Ocean Empire visited, he took out more than 100 cars at once, this battle is really outrageous, no wonder the Ocean Empire is called a tyrant country, but it is really rich!
