Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At two o'clock in the afternoon on September 25, on the pier of Dagu Port, the imperial crown prince Wang Zirui was dressed in military uniform. By the end of the war, he was already an army major!  However, this is probably his only chance to go on the battlefield!  The next war is expected to take several years, and at that time, his work will turn more to domestic political affairs rather than foreign wars!

    "Your Highness, Mr. Tang sent a telegram saying that the fleet will not be able to enter the harbor for another hour." A palace guard reported to Wang Zirui!

    "Well! I understand, let everyone be prepared, but don't lose the majesty of the empire in front of those foreigners!" Wang Zirui said!  After becoming the prince of the empire, he knew that the responsibilities on his shoulders were getting bigger and bigger!  However, he also knew that he was destined not to become a great emperor like his father!  When he was in his teens, Emperor Wang Yuze deliberately taught him about democracy, letting him know that an autocratic imperial country would not last long.  This has been proven by so many dynasties in Chinese history!  The first few generations of emperors may have worked hard to govern, but the later emperors only knew about having fun.  In this way, a powerful empire can easily decline.  What Wang Yuze hopes to see is definitely not such an ending. He hopes that the empire he established can last for a long time, and to do this, the emperor must give up his power.  Only in this way can the continuation of the empire be guaranteed. The empire will not be overthrown under the rule of a foolish and unscrupulous emperor, and the royal family will not be exterminated to death!  When dynasties changed from one dynasty to another, few royal families were able to survive unscathed. Basically, they all suffered bloody massacres!  Wang Yuze does not want his descendants to suffer such consequences!

    "Perhaps, it's not bad to be a nominal emperor! At least, you can have a lot of time to have fun like your father!" Prince Wang Yuze thought secretly in his heart!  Emperor Wang Yuze is undoubtedly a role model for him to learn from. It was Wang Yuze who led the empire to develop step by step from a weak country to the top power in the world.  However, Wang Yuze was not as tired as the emperors mentioned in history books, but was very leisurely!  The main reason is that he decentralized power and allowed various professional talents to manage the country instead of pretending to understand and giving blind orders.  This way, while the empire is developing rapidly, Wang Yuze doesn't have to do everything personally!  However, in the early stages of the empire's development, Wang Yuze still needed to grasp the general direction of the empire's development, so that the empire could avoid detours and enable the empire to quickly surpass those established powers.

    Of course, it would be very difficult for Wang Zirui to be like Wang Yuze!  However, Wang Yuze should have planned the future development direction of the empire by then!  At that time, all administrative powers of the empire will be transferred to the cabinet, and the military will be jointly led by the royal family and the cabinet.  However, the royal family is at least a nominal leader!  The Ministry of Defense of the Cabinet will be responsible for the promotion of military generals, and the General Staff will be responsible for commanding operations and training of the army!  The prime minister of the cabinet will no longer be appointed by the emperor, but will be elected by candidates recommended by each party!  In this way, the decline of the empire due to the emperor's personal reasons can be avoided to the greatest extent possible.  Of course, it may take a long time to achieve all this.  Wang Yuze doesn't know if he will be able to see all this in his lifetime, so he needs to establish this idea in the concept of heir, and then let the entire empire develop along his plan!

    At 3 o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the majestic appearance of the two ¡®Empire-class¡¯ battleships of the Chinese Navy appeared on the horizon. The imperial people and soldiers of the army on the dock cheered.  Everyone is very excited that the empire can win this war and have such a powerful battleship!  This is undoubtedly a strong performance of Germany!

    In addition to the officials and staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent by the government to welcome the diplomatic missions from various countries, there are also representatives of the military and troops responsible for security at the pier.  In addition, there are some people from the empire who came to watch!  Now that so many countries have sent important figures to the empire to participate in the peace negotiation meeting, this is a very proud event for the people of the empire!  Some older people can even clearly remember that when China was still under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those foreign devils were rampaging across the land of China.  And now, haven't they been defeated by us?  Don¡¯t they have to come to China to participate in peace negotiations and pray for China to forgive them?

    As early as when all countries agreed to hold the Peace Conference in Paris, the major media in the empire had already started publicity, making the people of the empire full of expectations for the upcoming peace conference.  Everyone hopes that the empire can gain greater benefits from this peace conference. After all, in the past two years of war, the empire has also paid a huge price, with hundreds of thousands of casualties and astronomical military expenditures.  We have to get it back from these defeated countries!  and isGet it back twice as much!  In addition, the empire has occupied a large area of ??fertile territory overseas, and it needs to wait until the peace conference is over before it can begin immigration!  Those former imperial immigrants are now living a good life abroad, which makes many immigrants who were waiting to watch begin to actively look forward to the early end of the Peace Conference!  Under the guidance of the media, the people of the empire are already considering where to immigrate to. Is it the Indian Peninsula, Australia, or the Americas?  The empire's population is increasing, and domestic pressure is increasing. Even if the economy continues to develop, people's lives are getting better and better, but if they can live a better life, no one will object!

    The huge warship was moored on the sea about one kilometer away from the dock. The cruise ship carrying the diplomatic missions from various countries slowly docked at the dock under the guidance of the pilot ship!  The first ship to dock was the German cruise ship 'Kronprinz Wilhelm'!  As the leader of the Allied Powers, Germany is the largest country after China, so they should be the first to dock!

    Soon, the German Crown Prince Wilhelm and his party, accompanied by the Chinese Foreign Minister, walked down the gangway.

    "Your Highness, this is Crown Prince William!" Tang Shaoyi introduced to Wang Zirui!

    "His Royal Highness, welcome to China!" Wang Zirui extended his hand with a smile.

    "Your Highness, thank you for coming to the pier to greet us in person!" Crown Prince William also had a smile on his face.  Although there is a ten-year age difference between the two, they are the heirs of the two most powerful countries in the world.  Perhaps, they will also be rivals in the future!  Of course, the prerequisite is that the imperial emperor Wang Yuze can defeat Germany in his lifetime!

    After the two greeted each other, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's cruise ship also docked. Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and King Ferdinand I of the Kingdom of Bulgaria stepped off the ship, followed by the Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria.  Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Romania and others.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  As for the leaders of the defeated countries, the Chinese Crown Prince Wang Yuze only expressed a stylized welcome!  Of course they will be welcomed. The main purpose of this peace conference is to cut off a piece of fat from these defeated countries!

    As for other Mexican and Colombian leaders, they have already arrived in China a few days ago.  In addition, there are the leaders of China's tributary countries North Korea and Japan, as well as special envoys sent by allies such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, etc. They have all arrived long ago!

    "Everyone, welcome to China. We will go to the station immediately and take a special train to Beijing! Tonight, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a welcome dinner for you!" Wang Zirui said loudly!

    Afterwards, the envoys from various countries got into their cars and headed to the station!  Martial law has been enforced along the route, but some people still came spontaneously to watch these foreign missions.

    At 4 o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the special train departed from Tianjin and headed for Beijing!  An hour and a half later, the special train arrived in Beijing!  However, this one and a half hour journey once again shocked all countries!  On both sides of the railway line, there are dense factories and construction sites under construction. It can be imagined to what extent China's industrial strength has developed, which also makes the Germans worried about this.  Crown Prince William had been to China back then. He clearly remembered that although China was also developing at a high speed at that time, the level of development was far from such a high level!

    After the special train arrived in Beijing, the diplomatic missions from various countries went to their respective embassies in Beijing!  Originally, China wanted to arrange accommodation in a unified way, but all countries rejected it!  Even the embassies of the defeated countries are still preserved.  And it has been specially organized, so they can definitely live in it!  Of course, China can also understand that countries are afraid of being monitored by China, lest the bottom line of some negotiations be leaked before the negotiations begin. In this case, it will cause huge losses to all countries!

    The dinner is scheduled for 7:30 pm at Xinhua Palace.  The banquet hall of Xinhua Palace can accommodate thousands of people. Important figures from the diplomatic missions of various countries as well as senior officials of the Chinese government and military can come to attend this dinner!  Of course, the safety of the dinner is also a top priority. If anything goes wrong, it will slap China in the face in front of the whole world. This will have a huge negative impact on China's image, and China will definitely not  Will let something like this happen!  (To be continued.
