[1272 Ito Hirobumi's Foreign Secretary Shigeru Moriyama asks for an interview]
"Oh." Zeng Siping blushed, "I am just an extracurricular interest, and I have rarely met a partner from China in Europe for a long time."
The cute CEO smiled slightly, "It is a good thing for you to care about current affairs, and you are very smart. I am very pleased that you and Sophia will stay by my side to study in the future, so you don't have to worry about having no partners."
Catherine was worried about not knowing how to speak to Emperor Hua and keep Sophia with His Majesty. When Emperor Hua took the initiative to say that he wanted to keep Sophia by his side, he was very happy and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The cute president nodded with a smile, "Nothing, the three of us were going to school together, and I'm very happy to be with them."
Catherine pulled Sophia's sleeve, "Sofia, your Majesty wants to keep you by your side, and you won't thank your Majesty."
Sofia is a simple little girl, and she has just been in high school. She looked at the cute president in a daze and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, will I go to school next to Your Majesty? Where will I take the exam then?"
Catherine was both angry and funny, "You are all going to school next to His Majesty, do you still have to worry about where to take the exam?"
Princess Katrina Kaif said to Sophia gently: "Don't worry about the exam. Do you already have a plan and what do you want to do in the future?"
"I? I want to become an architect like my mother." Sophia smiled cutely.
Catherine sighed slightly, knowing that her daughter was not a material for politics, so she hurriedly peeked at Emperor Hua's face, trying to see His Majesty's thoughts from His Majesty's face.
It doesn't matter to the cute CEO. In fact, the cute CEO has never caught a cold and lets people close to join the administrative system. If the children, relatives and friends in the family want to enter the officialdom, they have to rely on their own abilities. At first, someone asked Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Huang to join the Xuan Huang family, but Hua Huang never paid attention to this kind of backdoor arrangement. Over time, no one wanted to enter the officialdom through Hua Huang's direct appointment.
"It's great to be an architect. If you really like it, you can arrange courses in this area now." The cute president said to Catherine.
Catherine hurriedly lowered her head and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Compared with China, Tsarist Russia has a large border with Central Asia and has convenient transportation. Needless to say, Tsarist Russia must have a lot of advantage in geographically.
However, China's stronger comprehensive national strength, especially its economic strength far exceeds Russia, offsets the disadvantage of geopolitical location to a considerable extent.
The development of science and technology has also greatly improved transportation conditions, which has also had an impact on the judgment of geopolitical relations, and the connection between China and Central Asia has been greatly narrowed.
Another crucial point is that the geopolitical value of Central Asia is reflected in the hands of China and Russia.
For Tsarist Russia, the value of Central Asia is mainly reflected in the geopolitical level. The special geographical location of the Eurasian continent crossing allows Tsarist Russia to use this as a basis to exert influence on the three major sectors of East Asia, West Asia and South Asia.
In China, in addition to its geopolitical significance, Central Asia also has extremely high geo-economic value. Through the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt across Central Asia, it can greatly narrow the land connection between China and Europe and China and the Middle East. The huge economic value contained in this can greatly reduce the expansion of geopolitical influence and maintain the political and economic costs that need to be paid in the process - this is something that Tsarist Russia cannot do.
It is precisely because Tsarist Russia cannot get money in the process of governing Central Asia that after losing Siberia and Central Asia, Tsarist Russia did not take crazy revenge against China. Tsarist Russia is indeed insufficient because of long-term wars and the poor and weak economic foundation of agricultural countries. But this is a fighting country. Even if it does not have enough money, it is not impossible to work with China, which has not yet established a stable foothold in Central Asia.
Therefore, Tsarist Russia did not get money in Central Asia, but instead had to pay for the garrison and government management. This was the reason why the feudal rulers of Tsarist Russia in this era did not have a strong desire to regain control of Central Asia in 1879.
This has led to a significant weakening of the natural advantage of Tsarist Russia's connection with Central Asia, and Tsarist Russia also lacks strong countermeasures to expand China's geopolitical influence.
At the same time, Tsarist Russia's real national conditions also restricted Tsarist Russia's desire to obstruct from the inside, because after the war, the internal contradictions were too sharp.
This has made the Russian economy, which is already not powerful, worse.
Emperor Hua predicted that Tsarist Russia would have to face the difficult situation of external political isolation, internal economic stagnation or even regression within at least two or three years.
Not to mention politics. From an economic perspective, how to alleviate the negative impact of this long-term crisis is something that Tsarist Russia has to consider.
The current construction of the Central Asian Economic Belt in China is beneficial to the economic development of Tsarist Russia.
Emperor Hua suddenly gained millions of people, and a considerable number of agricultural products were purchased from Tsarist Russia, not because Tsarist Russia's things were cheap.
On the one hand, it was because the Emperor of China wanted to ease the relationship between China and Tsarist Russia. On the other hand, he traveled thousands of miles from Beijing to Central Asia. The price of grain was still higher than the price of Tsarist Russian agricultural products that added very high prices!
The distance is too long and the time to take over Central Asia is fashionable and short. These are the two most prominent problems of Emperor Hua in the management of Central Asia Province. If the third one is added, it is that Xinjiang is too weak and cannot become the driving force that drives Central Asia's economy.
Xinjiang is still relying on the northwest provinces to drive it. Unfortunately, China's current economically developed areas have only Zhili in the north, and the rest are all concentrated in the coastal areas of East China.
Central Asian province passes through Urals, Moscow and the northern part of the Southern Russian Industrial Zone, which is of great benefit to boosting Tsarist Russia's economy.
From the perspective of Tsarist Russia, they also have concerns: First of all, this east-west economic belt with Central Asia as its hub, especially the southern line layout through Central Asia to West Asia, will seriously weaken Tsarist Russia's future expansion range. What they are worried about is that China, even Europe and Turkey's influence will enter Central Asia as a result; and, after China builds Central Asia into shape, Central Asia will also be economically separated from Russia's influence.
After all, this is not a long-term source of wealth.
Moreover, the Eurasian continental bridge constructed by Central Asia can directly connect China and Europe. Moreover, Central Asia and West Asia along the route are rich in resources and are less difficult to develop. This saves exchange costs while better leveraging its economic value.
As China's control over Central Asian provinces is stable, this situation will not only weaken Tsarist Russia's control over its own economy, but also pose a great threat to the long-term stability of North Asia.
If it is based on Tsarist Russia's original intention, it is most likely unwilling to see the emergence of the Central Asian Economic Belt.
But the reality of overall decline and the pressing of European powers made Tsarist Russia urgently need fresh blood replenishment.
The Central Asian Economic Belt may have hidden dangers in the long run, but at least in the medium and short term, it is a good blood replenishing agent.
Based on this consideration, the Tsarist Russian royal family, which had already reached the bottom of their pockets, was really hard to refuse this temptation - not to mention that the only one who built this economic belt was the only China that could give itself substantial support.
Central Asia's opposition, temptation of reality, and lack of resistance means determine that although Tsarist Russia is wary of China, it really wants to take action to restrain it, but it has many concerns.
And this is exactly what the cute president and China need.
Although the process of building the Central Asian Economic Belt is destined to be full of twists and turns, as long as Tsarist Russia does not intend to use force to force the disturbance during these three years, most of the risks faced by China will be eliminated.
Even if one day Tsarist Russia recovers its vitality, the economic belt has been completed and the results have been greatly demonstrated. Even if Tsarist Russia is dissatisfied, it will be helpless.
The Emperor and the State of China are both racing at the same time.
Emperor Hua has already thought about the construction of Central Asian Province and whether to build Central Asian Province. Although gambling is very important, he still insists on taking China to the first step overseas and putting it in Central Asian Province.
"In the future, except for going to school, you can study the paperwork of the President's Secretariat with Princess Katrina Kaif." The cute president said to Zeng Siping.
Emperor Hua said this, which surprised Princess Katrina Kaf, Princess Jane, Lee Tae-hee, Katherine and Zhao Qingluo.
Zeng Siping agreed sweetly: "Okay, my father would definitely be very happy if he knew that Your Majesty personally agreed to me to enter the President's Secretariat."
The cute president smiled slightly, do you know how great a glory it is for Chinese women to enter the president's secretariat?
However, Emperor Hua thought about it again and again, this was indeed nothing to Zeng Siping. He was his fiancée, second only to the queen in terms of identity. What was this? Looking at Zeng Siping, who was 13 years old, with a tender little face, coupled with his tall and slightly developed breasts, Emperor Hua thought it was fun.
"Not only your father is happy, your entire family will be happy." Catherine smiled, looked at Zeng Siping, and then looked at Sophia. Sophia was still painting without distraction, which made Catherine sigh slightly.
The cute president and everyone present saw Catherine's thoughts. Catherine felt that Sophia did not have Zeng Siping's favor.
The cute president smiled and said, "It's nothing to join the President's Secretariat. I see that Zeng Siping likes this work. It's a good thing to get in touch with it in advance."
Princess Katrina Kaif solemnly said to Emperor Hua: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let someone educate Siping carefully."
Zeng Siping held Princess Katrina Kaif's hand intimately, "Thank you, Sister Princess."
Emperor Hua was also secretly relieved when he saw Zeng Siping and Princess Katrina Kafu getting along well.
"Your Majesty, Ito Hirofumi's diplomatic secretary Shigeru Moriyama asked to see Your Majesty." At this time, Wang Zhankui came to Emperor Hua's ear and whispered.
Chapter completed!
