The next day, Emperor Hua and his group set off in the afternoon and headed for Brussels.

Princess Katrina Kaif chatted: "Belgium was one of the earliest countries in the European continent to carry out industrial revolution in the early 19th century. It was at the intersection of Europe, both geographically and culturally. The capital Brussels has the world-famous ancient battlefield of Waterloo. The ancient Celtics also lived in Belgium."

The cute CEO nodded. He actually knew that Princess Katrina Kaifu knew about her separate relationship with Catherine last night. Emperor Hua knew that the number and extent of the matter were not less than Princess Katrina Kaifu. They all shared an intelligence system. Moreover, there were particularly important information, Wang Zhankui also had a dedicated line, and he would give it to Emperor Hua for review first.

So Emperor Hua felt that Princess Katrina Kaifu was really smart and a worry-free woman. Many times, Emperor Hua felt that Princess Katrina Kaifu was a part of her body. Princess Katrina Kaifu seemed to never be jealous or lose her temper, but she was a little hostile to Zhao Qingluo. Emperor Hua knew that it was because Zhao Qingluo never accepted him, which made Princess Katrina Kaifu prejudice against Zhao Qingluo.

"If you have time, you can go and take a look." Hua Huang said casually.

"I am not interested in these scenic spots, so I will accompany you when you go," said Princess Katrina Kaif.

"In the Roman Empire, the Germans, Celtics, and Slavs were called the three major barbarians in Europe by the Romans, and they were also one of the representative ethnic groups of today's Europeans. Among them, our old rival Tsarist Russia is the Slavs. The Vistula Valley in Poland is considered to be the hometown of the Slavs and is distributed in Eastern Europe. The current Western Vinedes and Western Slavs are in Central Europe, including Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, and Sobs; the Eastern Anders are in Eastern Slavs in Eastern Europe, with Russians, Ukraines.

The Cranes, Belarusians, Luxenians; Southern Chinese Slavs, Yugoslavs, in the southeastern Europe-Balks, there are Slovenians, Croats, Serbs, Bulgarians, Bosnians, Macedonians, and Montenegros, all belong to Slavs, representing the Russians and proud of their Slav ancestry. Slavs have honor and glory. "The Emperor Hua was very interested in talking about Europe. " To understand Europe, you can understand these three ancient nations, and the Roman Empire."

"Your Majesty, if these nations had not been evenly matched and so scattered, one piece in the east and one piece in the west, I think they would have used their abilities to build a unified country like China." Princess Katrina Kaif said.

"Well, maybe, but if that's the case, they wouldn't be the center of leading the world's industrial development like this, and the decentralization also has the benefits of decentralization." The cute president smiled indifferently. No one can change history. He just needs to figure it out and be careful, and not like Princess Katrina Kaif, and occasionally have a little fantasy.

Germanic, Slavic, and Celtic are roughly three major categories of various nations outside the Roman Empire.

Celtic was originally very wide, but later gradually retreated to only Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Wales.

Most of the Irish, Welsh, Scots, Brittany, and Cornwall are descended from Celtics. In addition, Portugal also believes that they are a mixture of Germans and local Celtics who entered Iberia.

The Germans, now the ancestors of most countries in Western Europe, who entered Gaul and Aquitania later became French, those who entered Iberia became Spanish, and those who entered the Apennine became Italian.

The Slavs have three branches, the Western Slavs were Polish and Czech, Yugoslavia was from all over the former Yugoslavia, and Eastern Slavs, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Anglo-Arch, Anglo-Armenian, and later went to Britain with the Saxons and Juts, and merged into the Anglo-Saxons, and later became the current English, Vikings were the general term for the Germans in early Nordics. Some of them became Normans after going to sea and gradually merged into British, French and Italian culture. The famous conqueror William was the Norman. And those who stayed in Scandinavia later divided into Sweden, Norwegian and Danes due to regional, rulers and other reasons.

"The waffles are OK. I couldn't help but go to the street to eat a piece last evening. The rich honey fragrance makes people unable to stop. Your Majesty, do you want to have a piece?" Princess Katrina Kaif asked Emperor Hua.

The cute president likes sweets very much and smiles: "Be careful that you will get fat after eating. It takes a long time to exercise to reduce it."

"The land area of ​​Belgium is about the size of a state capital of China. But such a small area is divided into three regions: Wallonia and Flemish and Brussels. Wallonia and Brussels speak French, and Flemish speaks Flemish. Flemish is actually Dutch, but the Belgians think Flemish is softer than Dutch." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled, "Your Majesty, do you say it's fun?"

Huahuang only speaks Chinese and English, and is not interested in languages. This is still a blessing for Princess Tokatrina Kaif. Therefore, the cute president's English is authentic Hawaiian English, but it is very fluent.

"In 843 AD, the grandchildren of the Carolingian dynasty Charlemagne signed the Treaty of Verdun. The west part of the Schelde River in Flanders belongs to France and the east part belongs to the Holy Roman Empire. This is also the origin of the current French-speaking regions of Belgium and the German-speaking regions of Belgium." Emperor Hua continued.

In the 11th century, Belgium formed the feudal separatist situation in the territories of Marquis such as Cambre, Liege, Utrecht and the Counts such as Brabant, Henigo, Namur, Limburg, and Luxembourg.

The earliest cities have emerged in the Flanders and Brabant regions since the 10th century, and have developed into the first urban communes in Europe since 1071. They have developed greatly through trade with Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Byzantine and the East.

In 1280, in Bruges, Yperl and other cities broke out in Breuges and other cities, and the urban nobles formed an alliance with France in order to suppress the uprising.

In 1300, French occupation of Flanders, in 1301 and 1302, handicraftsmen in Bruges rose to resist the French and urban nobles ("Bruges Morning Prayer").

On July 11, 1302, they joined forces with the farmers of Flanders to defeat the French Knights ("Battle of the Golden Boots") near Kortrick.

In 1384, Flanders belonged to the Principality of Burgundy. In the 15th century, Burgundy successively acquired territories such as Namur, Brabant, Limburg, Henigo, the Netherlands, Zeland and Luxembourg. Belgium gradually unified.

In 1477, Belgium was ruled by the Habsburg family. From 1506 to 1713, the Habsburg family formed the Spanish Netherlands together with the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and was ruled by Spain. In 1713, Belgium returned to the Habsburg family rule. In 1789 and 1792, uprisings against Austrian rule broke out. In 1794, Austria was defeated by France in Fleurus and ceded to France.

In 1815, the Vienna Conference decided to incorporate Belgium into the Netherlands, and artificial unification led to the opposition between religion, culture and language. In 1828, the Liberal Party of Belgium and the Catholic Party formed an opposition alliance, fighting to abolish the new tax and strive for equal legal status. On August 25, 1830, the people of Brussels held an uprising. On November 18 of the same year, the National Assembly of Belgium declared Belgium independent as a constitutional monarchy, and then formulated a constitution.

On January 20, 1831, the London Conference attended by Britain, France and Prussia recognized Belgium's independence and guaranteed its permanent neutrality.

On June 4, 1831, the National Assembly elected Prince Leopold from Saxony-Coburg as king, calling Leopold I.

In 1839, Belgium signed a peace treaty with the Netherlands, and the Netherlands recognized Belgium as an independent country.

From 1831 to 1870, Belgium's coal and smelting industries developed rapidly, and Belgium transitioned from liberal capitalism to imperialism at the end of the 19th century.

In the view of Emperor Hua, these European countries, that is, they have geographical advantages and are close to Britain, the center of industrial outbreak. In fact, the industrial process of most developed European countries is not much earlier than that of China.

Fortunately, after Emperor Hua was unified in 1877, China began to strive to catch up. If it was like the original history, it would slowly wait until the Qing Dynasty died naturally, and another warlords would fight for half a century, and then when Taizu led China to start chasing, the 100-year gap would really be cold.

Since 1876, Belgium has occupied Congolese territory. Belgium is located in western Europe, bordering the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the south and west, and the North Sea to the northwest.

Two-thirds of Belgium's land area are hills and flat lowlands, with the lowest point slightly lower than sea level. The entire territory is divided into three parts: the Flanders Plain in the northwest, the hills in the central, and the Arden Plateau in the southeast. The highest point is 694 meters above sea level. The western plain is flat, with many rivers and sufficient irrigation; the eastern part is the Arden Mountains, with an elevated terrain and a high forest coverage rate. The farthest ends of the country are 280 kilometers away.

Such a large country also makes Emperor Hua sometimes feel envious. If the country is only so big, he can really play with it when he manages it. However, Emperor Hua now feels that the bigger the country, the better, and the more people the better. As his understanding of national management gradually deepens, Emperor Hua believes that people are the greatest wealth. In the past, he once thought that the smaller the population density, the happier everyone can live.

Belgium is affected by the North Atlantic warm current flowing along the coast and has a temperate marine climate, with mild and rainy throughout the year and a humid climate.

Belgium has poor natural resources and is highly dependent on resources, with only a small amount of iron, zinc, lead, copper, etc.

Today in 1879, major coal mines in Belgium have stopped mining one after another.

The forest area accounts for 23% of the land area.

If it weren't for Europe, Emperor Hua would not have seen any potential for such a country? It has a small land and few people, and is extremely lacking in resources. The Kingdom of Belgium has caught up with a good era. I can only say that the location is good, people rely on the circle of friends, and the country also rely on the circle of friends.

Princess Katrina Kaif and Emperor Hua sat in the car and talked, and they were so happy.

"Your Majesty, will our evil deeds with Tsarist Russia affect our relationship with other European Slavs?" asked Princess Katrina Kaif.

"It doesn't have much impact. As long as we are low-key and don't attack their nations, it's enough. This has evolved for thousands of years. There are some feelings between countries and nations that are close together. If you have a distance between them, there will be no such emotions at all, and you will even be more hostile. Because they do not have a strong subject to support them, you see the Germans. After Germany was unified and powerful, more and more German countries began to move closer to the German government. That's what it means." Emperor Hua analyzed.

"Yes, after all, it's still a matter of strength. The way is to be strong." Princess Katrina Kaif smiled sweetly, as if she was in great interest.

Princess Katrina Kaifu's relaxation also made Emperor Hua completely relieved. Although he was the emperor of the empire, the cute CEO could not completely ignore the eyes of others. Before he went to bed last night, he was a little worried that Princess Katrina Kaifu would be angry with him and Katherine.

At dinner time, Emperor Hua and his party arrived in Brussels, the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium.

Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the largest city in the Kingdom of Belgium. Because of its long history, it is known as the capital of Europe.

Brussels is located on the banks of the Senne River. The northern part is the low Flander Plain and the southern part is the slightly undulating Brabont Terrace, with an average altitude of 58 meters. The upper city is built on the slope and is an administrative region. The main attractions include the Royal Palace in the style of Louis XVI, the Royal Palace, the Royal Palace, the Royal Library, and the Museum of Ancient Art.

The downtown is a prosperous business center.

There are many medieval Gothic buildings standing around the "Major Square" in the city center, among which the city hall is more spectacular.

The Belgian government arranged the residence of Emperor Hua in Brussels in a tall medieval Gothic building next to the Grand Plaza. This is the most advanced inn in Brussels, specially used to entertain politicians from all over the world.

Emperor Hua was satisfied with the reception of the Kingdom of Belgium. In any case, Emperor Hua was no longer confident in finding countries to support China in Europe and having "backers" countries. Emperor Hua, who relaxed, had more fun in traveling around.
