【1394 Finale 16】
The French commander-in-chief Trevor Clivenot was extremely lonely at this time. The French army, who had brought the 50,000 tigers and wolves, did not expect that they would end up in such a situation today.
Khan of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, Abdul Hamid II, was even more frightened and helpless, and did not dare to look up at Emperor Hua.
"It's okay, I won't do anything to you. If the people here vote to support you in the future, you can continue to become the manager here. It's just that the country of China is protected, without the title of prince or any title, you are no longer a sultan." Emperor Hua's voice was very calm.
However, Abdul Hamid II was nervous and wiping his sweat, nodding as he said yes.
Emperor Hua and Princess Katrina Kaif held hands with a relaxed expression. At this stage, all the war goals have been completed, and only the aftermath work is left.
Istanbul is a center of Turkey's economy, culture, finance, news, trade, transportation, and one of the bustling international metropolis. It is located at the eastern end of the Balkans and the west coast of the Bosphorus Strait. It ridges the entrance to the Black Sea, and is a key transportation in Europe and Asia, and has an extremely important strategic position. It covers an area of 5,343 square kilometers and has a population of millions.
It was built on the cape between the Golden Horn Bay and the Marmara Sea in 658 BC, and was called Byzantium. It was rebuilt into the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire in 330 AD and was renamed Constantinople. It was also known as Neo Rome. It became the capital of the Ottoman Empire in 1453. The name of Istanbul had at least a hundred years of history before the conquest of the Ottoman Empire. For example, in 1403, the Spanish king sent an envoy to meet Timur the Great, and his envoys passed through Constantinople. In his memoirs, it mentioned that the Greeks also called this place Istanbul.
However, Western countries believed that the Ottoman Empire was the invader here, so they still insisted on calling this place Constantinople.
The Emperor of China renamed Istanbul to Princess Katrina Kafu that day and moved into Topkapa Palace in Princess Katrina Kafu.
Topkapa Palace has been the official residence and main residence of the Ottoman Sultan in the city from 1465 to 1853. Topkapa Palace is a place for national ceremonies and royal entertainment.
The translation of Topkapa Palace is "the gate of cannons". In the past, cannons were placed in the bunkers, so they were named after this.
Sultan Mohammed II, who conquered Constantinople, the Byzantine Empire, ordered the construction of the Topkapa Palace in 1459.
The palace consists of four courtyards and other small buildings, and is inhabited by about 4,000 people. The previous palace covered a vast coastal area.
Emperor Hua looked at this fairy tale palace-like palace and changed its name to Princess Katrina Kafu Palace.
Princess Katrina Kaif said shyly: "Your Majesty, if you want to change it, change your name. What are my things to do? What should I remember?"
"Of course, that's it. This is the glory you deserve." Emperor Hua smiled slightly, "There is another point that allows the whole world to see the compatibility of China. We fight for a reason and are just. Moreover, I am willing to accept anyone who recognizes China from the bottom of my heart."
Princess Katrina Kaifu nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty will do whatever you want. I'm just afraid that Princess Jie and other concubines will have ideas."
Hua Huang smiled and said, "What can you think about this? Princess Jie and Lee Tae-hee are not as stingy as you think."
"Ha, Your Majesty bullies me." Princess Katrina Kafu shook Emperor Hua's arm coquettishly, and the two of them were in a very good mood.
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraelli and French Prime Minister Rufeli were in a bad mood. The Chinese army took Istanbul and the war came to an end came back. Rufeli's cabinet fell that day.
In London, Whitehall, No. 1o Downing Street, in the British Prime Minister's House, Benjamin Disrelime stared blankly at the pictures on the Huacui Evening News, the photos of Emperor Hua and Princess Katrina Kaif holding a press conference in front of Princess Katrina Kaif's Palace, piercing into the old man's heart like an awl.
Recently, Benjamin Disraelli has been insomnia and it is a foregone conclusion that the election cannot be saved. Now that the Chinese army has won, it is very likely that his cabinet will collapse early like the French Rufeli cabinet.
He is no longer thinking about how to save the situation, but rather thinking about how to deal with the aftermath so as not to become a sinner in history because of this matter. For every politician, especially the politician at the highest level, he values the honor behind him more.
Benjamin Disraelli is no exception.
The news that the Chinese army occupied Africa and the Ottoman Turkish Empire quickly spread to the world, causing shock to all countries.
It is not because the British Empire and France declined, but because they were entangled by the economic crisis. It can also prove that China has truly risen, and the rulers of all countries are curious about a question. Why does China seem to be completely fine? Just because the 6th Army without artillery and long-distance attacks across continents, can they win with less?
In any case, the international status of the Chinese army has reached the first echelon at once. In the hearts of the world, at least it is the same as the British Empire and France.
The French consciously withdrew all the French troops from Asia, and French merchants returned one after another. Unless they had established friendships with Chinese merchants before and had never done any illegal activities, they dared to stay. However, they had to meet these two conditions, especially those who had the last condition, were very small and pitiful.
In the following days, the famous British newspaper The Times reported the major defeat of the British, French and Turkish coalition forces in Istanbul, Turkey. The whole of Britain shocked the rallies and marched everywhere, opposing Benjamin Disraelli's government, with sharp drop in wages and losses in overseas battlefields, and calls for opposition are growing.
Just as Benjamin Disraelli was in a state of turmoil, Mr. William Ult Gladston took the opportunity to speak everywhere, refuting Benjamin Disraelli's policy, causing Britain to suffer serious failure and becoming a laughing stock in the world.
The nobles of the House of Lords and members of the House of Commons were very dissatisfied with the continuous weakening of Britain's national strength over the years, especially disagreeing with Benjamin Disraelli's foreign policy of using troops several times in Asia.
In the votes of the upper and lower houses, a bill to step down against Benjamin Disraelly was passed.
Queen Victoria of England had to let Benjamin Disraelly fall early.
The battle between Emperor Hua made the British and French cabinets doomed, which made Emperor Hua funny.
Construction in Asia and Africa is in full swing. Now for the Emperor of China, there are two very important things. First, let all countries recognize the fruits of victory that China has achieved and avoid another war in the short term! Second, how to regain Indonesia and the Philippines and complete the cause of expelling all colonists in Asia.
Emperor Hua was very disgusted with the word colonization, which was no different from slave owners and slaves!
Everyone should have a free and stable life. As for why the mainland of China is a model of capitalism moving towards socialism, while the protected countries outside China are still in the feudal model, it is because as a whole, there must be a sequence. China cannot allow all protected countries to develop together in one step. That is unrealistic. If that is the case, what is the difference between the decline of the whole and the past?
Indonesia is in the hands of the Dutch and the Philippines is in the hands of the Spanish. These two countries once neglected China during the war with the British, French and Turkish coalition forces.
Emperor Hua has been living a very casual life these days. He doesn't want to think about those troublesome things for the time being. He lets him show his feelings. He has invited ambassadors from embassies in Katrina Kaf (formerly Istanbul) for several days, as well as civil servants, military officers, and family members. Every dance scene is grand and luxurious.
Emperor Hua had two purposes for this. On the one hand, it was to let all countries see that he was not a war madman. His main focus was on entertainment. On the other hand, it was to win over and appease the ambassadors of various countries. When China came, all countries were still welcomed here.
However, in the plan of Emperor Hua, the world's trade with China will be like this in the future. It can only go through Princess Katrina Kafu City, or directly do business with the Chinese mainland, and is not allowed to do business with the various protecting countries under China, because the diplomatic rights, trade rights and military rights of all protecting countries are controlled by China.
The trade of each protected country is also completed through Princess Katrina Kaif City and various port cities in China.
As a result, China's economic exhibitions became even more concentrated. In addition to the dozen coastal port cities in China, only the only place in Princess Katrina Kaif is left overseas.
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli has been demoted in advance. The new British Prime Minister is William Ult Gladstone whom the Emperor of China had met before. French President François also came to participate in the Royal Balloon.
François was the president of the Third Republic of France. He was a lawyer. When he worked in the Constituent Assembly in 1848, he was afraid of the rise of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte and opposed the establishment of a strong presidential system. He practiced lawyers from 1851 to 1868, was elected to the Legislative Council in 1868, and quickly became the leader of the liberal opposition. After the collapse of the Second Empire, he served as the Speaker of the National Assembly (1871-1873) and the Speaker of the House of Representatives (1876). In 1879, he succeeded Patrice McMahon as President of the Republic. During his tenure, he tried his best to reduce the power of the president and expand the authority of the legislative body.
French President François took a cautious attitude towards foreign policy, prevented national revengeism and opposed colonial expansion.
Emperor Hua did not expect that the British Prime Minister and the French President would come to meet Princess Catrina Kaif. This is a world of difference compared to the cold treatment he received in Britain and France more than a month ago. It turns out that not to mention meeting senior government officials, they are not even free to move and face the threat of assassination.
Francois is not tall, with square shoulders and wide breasts, one head of brown, two eyes are dark and shiny, bright and bright; his eye sockets are deep, his forehead is wide and high, and his high cheeks are surrounded by a fence-like beard.
The slightly weird hooked nose highlighted from the beard. His mouth seemed a little too small, and his confined lips were as thin as blades. He was strong and burly, but his head looked very elegant, completely like a missionary.
Emperor Hua felt that François was a typical 19th-century scholar, well-educated, knowledgeable, advocated Voltaire's philosophy, and was an unswerving republican. However, he knew very little about social problems, especially about workers' problems. He was rigid, obeyed discipline, and opposed and doubted all reforms.
French President Francois told the Emperor: "In public life, we should not be unique. People have the right to speak, and we have the right to do it. Human things will be done naturally according to the laws of nature."
Emperor Hua smiled and praised this guy's words, while Emperor Hua himself seemed to understand it, but he actually didn't know what this sentence seemed to be philosophical. What does it mean?
The bourgeois president was often exposed to the smell of peasants. He read a lot of books and could recite the poems of ancient French poets in large numbers. In this way, when encountering difficult questions or irrefutable evidence, he could recite a philosophical poem to gain time to think deeply, or to avoid the past with high sound, or even use this to cleverly change the topic.
François rarely makes gestures when speaking. His words are cautious, his tone is calm, and his demeanor is calm. He does not want to attract attention and tries to convince others with facts. He never talks loudly and gives people a friendly impression.
The new British prime minister William Ult Gladston, who was a little unhappy, looked at the two emperors and François talking enthusiastically, but couldn't get in touch for a long time. Originally, this kind of three-party meeting, he, who thought he was the world's number one industrial country, should occupy an absolute dominant position, but Emperor Hua did not seem to buy his account.
Of course, William Ult Gladston would never dare to be arrogant in front of the Emperor of China. He came here for two purposes. One is to hope that the Chinese army would return all the prisoners. The other is to hope that the Emperor of China can return the Suez Canal. If there is a third point, it is to hope that the unhappiness between China and Britain can be passed quickly, and can be as friendly as in the past, and enter a new chapter of exchanges between the two sides as soon as possible.
But William Ult Gladston himself knew that it was difficult to ascend to heaven, especially to let Emperor Hua return the Suez Canal.
What made William Ult Gladstone most angry with the previous minister Benjamin Disraeli was that Benjamin Disraeli got such an important place as the Suez Canal, why didn't he send troops to garrison?
The whole world understands the role of the Suez Canal, which is the only way to sea for Asia and Europe exchanges!
French President Francois should be a little easier than British Prime Minister William Ult Gladstone. British Prime Minister has three things, he only has two. This time he came here to hope that China will return the captured French army. In addition, he also hopes to carry out normal trade cooperation with China. China is no longer the original China. Regardless of whether China can firmly seize Africa and the entire Asia, China that occupy huge land has enough voice.
Chapter completed!
