Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Zaifeng said: "Brother Huang is still worried that our athletes can't compare with foreigners?"

Guan Xuqing sighed: "That's true. Europeans and Americans are born with strong bodies. Compared with strength, we may not be their opponents. Therefore, we can only defeat them in skills. There are not many skills competitions, and the content is not Chinese. We are good at it, so by expanding the competition, we will have a chance to win the gold medal. If we can’t win the gold medal in our own country this time, where will the empire’s face go?”

Of course Zaifeng knew his emperor brother, for many years he was an emperor who would never admit defeat, and he never fought unprepared battles, everything was planned before action. "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will definitely organize this event well and never let the empire lose face."

Guan Xuqing nodded and said, "Fifth Brother Lao is responsible for everything."

Zaifeng said: "It's not too late, my brother will call the International Olympic Committee to discuss the time of the Olympic Games." After finishing speaking, he bowed to the emperor and said goodbye.

Zai Tao asked: "Brother, the Rothschild family really lived up to their trust. They made a template for the British pound in half a month, and it was more realistic than the real one. It is very important for the financial markets of Liverpool and Manchester. Some of them have been released, the British are being overwhelmed by the Indian War, they are not prepared at all, and they have not noticed it at all, and now we are waiting for your order to see when they can be printed in large quantities and released to the British market."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "It's a bit interesting what you said. No matter how well you do it, it can't be more real than the real thing. It will be launched in the near future, but I will not only launch it in the UK on a large scale, but also in the United States, Australia, Switzerland, Western countries such as New Zealand, Denmark, Spain and other large-scale investment have completely broken the credit system established by the British pound for hundreds of years, making the British pound a pile of waste paper!"

The victory of the Battle of Mumbai marked the complete removal of British forces from India, and the entire India was divided into five countries: the Mughal Empire, the Kingdom of Telugu, the Kingdom of Maratha, the Republic of Bangladesh and the Tamil Empire.Before the smoke of the Great War had passed, the Chinese Empire took the lead in holding the "Eight-Nation Conference" in Delhi. These six countries included China, India, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Denmark. Representatives from all parties gathered in Delhi to discuss the future of India. The fate of China is actually a discussion. In fact, the sharp knife is firmly in the hands of China, and it depends on how to slaughter the poor Indian Ah San.

Although the New Crusaders are incapable on the battlefield, they are quite capable of making noise at the conference table. The forces of all parties are arguing to maximize their interests in India. Although the Group of Six led by the United Kingdom failed, but They also want to retain as much of their own interests in India as possible through this meeting. In order to compete for this interest, the Group of Six countries does not care about the friendship of the allies. If they want to win more from the other party, if Gu Weijun, the chief representative of China and the vice minister of foreign affairs, were not present, I am afraid that the representatives of these countries would fight each other on the spot.

Gu Weijun was also confused by these people. The entire eight-day meeting was spent in the midst of quarrels. In the end, Gu Weijun got angry and took out the decision-making document that had been drafted in India. It's all dead, will China distribute some of the fat sheep it gets to the enemy? It's a joke.

At this time, the "Greater China Federation" led by the Chinese Empire controlled more than 80% of the Asian land. The only force that could not reach it for the time being was the Middle East, which was small in size but buried with huge wealth!

Middle East Storm 7 Chapter [-] Olympic Spirit (New Volume Set Sail)

The time came to June 1912, and the preparations for the Beijing Olympic Games were over. Berlin and Rome originally applied to host the 6th Olympic Games in 1912. Berlin was forced to withdraw its application due to lack of government support. After voting by the International Olympic Committee Voted, the venue was chosen in Rome.Due to repeated earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the Italian economy suffered huge losses. Therefore, Rome proposed that it was unable to build stadiums due to financial difficulties and announced that it would give up the right to host.Time is running out, and the Olympics cannot be postponed.In this case, the IOC had to turn to China for help.With the support of Guan Xuqing, China has very happily promised that the Olympic Games will be hosted by Beijing and will be held as scheduled.

After that, the Olympic Organizing Committee was established immediately under the leadership of the cabinet, and the Ministry of Finance allocated 5 million dragon coins for this purpose. This is an unimaginably huge amount of money in the history of the Olympic Games.Coubertin, then president of the International Olympic Committee, realized that he had made the right choice at the right time. At the same time, he also had a premonition that he would be immortalized as the most successful Beijing Olympic Games in history.

The Beijing Preparatory Committee spent more than a year building more than a dozen large stadiums in the suburbs outside Xizhimen, Beijing, the scale of which far exceeds that of the Chicago Olympics.The main stadium "Zunhuang" was designed and built by an Italian designer. The overall image looks like the crown of a Chinese emperor. The internal seats can accommodate 536 spectators. 666 meters, used for bicycle competitions, and the audience seats are built around the bicycle track and road.There is also a swimming pool of 100 by 15.24 meters in the center; fencing, gymnastics, wrestling and boxing competitions can be held in the field at the same time. It is a multi-functional sports field.Coubertin excitedly called this stadium "the first modern sports complex". It was larger than any stadium at that time, and it had complete and advanced facilities.Electric timers and terminal photography equipment were installed experimentally in the field, and the time is accurate to one tenth of a second.In the first four Olympic Games, all timing events were performed by manual chronographs, and because of the expensive equipment, only the top players were eligible to count the results, while the scores of the latter players were still timed by manual chronographs.This Olympic Games has solved the ranking problem by relying on the terminal photography equipment.However, this kind of advanced device still had great limitations at that time, because it was too expensive and difficult to popularize, so it was not used in the next few Olympic Games, and it was not used again until the 1 Los Angeles Olympic Games. on the field.

It is worth mentioning that the funds for the Olympic Games were not raised by the imperial government, but by Guan Xuqing's initiative to issue five sports lotteries to enterprises and people across the country. The face value of the sports lottery issued this time is 1 yuan. There is a word printed in the interlayer of each lottery ticket. If you can make up the six words "Long Live the Chinese Empire", you can get a bonus of up to 1 dragon coins. The lottery has been issued for prizes of different amounts such as "Olympic Spirit" and was immediately snapped up by businesses and people from all over the world. Through the issuance of five lottery tickets, a total of 6 million dragon coins have been raised, which is more than enough to hold a special sports event up.

The opening date of the Olympic Games is approaching, and invitation letters from the empire have been sent out to the whole world. The heads of state and dignitaries of various countries have arrived in Beijing one after another by plane. Except for some important heads of state, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for the rest of the meetings. At that time, the flags of the five rings of the Olympic Games were flying everywhere in Beijing, and there was a festive and festive atmosphere everywhere.

It is a little surprising that the Imperial Foreign Office sent invitation letters to the six countries of Britain and France who participated in the Indian War out of diplomatic etiquette. Unexpectedly, the six countries sent powerful politicians and athletes to Beijing to attend the Olympic Games , especially this time King Edward VII of the United Kingdom brought Prime Minister Churchill and senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to visit, and President Charles de Gaulle of the Fifth French Republic brought Prime Minister Georges Pompidou and others to the Olympic Games. In addition, the other heads of state They also came dressed up.

The defeat of the Indian War caused Britain and France, which have always been close, to complain to each other about this matter. The noisy chickens flew up and down. De Gaulle blamed Churchill for being indecisive at the critical moment, and did not send the main British Royal Army to India in time. Churchill made tit-for-tat accusations De Gaulle trained a group of French rabble who would only be deserters on the battlefield.

The parliaments of Britain and France also fought a war of words. For a while, western Europe was made into a mess by them, full of shameful atmosphere of defeat.Churchill and de Gaulle were not stupid. Although the Indian war ended in failure, they were glad that the Chinese did not use this to spread the flames of war to Europe, or even to Britain and France. If that was the case, they had no confidence in defeating the powerful Chinese army.The war is over, and they also hope to turn over this unpleasant page as soon as possible, and hope to re-establish diplomatic relations with China. After all, in this world, no one can ignore the existence of China.

Fortunately, the Beijing Olympics gave them a chance to re-establish diplomatic relations with China. Therefore, under Churchill's initiative, the leaders of several countries decided to attend the Olympics together after consultation, and first give China enough face.

Guan Xuqing couldn't play this kind of diplomatic game anymore, so he personally held a grand welcome ceremony in the Old Summer Palace to welcome the leaders of the six countries.Churchill and de Gaulle were also veterans in the diplomatic arena. After seeing the Chinese emperor, they pretended nothing happened. They kept shaking hands and greeting the Chinese emperor. Of course, Guan Xuqing didn’t mention the Indian war at all. Regarding the matter, the banquet was photographed in the Zhengda Guangming Hall, and Churchill and de Gaulle were invited to the banquet in person. Naturally, they said some innocuous diplomatic rhetoric.

"We always put Sino-British relations at the top of our diplomatic relations, and hope to take this opportunity to strengthen foreign trade ties with China and expand our economic exchanges." Churchill took the lead in expressing his intention.

"Yes, the Sino-French relationship is paramount to France, and the French government and people have been looking forward to the arrival of the Sino-French partnership." At the critical moment, Charles de Gaulle also did his part.

Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "China has always pursued an independent foreign policy of peace, and has always been committed to developing friendly relations with countries around the world. Britain and France, as two important powers in Europe, are naturally the focus of China's diplomatic relations. There is no doubt about this, just like the Olympic Games. As stated in the Charter, everyone should enjoy the possibility of playing sports without any form of discrimination and embody the Olympic spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair competition. I also firmly believe in this , the purpose of holding this event is to strengthen ties with countries around the world and enhance friendly and united relations."

After this meeting, Churchill and de Gaulle were flattered to receive such gracious hospitality from the Chinese emperor, and they finally let go of their long-hanging hearts. The sports event is over.

But Guan Xuqing didn't take Britain and France seriously in his heart. After meeting Soviet leader Stalin and US acting president Eisenhower, he made an exception to meet a Jew from the Middle East, the leader of the Zionist movement, Gurion.

Before the meeting, Guan Xuqing took out Gulian's resume that Zhao Bingjun had secretly sorted out, and read it carefully.Gurian was born into a wealthy Jewish family in Plansk, Poland.In an atmosphere of strong Zionism, he began to study the Bible and Hebrew from an early age. At the age of 14, he organized the children around him to speak Hebrew. At the age of 17, he joined the Zionist political party Zion Workers Party and became a Zionist. At the age of 20, he came to Palestine, a territory of the Ottoman Turkish Empire at that time—the "Land of Israel" in his mind, determined to realize the ideal of Zionism by settling down.He firmly believed that the Hebrew labor on the Hebrew land was the only way for the Jewish nation to recover its rights.The harsh environment and arduous labor were a huge challenge for the frail Gurion."I spent more time with fever and starvation than I did working. Work, malaria and hunger were all new and interesting to me. After all, that's why I came to the Land of Israel," he said.

Guan Xuqing admired people with a strong will the most, which was one of the reasons why he decided to meet Gurion.After a while, Zhao Bingjun ushered in a foreigner from outside the hall. He was half a head taller than Zhao Bingjun. He was less than 40 years old and had a strong figure. He was wearing a white Jewish robe and looked very energetic.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire!" Zhao Bingjun introduced, "Your Majesty, this is Mr. Gurion."

Gurion did not rush to salute the Chinese emperor, but stared at the legendary figure in this world with a pair of deep eyes, as if trying to see something in him.Guan Xuqing was also looking at the tall foreigner in front of him. In this foreigner, he seemed to see a shrewd idea, an unyielding belief, and a fighting spirit.

"My most respected Majesty the Great Emperor," Gulian said suddenly in fluent Chinese, "please allow me to convey the most sincere thanks to you from the Jews all over the world for your generous assistance, and please allow me to express my respect to you on behalf of the Zionist Congress. With your gratitude, allow me to express my personal love and admiration for you!"

Guan Xu smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Gurion, you don't have to be too polite. I believe that justice will always be on the side of the righteous. I respect your efforts for your dreams. I respect your efforts to build a world for thousands of years. Sweat, tears and blood shed for the integrity of the Jewish State. Mr. Gurion, let us sit down and talk."

Middle East Storm 7 Chapter [-] Outcasts of the World

As soon as he sat down, Gurion said: "Before the formal talk, please allow me to convey my greetings to Director Zhao Bingjun. We have been working together since 1900. He is so young and full of vigor. He is in your presence. He has given us great help under the instructions, this kind of help is selfless, the help between true friends. Of course, I also sincerely wish the Beijing Olympic Games a complete success."

Guan Xuqing nodded. As early as six years ago, he secretly appointed Zhao Bingjun to start contact with the Jews, and promised to do his best to help realize their dream of restoring the country. Of course, he would not be so stupid as to unconditionally help foreigners establish a He also put forward some conditions that seemed insignificant at the time, but had far-reaching implications later.At that time, the empire had just experienced the First World War, and its national strength was not as prosperous as it is now. However, in order to realize the ideal of restoring the country to the Jews, he would never let go of even the tiniest opportunity.From the initial pure commercial cooperation to the later all-round cooperation, China secretly provided arms to the Jewish League, and the Jews helped China monopolize the arms business in the Middle East and even Europe, until China won the Sino-Russian War and gained a The most glorious victory in the war, the Jews who were groping in the dark seemed to suddenly see the dawn and the hope of restoring the country. If Gurion was still hesitating between China and Russia, then after the war he firmly believed that he The original choice was correct.

Over the past ten years, the rise of China and the integrity of the Chinese people have made the Jews, who are known for their rigorous commitment to keeping their promises, more firmly judge that the Chinese emperor is worthy of their unconditional trust. "He who respects others will be respected by others", the Jewish motto made them take China and the Chinese emperor very seriously.

Guan Xuqing said: "The Jewish people value the contract and reputation. The contract is the reason for your existence. You think that if you don't abide by the contract, there will be disasters. Similarly, the Chinese nation is also a nation that promises money. We will never go back on what we promise our friends. .”

Gurion tightly grasped Guan Xuqing's hand, tremblingly said: "Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty the Great Emperor, the eternal friend of the Jews!"

To be honest, Guan Xuqing’s willingness to help the Jews restore the country has a lot of selfishness, and even most of them consider the interests of China in the future. A rising China must obtain a glorious position in the Middle East, the heart of the world. The area still belongs to other countries, but he firmly believes that in the near future, it will be covered by the five-clawed golden dragon flag, but at this time, he also has to be moved by the belief of the Jews that has not weakened for more than 2000 years. Said: "I still remember that in 1897, you held the first Zionist Congress in Switzerland, calling on the Jews to return to their homeland and revive Jewish national life in their ancestral homeland. However, Zion is part of the Ottoman Empire, I think The Ottoman Empire will not let you develop like this."

"Yes," Gurion said seriously: "We have paid a lot on this land. We have drained swamps, reclaimed wasteland, planted trees on bare hills, established industries, and built cities and villages. But we have suffered mercilessly. In the Christian world, we have always been accused of betraying Jesus, and we are hated and looked down upon everywhere, except you and your empire."

In Guan Xuqing's memory, the Jewish nation was a nation full of disasters. From their ancestor Abraham to Moses leading the people back to their homeland, they established countries countless times and were destroyed by foreign forces countless times. Assyria Humans, Babylonians, Persians, Arabs, Romans, Turks... It seems that the existence of this nation is to be conquered and destroyed by others.As for the holy land in their mind, Jerusalem, it has been destroyed many times, leaving indelible scars in the hearts of the Jews. In the eyes of others, the Jews are synonymous with despicable, dirty, hypocritical, cunning, and stingy.

Guan Xuqing looked at Gurion sympathetically and said: "Mr. Gurion, I sincerely tell you that our hands are still too short to reach as far as Jerusalem. Therefore, to establish your country in your holy land Jerusalem, Judging from the current situation, it will take a certain amount of time, I hope you can understand this. However, the Zionism has already occupied an extremely important position in the strategic layout of the empire."

Gurion said: "I like your honest attitude. No matter what, you and your empire will be the eternal friends of the Jews. This, no matter what happens in the future, I am sure it will never change."

"That's good." Guan Xuqing continued: "But within two years at most, I will help you find a piece of land and establish a country that is completely your own. I know that your holy land is in Jerusalem, but you have been waiting for so many years. , so I hope you will continue to wait patiently, waiting for an opportunity to appear, waiting for the day when the earth will be shocked!"

Gurion's eyes lit up: "Are you sure that it only takes two years?"

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "Yes, I am sure. Chinese people always keep their word. Since we have promised our friends, no matter what kind of difficulties we encounter, we will try our best to complete it!"

Gurion held the Emperor of China's hand tightly again, as if he never wanted to let it go, his eyes filled with tears.Since the announcement that Judas was the traitor who betrayed Jesus, the Jews faced discrimination wherever they went. The whole world wanted to wipe the Jewish nation from the earth forever.Only the Chinese government, when the Sino-Russian War had just ended and the country was in ruins, still treated the Jews as honestly as friends.Although I don't know if the hope of restoring the country will be as described by the Chinese emperor, Gurion trusts the great monarch in front of him and believes that he can bring everything to the Jewish nation. With this strong backing, how much will he and the Jewish nation The humiliation and neglect that he has carried over the years seem insignificant.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor." Gurion let the tears flow down. It's funny for a big man to cry, but who can laugh on this occasion, Gurion said: "As long as it can help us realize the dream of the Jewish generation, We are willing to give everything, even if we spend the last copper on our body."

Guan Xuqing shook his head and said: "We are friends, and there is no need to say much between friends. I know that the Jewish people believe that there are no friends for no reason in the world. There is always a benefit as the premise of everything. I can also tell you frankly that the empire Of course, benefits are also needed, but let’s talk about such benefits after the empire successfully helps you.”

Gurion nodded vigorously. It is not a shameful thing for friends to talk about their interests openly. There is always a price for everything, and doing so will make him feel at ease.

Just as he was talking, Chiang Kai-shek had an audience with him, and when he saw a foreigner in the hall snotting and crying at the emperor, it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions.

"This is Chiang Kai-shek, my capable subordinate, and he will cooperate with you in military affairs in the future." Guan Xuqing introduced Chiang Kai-shek beside him: "It is impossible to restore the country without our own armed forces. The empire will help you Send out a troop, you choose the people yourself, weapons and ammunition, and personnel training will be fully responsible for us, as for the training base, I think it will be placed in Fujian first, there are certain facilities here, it is quite satisfactory."

According to Guan Xuqing's idea, within two years, the Jews will be helped to form a division-level force with a size of about 2 to [-] people and a certain combat effectiveness. The positions at all levels will be chosen by the Jews themselves. A military advisory group will be sent; at the same time, the Jews can also select a large number of young soldiers to study in various Chinese military academies for free.

Hearing this, Gurion's excitement can't be described in words. He stared at Chiang Kai-shek like a rare animal, and said in his heart that today's trip was really worthwhile. Not only did he meet the great Chinese emperor, but also the famous General Chiang Kai-shek, with him to assist the Jews, looks sure to succeed.

At this time, Wang Shang came to report that the imperial dining room had prepared a banquet, and asked when the meal could be served. Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said, "Let's serve it now. I want to invite Mr. Gurion to taste the taste of Chinese food, Zhongzheng." , don't be idle, come and sit together." Jiang Jieshi hesitated at first, but seeing the emperor's urging again, he didn't dare to disobey, so he hurried over and sat down.

Watching the imperial dining room bring up one after another of delicacies, Guan Xuqing realized that he was too hungry to talk to Gulian, so he picked up the chopsticks and beckoned the guests to eat with him.

At the banquet, Gulian, who was in a good mood, toasted the Chinese emperor several glasses of wine in a row. Guan Xuqing stopped drinking after only three glasses because he had government affairs to deal with after the meal. Fortunately, he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would actually break his alcohol prohibition , under the hint of the emperor, he and the Jews had a drink cup by cup. After several large jugs of wine were drunk, Gulian, who was so drunk and unconscious, was dragged and dragged into the other building by several eunuchs. In terms of items, relying on Chiang Kai-shek's extraordinary performance, it can be considered that he has not fallen into the great national prestige.

After finishing the meal, Guan Xuqing ordered someone to give Chiang Kai-shek a cup of hot tea. After drinking the tea, Chiang Kai-shek felt that the alcohol had disappeared a lot, so he said, "Your Majesty, I have something unclear and would like to ask for advice..."
