Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Fifth brother, let's go to the bustling place." While talking, Zaiyi pulled Zaijin, and walked away without any explanation.

"Long live my younger brother to participate in my emperor!" The two of them flicked their horseshoe sleeves and slapped the emperor face to face.

Middle East Storm Chapter 721 Grand Opening Ceremony

Guan Xuqing was in a very good mood today. Seeing that Zaiyi and Zaijin had also come, he waved at them and ordered them to give each a seat.After the two sat down, Zaiyi smiled and said to Churchill: "Your Excellency, why are you here? It's really unexpected."

When Churchill heard this, the expression on his face changed suddenly, the smile he had been flattering before disappeared, and he seemed a little embarrassed and caught off guard.

Guan Xuqing, on the other hand, always looked calm and composed.

"Such a lively sports event, of course I want to come and see it. Hehe, I don't like going abroad, and I'm usually busy with work, so this is probably the only chance in my life to be lucky enough to participate in the Olympic Games live. I can't miss it. Churchill said with a quick smile.

Although Zaiyi and Churchill did not meet privately, they once led Chinese business people to visit the UK, and talked with Churchill on formal diplomatic occasions, so they were not formal when speaking, and said with a smile: "You come here By the way, take a look at the situation and ostentation of the Beijing Olympics, I guarantee you will never see it in your life."

Guan Xuqing said: "Zaiyi, don't say that, the scale of the Commonwealth Games is also very large, and the empire has to learn from Britain in many ways."

Churchill blushed and said unnaturally: "The fact is just the opposite. China's economy is on the rise. With money, you can do everything well. Sports are only a small part of the country's development. This Olympic Games proves that China's ability to host large-scale international events is very strong."

Guan Xuqing said: "The Olympic Games is just the beginning. After this grand event is over, we will carry out a large-scale plan, the national fitness plan!"

Churchill's eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, "What kind of plan is this?"

"National fitness is related to the health of the people and the happiness of life, and is an important symbol of comprehensive national strength and social civilization and progress. Through this plan, the idea of ​​physical fitness among urban and rural residents in the empire has been further strengthened, the number of people participating in physical exercise has greatly increased, and their physical fitness has been greatly improved. , the sports and fitness facilities will be more complete, and a national fitness service system covering the cities and villages of the empire will be formed. At that time, the empire will make full use of the radio, set up a national fitness column, hold scientific fitness lectures, make national fitness advertisements and posters, and publish national fitness books , improve citizens' scientific fitness literacy. With the help of 'National Fitness Day', major sports events and various festival sports activities, strengthen social publicity of national fitness, advocate healthy lifestyle, carry out lifelong physical education, popularize scientific fitness knowledge, and form a love in the whole society Physical fitness, and the social ethos of actively participating in physical fitness." Guan Xuqing talked about the idea of ​​the national fitness program incessantly, which Churchill appreciated very much and nodded his head in agreement.

Zaiyi followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, just now, my minister went to visit our country's athletes and found that many martial artists were also among the athletes' teams. What's going on?"

Guan Xuqing glanced at Churchill and said with a smile: "They are all athletes, what are the grades, as long as they have a skill, they can go on the field."

"Guests, please come in, please come in." From the loudspeaker in the VIP room came the beautiful voice of the hostess.

Zai Yi looked down at his watch, it was 10:[-], and the opening ceremony was about to start in [-] minutes.Immediately, he said goodbye to the emperor, bid farewell to Churchill, left the VIP room with Zai Jin, and walked up to the VIP rostrum.As soon as I got to the top, my eyes suddenly lit up!

I saw a Zunhuang Stadium in Nuoda, crowded with people, flags of various countries fluttering in the wind, cheers and shouts one after another, as if it had become a sea of ​​joy!

"Second brother, what's the matter, just follow me to watch the opening ceremony, this kind of scene is absolutely rare in a hundred years." Zaijin laughed.

Different from the lively scene in the auditorium, the stadium looked very solemn. The police stood on the edge of the stadium to maintain order, with a high platform in the middle, and only some etiquette personnel were busy shuttling.

The hour hand quickly pointed to nine o'clock, and with a ringing of the bell, the scene suddenly fell silent.A foreigner walked out not far from Zaiyi, and walked to the speech platform in the center of the arena with his speech.

"Second brother, this is Coubertin, the chairman of the International Olympic Committee." Zaijin was like a loyal commentator chattering and explaining to his brother.

Zaiyi stared at the center of the arena, nodded and said nothing.

Coubertin was in a particularly excited mood today, his slightly bald forehead was shining brightly under the illumination of countless spotlights, he looked around the auditorium for a week, and put the manuscript upright on the speech platform, at this time the audience was silent, Coubertin seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat clearly. On such an occasion, he felt nervous for the first time, so he took a deep breath, cleared his voice and began to speak: "Respected His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Chinese Empire, respected Mr. Wu Tingfang, Minister of Foreign Affairs, respected members of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, dear Chinese friends, dear athletes, the most lovely Chinese people..." Immediately afterwards, he said in the Chinese he was learning and selling: "You— - we - good!"

The audience immediately burst into warm applause. Coubertin opened the show in such a way and immediately won the favor of the Chinese people. Most of his nervousness disappeared at once, and he continued: "For a long time, China has always dreamed of opening its doors. Invite athletes from all over the world to Beijing to participate in the Olympic Games. Tonight, dreams have become reality. Congratulations to Beijing! You have chosen 'peace, development, and common prosperity' as the theme of this Olympic Games, and tonight is the embodiment of this theme. Tonight China Through the Olympic Games, the desire of 'peace, development, and common prosperity' has been shown to the world. This wish is beautiful and sincere. On behalf of all members of the Olympic family, I thank China!"

"We will not forget that 10 years ago, representatives from all over the world gathered in Paris, the place where the resumption of the Olympic Games was announced in 1894. In the past 10 years, the world has collapsed. Although the Olympic spirit has gone through all these 10 years What happened, however, she had no fear, no rebuke, and no victim of this catastrophe. The prospect that suddenly opened up proved that a new and important role was waiting for her, and this role was China! Facing a need based on the Considered to be utopian, but now ripe for use in a whole new world of principles, human beings must absorb all the forces handed down from antiquity to build the future. The Olympic spirit is one of these forces, because the fact is that only the Olympic The spirit is not sufficient to ensure social peace and to distribute more evenly the rights of human beings to produce and consume material necessities. The Olympic spirit will legally provide for the needs of human beings in their pursuit of strong muscles. Strong muscles are the source of joy, vitality, calm and purity. Olympic The spirit must be enjoyed by the least privileged citizens in every form given by the development of modern industry. This is the complete and democratic Olympic spirit. Today we are laying the foundation for her through this grand Olympic Games."

"This celebration ceremony was held in an atmosphere of great auspiciousness and joy. The ancient great country of the East and its respected His Majesty the Great Emperor, the senior representative of the Beijing area loved by God and mankind, the most generous and hospitable city Government figures, representatives of world-renowned entrepreneurs and a carefully selected vigorous sports team gathered here, establishing a fivefold reputation for this grand event: history, civic spirit, naturalness, youth and artistry. May love the brave The God of Luck treats the Chinese people kindly. Please remember that the Olympic Games is not only about competition results. The Olympic Games is also a gathering of peace. 34 national and regional Olympic committees gather here, crossing the boundaries of ethnicity, gender, religion and political system Please dedicate yourselves to the competition with the Olympic values ​​and spirits of excellence, friendship and respect. As we turn the Olympic dream into reality, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee for their tireless work. Our special thanks go to the thousands of dedicated Olympians without whom none of this would be possible. Beijing, you are the master of today and the gateway to tomorrow. Thank you! Now, it is my honor to invite His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Chinese Empire declares the opening of the Tenth Modern Olympic Games."

Under the attention of everyone, Guan Xuqing, accompanied by Wu Tingfang, walked through the long red carpet, came to the podium, and said in a deep and solemn voice: "I announce that the Tenth Modern Olympic Games will open!"

For a moment, there was a lot of voices and colorful flags fluttering. I don't know who was shouting: "Long live the Chinese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" Soon one voice became two, two became four, and four became eight... The roars of countless Chinese people seemed to shake the earth, "The delegation of the Tenth Olympic Games is invited to enter!" Coubertin announced into the microphone.

Immediately afterwards, warm applause and a majestic march sounded in the stadium. Amid the applause and musical instruments, the athletes' entrance ceremony began.

The first to enter the field, as usual, is the Greek team.As the birthplace of the Olympics, Greeks are always in for a treat at this sporting event.There were probably dozens of people they sent, holding a Greek flag, passing by the rostrum, and the audience responded with thunderous applause.

Next, the British delegation.As a veteran capitalist power and also as a sports power, the British will achieve good results in every Olympic Games, and their delegation is also very large.When the Mi Ziqi flag appeared on the stadium, the people gave them warm applause, basically from Western audiences and reporters. For this flag, Chinese people can't lift it up at any time. Spirit.

Middle East Storm Chapter 722 Mafia Delegation

Next to Britain is France.It is also a big country in Europe, the appearance of the French is so sparse and sloppy, the British athletes are neatly dressed, neatly tidied up and down, and all of them are full of energy, the boys are in suits and leather shoes, and the women are wearing short skirts. The team lined up very neatly, but compared with the French, they were like a heaven and an earth.At this time, it is difficult for the Gallic rooster to lift its proud chicken head in front of the Chinese.Compared with the clothing of the British, the clothing of the French is not bad at all, but the mental outlook is completely incomparable.When this group of people appeared, they were loose and loose, and they didn’t form a team at all. Moreover, these French people seemed to like to put on a little romantic style by nature, even if they participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.Some of the men put a nasty rose on their suits, some wore a very fancy hat, some put their arms around the female players and kissed them while walking, and some French , while walking, winking at the audience and throwing the flower in the hand towards the girl, that's not a delegation, it's just a group of dudes.

After the French, came the Mexicans.Mexico is not a big country, but it is not a small country either, at least in America.The country still has a lot to offer.Mexicans wore traditional national costumes, and sang and danced, winning the favor of the public as soon as they appeared on the stage.

Next, is Italy.Compared with the French, the delegation of this country is even worse, and they are also extremely flamboyant. The most eye-catching ones are those Italian women, with blond hair, closed eyes, high nose bridge, snow-white skin, and uneven figure. That smile is simply captivating, so when the Italian appeared, the audience was full of whistles.

This time I was so excited, I kept tugging on Zaiyi's sleeves, and said with a smile: "Second brother, see if you don't see it, just go for this today, our buddies are not in vain, it's still a foreign girl who is more energetic, look at that chest , look at that ass, hey, I have something to do after watching the opening ceremony."

Zaiyi rolled his eyes at his brother, but his eyes fell on the male athletes behind the Italian female athletes. A small detail immediately attracted his attention.I saw those male athletes all wearing a crystal bracelet on their left hands, shining brightly under the spotlight. They didn't seem to shy away from it, but raised their left hands high, saluting the audience, and at the same time Also made a strange gesture.

Italian Mafia!

Zaiyi's mind immediately reflected this idea. He has some knowledge about the most popular mafia in Italy today. The word mafia originated from the Sicilian uprising on Easter in the thirteenth century.When a Palermo girl was raped by French soldiers on her wedding day, Sicily began a frenzied revenge. They attacked every Frenchman they saw and said that "the destruction of France is the desire of Italy", and the Mafia (Mafia) is An acronym for the slogan.The uprising became known in Europe as the "Sicilian Vespers Incident".The mafia originated in Sicily, Italy and Corsica, France, and refers to criminal organizations of local secret associations.Today, these criminal organizations are not only active in Italy, but also spread all over the world with Italian immigrants, especially the East Coast of the United States.Their influence in the United States rose during World War II, and it reached its strongest period by this time.Not to mention the mafia's lair, the Palermo region of Italy, where there are assassinations, illegal sales, and obstruction of justice every day. Affected by the defeat of World War II, countless Italians chose to join the Communist Party after losing confidence in the government. The mafia, the power of the mafia extends from the Palermo area and grows infinitely. In the eyes of the current Italian people, the mafia is a more trustworthy and powerful protection organization than the government. A protection fee of 50 lire is called.

Even more legendary is their godfather, Don Vito Corleone.In the hearts of the Italians, he is synonymous with greatness, immortality, and daring, and his status in the world exceeds that of any mafia organization in any region or country in the world.As the son of a farmer in Palermo, Corleone is undoubtedly the typical phoenix from the chicken coop.Although Dou Da's characters are not decipherable, his slender figure, elegant and well-crafted clothes, modest and steady demeanor make him extraordinary, not angry but majestic. Coupled with his long white beard, he looks amazing He looked like a prophet.Back then, Corleone organized a group of male relatives to set up a fraternity, known as the "glorious society". Soon, the continuous marriages made his blood nepotism organization huge.

Corleone's first pot of gold started by subletting the land that immigrants moved to the city. Through this method, he could easily obtain a large amount of intermediary fees. Soon, he started to operate the "protection fee" business again.What really helped him establish his prestige was his famous loyalty rather than cruelty.He gave generously, gave alms widely, and stabbed his brothers in both sides.People in Sicily regard him as a god, and wherever he goes, thousands of people empty the streets, respectful, and people respectfully call him "Don".

During Corleone's 20 years of being invincible, he actually forged a beam with the then fascist leader Mussolini.In the crucial elections that decided the fascists came to power, Sicily, controlled by Corleone, refused to send any pro-fascist members to the Italian parliament.But their previous war was triggered by a Palermo mayor named Qiqiu.Qiqiu, who has a low position, is the only mayor who enjoys court etiquette, and is also the only person who has won the highest order in Italy - the Knight's Cross. King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy is his son's godfather, and the mafia leader Coco Lyon's relationship is extraordinary.

However, Prime Minister Mussolini, who had just come to power, knew nothing about this and was planning to find trouble in that Sicilian tour.Seeing how arrogant this fat-headed clown was, Qiqiu Wuming suddenly became angry. He said to Mussolini in a provocative tone: "Why do we need so many policemen? With me here, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Then, Qiqiu turned around and said to the citizens beside him: "Mr. Mussolini is my friend, a great man of our time, none of you are allowed to touch him!"

Such arrogant words made Mussolini tremble with anger. He knew that Qiqiu had such courage because he was backed by the Mafia, so he was determined to completely eliminate the Mafia.In this way, General Mori became the Governor of Sicily.Sure enough, this natural eagle dog started a comprehensive suppression without mercy.Anyone who was accused of being a Mafia was subjected to medieval torture if he did not confess.Thousands were executed or exiled, most of them innocent villagers.The backbone of the Mafia fled Sicily, and Corleone, who was arrested, refused a successful escape and voluntarily remained in prison.He wanted to create an illusion for Mussolini that the Mafia had been completely wiped out, and he asked himself to pay for the huge losses caused by his misjudgment.This earned him even more respect than ever before.Even in prison, the prisoners surrounded him closely, and he still controlled the members of the organization and their families.

For this reason, the cunning Morrie had to prepare a completely isolated cell for him, and forced his brothers to write him a letter of dismissal.Perhaps it will not be long before this happens, and Corleone will die alone in captivity, but history has undergone a wonderful change here. A large-scale suppression was carried out against the Italian fascists, who were at the end of their battles. As a result, Mussolini and * committed suicide in anxiety and anger. The fascist government declared its downfall, and Corleone regained his freedom, and began his peerless journey from then on!

The mafia has now almost become synonymous with Italy, and its power has penetrated into every corner of the country. It seems that these mafia members with dual identities are not uncommon to represent Italy in the Olympic Games, but what Zaiyi is concerned about is that the mafia Does the party have any other purpose in coming to China, and will the legendary mafia godfather also come to Beijing?

On the sports field, when the French appeared, they threw roses at the people, and when the Italians appeared.The situation is completely reversed.Many people, especially the men, laughed and whistled and then threw flowers on the Italian female players. Some Italian women took the flowers and blew kisses to the audience, which caused another burst of whistles.

"This isn't the Olympics, it's just a tavern." Seeing such a scene, Guan Xuqing couldn't laugh or cry.In his impression, the Olympic Games should be very solemn, it should be said to be somewhat sacred, but the scene in front of him is completely different from the Olympic Games in his impression, no matter from which aspect, this may be the reason for the different times Bar.At this time, people don't seem to regard the Olympic Games as a major event with worldwide significance. They just regard this sports event as an opportunity to enjoy sports joy. It is precisely because of this idea that they also It is because the Olympic Games have lost some political and economic factors, so the atmosphere on the stadium is very good.

But Guan Xuqing, as the king of a country, had to consider its political influence first of all, just like Zai Yi, he noticed that special Italian delegation from the very beginning.At this time, Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and others had been invited to the viewing platform by the hostesses, and only Guan Xuqing and Zhao Bingjun were left in the VIP room. Is it conclusive that these people really are the Italian Mafia?"

Zhao Bingjun bowed his waist and said: "My Majesty, it is true. The Italians sent these mafias to participate in the Olympic Games. I don't know what their intentions are. However, since they entered China, the imperial agents have secretly monitored them Thinking about it, they must not dare to make any trouble, after all, this is China, not Italy where they can do whatever they want."

Middle East Storm Chapter 723 Dark War

Guan Xuqing nodded and said: "This is not surprising. The Mafia is now in full swing in Italy, and they have even become the spokespersons of certain local governments. It is normal to have their members in the delegation. Besides, they are sent in the name of the government. Those who came to participate in the competition conformed to the normal procedures, and we can’t just arrest them indiscriminately just because they are mafia? Just keep a close watch on it.”

"twitter."

"The admission ceremony is not bad, but I don't know who made the order of admission! The delegations from various countries are not allowed to enter the arena in alphabetical order. I really don't know what principle they let these delegations enter the arena in order .” On the viewing stand, Churchill complained to de Gaulle and Eisenhower in a low voice.

De Gaulle sneered: "What does the order of appearance matter? The key is that I want to see how our athletes embarrass the Chinese on the field in the next competition."

De Gaulle’s words evoked a malicious smile from Churchill. For them, the shame of the Indian War has not faded away. They are very eager to see how their country’s athletes easily beat the Chinese on the field. Maybe this is the only way Only in this way can they calm their war-torn hearts a little bit.

But Eisenhower didn't have such an idea. He didn't even have much interest in which country's delegation came out first and which came out later. For the United States, which advocates pragmatism, this is no different at all, as long as you can feast your eyes up.

Following Italy came Austria. As a medium-sized country in Europe, Austria has always been stable and stable without any characteristics.
