Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

There wasn't much Sun Tong could do to help with things in the Northeast, so he could only do his best.

On the other hand, in Longhua, as the days went on, the preparatory work in all aspects had been gradually completed, and Sun Tong also began to send people to notify various countries and invite representatives to come and watch the ceremony.

When it came to June of the 32nd year, the founding ceremony of the Kingdom of Xihua was finally coming.

This was the first time in Sun Tong’s two lifetimes that he became a king.

So on the night before the founding ceremony, Sun Tong, who usually slept well, suffered from insomnia for the first time.

With the experience of the Five Kingdoms of Nantai, Sun Tong's men were very adept at holding the founding ceremony of the Kingdom of Xihua this time.

Starting from the morning, Sun Tong, who was dressed as a king, took Wen Xi and Bai Xiuzhu to receive guests sent by various countries to watch the ceremony. After receiving these people, Sun Tong met with representatives of major financial groups and their subordinates one after another.

Sun Tong worked until ten o'clock in the morning. Surrounded by the crowd, he arrived at Guanghua Square. At this time, the square was full of people. He heard from his subordinates that the number of people who came to watch the ceremony this time had exceeded 100,000. Sun Tong, who was standing on the city wall on the north side of the square, also felt a panic when he heard this number.

It was the first time for him to face so many people. Even though he knew that these people were his loyal subjects, he still felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, he had seen many big scenes in this life. Even though he was extremely nervous, he remained calm on the surface. This image of his made him even more mysterious in the eyes of guests from various countries. Many people also thought to themselves, "He is indeed the first generation of chaebol who established a large conglomerate. His psychological quality is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people."

Sun Tong had no idea what the others were thinking. After standing on the city wall and watching the military parade, it was his turn as the king of the Xihua Kingdom to speak.

The speech was written by Qu Hongxi and the cabinet. Sun Tong only needed to read it. Although he had no room for personal expression in this speech, he still felt a great sense of pride when he shouted, "The Kingdom of Xihua is officially established today!"

Especially when hundreds of thousands of people cheered together, the pride in Sun Tong's heart made him extremely excited.

This is his country, these are his subjects. With their support and advocacy, what qualifications does he have not to lead them to a good life?

As the ceremony officially ended, in the afternoon, Sun Tong took a brief rest and then started to work on the next task with Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu, which was to formally meet with envoys from various countries at a cocktail party.

After all, the Kingdom of Xihua is different from the Five Kingdoms of Nantai. Although those five countries are also countries, their small size is nothing to other countries.

But the situation is different for the Kingdom of Xihua. This new country has the capital to become a powerful country in any aspect, especially when Ying Kingdom, Gaul and Chou Kingdom all recognized this country at the first time, other countries naturally want to see what is different about this country.

You don’t know until you arrive, but when this group of people set foot in Madagascar, they are really shocked by the prosperity of Xihua.

Especially the city of Nan'an, no one expected that there would be such a beautiful city in the world?

Isn’t it said that the center of the world is in Europe?

What is going on with this Nan'an world in front of us?

The towering high-rise buildings, clean roads, spacious streets, happy pedestrians, everything in this city is refreshing the cognition of these "country bumpkins".

"Welcome everyone!"

As the king, Sun Tong did not need to entertain envoys from various countries except for a speech at the beginning of the dinner. The ministers under him were enough to handle this matter.

So what he did most at this moment was to sit at the highest point with his two wives and his younger brothers and sisters, watching everything in the banquet hall with a smile on their faces.

After sitting around all night, Sun Tong finally got through the banquet. Tired from the day's work, he finally had time to rest.

After becoming king, Sun Tong's daily life did not change much from the past.

The construction in Madagascar is now very mature, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the urban development here. As for the newly conquered territories, they are now busy expelling the indigenous people and building cities. These matters have the experience of the original Longhua territory, so he doesn't need to intervene.

So he, the king, is more like a mascot now.

What is giving him the most headache right now is probably the issue of Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu's identities.

Originally according to Sun Tong's idea, when the Xihua Kingdom was established, he planned to make Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu both queens. However, this matter was not only unanimously opposed by the group of people under him, but even Wenxi and Bai Xiuzhu themselves did not agree.

Finally, with the mutual humility of the two sisters, Wenxi became the queen of Xihua Kingdom, while Bai Xiuzhu only had the title of princess consort.

Sun Tong, who has always been fair in family affairs, felt guilty for a long time because of this incident. Fortunately, the establishment of the Xihua Kingdom is not the end of everything. Don't forget that he will establish a country in Nanyang in the future, so he still has a solution to Bai Xiuzhu's problem.

But when he thought of this, new problems that gave him a headache arose. Establishing these kingdoms was not a big deal, but in the future he planned to build his own empire.

An empire is quite different from a kingdom. When an empire is established, he will certainly include all the countries in his hands. At that time, he can only choose one person to be the queen of the empire. Who should he choose then?
