The average height of China's Great Wall in Asia was 7.8 meters, the average width at the bottom was 6.5 meters, and the top was 5.8 meters. The North American region finally came up with a complete set of design drawings, and the North American Great Wall was also designed according to these parameters.
At the joint meeting of the military commission and the North American region, this plan was finally passed. Qi Rui felt a big stone fall into his stomach, and the other cadres in charge had similar expressions. It was obviously unrealistic to expect this thing to play a role in times of war, but everyone thought it would play a huge role in the face of illegal immigrants. More importantly, after this matter was finalized, they could explain it to the Military Governor Of Vaize.
After the discussion was over, it was a buffet, and everyone sat and chatted casually. The secretary of the North American Publicity Department squeezed to Qi Rui's side. "Political Commissar Qi Rui, let's send people to various places for publicity. Your lectures on the body and emotions were very well received, and the comrades felt that they had benefited a lot. The comrades at the grassroots level were even more so. Everyone worked hard every day, and they themselves were already very dissatisfied. Of course, they were very unhappy when they met people who spoke very harshly. Your lectures improved everyone's understanding of themselves and others. "
Qi Rui smiled bitterly. "There aren't that many people in the army now. These contents are also part of the training plan issued by the Central Committee. You should have received the documents yourself. "
"We don't have such a high level here. The army is the army, and we can do things reliably. "The head of the Publicity Department told the truth.
Qi Rui didn't speak for a while. Of course, the army had to be reliable, and the result of unreliability was that people would die. The training content issued by the Central Committee had long been studied in the army, but the central government invested more, and the army had the manpower and material resources to carry out more in-depth research, and the results were more. The Liberation Army was not a professional army unique to the Empire. The Liberation Army was composed of ordinary Chinese people, who either chose the army as their lifelong career, or served in the military as a citizen. Therefore, Qi Rui was a little unhappy with the laziness of ideological research in the local area. Why did all this ideological work have to be done by the army? Wasn't the real ordinary life outside the army?
After dinner, the British Consulate in Tokyo insisted on meeting Qi Rui on the grounds of the border. Qi Rui knew that the British had recently been trying to meet with the senior leaders of the Min dynasty in North America. In the internal briefing meeting, the comrades in contact with the British believed that the British hoped to persuade the North American Military Region to let the Min dynasty attack the UA, which was attacking in Central and South America.
Qi Rui thought that the British were really interesting. When the Americans were driven out of North America and holed up in a few islands in the Caribbean Sea, the British 'protected' them in every possible way. In order to stay away from the dangerous Min dynasty, when the United States was trying its best to develop in Central and South America, the United Kingdom was trying its best to take advantage of this opportunity to make the 'New Canadians' who were loyal to the United States leave New England and go south to pledge their loyalty to the United States. Now that the United Kingdom had achieved their goal, they jumped out and wanted China to be the vanguard. This did not seem like the foresight of a sh * t-stirrer.
After inviting the British Consul in, just as the two of them were seated, Qi Rui said, "The content of the discussion this time does not involve the United States. Please don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the border and the Great Wall, sir."
The British Consul was not surprised. After he sat down firmly, he said calmly, "Don't you have any interest in establishing new achievements, sir?"
Qi Rui frowned slightly. This guy's instigation was so explicit that Qi Rui felt a little offended. The army attached great importance to psychological research. Qi Rui could explain such a phenomenon in theory. In the neuronal connection formed after birth, the obedience discipline had reached a very high level. Any behavior that touched this thinking circuit would cause Qi Rui to be unhappy. However, even if he could analyze the problem so rationally, Qi Rui still could not get rid of the unhappiness in his heart. Therefore, Qi Rui breathed quietly a few times. After he got rid of this unhappiness, he continued to speak, "Mr. Consul, I'm a very disciplined person. From your point of view, achieving the goal is for the good of the United Kingdom. But from my point of view, I don't like what you said very much. If you continue to say it, I will have a very bad impression of you. "
The British Consul did not have the same training as the Liberation Army, but the very experienced diplomatic system of the United Kingdom naturally had their own training content. As soon as he heard Qi Rui say this so seriously, the British Consul understood that he could not use the original method. "Your Highness. Please forgive me for the unhappiness I caused you. My original intention was that the British Empire hoped to be able to cooperate with your country on the issue of curbing the expansion of the United States. "
The other party finally told the truth, and Qi Rui also calmly replied, "The Americans will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke us with force in the next ten years. What is the benefit of them provoking us? Are they going to give us the land that they have worked so hard to seize? "
The British Consul did not say anything for the time being. Qi Rui's truth made the basis of the interests of both sides extremely clear. There was no basis to talk about the UA issue with Qi Rui. As Qi Rui said, the United States would not be stupid enough to initiate a military provocation of the Min dynasty to trigger a second military invasion by the Min dynasty. Although there must be people in the Min dynasty who wanted to obtain personal military achievements through the military invasion of the United States, and then get more benefits. Qi Rui, a lieutenant general who performed well in the Sino-American war, did not show signs of being bewitched by this kind of interest. Now Qi Rui was not only not a breakthrough point, but had even become a considerable obstacle.
If it was another country, the British Consul's idea was naturally to find a way to find Qi Rui's enemies. Since they were enemies, they would naturally go against Qi Rui out of personal interests. But the British Consul did not consider such means at this time. Qi Rui's identity and achievements made the British dare not use such means. Wanting to shake a military hero, a lieutenant general who promoted the development of the military territory, was difficult enough to give one a headache. It was basically impossible to alienate the relationship between father and son and to deceive a smart person like Vézé.
"Your Royal Highness, will China build military facilities on the border outside the Great Wall?" The British Consul opened his mouth again, and it was completely related to official business.
Qi Rui replied, "Our country hopes for peace. It is written very clearly in the document to you that the Great Wall is not built on the border, but a certain distance from the border. In the area between the Great Wall and the border, there are border police, not troops. "
The reason was high-sounding, but in fact, the reason for doing so was that setting the Great Wall on the border was not helpful to the military at all. The best building was to set up the Great Wall in the most suitable position, so that the enemy had to calculate the cost of war. In North America, it was Britain and Mexico who were worried about being attacked, not the Min dynasty.
"Oh! We are very appreciative of your country's concept of peace. "The British Consul also began to flatter insincerely.
The two sides did not talk for long. As soon as the Consul returned to the consulate, he unhappily poured himself a glass of wine. In London, drinking afternoon tea was a very enjoyable thing. Under the dark sky created by industrial pollution and rain clouds, it was very happy to hide in the house and drink hot tea. In the sunny North America, drinking wine was more enjoyable than drinking tea.
After taking a sip of wine, the Consul let out a sigh of relief. Brazil in South America had always been the British sphere of influence. Now that the Americans seized Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, they then invaded the border of Brazil. The Americans' demand was very simple. They wanted Brazil to recognize the expansion of the United States in South America and completely withdraw from the war. Britain still had the advantage of the navy, but Britain had no confidence in its army. The war with the Boers made the British feel the power of guerrilla warfare. To deal with 300,000 Boers, Britain sent out 300,000 troops. To deal with the Americans with a population of 20 million, Britain did not have 20 million troops. But in any case, Britain could not accept the expansion of the United States in South America. They had to find a way to contain it.
The Consul quickly informed London of the content of the diplomatic meeting. After receiving the telegram, the Foreign Office in London was full of angry rebukes such as "China really wants to support peace?"
After venting their anger, the British Foreign Office came up with a possibility. "The Americans privately negotiated with the China?"
China's behavior could only be explained by the peace talks. At least the British could not imagine that China would allow a hostile American to develop freely. Unless China really wanted the United States to be hot-headed and provoke China with force in a short period of time. As far as the British knew, the Americans were stupid, but not stupid. They would never provoke China.
The British Foreign Office immediately sent a telegram to the British Ambassador in the United States. After receiving the telegram, the British Ambassador to the United States immediately went to see the United States Secretary of State. After the two met, the British Ambassador said in a somewhat mysterious tone, "Sir, we have heard a rumor that China is preparing to send troops south."
The American Foreign Minister's face suddenly became extremely ugly. In the British Ambassador's view, this was not an act. It was real fear. It was the fear brought to the American Foreign Minister by the war not long ago. The expression would only appear when the wound was torn open again. Either this was true, or the American Foreign Minister was an unparalleled actor.
"Sir, where did you hear this news?" The American Foreign Minister's voice trembled.
"New York. Many Chinese in New York said so. "The British Ambassador to the United States told a big lie without batting an eyelid. At this time, there were no Americans in New York City. The Chinese in this city did not talk about any war at all. The most people talked about was how to make their lives better. Not only New York, but the entire Chinese in North America began to change to the state after the end of the war. The British Ambassador was clearly bullying the Americans for not having the opportunity to learn about New York.
"Thank you for your reminder." The American Foreign Minister forcibly suppressed his fear and expressed his gratitude to the British Ambassador.
"I have always had a true friendship with your country." The British Ambassador to the United States told a lie that he himself believed. Now that the Chinese were eyeing them covetously, it was the right choice for the United States to withdraw all its forces to resist China. If the United States was willing to give up the land they had seized and return to defend Cuba, which was close to the North American continent, Britain was even willing to provide more assistance. The British Ambassador to the United States believed that this was the best thing.
After the British Ambassador left, the American Foreign Minister immediately went to see President Roosevelt. Roosevelt's expression did not change at all after listening to this. "Minister, you forgot one thing."
"What is it?" The minister was very surprised.
President Roosevelt's voice was very flat, as if he was discussing whether the apple pie tasted satisfactory for dinner. "God bless the United States! If God wants us to be destroyed, we will be destroyed. But God didn't. He grabbed the sharp blade that pierced our heart and stopped the Chinese from moving forward. Isn't what happened in the past few years enough to make you believe this? "
The minister's spirit was lifted. In the past few years of pain and fear, the Americans chose religion as their spiritual support. 'God bless the United States' was the core world view and values that supported these Americans. This sentence was now the law of heaven that the entire United States believed in, protecting their hearts from fear and despair. Of course, the American people did not realize that in the eyes of the three Semitic cults, God was the object that people had to obey and worship. Humble human beings asking for God's unconditional blessing was in the category of 'blasphemy' in the teachings of the Old Testament Judaism or the New Testament.
After being relieved by the words' God bless the United States', the American Foreign Minister finally regained his composure. He asked the president, "Mr. President, do you believe that China will not go south?"
"What good will it do for China to go south at this time? Although they have endless greed for land, the Chinese have no intention of conquering the world. If their original intention is to conquer the world, they will immediately go south after driving us out of North America. "President Roosevelt's voice was still calm.
The American Foreign Minister thought about it carefully and it was indeed reasonable. China had reduced its army from the peak of ten million to the current two million. It was obviously unrealistic for them to not head south when they only had ten million soldiers. Instead, they headed south when they only had two million soldiers. Therefore, the American Foreign Minister frowned. "Sir, will the British interfere with us militarily?"
President Roosevelt leaned against the back of the hard wooden chair and lit a handmade Havana cigar for himself. A moment later, the wonderful smell of Havana cigar filled the air. After two puffs, the president continued, "That's not a problem. We should also consider withdrawing. Three million square kilometers is not easy for us to defend with our current strength. You can tell the British that we want to focus on dealing with the China, so we want peace. "
"Use the British's intimidation to make them recognize the land we have already obtained?" The American Foreign Minister felt that he had understood the president's intention.
It was obvious that the president was very satisfied with his subordinates. He nodded and replied, "Whether we recognize China's land or whether the Chinese recognize our land. These are not important. The important thing is for the British to recognize our land in South America. As long as the British recognize it, we can develop at ease. The expansion is over, and now is the era of full construction. "
Both sides had their own ideas, so the British and the United States discussed the "China invasion" for more than a month. The British asked the United States to withdraw from the land they invaded in Brazil, and the United States asked the British to first recognize the current territory of the United States, and then help the United States sign a peace treaty with Brazil. When the British were completely sure that the Americans were playing tricks, it was already February 1895.
In February 1895, Wang Shizhen arrived in Hungary for a visit. The news that was spread to the outside world was that this hidden major general was a traveler. The people in Hungary also used alphabetical Hungarian, but their surnames were in front of their names, which was very unusual in Europe. At least in the history books of the Min dynasty, it was recorded that the Xiongnu, who were driven to the west by Emperor Wu of Han, had established the Xiongnu Empire in the west with Hungary as the center. The emperor of this empire, Attila, was called the "Whip of God" by the Europeans, and was one of the most important external reasons for the destruction of the Roman Empire.
If it was someone else, they would probably have an inexplicable feeling for Hungary. When Wang Shizhen discussed the trip with Vézé, he frankly said that he would not think that Hungary had anything to do with China. Hungary was just a European country.
For the land of Hungary, Wang Mingshan's evaluation was "very beautiful". Hungary was mainly a plain and fertile land. Looking at the endless farmland on the flat land, Wang Shizhen thought of his hometown of Hebei, where the plain area was like this. He thought of the Henan he had been to, where the crops also stretched to the horizon. As for North America, Wang Shizhen passed through the Great Plains of the former United States, where the scenery was amazing. He also drove through the land that China bought from the British, where the prairie stretched as far as the eye could see, and there were many lakes in the middle. The beautiful scenery of swans flying over the lakes was unforgettable.
In Budapest, the capital of Hungary, Wang Shizhen attended a reception to welcome him. Before the reception, Wang Shizhen was informed by the embassy of the Min dynasty that the protagonist of the reception was the King of Hungary.
At this time, the King of Hungary was the Empress of the Austrian Emperor, Princess Cecilia. Not long after Wang Shizhen arrived at the reception, the sound of a military band suddenly sounded outside. Not long after, a dignified-looking and elegantly dressed old lady walked in from the gate, surrounded by court officials and nobles.
From the expressions of the people around, Wang Shizhen could see that the old lady was very respected by everyone. But perhaps Wang Shizhen had personally led the killing of too many people of Caucasian descent in North America, he himself did not respond to this group of nobles at all. Out of politeness, Wang Shizhen walked over to meet the King of Hungary when it was his turn.
Wang Shizhen was not tall, and King Cecilia was wearing high heels. Seeing that Wang Shizhen did not look up, but looked at him at the same level, King Cecilia smiled and said, "General, have you always been so proud?"
Wang Shizhen still looked at him at the same level, and at the same time said with a smile, "If the basis of your question is based on my height, then my answer is yes, I have always been so proud."
Cecilia did not expect Wang Shizhen to answer like this. She was a little surprised, and then laughed heartily. After a few moments, the group of Hungarian nobles also laughed.
