Something happened in Central Asia that made Liu Yu pat his chest and cry out in regret. He ran to Yuyang and said to Hua Zheng, "What's wrong with your head? How can you change such a thing?" If they could achieve their goal, the Caspian Sea ferry would become a viewing platform.
It had only been a few days since the establishment of the New Qin State. There were many things waiting to be done. The Xin Han State's super-large ferry on the Caspian Sea hadn't been launched yet, and the docks connecting the two sides hadn't been built yet. Something happened in Central Asia that made the world sigh and envy. Turkmenistan held a beauty pageant for girls under the age of fifteen. The requirements were not high. First, they had to be virgins. Second, they had to be beautiful. Third, they had to be knowledgeable. When people came to their senses, they realized that they had spent so much effort to choose a beautiful girl to send to New Qin State and fill Hua Zheng's harem.
When the incident spread, the first thing that came out was the laughter of New Qin State's King, Hua Zheng, followed by the screams of Tang Sisi.
Prime Minister Huang was born in Japan, and he had been taught by Sora Aoi and other teachers since he was a child. He ran to the palace of New Qin State and told Hua Zheng that it was a good thing. This meant that the other party was trying to get on our good side. One more friend meant one more path.
Turkmenistan was located to the north of New Qin State. It was bordered by Afghanistan to the southeast, Uzbekistan to the northeast, and New Qin State to the northwest. It was a landlocked country with the Caspian Sea. With an area of 491,200 square kilometers, it ranked 52nd in the world. It was slightly smaller than Spain but larger than California. Turkmenistan was rich in oil and natural gas. Its natural gas reserves were ranked fifth in the world, and it had a population of seven million. There were more than 30,000 soldiers in the army. Turkmenistan was a country that was rich in beautiful women. Every important festival and important event, beautiful women would wear bright national costumes and sing and dance happily, setting off the joyous atmosphere. Men and women were equal in Turkmenistan. There were female representatives in the council of elders, female ministers in the cabinet, and female officers in the army. Due to the small population, the country adopted a policy of protection for women. If a foreign citizen married a Turkmen woman, he would have to pay a $45,000 honeymoon tax. Providing the most beautiful women in the country to the new Qin State showed Turkmenistan's attitude and flattery toward the new Qin State.
Hua Zheng laughed heartily. With Tang Sisi's approval, he told Premier Huang Yidi that they had to be friends, but they also had to have beautiful women.
He made a very unreasonable request to the President of Turkmenistan, Gulyevich: "Excuse me, I want to go back to China to visit my family and friends."
There was no problem. He could walk as he pleased.
He took the risk of crossing the border and came to Turkmenistan. In Turkmenistan's Balkanabad, there was a beauty pageant. He took the risk of crossing the border and asked the locals, "So many beautiful women, the president of Turkmenistan is really lucky." The locals were very angry, they said, "These beautiful women are a tribute to the king of the new Qin state." He took the risk of crossing the border and pretending to be shocked, he said, "You are not a vassal state of the new Qin state, there is no need to flatter the new Qin state." The locals said, "It would be great if we could become a vassal state of the new Qin state!"
To ask why? The locals told a lot of stories about Hua Zheng's kindness and wisdom. When Mao heard it, he knew that it was a modified version of Afandi's story. The locals told Mao that Hua Zheng was Chen Weizheng's son. Befriending the new Qin state was the same as befriending Shin Myung Province. Befriending Shin Myung Province was the same as befriending Xin Han, Xin Song, Xin Tang, and the Republic of China.
When Mao asked why not China, the locals said, "China and the five new countries are not on the same path. It is more difficult to please China than to please the five new countries." Mao laughed and asked why? The locals said, "China is too shrewd. Countries with ancient civilizations are afraid of everyone, just like Egypt, India, and Iraq."
Mao said that India is already finished. What is there to be afraid of? The locals said, "This is the problem of cultural heritage. It is too profound to talk to an uncultured person like you."
When Mao heard this, he smiled sadly and did not say anything. He had long heard that the Soviets were the best at talking. He did not expect that the Turkmen, who had been educated by the Soviet Union, were also so good at talking.
The next job was the Foreign Minister. Chen Weizheng had always been worried about the position of the new Qin state's Foreign Minister because this minister was too young and had no work experience. Just because of nepotism and a good relationship with Hua Zheng, he got to this high position in one step. This person. It was Wang Ning.
Wang Ning was the same year as Liu Yu, and they were childhood friends. Normally, after studying in Germany, he should go to Xin Han to help Liu Yu. However, as soon as he came back, he asked his mother, Zhang Xiaoxian, to ask him to help in Longshan Bank. After working in Longshan Bank for a year, just as the Republic of China was established, Maud Bundle sent a group of young people to Minquan City to help. Wang Ning was one of them. He stayed in Minquan City for a year. Because of his calmness in handling foreign affairs, he was sent back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Shin Myung Province by Wei Jie. When Hua Zheng established the new Qin state, the first candidate for the Foreign Minister was Wang Ning.
Wang Ning was not very smart. His instantaneous reaction speed was not fast, but a little slow. It was this kind of slowness that had an innate advantage in handling foreign affairs. He was not panicked when he encountered problems and really thought twice before he acted.
Wang Ning came to Ashgabat and was warmly welcomed by the Turkmen. The purpose of Wang Ning's trip was to open up the mainland transportation line between Xin Han and New Qin. In the west of Turkmenistan, he rented a 500-kilometer-long and 500-meter-wide passage. From Hailabad in New Qin State to Hanning in Xin Han, a 1,500-kilometer-long passage would be opened. The construction of a two-way six-lane highway and a high-speed railway would be started at the same time. Turkmenistan said that it would provide the 500-kilometer-long and 500-meter-wide passage free of charge. But it must build a highway interchange and a high-speed railway station in Kazanjik and Qagar. Wang Ning thought that this was a way that was beneficial to both sides and should be supported. As for the problem of beautiful women and becoming an affiliated country, Wang Ning did not talk about it.
In Ashgabat, Wang Ning contacted Uzbekistan and held a meeting attended by Xin Han, New Qin, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The purpose of the meeting was to open a passenger train from Liyang to Seoul.
Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan had a deep prejudice against the New Han State, but they did not have much hostility to the New Qin State. Uzbekistan knew that the labor force in New Qin State was not enough, so it repeatedly talked to Wang Ning about labor rental. Wang Ning told Uzbekistan that the development of New Qin State required a lot of labor force. If Uzbekistan could provide it, why not? Of course, the prerequisite was to smooth the traffic. They could not let Uzbekistan workers walk to work.
On January 1, 2028, the Middle East Express was opened. It started in Liyang and ended in Seoul. On the same day, the construction of the Qin Han Grand Passage was announced. It was divided into four sections. The first section was in New Qin State, the second section was in Turkmenistan, and the third and fourth sections were in Xin Han. In New Qin State, the high-speed railway and highway from Hailabad to Liyang were also started at the same time.
After a large-scale investment, Hua Zheng found that he had no money!
Wang Ning told Hua Zheng that the best way was to get a loan from Longshan Bank. With the chemical industry of New Qin State, it would not be a problem to repay the loan.
Liu Yu shelved the plan for the Caspian Sea Ferry and placed the construction of the infrastructure on the Qin-Han Grand Passageway. The Xin Han State was established two years earlier than the Xin Qin State, but its diplomatic work had always been lagging behind. This was related to Qiu Cha's personality. Some people said that once a person reached an age, they would not like to talk to strangers, nor would they be good at making strange visits. Qiu Cha was almost sixty years old, but he actually did not pay attention to his neighbors, which was a bit too much.
Reaching an agreement with the Russians to borrow the Black Sea was the work of Kunling Province's Governor Wu Zhinan. It did not have much to do with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
When Wu Zhinan took office, he began to travel around the region. Liu Yu supported his work and sent a Jeep to him as a means of transportation. After a field inspection, Wu Zhinan rejected the idea of finding an exit from the Southern Caucasus. Instead, he tried to negotiate with Russia. He also entered the Northern Caucasus to investigate the actual situation before reaching an agreement with Russia.
Even after signing the agreement with Russia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was still baffled. In their view, Russia and Xin Han had an irreconcilable enmity, so why would they lend a passage to Xin Han?
Liu Yu also did not understand and asked Qiucha about it. Qiucha told him that Russia was weighing the pros and cons. He already knew that Russia could not compete with the seven countries in terms of economy and military. Since they could not compete, why not change their relationship from hostile to friendly? Since you asked me for help, then I will make you owe me a favor. Lending a passage in exchange for decades of peace. Russia also has a wise man! He could not tell what the Russians were thinking, and he was an incompetent Prime Minister. It was mainly because he was too old and closed himself off. Can Wu Zhinan be transferred back to Seoul to be the Vice-Premier of the State Council? The Governor of Kunling Province would be replaced by Zhou Qing.
Wu Zhinan told Liu Yu that the Minister of Foreign Affairs would be changed. Although diplomatic work required principles, it was more important to be reasonable. If they were too stubborn, they would not achieve their diplomatic goals. Liu Yu asked Wu Zhinan about the suitable candidate for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Wu Zhinan recommended Qian Yu. The previous Minister of Foreign Affairs was a practical person, and he was more suitable to be the Governor of Anxi Province. Anxi Province would be separated from Seoul and developed independently. Looking at the three provinces in Xin Han, Tyumen Province, which had the best conditions, had the best development. It had already accounted for half of Xin Han's economy. Kunling Province's economy had been developing rapidly for the past two years, and it was already ahead of Anxi Province. On the other hand, Anxi Province was better than Kunling in all aspects, but it had fallen to agriculture, animal husbandry, and service industries. The main reason was that Hancheng City could not manage Anxi Province.
Liu Yu nodded his head and told Wu Zhinan to quickly hand over Kunling's work and take over Anxi Province as soon as possible to develop Anxi Province's economy.
