Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Since Ye Ziwen is still recovering from illness, Ms. Wang Chunling, the president and editor-in-chief of Xiangxi Daily, is fully responsible for accompanying Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte. Coincidentally, both Ms. Wang Chunling and Princess Charlotte can speak German and communicate with each other. There is almost no difficulty in getting up.

After the dinner, Ms. Wang Chunling accompanied Princess Charlotte to watch a movie in the living area, which is a relatively novel thing in Europe.Zhao Songyang was ordered to bring ten guards with him. Although Anjiang, a model city, has successfully achieved zero crime through planned economy and household registration management, basic dignity is still required, and couples who plan to go to the movies tonight may be disappointed. Because Marshal Wang Zhenyu has already ordered the venue to be reserved.

"Dear Marshal, please allow me to use your subordinate's honorific title to you. I am very grateful for your kindness to the Principality of Luxembourg. I think our country needs your further help now. Of course we will not ask for unilateral Request, we hope to form a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship between each other." Deputy Prime Minister Juncker expressed his attitude to Wang Zhenyu's side very sincerely, so that everyone can get straight to the point and save a lot of unnecessary verbosity .

"Has Qing Heng come?" Wang Zhenyu asked Wang Zhenbang in a low voice, but Wang Zhenbang didn't answer, but left immediately.

"Dear Deputy Prime Minister Juncker, I appreciate your frankness and directness. I think we can omit many unnecessary steps, directly raise each other's expectations, and then see how big the gap is, and whether it is worth our time and sincerity. Focus on narrowing this gap." Wang Zhenyu also clearly stated his attitude, everyone, stop talking and talk about conditions.

Juncker nodded in satisfaction, took a folder from his deputy, and gently opened it: "The Principality of Luxembourg hopes to lease a piece of land in your country for a long time to become a temporary residence for the subjects of the Principality. Please note that we are not intending to set up a colonial settlement , but only hope that through such a leased land, we can avoid European disputes and continue to develop the economy. Of course, we will also give enough returns for this. We intend to provide you and the area you lead with a total of 00 million pounds without interest The loan, the loan period is ten years, I think this condition is very generous."

Wang Zhenyu didn't say a word, and he knew that this thin Luxembourg old man was deliberately lowering the price, and he didn't have to repay the loan of 00 million pounds.It's really stingy.

Wang Zhenyu pretended to be generous and smiled at Juncker: "Dear Deputy Prime Minister Juncker, can I understand that this is just a commercial operation, you just need us to repair some houses, and then let you live, you don't have to pay rent, borrow Just give us some money to develop and it’s over.”

Junker obviously didn't hear the irony in Wang Zhenyu's words, and he said very proudly: "Oh, no, no, you misunderstood, in fact, apart from extraterritoriality, I hope this is a temporary concession, and our Duchy of Luxembourg will Retain your own military, judicial and diplomatic powers in this region. Of course, I know that the current situation in your country is very unstable, so we, the Principality of Luxembourg, will do our best to support you in maintaining your current status."

Wang Zhenyu almost laughed angrily. He gently closed the folder in front of him, and then said to the old man Junker with a smile: "Then I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking. What you need to negotiate is kindness and kindness." Selfless God, not me, a greedy Chinese general. You can rest in my city, and say nothing more."

Watching Wang Zhenyu get up suddenly to leave the venue, Junker's shrewd head finally realized that he had got all the questions wrong, and scared away the guests as soon as he asked for a price.

"No, no, dear Wang, don't go away. I told you that my motherland needs your help. It was just my personal suggestion just now. You can also make your own suggestions."

Wang Zhenyu exchanged glances with Zhao Hengti and Huang Xuchu, and cursed in his heart: "Since I'm here to ask for help, what are you doing? You think I'm the Qing government."

Wang Zhenyu sat down still with a smile on his face: "As I said just now, there is too much difference in the conditions of each other, and there is no need to talk about it. Mr. Junker, if possible, I hope you can be sincere and show your strength. Sincerity. Otherwise, it would be pointless for me to raise any conditions, wouldn’t it? Talking, I will only talk about the conditions that can impress me, Wang Zhenyu. Please understand this. Don't take offense if you are reckless."

Juncker, who has rich diplomatic experience, knew that he had encountered a difficult role, but for the sake of the future of 30 compatriots, he endured it, and then motioned sideways to his assistant to bring another folder.

"Well, Wang, in fact, the Principality of Luxembourg is very generous to friends who sincerely help us. In fact, we have a series of plans, but this must be combined with your local actual situation. But in terms of funds, we can talk first, For example, we are willing to pay ground rent to you and the local government you lead at the price of 300 million pounds per year, provided that you provide enough land for the subjects of our principality to live in. And you have to give us the raw materials we need for industrial development And guarantee, we need a lot of coal and iron... Of course, in return, we will consider helping you build a military factory, according to the current standards of the largest military factory in Luxembourg, and provide enough equipment to arm 30 troops. After all, we It’s a small country, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you for refuge. This condition is very suitable. In addition, it is our basic requirement to retain the army and the judiciary, because no one can guarantee that you will always be our friend. Self-protection is The basic attitude of being responsible to [-] Luxembourg subjects."

Wang Zhenyu listened carefully to every word the translator said, and used a pencil to write and draw in his notebook from time to time.

In this way, after Deputy Prime Minister Juncker finished speaking for a long time, Wang Zhenyu finally spoke: "Deputy Prime Minister Juncker, I must say thank you, because I really feel your sincerity, I feel this matter, it is very complicated, isn't it One or two people can finish the conversation in a day or two. So what is my opinion? Let's set a general direction first, and the specific cooperation details can be discussed with the people below me. Has this Qingheng arrived?" Wang Zhenyu's last sentence is right Wang Zhenbang said that he had already seen the fifth brother come in. . .

"This is my senior, Mr. Qing Heng. He is my uncle's chief of staff. He is very capable. My plan is like this. Bring me a map." The director of the Changde Administrative Office did not take this idle job, but was sent north by Wang Zhenyu to meet Wang Longzhong once. He had just returned to Anjiang to return to his job in the past few days, and Wang Zhenyu planned to entrust him with an important task.

The map was laid out, and Wang Zhenyu pointed to the location of Liuzhou and said, "Here, this is here. I plan to use this area as your Luxembourger's immigration settlement. Once an agreement is reached, I will use the funds you provided in advance to build here. Water and electricity facilities, drainage and sewage are all done for you, as well as railways and roads. Haha, three links and one leveling must be guaranteed. As for industrial development, in order to eliminate our mutual guard, my opinion is that we all work together, such as steel factory, we can build a steel plant with an annual output of one million tons in Liuzhou. You see, in Luzhai County to the east of Liuzhou, the iron ore content here is very high, and in the south is Laibin, where the coal mine resources It is also very rich. Looking at the transportation, as long as the railway is repaired to welcome guests, you can go to the Youjiang River and go to sea. How about it? My friend, I have considered it reasonably, right?"

Several high-ranking officials from Luxembourg exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. Wang Zhenyu waved his hand to remove the map: "I just mentioned a question, keeping the army. I agree. After all, this is not at home. It is understandable to be a little defensive. But the scope of activities must be limited. In addition, the entire city is contracted out. I am not willing. I hope Liuzhou will not become a concession. In fact, I do not have the power to sign the concession treaty. So I hope you can understand my difficulties. As for the government of your country, you can As long as this city continues to exist, Liuzhou is only the central store of your country in my territory. Citizens of your country can enter the enterprises, factories and schools we set up to engage in various jobs, including our government. Can you also become civil servants? We admit Dual citizenship is enough. In addition, Europe will be peaceful and stable in the future. You are going to go home. Let’s talk about the handover issue, okay? I mean roughly these points. If you think it is still possible to talk about it, then the next step Just divide into several groups and start consultations on specific issues, and I hope to reach an agreement as soon as possible."

Juncker and several senior Luxembourg officials immediately started a tense conversation in German. It was true that time was too tight, and Juncker quickly agreed to discuss in groups.

Halfway through, Wang Zhenyu was in a good mood immediately. He turned his head and confessed to Wang Zhenbang: "Let Mr. Ye talk to them about this issue of financial assistance. If you can ask for more, you are welcome. We also took the risk. God knows that the British and French How will people react? Let Yang Wangui discuss this military issue with them, and discuss it clearly, so as not to misfire in the future. As for the issue of urban planning, let the old chief of staff (Qing Heng) and Huang Xuchu discuss it together. I consider Liuzhou In a special city in the city, you, the old chief of staff, will be the mayor. Deputy Huang Xuchu, don’t be the secretary general of the Guangxi provincial government. You are still a secretary under military control. Wait until Wang Zhixiang, the civil affairs chief, takes office Let him arrange it himself. You guys have to talk about it carefully, and let me solve all the problems that can be solved now..."
