Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 641 Political Bet
"Back to the emperor, on the way to Beijing, I just had some rough ideas, please don't take offense if I said something wrong."

"Tell me."

"This battle is an expedition of labor and division, and it is a taboo for military strategists. It is a long way from China to Europe. The main problem is the supplies of the troops. If the supplies cannot keep up, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it will be difficult to unleash it."

"That's right. Most of the countries that fell in Europe are our allies. The people there are eagerly waiting for the support of the Chinese army. At that time, on the one hand, the logistics supplies of the empire will be transported by planes and transport vehicles. The country and the people will also provide you with continuous supplies, and I will let you lead your troops to Europe to fight a bloody road and establish a lifeline from China to Berlin."

"Yes, your majesty is very thoughtful. Also, we are going on an expedition, and if the army is fighting on foot, it will inevitably be too slow to advance, which will easily delay the opportunity of the fighter. Therefore, I secretly thought that we should take advantage of the mechanized equipment of the imperial army, and use military vehicles and warships. Vehicles are used to transport troops, which not only increases the speed of advance, but also enhances the suddenness and intensity of the war.”

"Hehe, what you want to talk about is blitzkrieg, right? That's what the Germans are best at. This time, let's deal with them in their own way. Okay, we will do as you say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Zhongzheng, come closer." Guan Xuqing beckoned to him, and slowly moved his body over without knowing why.

Guan Xuqing said in a low voice: "I will give you a kit. When your army reaches the outside of Berlin, don't attack rashly. Open this kit and take a look, and then act according to the plan. I can guarantee that you will be let go." Unexpected results were achieved."

His face was full of suspicion. In the past, Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms liked to use the kits the most. Now the emperor also resorted to this method.

Kneeling down to the emperor, he left the Forbidden City and rushed to the Northwest Military Region to take up his post without stopping.

Guan Xuqing nodded while looking at the back, and said softly: "You can teach a child."

Wang Shang came to report to the emperor: "Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang has an important meeting with me."

"Let him in."

After Wu Tingfang came to Danxixia to salute the emperor, he said loudly, "Your Majesty, Washington is calling."

"Oh? What happened to the Americans?"

"Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 31st President of the United States, plans to hold a presidential inauguration ceremony on October 10th. You are invited to attend."

Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile, as if he had expected this matter a long time ago.

Liu Buchan rolled his eyes and said to the emperor: "If I remember correctly, is this Franklin Roosevelt the little Roosevelt we often talk about?"

"That's right." Wu Tingfang took the conversation and said with a smile: "Time flies by like a fleeting horse. I think Roosevelt Jr. just lost his mother and had no family and was brought to see the emperor by our minister. He was only eleven or twelve years old at that time." It’s just a child, it’s really hard to predict that he will ascend to the throne of the President of the United States in one fell swoop.”

Feng Xianghua shook his head and said: "How can you call it unpredictable? The emperor told him more than once that he would definitely become the president of the United States. No, it will be fulfilled today. The emperor really sees it."

Everyone praises together.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said, "I'm not a fortune-teller either. I can calculate the past and the future. It's just that since the first time I saw this child, I thought he was promising, so I decided to train him well. Actually, it's not surprising. American politics is nothing more than a contest of money. This credit should mainly be credited to Qiao Zhiyong. Roosevelt stepped into politics when he was a child, ran for state legislature, governor, congressman, and even later in the presidential election. Qiao Zhiyong used Qiao Zhiyong The group's huge interest network in the United States paved the way for him, among other things, but in this presidential election, the Joe Group invested 30 billion U.S. dollars, and also encouraged business tycoons Rockefeller, Morgan and others to fund it. It is easy to create momentum, once the public opinion circles praise it, and the political circles encourage it, this matter will be achieved [-]% of the time. In addition, Roosevelt Jr. has gained a lot of experience since he became the governor of New York State. New York can be said to be the experimental site for Roosevelt to cultivate his ability to conduct political activities and manage national affairs, and he has accumulated a large amount of political wealth here, so it is not unexpected that he is now running for the presidency."

Although the emperor said so, everyone knew in their hearts that Roosevelt Jr. was the emperor's most important pawn in the American political circle. It was not easy to train a child from an ordinary family to become the president of the United States. In this regard, the empire has paid a lot Energy and financial resources, but as long as you succeed, the rewards you receive are not measurable with money. From this point of view, the emperor has far-sightedness, and he did not hesitate to make a political bet that will take 20 years to bear fruit. This kind of courage is definitely not something that ordinary people dare to try .

Guan Xuqing suddenly had a sad face, and sighed slightly: "This child is also very good-natured. He was originally a good person and then became a crippled person. Every time he thinks about it, it makes people sigh."

Everyone was startled, and they didn't understand what the emperor meant, but it was inconvenient to ask further due to the large number of people.

Gossip less, and it came to October in a blink of an eye. On October 10rd, Guan Xuqing put on a brand-new emperor's uniform, and brought senior officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Military Department to the Pacific Ocean on "Air Force 3". Washington, the capital of the United States, is going to attend the inauguration ceremony of the 1st President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt.

The person who came to pick up the plane was Truman, the next American vice president. After seeing the Chinese emperor, he looked very respectful and even a little nervous. He extended his hand to shake hands with him, but felt it was inappropriate, and the scene appeared for a few seconds. Embarrassed, Guan Xuqing smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Mr. Truman, there is no need to be formal. I am attending the presidential inauguration as a guest today, so there is no need to be so polite."

Only then did Truman hold the hand of the Chinese emperor and said: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor traveled across the ocean and came to the United States. On behalf of Mr. President and all the American people, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you. Mr. President is waiting for you at the White House. Please come to the United States." I'll get in the car."

Guan Xuqing and others sat in the VIP car sent by the White House, and Wu Tingfang, Feng Xianghua and others sat in the second car. Xu Shichang murmured displeasedly: "Americans are really rude. Roosevelt just became the president of the United States. I forgot about the kindness of the emperor of the empire. It’s still not much, but the airs are put up first. Knowing that the holy car is coming, he only sent a vice president to pick him up, but he himself greeted him at the White House. What a great official authority! It is said that Westerners are the most particular about diplomatic etiquette, and seeing them today is nothing but a group of people who don’t have a ruler.”

Wu Tingfang pondered: "According to international exchanges, it is the highest courtesy for the vice president to pick up the plane. There has never been a precedent for the president to pick up the plane."

Xu Shichang stared at his eyes: "What are the precedents? We Chinese people say that receiving water from others must be repaid by springs. Our emperor said it politely, but Roosevelt doesn't know what's going on?"

Xu Shichang suffocated, but wanted to see what the little Roosevelt, who was down and out in the past, had become now.

When the convoy arrived in front of the White House, the surroundings immediately became noisy. Xu Shichang got out of the car and saw that there was a huge crowd of people outside the lawn of the White House, including local overseas Chinese, representatives from all walks of life in the United States, and a large number of American reporters. Author: A warm welcome to His Majesty the Great Emperor of China and the accompanying representatives!

As soon as the VIPs arrived, the fountain on the White House Square became lively, colorful water splashes rendered a festive atmosphere, and the band on the West Lawn played welcome music at the same time. In front of the White House, people in black dresses stood clapping, Surrounded by a young man like stars holding the moon, this man looks handsome and looks towards the opposite side with fascination. He is just sitting in a wheelchair and seems to be quite inconvenient to move around.Seeing the distinguished guest coming, he urged the people behind to push the wheelchair over quickly. At this time, Guan Xuqing had already walked in front of the person and said, "Roosevelt, do you still remember me?"

Roosevelt?Xu Shichang's mind was buzzing, could this young man in a wheelchair be the next US President Roosevelt?Only now did he realize that it was not that he was disrespectful to the Chinese emperor, but that there was a special reason. At this moment, all the blame turned into surprise. Xu Shichang only felt his face was burning hot, and he looked at Wu Tingfang beside him. I glanced at it, and said in my heart, Lao Xu, Lao Xu, you have lived for more than 50 years, and you are still a blind person.

No one thought that after seeing the Chinese emperor, Roosevelt, who had been stern just now, had tears in his eyes and trembling lips, unable to speak for a long time.Guan Xuqing patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile, "Stop talking, I understand what's on your mind."

This meaningful scene was captured by a shrewd American reporter. That afternoon, major newspapers in the United States published this photo with the headline: The delicate relationship between Roosevelt Jr. and the Chinese emperor?
The two did not have too much conversation in front of the White House, and the American chief of protocol immediately invited the distinguished Chinese guests into the White House.

The host and guest came to the President's Oval Office first, and all irrelevant personnel withdrew.What Guan Xuqing didn't expect was that two bodyguards helped Roosevelt to climb to the ground. Roosevelt said in an excited voice, "Your Majesty, Roosevelt is very honored to see you again. Welcome, welcome to America."

Guan Xuqing hurriedly helped Roosevelt into the wheelchair, and said, "You, you are no longer the little Roosevelt you were in the past. You will soon be the president of the United States. You must be careful in everything. If the reporters outside know , I will definitely do another article later.”

Roosevelt adjusted his glasses, said with a wry smile, "I originally wanted to meet you at the airport, but I..." He looked down at his lower body and sighed helplessly.

"Needless to say, I understand." Guan Xuqing also sighed slightly: "What's the matter with your disability?"
