I am still confident when I am sick and walking in front of me. Love/book/author

As a VIP invited by the King of Sihanouk in this trip, he naturally has this qualification. If he walks behind, the Cambodians will not be able to distinguish between the primary and secondary relationships. How embarrassing? This is what is called taking the initiative.

Second, it is the important position he has in the world economic circle, which also determines his identity and honor. On an equal footing with the heads of these small countries, it is well-founded. After all, the industries he owns can be said to be rich enough to rival a country, and even has much more economic income than these small countries for many years.

Secondly, my father is now a member of the Central Committee. Even if I want to be humble, I have to take into account my father's face and not be affected. The mixed reasons together have led to Fan Wubing's various ways of performing now.

The embassy counselor and a colonel from the Cambodian armed forces came up and greeted Fan Wubing cordially.

Since the royal family restoration in 1993, three armed forces in Cambodia formed the Cambodian armed forces, with Sihanouk as the supreme commander, and then renamed it to the Khmer Royal Army. The country is divided into five military regions and one special military region, with twelve main infantry divisions and a total force of about 130,000.

But in fact, with Cambodia's current national strength, it is a bit difficult to support an army of more than 100,000 people.

According to the current development trend of international military forces, this military force dominated by low quality and weak combat effectiveness is among the top ones that should be eliminated. After Cambodia began peaceful reconstruction, a phased disarmament plan has been formulated, which plans to streamline the total number of armed forces to about 60,000, and appropriately increase the proportion of air force and naval areas.

The colonel of the Khmer Wang Family Army was called Somie Pi. It is a very strange name. If Fan Wubing means it, it is not clear. However, this person also looks red and black, and looks very funny.

Colonel Somivapi said a lot of polite words to Fan Wubing. Fan Wubing didn't understand a single word. Instead, he followed the translator next to him and listened for a while, and then told Fan Wubing that the other party was saying hello to him, and said that His Majesty the King welcomed Mr. Fan Wubing in the palace.

So, Fan Wubing and others, accompanied by the embassy staff, took a red flag car to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh for a banquet under the guidance of Colonel Somwipi.

Fan Wubing was surprised to be able to ride in a red flag car in Phnom Penh. The embassy staff explained to him that the car was very famous. It was Sihanouk when he was in China. The Chinese government gave him the land. Later, he transported it to Cambodia as a souvenir to live in China for more than 20 years.

"Often people can't get into this car. This means that Mr. Fan, you are so tall." The embassy staff said to Fan Wubing.

Along the way, Fan Wubing looked out through the car window and saw a lot of pedestrians on the street. But the living conditions looked like they were. It looked a bit like the Chinese land in the 1970s. Or even worse.

Cambodia now implements a free economic policy. All industries are open to the outside world and encourage foreign investment. Last year, the Cambodian Parliament passed the Investment Law to specifically solve the problem of foreign investment. Currently, there are four types of foreign investment methods in mainland Cambodia, including sole proprietorship, joint venture, cooperation and leasing. Productive enterprises can be wholly foreign-owned. However, trading enterprises are not allowed to be wholly foreign-owned.

The Cambodian government has also issued a series of regulations and established regular consultation and dialogue mechanisms with investors. Currently, foreign investment mainly comes from China, Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, etc.

The wage income level in Cambodia is very low, with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and a serious polarization phenomenon. However, prices are still stable, but there is a shortage of medical treatment and medicine in rural areas, and medical facilities are poor.

Along the way, Fan Wubing saw many civilians riding motorcycles. This is the main transportation tool for ordinary people. Most of them are used cars from Japan and Taiwan. They look a bit ragged.

Because they are located in the tropical region, Cambodians' clothing is very thin. Their ethnic casual clothes are men wearing straight collar and buttoned tops. When the weather is hot, they do not wear tops, only sarongs or samurai. The sarong is sewn on both sides of cloth with various beautiful patterns, tied around the waist, and looks like a skirt. Shanpu is made of long cloth for Cambodian farmers' clothing, without sewing, wrapped from the waist down to the calves, then passed through the crotch, tightly tied around the waist, and the rest stretches out like a fish tail. Women's casual clothes are mostly silk round neck, double-breasted short-sleeved shirts, and the lower body is also wearing sarongs or samurai. Usually, they also have to wrap a long cloth towel with beautiful patterns around their waists.

"Can the RMB be used in Cambodia?" Fan Wubing looked at the bustling crowd outside and asked casually.

"Yes, the RMB is also considered a hard currency. In addition to the US dollar, the RMB is popular, but the Japanese yen is also very popular here." The embassy staff replied.

Japan is the largest aid country to Cambodia.

At the beginning, Cambodia will be provided with 100 million US dollars in aid every year, accounting for 20% of foreign countries, mainly involving highways and bridges, hydropower infrastructure and agriculture, rural development, health care, education, talent training, environmental protection, monument protection and justice.

In addition to Japan, it also has close relations with France. Cambodia was subjected to French colonial rule for 90 years. The two countries have a deep traditional relationship. France's aid to Cambodia involves culture and education, law, religion, police and military police training, agriculture, health, etc.

On the contrary, in recent years, the relationship between China and Cambodia has cooled down a bit.

As the saying goes, China has too much influence when crossing rivers and destroying bridges. It is still a bit of concern for small countries like Cambodia that are close to China, and they are afraid that their national affairs will not be independent. Therefore, ties with France, Japan and even the United States have become the main diplomatic means in the near future.

"How much does my country provide annual assistance to Cambodia?" Fan Wubing asked again.

"It's not too much anyway." The staff said vaguely.

Fan Wubing nodded, thinking that this is probably better than nothing. After all, the domestic economic situation cannot be said to be good now, and there are more places to spend money. Although there is no large amount of funds to aid the outside world, after more than ten years and the country is strong, these small countries can enjoy the kind care of the Celestial Kingdom again.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the Royal Palace in Cambodia.

Unlike the scenery outside, it is not an exaggeration to describe the palace as the four magnificent words.

The palace is also called the Simingwan Grand Palace. It is named after it is located at the intersection of the Upper Mekong River, Tonlesa River, Lower Mekong River and Bassa River. It was built in the late 19th century. The palace is rectangular, more than 400 meters long and more than 400 meters wide, with city walls outside. The palace has traditional Khmer architectural style and religious colors. The palace has spires, representing prosperity. The palace is painted with yellow and white, yellow represents Buddhism, and white represents Brahmanism. The palace was originally a wooden structure, but later converted into a cement structure, but it maintained its original style.

The Golden Palace is a place where the king is crowned, meets the guests of the state, holds religious ceremonies and receives foreign envoys to submit their letters to the state. The Senate, Congress and government members also hold inauguration ceremony here.

Poganige is also known as the Imperial Banquet, and is the main venue for performing palace ballets. The king also holds dinners and meets representatives of the masses here.

The Kaima Ling Palace is the back bedroom of King Sihanouk and Monile, and is also used to receive foreign heads of state who have visited Cambodia for official visits.

The Silver Hall is located on the side of the palace and is named after the ground is paved with 5,000 silver bricks. The palace enshrined the golden statue of King Sisova, weighing 90 kilograms, with more than 9,500 diamonds embedded on it. The heaviest one is 25 carats, and there is also a large jade Buddha statue from the 17th century.

The Moonlight Building is located above the main gate of the palace. It is named after the moonlight pours into the hall at night. It is used for the king to ascend the throne, hold major celebrations and state banquets.

When the convoy arrived outside the palace, the Wang Jia Guard immediately came up to greet him. With special etiquette officials, he took Fan Wubing and his party into the palace.

Most of the palaces in the royal palace have been opened to the public and used to make money. Only a few palaces have been left for the royal family to live. Etiquette officials told Fan Wubing and others that the king received guests from China in the Golden Palace.

However, after Fan Wubing saw the military posture of the palace guard sent by the other party, he felt that it was preferential and improved.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the Golden Palace. Someone in it spread the word on his behalf. Fan Wubing and others walked into the palace and saw the royal family members who had already held a banquet waiting for their arrival.

When I saw so many royal families present, not only Fan Wubing, but also the embassy staff and the accompanying staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were shocked, thinking to myself what kind of day is this? Why are so many Cambodian royal families present? Even if they choose a king, it is enough!

The king and the queen sat upright on the throne, looking at Fan Wubing and others walking in with glittering heads and smiling.

Fan Wubing looked at the situation in the hall and thought that this was a very formal occasion and he couldn't lose his etiquette. So he put his hands together and raised them to his eyebrows to greet the king and queen on the throne.

The king was very kind, as if he was reincarnated by Maitreya Buddha, and his face kept a smile on his face at all times. After seeing Fan Wubing saluted, he hurriedly replied and asked Fan Wubing and others to sit down.

Fan Wubing looked at it and found that the gold and gems inlaid on the chair alone were worth more than hundreds of thousands, right?

The life of the royal family is indeed very luxurious. No wonder they all believe in Buddhism, just hope that the people will accept it!
