When Qin Zhiyuan left Djibouti, the two river basins had already begun to take action. 23us.

Date palm trees have always been widespread in North Africa and the Middle East, but no one has ever paid attention to date palm trees or desertification control before, so no one has consciously expanded the planting area of date palm trees.
Qin Zhiyuan's orders were very efficient. Even the king and queen set an example by planting date palm trees in Djibouti, and the entire Western Province took action instantly.
In fact, afforestation is also a technical job, and the key lies in the selection of trees. If the selection is improper, not only will the afforestation not have the effect of improving the environment, but it will further worsen the environment. This has been verified in the history of the Republic.
With the Republic's lessons learned, Qin Zhiyuan would not make such a mistake.
The first is the selection of trees. The date palm trees chosen by Qin Zhiyuan have extremely high economic and ornamental values. This first makes people have the desire to plant date palm trees. This is a very key factor. Date palm trees are a kind of
This plant has been verified to be popular in the Middle East and North Africa. Because the life cycle of date palm trees is long, which can reach 150 years, there will be no situation where the first plant will die later. This is a very important factor. The Republic once prevented
Fengsha suffers from this aspect.
The other one is national power.
When it comes to environmental management, relying solely on individual initiative is basically ineffective, and it is difficult to see results. It must be led by national power, and the whole society must be mobilized together, and persist for the past ten or eight years, only in this way can we see results.
Although afforestation is nominally a matter of the Western Province, it is also inseparable from other provinces. Imperial University needs to provide technical support, the Ministry of Industry needs to provide mechanical support, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to plan. If you want to do something well, just do it.
It requires the joint efforts of the whole society.
Finally, the responsibility rests with the people. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't do the big pot thing. Ten trees per person is a deadly task and must be completed. If one tree is missing, Qin Zhiyuan will ask Chen Kangjian. In this way, everything will be done from top to bottom.
No one dares to slack off.
Chen Kangjian is quite smart. After receiving orders from Qin Zhiyuan, Chen Kangjian divided the Western Province into four regions, namely the special economic zone around the Persian Gulf, the military-controlled area including Djibouti, the Lesser Aden Hanish Islands, and the original territory of Iraq.
agricultural development zones and the western part of the Mediterranean coast.
In fact, the Western Province of Lan Fang refers specifically to the western region along the Mediterranean coast. This is the only land that Lan Fang legitimately obtained from the French, and the other lands are just additions.
After being divided into four districts, Chen Kangjian was also responsible. As the person in charge of the Western Province, Chen Kangjian was only responsible for afforestation in the military-controlled areas. There were dedicated personnel in charge of other areas. This way, the burden on Chen Kangjian's shoulders was light.
many.
The weather in Djibouti was really unbearably hot. After only staying in Djibouti for two days, Qin Zhiyuan left for Egypt to prepare for a week-long state visit to Egypt.
It is really a state matter. Although Egypt's diplomatic power is still in the hands of the British, and Yang Deshan's invitation to the British has not been approved, Qin Zhiyuan still has a way to secretly infiltrate Chen Cang. The construction of Lan Fang's embassy in Cairo has already begun.
, Qin Zhiyuan set off for Cairo under the pretext of inspecting the construction progress. This was indeed a bit shameless, but it made the British unable to refuse.
Although the legation was not at the level of an embassy, it was nominally Lanfang's territory. Qin Zhiyuan was patrolling his own territory, which gave the British no reason to object.
Not everyone agrees with Qin Zhiyuan's itinerary, and Old Renault is one of them.
You are really degenerate. Apart from the Nile Delta, what else can you see in Egypt that is worthy of your attention? You are not afraid that the British will find out about your relationship with Yang. Old Reno's ridicule and contempt are not concealed.
Qin Zhiyuan is going to France for vacation, and of course Old Renault will also follow him, so he can revisit his old place.
Lanfang's current radio system has covered all warships. Even if Old Renault is in Corsica, he will not delay directing the operation of the enterprise. Old Renault has now transcended the scope of ordinary businessmen. Even if Old Renault is no longer Lanfang
Fang and Lanfang's enterprises will not have any problems and will move forward according to their own inertia.
Old Renault knew about the relationship between Yang Deshan and Qin Zhiyuan, but he didn't attach much importance to Yang Deshan. In Old Renault's view, Yang Deshan, the Egyptian king, was no different from the chiefs in North Africa. The difference may be that Yang Deshan managed a larger territory.
But under the premise that the British were causing trouble, it would be unwise for Qin Zhiyuan to rush to show his goodwill to Egypt. This might expose the connection between Yang Deshan and Lan Fang.
Don't be afraid, think about it, Egypt is located at the junction of Asia and Europe. A while ago, the British launched a blockade of the Gulf of Aden in order to cut off our connection with the Western Province, so it is suspicious that we do not have a good relationship with Egypt. Qin Zhiyuan finished.
, I still feel a little unfinished, and my sinister nature strikes again: Even if the British find out that we are wooing Egypt, what can the British do? In order to ensure Yang Deshan's loyalty to the British Empire, the British must use more chips. Anyway, anyway
It’s all Yang Deshan’s benefit, so it doesn’t matter if we act together or something.
When it comes to actual interests, Qin Zhiyuan really doesn't pay much attention to face, especially since face can't be eaten as food, so he must not do anything to save face and suffer punishment.
Then how are you going to stimulate the British? Be careful of going too far. Old Renault has the attitude of just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Haha, what do we have now that the British lack most? Qin Zhiyuan has the confidence to throw money at it. When it comes to cash, Qin Zhiyuan really doesn’t hate any country, whether it is the United Kingdom or the United States.
Qin Zhiyuan, who sold the national debt, now has sufficient cash flow and has billions of cash in hand for mobilization. Although the British are a big business and have a deep foundation, the British government itself does not have much money, otherwise the British shipbuilding plan will not be possible.
After delaying and delaying, only one Nelson-class battleship, a reduced version of the N3 type battleship, has been produced. And the number is also limited. It is no longer like four or five ships when construction started during the World War. Only two ships are planned to be built.
Throw money at it
As soon as Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Old Renault's face began to twitch. Old Renault was Qin Zhiyuan's biggest financial backer. Qin Zhiyuan wanted to spend money on Egypt, and Old Renault's wallet would inevitably be damaged.
You don’t have to worry, I’m not going to give you cash, technology export is the most cost-effective. Don’t the British still retain the right to national defense in Egypt? Then we won’t involve national defense. It’s still okay to help the Egyptians build one or two factories.
, such as building a tractor factory or something, Qin Zhiyuan is planning to do something big.
Tractors and tanks are actually only separated by a wall. A tractor factory can become a tank factory after a simple transformation. Of course, this simple transformation will be difficult to achieve without technical support. This is not a problem for Lanfang. As early as the Foreign Legion period,
The Chinese workers under Qin Zhiyuan learned how to build tanks in the Renault factory. Now, after several years of development, they are even more familiar with the craft.
It is impossible for the British to allow such a factory to appear. Old Renault is not optimistic about Qin Zhiyuan's plan.
Britain's control over the colonies is also reflected in the aspect of weapons systems. Take Egypt as an example. Although the Egyptian army is equipped with tanks, because Egypt does not have the ability to support production, the more advanced Egypt's equipment becomes, the more Egypt's dependence on Britain becomes.
will be bigger.
It depends on what conditions the British can come up with. Qin Zhiyuan wants to break Egypt's dependence on the British. The less Egypt relies on the British, the more chips Yang Deshan will have in his hands. So in order to win over Yang Deshan, the British
You'll have to pay more.
In mid-September, the task force finally arrived in Egypt with stops and starts along the way.
The task force was composed of warships and could not enter the Nile River without the permission of the British. This was not a big problem. Xie Rundong led the task force to escort Julie, Misha and others across the Suez Canal and turned around to Beirut, Lebanon. Qin
Zhiyuan took the Lanfang Imperial Pearl cruise ship to Cairo.
Well, Qin Zhiyuan's going to Cairo is not very legitimate, so he can just lose face himself, there is no need for Julie and Misha to suffer along with them.
Lan Fang's embassy in Yecheng is under construction. According to the construction progress, it will not be put into use until the year after next. Therefore, Gu Shaochuan and his newlywed wife Huang Huilan are currently living in the Cairo Hotel. After Qin Zhiyuan arrived in Cairo, he also chose a place to stay.
At the Cairo Hotel.
In fact, according to the treatment standards for caring for Shaochuan, it is inappropriate for Gu Shaochuan to stay in the Cairo Hotel for a long time. After all, the Cairo Hotel is the best hotel in Cairo, and the presidential suite is not cheap. If you stay for a long time, let alone Gu Shaochuan can't afford it, even if it is
Lanfang's Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also feel pain.
But because of Huang Huilan's existence, all this is not a problem.
Huang Huilan is Huang Bohan's eldest daughter, and she is the most beloved daughter. Huang Bohan has always loved this apple of his eye, so it is no problem to stay in a hotel or something.
Speaking of the marriage between Huang Huilan and Gu Shaochuan, it was due to the Spanish Flu a few years ago.
Gu Shaochuan's former wife was Tang Bao, the beloved daughter of Tang Zhaoyi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. The union of Gu Shaochuan and Tang Bao also caused a lot of jokes. Later, not long after Gu Shaochuan and Tang Bao got married, Tang Bao unfortunately died of contracting the Spanish flu.
, then Gu Shaochuan met Huang Huilan, who had also recently lost her husband, and thus the union of Gu Shaochuan and Huang Huilan came about.
Speaking of which, Huang Huilan is a little older than Qin Zhiyuan, but when she met Qin Zhiyuan, Huang Huilan did not follow the normal etiquette and call him His Majesty the King. Instead, she called her uncle. This really made Qin Zhiyuan a little bit dumbfounded.
