Chapter 269 Emperor Yang's visit

Less than a year after he ascended the throne, Emperor Yang made his first overseas trip as emperor. This news shocked the whole country and the whole world. What’s different from the past is that this time he will be sailing around the world, not only going to Europe, but also visiting the Americas.

, especially South American countries that he had no contact with before.

This bad news made the countries in South America that he announced to visit immediately become nervous. You must know that fire prevention, theft prevention and Yang Feng prevention have become the consensus of all small countries in recent years, and all those targeted by him will fall without exception.

Damn it, from Japan to the Philippines, Hawaii to the United States, and recently Colombia, Mexico, and Guatemala. It can be said that wherever Yang Feng looks, it is like a curse and it immediately becomes war-torn. The Chinese emperor and his

Those two partners who were in cahoots spread horribly around the world like a plague.

In order not to become his next target, even though they knew that he would not be able to go to America for at least half a year, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries quickly started preparations to make the emperor feel at home.

The Nautilus set sail in Tianjin. After leaving Dagu Pass, it was escorted by the navy's newly commissioned armored cruisers Yinglong and Chilong. It reviewed the Beiyang Fleet waiting outside Dagu Pass. It first went to Shanghai to accept the worship of the southern subjects, and then returned to

Hangzhou encouraged the young students of Hangzhou University, gave them speeches, instilled in them the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and accepted the adoring eyes of the female students. Then they went to the old palace in Fuzhou to stay for a while, and to visit the Royal Army, which had not yet had time to move.

College and the Royal Naval College, as the Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army, inspected the students' learning situation, and finally went to Guangzhou to meet with southern businessmen, and then left China and headed south via Saigon to Singapore, where a little conflict arose.

A dozen dissident Chinese exiles held banners at the pier to protest against the emperor's arrival, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the emperor's supporters. The two sides began to quarrel and eventually developed into fist fights. It is said that the famous revolutionary Mr. Sun Wen

He was injured and hospitalized. It seemed that he had been injured on some important part of a man. Emperor Yang expressed regret for this.

"China is a democratic constitutional monarchy. We allow the existence of dissidents. Citizens have the right to express their political opinions, but they must use legal methods, otherwise legal sanctions are waiting for them." Emperor Yang said on People's Radio

said in an interview.

After leaving Singapore, we stopped in Colombo to refuel, and then drove directly west to Kuwait. As a gift from the Ottoman Emperor to Emperor Yang, this land does not belong to China, but is the private territory of the Chinese royal family and is directly assigned by the royal family.

People management.

Here Emperor Yang and the Emir of Riyadh who came all the way to visit visited the newly completed Kuwait Grand Mosque. This magnificent building cost one hundred thousand pounds and was covered with white tiles shipped from China. It looked white and flawless.

The Arabs were so surprised that the inauguration ceremony was personally presided over by the Ottoman Emperor. In addition, a large number of clergy and imams from China were sent here to study the doctrine together.

After leaving Kuwait, Emperor Yang did not go directly to Europe, but went straight south to Western Australia. This nominally British colony was actually completely controlled by him. The number of Chinese immigrants was even as large as that of European immigrants. Yang

Mining controls the entire Western Australia economy, and Bofors also has a steel plant, an arsenal and a tractor factory here. Unfortunately, the once picturesque Perth has completely disappeared, and the sky is filled with white clouds instead of white clouds.

It's the thick smoke billowing from steel plants and power plants.

But it is obvious that the residents here are very intoxicated with this scene, and their love for Emperor Yang who helped them turn the Swan River into the Thames River is beyond words. Now Perth has become an important industrial city in the southern hemisphere, and the heavy industrial products produced here almost occupy

It has taken over the entire Australian market. It has even begun to spread to Africa. In particular, the mining equipment produced by tractor factories is the favorite of gold miners.

At the same time, arms were also very popular in that chaotic land. To the Transvaal and Orange republics alone, 50,000 rapid-fire rifles, 100 air-cooled heavy machine guns, 500 submachine guns, and two

Tens of millions of rounds of ammunition, fifty 75mm rapid-fire cannons and a hundred mortars. Hundreds of thousands of artillery shells.

These weapons were landed in Mozambique, a Portuguese territory, and then transported to Pretoria by rail. Although the British government also knew that Western Australia was selling weapons to the Boers, this was peacetime. They had no right to stop such trade.

, besides, Western Australia is not the only one doing this, Germany and France are also exporting large amounts of arms to Pretoria, and Germany even sells them poison gas bombs.

Moreover, in recent years, the Australian colonies have been seeking independence, and the eastern colonies have been particularly vocal, but Western Australia has never accepted their instigation. The Prime Minister of Western Australia even publicly declared that unless Her Majesty the Queen gives up Western Australia, Western Australia will never be

It would break away from the British Empire. In this case, Salisbury would not be able to ruin the relationship between the two parties.

After staying in Perth for a week, Emperor Yang then sailed to the Suez Canal again. After passing the canal, he went to Istanbul and received a somewhat exaggerated warm welcome from the Ottoman Empire. Hamid II was now bent on becoming a complete ally with Yang Feng.

, naturally they wanted to make the scene more grand. Not only did a special naval parade be held for him, but tens of thousands of army troops were also mobilized to hold military parades and military performances for him.

There are now more than 2,000 Chinese military instructors in his army, and even the weapons are being fully Boforsized. Anyway, the funds he recently embezzled from the Spanish-American War can only purchase the funds of the Yang Group according to the agreement.

Things, if this is the case, then it is natural to purchase Bofors arms on a large scale.

Rapid-fire rifles, air-cooled heavy machine guns, light machine guns, submachine guns, rapid-fire cannons, mortars, and even a large number of grenade launchers imitated the Chinese Army because they were trained by Chinese instructors. At least on the surface, this country's Army already has

The equipment level is not inferior to that of the Russian army, but the morale is a bit worse, but there is nothing we can do about it. Besides, the morale of the Russians is not much better than them.

In addition, knowing that Emperor Yang liked the female slaves in the Ottoman palace, His Majesty the Emperor specially presented him with ten of them, who were specially trained to serve men in the palace since childhood. Even Hamid was not willing to enjoy them, so this move immediately

Winning the sincere friendship of Emperor Yang, this guy was so happy that he even announced that he would jointly develop iron ore and build a large-scale steel plant in Turkey with the Ottoman Empire. Although the iron ore reserves here are less, a medium-sized steel company with an annual output of 200,000 tons of steel

The factory is still supportive enough.

This move made Hamid II happy and gave him ten more coins.

After leaving Istanbul, Emperor Yang arrived in Italy with satisfaction watching the coquettish Ottoman court dance. Here he turned into a devout believer. Accompanied by the King of Italy, he went to the Vatican to meet the Pope. However, he did not stay in Rome for too long.

A week later we set off for Spain.

He was welcomed in Spain as well as in Turkey. Except for the Spanish beauties, there was no shortage of other items. In particular, the naval parade was even grander than that of the Turks, and he was specially arranged to ride on the captive Americans.

The USS Massachusetts battleship was inspected. This battleship has now become a symbol of Spanish glory. From the time it was restored to the present, in addition to visiting foreign countries, it is also receiving distinguished guests. The Americans have lost their face in Europe.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, have you thought about the future? The Americans are building eight battleships, three of which will be commissioned next year, six large armored cruisers, more than a dozen protected cruisers, and the number of destroyers has reached 30 now.

, do you think you will win if there is another Spanish-American War?" After the ship review, Yang Feng took Yuan Shikai, who accompanied him on the trip, and Prime Minister Canovas to start a secret meeting.

This guy's purpose in coming to Europe this time is still to target the United States. He must completely harm this country and not give them any chance to get up.

"Your Majesty, even if the strength is not enough, the Spanish navy and army will defend their territory to the death." Canovas said in a very useless way, and then waited for Yang Feng's next words.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are all smart people, and there is no need to talk nonsense. Spain has important interests in the Caribbean, and I don't like to see the United States become stronger. On this point, we have

The common point is that Germany is developing oil fields in Central America, and they will not welcome a United States returning to the Caribbean. The same is true for the Russians, so why don't we form a military alliance in the Caribbean?

Except for your country, it is impossible for the three of us to devote all our strength to the Americas. Even if your country goes all out, it is impossible to face the redeveloped U.S. Navy alone, but together with our fleet in the Caribbean, it will be enough.

, I will replace my fleet in the Caribbean with two Princess Astrias class armored cruisers and four Soryu class armored cruisers, plus four large destroyers. Germany will maintain two diesel battleships there,

Russia will maintain three steam-powered battleships. Your country currently has three battleships and six armored cruisers, and two armored cruisers will be added in the future. In this case, why don't we nip the trouble in the bud?

For example, your country and the three of us formed a Caribbean military alliance, and then your country asked the United States for the return of Florida, using this as an excuse to launch a war against the United States. Then we jointly participated in the war in accordance with our alliance obligations, and then completely fought back the United States.

." Yang Feng said with a grin.
