Chapter 533 Marriage

In the morning.

When the first ray of morning light rises from the sea, the beautiful Mediterranean also wakes up. The golden sun spreads on the sea, and there is even a charm that makes people want to devote themselves to it.

On the beautiful and white Oriental Princess, several naughty children with beautiful brown hair ran and played on the wide deck. Looking at their innocent and bright smiles, every adults who had just come out to breathe smiled, and then walked to the left deck one after another, looking at the faint horizon, all of which were long and loose. A breath of breath.

In the distance, it is already snowing heavily. Originally, it should be the most beautiful season in Vienna. Under the eaves, the treetops will be covered with ice, reflecting colorful and brilliant colors under the sun, which is more charming than diamonds.

But now there is nothing.

The explosion broke the ice, and the smoke filled the home. The relatives were forced to carry their guns to the battlefield. The old people sat at home, worried about their daily livelihoods, and silently waited for the news of death one by one.

This is a war, a cruel killing that has swept the whole of Europe. No one really understands why he came suddenly because Germany wants to fight for that sunshine? Or the shameless assassination of the Serbs?

They don't understand that as ordinary people, they prefer to live a stable life rather than be forced into endless wars.

Standing on the highest bridge, looking at the foreigners on the deck, which is already famous all over the world, Sang Hanmin, the second captain of the royal cruise ship who traveled around the world with the emperor, smiled brilliantly.

Like his predecessor, he is not a pure Chinese. His mother is a native of Singapore, and his father worked as a boatman in Singapore in his early years. Because of this experience, he had the opportunity to come into contact with navigation and practiced navigation skills. His father named him Hanmin, and he also hoped that he would remember the ideas of his ancestors.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he went to Luzon with many young people, and then returned to China by ship from there, and became a captain of the new investment ship company registered in Hong Kong.

The booming domestic shipping industry in the past two decades has given him the opportunity to show his skills. The investment ship, which has been popular for a period of time but has been quickly silent in the past, has also been rejuvenated. It not only has more than 30 ocean-going ships, but also has a total tonnage of more than one million tons.

At this moment, he was suddenly recommended to serve as the captain of the royal cruise ship together with the excellent captains selected by several other major shipping companies. He never thought that he would one day become the royal captain of the royal family, because in his opinion, the emperor should select talents from the navy, so when he received the official entry letter and saw the emperor pick up. When I passed the key representing the Princess, I almost cried out without excitement.

Later, he learned that his predecessor was not a soldier, but an experienced Honolulu old sea wolf, and now he was sent to lead a bigger and better Royal Ocean.

As a royal captain, it may not be very busy in the eyes of outsiders, because the royal family does not have much time to use the ship, but in fact it is not the case. Except for several imperial concubines who often go to Honolulu, Kamchatka Peninsula or Ogasawara Islands for vacation, the emperor also uses it several times a year to visit various places in the sea. Walk into the people's homes to experience the people's feelings.

In addition to the use of the royal family, when there is no mission, the two cruise ships become special personnel transport ships of the navy and the political axe, and sometimes participate in disaster relief emergencies. Of course, the political axe and the army will also pay for the use, and this money becomes an extra prize for the maintenance of ships and crew at ordinary times. Kim, so I run on the sea for eight or nine months in a year.

Since the outbreak of the European war, the two cruise ships have a new mission, that is, to form two Asia-Europe transport fleets with several other large cruise ships. The only task is to go to the warring countries. From the Xinhua recruitment stations all over Europe, they want to avoid the war and leave Europe and have a skill. Home, teachers and scholars are shipped back safely.

The reason why two royal cruise ships were chosen to lead is that these two ships are now famous all over the world. No matter how lively the Europeans are, they must consider the consequences of sinking the Imperial Royal Cruises!

It has only been half a year since the start of the war. The two fleets have transported more than 10,000 people with technology and knowledge to China, and are urgently needed in China and their families. The total number of transporters has reached 50,000.

Among them, Austria-Hungary and Russia are the most. Originally, Austria-Hungarian Empire was still disgusted with the emperor's recruitment of their technical talents on such a large scale, but later, on the condition that the empire provided a loan of 300 million blue coins, they agreed to the conditions for the appropriate recruitment of non-important scholars.

Of course, 300 million people can't just replace the literati. The recruitment station set up in Vienna brought a large number of front-line experts and scholars through bribery and other means. Therefore, after the last time the emperor went back to receive those scientists, he also used a sentence that was too cheap to describe the harvest.

It's not cheap. Sang Hanmin doesn't know. He only knows that he wants to build a warship that is more powerful than the navy's Hebei class. If he wants to make the country's industry more developed, these people are indispensable.

As for Russia, although there are many recruits, Tsar Nicholas II does not seem to care about the departure of scientists in batches. Instead, he has a careless request, as long as the recruitment station pays higher taxes.

"I guess I'm going to have no money in the war." Sang Hanmin sneered in his heart. He can't be blamed. 2.5 million people died in five months. Even Xinhua can't afford such a big price!

Originally, the recruitment station wanted to recruit technical talents from Britain, France, Germany and other countries, but they were strictly managed, so they could only sneak some out, accounting for only a small part of the total number of people.

It seems that there are a large number of 15,000 experts, but in fact, they only account for half of the talents who leave Europe. More people still choose to go to the United States, and if they do not provide free shipping to help find a suitable job in China, and can provide free housing and three months of living expenses, it is estimated that the number will be more Less.

Fortunately, now, under the leadership of the emperor, the country is not so closed and hates foreigners, and the political axes and police in various places will not regard foreigners as guests. Therefore, not only many factories have foreigners who work like everyone, but also many foreign teachers in schools, and even foreigners have specially contracted the emperor. Planting.

The emperor also strictly ordered to change the previous attitude of the Qing Dynasty towards foreigners, and only provided better treatment at the beginning of the introduction. After that, they were the same as ordinary citizens. If they had the ability, they would come out. If they did not have the ability, they would be frustrated. If anyone dared to commit a crime, they would also follow the photo and kill them.

Today's four ships have another 5,000 people, including more than ten important scientists, more than one thousand technicians and scholars, and the rest are their families. They will also receive a year's temporary certificate after arriving in China like their previous partners. After that, you can freely choose to continue to be a temporary citizen or become a New China citizen.

Originally, many people did not understand why foreigners were naturalized, but as more and more people read, the emperor's phrase "a great country must have great magnitude" has also begun to be recognized by everyone. At least prejudices are rarely seen in cities all over the world.

Sang Hanmin looked at his watch. It took about 20 days to return to Shanghai from here. He had to be on the boat for such a long time. It was boring and monotonous. So as soon as he was about to go to the kitchen below and order more dishes suitable for other people's appetite, he was pulled by the second pair.

"Captain, two British cruisers are chasing from behind!"

"Chase us?!" Sang Hanmin's heart jumped and immediately ran to the highest place. He only saw two British cruisers rushing in the distance behind him, and the flag of inspection was constantly printed on the mast.

This made him very puzzled. You know, in order to ensure safety, the emperor let himself strictly abide by the orders of the Allies, so there were no other weapons on the ship except guns for self-defense, just for fear of being made difficult.

"Maybe they are both British recruits on both warships and don't know their own Princess?"

But soon this fantasy was broken by the column of water raised in front of him. The roar of cannons tore through the dawn of the Mediterranean Sea, and everyone's faces changed, especially the Allied people on several ships, who were particularly resentful of the interception of British cruisers!

A moment later, a large number of crew members boarded the deck with rifles. While evacuating the crowd to let everyone return to the cabin to rest in peace, they began to prepare for the British boarding.

At the same time, an emergency wave has rushed out of the void--

The convoy slowly drove through the beautiful oasis of Riyadh. From time to time, soldiers in robes could be seen along the way, which made Liu Jinpeng laugh secretly, especially when he saw the heavily guarded Masmat Castle.

It can be seen that the shot warned by the emperor had scared Ibn Saud, so the castle was full of soldiers inside and outside, and even the roads along the street were full of people.

Liu Jinpeng took a deep breath and pretended to be full of worries. While having people move the goods from the truck behind him, he informed the guard.

After seeing Liu Jinpeng, the guards immediately turned around to report, because this big businessman of the Xinhua Empire was not the first time to come here. He not only invested in the oil field here, but also bought almost half of the land as big as Neishi. He was one of the largest financial aid funders of Mr. Emile, and even the power plant was also invested by him. Let the people here enjoy the night for the first time.

After a while, Liu Jinpeng finally saw Ibn Saud, who was wearing a robe and wrapped in thick gauze on his thighs. After greeting him with Islamic etiquette, he clapped his hands and asked his men to bring the gift.

"Dear Emil, I heard that you were despicablely assassinated, so I specially purchased these for you. I hope it can protect your safety."

When the box was opened, it was a ten decomposed French Harchkis heavy machine gun. This powerful weapon made Ibn Saud's eyes brighten up and immediately smiled and said, "Liu, you are so polite. How can I thank you?"

"Your Excellency Emil, you are so polite. For your safety, it's just a little bit." Liu Jinpeng waved his hand with a smile, and his eyes deliberately swept around.

His action made Ibn Saud know that he had something to say. He immediately waved off the maid, leaving only two confidant bodyguards before saying, "Liu, do you have anything to say?"

"Dear Emir, His Majesty the Emperor of our country knew that you were injured, so he specially asked me to bring his handwritten condolence letter, and also asked me to bring some medicine, hoping that you can recover as soon as possible." Liu Jinpeng took out a box of medicine and handed over a check of two million blue coins.

"Your Majesty Li Mo?!" Ibn Saud has been doubting whether the previous attack was done by the new Chinese, so after hearing Liu Jinpeng's words, he immediately sat up straight and his eyes were full of worries.

There is no need to say more about some things. These drugs and checks show that His Majesty the emperor does not want to die, so he sent someone to warn himself that the shot on his thigh is just a scratched skin, otherwise I'm afraid that ten Saudis will die.

But why on earth did he do this? And this can arm tens of thousands of troops with checks!

"Your Majesty heard that I was coming, so let me convey his greetings."

"In addition, he said that he would not intervene in the dispute over the peninsula. He respected your rule here, because he thought you were a good emir and a beloved emir, so he also asked me to assure you that if anyone tried to interfere with you to unify the peninsula, he would do his best to help you!"

"Is this true?"

This promise brightens Ibn Saud. Who is Li Mo? That is the great emperor who can change the world. Even Britain has to listen carefully. If he is really willing to help himself, then unifying the peninsula is not a problem at all.

But when he thought of the injury on his foot, he hesitated.

"Dear Emir, Your Majesty knows that you don't like the Ottomans, but at this moment he feels that you should be more neutral. Of course, he will not let Osman invade Neji. If they dare to do that, our army in Greater Kuwait will fight side by side with you!"

"This is a formal promise!"

"In addition, Your Majesty heard that your little princess is fifteen years old this year and very beautiful and intelligent, so let me ask you if there is any possibility for the princess to go to Xinhua to study? He can send the princess to the school where His Royal Highness the Second Prince is studying.

"Ha ha, the second prince of our country has not been married yet." Liu Jinpeng blinked his eyes, but his words made Ibn Saud's heart beat uncontrollably.

Marriage!

No one knows the role of marriage better than this Emir. In order to consolidate his regime, he has married more than a dozen daughters of large and small chiefs to strengthen his rule. If his daughter can marry the emperor of the world's largest country as his daughter-in-law, then a bullet on his thigh is nothing!

Paris has fallen, and the prospects of Britain and France are not good. If Germany finally wins, then Osman will certainly strengthen a lot. This is also the key to why he wants to help Britain, but if Li Mo is willing to help himself, what else is he worried about?

"Yes, Dear Mr. Emir, in order to ensure the safety of Neji, we will soon send more soldiers to Greater Kuwait. In order to avoid misunderstandings, Your Majesty hopes to borrow Manama as a temporary stop."

"What!"
