Expedition to Europe

It was the end of March when Qin Zhiyuan boarded the "France" again to go to the Republic of China. If it was according to the planned schedule, Qin Zhiyuan should have ended his visit to the Republic of China, and then went to Japan to pick up Emperor Taisho to go to Europe together.

Because Misha was in danger, Qin Zhiyuan was delayed in Yingzhou for a week.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't care about this. Although there was a delay in time, after this setback, Qin Zhiyuan finally confirmed his feelings with Misha, which was more important for both Qin Zhiyuan and Misha.

In fact, on the day when Qin Zhiyuan was attacked, Yingzhou informed the Republic of China of the situation. The Republic of China expressed understanding and condolences to Qin Zhiyuan.

This is all routine, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care. The fact is that the Republic of China needs Lan Fang, and it is normal for Qin Zhiyuan to be arrogant.

What's more, being attacked is not an act of arrogance.

Yingzhou is not far from Tianjin. The "France" maintains this cruising speed and arrives in Tianjin in just one night.

When the sky was bright, the "France" had arrived at Tianjin Outer Port.

Qin Zhiyuan visited the Republic of China. This was Qin Zhiyuan's first visit after he ascended the throne. It was also the first visit by the head of a powerful country to the Republic of China. The Republic of China attached great importance to it.

It sounds a bit incredible. Lan Fang was established for only more than a year, but it was already one of the most powerful countries in the world. This speed of rise was really unheard of.

Tianjin Port at this time was completely different from the last time it welcomed the foreign legion. The whole Tianjin Wei was decorated with lights and colorful tents on the roadside. The flags of Lan Fang and the Republic of China were all hung at the door of the roadside shops. The port was even more crowded. All the prominent figures in the Beiyang government were present, led by the President of the Republic of China Xu Shichang and the Prime Minister Qin Yunpeng.

Qin Yunpeng!

Yes, the one who followed Nivelle to participate in the spring offensive during the World War and suffered a crushing defeat.

After Qin Yunpeng returned to the Republic of China, he first served as the governor of Sichuan. After Xu Shichang became president, Qin Yunpeng returned to Beijing to serve as the chief of the army. He also succeeded Gong Xinzhan, who resigned, as the prime minister last year.

Qin Yunpeng's position as the prime minister sounds high-sounding, but in fact, he is a rat in a wooden box and suffers from both sides.

Qin Yunpeng was originally a direct descendant of Duan Zhiquan, but was promoted by Xu Shichang, which was considered to be a favor from Xu Shichang.

Although Duan Zhiquan is now off the stage, he has been planning to make a comeback. As the prime minister, Qin Yunpeng has to make suggestions for Xu Shichang on the one hand, and deal with Duan Zhiquan's criticism and blame on the other hand.

It's all tears to talk about it. It is estimated that Qin Yunpeng now misses the days when he was the governor of Sichuan. When he was in Sichuan, it was indeed annoying, but at least he didn't suffer from it.

Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng arrived in Tianjin Wei last night just to welcome Qin Zhiyuan.

From eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng waited for the "France" to dock at the dock, but until nine o'clock in the morning, the "France" was still silent.

If Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng knew what Qin Zhiyuan was doing, they would probably vomit blood.

While Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng were waiting at the dock, Qin Zhiyuan was changing Qin De's diaper.

Although Qin Zhiyuan had a palace on the "France", it was not as comfortable as on shore. Adults could still endure the cold and dampness on the ship, but children could not.

Although the heating in Qin Zhiyuan's suite was sufficient, Qin De still caught a cold and cried and made a fuss for half a night, and Qin Zhiyuan and Julie were also tossed for half a night.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Leave this to me. Go to the bridge quickly. It's already nine o'clock. It's not good to keep the president and the prime minister waiting." Julie was still sensible. Although her eyes were a little dark and her expression was a little haggard, she urged Qin Zhiyuan to do business first.

"Don't worry, let them wait. Think about how we treated the foreign legion last time. It's worth it to let them wait a little longer." Qin Zhiyuan responded with his hands busy.

To be honest, after two lives and being a father for more than half a year, it was the first time for Qin De to change his diaper. Qin Zhiyuan still cherished the opportunity to have close contact with his son.

"It's been so long. Do you still plan to hate them for the rest of your life?" Julie felt a little funny.

"Not for a lifetime, but I just want them to know that there is no free lunch in this world." Qin Zhiyuan quickened his movements and finally changed before Qin De cried.

"Let's go, let's go..." Julie came over and hugged Qin De and left. She also wanted to go to the dock with Qin Zhiyuan.

Misha was waiting at the door, holding a camouflage cape in her hand, and wrapped Qin De from head to toe, successfully winning Julie's thanks.

Camouflage is also an important feature of the Lan Fang army. At present, Lan Fang's Marine Corps and the Royal First Brigade all use camouflage fabrics as representative colors, and many of Qin De's clothes are camouflage colors.

At nine o'clock, the huge body of the "France" finally entered Tianjin Port.

At this time, Tianjin Port was far less perfect than in later generations. A big guy like the "France" could not dock at all. Qin Zhiyuan had to transfer to a destroyer first, and then docked at the dock under the guidance of a guide ship.

When the gangway was put on the shore, the salutes were fired and the cheers were thunderous. Qin Zhiyuan finally ushered in the moment of returning home in glory.

If there hadn't been that accident, the moment in front of him should have happened two years ago.

It's only two years, and the time has passed, and the world has changed. It really makes people feel countless emotions for nothing.

"Your Majesty, welcome back to the Republic of China." Xu Shichang's words must have been carefully considered.

"Thank you, I'm glad I have the opportunity to come back." Qin Zhiyuan said it casually, without much hidden meaning.

"Your Majesty, after parting in Europe, your Majesty is still as elegant as ever, which is really gratifying." Qin Yunpeng smiled brightly, and if you don't look closely, you can't see the bitterness behind the smile.

"General Qin, how are you?" Qin Zhiyuan was still calm and composed.

At Qin Zhiyuan's position, he no longer needed to be vague when speaking and doing things, just say what he wants to say. Compared with the national strength of Lan Fang and the Republic of China, if Qin Zhiyuan wanted to say something nice, everyone would be happy. If Qin Zhiyuan was unhappy and said something unpleasant, Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng would only listen.

Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan and Xu Shichang both remembered their old friendship and did not have much extended meaning, so this time the communication was normal.

The original text can be read in Liu # 9 @shu/bar!

While Qin Zhiyuan was talking to Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng, Zhu Li also stepped down the gangway with Qin De in her arms.

Children always play a special role in the Chinese social circle.

Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng immediately shifted their attention to Qin De, talking endlessly about "a dragon among men, a genius", but were a little cold to Zhu Li.

This is normal. The communication between Chinese people is between men and men, and women are between women. There is a clear distinction between the two and there can be no ambiguity.

If Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng were to be very close to Zhu Li after seeing her, it would be very rude.

There was no need for Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng to be attentive. Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng knew that Zhu Li would accompany Qin Zhiyuan to visit the Republic of China, so they came with their wives, and considering Misha's status, they needed Shichang and Qin Yunpeng to bring two wives, but now only one appeared, which was also thoughtful.

With Lan Fang's current strength, it can be said that if Qin Zhiyuan sneezes, the whole of East Asia will catch a cold. Everything about Qin Zhiyuan is naturally the focus of attention of the whole of East Asia.

In fact, East Asia is so small, and communication is so convenient now. What happened in Yingzhou in the morning can be spread to the capital of the Republic of China at noon.

Although Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng don't know how far the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Misha has progressed, it is always a fact that Qin Zhiyuan has carried out an unprecedented "purge" in Yingzhou for Misha, which is enough to prove the status of Misha in Qin Zhiyuan's heart. Even if it is not as good as Julie, it is probably not much worse.

Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng are both smart people who can make a name for themselves in the Chinese world and become the heads of the Beiyang government. Perhaps their vision is not as long-term as Qin Zhiyuan, but their tactfulness in dealing with people is much better than Qin Zhiyuan. It is not a big deal to bring another wife, but it would be too embarrassing if they don't take good care of her.

Face is often more important than life in the Chinese world.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in just a reception. Seeing Xu Shichang and Qin Yunpeng's wife talking happily with Zhu Li, he happily shook hands with other Beiyang government officials who came to greet them.

There were really many people coming, Duan Zhiquan, Zhang Yuting, Wang Yitang, Xu Shuzheng, Duan Zhigui, etc. Almost every one of them was a famous figure in the modern history of the Republic of China. Today's Tianjin Wharf is almost a condensed modern history of the Republic of China.

Qin Zhiyuan didn't feel much fear in his heart for so many historical figures standing in front of him. Instead, he saw fear in the eyes of many "big people", which was a brand new experience.

The welcoming ceremony at the wharf did not last long, because of the accident that happened in Yingzhou, and it was estimated that everyone was a little scared. In less than half an hour, Qin Zhiyuan got into the car and drove straight from Tianjin to the capital.

There was no need to worry about security this time, because of the previous experience of Yingzhou, Xu Shichang ordered the road to be closed early, and Zhang Yuting mobilized two divisions to patrol along the way. From Tianjin to Beijing, there were no pedestrians on the road, not even an ant, and it was so empty that it made people panic.

There were still accidents. Not long after leaving Tianjin, the speed of the convoy slowed down again.

Before Qin Zhiyuan could react, Dong Xingxiu, who was sitting in the front row, had already taken out his gun and loaded the bullet.

"What's going on?" Qin Zhiyuan was a little worried. When will this end? Will he have to stay in Penglai Island and not go out in the future?

"Your Majesty, President Xu's car broke down." Gao Hongshi came over quickly and gave a reason that made Qin Zhiyuan laugh and cry.

The car the president was sitting in could break down...

Tsk!
