While this end of the Pacific Ocean was showing a scene as hot as the other end, a major event occurred in the other end.

The "prosperous president" who launched the Spanish-American War, decisively sucked the Caribbean, began the process of limited expansion in the United States, and implemented the gold standard in the economy to make the US economy prosper. In this year, when attending the Pan American Expo, which was almost his celebration ceremony in Buffalo, died from the anarchist Lyon.

Cozorroz became the fourth victim of the "Twenty Years Curse" in the position of US president after Harrison, Lincoln and Garfield.

In 1901, it was winter.

The one who succeeded to the presidency was a hero in the Spanish-American War, known as the hero of Mount San Juan and was just elected vice president in 1900.

Roosevelt.

This tough-minded president will take over the most powerful country in the Americas in the next few years.

From the prosperity of the internal affairs of the President to the Iron Man, the US foreign policy will undergo more or less changes. Therefore, Zai Ying from the Cabinet Diplomatic Consultative Conference and Wu Tingfang, Secretary of the Foreign Affairs Department, were urgently summoned by me after learning about this important news from the other side of the Pacific. They were urgently assigned a task to rush to the United States to participate in Theodore.

Roosevelt's inauguration.

This is also an important part of establishing a constructive Pacific mutual trust system. The diplomatic relations between China and the United States must heat up to avoid unnecessary conflicts in the development process between the two major powers that have risen simultaneously on both sides of the Pacific. Appropriate respect for a country like the United States that has not yet matched its own strength, will win their favor.

This world is not a chess game. Every politician in every country is manipulating his own ship forward like a blind man crossing the river. In the process of moving towards a better future, responsible politicians will understand that war is just a means to achieve the goal, not the mission given by God to war against other countries. A country with two parts of confidence in a country with very strong strength is worthy of friendship, a country with six parts of strength and nine parts of confidence.

In fact, there has always been no lack of a foundation of friendship between China and the United States. Because the Qing government stood on the right side in the Civil War, although there were some elements of American blackmail, it was in the right team after all.

The high-standard courtesy Li Hongzhang received during his visit to the United States proves that China and the United States can develop friendly relations rather than hostile relations within decades.

After all, the central stage of this world is Europe, not America or Asia. Through the vast Pacific Ocean, territorial ambitions and conflicts of interest can be ignored in the face of the endless ocean. These are two countries that cannot have large-scale wars under the current conditions.

In the future European wars, these two countries will also play an important role in a detached manner.

For both countries, their biggest problem at present is how to do their best to establish their own system of interests within the continent. In this regard, the two countries also have a considerable degree of cooperation.

Based on the communiqués of the two countries reached by Li Hongzhang's trip to the United States in 1899, both sides respect each other's transcendent status on the continent, and on this basis, developing friendly and cooperative trade is the most cost-effective way for both countries.

No stupid politician doesn't like to take a win-win path instead of fighting each other and losing both internal forces.

For a country like the United States, which is not as good as its innate conditions, it is impossible to curb it. Therefore, try to establish an equal friendship with him to survive the decades of common development and common competition. At that time, even if there are any differences, the initiative to resolve the problem will still be in your hands.

This is a strategy of being responsible to the country and nation, and most politicians will be responsible to their country and nation.

At the same time, the person who went to the United States will also be a minister in the cabinet's Ministry of Industry and Commerce. He was a graduate of the Department of Industry and Commerce of Imperial University in 1998. He had a high score and was highly praised by European and American professors. Therefore, Zhang Zhidong directly transferred him to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce as a member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Within two years, he proposed and implemented several plans to stimulate business development, including reducing corporate deposits, proposing bankruptcy protection laws, building commercial facilities tax cuts, etc. He was promoted to the main body two years later. I have also met him twice. Because of the reduction of the level of the royal title of investment in industry and commerce, he also wrote a detailed analysis book, requesting that the original one million taels of silver be obtained to the level of the royal title to one million silver dollars.

After I agreed, I only noticed this person from this incident. This time I sent this person named Zeng Zheng to the United States, and planned to let him stay in the United States for a year or two, focusing on studying the US stock market and establishing his own stock market at the right time.

This method of private financing is much more effective in the revitalization of industry and commerce than the national planned economy that can control everything it takes.

Of course, there are also business tycoons from all over the country, from all walks of life, and even the round trip charter cruise between China and the United States is sponsored by these people.

Wu Tingfang also wants to stay in the United States for a while, build more political stars in the United States, and deal with various political factions more, which will be of great benefit to the future. China has nearly 20,000 international students in the United States, and can also get closer. These people will be pillars of national construction in the future.

Of course, there are naturally people in the regiment who have already been classified as the Military Intelligence Department under the General Staff. It is not easy for Italians to take root in the United States just now, and it is natural to need help.

There are differences between China and the United States. Although the disputes that often break out between the American and overseas Chinese in the Hawaiian territory of the United States are small problems, but when mentioned in diplomatic occasions, it is also a normal move that conforms to each other's national identities.

Naturally, Zaiying couldn't stay in the United States for too long. He had to go to Europe for a walk. Both Britain and Germany needed some comfort, especially the United Kingdom. In the Asia-Pacific region, many places still needed the British to give face. Zaiying has been hiding deeper and deeper in recent years, and his skills are just used to deal with the British.

The German side naturally needs further confirmation. The allocation of four Prussian-class, German versions of dreadnought ships that have been launched from the Volqiang Shipyard in Fujian and the Hamburg Shipyard in Vladivostok, is worth discussing. If it is directly assigned to the German Far East Fleet, then this is neither in the interests of the United Kingdom nor in the interests of China.

If possible, it is better to propose to the Germans that the Pacific Fleet is assigned to Germany and to station on small islands in the Pacific. In this way, the confrontation between the British and German Pacific can involve the British joint fleet in Hong Kong, and on the other hand, they can also take advantage of the two sides' inattention while they are competing for hegemony.

If Zaiying takes advantage of the situation, he can also go to Sweden. The first Nobel Prize for Peace Prize, with our disarmament of 500,000 yuan and the outstanding performance of convening the World Peace Conference, is almost certain. He will also receive this award in a peaceful manner.

This is also an important part of establishing the image of China's peace defender in Europe.

By the way, I still have to visit the little princess. The German Emperor's pearl of his hand should come to China for a walk when he has time. The two young people are in contact with each other, which is good for the future.

When I arranged to play these things, I also thought of the education issues of several princes and princesses. The two older princes will soon go to middle school, and it seems that they can be arranged to study abroad. The second prince is better to go to Germany. The older prince is more suitable to arrange for the United States. His temperament is becoming more and more introverted, and he is also very afraid of me, making it extremely difficult for him to communicate with the whole person. It is not a bad thing for him to stay in the United States for a period of time.

There is still a lot of good news during this period. Zhang Zuolin's wife and Liang Qichao's pregnancy were ten months old and finally gave birth to a son. According to the previous agreement, they gave each of the imperial letters and gave him two unprecedented sets of 100, 50, 100 silver coins and paper money trial cast in the first year of China.

The issuance of paper money was planned, but it was still during the verification period and was not issued to the public. As a commercial bank, Royal Bank has officially left the position of currency issuance and banking and securities supervision, and officially became its commercial bank. The responsibilities of coin issuance and the central bank are all handed over to the Bank of China, which was merged by Baoyuan Bureau and important local minting departments such as Jiangning Prefecture, Dezhou Prefecture, etc., to bear the securities affairs and affairs in the national financial and economic field. In the plan, the Ministry of Economic Affairs will be added, and the person who once tried to return from the United States and then selected manpower to form it, to get rid of the current focus of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the current situation of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which has a function similar to the current situation of a Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

At the same time, the Ministry of Health is also preparing for the establishment. After receiving Sun Yat-sen, I thought about it over and over again. Finally, among the two choices of the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Health, he chose the Ministry of Health. His actual ability to do business is far lower than his ideological ability. Therefore, in the Ministry of Health, he asked him to be a practically responsible Shangshu Tongzhi, and Zai Ying also served as Shangshu. After a group of young medical administrative talents grow in China, he will make personnel adjustments or directly throw the candidate issue to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

As for the Ministry of Railways, of course there is no other candidate. Zhan Tianyou, general manager of China Railway Company, who has been very popular in recent years, will take up this position.

What needs to be improved this year is the issue of the candidates of the Ministry of Education. Yung Wing is old and is responsible for specific affairs, he will probably lose his life. Moreover, his talents under him are growing very quickly, so he was given the title of Earl and the position of Director of National Education, which directly made him take on the responsibility. Of course, the matters that were directly handled were handed over to the younger generation.

Throughout the late summer and early autumn, my mind was focused on personnel adjustments and diplomatic affairs. Yuan Shikai, on the Nanyang side, really understood what I meant and presented a new Nanyang work plan, temporarily slowing down. On the one hand, he instigated the confrontation between England and Germany through civil means, and on the other hand, he began to differentiate the leadership class of Kaptinan.

I have no good plans for this. Southeast Asia China has no foundation, and it is already good to achieve the current results. With the incorporation of the Southern Philippines into the Commonwealth, if you want to do anything in this system, I am afraid that I will have to wait until the end of World War I.

Even so, Yuan Shikai was awarded a certain degree of commendation, and he was added to the Imperial Lifan Academy and the system of vassals.

As autumn begins, the weather begins to cool down. The Mulan autumn fence, which has recovered from this year, has a different meaning from the previous autumn hunting, but has become a military exercise of the Royal Army. The navy also responds to this momentum, and all major fleets have held exercises of different meanings.

The Northeast Asian Fleet was officially renamed the East China Sea Fleet and will hold a naval deterrence exercise with the imaginary goal of mediating the conflict at the Hi-Sky sea. The fleet will continue to conduct a maritime deterrence exercise between Tokyo Bay and Osumi Strait within a month. The exercise was invited to participate in the exercise to show the so-called harmony of the vassal state.

The Pacific Fleet, with Kaohsiung as the core and Ryukyu's invasion of foreign enemies as the imaginary background, held a combat exercise for the Pacific Fleet to rescue the vassal states. This will be the first live-fire exercise for the Pacific Fleet after demarcating the new defense zone, and it is also a guarantee of confidence in the vassal states.

The local fleet, with the background of combating pirates and protecting trade routes, demonstrates China's good desire for peaceful development.

The most outstanding thing is naturally the Royal Army live-fire exercise held around Mulan Eidground. All the elite troops from the Gyeonggi Garrison were dispatched, with the First Army against the Third Army. The 70,000 troops on both sides will show their ability and determination to defend Beijing and the emperor during the ten-day exercise.

Of course, the troops on the Honsou Island in Japan were not idle. When Matsuhira Shino was desperate, the troops of the two divisions attacked from Toyama to the east, targeting Nagano, a major city in northern Japan, and confronted the Japanese Fourth Division on the mountain line between the Kuroebu and Naoezu, and continued to have a low-intensity confrontation.

To my surprise, neither Tianhai nor Japan reported to me nor requested mediation. It seems that both sides urgently need to slap their attention in ease.

The entire Northeast Asia is not idle, and all provinces across the country have fully completed military reform work, so autumn is the season for national military training. From the foot of the Jugjur Mountain in the northern border to the Luzon province in the southern border, from the Guam Garage Army in the easternmost to the Ili garrison in the westernmost, the provinces across the country have held military exercises of varying scales, and the national military training officially kicked off.

The first thing to decide the outcome was the military confrontation between the First Army and the Third Army. In the live-fire exercise I personally presided over the Third Army in terms of commander quality, individual soldier quality, and technical and tactics. Although the equipment and number of troops of both sides were almost the same, the Third Army fell behind the opponent in terms of military quality, combat experience, as well as military traditions.

The quality of generals and officials on both sides is also very different. Almost all the commanders of the First Army are famous generals, while the Third Army has a lot of former Manchu governors who have been commanders based on their origins, which also gave me the excuse to clean up the incompetent generals. The commanders of the Third Army have changed a lot, and a large number of young and powerful officers who have been slowly promoted in recent years have gradually gained real power.

According to the rules set in advance, the defeated side withdraws from Beijing to replace the winner, while the winner is exempt from participating in the confrontation in the next year. In this way, the first, second and third guards take turns to station in Beijing every two years.

These three armies are the fundamental guarantee for the security of my capital, so the personnel and affairs are also the three most tightly controlled troops.

At the end of November, the two sides of the battle finally carried out the first large-scale joint battle. The two sides mobilized a total force of more than 10,000 people and carried out a brigade-level battle. A gang of the First Zero-1 Town carried out repeated tug-of-war with Omachi, the first and second wings of the opponent, who was responsible for the first and second wings of the opponent, and the two Japanese infantry gangs, for more than 7,000 people, carried out a continuous saturation attack on the 4,500 defense line of their own for more than two hours, and paid nearly one-third of the casualties before the attack ended. After calculating the strength of the two sides, Gu Lie, the Hunan-born association commander, took advantage of the opponent's failure to return, launched a cover-up attack. With less than 4,000 counterparts, he caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the opponent and successfully conquered Omachi. More than 2,000 Japanese troops were stationed in remnants, deployed defenses in the area of ​​Baima Village, and quickly obtained the support of a brigade of the opponent.

Under such circumstances, Gu Lie calmly led his troops to withdraw from the defense line and waited for the enemy's next attack. For him, this war had no meaning except cultivating murderous aura.

Fortunately, I will be able to return to China next year. This place is just a place for rotation. There is no need to fight to the death for other people's land.

This is also the common idea of ​​the officers and soldiers in Tianhai, 101 and 102.

Therefore, the rotation order came in time. In December, the Army Department, which was split from the military department, issued an order to withdraw the first and second towns of the 101 and 102, and Tianhai affairs were responsible for the 201 and 202 towns that had just returned from Germany to Weiying Prefecture this year.

The pattern of rotation battles has officially begun, and this pattern will last for more than ten years.

For those two countries, if the military state of Tianhai Kingdom leaves my help, they will be quickly driven out of the sea by the Great Japanese royal army commanded by the Minister of the Army of Nogius. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the situation in Japan, they must support him.

The split of the military headquarters also began the prelude to the major reshuffle of the central departments.

Four departments were split from the military department. The Military Service Department was in charge of recruitment. The Weapons Department was responsible for the research and development, bidding, and military equipment guarantee at the national level of national defense and weapons. The Navy Department remained the same, and the Army Department was fully responsible for the training and operations of the Army's military forces, including militias.

These four departments, in conjunction with the original logistics department and the newly established General Staff Department this year, constitute a central-level power structure for military forces.

The military department is not included in the cabinet management, so all the candidates are selected by me and Prince Chun, the minister of the king who is in charge of land and naval affairs.

The central departments have gradually begun to subdivided, gradually expanding from the earliest six departments, and gradually forming a modern administrative management system. The new departments will gradually meet the public next year. With the development of various industries, the administrative system naturally needs to be expanded and a service rather than dominant administrative system is established. With the expansion of the administrative system, the original office locations will become increasingly crowded. Therefore, while barely saving the use of the Congress Hall, they also began to build new government office areas in a few south locations.

All military institutions were moved to work in the north of the city.

By the end of the year, after I sent an envoy to reconcile the conflict between Tian Ri, the two sides signed a one-year ceasefire agreement. This also gave the new troops time to adapt to the environment and prepare for combat.

On December 10, Sweden, Zai Ying, on behalf of the Emperor of the Chinese Empire, received the Nobel Peace Prize. He also received the prize with him, a descendant of Dunant from Switzerland. He founded the International Red Cross in 1864, and the Frenchman Pashi, who founded the French International Arbitration Association, which is now almost useless.

The Physics Prize was awarded to Rongen, Germany. He discovered that X-ray was the winner of the Chemistry Prize, Van Toffer of the Netherlands. He proposed the laws of chemical kinetics and osmotic pressure. The Physiology Prize is crucial to the future war. With its great contribution to serum therapy, the German Belling took away the award. As for the Literature Prize, this is basically unrelated to the Chinese, and the French poet Pludom received the prize.

The news of this award has been widely promoted by the Ministry of Education and Chemical Industry, and has allowed people in the country who are determined to make a strong country to see a specific direction. Making certain breakthroughs in these scientific categories has also become the dream of many people. It was this year that China's scientific system was officially established.

In line with this situation, I have also begun to plan to establish the National Academy of Sciences to gather scientific research talents and lay the foundation for a scientific system that is elite first and then popular.

Before this, Zaiying also attended the inauguration ceremony of President Roosevelt of the United States and presented a royal gift - a black bear caught from Heilongjiang, which was given to President Roosevelt, who loved bears the most in his life as a symbol of Sino-US friendship.

This bear-loving president, nicknamed teddy, later left a fortune for the United States, which is the Teddy Bear that was popular all over the world in later generations.

But he is far less cute than the teddy bear. In his oval office, the portrait of President Monroe is hung high. He is still a loyal believer of Monroeism and has not yet had the experience of successfully mediating the Russo-Japanese War in later generations. Therefore, his bear eyes are still staring on the map of America. Behind this bright gaze is a huge pressure on other countries in the Americas.

Regarding the friendship from the other side of the ocean, President Roosevelt naturally expressed a friendly attitude, and reiterated the US's position of "selling gold lairs - Li Hongzhang Declaration", and expressed optimism for the future huge cooperation prospects of China and the United States in the construction, mining, finance and agriculture.

This is the first impression this President Roosevelt gave me, and it looks pretty good.
Chapter completed!
