…

This week, Xiang Xiaoqiang spent a lot of time with Xiuxiu, her mother and brother. He didn't want the old man to return to that small town again, teach in a wheelchair, and tie Ye Ziyu, a good young man, to his mother.

He is bound to that small town. Xiang Xiaoqiang is so short of manpower around him now, especially people who are 100% loyal to him. Xiang Xiaoqiang came to this time and space "naked" by himself, without any relatives or friends. These "foreign relatives"

He is his most reliable person.

He now understood why the previous monarchs always liked to reuse their relatives and eunuchs. When a monarch first gained power and before his own wings were full, his relatives and eunuchs were the most loyal and reliable people, and they were the best people to assist him and check and balance his foreign ministers.

The same is true for Xiang Xiaoqiang now. He is not a law-abiding minister, but a fledgling careerist. For him at present, the ability of his subordinates is not the decisive factor, but the decisive factor is loyalty, which is heart-to-heart loyalty.

Qiu Qiu was pitiful. For a whole week, Xiang Xiaoqiang slept in Xiu Xiu's room every night. She stayed in the empty room for a week just after she got married. But Qiu Qiu was not jealous at all. She also sympathized with Xiu Xiu. Qiu Qiu knew

This is Xiang Xiaoqiang trying to comfort Xiu Xiu, because Xiu Xiu will be at home alone for nearly two months. Qiu Qiu has been very kind to Xiu Xiu this week. She doesn't want time to pass too fast.

, then she would be separated from Xiuxiu for a long time; she was also looking forward to this week passing quickly, and she could go to Europe on a luxury cruise with her husband for her honeymoon, and have her husband alone for two months...

After Xiang Xiaoqiang arranged all the affairs, he summoned all his confidants to his home on the night of the 21st. They all had a dinner and a drink. Xiang Xiaoqiang’s drink was very exciting. After everyone was drunk, Qiu Qiu and Xiu

Xiu Xiu hugged his head and cried, Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged his head and cried with several of his subordinates. After Shi Shigege and Xiu Xiu got drunk, they sat together hugging each other. They both cried and apologized to each other, saying that they had always admired each other.

…

Anyway, the sensational effect was much better than Xiang Xiaoqiang expected. Especially for Shi Shigege and Xiuxiu, whether it was true or half-truth, anyway, they hugged each other and cried after drinking, and the two of them got along much better in the future.

…

At 7:30 in the morning on the 22nd, Xiang Xiaoqiang, Qiu Qiu, and Xiu Xiu drove to Xianlin Airport. At 8 o'clock, Zhu Yourong's motorcade arrived.

It's time to say goodbye to Xiuxiu.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Xiu Xiu hugged each other fiercely and kissed each other goodbye. Xiu Xiu burst into tears and burst into tears.

"Xiuxiu," Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but his eyes were red and he was about to cry, "I'm sorry for you, my husband, we have to part ways as newlyweds... Take good care of your family for your husband! Take good care of the People's Guards for your husband! ... Take care of me.

Good to your mother and brother!"

Xiuxiu sobbed tremblingly and nodded vigorously:

"Sir...don't worry, sir...I know everything...you don't have to worry about me! I take care of your family and the People's Guard!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't say anything else, he held Xiuxiu tightly in his arms, letting her cry heartily in his arms, while he looked at the sky with tears in his eyes.

After a long hug, Xiu Xiu hugged Qiu Qiu again and cried. Xiu Xiu cried:

"Qiu Qiu... In the past two months, I have relied on you to take care of me... You must take good care of me... Serve me... serve me well..."

Qiu Qiu also hugged Xiuxiu and cried:

"Xiuxiu, be good at home... take care of yourself... take care of your adult career... I know you can't go this time, it's only me... I owe you..."

After saying goodbye, Xiu Xiu waved her hands in tears and watched Xiang Xiaoqiang and Qiu Qiu board the plane.

…

Zhu Yourong's fleet consisted of three Junkers-52s and was escorted by 15 Kingfisher fighter jets. The fleet roared off from the airport one after another, circling in formation above, and then flew south to Guangzhou.

Xiang Xiaoqiang, Qiu Qiu and his wife were on the same plane as Zhu Yourong, while Alfred Krupp was on another plane.

Apart from the last time he was awarded a medal, this was the first time that Qiu Qiu had been in such close contact with the Queen. He was so nervous that he sat carefully next to Xiang Xiaoqiang, not even daring to move and look. Zhu Yourong was very interested in Qiu Qiu.

, always staring at her with a smile. The more she looked at Qiu Qiu, the more nervous she became, and the more interesting Zhu Yourong felt. She kept looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang teasingly, meaning that you are very discerning and the wife you married is quite good!

Finally, the sweat on Qiu Qiu's head stopped, and Zhu Yourong ended this "eyeball game", simply sat next to Qiu Qiu, and took the initiative to chat with her.

Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered that Zhu Yourong liked to play this kind of "eyeball game". When he first entered the Changping Marquis Mansion and met Zhu Yourong face to face for the first time, Zhu Yourong played this trick with him, but he didn't eat that one at the time.

Just set it up.

Zhu Yourong was very good at relieving tension. She started by talking about the "Junkers 52" plane she was riding on, and asked Qiu Qiu with great interest the story of how she had defrauded the plane to escape at Pukou Airport, and how she found the shell in the plane.

The first word.

Qiu Qiu was very nervous at first, but then she gradually got into the mood and realized that Zhu Yourong was just a curious girl of the same age, and she started talking and laughing.

While having lunch on the plane, Zhu Yourong gathered Xiang Xiaoqiang and several of his entourages (actually all experts), and while everyone ate, they reviewed the general objectives of the trip.

First, get as much technology, talent, and production lines from Germany as possible. This is the only thing Germany can do for the Ming Dynasty. For example, German aviation technology, such as the Messerschmitt fighter, and chemical technology, such as the Ming Dynasty, are in urgent need of

Coal-to-oil technology, etc. There are also talent introductions, a large number of experts, consultants dispatched, etc.

Second, the cooperation should be limited to economic and technical aspects as much as possible, and should not be tied to Germany. We can make more long-term, empty promises to Germany. Because Xiang Xiaoqiang told Zhu Yourong that Hitler will play with fire frequently, and he will surely die within ten years.

It was wiped out. In view of Germany's performance, Zhu Yourong could easily believe it.

Because of this, Zhu's policy for the two of them was: whatever they take from Germany should be as affordable as possible, something that can benefit them immediately, and something that can actually help the Ming Dynasty resist the Manchus. He himself

What was given to Germany, or what Germany needed, were commitments, statements, secret alliances, and moral support.

Since Hitler had always believed that there would be no war before 1946, Xiang Xiaoqiang planned to generously make some secret agreements with him that would be fulfilled after 1946. For example, after 46 years, if a war breaks out in the Slavic countries in the east of Germany, and a war breaks out with the Soviet Union, the Ming Dynasty will

Immediately declare war on the Soviet Union... If there is a war between Germany and democratic countries such as Britain and France after 46 years, Ming Dynasty will also immediately declare war on them, attack their colonies in the Far East, attack their military presence, etc.

Also, 46 ​​years later, after the Third Reich's "z" shipbuilding plan is completed, the Ming Empire will generously provide it with three to five ports as bases for the German fleet in the Far East, with a lease period of at least 50 years...

As for why it needs to be after 46 years? Because the Ming Dynasty will not be ready for a large-scale war until at least 46 years later...

Wait for this series of tempting big checks.

Third, in terms of political transactions, Ming’s bottom line is:

Germany: To deny that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is an independent and legal country, it must claim that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is an invader, and the land it currently occupies is part of the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty;

Ming Dynasty: It is completely legitimate and moral to support German rearmament and support Germany’s actions and efforts to break away from the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles. Ming Dynasty supports Germany’s request for the Danzig Corridor, supports Germany’s request for the Sudetenland, and pretends to be Hitler.

If my husband is interested, Ming Dynasty will also support him in the Anschluss... Of course, it is all moral support.

As for material matters, the Ming Dynasty will send a large number of permanent city-building experts to Germany to help the German people build a "West Wall Defense Line" with their rich experience in building the Yangtze River Defense Line. In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also sell unlimited amounts of non-ferrous metal ores that Germany lacks.

.

Of course, these are Daming's final bottom line. They cannot throw them all out at once. They must use as few things as possible in exchange for as many things as possible. Moreover, Xiang Xiaoqiang's visit this time is just to make contact first and explore the way. If he finds that both parties

He is very sincere and very provocative. Zhu Yourong will go there with a group of experts to conduct formal negotiations.

Zhu Yourong shook his head and smiled:

"That's right, I think you are like a prophet, as if you know what Chancellor Hitler wants to do in a few years."

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, trust my information..."

…

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Queen's plane flew to Guangzhou. On that day, Zhu Yourong and his entourage rested in Guangzhou for one night. The next day, the Queen's motorcade arrived at Guangzhou Port in the Pearl River Estuary.

When Xiang Xiaoqiang got out of the car, the first thing he saw was a black, white and red giant luxury cruise ship parked in the port.

The giant ship's pitch-black hull, white superstructure, three large red smokestacks, and its weight of more than 30,000 tons are quite similar to the Titanic back then.

This is one of the main cruise ships of the Ming Dynasty Zheng Shipping Company: Yongan Princess.

The Yongan Princess is a brand new fast cruise ship that will be used to operate shipping services from the Ming Dynasty to Europe. The route passes through the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Gibraltar, and finally reaches the Atlantic Ocean

The voyage to Europe on the east coast is about 10,000 nautical miles.
