Sun Liwen, the president of the Republic of China, who visited Europe for half a year, visited Italy, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Denmark in Europe, allowing Chinese leaders to appear in front of Europeans for the first time. It also made Europeans realize that the current China is controlled by revolutionaries, and the current China is no longer those big smokers with money rat tails. It can be said that Sun Liwen's visit has greatly improved China's international image, and has also begun to make ordinary European citizens begin to realize that China has always been a mysterious country in their eyes. Sun Liwen carried the expectations of the Chinese people to publicize China in European countries, and asked European governments, especially the signatories of the "Gengzi Treaty", to cancel the Gengzi Treaty, or use the indemnity of the Gengzi Treaty as tuition fees for Chinese students to study, following the example of the US government. It can be said that although Sun Liwen gradually showed the upper hand in the struggle for domestic power, he brought great benefits to China when he was involved in foreign affairs.

Finally, amid the cheers of the Chinese people along the way, Sun Liwen was escorted by the Chinese coast guard escort warship all the way north and arrived in Tianjin.

Although Tianjin was still a concession and was the largest coastal city in China, and the squadron could not garrison troops, after the reunification of China, the attitude of various countries towards China was somewhat relaxed. Everyone will not object to the squadron, especially the Chinese Coast Guard, docking at Tianjin Port, and it is precisely because of the pros and cons of various countries in Tianjin that Tianjin is becoming more and more prosperous.

Today is the day of Sun Liwen's return to Tianjin, and tens of thousands of people rushed to the port to greet the president. Premier Tang Shaoyi and Minister of National Defense Wang Maoru also rushed to the port to greet Sun Liwen.

Blowing the sea breeze and feeling the bitterness of the sea, Wang Maoru stood by the car and leaned against the door and took a puff of cigarette. said with a smile: "Today is a good weather, and the president of your country is at the right time." ”

Tang Shaoyi said worriedly: "Is Xiusheng going to prepare to deal with the Kuomintang? ”

Wang Maoru said: "In the political relationship, the father-in-law must stand firm, and he must not abolish the public for personal reasons." ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled bitterly: "Now that China's politics are harmonious and the balance of power is balanced, why ......bother?"

"Father-in-law......" Wang Maoru said, "you and I are grasshoppers on a rope." ”

Tang Shaoyi nodded but sighed. said: "You have too much murderous energy. ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "It's the smell of smoke, not the murderous spirit." ”

Tang Shaoyi saw that he was looking at him left and right, so he could only look into the distance helplessly.

When Sun Liwen stood on the bow of the boat, he saw the crowd of people and the government personnel who greeted him. He was also very excited, but his body did not allow him to stand at the bow of the boat for a long time, so he did not speak enthusiastically, but got off the boat directly. Wang Maoru followed behind Tang Shaoyi and greeted him. Sun Liwen was supported by the Hu Han people and got off the boat. The two smiled at each other after shaking hands, without saying much.

Sun Liwen let go of Tang Shaoyi's hand again, walked up to him and said with a smile: "Xiusheng, you are here too." ”

Wang Maoru saw that Sun Liwen seemed to have changed greatly in the past six months, his hair was gray, his cheeks were thin, his eyes were bulging, and he seemed to be thin and out of shape, and he was surprised that the blow of this disease was not only physiological. It is also a blow to people's psychology. Sun Liwen, who is aggressive by nature, will be afraid of disease one day, which is really impermanent. He immediately stepped forward and gave a military salute. Only then did he stretch out his hand to shake it and said, "The president has worked hard, I hope to recover as soon as possible, China cannot do without your leadership." ”

Sun Liwen smiled and said: "China's affairs are something that we all sit down to study together, and I can't carry it alone, especially Xiusheng's army, taking Central Asia in the Western Regions and raising the prestige of our country." ”

Wang Maoru said: "If it weren't for the great president's strategy, how could we reckless soldiers fight for the glory of the country." President, please get in the car. ”

This is a domestic special lengthened VIP car, by the Wehrmacht Defense Forces Third Arsenal trial production of five, the vehicle length of 5.8 meters, width of 3.2 meters, by the cab and conference room, the rear conference room can seat six people, front and rear six seats opposite, in the middle is a table, and the front cab by the driver and co-pilot, the vehicle can seat eight people. Named Great Wall No. 1, this VIP car has an all-black paint, brown bulletproof glass, and a 7mm bulletproof steel plate on the outer layer of the body, so that this car can prevent the attack of pistol bullets in a certain sense.

The Great Wall No. 1 VIP car with license plate number "Guo 002" slowly drove away from the port and drove to the railway station, and there were five people sitting in the VIP car conference room, namely Sun Liwen, President of the Republic of China, Tang Shaoyi, Premier of the Republic of China, Wang Maoru, Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China, Hu Hanren, Sun Liwen's secretary, and Sun Liwen's Dutch doctor Fan. Colbert. Due to Sun Liwen's poor health, many things had to be explained by Hu Hanren, and he was qualified to enter the VIP car.

Sun Liwen was very interested in this car, so he asked the driver in front of him, there was a layer of bulletproof glass between the conference room and the cab, and there was only a small window to contact, and the driver was also a person specially arranged by the Ministry of National Defense. The safety of this car is not to say, and the maneuverability is the use of the original British Rolls Royce engine, the whole vehicle is designed and manufactured by German skilled workers working in China, this is the first Chinese domestic car.

After asking about the car, Sun Liwen turned back to Wang Maoru and said: "Your Ministry of Defense industry is very good now, I heard that Britain still has a military food order contract with the Ministry of Defense?" ”

Wang Maoru knew this, so he replied: "This is part of the Gengzi indemnity, the British almost gave up the Gengzi indemnity, but the remaining part was replaced by canned luncheon meat produced by the Wehrmacht, the British like this thing very much, the British are not particular about eating, they make their own are hard to eat, our canned luncheon meat has been favored by them since the European war was sold to the British ** side." They turned part of our country's Gengzi indemnity into canned food, which is also a little contribution to the country by the military industry department of the Ministry of Defense. ”

Tang Shaoyi said: "Today, the reparations that my country still has are the surplus of Gengzi indemnity and the indemnity to Japan, but there are not many left, but there are some things to talk about in China recently. Today, the Ministry of the Interior has arrested a group of antiquities dealers who are preparing to sell Chinese antiquities to Japan. And many of these cultural relics are actually cultural relics in the palace, according to people familiar with the report, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are suspected of stealing and selling national treasures. ”

Sun Liwen hurriedly asked: "Is there any banner royal family involved?" ”

Tang Shaoyi said: "The Ministry of the Interior did not give evidence on this point, but only said that it was suspected that the eunuchs were authorized by the imperial family to steal and sell national treasures, according to the eunuchs who stole and sold national treasures, they were living too hard and were about to starve to death, and they had to live by selling national treasures." In addition, after this incident, many people wanted to depose the emperor and move out of the palace, and some members of the House of Representatives also proposed this construction. ”

"It's really bad, it's not good." Sun Liwen wanted to say why not let the abolished emperor move out of the palace, but the "preferential treatment of the royal family" was signed by Yuan Shikai, and Wang Maoru, who was sitting in front of him, was the heir of Beiyang who inherited the Beiyang system, so it was easy to cause controversy when he said it, so he looked at Wang Maoru to see what he said.

Wang Maoru said disdainfully: "The abolished emperor will grow up sooner or later, it is better to encircle him in the palace than outside, and he will be used by people with intentions to create trouble outside, so it is better to lock him up in the palace." It's just that there is a problem in this palace that needs to be solved immediately, the question of how to use the large sum of silver taels that we give to the royal family every year. In the past, the internal affairs office of the imperial family was extremely corrupt, but now if the internal affairs office of the imperial family is not corrupt, how can the eunuchs not be able to live and resell cultural relics? Therefore, I think we should start with the internal affairs office of the imperial family, and the central department will send someone to review how the royal family's expenses are used, and how can the eunuchs starve to death with three million silver dollars a year? ”

Sun Liwen pondered for a while and said, "This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." ”

Wang Maoru said: "In the Nuo Palace, it is a waste to only live in the family of the abolished emperor, so it is better to let them only live in one or several gardens." ”

"What about other places?" Sun Liwen asked.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Take back the state-owned, treat it as an exhibition, open it to the people, and allow the people to visit." You can still make a lot of money from tickets and derivatives every year. ”

Sun Liwen smiled bitterly: "You, Wang Xiusheng, really got into the eyes of money." His personal physician Fan. Colbert looked at the time and reminded him that it was time to take medicine, so Sun Liwen took some medicine.

Tang Shaoyi asked about Sun Liwen's condition, and Hu Hanren replied on his behalf: "The president's condition is getting better day by day, but recently due to the return of China from Europe by boat, and the reception activities in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Xiamen, Shanghai, and Qingdao, the president is a little tired and needs to take a temporary rest." ”

Wang Maoru asked directly: "What kind of disease does the president have?" ”

Sun Liwen and Hu Hanren were a little embarrassed on their faces, but Hu Hanren still replied: "Liver disease, there are some problems with the liver." ”

Wang Maoru nodded and said: "No wonder the face is a little sallow, the military medical department of the Ministry of National Defense is composed of some Chinese medicine experts, and Chinese medicine is very good at dealing with liver diseases, why don't you please treat the president, how about it?" ”

Hu Hanren hurriedly said: "Chief Wang, the president's current doctor is very good, and there is no need to change it temporarily, otherwise the conflict between Chinese and Western medicine will be ...... Do you say? ”

Sun Liwen said with a smile: "I feel a lot more comfortable now, in fact, before liver disease was detected, I never felt that there was anything wrong with my body, but after I found out that I was sick, there were many problems." This is the psychological effect, thinking that I am sick, and then the illness will be more serious, if I don't think about it, I guess there is no problem. ”

Tang Shaoyi said with a smile: "Mood affects health, and the president's mentality is relaxed." (To be continued......)
