PS: The first update has arrived! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! Thank you for the reward from the anonymous juniors in Jiangnan! Thank you for the monthly pass of markleu and the book maniac!

At two o'clock in the afternoon of September 25, on the dock of Dagu Port, the imperial crown prince Wang Zirui was dressed in military uniform, and at the end of the war, he was already a major in the army! However, this is probably the only chance he will have to go to war! The next war is estimated to be several years away, and at that time, his work will be more focused on domestic political affairs than foreign wars!

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Tang has sent a telegram saying that the fleet will still have an hour before it can enter the port." A palace guard reported to Wang Zirui!

"Hmmm! I know, let's get ready, but don't lose the prestige of the empire in front of those foreigners! Wang Zirui said! After becoming the crown prince of the empire, he knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was getting bigger and bigger! However, he also knew that he was not destined to become a great emperor like his father! When he was more than ten years old, the emperor Wang Yuze deliberately taught him things about democracy, letting him know that a first-class imperial country would not last long. This has been proven by so many dynasties in China's history! The first few generations of emperors may have worked hard, but the later emperors only knew pleasure. In this way, a strong empire can easily go into decline. And what Wang Yuze hopes to see is definitely not such an ending, he hopes that the empire he will establish can survive for a long time, and to do this, then the emperor must give up the power in his hands. Only in this way can the continuation of the empire be guaranteed. The empire will not be overthrown under a mediocre emperor. The royal family will not be slaughtered! When the dynasties changed dynasties. Very few royal families were able to survive the bloody massacre! Wang Yuze doesn't want his descendants to suffer such consequences!

"Perhaps, it's not bad to be a titular emperor! At the very least, you can have a lot of time to enjoy yourself like your father! "The crown prince Wang Yuze secretly thought in his heart! Emperor Wang Yuze is undoubtedly an example for him to learn, and it is Wang Yuze who led the empire to develop step by step from a weak country to the world's top power. It's just that Wang Yuze is not as tired as the emperors mentioned in the history books, but very leisurely! The main reason for this is that he has delegated power. Let all kinds of professional talents manage the country, and will not pretend to understand and blindly command. In this way, while the empire is developing at a high speed, Wang Yuze does not have to do everything! However, in the early stage of the development of the empire, Wang Yuze was still needed to grasp the general direction of the empire's development, so that the empire could avoid detours, so that the empire could quickly surpass those old powers.

Of course, if Wang Zirui wants to be like Wang Yuze, it is very difficult! But. At that time, Wang Yuze should be able to design the future development direction of the empire! At that time, the executive power of the empire will be transferred to the cabinet in its entirety. The military, on the other hand, is jointly led by the royal family and the cabinet. However, the royal family is at least nominally leading! The Ministry of Defense of the Cabinet will be responsible for the promotion of army generals, and the General Staff will be responsible for the command, operations, training, and so on of the army! The prime minister will no longer be appointed by the emperor, but by the candidates selected by the parties! In this way, the emperor's personal reasons would be avoided as much as possible from leading the decline of the empire. Of course, it may take a long time to achieve this qiē. Wang Yuze didn't know if he would be able to see this in his lifetime, so he needed to establish this idea in the concept of the heir, and then let the entire empire develop along his plan!

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the majestic figures of the two 'Imperial-class' battleships of the Chinese Navy appeared in the sky, and the imperial people and soldiers of the army on the dock cheered one after another. Everyone was very excited that the Empire could win this war and have such a powerful warship! This is undoubtedly Germany's powerful table!

In addition to the officials and staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent by the Government to greet the missions, there were also representatives of the military who were already responsible for the security of the troops. There are also some Imperial citizens who have come to watch! At this time, so many countries have sent important people to the empire to participate in the peace negotiation conference, which is a big event for the people of the empire! Some older people can even clearly remember that when China was still under the rule of the Manchus, those foreign devils were rampaging on the land of China. And now, aren't they also beaten down by us? Don't they have to come to China obediently to participate in peace talks and beg China to forgive them?

As early as when all countries agreed to hold the peace conference in Paris, the major media of the empire had already begun to publicize it, so that the people of the empire were full of expectations for the upcoming peace conference. Everyone hopes that the empire will be able to gain greater benefits at this peace conference, after all, in the past two years of war, the empire has also paid a huge price, hundreds of thousands of casualties, plus astronomical military spending, but they have to be recovered from these defeated countries! And it's doubling back! In addition, the empire has occupied a large number of fertile territories overseas, and it will have to wait until the end of the peace conference before it can start immigration! The immigrants of the empire before are now living a good life abroad, which makes many immigrants who were originally waiting and watching also begin to actively hope that the meeting will end soon! Under the guidance of the media, the people of the empire have reconsidered where to emigrate, whether it is the Indian Peninsula or Australia, or the Americas? The population of the empire is increasing, and the pressure at home is also increasing, even if the continuous development of the economy makes the people's lives better and better, if they can live better, no one will object!

The huge warship was moored in the sea about a kilometer away from the pier, and the cruise ship carrying the missions of various countries slowly approached the pier under the guidance of the pilot ship! The first ship to dock was the German cruise ship 'Crown Wilhelm'! Germany, as the leader of the Allies, a great power second only to China, should be the first to land!

Soon, Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany and his entourage, accompanied by the Chinese Foreign Minister, walked down the gangway.

"Your Highness, this is Crown Prince William!" Tang Shaoyi introduced to Wang Zirui!

"Your Royal Highness, welcome to China!" Wang Zirui stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, thank you for coming up to the dock to meet us in person!" Crown Prince William also had a smile on his face. Despite the ten-year age difference between the two, the two are the heirs of two of the most powerful countries in the world. Perhaps, they will also be opponents in the future! Of course, the premise is whether the Emperor Wang Yuze can defeat Germany in his lifetime!

After the two saluted, the Austro-Khalinarian cruise ship also docked, and the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand, King Ferdinand I of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, stepped off the ship, followed by the Prime Minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Romania.

Behind, Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire, and Enver, Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire. Pasha and others! As for the leaders of the defeated countries, the Chinese crown prince Wang Yuze was merely a stylized welcome! Of course, they will be welcomed, and the main purpose of this peace meeting is to cut off a piece of fat from these defeated countries!

As for the other leaders of Mexico and Colombia, they have already come to China a few days ago. In addition, the leaders of China's vassal states, Korea and Japan, as well as envoys sent by allies such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have already arrived!

"Everyone, welcome to China, we will soon be heading to the station and taking a special train to Beijing! This evening, His Majesty the Emperor will hold a welcome dinner for all of you! Wang Zirui said loudly!

Afterwards, the missions of various countries got into the car and went to the station! Martial law was already in place along the way, but there were still some people who spontaneously came to watch the foreign missions.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the special train departed from Tianjin and headed for Beijing! An hour and a half later, the special train arrived in Beijing! However, the time of the hour and a half along the way once again shocked the countries! On both sides of the railway line, there are dense factories and construction sites, and it is conceivable how far China's industrial power has developed, which also worries the Germans. Crown Prince William had been to China back then, and he clearly remembered that although China was also developing at a high speed at that time, the development process was far from being so high!

After the special train arrived in Beijing, the embassies of various countries went to their respective embassies in Beijing! Originally, the Chinese side wanted to arrange accommodation in a unified manner, but they were rejected by various countries! Even the embassies of the defeated countries are still preserved. And it has been specially sorted out, and they are completely ready to stay inside! Of course, the Chinese side can also understand that countries are afraid of being monitored by China, lest some of the bottom lines of the negotiations be leaked before the negotiations begin, which will cause huge losses to all countries!

The dinner is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Xinhua Palace. The banquet hall of Xinhua Palace is large enough to accommodate thousands of people, and important figures from various countries and high-ranking officials of the Chinese government and military can come to attend this dinner! Of course, the safety of the dinner is also the top priority, if there is any accident, it is a slap in the face of China in front of the world, which will have a huge negative impact on China's image, and China will never let such a thing happen!
