"Oh."
Zeng Siping's face flushed, "I'm just interested in extracurricular activities, and I've been in Europe for a long time, and it's rare to meet Chinese partners." ”President Meng smiled slightly, "It's a good thing that you care about current affairs, and you are very smart, I am very pleased, in the future, you and Sophia will stay by my side to study, so that you don't have to worry about not having a partner." ”Catherine was worried about not knowing how to open her mouth to Emperor Hua and leave Sophia by His Majesty's side, when she heard Emperor Hua take the initiative to keep Sophia by her side, she was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”President Meng smiled and nodded, "It's nothing, the three of us went to school together in the first place, and I'm very happy to be with them." ”Catherine pulled Sophia's sleeve, "Sophia, Your Majesty wants to keep you by your side, and you don't thank Your Majesty yet." ”Sophia is a simple little girl, and she has just entered high school, she looked at President Meng in a daze, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, will I go to school next to Your Majesty in the future, then where will I take the exam then" Catherine was angry and funny, "You are all going to school next to Your Majesty, do you still have to worry about where to take the exam" Princess Katrina Kafu said softly to Sophia: "Don't worry about the exam, do you already have a plan, what do you want to do in the future" "I want to be like my mother, and become an architect in the future." ”Sophia smiled cutely.Catherine sighed slightly, knowing that her daughter was not a politician, and hurriedly peeked at Emperor Hua's face, wanting to see His Majesty's thoughts from His Majesty's face.President Meng doesn't matter, in fact, President Meng has always been not very interested in letting people close to him join the administrative system, the children of the family, relatives and friends, they want to enter the officialdom, they have to rely on their own skills, at first there were people entrusted to Xuan Zonglu or Xuan Hongtao, Xuan Huang's side, but the emperor never paid attention to this kind of backdoor, after a long time, no one wanted to enter the officialdom through the direct appointment of the emperor."
It's great to be an architect, and if you really like it, you can arrange a course in this area now."
President Moe said to Catherine.Catherine hurriedly bowed her head and agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”Compared with China, Tsarist Russia has a large area of border with Central Asia, and the transportation is convenient, needless to say, geographically it must be more advantageous for Tsarist Russia.However, China's greater overall national strength, especially its economic strength, which far exceeds that of Russia, has to a considerable extent offset the disadvantage of its geographical location.The development of science and technology has also greatly improved transportation conditions, which has also had an impact on the evaluation of geopolitical relations, and the connection between China and Central Asia has been greatly narrowed.Another crucial point is that the geopolitical value of Central Asia is reflected differently in the hands of China and Russia.For Tsarist Russia, the value of Central Asia is mainly reflected in the geopolitical level, and the special geographical location at the crossroads of the Eurasian continent allows Tsarist Russia to use this as a basis to exert influence on the three major plates of East Asia, West Asia, and South Asia.And here in China, in addition to its geopolitical significance, Central Asia has extremely high geoeconomic value.Through the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt across Central Asia, it can greatly narrow the land connection between Central Europe, as well as China and the Middle East, which contains huge economic value, and can greatly reduce the political and economic costs that need to be paid in the process of expanding and maintaining geopolitical influence, which is something that Tsarist Russia cannot do.It is precisely because Tsarist Russia can't get money in the process of managing and ruling Central Asia, so Tsarist Russia has not taken crazy revenge against China after losing Siberia and Central Asia in a row, and Tsarist Russia is now indeed lacking in national strength because of the long-term war and the poor economic foundation of agricultural countries, but this is a fighting country, even if the money is not enough, gritting his teeth, and starting with China that has not gained a firm foothold in Central Asia, it is not impossible.Therefore, Tsarist Russia could not get money in Central Asia, but had to pay for the garrison and government management, which is the reason why the feudal rulers of Tsarist Russia in 1879 did not have a strong desire to regain control of Central Asia.As a result, the natural advantages of Tsarist Russia in connecting with Central Asia have been greatly weakened, and Tsarist Russia has also lacked strong countermeasures against the expansion of China's geopolitical influence.At the same time, the actual national conditions of Tsarist Russia also restrained Tsarist Russia's desire for obstruction from within.Because after the Great War, the internal contradictions were too acute.This has made the already weak Russian economy even worse.The Emperor predicted that for at least two or three years, Tsarist Russia would have to face a difficult situation of external political isolation and internal economic stagnation or even regression.Politics aside.From an economic point of view, how to mitigate the negative impact of this protracted crisis is something that Tsarist Russia has to consider.The construction of the Central Asian Provincial Economic Belt in China is beneficial to stimulating the economy of Tsarist Russia.The Chinese emperor brought in millions of people at once, and a considerable part of the agricultural products were purchased from Tsarist Russia, not because things were cheap in Tsarist Russia.On the one hand, because the Chinese emperor wanted to ease the relations between China and Tsarist Russia, and on the other hand, the price of grain, compared with the price of agricultural products from Tsarist Russia, which had added a very high price, was still too long, and the time to take over Central Asia was too short, and these were the two most prominent problems in the management of Central Asian provinces.Xinjiang is still relying on the northwest provinces to pull it, but it is a pity that the current economically developed areas of China, only the Zhili region in the north, and the rest are all concentrated in the east coast.The Central Asian provinces, which pass through the Urals, Moscow, and the northern part of the industrial region of South Russia, were of great help in boosting the economy of Tsarist Russia.From the perspective of Tsarist Russia, they also have quite concerns: first, this east-west economic belt with Central Asia as the hub, especially the layout of the southern route from Central Asia to West Asia, will seriously weaken the scope of Tsarist Russia's future expansion, and they are worried that the influence of China, and even Europe and Turkey will enter Central Asia as a result; Moreover, when the time comes, after China builds Central Asia, Central Asia will also be economically free from Russia's influence.After all, this is not a long-term source of finance.Moreover, the Eurasian land bridge built by Central Asia can directly link China and Europe together, and the Central Asia and West Asia along the route are rich in resources and have low development difficulty, which can save exchange costs while giving better play to its economic value.With China's control over the Central Asian provinces firmly established, this situation will not only weaken Russia's control over its own economy, but also pose a great threat to the long-term stability of North Asia.If Tsarist Russia is concerned, it is probably reluctant to see the emergence of the Central Asian provincial economic belt.However, the reality of the overall decline, and the European powers pressing forward step by step, made Tsarist Russia in urgent need of fresh blood.The Central Asian Economic Belt may have hidden dangers in the long run, but at least in the short and medium term, it can be a good blood tonic.Based on this consideration, it is really difficult for the Tsarist Russian royal family, which has bottomed out, to refuse this temptation, not to mention that it is the only China that can give itself substantial support to build this economic belt.The opposition of Central Asia, the temptation of reality, and the lack of means of defense determined that although Tsarist Russia was wary of China, it really wanted to intervene, but it also had many concerns.And this is exactly what President Meng and Hua Guo need.Although the process of building the Central Asian Economic Belt is destined to be full of twists and turns, as long as Tsarist Russia does not stubbornly use force to obstruct it in the past three years, most of the risks faced by China will be eliminated.Even if one day, Tsarist Russia recovers, but at that time the economic belt has been completed and the results are great, even if Tsarist Russia is dissatisfied, it will have nothing to do.Huahuang and Huaguo are both racing against time.The Chinese Emperor has already thought clearly about the construction of Central Asia Province and the question of whether to build Central Asia Province, and although the gambling component is very large, he still insists that the first step of Huaguo to go overseas should be placed in Central Asia Province."
In addition to going to school, you can learn the paperwork of the President's Secretariat with Princess Katrina Kaf."
President Meng said to Zeng Siping.When Emperor Hua said this, Princess Katrina Kaf, Jiegege, Lee Tae-hee, Catherine and Zhao Qingluo were all very surprised.Zeng Siping sweetly agreed: "Okay, if my father knew that His Majesty personally approved me to enter the President's Secretariat, he would definitely be very happy." ”President Meng smiled slightly, this little girl, do you know what a great honor it is for a Chinese woman to enter the president's secretariat, but Huahuang thought about it, this is really nothing to Zeng Siping, she is her fiancée, second only to the queen in terms of identity, what is this Looking at Zeng Siping's 13-year-old and immature little face, coupled with tall, already a little developed breasts, Huahuang felt fun."
It's not just your father who will be happy, but your whole family will be happy."
Catherine smiled, looked at Zeng Siping, and then at Sophia, Sophia was still drawing without distractions, which made Catherine sigh slightly.President Meng and everyone present saw Catherine's thoughts, and Catherine felt that Sophia was not as pleasing as Zeng Siping to the emperor.President Meng smiled: "It's nothing to enter the President's Secretariat, I see that Zeng Siping likes this kind of work, and it's also a good thing to get in touch with it early." ”Princess Katrina Kafu solemnly said to Emperor Hua: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will let people educate Siping carefully." ”Zeng Siping affectionately shook Princess Katrina Kaf's hand, "Thank you, princess sister." ”Emperor Hua saw that Zeng Siping and Princess Katrina Kafu got along well, and he was also secretly pleased."
Your Majesty, Ito Hirobumi's Foreign Secretary Shigeru Moriyama asks to see Your Majesty."
At this time, Wang Zhankui came to Huahuang's ear and whispered.Hua Huang was stunned, he didn't expect Ito Hirobumi to take the initiative to contact him at this time, which is not quite in line with the character of the Japanese t1706231537:
