After three days of train, Huahuang and his entourage arrived in Paris.Paris is the largest city on the European continent and one of the most prosperous cities in the world.It is located in the north of France, on the west bank of the Seine, 375 kilometers from the English Channel at the mouth of the river.The Seine meanders through the city, forming two islands in the heart of the river, Stade and Saint-Louis.The Greater Paris region also includes the Haute-Seine, Val-de-Marne and Seine-Saint-Denis departments, which are scattered around the walls of Paris and are made up of municipalities connected to Paris.The city of Paris, the three departments mentioned above, as well as the departments of Yvelines, Val-d'Oise, Senemne and Essonne, form the region.This area has been known as "Île-de-France" since ancient times.The city itself is located in the middle of the Paris Basin, with a mild maritime climate, no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter, and the scenery is picturesque, which makes a bunch of women around Hua Huang very fond and excited."
Your Majesty, it's so beautiful here."
Jiege said softly in Hua Huang's ear.President Meng smiled slightly, "You guys, when you go to a place and say that a place is beautiful, you can't change your lines." ”"Hehe, what other lines" Jie Gege laughed, "not every place is beautiful, Central Asia is very remote." ”"Without those deserted places, there would be no such rich places, besides, where there is money, can be beautiful, and where there is no money, no matter how good the scenery is, it is also a poor country."
Hua Huang smiled."
Hey, Your Majesty is right, the key is to take care of yourself, Queen, you said, our Jiangnan, take Shanghai as an example, and how does it compare with these European cities and Hong Kong."
It was Princess Katrina Kaaf who was questioned.Geger thought for a while, "Or we have to be worse, how prosperous Paris is, look at the foreigners on the street, all of them seem to be very personable." ”Geig said, still looking out the window.As in the past, no one came to greet the emperor, only a few clerks of the Chinese statistical bureau and the diplomatic department in Paris, and then a few officials of French foreign affairs, not to greet him, but more like to spy on the emperor, as if the emperor and his party were a gang of bandits.Princess Katrina Kaf said, "Sooner or later we will overtake their prosperity and turn this place into ruins." ”Jiegege, President Moe, and everyone looked at Princess Katrina Kaf, Princess Katrina Kafu blushed, she rarely got angry, but everyone could feel that Princess Katrina Kafu was angry."
What's the matter, don't you think the French are too cold," President Moe asked Princess Katrina Cafu with a smile.Princess Katrina Cafu nodded, "I really don't know what the French are arrogant about, I was just cramped and skinned by the Germans in the Franco-Prussian War, and now I look like one of the best powers in the world." ”"Although they were defeated, they are still the second most powerful power, and that's not wrong."
President Meng smiled.Emperor Hua's words also caused the women to snicker.Princess Katrina Kafu said angrily: "Although I know, I still feel angry.Is it a powerful country that can snub us like this It is a country that has greeted us in advance and visited it, and Your Majesty is also the most powerful emperor in Asia. ”"Herein lies the problem, Europeans are too preconceived of Asia and think that we are nothing more than a country with a feudal agrarian society, so don't be angry."
President Moe held Princess Katrina Kaf's hand and patted it gently.Princess Katrina Kaf's anger has eased a little, and she is angry nine times out of ten because of Emperor Hua.The president of France, François Paul Jules Grevi, the third president of the Third Republic, was born in 1807 in Monssowardere, in the Jura department.Grevi was not tall, with square shoulders and broad chest, brown hair, and two dark and shiny eyes; The eye sockets are deep, the forehead is wide and high, and the cheeks are high, and they are half circled by a beard like a fence.The slightly odd hooked nose protrudes from the middle of his beard, his mouth seems a little too small, and his closed lips are as thin as a blade.He was stout and burly, but his head was very elegant, and he looked like a missionary.François was the quintessential 19th-century scholar, a well-educated, learned philosophie, and an unwavering republican.But he knew very little about social issues, especially about workers.He was rigid, disciplined, opposed and suspicious of all reforms, and he said: "In public life, there should be no ingenuity, people have the right to speak, we have the right to do things."
Human affairs will be done according to the laws of nature. ”The bourgeoisie, who had the scent of a peasant, was well-read and could recite long passages of poetry from ancient French poets, so that, when confronted with difficult questions or irrefutable evidence, he could recite a philosophical poem to buy time to think deeply, or to avoid the past in a high-sounding manner, or even to subtly change the subject.The man behaved strangely and slept until 12 or 1 p.m. before waking up.François rarely gestured when he spoke, his words were cautious, his tone was pretentious, and his demeanor was calm.He does not want to sensationalize and tries to convince others with facts, he never exaggerates and gives people a cordial impression.At this time, François was already aware that the Emperor had arrived in Paris, and was addressing Prime Minister Jouferi in his office.Jouferi was a politician in the early days of the French Third Republic, known for his anti-church education laws and the expansion of the colonies.Born in Saint-Dier, Vosges, in the Vosges, Jouferi studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1854, although he soon abandoned this path and entered politics, where he became known for writing articles for several newspapers.In extremely vehement, he criticized the Second Empire and attacked his political enemies, especially Baron Haussmann, governor of the Seine.Later, Jouferi published a collection of his criticisms of the Ottomans as thefantastiann.During the Franco-Prussian War, Jouferi was governor of the Seine, and in 1870 he was mayor of Paris during the siege of the capital, which earned him the nickname "Ferry the Starving".In 18721873, he served as minister to Greece and spent the next six years in the Republican Party against conservative President Patrice McMahon.During his tenure as Prime Minister of France, Jouferry greatly weakened the influence of the Church on the Third Republican Government, dissolved the Society of Jesus, introduced educational reforms, and banned church members from teaching in any school.During his tenure, Jouferi also fought against the still powerful monarchists, such as the orthodox faction that supported the restoration of the Bourbon royal family, and the Orleans faction, which supported the July Dynasty, and removed many monarchists who were at the top of the judicial, military, diplomatic, and administrative systems.Jouferry's views on Germany's problems were the same as those of later Prime Minister Joseph Cayo, and he did not advocate a head-on confrontation with Germany.At the time, most French center-right politicians believed that they had a sacred responsibility to lead France to defeat Germany and recover Alsace Lorraine.Unlike them, Jouferi believed that Germany was too powerful for France alone to defeat Germany, and that it would be wiser to cooperate with Germany and avoid provoking trouble.However, Jouffeli's policy was not popular.Bismarck feared that France would wage a war of revenge.He believed that although France was vulnerable, Germany should not ask for too much benefit after the victory over France.Bismarck only wanted to force France to pay a billion francs in reparations, to weaken France temporarily.However, it was Wilhelm I who supported Albrecht von Roon and Moltke who did not agree with him and advocated forcing France to cede the two provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.Bismarck's best efforts could not stop the two.After the war, he felt that the acquisition of the two provinces would have a negative impact.In the 70s and 80s of the 19th century, Bismarck was able to use various means to ease the French, but as the problems between Austria, Russia, and Italy, Germany's allies, gradually emerged, he felt that France would one day use this problem against Germany.In the European politics of this era, Jouferi was a pivotal figure.t1706231537:
