The first island chain?
What the hell is this?
Indeed, even King Qin, Zhu Zhen and others had never heard of this concept.
The two looked at each other.
This Liu Zheng probably has too many things.
Those who were making trouble were not just showing off their teeth and making noises, but now they were attracted by Liu Zheng. They stared blankly at this huge world map.
The first island chain?
Maritime supremacy?
They seem to know what it is, but they definitely don't know it so clearly and in detail... They can vaguely feel something, but it's definitely not that clear.
Liu Zheng continued to laugh: "From Sakhalin to Nanyang, it will be our first island chain! In this first island chain, all waterways must be ours! Whether it is military or trade! On the first island chain , we will place at least thirty Yinzhou ships to ensure our absolute control over the first island chain!"
"In this way, we are already in Asia and beginning to contain the Tsarist Russian Navy!"
"And starting from India, it is our second island chain!"
He pointed again.
Everyone was shocked again.
From the Indian Ocean, to the Suez Canal, to the Mediterranean Sea, and then to the east, extending to Australia... the various straits along the way are connected into a line on the map.
"We expect that in the next ten years, we will start from Australia, go to the Americas, North America, South America, and then to the Atlantic Ocean to form a third island chain!"
Liu Zheng's voice became louder and louder, and the glint in his eyes became more intense.
Until now...
The whole place was silent!
crazy!
This Minister Liu is really crazy!
His ambition is too great!
You know, if Long Yan is really the size on the map, then you can imagine how big the whole world will be! And if Liu Zheng can really capture these island chains... that would be terrible, terrible! The sea power of the entire world, as well as the power of trade, will fall into his hands...
All countries must look up to him!
At that time, it will be France, Britain, Ottoman, and even Tsarist Russia...especially Tsarist Russia!
If Long Yan could build these three island chains, Tsarist Russia would be a sick bear locked up near the North Pole!
Yes!
Completely sick bear!
It is difficult for the entire world's trade to enter Tsarist Russia, and it is difficult for food to pass through. This means that if these three island chains are formed! The entire Tsarist Russia will be isolated!
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a look of terror on their faces.
This Liu Zheng is really cruel!
This is to slowly torture Tsarist Russia to death!
But the nobles and scholar-bureaucrats present are concerned about... how much economic benefits these three island chains will bring to them!
quiet.
Outside the palace, there was no more hustle and bustle.
Only silence remained.
Everyone is thinking about their own things...
then.
A strange picture appeared.
Liu Zheng was sitting alone on the steps, surrounded by such a group of people.
and……
This scene takes place at the entrance of the palace!
This was simply unimaginable to Long Yan in the past. In the past, Longyan, the palace was the most sacred place, the most revered place, and also the most awe-inspiring place. Ordinary people would be easily killed as long as they were slightly closer to the palace... How could there be such a thing now? free?
Liu Zheng laughed and asked loudly: "Fellow compatriots, do you have any other questions?"
He felt that today was like a press question and answer session after he became the first assistant.
"Shilang Liu! What do you say about the simplified Chinese characters!"
Someone mentioned this again.
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "It's very simple. Simplified Chinese characters are easy to promote, easy to eliminate illiteracy, and the general public can read. What's wrong? And you so-called sages' books, we will also use them at the same time! They don't affect each other!"
"What about territory redistribution?"
"Why, do you think we in Liangzhou have benefited or suffered a loss?"
"this……"
"Shilang Liu, the Cabinet and the House of Lords have been elected, why is there no movement in the House of Commons alone!"
Liu Zheng looked calm and answered fluently: "Because the members of the House of Commons will be more complex, more tolerant, and more diverse. Starting from the House of Commons, people from all walks of life in Longyan society have the right to participate in politics! Including you, including you, including you!”
The whole place was in an uproar.
People get excited.
"Shilang Liu, the Constitution will have too many restrictions on the imperial power. The cabinet believes that the Constitution will become the first criterion for law after Long Yan. This means that to some extent, we no longer need You're afraid of the emperor, is that right?"
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded.
This press question and answer session lasted for two hours.
Liu Zheng was not in a hurry.
Answered patiently.
Almost every question that sounded very sharp was handled by him perfectly.
It was not until this time that people knew that they believed that Liu Shilang's sexy and mysterious operations were all Liu Zheng's step-by-step process. None of them were useless, and they were all linked together.
The cabinet and the people in the House of Lords were also shocked.
This is Liu Zheng...
This is Shilang Liu...
This first performance after becoming the first assistant received almost full marks.
People are satisfied with his plan for Long Yan.
…
Xie Fang, Qin Changfeng, Pei Yanran, and Su Qi were also stunned at this time.
Good guy!
The first island chain!
The second island chain!
The third island chain!
All in all, Australia is completely the center of these three island chains, the complete hub!
Top priority!
Xie Fang became excited, because if Australia becomes the center of these three island chains, it means that he will become the center of trade in these three waterways! Australia's development is just around the corner!
sharp!
He took a deep breath, and his admiration for Liu Zheng was overwhelming.
If he said that a few years ago, when he first met Liu Zheng, he was just a young man who was running Yinzhou and Liangzhou and had just made some achievements... Then, his growth rate was simply amazing.
He has gone from Liangzhou to the entire Longyan, and now he has reached the entire world...
This speed...
Who can compare?
"Sir, you are a great talent, Mr. Liu Shilang... a great talent!"
Xie Fang did not hesitate at all.
He decided at that moment not to be timid anymore. Before, he felt that it was difficult to be the leader. He was reluctant to use the money and resources in his hands. He even thought about speeding up to seize resources from Australia and use them himself... But now, his thoughts happened. A fundamental change.
Build Australia!
Whether the resources were harvested locally in Australia, supported by Liu Zheng, or brought over from Guawa Island, they were all invested in the construction of Australia.
On the one hand, build fortifications.
On the one hand, large-scale infrastructure construction began.
He believes that in just a few years, Australia will become a true paradise and a true reserve for mankind.
He also believes that Liu Zheng has the strength. At least for now, he has the strength to launch a global war.
Wait until the day when the war actually breaks out...
He could already imagine that countless people from all over the world would come to seek refuge in his own Australia...
That was when Australia really took off.
…
Following Liu Zheng's "Journalist Question and Answer Session", at least there were fewer and fewer people making trouble in Jinghua.
The simplified Chinese versions of the "Three Character Classic" and "The Thousand Character Classic" have begun to be distributed in large quantities, and this is something that cannot be stopped. The eradication of illiteracy for all people has officially begun. Liu Zheng was fierce and patient, and showed his blueprint to others, which was like giving a piece of candy.
With the demand for simplified Chinese characters from the people at the bottom, the entire Longyan dialogue began to use simplified Chinese characters by default.
Although they still know how to stand on the commanding heights of academics and occasionally write an article to criticize the vulgarity of simplified Chinese, at least no one will risk their lives to defend their so-called high-end.
Especially in the northwest war, when Tsarist Russia's army continued to advance into the Western Regions, people discovered that the northwest coalition led by Zou Sheng did not allow them to take another step forward. The battle situation began to become tragic, but on Long Yan's own home court, Rumyantsev, a man who had repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in the European battlefield, had no choice.
A fierce battle.
This made Long Yan's wind direction begin to stabilize.
Liu Zheng still didn't have time to go back to Liangzhou to see his biological brother.
Because in a few days, the new emperor will ascend the throne.
This is a big deal in Long Yan. Although the monarchy has been established, the emperor is still a kind of faith in people's hearts and a beacon that can lead them forward. Therefore, the mood among the people was very high, with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and the death of Xie Tianyao was no longer so great. The impact of Xie Tianyao's death on Long Yan was not that great. What people began to look forward to was the enthronement of the new emperor. These thousands of years of custom will not change with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.
The eighth day of July.
Auspicious days of the zodiac.
Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, which are responsible for the enthronement of the new emperor, have been preparing for more than a month.
In ancient times, when a new emperor ascended the throne, how much money did he have? This goes without saying.
The entire Beijing is magnificent.
The palace was already overcrowded.
Xie Ming was extremely excited early in the morning. He had already put on the dragon robe tailor-made for him.
Although there were eunuchs and maids around to help him prepare these messy things with various etiquettes, Dong Shuyu beside him was also excited to help.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."
Xie Ming's breathing had begun to become rapid.
While packing his clothes, Dong Shuyu whispered: "Keep it up, keep it up..."
Xie Ming's voice also began to tremble.
I can't bear it anymore!
He really couldn't bear it anymore!
He was actually discussing state affairs with those untouchables on the steps of the palace! He felt that this was the greatest contempt for the royal family and the Xie family!
today!
Just today!
He must completely eradicate the cancer that is Liu Zheng!
"Already prepared……"
Dong Shuyu spoke softly in his ear.
