Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 244 Tomorrow's Roosevelt
In the spring of 1895, Guan Xuqing ushered in several happy events. First, Concubine De gave birth to a little elder brother who weighed eight catties. Guan Xuqing came to Yonghe Palace excitedly, feeling agitated. Well, if this child is not middle-aged or foreign, he, the king of a country, would be a little embarrassed, but when he saw the little elder brother, he finally let go of his hanging heart.This child's skin is surprisingly fair, and his pair of small black eyes are very cute.Guan Xuqing hugged the little elder brother in his arms, kissed the child, and then kissed the exhausted Concubine De, feeling indescribably happy.He immediately named the little elder brother Pu De.From then on, the empire had two crown princes, one was Pu Yin born to Empress Jingfen, and the other was Pu De born to Concubine De.

Not long after, accompanied by Liang Qichao, Guan Xuqing inspected the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Daxing County, Beijing.The Academy of Sciences covers an area of ​​more than 30 hectares. The land was personally approved by the emperor, including office areas, laboratories, living areas, entertainment areas, etc. The hardware facilities are few in the world.In just a few months, Liang Qichao used the huge sum of 600 million yuan allocated by the imperial court to invite many world-renowned scientists and engineers to live here.Among them are Ma Keqin, the father of heavy machine guns, Daimler, the famous mechanical engineer, Diesel, the father of diesel engines, Karl Benz, the mechanical engineer, Bell, the acoustic expert, Curie and his wife, etc. The park is tailor-made for every scientist An independent office area and supporting laboratories have been set up, and high-achieving students of corresponding majors are selected from well-known domestic universities such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Imperial Continental University, and Imperial Ocean University. As the assistants of these scientists, while conducting scientific research, they also achieve For the purpose of cultivating scientific talents for the empire.The father of modern submarines, John Holland, was also employed by the Empire and is currently developing a new type of underwater submarine at Weihai Naval Port.The Wright Brothers also led their own team to conduct aircraft experiments at a secret military base in the Northwest.Guan Xuqing attached great importance to these two scientific teams, and formulated Liang Qichao's annual allocation of 100 million yuan in research funds, which must not be discounted, and can be added at any time if necessary.

In this long list of scientists, there was a name that attracted Guan Xuqing's great attention. He asked Liang Qichao: "Zhuo Ru (Liang Qichao's character), you really belong to me, and you invited this person?"

Liang Qichao was astonished. The person the emperor pointed out was not very eye-catching among these world-renowned scientists, and he was even a little unknown. I added his name in order to gather more people. I didn't expect the emperor to respond to this person. Young people take it so seriously.He hurriedly presented this person's resume to the emperor, and Guan Xuqing rubbed his chin and looked at it with great interest.

Albert Einstein, graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, became a Swiss citizen, received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Zurich, worked in the Berne Patent Office, and served as a professor at the Technical University of Zurich and Prague Deutschland.Research field: quantum theory and photoelectric effect.

"We must pay special attention to this person, and provide him with the most abundant financial support and the best working conditions. If he neglects him, I will never agree!" Great scientists will be recruited under their own hands, and perhaps a few years later, the most lethal super weapon in the world will be born, but its owner is not the United States, but the Chinese Empire.

After returning to the Forbidden City, Guan Xuqing's mood was very high. He came to the Military Aircraft Office with great interest. All the central ministers were busy with the development and construction of the empire.

Everyone attended the emperor, and Li Hongzhang submitted a telegram that had just been typed: "This is a telegram just sent by Kaiser Wilhelm II. In order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the German Empire, you are invited to attend the celebration ceremony in Berlin. "

"In addition to inviting me, which other heads of state did he invite?" Guan Xuqing guessed that Germany's purpose for holding this event must not be simple.

"And Austria-Hungary, England, France, Spain, America"

"Call William II back in my name, and I will definitely attend." Guan Xuqing handed the telegram to Li Hongzhang. Germany and China are political allies, so you must participate in this event to see what William wants to do. The world The war is imminent, let's take a look at the situation in Europe by the way.

"My minister Zhang Mengheng kowtowed to the emperor." A thin official knelt in front of Guan Xuqing.

"Mengheng is back." Guan Xuqing immediately recognized this person as Zhang Mengheng, the envoys to Spain, the United States, and Peru.

Guan Xuqing asked Zhang Mengheng about the situation of the Three Kingdoms, and he was especially interested in the American political system, and Zhang Mengheng got everything right.Guan Xuqing also saw a foreign boy kneeling beside him, and felt strange, so he asked about the boy's background.Zhang Mengheng said that the boy was an American named Roosevelt. His father was an active figure in the diplomatic and business circles, and his mother was also a celebrity from the upper class.Due to the close relationship between Zhang Mengheng and Roosevelt's parents, this time at the request of his parents, he made a special trip to bring Roosevelt to China to increase his knowledge.

Could it be that this young man is the future American President Roosevelt?

"Watch the seat." Guan Xuqing asked Zhang Mengheng and Roosevelt to sit down like never before.

Zhang Yinhuan leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting the seat. This child can't speak Chinese yet, so Rong Chen can interpret." Little Hoover looked at Zhang Yinhuan in confusion.

Guan Xuqing shook his hand, and asked about Roosevelt's family situation in English.

This surprised the two of them, especially Zhang Yinhuan, who opened his mouth wide and looked at the emperor in disbelief, staring blankly speechless.

Roosevelt was fine. The teenage boy wore a long robe and mandarin jacket, which looked rather funny, but perhaps because of the majesty of the royal family, he was a little nervous, and he bowed to the emperor to answer.

Guan Xuqing chatted with Roosevelt in English and learned more about his hobbies.Roosevelt was a very shrewd boy with a special interest in geology and engineering.Guan Xuqing's words also slightly showed the same interest as Roosevelt. Roosevelt was even more happy.

Guan Xuqing said to Zhang Yinhuan: "Zhang Aiqing doesn't need to be cautious. I know that most foreigners are like this, and it's because of their nature. I don't feel responsible. I like this child very much, so you don't have to blame him."

Guan Xuqing and Roosevelt talked more and more speculatively, and finally agreed with him to use the form of Chinese royal funding for him to study in the best universities in the United States.Roosevelt couldn't believe his ears, the great emperor of the Chinese Empire would be so amiable, and he would promise to help him at the first meeting.He happily thanked him repeatedly, Zhang Yinhuan motioned him to kowtow to thank him, he respectfully kowtowed a few times, when he got up, he found that his eye circles were a little red, presumably he was really moved.

"Son, study hard, I believe you will be able to become the President of the United States in the future." Guan Xuqing smiled and patted Roosevelt on the shoulder.
