Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 729 Competition of Strength

Zai Tao went on to say: "Spain is not as good as Britain. They have a small number of elite troops. It is impossible to send too many to Iran, and they cannot stop us. With the Iranian plateau in hand, not only can they indirectly control the Arabian Peninsula. If everything goes well If things go well, I estimate that the Iranian plateau can be obtained within three months and handed over to the Iranians for their own defense. Our troops can withdraw from the Iranian plateau and join the defense of the southern part of the Turgai plateau. Maybe we can also bring some Iranian troops to join our combat ranks. The more cannon fodder, the better, it is always good for us. This is my brother's Middle East strategy."

Zaifeng suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Brother Emperor, we are almost ready for the Beijing Olympics. The Indian war has been delayed. Now my brother wants to play, can we still watch the Olympics?"

As soon as the Olympic Games was mentioned, Guan Xuqing regained his energy immediately, and said loudly: "Do it, why not? Didn't India hold the Commonwealth Games before the war? This time for the Olympic Games, not only will there be a gymnasium in China, but also a sports hall in the country." India set up a branch venue in Delhi, the capital of India, and then ordered people to start construction immediately, striving to hold the Olympic Games next summer."

"Okay, after I go back, my brother will start to deal with this matter immediately."

Zaiying found it new, so she asked, "What's the matter with the Olympics? Could it be possible to make a lot of money?"

Zaifeng replied with a smile: "You, you are all thinking about making money, and you don't even know about the Olympics. The Olympics is an international sports meeting that includes a variety of sports hosted by the International Olympic Committee. It is held every four years. The earliest origin In ancient Greece, it got its name because it was held in Olympia. It is hard to say whether it can make money, but many countries use this kind of sports event to achieve their own ulterior purposes. Since the first Olympic Games, although all countries have responded , but once it was their turn, they all excused that they had no money to build venues. Therefore, due to the lack of funds of the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic Games was just a show. Friendly countries took this opportunity to communicate. Strengthen Unity, but the athletes of hostile countries are full of gunpowder on the field. After a sports meeting, hostile countries often become more hostile. Therefore, France withdrew from the Olympic Games. Then Italy refused to hold it in Rome because of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions The Olympics. Germany even directly prevaricates with financial difficulties, and only Britain finally agreed to hold the Olympics in London, but after the Indian war, the British have no intention to undertake it, and the Olympic Committee has no choice but to ask China to host it again and again.”

Zaiying nodded and said, "I thought it was some kind of fun. It turned out to be a political game played to ease conflicts. What's the point of not being able to make money. We don't even need to join it. Now we still need to spend money to host the Olympics?"

Zaifeng pointed at Zaiying with a smile and said, "What do you know? The empire's national power is booming and its international influence is increasing day by day. We should hold the Olympics to promote the empire's culture and demonstrate the empire's national strength! Let me tell you that it is not so easy to bid for the Olympics. It was originally planned to be held in Berlin, Germany. However, the domestic economic situation in Germany is very bad. Of course, it is not interested in hosting the Olympic Games. The Olympic Committee suddenly died of illness and announced that it would give up the right to host. Unexpectedly, Sweden made a request to the International Olympic Committee, hoping to host the Olympic Games on its own land. In the end it didn't matter, so it was the turn of the UK, and the result was stillborn. The IOC felt guilty for not inviting the Empire to host the Olympics last time, and they knew that the Empire is now powerful , the political situation is stable, and it accounts for one-third of the world’s population, so we hope to pass on the international Olympic spirit to China through the Olympic Games, so that 6 million Chinese can share the Olympic spirit.”

Zai Xun said: "Hosting the Olympics is a good thing, so all preparations must be made. Although the construction of the venues is basically ready, but the Indian war has just ended, and the time is still a little tight. My brother thinks that if necessary, additional funding for the Olympics can be invested."

Zaifeng said: "The emperor has already given enough money. To host the Olympic Games, a large stadium needs to be built around Gyeonggi. According to the previous Olympic Games, it will cost 7 million dragon coins to accommodate 120 people, but the emperor ordered To make this Olympic Games the most successful in history, coupled with the enthusiastic participation of the people of the empire and the enthusiasm of people from all over the country to buy tickets, so a rough calculation, the number of participants plus tourists from all over the world will not be less than one hundred Therefore, this stadium can accommodate at least 10 people, so if there is no 200 million dragon coins, such a stadium cannot be built.”

Zai Xun said: "How can we have [-] seats? It's too petty to set up [-] seats for China's [-] million people. After the Olympic Games in the future, our country will also hold a National Games to enhance the quality of our people."

"That's right," Guan Xuqing said, "After the Olympics, we will start to popularize fitness for all. The Olympic venues will not be built in vain. The Olympics are not easy. The competition of strength and the number of medals on the field represent the strength of a country. National quality level, the former Qing Dynasty left 2000 million opium addicts, the national physical quality is not as good as the nationals of European and American countries, and there is a long way to go to improve the national quality!"

"What the emperor said is true!" Zai Tao said: "However, with the [-] million citizens of the empire, it should not be difficult to select hundreds of outstanding athletes! As for the competition rules and events of Europeans, although Chinese people are not good at them, I believe that the empire There are a lot of talents, there must be no shortage of candidates in this area, even if you can't get the first place, it shouldn't be a problem to win the silver and bronze medals."

Guan Xuqing thought for a while and said: "Since we are the host, we must send invitation letters to all countries in the world. We will try our best to let them come and join, and even many small countries cannot afford the expenses, so we have to pay in advance." Invite them to come. In short, the scope of the competition should be large, and each country has its own characteristic sports, which can be used as competition events. This is an indispensable step in establishing the image of a great country after the war.”

Zai Xun smiled and said, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid there are other reasons? If you guessed correctly, you are going to take this opportunity to add some special sports of our Heavenly Kingdom to the competition, so that other The country also understands the customs of the Chinese Empire."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "Half right, I just want the empire to get more gold medals."

Zaifeng said: "Brother Huang is still worried that our athletes can't compare with foreigners?"

Guan Xuqing sighed: "That's true. Europeans and Americans are born with strong bodies. Compared with strength, we may not be their opponents. Therefore, we can only defeat them in skills. There are not many skills competitions, and the content is not Chinese. We are good at it, so by expanding the competition, we will have a chance to win the gold medal. If we can’t win the gold medal in our own country this time, where will the empire’s face go?”

Of course Zaifeng knew his emperor brother, for many years he was an emperor who would never admit defeat, and he never fought unprepared battles, everything was planned before action. "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will definitely organize this event well and never let the empire lose face."

Guan Xuqing nodded and said, "Fifth Brother Lao is responsible for everything."

Zaifeng said: "It's not too late, my brother will call the International Olympic Committee to discuss the time of the Olympic Games." After finishing speaking, he bowed to the emperor and said goodbye.

Zai Tao asked: "Brother, the Rothschild family really lived up to their trust. They made a template for the British pound in half a month, and it was more realistic than the real one. It is very important for the financial markets of Liverpool and Manchester. Some of them have been released, the British are being overwhelmed by the Indian War, they are not prepared at all, and they have not noticed it at all, and now we are waiting for your order to see when they can be printed in large quantities and released to the British market."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "It's a bit interesting what you said. No matter how well you do it, it can't be more real than the real thing. It will be launched in the near future, but I will not only launch it in the UK on a large scale, but also in the United States, Australia, Switzerland, Western countries such as New Zealand, Denmark, Spain and other large-scale investment have completely broken the credit system established by the British pound for hundreds of years, making the British pound a pile of waste paper!"

The victory of the Battle of Mumbai marked the complete removal of British forces from India, and the entire India was divided into five countries: the Mughal Empire, the Kingdom of Telugu, the Kingdom of Maratha, the Republic of Bangladesh and the Tamil Empire.Before the smoke of the Great War had passed, the Chinese Empire took the lead in holding the "Eight-Nation Conference" in Delhi. These six countries included China, India, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Denmark. Representatives from all parties gathered in Delhi to discuss the future of India. The fate of China is actually a discussion. In fact, the sharp knife is firmly in the hands of China, and it depends on how to slaughter the poor Indian Ah San.

Although the New Crusaders are incapable on the battlefield, they are quite capable of making noise at the conference table. The forces of all parties are arguing to maximize their interests in India. Although the Group of Six led by the United Kingdom failed, but They also want to retain as much of their own interests in India as possible through this meeting. In order to compete for this interest, the Group of Six countries does not care about the friendship of the allies. If they want to win more from the other party, if Gu Weijun, the chief representative of China and the vice minister of foreign affairs, were not present, I am afraid that the representatives of these countries would fight each other on the spot.

Gu Weijun was also confused by these people. The entire eight-day meeting was spent in the midst of quarrels. In the end, Gu Weijun got angry and took out the decision-making document that had been drafted in India. It's all dead, will China distribute some of the fat sheep it gets to the enemy? It's a joke.

At this time, the "Greater China Federation" led by the Chinese Empire controlled more than 80% of the Asian land. The only force that could not reach it for the time being was the Middle East, which was small in size but buried with huge wealth!
