Chapter 535 The long year has finally passed
Chapter 535 The long ten years have finally passed
On April 1888, 4, the Hailing Olympic Games closed successfully, and the Daxia team won the absolute first place in the total number of gold medals.
However, this first place is quite watered down. It's not that the referee cheated, but that the athletes from Daxia's vassal states all joined Daxia's national team.
The British Empire, which was equally vast and populous, had its colonies compete as separate nations.
William II saw the meaning of this most clearly. The old world leader's control was declining and only an empty shell remained.
Humph, if I only need one more blow from my axe, this big tree might fall down...
At the closing ceremony, the trophy for the last competition will be awarded.
The last event was men’s football. The Daxia team won all the way and performed very well, but lost to the Australian team 1-2 in the group stage and advanced as the second place in the group stage.
Unfortunately, they missed the penalty in the quarter-finals and were defeated by the dark horse team Tuji in the last minute. Now the champion is the South Slav Red Star team.
As the host, Shao Quanzhong will personally present the award to the champion. He doesn't really care who wins or loses. This thing is just for entertainment and to make the people happy.
"Report to the Marshal——"
Le Sen rolled and crawled towards Shao Quanzhong, and whispered in Shao Quanzhong's ear, "The latest intelligence is that Waldersee launched a blitzkrieg attack and invaded Poland."
“他们出动了58个师、2800辆坦克、2000架飞机和6000门大炮，正在以每天60公里的速度突进。”
Shao Quanzhong shook his body, let out a long breath, and his eyes went dark. Finally, the fight has finally started. I have waited too long. How much have I fed Waldersee in the past ten years? It has been so hard for me...
"Master, the winning athletes are ready. Please come on stage to present the awards."
Hearing Ping'er speaking Beijing dialect with a standard Yangzhou accent, Shao Quanzhong calmed himself down and walked up to the podium. However, he was not careful and fell to the ground.
Shao Quanzhong stood up quickly without anyone's help. But now that it was being broadcast live around the world, it would be a lot of fun. Maybe there would be rumors that the Emperor of Daxia was in poor health.
Ping'er followed closely behind Shao Quanzhong, and when she came to the place where Shao Quanzhong fell, she suddenly lunged forward and also fell.
He stood up, pointed at the place where he had fallen, and whispered something to the waiter.
Ping'er's fall also attracted the camera. The audience watching the live broadcast understood that the organizing committee was negligent in its work and the platform was not level.
Dongmei, the chief director of the Olympic Organizing Committee, patted the back of her head and said, "I have personally checked this podium. There is no dent or damage anywhere. How could Sister Ping'er fall there?"
Seeing Dongmei looking puzzled, Le Sen behind her shook his head and sighed.
Ping'er was able to climb back to the position of Queen Xigong despite having made a huge mistake.
You, Dongmei, have been in Qiao Garden for nine years. Now you are 25 years old, but you have not been taken into the Marshal's room. Shouldn't you reflect on your emotional intelligence?
This Olympics ended a little late, with only five days left before the Paris World Expo, but the opening of the Eurasian Continental Bridge and the Zeppelin train made this not a problem.
The representatives of the vassal states formed the upper house of the Senate, and the speaker was the father-in-law of the emperor, Yung Wing. This time, Yung Wing represented Daxia and took the European princes and nobles on Shao Quanzhong's special train to Paris to participate in the Paris World Expo.
William II did not go to Paris. After receiving the news of Waldersee's blitzkrieg against Poland, Britain and France, as allies, immediately declared war on Germany.
Shao Quanzhong discovered that not only he was good at declaring war but also Britain and France were just as good at it.
The British army successfully entered France, but remained silent on the Western Front, watching the war in Poland.
The idea of Queen Victoria and Alfonso I was that if Waldersee could get the Danzig Corridor and connect it to East Prussia, they would be satisfied. If possible, the two sides would cease fire and talk slowly.
Like the last European war, where millions of people died, everyone is afraid of death.
Only Shao Quanzhong knew very well that war cannot be avoided just because you want to.
I know best how powerful Waldersee is now. The British Empire has occupied such a vast colony, but there is no corresponding military protection. Waldersee is jealous. Poland alone cannot satisfy his appetite. The guests of the Olympics have all left. Shao Quanzhong hosted a banquet for the organizing committee members in Caiqing Hall, Qiaoyuan, including the host Dongmei, French Baron Coubertin, Greek Prince Constantine, Greek Princess Alexandra and dozens of others.
Shao Quanzhong was particularly happy today. The world needs peaceful development, but as a general with a beard and a warlord background, the most painful thing is that he has no war to fight. I have endured for ten years, okay? These ten years are really too long.
Finally, the European war has started again, and I have another chance to fish in troubled waters. It's so boring to watch Tesla playing with flying saucers all day long, do you understand?
The Europeans started fighting, and today Shao Quanzhong finally relaxed, returning to the mode he was familiar with and liked.
In his joy, no one forced Shao Quanzhong to drink, but he drank all the wine in the cup. He drank so many glasses of Maotai that he was drunk without realizing it.
In a daze, I heard Ping'er behind me giving orders, "The Marshal is drunk, Dongmei, come here, help the Marshal go back to rest."
Shao Quanzhong only felt someone lifting up his left arm and his hand resting on a strong and straight waist.
He was drunk, but not confused. He knew that Ping'er was taking the opportunity to help Dongmei.
Alas, his own harem was enough, and Princess Sissi and the five concubines often visited Qiao Garden, so he had no intention of accepting Dongmei.
But Dongmei had no intention of looking for someone else. She had already announced her identity as "Prince Rui's concubine" to the public very early on. Who would dare to make any plans against her?
Time flies, and nine years have passed in a flash.
Forget it, just accept it. After all, Dongmei is now a high-ranking official at the ministerial level, and a well-known figure in the world sports world, so it is not like she is eating for free at Qiaoyuan.
I am an emperor. How many emperors in history have only six concubines? I can count the emperors with fewer concubines than me on one hand. It doesn't matter if I add one more...
Eh? Who is the person on the right who is helping me? The hand on my shoulder definitely doesn't belong to one of my concubines... Never mind, Ping'er and Liu Niang are here, so they can't be assassins...
As the alcohol took effect, Shao Quanzhong finally lost consciousness.
……
It is April in the world, when peach and plum blossoms in Qiao Garden are fragrant, it is the most beautiful time.
The spring sunshine shines through the window lattice and into Laiqing Pavilion.
Shao Quanzhong woke up slowly and heard the cooing sounds of turtledoves.
This is the bird raised in Qiao Garden. Its call is gentle and drawn-out, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling. It is very consistent with the elegant style of the old owner of Qiao Garden, Wu Wenxi, and Master Qiao, who passed down poetry and books from generation to generation.
"water--"
Ever since Grant got seriously ill and quit drinking, he hasn't drunk with others like this for a long time.
A cup of warm water was fed to his mouth in time. Shao Quanzhong knew with his eyes closed that it was Wenxiu's work.
Although Wenxiu is a powerful woman outside and a wealthy woman who controls the world's largest financial group, she is a typical feudal society wife at home. She takes care of herself so attentively that even Huier can't catch up.
Yesterday Dongmei brought herself to Qingge.
In Qiao Garden, the two places where Shao Quanzhong stayed most often were Wenxiu's Laiqing Pavilion and Ronghui's French Building. He got drunk in Caiqing Hall yesterday, so this place is close to Caiqing Hall.
At critical moments, the first wife is still reliable. Where is Dongmei?
Shao Quanzhong opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Wenxiu's smiling face.
I pulled my left arm, but it didn't move. I looked to the left and saw Dongmei holding her arm tightly and still not waking up. Alas, it seems that she is exhausted from organizing the Olympics.
Huh? Who is holding my right arm? Shao Quanzhong looked to the right and saw a head of blonde hair.
