In the crazy days …
Suddenly he felt that Thomas and Ollie had shut up, and the two guys looked straight behind him.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Tian asked
"Shh … there’s a beautiful woman coming!"
"Beauty?" Chen Tian turned his head a look.
"Hello, Prince Pavilion!"
"Linda …" Chen Tian’s mouth was wide open.
"I saw someone wearing a student army here. I don’t think anyone except you would come to such a grand dinner dressed like this. It was you! Hehe! " Linda looked back at Chen Tianchen’s silence.
"There was another time when you didn’t want to run away!" Linda blinked and asked, so cute that Chentian was heartbroken.
That’s how girls feel when they don’t know each other. When they get to know you, they will show their true colors.
"Er … congratulations!" Chen Tian said softly with his head down
"Our two countries should be happy about this, shouldn’t they?" Linda noticed that the two guys behind Chentian kept their eyes on themselves. "Why don’t you introduce a friend of yours?"
"oh! Fat is called Ollie and thin is called Thomas, my best friend … er, good friend! "
"It’s an honor to meet you!"
"So do we!"
"Huang Tai, he is not bad!" Chen Tian remembered today and asked with his head down. He didn’t dare to look at Linda just now.
"I think your emperor is not bad! He’s handsome and funny, and I heard he did very well in the army! "
"That’s good!"
"He’s over there. Let’s go!" Linda pulled up Chentian and walked towards the crowd.
Enemies are particularly jealous when they meet!
Chen Tian looked at Huang Tai but had to smile. He felt that his smile must be ugly.
"Cousin, congratulations!" Holding the emperor’s hand, Chen Tian said despondently
"Gigi! It’s you! I almost didn’t recognize you! " But Mrs Huang came with a bear hug.
"Let me introduce you to my fiancee Princess Josephine of Austria!" The emperor took the woman who had just walked by and said, "This is my cousin, Prince Gigi William of East Prussia!"
"Hello, Prince’s Palace!"
"About … Princess Josephine?" Chen Tian is callous
"hey!" Linda poked him aside, and it was only yesterday that he realized that Princess Josephine had put her hand in her hand and quickly bent down and kissed the back of her hand.
After many twists and turns in heaven and hell, I suddenly feel that the whole person is going to collapse.
Linda gently took Chentian and introduced him to the Austrian nobles who greeted Chentian numbly but didn’t remember anyone.
"Linda, do you know? I also want to be with you too much … "Chen Tian suddenly stopped to look at Linda and said.
The hall is still very lively. Thomas and Ollie’s main direction turned into banquet food, while Chentian took Linda to the palace garden.
"The moon is as beautiful today as when I first saw you!" Chen Tian looked up at the sky.
"Yes! As beautiful as our Austrian moon! " Linda nodded her head.
"You know what? I’ve hardly thought about it for a month because I’m going to marry Mrs. Huang! " Chen Tian is very wronged.
"Why don’t you ask me? Princess Josephine is my cousin, but you didn’t see her at the banquet and hunting. She was ill at the banquet and didn’t go hunting afterwards. "
Linda suddenly stopped to look at Chentian.
"Why do you care so much about me? We seem to have seen both sides! "
"Let me recognize you at a glance because of the past life and this life!" Chen Tian looked at her eyes and her face gradually leaned over. Just about to do something good, Linda jumped with a smile.
"Remember to write to me when I get back!"
After the banquet, I had to call a carriage to take the two guys back.
Chapter 15 Set sail
Chen Tian lived in class and training quickly, and it was the end of the century in 199.
I graduated this year.
After graduation, Ollie entered the East Prussian Legion according to their wishes, while Thomas entered the information room of the General Staff, and most of the others entered the military service. One day, they chose to sail around the world for one and a half years.
Chen Tian will take special observers on the naval training ship "Little Medusa" for this voyage. They will leave Kiel Port, Germany, pass through Africa, Asia, Oceania and America, and finally return to Germany. They will stop at German colonies in Africa, Asia and Oceania for a certain period of time.
Chentian sailed on a summer morning.
After crossing the English Channel and making a short stop in Rees, Portugal, Chentian arrived in the first Africa of this voyage. At that time, German colonies in Africa included Tukoran, Cameroon, German Southwest Africa and German East Africa.
In the next two months, Chen Tian went to these major colonies to observe them separately. In his impression, Germany lost these colonies not long after World War I, and it seems that it is a dangerous place to defend, and it is far away from German soil, and it has been replenished by the Allied blockade law, and its industrial roots, France, Britain and France compete with its strength in Africa.
Chen Tian thinks it’s better to give up here for the time being after the explosion of World War I, just like history. If the European War can win, it can be easily taken back. In fact, Chen Tian doesn’t understand the history. The German armed forces in Africa have been fighting between Britain and France until the end of World War I, but the scale is not very large
In November 1999, the famous Boer War broke out just as the "Little Medusa" bypassed the Cape of Good Hope.
Historical Boers, former Dutch farmers, first colonized the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, but in 114, all British immigrants flocked to Britain, and they brought their own laws and lifestyles, thus weakening the Boers. In 135, the Boers migrated to Peking University and established two republics-Oran Free State and Transvaal State. Later, gold and diamonds were found in this land, so adventurers and arrogant financiers flocked to intensify the British colonization in South Africa. The contradiction between the Republic of Guruge and Transvaal President Paul finally gave an ultimatum to Britain in October 1999. On the 11th, the Boer War exploded in O2 in 1999. After the initial defeat, the British army attacked the capital of the Boer Republic on February 16th, 1900, and took Mafujing, a major town in the north, a month later.
On May 31, 1900, Lord Roberts, commander-in-chief of the British army, entered Johnsburg, and occupied Pretoria, Transvaal on June 5. In September, Britain announced the annexation of Transvaal, but the Boer War did not end there. The fierce guerrilla warfare continued until the spring of 19o2.
After the Boer army withdrew from the city, it attacked the British army in guerrilla warfare and destroyed the communication lines. The British army was forced to send more troops to encircle and destroy the Boer guerrillas. scorched earth was burned and destroyed, and Boer civilians were put into the middle camp. At the same time, a large area of barbed wire was built to reduce the activities of the Boer guerrillas. The Boer suffered heavy losses and tens of thousands of people died in the camp. On May 31, 19o2, the two sides signed the Frinihin Peace Treaty. The Boer stopped resisting Britain’s annexation of Transvaal and Orange. Britain gave the Boer economic compensation and oppressed the black people together. After
Chen Tian didn’t take this opportunity to observe the war, but he knew that from this war, many countries abandoned the uniform infantry dense formation and borrowed from the British trench barbed wire tactics. Of course, many artillery made new experiences, but these are all old things for Chen Tian, and what he hopes most now is to usher in the dawn of the new century in China.
In December, 1999, "Little Medusa" arrived at the German naval base in Asia-Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao, Shandong, China.
Finally, Chentian returned to the "homeland" in this memory
When the ship’s rail pedal just reached the dock, he jumped over "China! I am back again! "
Close your eyes and breathe deeply! It’s really angry here …
"wow! It stinks! " Chen Tian opened his eyes and saw a big scooter delivering pigs passing in front of him! It’s too back!
Then he decided to go to the street and see what China was like 1oo years ago.
Walking in the bustling crowd, people seem to have become accustomed to the appearance of foreigners and have not shown any strange expressions. People still drag a long braid behind their heads, which looks almost the same as what they see. There is a large-scale reconstruction project on the roadside. Old China buildings are demolished and Western buildings are built one by one.
"alas!" Chen Tianzheng looked up at both sides of the room and accidentally knocked down a person next to him.
He looked down and turned out to be an old lady with little feet.
"oh! I’m sorry, old woman! " Chentian reached out and prepared her to get up.
"ah! This foreign hair can speak Chinese! " Passers-by stopped to talk.
"Ah … no, it’s not that I didn’t pay attention." The old lady helped her up in Chentian and quickly turned around and left.
It seems that China people here have a bad impression of Germans.
Chen Tian wants to know what the situation is here, but China people seem reluctant to take a reason. He probably can’t ask anything. He returns to the dock angrily.
