Li Hongzhang's attitude was to make Emperor Hua tough. If it really didn't work, come back without the support of European powers. If the time comes, ignore the British. Let's see what they dare to do?

This is completely contrary to Zeng Jize's attitude. Zeng Jize's attitude should still have more contact and deal more with politics. At least, we should give the British a step to see if we can "procrastinate" for a period of time first.

Li Hongzhang's attitude is tough, Zeng Jize's attitude is dragging, and Emperor Hua is facing a new choice.

The train arrived in Bucharest. What Emperor Hua did not expect was that Grand Duke Carol I actually came to the train station to greet him in person!

Emperor Hua stood up with a smile and took Yakoterina Krimova's hand. The girls were so envious.

"I didn't expect that your foresight was right! It seems that Grand Duke Carol I really attaches great importance to my visit this time!" The cute president's mood suddenly improved.

Zeng Jize was not unhappy. He just expressed his ideas. It is a good thing that Grand Duke Carol I could attach importance to Emperor Hua’s visit!

In 1853, Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire under the pretext of protecting Orthodox believers, and Britain and France supported the Ottomans to fight Russia. The Crimean War broke out, and Russia was defeated due to backward technology and transportation.

Romania was dismembered by the Russians.

In 1859, in order to check and balance Russia and prevent it from moving south again, France encouraged the two Ottoman vassal priests Wallachia and Moldavia to merge into the United Principality of Romania. In 1877, it broke away from the Ottoman vassal independence and reorganized into the Kingdom of Romania.

Of course, it is 1879 and has not yet become the Kingdom of Romania, and it is still in its infancy, but Carol I is already in power.

Although the Romanians successfully restored their country more than 200 years later, this was not the result of their own struggles, but the product of compromise in the game between the great powers in the Balkans. In the eyes of Britain and France, Romania was just a buffer zone between Russia and the Ottomans, delaying Russia's expansion in Southeast Europe and the Mediterranean.

The distribution of Slavs in Europe shows that Romania is not only a place where several major powers compete, but also among the three major Slavic nations. The Romanians consider themselves to be descendants of the Romans.

At this time, the main Romanian body was stagnant due to the long-term development of the Ottomans of its suzerain and was far away from the center of industrialization and modernization in Western Europe. Although Romania had a large amount of food and oil resources, it was poor and weak, and was unable to recover the remaining Transylvania (ruling from the Austro-Hungarian Empire) and Bissabilaya (ruling from the Russian Empire) in Greater Romania.

From 1859 to 1878, with the establishment of the country and the influence of the nationalist trend in Western Europe, Romanian nationalism began to flourish, and Romania's modernization and the political goal of establishing a unified Romanian nation-state were gradually established.

Transylvania, a multi-ethnic mixed place under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as the Romanians contacted other ethnic groups and later political oppression of the Romanians under the rule of Hungarian aristocracy, the Romanian national consciousness of the native Romanian speakers gradually increased, and they were eager to break away from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and merge with the independent Romanian kingdom.

A large number of Romanians were still under the rule of Austro-Hungary and Russia. However, under another lost land in Greater Romania, Bisarabia, the Russianization policy achieved certain results in the upper class. Romanian landlords were rusted under the influence of the policy of winning over. Russia opened up senior government positions to them. Although the majority of farmers were minimally affected, they also had little concern about ethnic issues.

Map of Pisarabia under Tsarist Russia in 1883, so the Romanians in Pisarabia generally did not have a strong sense of breaking away from Russian rule and returning to Romania.

Emperor Hua crossed the Danube from Bulgaria to the south of Romania, headed north to Bucharest, and then went northwest through several historical "famous cities" and "ancient castles" and finally left Romania on the border of Hungary.

During the journey, Emperor Hua felt the "anomalous" of Romania more. From its founding of the country and the formation of the Romanian nation, he could see its uniqueness and uniqueness.

Many European countries have hundreds or thousands of years of history, but Romania's history is only more than a hundred years short. Before the mid-19th century, Europe did not have the country of Romania.

During the Middle Ages, there were three main small countries in this region: Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania.

The first two small countries are often controlled by the Ottoman Empire of the Muslim Turks, and the third (Transylvania) has been ruled by Christian countries such as Austria, Hungary, and Germany.

The city of Oradia in western Romania was once ruled by Austria, Hungary and other countries, and there were many Hungarians among the residents.

Romania is located at the intersection of east and west, and is connected by north and south, and has many different ethnic groups. These are the Romanian gypsies.

After the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire gradually weakened, and Russia became stronger due to the reforms of Peter the Great. A series of wars broke out between Russia and Turkey. Russia wanted to compete for exports to the Black Sea and to control the small Balkan countries.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, there were many wars between Russia and Turkey. The most famous one was the Crimean War, during which Western powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Austro-Hungary also intervened in the battle here.

In the geopolitical game in the Balkans, there are mainly three forces: Türkiye, Russia, and the West.

The Turkish Ottoman Empire declined and disintegrated. Russia and the West wanted to occupy the space left by the Turks. Romania, located in the northern Balkans, was born in the cracks of the game of powerful countries, and three small countries combined into Romania.

Emperor Hua waved: "Come."

Wang Zhankui immediately leaned over, "Your Majesty."

"From now on, you cannot relax your vigilance. All members of the visiting delegation should not talk to others at will. All foreign affairs activities will be directly responsible for Princess Katrina Kaif, and I." President Meng said softly.

"Okay." Wang Zhankui hurriedly agreed and went to inform Zeng Jize.

Wang Zhankui didn't know why Emperor Hua suddenly gave such an order. However, Emperor Hua had a purpose in doing things, and it was not his turn to ask.

After hearing Wang Zhankui's reposting Emperor Hua's order, Zeng Jize was slightly stunned. He was originally responsible for these matters. He is the highest diplomatic official in China in Europe?

Even if His Majesty comes in person now, he should have come forward. Although Princess Katrina Kaifu is very tall in the officialdom of China and even has a mysterious status, the people outside only know that Princess Katrina Kaifu is His Majesty's female secretary. Even the secretary-general cannot surpass himself as a foreign minister, right?

Although Zeng Jize was a little depressed, he said immediately: "Okay, when you encounter problems, I will notify Princess Katrina Kaif and the President's Secretariat as soon as possible."

"Yes." Wang Zhankui saw that Zeng Jize was a little unwilling to accept it, but he didn't say anything and left.

The reason why Wang Zhankui has been able to continue to gain the trust of Emperor Hua in recent years has a lot to do with Wang Zhankui being good at being a person and doing things. At the beginning, Wang Zhankui was just a brave and unscrupulous young man, but after staying with Emperor Hua for a long time, Wang Zhankui became less talkative. Moreover, he had to report to Emperor Hua. Emperor Hua said what to do, and he would do it without saying a word. From then on, Wang Zhankui's position with the president became increasingly stable.

There must be one person around every emperor who can do such a job well, but there are not many people. Wang Zhankui is the best among them.

The reason why President Meng did this is not because he distrusts Zeng Jize, but because Carol I, Emperor Hua, had never had contact with this Jean before. Even the China and the Kingdom of Romania only started at the end of last year, and both sides were in a situation where they were ignorant of the roots.

After seeing the Bucharest area strengthening its guard work, Emperor Hua did not know what Carol I came to, so he arranged this way.
