Chapter 301 Transformation
Li Zhaoyu was not in a good mood at first, but seeing that the two best brothers were so kind, they actually chose to go to the cocktail party. After hearing Li Zhaoyu's decision, Li Zhaocheng was surprised: "Brother, if you are tired, let's take a break first."
"Why, I can't go. Do you two have any other arrangements?" Li Zhaoyu asked back.
William also said: "I finally felt willing to relax. Zhaocheng, what are you doing?"
Li Zhaocheng said: "I'm not afraid that my elder brother will be unhappy when he sees the bright lights and beautiful wine at the cocktail party."
"Forget it, do you think I'm the same as you? You may need to eat steamed buns and pickles for three days, I don't need it." Li Zhaoyu smiled and joked.
"What steamed buns and pickles?" Little William was just a fun thing when he heard it. He liked to listen to stupid things and stupid things undertaken by Li Zhao the most.
It was during the Spanish throne war, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force went to the city of Paris, while the Li Zhaoyu brothers traveled to the Netherlands. In Amsterdam, the two saw the tragic life of the people at the bottom of the country and the working class in pure capitalist countries. They were very touched, and they didn't want to eat or eat.
Looking at the people at the bottom and then looking at their extravagance, Li Zhaocheng felt very guilty. He felt that drinking a sip of red wine and eating a bite of foie gras is a serious crime. He vowed to start with himself and start with small things and live a simple life. He believed that only by empathizing with the people at the bottom could he achieve something. As a result, he would eat steamed buns and pickles for three consecutive days, but he only survived for three days. In the end, he could not bear the temptation of delicious food and surrendered to an inauthentic hot pot restaurant in Amsterdam.
"Haha, Zhaocheng, you are so interesting. We are all people who do big things. What's the use of such trivial things?" William said after hearing this story.
In fact, none of the three people were extravagant people. The imperial royal family had no extravagant traditions, and their daily lives were only a bit particular, especially private life. And William was also such a person. He strictly required himself to the standards of a knight. In the army, he only enjoyed the same treatment as a military rank. In Prussia, fighting with his father who liked luxury was also his daily work.
Obviously, Li Zhaocheng believed that his brother had been traveling overseas for so long and had seen too many ugliness and misery. Compared with the bright lights and green wine at the cocktail party, he was prone to rebellious mentality. You should know that this cocktail party was held by King Rong, and it might be a good idea to smash others' intestines. King Rong is the brother, so everything is easy to say. The key is this a diplomatic occasion.
The three people reappeared at the cocktail party. Li Zhaocheng and William both had military uniforms, while Li Zhaoyu wore a dress. In contrast to what Li Zhaocheng was worried about, Li Zhaoyu was elegant at the cocktail party, and he also invited Zelenko's daughter to dance, showing the demeanor of a noble and elegant royal family.
After the celebration of the cocktail party, the peace talks about the Great Northern War ended. The next step is to supervise the implementation of the peace talks clauses. Because there are too many differences on the establishment of the League of Nations, the League of Nations cannot count on it for the time being. Therefore, Li Su advocated that all countries that advocate joining the League of Nations should work together to expand peacekeeping security forces, maintain order, establish a ceasefire line, and supervise demarcation issues.
This has been recognized by all countries. In the Little Ukraine region, this model has emerged, and cooperation between countries is still very pleasant.
However, this time the scale of the peacekeeping security forces expanded again. Nine countries including China, Putrajaya, Ukraine, Switzerland, Russia, Britain, France, Netherlands and Austria announced their participation, and the Ottoman finally caught the last train and formed the security forces of the ten countries.

The train whistled and drove rapidly over the Dagu River Railway Bridge. The so-called Dagu River is the name of the Don River in the Empire, but people still call it the Don River in daily life, but in landmark buildings, they still use the name destined by the Empire.
The lower reaches of the Dagu River are now the land of the Empire and the Ukrainian Federation, and the railway has already reached Donbas. Now, the railway from Donbas to Zaporoze is also under construction. This railway is a loan provided by the Empire. In addition to expressing support for the Ukrainian Federation, the most important thing is to use this project to attract the Slavic ethnic groups in Xijin and solve the problem of labor gathering.
"It should be said that the biggest loss of this peace talks is that it did not border the territory of Prussia and Ukraine, otherwise we could build a railway from Xijin to Berlin." King William said with great regret on the return train.
Zelenko shook his head. Ukraine had already founded its country and had half of his life's wish, so he no longer dared to ask for too much. If the peace talks are not successful, Ukraine will not be recognized by major countries in one day. In comparison, the bordering issue is not important at all.
But now that the country has been founded, he also feels that it is a regret. Zelenko said: "You have also seen the situation in Poland, and you should say that there are opportunities in the future."
"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future, your opportunities, mine." King William said with a smile.
Zelenko smiled and said, "Yes, both of our countries have opportunities. China may not care about this opportunity. They care more about the League of Nations."
"Yes, the League of Nations is very important, but it is even more important to China." William echoed.
Facts have proved that these countries that are friendly to the Empire are not as important as the Empire to attach more importance to the League of Nations. The reason is actually very simple. With the war of inheriting the throne in Spain, the Empire took the opportunity to take over France's colonies in North America, and the empire's overseas expansion basically came to an end.
The empire also successfully dominated the world order. In a situation where there is no way to advance, the most favorable situation is to maintain the current situation. The League of Nations is a very good tool. On the contrary, emerging countries such as Prussia and Ukraine are completely different. They still have a lot of room for growth and have a great desire to expand. Therefore, if the League of Nations can serve their expansion, it is good, but if the League of Nations has side effects, they will eventually abandon the League of Nations.
But it is undeniable that under the empire-led world order, countries like Prussia cannot rise without the support of the empire, but Prussia must also have its own independent policy. Therefore, on the way back, William's country and Zelenko gathered together to discuss the possibility of an alliance between the two countries.
In fact, both Prussia and Ukraine wanted to form an alliance with the Empire, but the Empire did not want to form an alliance with them.
If the empire forms an alliance with Prussia, Ukraine, and Sweden, a powerful military alliance group will form in Europe, and Russia, Austria, Britain, France and other countries will also establish similar alliances in order to confront it. Then the empire's interests in these countries will not be obtained, which is equivalent to entering the zero-sum game.
It is precisely for this reason that the empire neither wanted to form an alliance with these countries nor to form an alliance between them. Therefore, when in Xizin, Zelenko and Prussia did not discuss this issue effectively.
"Where is the Crown Prince, I haven't seen him."
Affiliation with Prussia has common interests, such as dealing with Poland and Russia, but it will also anger the empire. Zelenko himself did not have the power to independently formulate Ukrainian foreign policy, so he could only communicate his wishes with King William, and not talk too much, so he took the initiative to distract the topic.
"He stayed in Xijin and celebrated a Chinese New Year," said King William.
Zelenko smiled and said, "I really envy you for having such a good son who can be like brothers and sisters with the princes of the empire."
Zelenko said this sincerely, and King William was also satisfied with the envy of others. In this peace talk, the crown prince performed very well. In the military operation against Russia, Prince William was also very outstanding. William could hardly find out what the crown prince had. In the Eastern society that values human feelings, maintaining good personal relations with the imperial royal family is very important for cooperation between the two countries.
Xijin is the fastest-growing big city in the empire. The urban area is getting bigger and bigger every year, and the city is becoming more and more prosperous. As an industrial city, the most important thing is factories. Generally speaking, factories will set off a large number of fireworks during the Chinese New Year. As early as ten years ago, when Pei Yuanqi was in charge, he arranged factories in Xijin City. The unit organized fireworks meetings during the Chinese New Year, which added some fun to Xijin City.
"I thought you would go out with that daughter of Zelenko to watch fireworks and ice sculptures."
In the camp, Li Junwei fiddled with an exquisite toy. He looked up and saw Li Zhaoyu coming back and said with a smile.
"Mr. Zelenko's family has returned to China." Li Zhaoyu replied, waved his hand, and the two attendants carried the big box by.
"Zhao Cheng and William went shopping. Haven't you always dislike shopping?" Li Junwei asked when he saw the big wooden box.
Li Zhaoyu replied: "Father, this is a book I borrowed from the library of Xijin University. Because I can borrow more during the annual leave."
Li Junwei looked through several books, all of which were related to law. This kind of boring book was something that Li Junwei didn't like to read. At this time, William and Li Zhaocheng also came back, and happily talked about their experiences today. Seeing the book box in front of Li Zhaoyu, William said: "Brother, you don't want to be a judge, right?"
"There is nothing wrong with learning some law knowledge. After the Chinese New Year, you will go back to China with me. After returning to China, you still have to go to school." Li Junwei said.
Li Zhaoyu asked: "Father, can I learn law?"
"Whatever, your uncle and I will not limit your subjects." Li Junwei said.
"Uncle Yu, I'm very curious, what subject did you study when you were young?" asked Little William.
Li Junwei laughed: "I am well-educated in ancient and modern times, and all things are understood."
Li Zhaocheng gave Xiao William an elbow and whispered: "My father has never been to school and has not graduated from high school."
"Uncle Yu may not have to study in school by nature," said William Little.
Li Zhaocheng asked: "Dad, you said there is no restriction on subjects, so can I go to military academy?"
"Of course." Li Junwei replied.
Li Zhaocheng was startled by this straightforward answer because he thought this would be a difficult question, because going to the military academy would mean military power, which is a bit special for the royal family. Although Li Zhaocheng had been working in the army during this period, he was only a non-staff member.
"You don't have to think too much, just learn something you like. It's better to be good at studying than to be hard to learn. Don't be like me, thinking that the textbooks in college are Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, and what calculus is." Li Junwei shrugged and comforted his son.
"I really envy you for doing what you like." Little William said with emotion.
As the crown prince of Prussia, his life has been determined. His education is royal education, military academy education and aristocratic education. Whether he likes it or not, he has to accept these. Lee Junwei said: "William, you have no choice, but if you do it well, your children can get the freedom you cannot get."
William nodded and packed up the things he bought with Li Zhaocheng. Li Junwei left Li Zhaoyu and asked: "I heard you are writing a report. Is it the matter about Panama?"
"Yes, I have done this year. The emperor and uncle support me very much. I must give him an explanation." Li Zhaoyu said.
Li Junwei said: "Actually there is no need..." Speaking of this, Li Junwei was worried that it would undermine his son's enthusiasm and said: "Or, don't pay too much attention to reports. If you want to do things, you should learn to communicate directly with your boss, rather than through text reports. This kind of thing can be written, but more importantly, after returning to China, you will face your uncle directly."
While talking to his son, Li Junwei looked through the books in the box. Most of the books on it were legal books or papers, while the number of books on it below made Li Junwei even more impressed. Li Junwei saw these categories and said, "Zhaoyu, you are looking for a way to save the world."
"Yes, Panama and my entrant, I have a lot of doubts and a lot of unwillingness. I hope to find a way to solve these problems." Li Zhaoyu dared not hide it and said honestly.
Li Junwei nodded: "It is of course a good thing for you to have such ambition, but the proposition you chose is really too big. Can you solve the problem that cannot be solved by human civilization for thousands of years?"
"I know, I can't do it, but I have to do something." Li Zhaoyu insisted.
Li Junwei smiled and said, "Of course, of course, you are very thoughtful and motivated. This is very good. I don't mean to stop you."
Li Junwei knew his son. Since his two sons followed him abroad and came to Europe, he felt that both of them were eager to do something, and they had to prove themselves and contribute to the people of the world. But when they went deep into the bottom, they realized that they were really limited in their abilities and had very little knowledge of what they could do.
