  Red River Valley

  After successively merging the four mythical cities of Qinglong, Suzaku, Baihu and Xuanwu, the entire Red River Valley metropolis has an area of ​​17,320 square kilometers and a population of more than 5.5 million, surpassing London and becoming the largest city in the world.

   Four years later, the total population of the Honghe Valley Metropolis has exceeded 6.3 million people. The Third Ring Road with the urban elevated road as the backbone has been built, and the Fourth Ring Road is being built in great efforts to form a fast and convenient urban transportation network.

   at a busy intersection

  You can see the traffic police standing in the center of the guard post at the intersection, directing the passing vehicles and pedestrians to pass in an orderly manner. There are clear crosswalk lines, road separation lines and stop lines on the road. All cars and pedestrians must drive on the right, which looks orderly.

The public transportation in the busy metropolis is dominated by "ding ding ding dong" trams, supplemented by buses with round heads and round heads. Trucks, cars and jeeps of various brands shuttle on the streets, and there are so many varieties that people can't name them Come, a busy scene.

Under the invisible ground, a spider web-like subway line connects the major urban areas and extends all the way to Brisbane, which is included in the one-hour metropolitan area, which greatly facilitates the two cities. This comprehensive transportation system composed of urban roads, viaduct loops, trams, subway loops, and radioactive railway networks is the largest, most complex and most advanced urban transportation network in the world today.

London, France, Paris, Germany, Berlin, Germany, New York, Fuso, Tokyo, Kobe and other major cities in the world have sent staff to the Red River Valley to study and learn from the experience. The management of millions of large cities is a profound knowledge. If you don't learn from experience, when will you wait?

   These European and American countries send a large number of international students to the world-class Royal Administrative University of Tianshu City for further study, to learn advanced urban management experience and advanced administrative management system, and regard it as the "Australian model" and widely promote it.

  The traffic laws, driver assessment system, license plate system, right-hand traffic system for vehicle personnel, traffic police system, municipal management system, road construction standards, etc. summarized by Ocean Empire are all advanced experiences that European and American countries are eager to learn.

   A lot of experience is invisible and intangible, but after using it, it is wonderful.

  Red River Valley Victory Avenue

Diagonally opposite the Huitong Bank Building is a four-story Chinese-style overhanging building with carved beams and painted buildings. A row of red lanterns hangs under the eaves, which looks extraordinary. An antique gilt gold plaque hangs along the gate, with six characters written on it. Son ~ Yutou Brother Restaurant.

This is the head office of Mr. Yu, the vice-chairman of the Honghe Valley Catering Association. He is a native of Guangdong Province and one of the first gold diggers to settle in the Red River Valley. At that time, it was called Hongshan Town. One is called Christ Town, which is the high-end community Christ area where the upper class is now gathered.

  Yuye has opened 16 restaurants in the Red River Valley, the farthest is in Suzaku South District, which is nearly 64 kilometers away from the main store. It is famous for its authentic Cantonese cuisine and is one of the well-known high-end restaurants.

Over the years, Master Yu has made a lot of money and his social status is also respected, but Master Yu is most proud of the landlord who used to be General Marshal Li Shuanzhu. I am afraid that he is getting old and talking about it when he sees the sky. ;

"Thinking back then... When the Grand Marshal just graduated, he was still a hairy guy, a young officer. At that time, I could see that the Grand Marshal was different. He was kind to people, and he was very disciplined and measured when he spoke and acted... "

   "The Marshal likes to eat my steamed buns the most. He likes to eat both meat stuffing and vegetarian stuffing. His appetite is really good. He can eat 10 of them at a time."

   "I still remember the day the Generalissimo left. When I came down from the upstairs, my whole body was glowing. I knew it at a glance. This is a harbinger of prosperity..."

   "Master Yu, why didn't you go with the Grand Marshal at that time? Even if it's just a horse and a stool, at least you can come back with a noble title?" Listening to Master Yu's chatter, the hotel shopkeeper interrupted with a smile.

Master Yu proudly touched the gray beard under his jaw, and said with a wide eye, "What do you know, little monkey, when the young master was still young, your aunt was pregnant with another one, plus a large group of folks from the mainland. When I first came to Australia, they all pointed to your fish master to settle down. When I left, their sky fell, how can they take care of it?"

   "The commander has become so successful in the future, can you go to join him?"

   "Hey, the handsome man didn't say anything, but didn't I open this Yutou Ge Restaurant? I'm as busy as a gray grandson every day, taking care of the old and taking care of the young, so many years have passed in a flash."

   "Master Yu, if you want to marry fewer concubines, you won't be so busy."

   "Hey, you little monkey dare to be happy with the fish master, believe it or not I will break your leg with my crutch?"

   "Ouch, I don't dare any more."

   The shopkeeper laughed and ran out. After a while, he came back with a stack of newspapers and said with a dignified expression: "Look at the fish, the newspapers say that the war in Europe has started, and now it's over."

   "Oh...I'll take a look." Yu Ye's expression also became serious, he took the newspaper in his hand and began to read it carefully.

Opening up people's wisdom is a policy that the Ocean Empire has been insisting on for decades, and education for all is the top priority. Therefore, the literacy rate among the people of the Empire is very high. There are more than 110 newspapers, dozens of radio stations, and information transmission. Very convenient.

   In general

Most of the first-generation immigrants were illiterate, but the second-generation natives of the empire had more than 90% of the five-year education, more than 60% received the eight-year education, and more than 12% received the higher education of colleges and universities. , belonging to the social elite and the mainstream of the growing middle class.

  Yu Ye only learned a few words in the literacy class at the beginning, and his education level was very low.

   Later, the business grew bigger and bigger, and he was forced to study hard for a few years. There was no problem in reading books and newspapers and keeping accounts. He was considered the best among the first generation of immigrants.

  According to "World Journal";

  After the incident in Sarajevo, the German Emperor Wilhelm II made a promise to the Austro-Hungarian Empire that he would unreservedly fulfill the obligations stipulated in the military covenant, send a large army to fight when needed, and support any decision of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

  This made the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph I confident, and on July 24th, he presented an "ultimatum" to Serbia, ordering Serbia to fully accept all the conditions for violating sovereignty, otherwise he would send a large army to completely destroy the country of Serbia.

  The Serbian government accepted all the clauses except Articles 5 and 6, which violated its own constitution and undermined sovereignty, and chose to conditionally accept the conditions set out by the "ultimatum", and at the same time began the general mobilization of the war.

  The Austro-Hungarian Empire formally declared war on Serbia on July 28 because Serbia did not accept all the terms, and the First World War broke out.

  The warring parties were divided into two camps, the Allies headed by Germany, Italy and Austria, and the Allies headed by Britain, France and Russia. After the outbreak of the First World War, it was divided into two fronts, east and west;

  According to different geographical locations, it is divided into the western front where the armies of Britain, France, Belgium and other countries confront the German army, while the Russian army confronts the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German army in the east.

   On July 30th, Russia and Austria-Hungary began to mobilize for war.

   On July 31st, Germany issued a "double ultimatum" to France and Russia, indicating that the world war had entered the final countdown stage, and a war affecting all of Europe was inevitable.

   On August 1st, France and Germany began to mobilize for war, and Germany declared a state of war with Russia.

   On August 2, the German armored forces entered Luxembourg, kicking off the war.

   On August 3rd, Germany declared war on France, and Britain began to mobilize for war.

   On August 4th, Germany declared war on Belgium and Great Britain declared war on Germany.

   On August 5th, Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia.

  …

Yu Ye read the newspaper with a dignified expression on his face. After putting it down, he fell into deep thought without saying a word. The hotel shopkeeper made a cup of fragrant tea and put it on the table. So wait patiently for a while.

   in a moment

Seeing that Yu Ye was in a trance and a little tired, the hotel shopkeeper was a junior of the Yu family, and the relatives were not far away, so he finally couldn't help but ask; "Yu Ye, it looks like a war is about to happen, do you have any? It may cause chaos in the world, do you have any rules for the old man?"

   "Ah... what?" Yu Ye immediately woke up a little bit.

   "I mean the war is about to start, what do you think?"

"Oh... this, I heard that Europe is on the other side of the world, and no matter how much we fight, it won't hit us. Whether we should do business or do business, whether we should be happy or happy, anyway, there are today's saints and marshals to see. What's more, we have always been the only ones who bully others. You didn't hear the guests who came to eat, whether it's an American or a small book, seeing us only respectfully, this is the dignity of the empire. "

   "You keep saying, it's just... what were you thinking just now?"

"Oh... just now, I'm a little confused when so many countries go to war. It seems that there were British guys and French guys eating in our hotel before, but there were very few Russian guys. I'm tired, I have to find a place to squint for a while."

   Hotel shopkeeper; "…"

   Well, I'm just asking this more.

   "That eldest young master?"

The words of the hotel shopkeeper immediately reminded Master Yu that his sleepiness disappeared immediately, he stood up and turned his hands around with an anxious expression, then stopped, looked at the hotel shopkeeper with a steady gaze, and said, "Eldest young master now Borneo service, shouldn't be sent to Europe?"

  How does the hotel shopkeeper know about this?

   He looked at Master Yu with a bit of timidity. The two of them stared at each other for a moment. The shopkeeper of the hotel suddenly had an idea and reminded him, "Master Yu, do you think we are the ones who declared war?"

"Yes!"

  This reminder, Master Yu immediately reacted, and immediately picked up the newspapers and read them carefully. After searching and searching, he couldn't find any news that the Ocean Empire had declared war, and he finally breathed a long sigh of relief;

  It's okay, it should be fine.

   The Ocean Empire has fought a lot of wars over the years. Seven years ago, when it fought against the United States, the Ocean Empire also declared war, and it was published in the newspapers. This is not a mistake.

   "No war was declared, which means it has nothing to do with us."

"That's not necessarily true, Master Yu, you see that there is still Britain in the middle of the war. This report says that the Fusang people will also participate in the war, which is not far from us! With our relationship with the United Kingdom, how can we say, It is also closer than with other countries, a good man has three gangs, this is not possible!"

   "Little monkey, what are you trying to say?"

   "I mean, if we want to help the British, then..."

   Hearing what the hotel shopkeeper said, Master Yu couldn't stand any longer. He rubbed his hands anxiously and said, "What should I do with this? The eldest young master is an officer. If we really want to fight, how can we be without him?"

   Yu’s eldest son is Yu Hongyun. He is a captain and company commander of the 4th Division of Kalimantan.

  According to the words of Master Yu;

   All of those boys together are not worth half of the boss. In the future, the old Yu family will rely on the eldest young master to honor the ancestors!

   "Would you like to... send a telegram to ask?" Seeing that the owner was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and looked at a loss, the hotel shopkeeper gave an idea.

   Master Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his thigh and said, "Quick, what are you still doing? Go and send a telegram to the eldest young master. If you don't ask the truth, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

   Hotel shopkeeper; "…"
