  (Thank you readers for reminding me that the previous chapters are really repeated, and new chapters have been deleted. The promised weekends will not be discounted. Please recommend and collect. Thank you.)

  San Francisco Bay Area

  From the hillside, you can overlook the blue bay. This is an upper-class residential area, row upon row of high-end residences, with beautifully manicured gardens and fountains, which are elegant and quiet.

  The noble residential area in the Oakland Bay Area is across the sea from the downtown area of ​​San Francisco and embraces a beautiful bay. Now there is no cross-sea bridge connection between the two places, and it is necessary to travel between the two sides by ferry.

  Generally speaking, it takes more than 20 minutes to arrive, and the traffic is very convenient.

  Sir Robinho is an old nobleman from France, because of the outbreak of the bourgeois revolution in the country, he moved to North America.

  Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he might be put on the guillotine, beheaded with a single knife, and join the ranks of thousands of unlucky nobles who were liquidated.

  The mansion is a light gray two-story French palace building. It looks graceful and luxurious, dignified and elegant, full of romantic feelings unique to France.

  The door is open

  Sir Robinho and his wife led the whole family, servants and slaves, dressed up to greet them. Such a big scene attracted the attention of neighbors.

  The neighbors are all curious, what secrets are hidden in Sir Robinho’s house?

  The mystery will soon be revealed...

Three luxury carriages stopped at the gate of the mansion one by one. From the carriage, a young man with a tall oriental face, with a bodyguard and secretary by his side, was dressed in an elegant and decent gown with an English high-top hat on his head. , Looks like a noble gentleman.

  The two parties met at the door and looked at the courteous enthusiasm of Sir Robinho and my lady. If the young man in the east hadn't helped him, he would have almost knelt down and kissed the ring on the young man's hand.

  This scene made the neighbors of the upper class society scared and speechless.

  According to the noble etiquette handed down in the Middle Ages, nobles generally kissed ladies.

  But there are exceptions;

  When the nobles saw the king and queen, they knelt down and kissed the ring on his majesty's hand, expressing their surrender.

  When the king and queen met the pope, they knelt down and kissed the pope’s finger, expressing their obedience and devotion to the pope.

  The young man in the East is obviously not the pope, so the remaining noble status is ready to come out...

  Everyone is not stupid. The upper class neighbors were trembling with excitement by this amazing discovery, and they started to find ways to find out the identity of the mysterious Oriental.

  It is impossible to keep secrets in this era, and people do not have the awareness of keeping secrets. Little by little of the mysterious Dongfang boy is quickly unearthed.

  This afternoon, I took the Oriental Viking cruise ship from Australia to Queensland, deposited a huge sum of 180,000 pounds in Citibank, and a large number of subordinates arrived on the same ship, one by one looked sharp and sturdy.

  The most shocking news was heard from the coachman of Sir Robinho’s house. This oriental boy is a descendant of the royal family from the mysterious country of China.

  Of course, it’s the front.

The suffix    has been ignored by everyone gorgeously. The news spread like wind in the noble residential areas, and soon became unpopulated.

  I don’t know how to spread it. The young man named Li Fushou from the East became the prince of the dynasty.

  It was like a huge boulder dropped from the calm water surface, causing earth-shattering waves, and even San Francisco across the Bay Area shook.

  There was an endless stream of noble lords visiting the house of Sir Robinho. The carriages lined up for a long time, but they were all refused to visit.

  This time, the upper class celebrities can be itchy;

  This **** French guy, this guy who should go to the guillotine, didn’t know what **** luck he had, he actually caught up with the indescribable descendants of the royal family of the East China.

  It’s especially annoying that we didn’t even let us in to see His Excellency the Crown Prince.

  A group of old European aristocrats and high-class people are emotionally upset. Looking at this posture, there is a strong sense of enthusiasm for tearing Robinho to pieces.

  Everyone cares about their identities and is too embarrassed to do too much.

   did not wait long

  The arrival of Ben Lewis, manager of Citibank, caused another commotion.

   "Mr. Ben-Lewis, what the **** is going on?"

   "Damn Robinho pretends to be a tortoise with his head at home, why not let us in? The noble ball I hosted, every time he opened the door to welcome him, he treated me like this..."

   "Yeah, we need to hear an explanation. You understand the situation and speak clearly in person."

  "What is it clear? It is so obvious that Ben-Lewis and Robinho are wearing a pair of trousers. They are all trying to prevent us from seeing the incomparably noble Eastern Royal Family. I want to expose your despicable conspiracy."

   Surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic upper-class people, Ben-Lewis can feel his weight rise sharply, and this feeling of being valued makes him a little airy.

   "Gentlemen, quiet, please quiet."

Ben-Lewis opened his arms and pressed it down, pressing his stomach a little, and said; "I know exactly what happened. I arranged for the 180,000 pounds in cash to be deposited in Citibank. Mr. Li’s royal identity is also unmistakable. A large number of his men also arrived at the same time, and I can confirm all of these.

  But gentlemen, please pay attention to your demeanor. There are too many people here, it is impossible to swarm to see you.

  I suggest choosing a few people of high morals, not too many, three or four, and I will accompany you to meet you. "

   Before he could say anything, he was immediately interrupted by the turbulent noise.

  "Fart...what a respectable person, Lao Tzu is a respectable person. My family is in Florence, Italy, with a history of more than 400 years..."

  "Why do you prevent us from seeing you? You should not decide the rules."

   "That's right, I can't control others, but I must go to see the royal prince. I have brought 20 barrels of superb wine from the estate."

  "Bah, you, a wine merchant who smells like copper, want to see you too. It's disgusting."

   "What are you talking about? My ancestors used to be knights."

  Everyone was arguing in a mess, and no one would give in. Ben-Lewis was helpless when he saw this, his head was as big as a fight, painful and happy.

At this moment

  Congressman Mr. Fischer squeezed out of the crowd and took Ben-Lewis's hand and said enthusiastically; "Dear Ben, I want to kill you."

   "Uh... Fischer, don't you live in the San Francisco Bay Area?"

"I'm a well-informed member of Congress. What can you hide from me in Florida?" Fischer boasted triumphantly, and suddenly took Ben-Lewis's hand and whispered quietly; "Man, we are Gary The alumni of Folia University, the close teammates of the Rugby team, the relationship is different from ordinary people, and I will take me in later, I..."

  The University of California is located on the outskirts of Oakland. It is a well-known university under the jurisdiction of Oakland. It is the original site of the famous University of California, Berkeley.

  This era

  As the western end of the Central Pacific Railway, Oakland is a world-class deep-water port. Trade and industrial development are very prosperous, far surpassing San Francisco.

  After 10 years of gold mining, San Francisco’s gold resources are gradually depleted, which has led to a bottleneck stage of development.

  This was originally a seaside town, which rose because of the gold rush and declined because of the exhaustion of gold resources.

Seeing Senator Fischer’s courteous appearance, Ben-Lewis rolled his eyes and smiled, and said with a gentle expression; “Actually, the honorable Mr. Lee may be willing to meet with you. Due to the need for the restoration of the country, he hopes to send some of his men away. After entering the U.S. Naval Academy, I contacted the board of directors through Citibank. Several members of Congress who have a close relationship with Citibank are willing to provide letters of recommendation..."

   "Wait, have you reported this matter?"

   "I haven't had time yet, I am preparing..."

"Don't... Dear Ben, wait a minute, I can personally issue a recommendation letter, and I can also contact other members of the party to issue a recommendation letter. This is not a problem. As a distinguished member of the Eastern Royal Family, I believe the U.S. Naval Academy will not Reject these foreign students."

   "Fischer, I heard Mr. Li's tone, it seems that I am not planning to arrange many undergraduates at a time, the number may be only a few."

"How can I do it?" Fischer gave an expression that I thought of you; "Maybe Mr. Li is not clear about the specifics below. The U.S. Naval Academy has many departments, command departments, navigation departments, guns and guns, and poles. Mine and torpedo system, navigation measurement and control system, etc. more than a dozen majors, how can it be enough to send a few people for further study? To form a new fleet as soon as possible and complete the great cause of restoration, at least 20 people must be trained at a time, and it will last more than a dozen. Even if your Excellency Mr. Li doesn't understand for more than 20 years, we are obligated to answer his questions."

  Looking at the other's righteous expression, Ben-Lewis was secretly proud, and he achieved the goal with a little trick.

  Many things have been like this throughout the ages. The children of American civilians are unattainable, and the enrollment quota of the US Naval Academy, which is regarded as a treasure by the children of aristocracy, is now thrown out as worthless.

  This is the dragon son of the noble Oriental royal family. If you speak, the US government will also give you a thin noodle. What are the quotas for a few schools?

  If you can build a relationship with this, the benefits will be great. At least it has a higher right to speak in the relationship between Eastern empires and Asian issues, and it has extraordinary significance for political career.

  The location of the station is different, the angle of viewing the problem is completely different.

  Compared with these huge benefits, what is the number of recommended places for several schools, including the United States Naval Academy and West Point Military Academy, members of Congress have recommended places every year, generally no more than two.

  Many members of Congress did not use this privilege for a simple reason;

  The parents of the students they want can't give them, and the parents of the students don't like them, so they simply give up the right of recommendation.

  Look around the world

  From Europe to Asia, there are all monarchies large and small. The emerging capitalist countries such as the United States, Argentina, and France are lonely. They are completely regarded as outliers and are treated as scourges in Europe.

  Baby feels bitter, but don’t say it.

  Self-isolated Monroe doctrine has been practiced for half a century. Don’t Americans want to strengthen exchanges with Europe and Asia?

  Of course I do, but others don’t want it!

The Third French Republic was established in 1870. Paris is the center of the revolutionary trend of thought in Europe. Anarchism, utopianism, utopianism, and capitalism can all find their living conditions here, and they are the bad boy in the eyes of all European monarchies. , The object of strict precautions.

  Fisher is a member of Congress, but he does not know more about Oriental Shenzhou than others. He only knows that it is an ancient and time-honored Oriental civilization, vast and rich in area.

  The Chinese dragged a ridiculous pigtail behind their heads. They paid thousands of lives for the construction of the Central Pacific Railway. They impressed them as being practical and hardworking, with a docile and introverted personality.

  Oh, yes, there are dragons that can breathe fire.

  As for the others, I don’t know if I ask three questions, they are all done with brain supplements, and there is no one left.

  The arrival of Li Fushou, there is a poem that vividly describes the current situation:

   Fighting for crossing, fighting for crossing, startled a pool of gulls and herons.
