Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1011

[Chapter 1004 Questioning]

The scenery outside the window flashed by as the steam locomotive drove by.

Both Brooke and Henry had complicated expressions on their faces. Although there were already rumors about steam locomotives in Europe, seeing them with their own eyes still shocked them beyond measure.

“Woo…”

The train’s whistle sounded, which meant that the steam locomotive was about to enter the station. On the way, this locomotive had already stopped at two platforms, and this was the third one.

Looking at each other, Brooke and Henry looked out the window at the same time. At this time, the trees on both sides of the railway gradually cleared up, and the locomotive entered the outside of a city.

Here, black smoke pillars rose into the sky, emitting black smoke or white smoke. The noisy sound of the steam engine could be heard clearly even when he was sitting in the carriage.

They understood that this was the industrial zone of Dayu, a specialized area lined with factories. They also saw similar areas in the two cities they visited.

“It’s simply terrible. The industrial development of Great Yu is so fast. It is said that a few years ago, factories were only distributed in Qingzhou. Now it seems that every city has its own industrial zone.”

Brooke said, he was appointed by the Queen of England Come to Dayu Country.

Henry, who was sitting opposite Brooke, was from France and came to Chongqing on behalf of France. He said: “We got on the bus from Dengzhou, and five hours have passed and we still haven’t arrived in Qingzhou. This is the most terrifying thing. If this car The locomotive is in France. We have crossed France. What you see now are only three cities. You can imagine how many such cities there are on this land. Fighting against such a country, our country is simply crazy. “

Brook said .

Before coming to Qingzhou, he was still arrogant, but now he suddenly felt inferior.

Sighing, he said: “I hope we can reach an agreement with the Emperor of Chongqing this time, otherwise it will be a real disaster.”

Unlike Brooke, Henry was born in the military and was a soldier before coming here. He said: ” This may be a good thing for France. André’s stupid policies are leading France into the abyss. It’s time for someone to wake him up. “

While the two were chatting, the locomotive had been replenished with coal and water, and the whistle was blowing. It sounded again, and the steam locomotive rumbled forward. They were heading to Qingzhou, the bottom stop of this steam locomotive.

Tang Wenjie sat on the left side of Brooke and Henry across the sidewalk. Although the conversation between the two was very quiet, some words still fell into his ears.

Being proficient in various European languages, he could easily determine the general meaning of what the two said.

With a sneer in his heart, Tang Wenjie said to himself: “The thing that scares you is still to come.”

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the steam engine locomotive slowly drove into Qingzhou Battle. This time the locomotive did not stop at the platform in the city, but at Qingzhou. The new station outside the city, Qingzhou East Station.

As more and more stations are connected to Qingzhou, the old Qingzhou station can no longer handle the huge number of locomotives, so the railway company built a larger

platform, while the old station only docks a small number of trains.

Compared with the industrial areas they passed on the road, Brooke and Henry really opened their eyes this time. Compared with the industrial areas in Qingzhou, other cities were simply insignificant.

There is an industrial zone connected to another outside Qingzhou City, surrounding the entire Qingzhou City.

“Two envoys lead your people to follow me. Be sure not to wander around, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are caught by the guards.” Tang Wenjie seemed to be warning, but in fact he was threatening.

Although Qingzhou’s prosperous industry could not be hidden, he still wanted these people to know less about it.

Brooke and Henry did not dare to be careless. They were among the defeated and it was wise to be honest, otherwise their inappropriate words and deeds would only bring disaster to the country.

Following Tang Wenjie step by step, the group walked along the spacious cement road towards Qingzhou City.

While on the road, the two of them looked at the road under their feet from time to time, and stared at the passing bicycles and tricycles. Everything here was so magical that they were overwhelmed.

When they were about to arrive at the city gate, the two of them were immediately frightened because there were soldiers lining up on the roadside on both sides of their city gate.

These soldiers wore dark green military uniforms and steel helmets on their heads. One hand was placed vertically on their legs, and the other hand placed the musket with a bayonet vertically on the ground.

There are six strange-looking field guns in the middle of the team, but their terrifying lethality can be seen from their appearance.

Henry and Brooke suddenly felt a chill in their backs. This was the Chongqing Kingdom showing them its strong military power, and they also cleared out what these soldiers represented.

It was crazy to fight such a powerful empire in Asia, the continent furthest from Europe.

Tang Wenjie noticed the expressions of the two, and he was very satisfied with it. They had not shown everything yet, and whether they needed to use the things they had not shown yet would depend on their sincerity.

Entering Qingzhou City, Tang Wenjie arranged for the two of them to stay at the inn of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At 3:30, he led them to the palace.

In the Main Hall of Light, Xiao Ming was already waiting for the two of them. For him, sending envoys from Europe was undoubtedly a low profile. They began to realize that they needed to reduce frontal conflicts.

“Brooke, Henry meets the respected Emperor of Great Yu.”

When they arrived at the palace, Brooke and Henry saluted one after another. Then they took out the gift list and read out the names of a lot of luxurious items, such as pearls, gold statues, gems and the like.

Xiao Ming did not dare to be interested in these at all, and just listened. After all, no matter how many gems he had, they were not as practical as a colony.

The two of them finished reading the gift list.

Xiao Ming said solemnly: “Your combined fleet attacked Dengzhou, killed my people, and destroyed my ships. Do you think you can send me away with just some treasures? If you are not sincere, you should take these things back. In addition, The country of Dayu has officially been renamed the Empire of China, and the country of Dayu is in the past. “

Brooke and Henry’s hearts tightened. The Emperor of Great Yu was so aggressive as soon as he opened his mouth, which made them nervous, but who made them defeated?

There was nothing wrong with the emperor speaking like a victor.

Brooke was well prepared. He said: “Your Majesty, this is exactly the reason why we came here. The incident with the combined fleet was entirely because we listened to the Spanish’s instigation and caused this misunderstanding. However, the consequences have already been caused. Now We just want to make up for the mistakes we made this time and hope that His Majesty can calm down. “

Xiao Ming sneered. It is always customary to put the blame on the weaker party. This time Spain lost all its colonies in Asia. They had nothing to sell. scruples.
