Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1096

[Chapter 1086 Negotiation]

“The mission of the Eastern Empire is in Abbas?”

Gumbis looked shocked. He has been awake all night and night, worrying about Ottoman affairs. Unexpectedly, he suddenly won this opportunity. .

Arsasi said: “Ottoman has many marriage relationships with Western countries. They will definitely trust the West more than the Eastern Empire. Even if Saliman insists on his opinion, other nobles will obstruct it, and this will become our opportunity.”

Gumbis deeply agrees, and he still has not adapted to it. When did this world become a arena for Eastern empires and European countries, and where did this put the Central Asian countries.

It’s just that Arsasi collected some information from Persian merchants two days ago. He was also horrified by the power of the Eastern Empire in their mouths.

Now Pamir’s conclusive steel battleship confirms that the businessman did not lie.

“In order not to lose in the war with the Ottoman Empire, we should win the support of the Eastern Empire. Arsasi, we will set off for Abbas tomorrow. I want to see the steel battleships of the Eastern Empire with my own eyes.”

“Yes, His Majesty the King .” Arsasi bowed and said.

The next day, Gambis and Alsasi officially set off, and fifteen days later, the mighty palace team arrived at Abbas.

Tang Wenjie, who had lived on the Zhenwei for a month, was overjoyed when he learned that the King of Persia had arrived in Abbas in person.

The presence of the Persian king in person is enough to show that Persia attaches great importance to the empire, so he is very confident in this negotiation.

“Zi Heng, get ready. Let’s go to meet the King of Persia together.” Tang Wenjie said. After the King of Persia came to Abbas, they received an order to meet him.

In response, Fang Fangheng counted the gifts presented to the Persian king, and then he and Tang Wenjie got off the battleship and entered Abbas City under the guidance of Bohemi.

At this time, Cambis and Arsasi were already waiting in the governor’s house. They crossed the heavily guarded road and soon met the Persian king.

“Your Majesty the King, we are envoys from the Chinese Empire. The purpose of our trip is to establish good relations with Persia.”

After saying that, Tang Wenjie turned sideways. Behind him were wooden boxes. Next, these boxes were opened one by one.

Tang Wenjie said: “This is a gift that our Emperor Xiao Ming personally selected for His Majesty the King. I hope His Majesty will accept it. It is just a small gift!”

When the box was opened, the entire provincial governor’s office seemed to light up. The Persian nobles standing on both sides of the room took a deep breath, and their hearts seemed to be pinched.

Gumbis believed that he had seen countless gems and gold, but he still couldn’t maintain calm after seeing the contents of the box.

He looked at Tang Wenjie, who looked calm, and exclaimed in his heart: Is this a small gift?

After being shocked, Arsasi quickly returned to normal. He touched Cambis’ arm to prevent Cambis from embarrassing himself in front of the envoys of the Eastern Empire. This was his responsibility.

“Please bring my most sincere greetings to your Majesty the Emperor on my behalf. Welcome to Persia, and you will receive our friendship.” Gambis smiled.

His eyes swept over the bright gem-like gift, and then looked at other strange but extremely noble items and asked: “Persian businessmen said that the Eastern Empire is a magical country. In this country, there is no need to eat It’s stupid, but there are steel monsters that can transport tens of thousands of things than camels, and there are many weird but very practical products, right?”

“This businessman didn’t lie.”

Tang Wenjie took out a model from the box. The exquisite glass mirror faced Gumbis, “This is a glass mirror. I can guarantee that there is no glass mirror in any country in the world that is as clear as ours.”

Gumbis saw himself clearly through the mirror held by Tang Wenjie, which made him He was slightly surprised. He had never seen himself so clearly before.

Putting down the mirror, Tang Wenjie asked someone to take out the pendulum clock from the box. The numbers on this pendulum clock were all Arabic numerals.

With a slight smile, he said: “In our country, this is called a pendulum clock. We use the pendulum clock to divide a day into twenty-four hours. The number on the pendulum is the current time.”

Gumbis naturally recognized it. Arabic numerals, he once again marveled at the capabilities of the Eastern Empire.

Next, Tang Wenjie introduced the gifts they brought in detail to let Gumbis understand the use of these industrial products.

After Tang Wenjie’s introduction, the Persian nobles on both sides were even more undecided. In their opinion, even one of these things was priceless in Persia. These gifts from the Eastern Empire were enough to buy ten Abbas.

Although Gumbis was envious of these luxuries, there was still a trace of clarity in his mind, because he always believed that no matter how much wealth there was without the protection of a sword, it was futile.

After expressing his gratitude to Tang Wenjie again, he said: “I believe that your coming this time is not just to give me gifts. It is said that the West is easing relations with the Ottomans and they will soon sign a treaty in Greece. , this treaty seems to be to fight against you.”

Tang Wenjie’s heart sank. He did not expect the West to take action so quickly. He said calmly: “His Majesty the King has misunderstood. To the Empire, the European countries are just a bunch of clowns. , not worth mentioning. The real purpose of our coming to Persia this time is to establish good relations and trade with Persia. At the same time, we hope that His Majesty the King will allow us to exploit black oil in Persia. “

” Black oil in Gambis. He frowned. This kind of black oil is a well-known thing in Persia. In some areas, people often dig up this black oil when digging wells.

Moreover, this black oil was used in many ways in Persia. The road in Ctesiphon was paved with this black oil. In addition, black oil was also used in construction, treatment, lighting and warfare.

There is a projectile weapon on the Persian navy ship, which projects ignited black oil.

“Is this all you want?” Gumbis was a little surprised. He thought that the Eastern Empire would instigate them to fight against the Ottomans and European countries.

“Yes, this is the purpose of our coming here. We are willing to use the empire’s industrial products in exchange for black oil and purchase land to establish an oil mine. We hope that His Majesty the King will agree.”

“Hahaha…” Gumbis suddenly laughed. , “The Eastern Empire is indeed an interesting country. This kind of black oil is everywhere in my country. I can sell it to you, but you must tell me why I need the black oil.”
