Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1127

[Chapter 1116 Expansion of Influence]

“What the hell is this?”

In the early morning, Hanks bought a copy of “The Times” as usual. When he opened the newspaper, the first thing he saw was “Brooker’s Diary” occupying the entire page. ”, this diary describes in detail what Brooke saw during his journey to the Eastern Empire.

“It’s incredible, isn’t it?”

As Hanks was concentrating on reading the newspaper, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

“Jess, did you read the newspaper too?”

Hanks asked. He and Jess were both businessmen who had been trading in Asia for many years, but they had been warned not to go to India since the war started.

“Of course, this is really a magical country, isn’t it? If we can transport a shipload of goods back from the Eastern Empire, we will definitely make a fortune.” Jess said with great excitement: “Look at the last page of the newspaper, now we Reconciliation has been reached with the Eastern Empire. The war is over. The Eastern Empire allows us to go to Asia for business. This is an excellent opportunity. Don’t miss it. Remember, in business, the first person eats meat and the second person drinks. Soup, the third person can only eat dirt. “

Hanks’ heart is ready to move, and the businessman’s keen sense of smell makes him feel that this is a business opportunity. Any industrial products from the Eastern Empire will cause a sensation if they are sold here.

“It seems we need to organize a large fleet.” Hanks winked at Jess and smiled at each other.

In a pub next to the two of them, many people were also reading newspapers. Among them, a young man wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat seemed to be thinking about something.

There was a young man beside him. He said to the young man: “Mr. Edlund, you are really a genius. If you give your patent to the government, you will definitely make a fortune, right? Tell those idiots that we have developed a car.” “

Compared with the boy’s excitement, Edlund looked dejected. He said: “You are too happy too early. Although the car described in the newspaper is somewhat similar to our four-wheeled vehicle equipped with a steam engine, the two are not alike. The gap is too big, and the power of the steam engine is too poor. This kind of thing is not as good as a carriage. “Are

you ready to give up after such a long time of research? “The young man is a little unwilling. He is the young man’s servant. .

The young man named Edron said: “The technology of automobiles is in the East. Maybe we should go to this ancient empire to learn humbly.”

The young man showed incredible eyes. After all, this country was once despised by them, but now it is extremely great in their eyes. Edron actually wants to go to this country to study.

“But Mr. Edlund, in order to study steam wheels, you have already bankrupted everything. We have no money to go to the Eastern Empire.” The young man’s eyes were full of pessimism.

“So I’m going to use your method to take this opportunity to sell steam vehicles to the British government. Maybe the officials who were scared to death by the Eastern Empire will lose their heads.”

After saying that, he and the young man laughed maliciously. Get up…

Martial Hotel.

Kang Ming was reading The Times for Hu Chuan, and they were about to go to see the Queen.

“The efficiency of British newspapers is pretty good, comparable to ours in Qingzhou.” Hu Chuan said while arranging his clothes.

After Kang Ming finished reading the content, he said with great concern: “Brook’s diary exposed a lot of things in the empire, which makes me feel very uneasy. Perhaps the emperor should not let these envoys know this information.”

“Your worries are unnecessary, the emperor allows them to visit It is out of confidence in the imperial industry. Even if we hand over all the technology to them, it will take Britain more than ten years to digest it. The technological gap is not so easy to make up.” Hu Chuan was very confident.

His younger brother works in a research institute, so he has some common sense on how to apply knowledge.

Even if the research institute obtains ready-made technical information, they still have to buy different parts from different factories and conduct repeated tests to make the product qualified.

It often takes several months to produce a complex mechanical product.

“After all, there is something wrong.” Kang Ming still muttered, and then he changed his tone, “After this is published, I am afraid that British people will go to the empire one after another. It seems that the work of the embassy will be very serious in the future.”

For Hu Chuan, this is indeed a problem Problem, one of their duties in coming to Britain was to issue visas to British people going to the Empire.

No British would be allowed to enter the Empire without a visa, a policy that would end the era of free immigration.

In addition to the United Kingdom, the ambassadors coming to Europe this time also have this responsibility.

While the two were talking, Brooke knocked on the door and said humbly: “Two envoys, our carriage is waiting outside. Her Majesty the Queen would like to see you.”

“Thank you.”

Hu Chuan followed the local customs, and he and Kang Ming The two followed Brooke onto the carriage and headed to the Tulip Palace.

When they arrived at their destination, they were somewhat surprised to find that the green lawn of the Tulip Palace was already occupied by well-dressed and elegant British nobles.

When they got off the carriage, the nobles who were talking and laughing stopped and focused on the two of them.

But after a brief gaze, these nobles all took off their hats and saluted them.

In the center of these nobles was a woman with blond hair, blue eyes, and gorgeous clothes. Her characteristics made Hu Chuan believe at a glance that this was Queen Victoria of England.

Because he had seen a similar kingly demeanor in their emperor Xiao Ming.

“This is our British treasure, the beautiful Queen Victoria.” Brooke introduced to the two.

Hu Chuan and Kang Ming looked at each other. In their eyes, Westerners looked a bit weird after all, so they couldn’t appreciate the so-called beauty of British people.

But as diplomats, they had received relevant training, so the two of them stepped forward and gave Vidomia a sign of courtesy.

“Welcome to the UK, two envoys. I believe that our nobles and parliamentarians will be happy to learn about the magical stories about the Eastern Empire from you. At the same time, we also need you to explain the contents of the agreement to us in detail.” Wei Wei Domia said.

After a night of thinking, Victoria decided to deal with the envoys from the Eastern Empire in a low profile. Now the British need to accumulate strength to regain everything they lost.

“Of course.” Hu Chuan showed a standard smile. The two of them and Vidomia came to one side of the banquet and explained the specific terms of the agreement to Vidomia.

The congressmen and nobles present at the same time became more and more impatient. Although they felt humiliated by the defeat, they now valued trade and technology more.

This is fundamental to at least keeping the UK ahead in Europe.
