Steel Dynasty - Chapter 910

[Chapter 908 London]

London, Tulip Palace.

This is the palace where Queen Victoria lives and works. Prime Minister Murphy arrived here early in the morning.

“Ms. Milly, please tell the Queen that the guests from Great Chongqing have arrived, and the MPs are waiting for her now.” When the palace housekeeper appeared, Murphy couldn’t wait to say, because in his opinion, this matter was very important.

Before Milly could speak, a graceful woman in costume came out of the room. She was Queen Victoria, who inherited the throne at the age of sixteen.

“Viscount Murphy, I have not forgotten this important matter. Let’s go and see what the scientific level of Great Yu is like?”

Victoria Mia has pure golden hair and a fair face like winter. Snow, with her red lips as blazing as fire, Murphy couldn’t help but be entranced every time he saw her.

“Yes, Her Majesty the Queen.” Murphy withdrew his eyes. He now has a family, otherwise he has no doubt that he would surrender under the skirt of this beautiful queen, just like many young nobles in London now.

The white domed carriage belonging to the Queen had stopped in front of the castle gate. Murphy got on the horse and followed the Queen’s carriage to the House of Lords on Benjamin Street, where the British royal family, nobles and parliamentarians were waiting for them.

“Viscount Murphy, are all French scholars really dead?” Entering the clean bluestone streets of London, Victoria thought of the news she had just received.

Britain is too far away from Great Chongqing. When she learned about this, more than half a year had passed.

“I’m not sure. It’s hard to believe what the French guy said. After all, our current relationship is not harmonious at all.” Murphy frowned.

After the French Revolution, French capital merchants ruled the country. They used the steam engine technology stolen from Britain. French industry developed rapidly and its national power became stronger day by day.

For Britain, this is definitely not good news, so frictions between the two countries continue. During this period, France’s intervention in the North American War brought the two countries to a freezing point. If it were not for their common interests in Asia, they would Will not choose to cooperate.

“So, the scholar from Great Chongqing may be alive, which is really bad news.” Victoria raised her chin and looked at the black smoke column outside London. These were factories using steam engines for production.

After concealing it for seven or eight years, steam engines were no longer a secret to Europe, especially since the Dutch purchased reciprocating steam engines from Great Chongqing, which made the technology they worked so hard to keep secret cheap.

So in order to earn the residual value of the steam engine, the House of Representatives decisively decided to sell the steam engine to other European countries. Anyway, they would be able to get it from the Great Chongqing sooner or later. Instead of doing this, it was better to earn it themselves.

Under the threat from Great Chongqing, those who originally opposed the use of steam engines also shut up, because Europe encountered a real enemy for the first time in the world. This country was already using steam engines to build an industrial country.

So how could the noble Anglo-Saxons lose to the indigenous peoples of Asia? They have a more solid industrial foundation, more talents, and a more open academic atmosphere.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, steam engines were used unimpeded. Factories emitting black smoke columns appeared in every city in the UK, and the number of industrial products they produced increased day by day.

The only regret is that they found that this was not enough, because what the Dutch saw in Great Chongqing really surprised them.

When passing by the Thames River, Murphy looked at the bustling streets. Today, Britain is as full of energy as the sun at the beginning of the day. Every British person will be confident in the future until they encounter a setback in Asia.

“This is indeed a very helpless thing, but at least we got a living scholar.” Murphy said with a smile.

The two arrived at the House of Lords while talking.

At this time, the British royal family, nobles and parliamentarians had already arrived. In the middle of the House of Lords were standing two people from Great Chongqing. At this time, a dozen famous British scientists were surrounding them and asking something.

“Your Majesty, today is such a good day.”

An older nobleman with gray hair stood up. He was the Duke of Paston, now the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

“It is indeed a good day.” Victoria said with a smile. She took her seat. After years of fighting with the Conservative Party after taking the throne, she now controls the real power of the United Kingdom through the Liberal Party.

The Duke of Paston was her uncle, he held an important position in the Liberal Party, and she had always thought highly of him.

“Your Majesty, we figured out the artillery shells and rifles of Dayu a month ago. I have to say that their designs are amazing. Just a change in the shape of the bullet makes the gun more powerful, and this kind of artillery shell is more powerful. It’s exquisite.”

After Paston, a middle-aged man stood up. He was from the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and they were responsible for cracking the technology from Great Chongqing.

“Baron Cordia, I think bullets are one problem, but rifling is another problem.” Murphy shrugged. Cordia has a high status in the British academic world. This scientist who is known as an all-rounder designed a Series machinery.

“Of course, this was difficult before, but with steam engines, rifling is no longer a problem, and I think we should replace the old flintlock muskets.” Cordia said.

“We cannot be left behind by France and the Netherlands. It is said that the Netherlands has purchased a large number of muskets from the Great Chongqing Kingdom. What makes us most ashamed is that the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom arrived in Europe in the name of escort, and then Return grandly, shouldn’t the ocean be the backyard of our Royal Navy?” Victoria looked serious.

He looked at Cordia, “I’m afraid we have fallen behind Great Yu in science and technology, but now we still have a chance to catch up. It all depends on you, for the benefit of the British Empire.”

“For the benefit of the empire. “Everyone said in unison.

Now they face an obvious problem, that is, an eastern power is rising, and the most fatal thing is that they have the ability to sail to Europe.

Victoria nodded slightly. She looked at the two traitors from the Great Yu Kingdom in front of her and said, “As long as you can teach us your skills, I am willing to grant you titles, castles and manors in the name of the Queen of England. You The greater the change it brings to Britain, the more it will gain. “

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” the students, one tall and one short, said gratefully. For their own interests, they betrayed their own country and saw the prosperity and strength of Britain. , the shame gradually left them, and now they are eager to integrate into this new country.

For them, the price of betrayal was enough.
