Steel Dynasty - Chapter 940

[Chapter 935 Schroeder’s experiences]

in Dengzhou.

Schroeder looked at the steam locomotive and his heart beat unsatisfactorily. He had been stimulated enough in Dengzhou these two days.

Before coming to Dayu, he had never paid much attention to Dayu until the Dutch brought back steam engines from Dayu and spread the prosperity of Dayu throughout Europe.

This made King Felix II of Prussia tempted. Especially after he learned that France and Britain had stolen more advanced technology from the Great Chongqing and produced more advanced firearms, he became increasingly unsettled.

After all, Prussia is currently weaker than France. If they fall behind again in firearms, they will lose more of their voice in Europe, and the unification of the German Federation will be far away.

It is precisely because of this that the Prussian mission arrived. They believed that Da Yu now needs an ally in Europe, and that they will be more reliable than the Dutch.

“Everyone, please take your time to visit. The news of your arrival has been sent to Qingzhou by the last steam locomotive. It is estimated that there will be a reply in the evening. If everything goes well, you can arrive in Qingzhou tomorrow.”

Next to Schroeder is the current president Luo Xingyi, the governor of Dengzhou, was once Yang Chengye’s most effective recruiter. After Yang Chengye entered the cabinet, Luo Xingyi was appointed as the next governor of Dengzhou under the review of the cabinet and was responsible for the government affairs of Dengzhou.

“Thank you, Governor Luo, you are such a good person.” Schroeder looked grateful.

They had very little preparation for their trip to Dayu. Even when they arrived in Dengzhou, they did not have anyone who could speak the language of Dayu to be responsible for communication.

If it weren’t for the large number of translators in Dengzhou’s Foreign Affairs Office, they might have failed this time.

Luo Xingyi stroked his beard and smiled. Having been in Dengzhou for a long time, he was already familiar with the Westerners who came to Dayu to do business, but this was the first time for him to see Prussians.

According to the information he has, Prussia can only be said to be a small country in Europe, with a status similar to that of the Netherlands.

However, the Dutch navy is slightly superior, and the Prussian army is stronger. Therefore, unlike the United Kingdom and France, countries like Prussia can expand their power to Asia and can only have some small territories in the Americas and Africa.

“It’s a trivial matter. In this case, the envoy can visit slowly. I have important matters, so I can’t accompany him. Naturally, someone from the Foreign Affairs Office will accompany me.”

Luo Xingyi cupped his hand. As the governor of Dengzhou, he was very busy.

Since the railway was connected to Dengzhou, the development of Dengzhou has been rapid. Now a large number of businessmen choose to build factories in Dengzhou.

In this way, their goods can be transported to Goryeo, Wa, Samsan Kingdom and Ryukyu via merchant ships as soon as possible.

The influx of a large number of businessmen is certainly a good thing, but it also brings many development problems to Dengzhou, all of which are considering his ability.

In addition, the strength of the Great Yu State makes him very confident now. He just treats Westerners with a normal attitude. The foreign affairs office of these missions is responsible for them, and he does not need to ask any questions.

The reason why he came here this time was just a normal etiquette procedure.

Before arriving in Dayu, Schroeder was still conflicted about Dayu. After all, all Europeans now believe that Europe is the center of the world and that this world should be ruled by white people.

Even though wars continued in Europe, this idea was deeply ingrained, but now everything in the Great Chongqing country completely subverted his ideas.

From the moment he got off the boat, he noticed all kinds of new things along the way, including warships emitting black smoke on the sea, fishing boats using huge trawlers, soldiers carrying advanced firearms, and various exquisite industrial products on the market.

Everything here has destroyed the European image of Dayu as a land full of gold, but the natives are ignorant.

After watching Luo Xingyi leave, Schroeder was still not satisfied. He took a deep look at the steam locomotive, and then asked officials from the Foreign Affairs Office to take them to visit the factories and even the naval base in Dengzhou.

Schroeder spent the entire afternoon in constant shock. The popularity of steam engines and the use of various magical machines in Dayu made him dumbfounded.

Returning to Dengzhou City with a shocked mood, they got the news in the evening that they could take a steam locomotive to Qingzhou to meet him tomorrow.

“Prepare our gifts to the Emperor of Great Chongqing. This time we will establish a long-term relationship with Great Chongqing. The stupid British and French people, their misjudgment will be our opportunity.” Schroeder Full of confidence.

The next day, they were woken up early by officials from the Foreign Affairs Office.

Carrying his gift, Schroeder boarded the steam locomotive headed for Qingzhou under the guidance of officials.

Sitting down in his seat, Schroeder looked out the window nervously. At this time, a dense flow of people was squeezing from the platform to the steam locomotive, which surprised him.

Because he realized that the use of steam engines and locomotives in Da Yu seemed to be a common thing.

With this thought in mind, the steam engine locomotive slowly drove forward after making a loud whistle. Schroeder no longer thought about this, but looked out the window with all his heart, while experiencing the increasing speed of the steam engine locomotive.

As the scenery in his eyes flew past, Schroeder finally couldn’t help but exclaimed, “This is really a magical country.”

Amid the roar of the train, six hours seemed to flow very quickly, and he set off in the morning , they arrived at Qingzhou Station in the afternoon.

Following the flow of people and arriving outside the platform, Schroeder’s eyes instantly widened. Compared with Dengzhou, Qingzhou’s prosperity is completely different.

Especially when he saw someone riding a two-wheeled iron frame on the street, he couldn’t calm down. He thought this was extremely weird.

However, the accompanying officials obviously didn’t want to explain any more and took them directly to the palace.

After a brief briefing, they were taken to a beautiful garden.

In the center of the garden, a young man in bright yellow clothing was waiting for them, and around him were some serious-looking officials.

“Your Majesty, these are the envoys from Prussia.” The official from the Foreign Affairs Office bowed and said.

Xiao Ming nodded and asked directly: “What are you doing here as envoys to come to Great Chongqing?”

Schroeder is also a person who has seen the world. He often travels to various European countries and is used to meeting in person. A person of high authority.

He said: “Dear Emperor of Great Chongqing, we are envoys from Prussia in Europe. We are here to establish stable trade relations with Great Chongqing. We hope that the Emperor of Great Chongqing will agree.”

“Prussia? That one on the Baltic Sea coast? Country?” Xiao Ming asked, he was not sure about Prussia’s situation now.

After all, contemporary historical records are useless, as countries around the world develop differently.
