War catalyzed technological progress, which was the only benefit this thing brought to the world. As the war in the Far East came to an end, the war in Europe stopped in its infancy under the deterrence of the British huge military force. All countries have discovered that compared with Britain, which has ruled the earth for many years, their countries still have to do a lot of things - such as arms.

Since the local war in the Sino-Russian Far East in 1891, the arms industry has been accelerating its progress. A method was introduced from the American continent to significantly improve the hardness of steel armor, that is, water and cool it immediately after the armor was heated. In this way, the armor of the battleship could withstand more intense artillery fire. In the first half of this year, the engineering and technical personnel of Armstrong Company improved this method to make the elastic resistance more excellent. In order to express their respect to the American on the other side of the ocean, this method was named Harveyfa after the American.

While building three battleships for its ally Japan, the French also discovered ways to change the yield of steel. Incorporating other metals under certain conditions can change the yield of steel, but this is not a controllable process. Technicians at Mediterranean shipyards are studying the mystery. Under what conditions to incorporate what metals to achieve the desired effect, for the French, perhaps they will have to study it for a few years.

Of course, the progress of craftsmanship still depends on the Germans. When the arms business was making a fortune in recent years and preparing to launch his ambitious business plan in the Far East, the technicians of the Krupp Company did not embarrass their bosses who lived in the Krupp Castle Manor. In 1890, they led the world to invent the carburizing method to exponentially improve the elasticity of the armor. In this year, inspired by the German Emperor's plan to build a navy commensurate with the German status, the smart Germans combined their carburizing method with the Harvey method learned from the British, which made the German battleship "Emperor Li Shimin, the Second Empire of China, the resilience resistance of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the second empire of China, which was several times higher than the two Saxon similar ships built for China ten years ago, and much better than the other three of this batch of orders.

This is an era of technological innovation. Fortunately, in this era there is no technological blockade mechanism implemented by later Americans and those countries surrounding Americans. In other words, in this era, as long as there is money, yellow gold and white silver can be spent, everything can be bought. Moreover, in the words of the German who has already lived, as long as there is 300% interest, capitalists are willing to take the risk of beheading. Of course, in the distant China, there is no risk of beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading, of course, in the distant China, there is no risk of beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading beheading besides large sums of silver. Zeppelin's success in China has become a legend, to some extent. Through his genius invention, he changed the result of two wars, which was an epoch-making invention.

Therefore, although Mr. Zeppelin fulfilled his life dream in the Far East and opened a large-scale Royal Airship Company, he was about to return to Germany at the invitation of Emperor William II to contribute his wisdom to the proud Germany. However, from Europe and even the Americas, there were still many inventors or engineering professionals who were unsuccessful in the northern country who came to this distant country to make gold. The scale of the Royal Institute expanded and received funding from the treasury. A large comprehensive institute was built in the western suburbs of Beijing, with various experimental facilities in the west of Beijing. Enzo's Divine Machinery Camp allocated 2,000 people to protect and meet the various equipment and manpower requirements of various foreigners. All the subsidiaries should be borne by the treasury.

I heard that the Japanese chiefs came to apologize, and the people who saw the Western scenery in Beijing almost squeezed out the ancient city. The streets and alleys were full of people, and there was no need to mobilize. The streets of the capital were cleaned cleanly. Beijingers have this kind of characteristic that they like to show their best side in front of guests from afar, so that they can add new topics to their superiority in the eyes of envy or surprise to the distant guests.

Muren arrived in Beijing on the afternoon of September 1st and stayed in the inn at the imperial decree. The next day, the meeting was simple. After that, Muren entered the city. At 10 a.m. on September 2nd, I finally met the monarch who was regarded as the god of the world in the Huangji Hall. Officials of the Ministry of Rites told me that this guy confessed to journalists and Beijing citizens in Beijing in Beijing, and claimed that he was willing to confess to the Chinese emperor the misunderstanding between the two countries before. His act of apology from another country to apologize for the crimes won the great favor of bystanders. The Chinese who are good at forgiving others quickly praised him. "If you have any mistakes, make a good example!" and other cheers are endless.

Of course, I have no intention of torture him. Meeting the emperor has the etiquette to meet the emperor, which is one of the core ideas of Confucianism. The ministers hold rituals with respect and the emperor is kind and forgiving, which is another aspect.

Therefore, I cannot be too unkind. I will send an order to go out and order him to meet him. I will also order the Prime Minister Yi Xin from the Meridian Gate to greet the emperor.

Huo Jin'er was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the banquet with Aiko, who was in a complicated mood, because only then would they have the opportunity to meet the Japanese who represented a different meaning to them. Of course, there were six Japanese sisters in the Cining Garden Women's School.

The interview was carried out according to the process of the Ministry of Rites. This high-sounding ceremony would not have any substantive content. I could see a pious expression on his face, but I would never be so stupid that this Japanese was really convinced by me. The punishment suffered by Japan was taken for granted. This guy probably wanted to exchange himself for my promise.

I noticed that when he was saluting me, he seemed to be attracted by this grand building. After the gentle words and encouragement, it was my edict to show sincerity, which was also a form. The general meaning was to be grateful for the sincerity of Muren, and ordered the expedition forces in the east to stop acting and impose the emperor's kindness in the occupied area.

Then there was a formal arrangement for the banquet for the Qianqing Palace, and the officials and officials above the third rank in Beijing were given a banquet. During the banquet, I arranged Mu Ren to sit beside me and talked with him and discussed the future relationship between China and Japan.

After the meal, when everyone gradually retreated, I began to ask him straightforwardly: "Mu Ren, the Sino-Japanese peace situation is inevitable. You don't need to come to Beijing in person. If you don't come, I will still have a standstill. I can naturally feel your sincerity. But sincerity beyond common sense is fake. What do you think?Mu Ren?"

Muruen nodded and apologized, "As Your Majesty said, the sinner did not need to come to see Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty is so open and honest, the sinner is also telling the truth. Japan cannot afford the result of the loss of the four islands. In addition, after the peace talks, it is expected that Japan will be unable to bear the compensation. If Your Majesty takes kindness and forgiveness as a thought, forgives Japan's past sins, retreats to the country, and can exempt Japan from compensation, the sinner is willing to serve His Majesty in Beijing and atone for Japan's sins."

I had a good plan, and I saw him not speaking, but just smiled slightly, and then said, "You don't have to put all the blame on me. I have always heard people say that the Japanese are generally good, and that those who are enemies of China are just a small group of people. I think otherwise, your more than 200,000 Japanese troops are not a small group of people. Donating money and materials for insufficient military resources, or even donating their bodies is not a small group of people. Since I ascended the throne, the Sino-Japanese conflict has not been once, but has been repeated again and again. None of the times you made a decision by Mu Ren in one sentence. You always have to be a cabinet and the army nodded. If you say you want to apologize, you Mu Ren can't invite so many people's sins alone. I can be kind to you, but if you are an enemy of China and do not repent, I have no reason to forgive you."

"Your Majesty..." Muren was not panicked, and said piously: "China and Japan are separated by water, and cultural exchanges are long and are a country of brothers. Now brothers are fighting against each other, and the Westerners are profitable. Your Majesty, it is important for us to buy the Western arms and spend hundreds of millions of dollars. This is a great mistake for Japan. If such huge amounts of money are beneficial to the people, it is a blessing for the world. Now a big mistake has been made. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be generous and forgive the Japanese people. Muren is willing to die on behalf of the crime." After saying that, he leaned down deeply and knelt in front of me.

Maybe it was because he was talking too quickly, this guy actually habitually talked about Japan. Hearing his plausible quibbling, I gradually lost patience and smiled coldly: "In the future, don't add a big word to the front, it's a small country, and you are arrogant, how ridiculous? I just said that I will punish you on behalf of others. Don't mention it again in the future. You Mu Ren has the crime you Mu Ren should receive. Japan should receive the crime that Japan should receive. I have my own right. I have sent an order to the General Administration Office to allow Japanese officials to come to Beijing to negotiate peace talks. Since you are sincere today, I can issue another ethics and change the peace talks to Japan.

I'm gone, well, I think it's Maguan. The court will also send respected ministers to lead them to show their mercy to Japan. Well, I'm tired today, so you should retreat. Stay in Beijing for a few more days, and I'll see you again before returning home. I advise you that the country cannot be without a king for a day. Japan is in a troublesome situation. You should still be in your own country. You should always be with me. Don't mention it again. From now on, whether Japan survives or dies depends on Japan, not on me. You may not understand this sentence. I hope that someone in Japan can understand it. If you are obsessed with it, it will be self-destruction."

Mu Ren still wants to argue. I shook my hand, raised my eyes and smiled mockingly, "Get off. If you have something to do, I will send someone to talk to you. There will be a ceremony in a few days, and you can watch it. Then I will send someone to inform you."

Since someone guided Muruto back to the inn, he came from a long way to change horses by boat, so he naturally had his purpose. Maybe he wanted to gain sympathy through a bitter meat performance and to exchange for the greatest benefit of his country. Maybe he wanted to make the Japanese feel grateful for his benefits through this performance, forgetting that it was him who brought Japan into this painful quagmire. No matter what, this guy has invested a lot of money this time, and the effect must be significant. I guess if the requirements are too much during negotiations, I guess the negotiating minister will be embarrassed, and the Western countries will have more excuses to interfere.

Of course, I also have bargaining chips. The situation in Europe is not very stable now. Behind this illusion of peace is a crazy arms race. All countries must maintain a balance to avoid taking the lead in the inevitable world war in the future. Therefore, although some people will be dissatisfied with the Far East, as long as there are a lot of interests to feed them, they will know how to choose. This is also the fundamental reason why in real history, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan seized so many benefits from China, and the reason why Western interference came nearly ten years later, and it was the case that Japan infringed on the vested interests of the countries.

As long as the interests can be guaranteed, the great powers are not as rich as there is no place to spend it, and those with rich military strength have no place to release it. They travel thousands of miles to drive from the other end of the earth to fight a war that is not so sure.

The only thing I have to worry about is how the alliance between Russia and France will help Japan? If it is military help, I believe I will only deal with the French in the south. My friend William II in Europe will help me intentionally or unintentionally deal with the Russians.

That night, I spent the night with Hefei. I asked her about Huo Jin'er's situation and her own thoughts when she saw Muren, but the child looked thoughtful and hesitated to answer. I was so impatient that my hands became unhonest and moved them on her body. When my right hand stopped on her thigh, she seemed to be unable to bear it and hugged me with a moan.

Suddenly, she screamed: "I remember it!"

I was shocked, and the action I had just prepared stopped abruptly. I looked at her with some reluctance and said, "What have you remembered again?"

Caizi smiled apologetically, then sat up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you remember that I told you something was wrong in the female official school? I finally remembered what was wrong."

"What?" I didn't take her intuition seriously. I just coaxed her to deal with it casually.

Caizi jumped out of bed and walked back and forth on the ground a few steps. In the swaying candlelight, she had a unique flavor on her naked body. Looking at my lewd eyes, Caizi glared at me angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "You are serious, long live your life... How are you different from other sisters when you look at me walking?"

I really didn't realize anything was wrong. Haha, shook my head.

"Your Majesty, this is the problem." Ayako stopped seriously and walked: "Japanese women have been wearing kimonos since childhood, and their way of walking is different from women from other countries. There are Japanese people in my school..."

As Aiko said, she sat back to me, grabbed my hand and said, "I... maybe I saw that emperor today... or maybe I was grabbing His Majesty's dragon claws, and I suddenly remembered..."

I sat up all of a sudden, it was so dangerous!
