Chapter 975 The shock of the envoy
"My God, this is a miracle."
In front of the window of the Prussian Embassy, when Qingzhou City was lit up by street lights, Prussian Ambassador to Qingzhou Perssi exclaimed.
Several months along Qingzhou Street, workers were busy working on the construction. These workers raised poles with glass covers on their heads, buried the bottom surface into the ground, and then buried the rubber-covered thread underground, connecting the poles one by one.
Although they are very interested in the ongoing construction, they cannot get what these are from the workers or officials who are working on the construction? Until now they finally understand that this is the proof of electric lighting.
"It's incredible that the technological level of the Great Yu country is not comparable to that of any European country. The fools such as the British and French made stupid mistakes. Fighting with such industrial powers in Asia is simply suicide."
Beside Perssi stood a blond-haired lady, Lilia, the wife of Perssi. After the Prussian Embassy was officially operated, he and her husband stayed here, and his two sons were also staying here.
"So they suffered a crushing defeat in Dengzhou, which is really satisfying."
Perssi held a transparent glass of wine in his hand, which was an industrial product produced in Qingzhou. Before coming to Dayu Kingdom, he thought he would live a difficult life, but the fact is that he is much more comfortable now than in Prussia.
Feeling the various conveniences that industry brings to life in the Great Chongqing country, he almost fell in love with this place.
Lilia raised her glass and touched her husband with her glass. The red wine in the glass surged. She looked at the candles on the table with some resentment and said, "I wish we could have a dinner under the light."
"Believe me, it won't be too long. Now these things have been proven to be street lights, which means that the power supply in Qingzhou City has been officially supplied. Soon, the people here, including us, will enjoy the convenience brought by electricity. The only regret is that the Great Chongqing Kingdom has always refused to hand over the top technology of electricity, including steam locomotives. "Persisi regrets.
"I think we should be satisfied. At least His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to study abroad. In two months, the first batch of 800 students will arrive." Lilia comforted.
He understood his husband's mood, which was actually somewhat similar to what happened to the Great Yu Kingdom ten years ago. Prussia is not as high as Europe and is bullied by France.
With the intervention of the French, the German Federation was divided for a long time and could not form a powerful country.
"Yes, Prussia's hope is on them." A glimmer of hope flashed in Perssi's eyes.
Thinking of something, he continued, "By the way, tomorrow is the first day of the Spring Festival in Dayu Kingdom. I hope you can take our children to the palace to visit the Queen of Dayu Kingdom. If you can maintain a private friendship, it will be very beneficial to us. I will also attend the Grand Court meeting and convey the greetings of the King of Prussia to His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu Kingdom."
"Of course." Lilia nodded slightly, "This is the meaning of the existence of the Ambassador."
In the Dutch Embassy, which was only 200 meters away from Prussia, Rhodes also watched the lights lit up in the Great Yu Kingdom. After Claire was transferred back to the Netherlands, Brandon ordered them to stay in the Great Yu Kingdom.
After the establishment of the Prussian Embassy, their referee team was officially renamed, and the resident became the Dutch embassy, and he naturally became the ambassador.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Chongqing has officially informed us of the fact that they occupied Malacca. Now the throat of the Asian route is in the hands of the Great Chongqing. They are moving very quickly and decisively." A voice came from behind Rhodes.
He is Parson, the second-class minister of the Dutch Embassy. According to the embassy rules given by the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the embassy personnel are divided into three levels, namely the ambassador, the first-class minister and the second-class minister. Embassy personnel of each level are responsible for foreign affairs of different levels.
"I met Xiao Ming, the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, seven years ago. I know the emperor's character very well. He always said that he could do it. Unfortunately, the Spanish fool went to serve as a cushion for the British and French people and lost all the benefits in Asia." Rhodes sarcastically.
Parson showed a mocking look, "They are taking it upon themselves, but Rhodes, are you not worried about our future relationship with the Great Yu Kingdom? Don't forget that we have more colonies in Asia than Spanish. Will a lion take away the flesh from its mouth for others?"
"Of course not. From when Xiao Ming asked the garrison to the city of Relanzha, we realized that he was not a person who suffered a loss, but there is one thing that the emperor would tolerate because of his interests. This is what we need. For example, now, they are in urgent need of rubber, and now only we can provide them."
After pausing, Rhode frowned and said, "It's just that our Netherlands is too weak. No matter whether it is population or land, it cannot fight against the British and French in Europe. What I really worry about is that the Dutch Parliament will eventually turn to Britain or France under the situation."
A hint of panic flashed in Parson's eyes, "This is a disaster for us."
"That's true. We must make a choice when the country is destroyed or the colony is lost." Rhodes' eyes flashed, "So if you want to enjoy the friendly relations between the Netherlands and the Great Chongqing."
His words just finished.
Suddenly, cheers of overwhelming seas came from the Imperial City Avenue. After the initial shock, the people of Qingzhou City finally understood what the emperor gave them tonight.
"Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
"Long live!"
“…”
The cheers of the people covered the layers one by one, and at the same time, dense fireworks rose from the palace, exploded in the air, igniting the night sky.
The entire Qingzhou City suddenly fell into a sea of joy.
"I've been talking about electricity for a while, but I didn't expect it to be true. Hey, look at the lamp in this glass cover is really not oil."
Among the many streets, the Imperial City Avenue is the most lively. After cheering, the people gathered in front of the street lights and pointed at them, marveling at the magic of electricity.
"I don't know when we can use the power as well," a commoner said expectantly.
"The electricity has been passed into the city, so this matter will be soon." Another commoner replied: "If the family can be so bright, my Dalang will be relaxed at night."
The others laughed when they heard this. This was the idea of most of them. The changes over the past decade have gradually agreed with the principle of building a country with science and education.
