Greece to roman road

In the next two days, Sanford used his family's network to win over and invite U.S. congressmen and presidents to attend banquets and inquire about information from the U.S. government.

Constantine stayed at Sanford's residence, waiting for news.

Schmidt stepped forward, holding a letter in his hand, and handed it to Constantine.

An invitation letter: Invite the Duke from Greece to come and visit at 6 o'clock in the evening to witness a great invention of epoch-making significance in human history. The signature is Elena.

An epoch-making great invention? Constantine was really looking forward to it. The end of the 19th century was a period of rapid development of human science and technology. Various scientific and technological inventions emerged one after another. I wonder what he is destined to meet today?

At five o'clock in the evening, a carriage stopped on the side of the road. Constantine, who had been dressed neatly for a long time, walked into the carriage and saw Irina sitting in it wearing a blue silk lace low-cut dress.

"Good evening, Miss Elena," Constantine tipped his hat.

"I heard that you are going to take me to see a great invention. Can you tell me what the show is?" Constantine asked.

"Mr. Constantine, today we are going to visit a new achievement of the inventor Mr. Edison. You will never be disappointed," Elena said confidently.

Constantine was indeed a little surprised when he heard the name Edison. After all, the name of the King of Invention was widely spread and his reputation was outstanding.

The carriage drove slowly on the road, and as night fell, darkness enveloped the entire city.

The kerosene lamps at the four corners of the carriage were lit, and the dense orange light illuminated the surroundings of the carriage.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at No. 23 Wall Street and stopped in front of a tall building.

Although it was already night, around the building, a group of gentlemen wearing black trench coats and bowler hats stood on the roadside, pointing at the building, and three or five gathered together and whispered.

The two stepped out of the carriage, with Elena leading the way and Constantine following behind, passing through the crowd.

"Elena, welcome," said the older of the two people walking towards her.

"Let me introduce, this is a noble gentleman from Europe, Constantine," Elena pointed at Constantine and said to the two of them.

"This is Mr. Pierpont Morgan," Elena said, pointing to the older man with a mustache and a majestic face among the two.

"This one is the famous inventor, Mr. Edison," Elena said, pointing to the other of the two.

Just meeting these two celebrities can be said to be a worthwhile trip. The famous American financial family, the talker of the Morgan family, and an inventor.

"It's nice to meet you two and I look forward to the next show." Constantine stepped forward and shook hands one by one.

"Haha, what you see tonight will definitely be unforgettable for you, and it will definitely be a worthwhile trip," Edison said happily.

A nobleman from Europe came to see the unveiling of his great invention, which gave him considerable satisfaction.

The night is getting darker and the surroundings are dark.

On the streets of New York in October, the temperature is cold and the wind is blowing. From time to time, customers rub their hands together, tighten the collars of their windbreakers, and curl their necks.

The guests around were already a little impatient. If it weren't for the energy of the host invited today, everyone would have already left.

They are all members of New York's upper class. It's so cold to stand in the cold wind on a cold day. What's this?

"Gentlemen, you are about to witness an unprecedented feat in human history," Mr. Morgan shouted to the crowd.

After that, he whispered to Edison beside him: "No problem, if something goes wrong, the two of us will be laughed at by everyone in New York tomorrow, which will be great fun."

"Don't worry, Mr. Morgan, we have practiced it several times, there will be no problem," Edison comforted.

Seeing that Morgan turned away and didn't pay attention, Edison whispered: "God bless you for success."

When everyone heard that it was finally about to begin, they couldn't help but cheer up and wait and see, surrounding today's two protagonists.

I saw a few young men handing a switch connected to a wire to Morgan's hand, but he immediately handed it to Edison and said, "This is your honor, Mr. Edison."

Edison took the switch in his left hand and pulled it down with his right hand. In an instant, the whole building glowed brightly.

Many "fireballs" hanging on the walls of the building lit up the night sky, and the entire building's appearance was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

The bright light dispelled the surrounding darkness, just like the moon in the sky lighting up the night sky.

The people watching all around said "Wow" and were in chaos.

"This is really amazing. Is this a miracle?"

"how did you do that?"

Seeing everyone's inquiries, Mr. Morgan said excitedly; "This is Mr. Edison's new invention, the electric light. With this invention as a symbol, human history will enter a new era, and we will say goodbye to the old era where lighting can only be done by fire." "

The audience around them applauded and paid warm tribute to Mr. Edison's novel invention.

Constantine stared blankly at the bright building and muttered: "Electricity, electricity."

These radiant light bulbs not only illuminated the night sky of New York, but also dispelled Constantine's gloom about the fate of the Greek nation.

Constantine looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself, isn't this exactly what he has dreamed of?

Human history has entered the end of the 19th century. The experience of previous major countries in developing industrialization is no longer enough to be used as a reference. Is it possible to overtake others in a corner?

Electricity, an emerging energy source, is the key to Greece's subsequent disruption.

Elena looked at Constantine in a daze and smiled sweetly: "How about it, Mr. Constantine, do Europeans have such an invention?"

Obviously, such a novel invention makes Elena, who is also an American, proud.

"Yes, Miss Elena, I really want to thank you for your invitation today. I already understand."

Constantine quickly walked up to the two protagonists who were accepting congratulations from everyone, and complimented; "Mr. Morgan, Mr. Edison, your invention deserves the word great and will be unforgettable forever, thank you."

Light bulbs and electricity were two things that were going to be very popular in the future, and there was no doubt that they could make a lot of money.

Nowadays, kerosene lighting tycoons like Rockefeller are probably very nervous.

After greetings, the two took a carriage and left the headquarters of Drexel Morgan.

Constantine, who returned to Sanford's residence, met Sanford who had returned from a gathering of dignitaries in the United States.

"Your Excellency, I have just received word from President Chester that, subject to your agreement, the United States Government will not object to the Congo Commission's management of the Congo River Basin."

Hearing this, Constantine breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't object.

"Tomorrow we return to Europe," said Constantine.
