Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

In fact, the gap between the science and technology of the old continent Obarro on this star and that of Europe before the war in the Celestial Realm is not very far.

There are even some technologies and methods that, because of the legacy and knowledge left over from the extraordinary era, may develop to be more powerful and more advanced than some of the corresponding disciplines in the 21st century in the Celestial Realm.

"But the power of our kingdom cannot produce the lightweight frames required for airships and the precision components of steam propeller engines on a large scale."

"Lightweight frames require lightweight, specialized metals."

"Our steel industry will have to progress for at least another five years before it is possible to develop the same type of alloy."

"As for the fine runner parts in the steam propeller engine, because of their compact shape, they can be made through extraordinary means of alchemy, but this requires the personal work of an alchemist of a formal rank."

The words of the bald old man made all the dignitaries in the Kingdom of St. George fall silent.

As early as after the Supreme Guild split from the stubborn and ignorant Holy See and became the new Holy Lord branch, the industrial strength and scientific technology of the British Kingdom of St. George, excluding those extraordinary "things" left over from the theocratic era, have always been

At the top of the Europa continent and even the entire world.

Especially the rumbling steam that caused the entire Old World to rotate rapidly for nearly a hundred years.

It was the first time for the dignitaries of the British Kingdom of St. George to encounter a universal industrial creation that their own country could not produce. As for the extraordinary alchemy mentioned by the bald old man.

Please, in this era when the demon tide has receded, the entire St. George's Britain only has a handful of official-level alchemists, each with their own important responsibilities. It is impossible to free up these "national treasures" to use them.

Come specifically to pick up parts.

Since President Hong and other senior leaders of the Taiping Association dare to decide to export the beast airship, a heavyweight weapon of war.

Naturally, they have a certain degree of confidence in preventing other forces from imitating it within a period of time.

If the builders of the Taiping Behemoth War Airship heard Newton Calip's words now, they would definitely give a thumbs up for this alchemist's extremely professional vision.

The situation is now very clear. The Taiping Society has a "behemoth war airship" that they cannot build. Now St. George, instead of being blamed for its unprovoked invasion of the Canadian colony, must be cautious and careful to deal with it.

relation.

"Count George Mars."

After a while, Saint Joe VII was the first to speak and called over to the count who had been standing next to him as a little transparent.

"Who else besides us does the Taiping Society sell airships to?"

"Dear Your Majesty."

The count knew that many of the big guys present were not in a good mood at the moment.

Therefore, he now responded to the king respectfully.

"The senior executives of the Taiping Association only mentioned to me that they might contact people from the Confederate States of America to act as intermediaries in the airship transaction."

Why is it involved with those traitors in America again?

The count's answer surprised all the dignitaries present, and they started discussing. They exchanged opinions with each other in order to come up with a decision that would maximize their benefits.

It wasn't until the evening in the foggy city that the country's monarch, St. Joe VII, personally issued a formal decree related to Canada and the Pacific.

There are many words in the edict, and it is written in elegant high-elven script, handwritten by the king's confidant Viscount Bird, but the content is actually only a few.

First of all, I would like to thank the Taiping Society for the gift to the king, which was the civilian airship given to Earl George Mars for display. George VII liked this gift very much, and gave it to the Pacific Society in return for the gift of the Canadian colony, more or less.

Save some of your own face.

In addition, Count George Mars handled matters related to the bilateral relations between the Kingdom and the Taiping Society very well, and granted his second son the title of Baron of the Court of St. George.

The Earl himself, who had lost the Canadian colony, had nothing to do with it. Instead, he was appointed by the king as the plenipotentiary envoy of the Kingdom of St. George to the Pacific Council.

After the decree of the British monarch St. George was issued, the entire Old World was shaken.

Most of the ill-informed European countries still don't know the truth about the Canadian colony at this time.

But they also began to inquire about what kind of force this "Pacific Peace Society" was, and what the "airship" was as a gift to King St. George, so that the greedy old guy was willing to use the rich land of Canada.

Land is a gift.

This is also the first time that the name "Pacific Peace Society" has appeared on a large scale in the international news of the Old Continent in Oparo, which has surprised countless future allies...

To the east of this star is Shanghufu, the magical capital of the Daqing Dynasty in the vast land of China.

In this city with six concessions from Western countries, Shangluguang Port near Huangpu District is one of the largest ocean ports in Daqing. Countless ships, loaded with goods and passengers from the East and the West, meet here every day.

Circulating.

Just today, 1858 AD, September 11th, the second year of Shengci in the Daqing Dynasty.

In this harbor, which used to be crowded with people and constantly flowing, there was a medium-sized harbor that was specially vacated at noon today under the advance order of the Shanglu government.

Dozens of officers wearing long-sleeved uniforms and holding matchlock guns stood at the exit of this medium-sized harbor, stopping thousands of idle porters outside who were trying to watch the excitement.

Come down.

Inside the medium-sized harbor, Rong Hong, an official translator from Shanglu Prefecture with a Chinese character face and a rare wide suit in this era, led 120 people in a neat queue. He was about 10 years old and had a look in his eyes.

Curious and nervous young children stand in front of a large three-masted sailboat in front of the harbor pier.

The counselor of the Gallic Empire Embassy, ​​the Imperial Lord Barcalo von, was also going to follow the ship back to Gaul to report on his duties, so he was one of the personal witnesses of this historical event.

"I have seen the determination of your Westernization faction, Mr. Ding!"

He glanced with some pity at these children who were about to leave their homeland at such a young age, turned around and said to the friend in front of him.

"I will definitely try my best to help these poor children."

Although the Taiping Rebellion and the invasion of the Nineteen Kingdoms caused huge losses to the Eastern Daqing Dynasty and the court's prestige, it has to be said that it still awakened some of Daqing's vested interests, the elites among the braided and Chinese bureaucrats.

In recent years, these elites have gradually grown. With the slogan of "learning from the barbarians to improve themselves and seek wealth", they have united countless officials who knew their shame and became brave, and formed the "Westernizationists" who were not weak in the Daqing court.

"Political affiliation.

In addition to vigorously introducing a number of Western government-run enterprises in recent years, it has also implemented many regulations to encourage private trade in areas shrouded by its own political influence, which are completely different from other policies of the Daqing Dynasty in the past.

The young children studying in Gaul at the port now are the products of certain Westernization policies—the first batch of government-sponsored overseas students in Daqing.

"These children are our hope for Daqing to become stronger again!"

"Then it's up to you, Mr. Barsalo!"

Rong Hong, who was dressed very Westernly, stepped forward and bowed solemnly to his Gallic wife's classmate at the University of Paris.

well!

If it hadn't been for the sudden civil war in the United States of America, I should have written to the court...

Rong Hong looked back again, and after taking one last look at the innocent eyes of those smart children, he suppressed hesitation and interrupted his thoughts.

Things have progressed to this point, and he has tried his best, and it is really impossible to change anything.

Turning around, he walked towards the outside of the harbor.

But as soon as he stepped out of the harbor, a young man with a thin build and braided hair tied around his neck to facilitate movement ran toward him.

That was the book boy assigned to Rong Hong by his family.

The book boy quickly ran to Rong Hong, panting heavily and speaking in a low voice.

"Master, Master!"

"Just now, the 'Ta Kung Pao' of the British Concession in St. George published new extra news."

"The colony of Canada was given to the Chinese Taiping Society by King St. Joe VII."
