Chapter 332: Empire
The British Empire, the full name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is located in the British Isles in the northwest of the European continent.
The unique geographical environment of the country has given this country the advantage of opening up the world.
At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, the steam engine was improved and the industrial revolution began. The strength of the British Empire expanded rapidly, and it began to violently colonize and expand the empire's territory and colonies.
Through bloody accumulation and brutal expansion, the British Empire became the most powerful country in the world at that time.
The population is as high as 500 million, accounting for a quarter of the world's total population, and its territorial area is as high as 33.67 million square kilometers, which is also a quarter of the world's total land area.
With this, the British Empire became the country called "the empire on which the sun never sets" after the Kingdom of Spain in the sixteenth century.
One of their economists once proudly described it:
The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Chicago and Odessa our breadbaskets; Canada and the Baltic States our timber forests;
Australasia has our sheep farms, Argentina and the grasslands of western North America have our flocks;
Peru sent its silver, South African and Australian gold flowed to London; Indians and Chinese grew our tea, and our coffee, sugar and spice plantations were in the Indies.
Although these words now sound a bit exaggerated and arrogant, they are also in line with the basic facts at that time.
But it was only at that time. After the peak, there was decline. The historical cycle is like this, and the British Empire cannot escape. The former empire on which the sun never sets has finally reached the moment of sunset.
In the 1870s, the British Empire, which was gradually losing industrial control, was caught up by the independent United States, and finally surpassed it and replaced it as the world's hegemon.
Since then, although the British Empire cannot be said to be in a slump, it is difficult to restore the glory of Great Britain in the past, and even played the role of world troublemakers (although they used to be)
Having said that, nearly a century of leadership has allowed the British Empire to accumulate considerable strength, especially in the extraordinary field. Today, in the Western world, it is still a giant that keeps pace with the American Federation.
The structure of the British Empire is similar to that of the United States. It is also dominated by the four major powers. Among them, the Church of the Holy Church, the Hunter's Guild, and the Mages' Association remain unchanged. Only the federal agencies are replaced by the Imperial Court.
The structure of the royal court of the empire is also different from the federal agencies of the United States. The United States is dominated by the Congress and governs various departments. The British Empire has three powers, namely the royal family, the cabinet, and the academy.
Needless to say, the royal family, although they gave up most of the power, the power of the extraordinary world is still the head of the British Empire.
The cabinet is the current political subject of the British Empire and holds the main force of the state apparatus, which should not be underestimated either.
The college is a complex of colleges in the British Empire, including the prestigious University of London, Imperial College London, School of Political Economy, King's College London, etc., and its strength is also not weak.
Except for the imperial court, the structure of the other three major powers has also changed slightly here. The Church of the Holy Church is dominated by Anglicanism (the Anglican religion), the Hunter's Guild is dominated by the Storm family, not to mention the Mage Association, it is the Merlin family. base camp.
Therefore, the water in this place is very deep, even if it is as strong as Luo Ning, he can't stir up wind and rain in the city, otherwise he will attract the wrath of all major forces, and he will definitely be expelled.
Well, at most it is expulsion. It is basically impossible to kill him, and the major forces are not willing to pay such a price.
Luo Ning is here to save people, there is no need to conflict with the major forces of the British Empire, so it is better to keep a low profile.
Otherwise, the assistant he had worked so hard to poach from the BPRD would not be able to save him.
...
Under the dim light that does not make people feel gloomy,
The soothing and melodious music reverberated in everyone's ears, and the waiters with excellent image and temperament went to and from each table, serving delicious dishes one after another.
Wilton Restaurant.
This is a well known and not so well known restaurant.
Being very famous is for ordinary people, and being not very famous is also for ordinary people.
To put it simply, it is a "hidden restaurant" dedicated to serving extraordinary people.
It is said that the history of this restaurant can be traced back to the eighteenth century, and it is deeply loved by the royal family of the British Empire, and members of the royal family often visit it.
"Ronin, this place..."
Sitting at the dining table, Christine looked at Luo Ning nervously and asked, "Is it a little expensive?"
"It's not a little, it's very!"
Luo Ning threw down the menu, and said to Christine with a chuckle, "But it's okay, you can order whatever you want, anyway, someone is treating you."
"Invitation, who is the treat?"
Christine was confused by Ronin, but since he said so, he could only pick up the menu and prepare to order.
But as soon as she opened the menu, she was dazzled by the prices above.
This place does not accept US dollars, no British pounds, and no ordinary currency used by any country. It only accepts gold coins, gold coins of the four-line gold coin level, and of course, the imperial gold coins of the British Empire are the best.
At the top of the menu, the dish with the lowest price requires one gold coin as a base, which is 20,000 US dollars... Oh no, ordinary currency has collapsed in the extraordinary world, and now a four-line gold coin can be exchanged for at least 200,000 dollars.
The nearly ten-fold increase may seem astonishing, but it is completely reasonable under the circumstances of the end of the world. If it is not for the control of the agencies of various countries, this ratio may be raised to a hundred times.
"This……"
After studying for this period of time, Christine also understood the value of the four-line gold coin in the extraordinary world. Looking at the amount on the menu, she became even more apprehensive, and looked at Luo Ning: "Can I really order it?"
Luo Ning nodded, smiled lightly and said, "Order whatever you like, you can call it whatever you like, you're welcome."
"All right!"
Hearing what Luo Ning said, Christine felt relieved, took the menu and said to the smiling waiter, "I want this, this, this, and this, this, this."
"..."
Although he was surprised by Christine's order, the excellent professionalism still kept the waiter smiling and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Christine nodded and said, "Please hurry up!"
She is really hungry.
Although the strengthening of the soul potion mainly consumes the power of the potion, part of her own potential is also consumed, so she urgently needs energy replenishment. In addition, she has also practiced the body training technique of Professor Luo Ning. Hungry.
Of course, when I was hungry, Christine didn't forget about Luo Ning, and asked, "Don't you want to order?"
Luo Ning shook his head, sat aside and spread out the city map in his hand, and said, "Next, treat me as if I don't exist, and someone will pay you later."
"Will someone pay for it?"
Christine looked at Luo Ning who was sitting aside in astonishment, and asked, "Who is it?"
Luo Ning smiled, looked at the city map in his hand, and said, "Our tour guide!"
