Chapter 972 The Shock of the Envoy

"My God, this is a miracle."

In front of the window of the Prussian embassy, ​​the moment Qingzhou city was instantly lit by street lamps, the Prussian ambassador to Qingzhou, Percy, exclaimed in amazement.

For a few months, workers have been busy with construction along Qingzhou Street. These workers erected poles with glass covers on their heads, buried the bottoms in the ground, and then buried the rubber-coated wires in the ground, and put these poles one by one. connect them.

Although I am very interested in the ongoing construction, I can't get it from the construction workers or the officials. What is it? Until now they finally understand, it turns out that this is the proof of electric lighting.

"It's unbelievable. The level of technology in Da Yu is not comparable to that of any European country. The british and french idiots made stupid mistakes. It is suicide to fight against such an industrial power in Asia."

Standing beside Possi was a blond-haired noblewoman. She was Possi's wife Lilia. After the official operation of the Prussian embassy, ​​he stayed here with her husband, as well as his two sons.

"So they suffered a crushing defeat in Dengzhou, which is really heartwarming."

Possi is holding a transparent glass wine glass in his hand, which is an industrial product produced in Qingzhou. Before he came to Dayu Kingdom, he thought he would live a hard life, but the fact is that he is much more comfortable now than in Prussia.

Feeling the various conveniences that industry has brought to the life of Dayu, he almost fell in love with this place.

Lilia raised the glass and touched it with her husband. The red wine in the glass was surging. She glanced at the candles on the table with some resentment and said, "I really hope we can have a dinner under the lights."

"Believe me, it won't be too long. Now these things have been proven to be street lights, which means that the city of Qingzhou is officially powered. Soon, the people here, including us, will enjoy the convenience brought by electricity. The only pity is that Da Yu China has always refused to hand over its top technology in electricity, including steam locomotives, to us." Possi regretted.

"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 international students will arrive." Lilia comforted.

He understands her husband's feelings. In fact, it is somewhat similar to what happened to the Great Yu Kingdom ten years ago. Now Prussia also has a low status in Europe and is oppressed by France.

Under the intervention of the French, the German Confederation has been divided for a long time, and it has never been able to form a strong country.

"Yes, the hope of Prussia is on them." A glimmer of hope flashed in Possi's eyes.

Thinking of something, he continued: "By the way, tomorrow is the first day of the Spring Festival of the Great Yu Kingdom. I hope you can take our children to the palace to visit the Queen of the Great Yu Kingdom. If you can maintain your personal friendship, this It will be very beneficial to us, and I will also participate in the great court meeting to convey the greetings of the King of Prussia to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom."

"Of course." Lilia nodded lightly, "This is the meaning of the ambassador's existence."

In the Dutch embassy only 200 meters away from Prussia, Rhodes was also watching the lighted up Da Yu country. After Claire was transferred back to the Netherlands, Brandon ordered them to stay in the Da Yu country.

After the establishment of the Prussian embassy, ​​their jury was officially renamed, the resident became the Dutch embassy, ​​and he naturally became the ambassador.

"Da Yu's foreign affairs department officially informed us of the fact that they occupied Malacca. Now the throat of the Asian route is in the hands of Da Yu, and their actions are fast and decisive." A voice came from behind Rhodes.

He is the second-class minister of the Dutch embassy, ​​Parson. According to the embassy regulations given by Da Yuguo, the embassy personnel are divided into three levels, namely ambassadors, first-class ministers and second-class ministers. Each level of embassy personnel is responsible for different levels. Foreign affairs.

"I met Xiao Ming, the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, seven years ago. I know the emperor's character very well. He has always been able to say and do it, but it's a pity that the idiots in Spain go to the British and the French. By being the back, all the interests in Asia have been lost." Rhodes sarcastically.

Parson looked mocking, "They are doing it for themselves, but Rhodes, don't you worry about our future relationship with the Great Yu Kingdom? Don't forget, we have more colonies in Asia than the Spaniards, a male lion will Do you let others take the meat from your mouth?"

"Of course not. From the time Xiao Ming asked to garrison Relan to cover the city, we knew that he was not a disadvantaged person, but there is one thing, this emperor will forbear because of his interests, and this is what we need. For example, now, they There is a huge shortage of rubber, and now only we can provide them."

After a pause, Rhodes frowned and said: "It's just that our Netherlands is too weak, and neither the population nor the land can fight the British and French in Europe. What I am really worried about is that the Dutch parliament will eventually be forced to the British or the French due to the situation. France."

There was a flicker of panic in Parson's eyes. "This is a disaster for us."

"Indeed, we had to make a choice at that time between subjugating our country or losing our colonies." Rhode's eyes flickered, "So I think we should still enjoy the friendly relationship between the Netherlands and the Great Yu Kingdom."

His voice just fell.

Suddenly, overwhelming cheers came from Huangcheng 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 layer by layer, and at the same time, dense fireworks rose from the palace, burst in the air, and ignited the night sky.

The entire Qingzhou city suddenly fell into a sea of ​​joy.

"I've been talking about electricity all this time, I didn't expect it to be true, hey, you see, the lights in this glass cover are really not using oil."

Among the many streets, Huangcheng Avenue was the most lively. After cheering, the people gathered around the street lights and pointed, marveling at the magic of electricity.

"I don't know when we will be able to use electricity." A commoner said expectantly.

"The electricity has been connected to the city, and this matter will be soon." Another commoner replied: "If the house can be so bright, it will be easier for my eldest son to read at night."

Everyone else laughed when they heard this. This is what most of them think. The changes in the past ten years have made them gradually agree with the principle of rejuvenating the country through science and education.

At the same time, the rise of beginners, middle schools, high schools, and universities has allowed underprivileged children to truly find a way to rise, and the implementation of free education has made them unnecessary to worry about costs.
