Chapter 1118: The power of diaries

One 　 　 When Brooke set foot on the British mainland, his heart was mixed.
In contrast to the prosperity of Qingzhou, he sees London as the countryside of the Eastern Empire, a world that has not really entered into a civilized world.
This was the first time that he had doubts about the British system. Why could an empire in their eyes surpass them in just a few years?
After thinking about it for a moment, Brook took his mind. Beside him was Hu Chuan, the ambassador sent to Britain by the Eastern Empire. He also needed to arrange the ambassador to meet with the queen.
"Ambassador Hu, I will stay in a London hotel for one night. Tomorrow I will take you to meet with Her Majesty the Queen to discuss the establishment of the embassy."
Hu Chuan was looking at London, and when he appeared, many British people in the port gave him strange eyes.
These eyes contained emotions such as disdain, confusion, curiosity, panic, etc. After all, for the current Western world, it would be uncomfortable for so many Eastern faces to appear in their land.
"Okay, we are looking forward to the meeting with Queen Vidomija." Hu Chuan also smiled politely.
At this time, Brook asked his deputy to stop a carriage and take Hu Chuan to London's most luxurious Marty Hotel, while he and other envoys walked in the other direction.
After getting on the carriage, Hu Chuan continued to observe the streets of London. The deputy ambassador opposite him, Kang Ming, said: "This ghost place is really backward. I'm afraid I will miss Qingzhou every day."
"Who said no? But this is our job, we don't do it, the emperor will always do it." Hu Chuanhua said.
Kang Ming sighed: "I hope we won't be in danger here. Everyone here looks like robbers."
"Don't worry, we will be safe here, because we are a victorious country unless they still want to be beaten." Hu Chuan was very confident.
After all, the two chatted for a while.
At the same time Brook had arrived at his office on the Thames in London.
Taking out the notes he had recorded in Qingzhou from his bag, he went straight to Murphy's office room.
"Hi, Brook, you are welcome back." Murphy walked up to give Brook a hug in surprise.
Since Brooke started, they had waited for a year. This time was too long and made them always nervous about the negotiation.
With a hearty smile, Brooke patted Murphy's back again. He said, "Thank you, this negotiation went smoothly. We paid some price, but in exchange for peace, this is an agreement signed."
After accepting the agreement, Murphy looked at it seriously, turned over all the terms, and finally sighed. The terms were full of humiliating conditions for Britain.
But he also understood that they had to accept it because they needed time to improve the level of technology in the UK.
They are not afraid of war, but what they fear is that the Eastern Empire will completely cut off their maritime trade routes.
This would be a disaster for Britain, which has a small country and scarce resources. ’
"You have done very well, I will go to see Her Majesty the Queen now, and go with me." Murphy carefully rolled up the treaty.
After a pause, he said, "There is also the embassy issue, we need to negotiate in advance."
Brooke seemed to be not very interested in the queen in front of him. He said dejectedly: "I saw too many miracles when I went to Qingzhou this time, and they were all recorded in the diary. You should read the above content now. That's it, I believe you will do what you should when you meet the queen next time."
Murphy was stunned, "Apart from iron armored ships and advanced firearms, what else do they have?"
"Prime Minister Murphy, armored ships, and firearms are just the appearance of the Eastern Empire. What's really terrifying for them is their industrial capacity. Do you know their annual steel mill output? It's just that the steel output of Qingzhou has been used for one year. Ten times the total amount of steel. This does not include large factories in other regions. The most important thing is that their steel quality is much better than ours."
Murphy was stunned by Brooke's words. As prime minister, he naturally understood the significance of steel production.
As we enter the age of firearms, this means the war potential of a country.
After stopping, Murphy took Brook's diary and looked at it. The novel terms suddenly made him dumbfounded.
"Telegram, what the are the phones? They can really transmit sound for thousands of miles?" Murphy was shocked.
Brooke just nodded slightly, "These things have quickly become popular in this empire in a few years, but this is not the point. The steam engine is already an industrial product that has been eliminated in the Eastern Empire. They are already using electric motors. What makes us even more unattainable is that they have created something called an internal combustion engine. The car made with this kind of thing as the core can run 80 kilometers per hour. Now they are still developing large transportation vehicles. Once successful, Traffic in this empire is more convenient."
Murphy's gaze swept over an item that was unfamiliar, yet mysterious, and now he finally understood the gap between Britain and the Eastern Empire.
"I understand what you mean. We can no longer look at this Eastern Empire with our previous eyes. We must let the British understand their strength so that we can catch up." Murphy said sincerely.
Brook nodded, "These content should be in the newspapers. Yelang arrogance is the most dangerous to a country. It will make us short-sighted and arrogant."
"I will do it." Murphy said seriously~EbookFREE.me~ He was really frightened by the scene described in the diary.
Then he took Brook to the Tulip Palace and also let Vidomia read the diary.
"Tomorrow, we will hold a banquet of the highest standard for the envoys from the Eastern Empire to welcome them. In addition, we will choose the best building in the city center as the embassy. If we can’t follow in the footsteps of the Eastern giant, the United Kingdom will Continue to decline, this is something we cannot tolerate." Vidomia's pale face added a layer of sorrow.
Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, the era that belonged to Britain has passed, and the world stage will belong to the Eastern Empire.
After a pause, he said: "Immediately set up a trade group to go to the Chinese Empire to discuss patent matters. No matter how much we pay, we must obtain their technology and strictly implement the content of the agreement.
Murphy and Brook looked at each other, and it was obvious that the contents of the diary also made the queen feel scared from the heart.
The technological gap between them is like the original European colonists and the local natives, and they are also very thankful that the emperor who ruled this country is not a lunatic, otherwise they might really have to fight the eastern army in their homeland.
