There are many storms in the Ryukyus in the middle of summer, but they come and go quickly, and a big storm washes the city clean at night, and it is not until the next morning that the white birds wake up Xiao Lotian in unison, only to find that the weather outside the window is very good.

The morning sun dyed the eastern sky golden, and the more you looked to the west, the more you could see the sky orchid, and at this time the people on the Ryukyu docks had already begun to gather.

The completion ceremony of the submarine cable and the boarding ceremony of the first batch of students were put together, and this scene was like a grand festival.

Xiao Lotian hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, the beautiful general's dress was worn on him, and he ate a few bites of jam bread at will, and Xiao Lotian walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion under the protection of the guards.

As soon as the war horse crossed two streets, Xiao Lotian met the British and American ministers who had just arrived yesterday, and there was a pastor Lewis behind him who winked at him, and when he looked closely, the black Simon also came with a photographic equipment, and when he saw Xiao Letian, he smiled and showed two rows of white teeth.

The team converged, and Minister Warren rubbed his temples and said, "I'm really old, I didn't know how to restrain at last night's cocktail party, and the mellow French wine really made me greedy, and I actually had a little headache this morning......"

The British Minister, Sir Edrich, said with a smile, "Thanks to the hospitality of Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, the best natural wine should be the best, if I guess correctly, it should be the high-end goods of Château Cheval Blanc and Château Ausong in the Bordeaux region, which are famous wines that only a few connoisseurs know!"

Xiao Lotian raised his thumb, "The minister is really powerful, at first glance, he is a master of wine tasting, I don't know much about this, the wine I drank last night was captured from the French Expeditionary Force, it should belong to those senior officers, who knows?"

This sentence almost choked Ai Liguo to death, if you don't show off your record, you will die?

"I can testify that these belong to the Knight Molière, who is a fanatic of the Bordeaux region......"

After a brief joke with the French, they soon arrived at the dock square, where a telegraph wrapped in red silk was on a high stage and several well-trained Ryukyu transmitters were standing on the platform wearing white gloves.

"His Majesty the Emperor Tongzhi of the Great Qing Kingdom has arrived...... His Excellency King Shotai of the Ryukyu Kingdom arrives at ...... All silent!"

Ten chanters announced the arrival of the most noble emperor and king in a uniform voice, and Jae-soon finally appeared in a dragon robe among the people of the Ryukyus.

More than half of the 100,000 people who watched the ceremony knelt down, and the rest of the soldiers of the New Army and foreigners also bowed 90 degrees. After all, Aisin Jueluo Zaichun is the master of more than 10 million square kilometers of land, so a big empire deserves everyone's respect.

At this time, Xiao Lotian couldn't put out the master's score, and he still bowed and saluted, and as soon as Zai Chun saw the master, he quickly bowed slightly from the soft couch to show his salute.

The throne of the emperor and the king was on a high platform, with Jae-chun as the assistant to the lord Sangtae, and the ceremony began when the two of them sat down on the flower-paved path.

Lion and dragon dance performances, firecrackers roared, representatives of various countries and representatives of various industries spoke about blessings, so there is no need to go into detail, anyway, how lively it is.

After an hour and a half of tossing, the northern sky suddenly sounded with the sound of firecrackers during the day, crackling in the sky.

"Connected...... It's a signal from Amami Oshima...... Hooray!" the crowd burst into jubilation.

That's right, the American engineers on Amami Oshima finally docked the two cables, and when they cheered, they immediately sent artillery signals in both the north and south directions.

Just like the principle of transmission of the beacon tower, the sound of artillery fire sounded in the air from island to island, and the good news was quickly transmitted to the intended target.

In the castle tower of Kagoshima, Tadayoshi Shimazu and his retainers, as well as Ryoma Sakamoto, are anxiously looking out over the bay, and merchant ships anchored in the sea are waiting for signals from the south.

In the center of the castle tower, the telegraph had been placed, and several telegraph operators knelt down from the telegraph object, respectfully motionless.

"Is this thing capable of transmitting information for more than a thousand miles in an instant? Kagoshima and Naha are 1,200 miles away!"

Sakamoto Ryoma smiled, "What's more, even if it's tens of thousands of miles, the telegraph can transmit information in an instant......"

At this moment, a little surname suddenly shouted, "Hurry up, there is an abnormal movement on the ship, they are on fire...... The cannon is going off, it's going off!"

Bang bang bang...... The dull sound of artillery was the signal, and everyone in the castle tower was lying next to the telegraph, staring with good eyes, and their buttocks were pouting higher than their heads.

In the distant Ryukyu Naha, Xiao Lotian had already picked up a pen and wrote a line of big characters on the big white paper, 'Have you eaten?' such a domineering telegram, so Xiao Lotian was able to come up with such domineering words.

No one dared to laugh at Xiao Letian, and the telegraph operator hurriedly typed it according to the codebook, and Xiao Letian's inquiry was instantly transmitted to Kagoshima.

When the telegraph in Kagoshima began to spit out the telegram, the Shimazu family and the retainers all dodged the roar, "Look, it's moving...... The fetish is moving!"

The kneeling telegraph operator hurriedly translated, such a simple telegram could not be wrong at all, and when the three big characters "Have you eaten?" appeared on the paper, Shimazu Tadashi asked puzzledly, "This is the first sentence that the prime minister gave me......?"

When Shimazu Tadayoshi's reply reached the Ryukyus, the people of the world immediately became a sensation, and everyone was not only excited but also laughed out loud, and the first telegram in East Asia actually wrote a question and answer between two foodies.

All the distinguished guests laughed like crazy, and Xiao Letian's humor convinced everyone.

"Well, the abalone in Kagoshima is very delicious, please send me a batch......"

"Please rest assured, the freshest abalone will be loaded on the ship this afternoon and sent to the prime minister......"

"What ......is the price of rice in Kagoshima today?"

"Ah, I'm going to get a batch of rice to Kagoshima to make money......

......

Every sentence of dialogue between Xiao Lotian and Shimazu Tadayoshi was written in an extra-long white cloth, and then hung on the high platform in the wind, and the magical telegram convinced everyone, especially the representatives sent by Hu Xueyan, those wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who were still hesitant about investment, were convinced at the moment.

"Miracles, it's really miraculous, investment must be invested!" was the voice of everyone's heart.

The British minister's face was a little unpleasant, and the American minister Warren was keenly aware of his subtle changes: "Soon the United States and the Ryukyus will discuss the laying of submarine telegraph cables in the Pacific, and now that the Atlantic Ocean is well connected, if we conquer the Pacific, then a huge global telegraph network will be formed......"

"This is the wealth of all mankind, all countries can benefit from it, and I think we should cooperate with Xiao Lotian to form an international telegraph group, and calculate the stake ...... according to the length of their respective telegraph lines"

"I think you, who are as smart as Sir Sir, must be able to see the benefits in it, it's a gold mine, and you can't dig it out forever......"

"Hehe, I know what you're worried about, do you think that a Chinese in the shareholder is a little reluctant? Believe me, this land snake is very difficult to deal with, if you don't consider his interests, you will definitely have a headache in the future!"

Sir Eric hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course, Xiao Lotian is a very important strategic partner of the United Kingdom, and we are very willing to cooperate with many parties in economic cooperation, which is of course beneficial ......to the interests of the British Empire."

The two old fox diplomats smiled at each other, got up and walked down the viewing platform, they were ready to take a photo with Xiao Letian, the success of this telegraph line will definitely accelerate the laying of the Asian telegraph network, since the Europeans have fallen behind, they can only choose to cooperate.

The entire festival was recorded with a camera, and the Ryukyus and Kagoshima became a sea of joy, and the Shimazu family, with such an artifact, immediately held a banquet for the retainers, and the castle tower was full of jubilation.

The Ryukyus is not the time for a banquet, now is the time for Xiao Lotian to see off those students, a Dutch clipper ship in the harbor will take 500 students to Europe, and an American clipper ship will take 400 students to the United States.

The nine hundred students wore the suits specially customized for them by Xiao Letian, and each of them had a sturdy cowhide suitcase, standing in the open space to form a solemn military formation.

Two-thirds of them are orphans, and they have no relatives to see them off, only the aunts who have taken care of them, their comrades-in-arms from the New Army, and finally Xiao Letian.

The remaining one-third are the children of the people of Ryukyu and Tanggu, and the parents are already crying around, how can they give up thousands of miles of Guanshan.

"Child...... Don't be afraid to spend money when you go out...... Don't grieve yourself!"

"Go out to a foreign land to study hard and come back as soon as possible......"

Listening to the ardent expectations of the parents of the fellow students, their eyes were red and swollen, they were all orphans of the Heavenly Movement, and they had no parents and relatives, if it wasn't for Xiao Letian who saved them, God knows what the fate would have been in the future.

Xiao Letian was keenly aware of the emotions of the students, and he opened his arms to embrace these benevolent people one by one.

"The new army is your home, I am your relative, the hardships of childhood are just a hurdle in your life, what you have to do is to study hard and return to China, and do a good job......

"I know you don't have parents anymore, but they are also watching you from heaven, working hard to form your own family, and turn back so that your children can live a better life and not suffer from you anymore......"

"Your ancestors watched you from heaven, and you will never be alone......"

Xiao Lotian patted the children's backs, and his eyes burst out, "Liu Anchen, you have to work hard...... Qiu Wei: You have to be strong...... Jiang Yuheng, Yan Xing...... Remember the mother country, don't forget the fathers and elders of the homeland......"

"Xiang Ying, Jin Sanshun, Lin Zhen, Cai Bixuan...... Don't think about your own origins anymore, forget everything, and start your business in Europe anew, and restore the glory of your family......"

"I, Xiao Letian, salute you here!"

Xiao Lotian and countless new soldiers stood up and saluted, and the international students boarded two merchant ships amid the crying, and the huge international student plan set sail at this moment.

Note: Book friends, my heart is pure and my Mid-Autumn Festival has been updated, everyone subscribes, thank you!

I borrowed Xiao Letian's mouth to greet everyone, "Have you eaten, eat more if you haven't eaten! Let's not lose weight today......
