As the foreign secretary, I stayed in the Needham Commercial Hotel, which was their top suite, but this suite seems to be very luxuriously decorated, but no matter how you look at it, it is a small family atmosphere!

The area is too small!

If this is changed to a hotel on the Imperial Jingshi side, the top suite will be at least twice the size of this suite!

In the Daheng Empire, multi-storey apartments with more than three or four floors in the city are generally occupied by low- and middle-income families or single people.

Middle- and high-income people usually live in townhouses or single-family apartments.

Very few middle- and upper-income people in the empire will live in high-rise apartments in urban areas.

But I heard that many decent people in Needham can only live in some high-rise and narrow apartments, and only in a few high-end communities can there be some townhouses or single-family apartments, and non-powerful and rich people cannot live.

In Jiang Wanye's view, this situation is almost unimaginable...... Isn't it just living, why do you have to be crowded in the city center, the townhouse or single-family apartment in the middle and high neighborhoods of the suburbs is not fragrant?

Alas, when he thought so, Jiang Wanye subconsciously forgot, but every country can expand the urban area almost unlimitedly with a vast territory and a lot of arable land like the Great Heng Empire.

And if you live in the suburbs, you have to have transportation! , not every country is as rich in horses as the Great Heng Empire, and the price of horses is very cheap.

There are generally a lot of public carriages in Daheng City and the fares are cheap, and many families generally have their own carriages, although the carriages do not look good, but they are also carriages.

In terms of living alone, Jiang Wanye felt that these Kruer people couldn't catch up with the empire, even if they were Daheng people during the war, they wouldn't live so hard.

After Jiang Wanye arrived in Needham with some members of the mission, he first held a long meeting with the personnel of the Krull Kingdom, mainly discussing some issues during the meeting, and held talks in advance on the topics of concern to both sides.

After all, the formal talks in a few days will not be too long, and the high-level meeting at that time will have greater symbolic significance, and during Ding Quankun's visit to the Krull Kingdom, it is mainly to discuss major matters and set the tone, and some details naturally need to be solved in advance by Jiang Wanye and other diplomatic officials.

Therefore, Jiang Wanye is also very busy, and he has to meet with Deackenson, the foreign minister of the Krull Kingdom, every day!

The frequent meetings between the foreign ministers of the two countries are enough to show that both countries attach great importance to this meeting.

The Daheng Empire is involved in the heavyweight Minister of Staff Ding Quankun, while on the side of the Krull Kingdom, it is the deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs on their side.

This is the highest-level formal meeting between the two countries in recent decades, and given the recent complications in the relationship, it is not uncommon for the two countries to value each other.

On August 3, the 10th year of the reign of the Emperor, the meeting team personally led by Ding Quankun arrived in Nidham.

Because this is also the first time that a heavyweight high-ranking official at the level of a counselor has been sent to visit after the unification of the Daheng Empire, the Krull Kingdom also attaches great importance to it, and its deputy prime minister personally greeted him at the port, and invited Ding Quankun and other people to see their honor guard.

In order to ensure security, the Krull Kingdom has also temporarily sealed off the port and nearby neighborhoods.

After the welcoming ceremony at the port, Ding Quankun and other members of the mission were escorted by the King's Guard from the Krull Kingdom to the Needham Commercial Hotel.

At the same time, the hotel has been completely emptied, only the Daheng Empire mission and his party stayed, in order to show attention, but also to ensure safety, the Krull Kingdom also sent the King's Guard to block and surround the entire hotel.

Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no conspirators to carry out assassinations, such as the Olisa Empire or the Valia Empire and the Kekel Empire, which are estimated to be desperate for Ding Quankun to die in Nydam, the Kingdom of Krull, and then break the relationship between the two countries and even cause a war.

Therefore, regarding the safety of Ding Quankun and his party, the Krull Kingdom is even more concerned than the Daheng Empire!

Hundreds of its elite king's guards have been providing strict protection for Ding Quankun since Ding Quankun got off the ship, and even the officials of the Krull Kingdom themselves want to cross this security blockade line, who knows if there are any officials of the Krull Kingdom who have been bribed......

As for the security and internal service personnel in the hotel, they have also been replaced by Daheng people's own personnel.

On the day of the arrival of the mission, after the welcoming ceremony was over, Ding Quankun had time to find Jiang Wanye and other people who had come to the front station to inquire about the situation carefully.

Ding Quankun is no longer the young bandit he was back then, and he has been in a high position for a long time, and his mentality has gradually changed.

This move is full of the atmosphere of an important minister of the empire.

However, except for a few early core people in the empire, few people knew that Ding Quankun had always been greedy for life and afraid of death.

This time he visited the Krull Kingdom, in fact, Ding Quankun was also a little afraid.

How could he not know that if he went to the Krull Kingdom, he would probably become the target of assassination by many conspirators, in order to ensure the safety of his own life, he was cheeky to find Lin Ziran before leaving, and asked Lin Ziran to send a few imperial guards to protect him after rolling around.

The palace affairs department of the Daheng Empire has a guard section under the personal jurisdiction of Lin Ziran, which is responsible for the personal security of Lin Ziran and other members of the royal family.

The guards of the guard department and the imperial military attache attendants of the Great Heng Empire are two completely different concepts.

The attendant military attachés in the military attaché's chamber are actually all active high-ranking officers.

The chief military attache of the Daheng Empire is Zhang Hanqiu, a top military boss, who is also the commander of the Guards.

The other military attachés in the military attache chamber are also middle and senior generals in the three armies, and the most recent one is also a colonel.

Their main job is to follow Lin Ziran and answer any military questions at any time.

And the imperial guards in the palace department are pure security personnel, and now in the empire, there is no one more professional than the imperial guards in the palace department in terms of protecting people.

They may be average in fighting marksmanship, but the ability to protect key personnel at critical moments is absolutely first-class.

Ding Quankun was afraid of death, so he specially asked Lin Ziran for a few imperial guards to protect his life.

Of course, only Lin Ziran himself knew that Ding Quankun at that time was playing tricks on this imperial guard, saying that he would fight the world with you, the boss, and he hadn't had time to enjoy happiness for a few years, what if he was killed by the assassin who had received a thousand knives during his visit!

It's annoying to let Lin Ziran look at it himself!

In order not to let him continue to annoy himself, this will make a slight exception, and send a few imperial guards to accompany him on the visit.

However, this did make Ding Quankun feel a lot more at ease, and living in a heavily protected hotel, Ding Quankun also had the heart to think about this meeting.

Before coming, Lin Ziran personally explained to him that the core purpose of this meeting was one: to ease relations and maintain trade.

The empire can't afford to lose the market of the Krull Kingdom now, and it doesn't plan to completely turn around with the Krull Kingdom now, so it is very necessary to ease relations.

And it is not so easy to ease the relationship!

Others may not know why the Krull Kingdom suddenly turned against the empire, but Ding Quankun, as a high-ranking member of the empire, is very clear.

It's not a trade conflict between the two countries, in fact there is no trade conflict between the two countries.

The biggest conflict is that the Great Heng Empire is trying to develop a large-scale navy, and the goal of naval expansion is to surpass the navy of the Krull Kingdom!

Whether it is the second phase of the naval development plan or the current third phase of the naval development plan, the development goal of the Daheng Imperial Navy has always been very clear, that is, to surpass the navy of the Krull Kingdom and become the world's first navy!

The most important thing is that the Krull people did not know from what channel they got an internal report of the navy, which said on the black and white paper: formulate a perfect shipbuilding plan, the number and performance of the capital ships within ten years will not be weaker than the Krull Kingdom, surpass the Krull Kingdom within fifteen years, and lay the foundation of the first navy.

If it was just a report, the Krull people wouldn't feel anything, but when they dug deeper and learned that the Daheng Empire had secretly built more than a dozen capital ships in the past two years, and was still brewing a larger-scale shipbuilding plan, they were a little panicked.

It's not that there are no countries that want to surpass the navy of the Krull Kingdom, but the country that really has the courage and the strength to do it, so far there is really only one country, the Daheng Empire.

The Valia Empire and the Kekel Empire have been shouting slogans for so many years, but the combined number of new capital ships of the two of them is not more than half of the navy of the Krull Kingdom.

However, this Daheng Empire has started construction of more than a dozen capital ships in the past two years, and there are a large number of shipbuilding plans in the next few years.

If the Great Heng people really want to do it, within five years, the naval strength of the Great Heng people, especially in the new capital ships, will be able to reach half or even more of the new capital ships of the Krull Kingdom Navy.

If you toss it for a few more years, it is very possible to match the navy of the Krull Kingdom.

In the face of the large-scale shipbuilding of the Daheng Empire, the Krull people will naturally not be indifferent, they themselves are expanding the scale of shipbuilding, and at the same time, they are also taking measures to limit the technological development of the Daheng Empire.

All kinds of top-quality machinery and equipment, especially equipment that can be used in the field of warships, will be discontinued.

Even after their Foreign Secretary, Deackenson, returned home, he submitted a report that was extremely unfavorable to the Great Heng Empire, which described the current industrial scale of the Great Heng Empire and the huge war potential in the future, and proposed that in the future, the two countries would inevitably break out into a full-scale competition, and the Great Heng Empire would become the greatest challenge to the Krull Kingdom.
