The Dutch Embassy, Rhodes looked pale at the soldiers of the Chinese Empire, who had been guards at the Dutch Embassy ten minutes ago, and in the blink of an eye they had become the ones who expelled them.

"I would like to see Your Majesty, I have no knowledge of the embassy personnel about this matter, and I hope that the Empire will allow us to return to Holland safely."

Rhodes was in a terrible mood, and he almost felt the urge to kill Eric after learning that he had attacked the garrison of Geranza.

Now he misses Blake's time as governor general, which was also the honeymoon period for the Netherlands and the kingdom of Chongqing at that time.

But now everything is ruined by that stupid group of politicians.

Tang Wenjie was ordered to personally expel the personnel of the Dutch Embassy, he shook his head, "The emperor is very disappointed in your country now, in the emperor's opinion, you are not a trustworthy ally, Rod, it is better to take your people away, the two countries are at war without killing them, since the empire has chosen to expel you, it will naturally not secretly plot to kill you again." ”

Rhodes sighed deeply, he could imagine how angry Xiao Ming was now, after all, for an emperor like Xiao Ming, it was not easy to tolerate a colony of a Western country controlling such a large area in Asia.

And now the Capitol crowd has succeeded in giving him an excuse.

"Dad, I don't want to go back to the Netherlands, compared to Qingzhou, the Netherlands is like the countryside." Rod's youngest daughter, Mandy, who is only six years old, said aggrievedly.

Rod's wife put her arms around her daughter and looked at Rhodes with some sadness, looking for a better life is not human beings.

During this time in Qingzhou, they were accustomed to the convenience brought by electricity, so they were very uncomfortable when they thought of using whale oil for lighting again.

"My daughter, even if the Netherlands is rural, it is our country." Rod said sadly, even though he did not want to see the Chinese Empire and the Dutch fighting each other.

But now it's happening.

Mandy listened to her father's words and couldn't help but cry.

Tang Wenjie's expression did not change, as a diplomat, he knew very well that this was what he should bear as a diplomat.

If one day he is sent to another country, when he is expelled, his choice is expected to be not much different from that of Rhodes, after all, their purpose in a foreign country is still to serve their own country.

"It's not early, the locomotive to Dengzhou is about to depart, I hope you don't delay any longer." Tang Wenjie reminded again.

Rod nodded helplessly, and he and a group of Dutch diplomats left with their luggage under the guarded by the soldiers.

In the Prussian embassy, not far from the Dutch embassy, the embassy staff who were working stopped what they were doing and looked at the departing Dutch through the glass window.

One diplomat worried: "Heaven forbid that the fate of our Prussia will not be the same as that of the Netherlands." ”

"We are here to prevent the tragedy of the Dutch from happening to us, so it is essential to use the technology of the Chinese Empire to unify the German Confederation."

The crowd turned their heads and found that their ambassador, Bossi, had appeared in front of them at some unknown moment.

"Is the news confirmed?" A diplomat asked.

"It is certain that the Dutch attacked the Imperial soldiers in the city of Geranza, and war broke out." Bossi replied.

He had just returned from the Empire's Foreign Affairs Office.

"Sad Dutch, they have been miserably killed by England and France, and when they are completely driven out of Asia, they will understand that the Netherlands cannot get any benefit from England and France."

Another person said.

Persi nodded, "Now I am worried that Britain and France will put pressure on Prussia in the hope that the king will make a wise decision. ”

"The Chinese Empire has taught us the principles of the conquest rifle and the flowering bullet, and if they want war, we can accompany them at any time."

"That's right, they've been preventing the unification of the German Confederation all these years, and if they provoke us, they'll give them a little color."

“……”

The atmosphere in the embassy suddenly became warm because of this question, and a smile floated on Bossi's face, which is the mental state of every Prussian now.

Once they were ready, the German Confederation would regain its glory.

……

Calcutta.

This is the headquarters of the British East India Company on the shore of the Ganges estuary in the Bay of Bengal.

In 1643, the East India Company bought Calcutta from the princely state of Bengal. At that time, this Kolkata village was small, but it was very useful.

Because of the abundance of rice and jute in the surrounding area of Kolkata, and the rivers crisscrossing it, the plains stretch as far as the eye can see, making it a very suitable land for farming.

Upon discovering this, the East India Company set up a trading headquarters here and profited from the steady flow of Indian grain and industrial raw materials back to England.

These huge profits also made the East India Company stronger, and the British East India Company seized Madras and Bombay, establishing three jurisdictions there.

Each jurisdiction had a governor to administer it, and through these three places, India was encroached upon, and finally through the Seven Years' War, the Min Fan Empire, which had already ruled at that time, completely controlled India.

The British also profited handsomely from the battlefield, and when they invaded the treasury of the Min Fan Empire, they looted the equivalent of 50 million pounds sterling in gold, silver and jewelry.

This figure is only part of what has been handed over to the British government, and it is said that more wealth has been stuffed into the pockets of individuals.

At the same time, the war initiated by the East India Company also made the East India Company itself a behemoth.

"Governor Nicholas, the Chinese Empire has broken through Nurant, and we got the news too late."

In the Governor's Office, Nicholas was carefully studying a ruby when Buterin, dressed in a red military uniform, appeared in front of him.

Nicholas looked up, his expression dissatisfied, "Buterin, you're always so upset, every time you come you bring me bad news. ”

As he spoke, Nicholas tucked the ruby into his jewelry box, which had just been given to him by the princes of an Indian princely state.

"I'm very sorry, but I'm afraid we don't have much time, the pace of the Chinese Empire is too fast, I'm afraid the next one to lose is Calcutta." Buterin said with a blank expression.

Although Nicholas was the governor of Calcutta of the East India Company, he was an officer sent by the British government to help the East India Company put down the rebellion in the princely states, and his family position was prominent in the country, so he did not appear humble to Nicholas.

Buterin's words stiffened Nicholas's expression, and he sneered; "This is India, not Australia, not Nuland, and it will not be easy for the Chinese Empire to defeat us here."
