Chapter 912: London

Tulip Palace, London. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the palace where Queen Victoria lives and works, and Prime Minister Murphy arrives early in the morning.

"Lady Millie, please inform the Queen that the Queen's guest from the Great Chongqing Kingdom has arrived, and now the parliamentarians are waiting for her." When the palace housekeeper appeared, Murphy couldn't wait, because in his opinion, this matter was very important.

Before Millie could speak, a graceful woman in full costume came out of the room, she was Queen Victoriamia, who had succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen.

"Viscount Murphy, I haven't forgotten this important matter, let's go, let's see what the scientific level of the Great Yu Kingdom is?"

With her blonde hair, white face and red lips like fire, Murphy couldn't help but be fascinated every time she saw her.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Murphy withdrew his gaze, he now had a family, otherwise he had no doubt that he would have surrendered to the beautiful queen's dress, like many young nobles in London now.

The white-domed carriage belonging to the Queen had stopped in front of the castle gates, and Murphy mounted his horse and followed the Queen's chariot to the House of Lords on Benjamin Street, where the British royal family, nobles and parliamentarians were waiting for them.

"Viscount Murphy, are all the scholars belonging to France really dead?" Entering the clean bluestone streets of London, Vidomia remembered the news she had just gotten.

Britain is too far away from Dayu, and when she learned about it, more than half a year had passed.

"I'm not sure, it's hard to believe the French, after all, we don't have a good relationship at all." Murphy frowned.

After the French Revolution, French capital merchants ruled the country, and they used the steam engine technology stolen from England, and the French industry developed rapidly, and the country became stronger day by day.

This was definitely not good news for the British, so there was constant friction between the two countries, and France's intervention in the North American war during this period brought the two countries to a freezing point, and they would not have chosen to cooperate if it were not for their common interests in Asia.

"In this way, it is really bad news that the scholar of the Great Yu Kingdom may be alive." Vidomia craned her chin and looked at the black plumes of smoke outside London, which were produced in factories that used steam engines.

After seven or eight years of concealment, the steam engine was no longer a secret to Europe, especially since the Dutch bought back the reciprocating steam engine from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, which made their hard-working secret technology cheaper.

Therefore, in order to earn the surplus value of the steam engine, the House decisively decided to sell the steam engine to other European countries, anyway, they would be able to get it from the Great Chongqing State sooner or later, and it was better to earn it themselves than so.

And under the threat from the Great Chongqing State, those who were originally opposed to the use of the steam engine also shut up, because for the first time Europe had a real enemy in the world, and the country was already using the steam engine to build an industrial country.

So noble Anglo . How can the Saxons lose to the natives of Asia, they have a more solid industrial base, more talent, and a more open academic atmosphere.

In this atmosphere, the steam engine was unimpeded, and factories with black plumes of smoke appeared in every city in England, and the number of industrial products they produced increased day by day.

The only regret was that they found that this was not enough, because they were really amazed by what the Dutch had seen and heard in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Passing by the River Thames, Murphy looked at the bustling streets, and now Britain is as vibrant as the sun at the beginning of the day, and everyone in the UK will be confident in the future until they suffer a defeat in Asia.

"It's a frustration, but at least we've got living scholars." Murphy laughed.

The two of them talked as they reached the House of Lords.

At this time, the British royal family, nobles and parliamentarians have fallen, and in the middle of the House of Lords are standing two people from the Great Chongqing, and at this time, more than a dozen famous British scientists are gathering around the two to ask for something.

"Your Majesty, it's a good day."

An older, gray-haired nobleman, Duke of Patston and now Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, stood up.

"It's a good day." Vidomia smiled, taking her place, and after years of battling the Conservatives after taking the throne, she now holds real power in Britain through the Liberals.

The Duke of Patston was her uncle, and he held an important position in the Liberal Party, and she always held him in high esteem.

"Your Majesty, a month ago we figured out the shells and rifles of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and I have to say that their designs are amazing, just a change in the shape of the bullet makes the musket more powerful, and this kind of cannonball is even more exquisite."

After Paston, a middle-aged man stood up, he was from the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and they were responsible for cracking the technology from the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

"Baron Cordia, I think bullets are a problem, but rifling is another." Murphy shrugged his shoulders as Kodia was in high standing in British academia, and the scientist, known as an all-rounder, had designed a series of machines.

"Of course, it was difficult before, but with the steam engine, rifling is no longer a problem, and I think we should replace the old flintlock pistol." Kodia said.

"We can't be left behind by France and the Netherlands, it is said that the Netherlands has purchased a large number of muskets from the Great Chongqing State, and the most shameful thing is that the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom have arrived in Europe in the name of escort and returned with great grandeur, shouldn't the sea be the backyard of our British Royal Navy?" Vidomia looked serious.

He looked at Kodia, "I'm afraid we are already lagging behind the Great Chongqing Kingdom in science and technology, but now we still have a chance to catch up, and it depends on you, for the good of the British Empire." ”

"For the good of the Empire." Everyone said in unison.

Now they are faced with the obvious problem that a great power in the East is on the rise, and most lethally, they have the ability to sail to Europe.

Vidomia nodded slightly, she looked at the two traitors of the Great Chongqing Kingdom in front of her and said: "As long as you can teach us the technique, I am willing to give you titles, castles and manors in the name of the Queen of England, the more changes you bring to Britain, the more you will get." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The cadets, one tall and one short, were grateful that they had betrayed their kingdom for their own benefit, and that shame had gradually left them after seeing Britain prosper and power, and that they were now desperate to fit into this new country.

For them, the price of betrayal is enough.
