This is a detailed diplomatic visit schedule that reaches a hundred pages, and the British side made detailed arrangements based on the process of the joint fleet.

Since the Joint Fleet entered the Mediterranean, London has used the Telegram Network, which currently has a high coverage rate in Europe to begin to learn more about the itinerary of the Joint Fleet.

All the lighthouses and observation posts along the Mediterranean coast and islands are recording the itinerary of the Zhiyuan and are feedback to London at any time. At the most exaggerated time, six telegrams were sent to London in a day.

It is precisely because of the accurate grasp of time that the UK has come up with a welcome plan that is accurate to the hour.

The United Fleet will definitely not reach London today. The time when the Zhiyuan arrived at the mouth of the Thames was dusk. The British side could not prepare a welcome ceremony, so Xiao Lotte and the others had to sleep on the sea for one night.

The next day, on July 25, Zhiyuan officially entered the Thames accompanied by Victory, while the other accompanying fleets were anchored on the ground, most of Xiao Lotte's envoy team would land here and enter London along the land route.

This plan is too detailed. The envoys led by Xiao Letian include not only guards, but also imperial chefs, dramatists, and attendants. They also have a lot of accompanying items and gifts.

These personnel and supplies will be transported by the British side thirty-six carriages and will enter the head of state's rest in London in advance, the East Palace, the old residence of the Duke of Marlborough.

While the entourage entered London, the Zhiyuan, which Xiao Lotte and Zai Chun, took, began to enter the Thames River, and anchored in front of the Tower Bridge in London, and went ashore.

British Prime Minister Benjamin will lead all cabinet members to wait here to welcome him, and Xiao Lotte and Zai Chun will take the Prime Minister's carriage to St. Paul's Cathedral.

The British Crown Prince Edward will hold a small welcome ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral, from here on, the royal family took over the welcome ceremony from the British Prime Minister.

It was here that the envoys began to be divided into two parts. The first carriage was accompanied by Prince Edward and His Majesty Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty. They deserved to be the first position.

Following closely by Prime Minister Benjamin and Duke of Newcastle accompanied Xiao Lotte in a second royal carriage, followed by Buckingham Palace.

Behind these two carriages are the carriages of many Chinese high-ranking officials such as Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun, and Luo Huo, and they are also accompanied by British high-ranking nobles.

Xiao Letian frowned and continued to look down!

On both sides of the road where the carriage was marching, there were teams of ceremonies gathered spontaneously by London citizens, which initially estimated that more than 50,000 would be exceeded.

Queen Victoria waits for the East's guests at Buckingham Palace and holds a grand lunch, where the banquet hall of Buckingham Palace will be temporarily open to European journalists for twenty minutes.

Within these twenty minutes, the Queen and Emperor Tongzhi will be arranged to speak, and this is the first time Zai Chun makes a voice to Europe.

Director Wang clicked on the timetable, "See, there is no us, no head of state, you! Only the Queen and His Majesty's speeches will end the interview and start the banquet..."

Xiao Letian waved his hand and smiled, "I'll take a look again, I'll take a look again, this is not a big deal..." He said this, but Xiao Letian was a little unhappy.

This state visit was unilaterally contacted by our Chinese and the United Kingdom, and Zai Chun was just a follower as my apprentice!

You British are not blind. Can't you see that more than 90% of the envoys in this mission are members of the Chinese? The Qing Dynasty did not agree with this visit from beginning to end, but Zai Chun was overseas and they had no choice.

However, in the plan schedule arranged by the British, it was obvious that Zai Chun was overlord. The British placed Zai Chun above Xiao Letian, and the entire welcome ceremony was all about Emperor Tongzhi. Xiao Letian did not even have the chance to speak publicly.

Xiao Letian took a deep breath to suppress the irritability in his heart. He knew that the so-called face was false. Zai Chun was the emperor after all, and he was just a prime minister and a prime minister of an emerging force. It was normal for the British to underestimate him.

Xiao Letian is a second-skinned face who only focuses on the inner world but not the face. As long as he gets real benefits in the end, he doesn't mind giving face to Zaichun, but he can't eat face.

Besides, Emperor Tongzhi was in the same match with his master and apprentice, and being a master is also an obligation to build momentum for his disciples, so there is nothing to argue with.

Then, the plan says that when the luncheon is over, the queen will walk alone in the garden with Jae-chun and drink tea for an hour.

"Alone? What does this mean? Can I not listen?" Xiao Letian asked in confusion as he looked at the Duke of Newcastle.

"Yes, respected head of state, after lunch, only the queen and His Majesty Tongzhi meet alone. Don't look at me in doubt, I don't know what the queen will say..."

Xiao Letian knew that he couldn't ask anything from the old fox, so he continued to look.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zai Chun and the Queen will take the Queen's carriage, the highest-level Queen's Royal Carriage, from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey, where will the British Bishop welcome the visit of the Eastern Monarch.

You can also visit the Parliament Building and Big Ben. At 5:30 pm, the envoys and the British royal family will go to the State Banquet Hall adjacent to the British Admiralty. A grand dinner and cocktail party will be held here.

The planned cocktail party will end at 10 pm, but now is the time for the nobles to rest, and the atmosphere of state visits will become easier. With the company of music, alcohol and women, the cocktail party may be delayed until late at night.

It is difficult to arrange the time at this time. The Eastern Envoy will decide according to its own schedule when to return to the residence, which is the East Palace, the old house of the former Duke of Marlborough.

"What? Jae-chung is going to stay in Buckingham Palace after the banquet? Wouldn't he stay with us..."

It was not until now that Xiao Letian knew where Director Wang’s atmosphere was. It turned out that Emperor Tongzhi and his eunuchs and guard team were about to part ways with the Chinese people after the cocktail party.

Zai Chun was arranged to live in Buckingham Palace, but Xiao Letian could only live in the old duke's house five or six hundred meters away. This is the bare-split mission!

It’s not that the duke’s mansion is not good. In such diplomatic activities that are rare in history, the British will never provide broken houses to the Chinese.

The Duke of Marlborough is also the best among the British nobles. His old house must be magnificent and able to match Xiao Letian's identity, but what does it matter if Zai Chun and himself are divided?

"Hisser Duke, what do you mean? Why do you separate the arrangements from Emperor Tongzhi and me? And I also looked at it and found that the arrangements for visits between me and Emperor Tongzhi were not consistent!"
