Chapter 1041 Calcutta
At the Dutch Embassy, Rhode looked at the soldiers who were armed with guns and ammunition in the Chinese Empire. Ten minutes ago, these soldiers were still guards of the Dutch Embassy, and in a blink of an eye they became the ones who expelled them.
"I want to see His Majesty, without any knowledge of the staff of the Embassy, and hope that the Empire will bring us back to the Netherlands safely."
Rhode was in a bad mood, and after learning that Eric had attacked the garrison in Jelancha, he almost had the urge to kill him.
Now he misses Black's time as governor, which was also the honeymoon period between the Netherlands and the Great Chongqing Kingdom at that time.
But now everything has been ruined by those stupid politicians.
Tang Wenjie was ordered to expel the staff of the Dutch Embassy himself. He shook his head, "The emperor is very disappointed with your country now. In the eyes of the emperor, you are not trustworthy allies. Rhodes, let's take your people away. The two countries will not kill them when they fight. Since the empire has chosen to expel you, they will naturally not secretly murder you."
Rhode sighed deeply. He could imagine how angry Xiao Ming was now. After all, for an emperor like Xiao Ming, it was no longer easy to tolerate a Western country controlling such a large area of colonies in Asia.
And now the group of people in Congress have successfully made him find an excuse.
"Dad, I don't want to go back to the Netherlands. Compared to Qingzhou, the Netherlands is like a countryside." Rod's youngest daughter, Mandy, who was only six years old, said aggrievedly.
Rhodes's wife hugged her daughter and looked at Rhodes with some sadness. It is impossible for humans to find a better life.
During this time in Qingzhou, they have become accustomed to the convenience brought by electricity, so they are very uncomfortable when they think about using whale oil to light the lamp again.
"My daughter, even if the Netherlands is in the countryside, it is our country." Rhodes said sadly, although he did not want to see the Chinese Empire and the Netherlands fight each other.
But now this is indeed happening.
Mandy couldn't help crying after hearing his father's words.
Tang Wenjie's expression did not change much. As a diplomat, he knew very well that this was what he should bear as a diplomat.
If one day he was sent to other countries, when expelled, his choice would probably not be much different from Rhodes. After all, their purpose in a foreign country was to serve their own country.
"It's getting late, and the motorcycle to Dengzhou is about to set off. I hope you don't delay any more." Tang Wenjie reminded again.
Rhode nodded helplessly, and he and a group of Dutch diplomats left in the custody of the soldiers.
In the Prussian Embassy not far from the Dutch Embassy, the embassy staff who were working stopped their work and looked at the departing Dutch people through the glass window.
A diplomat worried, "God blesses us Prussia's fate will not be the same as that of the Netherlands."
"The purpose of our coming here is to prevent the Dutch tragedy from happening to us, so it is crucial to use the technology of the Chinese Empire to unify the German Federation."
Everyone turned their heads and found that their ambassador Perssi had appeared before them at some point.
"Has the news been confirmed?" asked a diplomat.
"It's certain that the Dutch attacked the imperial soldiers of the city of Geranzza, and the war broke out." Persy replied.
He had just returned from the foreign affairs office of the Empire.
"The sad Dutch, they were hurt by the alliance between Britain and France. When they were completely driven out of Asia, they would understand that the Netherlands could not get any benefit from Britain and France."
Another person said.
Persian nodded, "Now I am worried that Britain and France will put pressure on Prussia, and hope that the king can make a wise decision."
"The Chinese Empire has taught us the principles of the envoy rifles and flowering bullets. If they want to fight, we can always accompany us."
"Yes, they have been blocking the unification of the German Federation over the years. If they provoke us, they will give them a little color."
“…”
The atmosphere in the embassy suddenly became warm because of this problem, and a smile floated on Persy's face. This is the mental state of every Prussian now.
Once they are ready, the German Federation will regain its glory.
...
Kolkata.
This is the headquarters of the British East India Company located on the shore of the Ganges River Estuary in the Bay of Bengal.
In 1643, the East India Company bought Kolkata from the Turkish state of Bengal, India. Although this Kolkata village was small, it had a very powerful effect.
Because the surrounding area of Kolkata is rich in rice and jute, and the rivers are crisscrossed and the plains are boundless, it is a land that is very suitable for cultivation.
After discovering this, the East India Company established a trading headquarters here, transporting India's grain and industrial raw materials back to the UK, making huge profits.
These huge profits have also made the East India Company stronger and stronger. Following this, the British East India Company successively occupied Madras and Mumbai, and established three jurisdictions here.
Each jurisdiction had a governor, and then he encroached on India through these three places. Through the Seven Years War, the Minfan Empire, whose rule had declined, completely controlled India.
Britain also made great profits in the battlefield. When they invaded the treasury of Minfan Empire, the gold, silver and jewelry they robbed were equivalent to 50 million pounds.
This number is only partly handed over to the British government, and it is said that more wealth has been stuffed into their own pockets by individuals.
At the same time, this war initiated by the East India Company also made the East India Company itself a giant.
"Governor Nicholas, the Chinese Empire has already broken Newrant, and we have received the news that he is too late."
Nicholas was carefully studying a ruby in the Governor's Office, and then Butlin, wearing a red military uniform, appeared in front of him.
Nicholas looked up and he looked dissatisfied, "Buttering, you are always so disappointed, and you will bring me bad news every time you come."
While speaking, Nicholas put the ruby into his jewelry box, which was just given to him by a prince of an Indian country.
"I'm very sorry, but we probably don't have much time. The Chinese Empire is too fast, and I'm afraid the next one to lose is Kolkata." Butling said with a blank expression.
Although Nicholas was the governor of Kolkata, he was an officer sent by the British government to help the East India Company to quell the rebellion of the Turkish states. His family status was prominent in China, so he did not appear humble in front of Nicholas.
