C2140 St. Pauls Cathedral (1/2)

”Impossible!” How did he train it? It's impossible for the Chinese to train such an army... ” Sir Gordon who was seated behind the horse carriage stood up in shock, his head knocked against the roof of the carriage, causing him to grimace in pain.

The guest that Sir Gordon was accompanying was Xiang Ying. This Captain who was dressed in a navy gown was as handsome as a statue. He had a playful smile on his face as he said, ”Isn't he a Chinese? Who are they, then? The army of elves of the West? ”

”No, no, no, that's not what I meant … I have fought in China, I have personally trained Chinese soldiers, I admit that Chinese soldiers are hardworking and obedient, but... Today, these armies have completely exceeded my imagination! ”

”My dear Sir Gordon, the China that you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg. The war-torn Jiangnan cannot represent the whole of China. ”Then don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?”

Gordon hit a soft nail on his head and awkwardly sat back down, he was extremely shocked in his heart, ”Ah, Prime Minister! It seems like your idea is useless, even if this Xiao Letian doesn't speak, he can still make a name for himself in Europe. Just based on his reputation as one of the armies, he can't be suppressed! ”

Benjamin sat on the first carriage in the distance. He did not know that such a wondrous sight had appeared behind the convoy at all, and the long queue blocked his sight.

At this moment, he and the Tongzhi Emperor were immersed in a conspiracy negotiation.

”Your Majesty, your speech just now was really too brilliant. For Great Qing to have such a wise emperor like you, I think there shouldn't be a problem with ZTE …”

Of course, Zai Chun would also not miss this rare opportunity to exchange privately. He smiled and said, ”Thank you very much, very much, for preparing this grand welcoming ceremony, and thank you very much for your love to me … But even though ZTE is my dream, it's also very difficult! ”

Benjamin laughed, he was not afraid of Zai Chun bringing difficulties to himself, he was only afraid that Zai Chun would not have difficulties, if he could invest in a Eastern Sovereign King this time, and bring endless benefits to the empire, his name would definitely be known throughout the history of the empire, the future generations of the empire would definitely create a sculpture of him.

”Your Majesty, of course there will be difficulties in governing a country. The mediocre will be knocked down by those difficulties while the brave warriors will go against the current... ”I believe that Your Majesty must be the latter. If you need my help, I am very willing to do whatever I can …”

Zai Chun had an impulse to directly ask Benjamin for money, guns, and military assistance. However, at the last moment, he was still able to endure it.

Xiao Letian had told him more than once that the larger the negotiations, the more one couldn't rush to succeed. Diplomacy was like a test, so it was best not to reveal his trump card immediately.

Zai Chun suppressed the desire in his heart and let out a long sigh. ”After all, I'm still travelling and studying, so the empire isn't in my hands yet. ZTE should wait until after I get my hands on it …”

Benjamin didn't expect a thirteen year old child to have such a calm mentality, and couldn't help but think a bit more highly of him. He didn't continue to persevere and instead, introduced the buildings along the way to Zai Chun.

”The St. Paul's Cathedral is the central church of our Church of England. It was built in 1675 and completed in 1710. It can be said to be one of the most spectacular churches in Britain …”

”In a moment, you will slowly walk up the steps and into the hall. Please raise your head and look up at the dome, which is 111 meters high. In the center of the dome, there is a small but intense light. The great Sir Newton, when looking up at this light, felt the Lord's call …”

”Didn't the Chinese believe in fate very much? If Your Majesty was destined, I think I could see God's figure in that light and hear God's call …”

Zai Chun asked with interest. ”Really? Can God bless my Great Qing? ”
