Ambassadors from the kingdoms of Spain, the Netherlands, France, Sweden and other kingdoms were summoned to the General Hall of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

They received a diplomatic invitation from China this winter to announce an important news to them at the General Hall of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, namely a press conference.

This form of diplomacy is undoubtedly very novel, and they also want to see what the Chinese people want to do.

Before waiting for the appearance of the Minister of Rites, the ambassadors in charge of diplomacy in China.

Ambassadors from Spain, the Netherlands and other countries were obviously dissatisfied with the two kingdoms of France and Sweden making peace with the sacred alliance.

The first time the continental alliance collapsed due to the separation of two land powers, France and Sweden, was quite complained about the kingdoms that were still resisting in Spain and the Netherlands.

"The battle has made more progress than when Gustav II. According to Prince Conde, the other party seemed to have used firepower, fired muskets and artillery with a longer range. The courage of our knights was useless in front of their advanced muskets and artillery. In order to redeem Paris, we had to make compromises." The French ambassador looked indifferent.

"Our Swedish kingdom also encountered setbacks in the Jutland Peninsula, and the queen fell into their hands and had to stop the war." The Swedish ambassador looked at the ambassadors of Spain and the Netherlands, "What are you Spain and the Netherlands going to do?"

The ambassadors of two maritime powers with fleets in Spain and the Netherlands looked at each other: "They are taking away our sea business and we have to fight."

"It's too difficult to defeat their fleet. They have ironclad ships and a large number of wooden sailboats..." Both the French and Swedish ambassadors were not optimistic about this.

While they were discussing, the minister of the Ministry of Rites who had negotiated with them came in, causing the ambassadors of all countries to silence.

They looked at the ministers of the Ministry of Rites with the Eastern Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Holy Ho

"You may have some hostility and misunderstandings about our East, but this is a normal thing. In order to promote our understanding, we invite you to go to the East in five years to participate in the grand banquet we held. We will show our culture and technology at the banquet. Correspondingly, you can also bring specialties, technologies and treasures from your countries to show your culture. We regard this exchange as the World Expo."

"Not only your continental kingdoms, we will also invite some influential kingdoms in West Asia and South Asia to participate in the World Expo, and exchange culture and technology from all over the country. Five years later, our steamships and sailing ships will appear all over the world, picking up and sending you to the East to see the most advanced technology in the world."

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites expressed their intentions.

The ambassadors of various countries were stunned when they heard the Minister of Rites invite them to go to the East to participate in the World Expo in five years.

They never thought that a country would take the initiative to send invitations to the kingdoms of the world, inviting them to go to the East to attend a grand event called the "Wan Nation Expo".

And there are also boats to pick up and drop off the ambassadors. What kind of courage does this require to hold such an event!

"We not only welcome the ambassadors of all countries, but also sincerely invite all kings, princes, archbishops and others to go to the East to participate in the World Expo. We will ensure your safety." said the Minister of Rites.

The ambassadors of the countries were stunned again. The other party's tone was too loud, and even the royal family, bishop and other figures were invited to the East.

"Isn't it because I want to lure our continental royal family to the East and then catch our royal family in one go?" The French ambassador asked questions on behalf of other ambassadors.

"No need." The Minister of Rites shook his head contemptuously, "We have no interest in your royal family and the Archbishop. Our strength is hard for you to imagine. If you arrive at the Eastern Capital, you will find that the gap is so huge."

"I'm too arrogant!" The Spanish ambassador hit the table, "Do you really think you are omnipotent gods?"

"Hey, if you don't believe that you will know that you will come to the East in five years." The Minister of Rites sneered, "Seeing is true, hearing is false, and the World Expo will open your eyes. The above is what I want to say. In five years, we will pick up and drop off envoys from various countries in Denmark, London, Lisbon, Athens and other places. Our official invitation will be delivered to Constantinople, Isfahan, Vienna, Moscow, Madrid and other places in the next year. Of course, you can refuse or not send people, but you can miss this opportunity to contact the most advanced civilizations in the world, so you can do it yourself."

“…”

The ambassadors of all countries were a little annoyed when they saw the Minister of Rites who seemed to me invite all the countries in the world, but if you love them, you would not love them.

The other party seemed arrogant and did not even take their king or royal family seriously.

However, the other party seems to have such capital, after all, the Holy Allied Army defeated the two powerful countries, France and Sweden.

After the simple and original press conference, the ambassadors of various countries walked out of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce with concern. They learned about the convening of the World Expo five years later, and for a moment they did not know how to explain this to their kings and the aristocratic groups in the country.

"Will you send people to the capital in the East to attend the so-called 'National Expo'? If we go to participate, wouldn't we recognize their hegemony?"

"The Eastern people have a really big ambitions. They actually want to be the leader of the world. If all the countries in the world respond to their call, they will probably realize their ambitions."

"If we talk to the king and the others about this, they will definitely not go to the east easily. If this is a trap, all the royal families may be caught by them. Moreover, the ocean sailing is very dangerous, and our king or crown prince's accidents in the middle of the journey will affect the stability of the kingdom."

"It's still a long time. It's better to observe the other party's power within these five years and then see if it's necessary to go to the East to participate in this World Expo. Perhaps the so-called expo will allow us to understand this mysterious civilization and discover the reasons for their strength. Otherwise, we may be passive everywhere." said the French ambassador.

A group of ambassadors had their own worries. They were not able to predict the future well. They could only care about gains and losses in their hearts. They did not want to agree to the invitation of the Minister of Rites for the time being, otherwise they would be regarded as recognizing the hegemony of the East. Spain and the Netherlands had not yet surrendered, and Sweden was hard to say, while France and the Ottoman Empire were definitely unwilling to fail.

However, the ambassadors said verbally that they didn't want it, and five years later they went to attend the First World Expo honestly.
