Chapter 1748 Luxury steam passenger ship Oriental

The giant ship of the Orient appears in the Baltic Sea, which is the Nordic sea area, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the Kingdom of Poland all have territory bordering the Baltic Sea.

The Oriental was blazing with black smoke, and it first appeared in the royal city of Denmark Copenhagen.

A lot of things happened during Chu Yun’s preparation for the World Expo, but not many people paid attention.

The Kingdom of Denmark joined the Holy Alliance of Windsor, and the old Denmark King Christian IV once asked Chu Yun to help him ask Sweden for the territory plundered by the Swedes.

After Chu Yun did it, the old Danish king promised to go to the Oriental Capital to participate in this grand event of the World Expo.

However, last year, the old Danish King Christian IV passed away at Rosenberg Palace. He was too old after all, and his promise was not fulfilled.

The new Danish king was his son Frederick III, the forty-year-old Danish king decided to accept the invitation to attend the World Expo instead of the dead old Danish king. He implemented the same pro-China policy as his father, firmly standing on the side of the sacred alliance to resist the pressure brought by the powerful Swedish kingdom.

Because the European countries already know that the European submarine cable is laid in Europe, they are amazed at the magic of the submarine cable, and at the same time they learn that even if they are in the Eastern Capital, they can issue orders to their kingdoms through telegrams, which makes them feel at ease to attend the World Expo without worrying about being stolen.

"I'm sorry my father cannot go to the East to meet that adult again, but I will follow his last wish to go to the East with you." Frederick III said to the arrival of Chinese crew.

"We will ensure you are absolutely safe." The captain of the Orient welcomed Frederick III's plan to go to the East in person to attend the World Expo.

The king of a kingdom appeared at the World Expo, which may not be despised for Chu Yun and others, but for the Kingdom of Denmark, this was already the highest diplomatic standard - their king would have to endure a long voyage to participate in the grand event in a country that was somewhat unfamiliar to them.

The king of Denmark and the United Kingdom of Norway originally planned to bring hundreds of servants and some Danish and Norwegian nobles on board the ship, but was politely rejected by the captain of the Orient.

Just kidding, although the Oriental has a full load displacement of tens of thousands of tons, it cannot provide services for so many people to sail thousands of miles.

If every king had hundreds of servants, and then the nobles had their own servants, the Oriental ship would probably be full.

"We in Denmark can send two ships to transport some nobles and servants, and we also want to buy a batch of goods in the East." The new Denmark king proposed a compromise plan.

"Yes." The captain of the Orient and the ambassador of the Ministry of Rites who came to greet the Danish envoy would certainly not refuse the Danes' sending two Danish ships to accompany them.

It would be better to say this. It would be too difficult to rely solely on China to provide a huge fleet of ships to the World Expo.

In addition to the Danish king, there were 17 Danish nobles and 215 Danish merchants or servants accompanying each other on two Danish ships.

"Your ship is really luxurious, and it is a special passenger ship. I think it is the most comfortable ship in the world."

King Frederick III of Denmark came to the guest room arranged for him and found that it was decorated in a more exquisite manner and became a special steam passenger ship. In addition, the Oriental hull was huge and stable, so it was suitable for use as a passenger ship.

The Oriental ship has rooms, restaurants, bathrooms and other facilities that are so exquisite that people of this era are unimaginable. In addition, with sealed canned food that can provide relatively fresh food during the long voyage, this passenger ship amazes the kings who have suffered from navigation.

It seems that this long voyage is not as bad as I imagined.

The Denmark even asked the King of War to bring boxes of fine wine to the Oriental, intending to bring his own wine and enjoy this sea voyage.

The Oriental stayed in the Denmark royal city of Copenhagen for a few days, and then appeared in Stockholm, the royal city of the Swedish kingdom.

The Swedish Kingdom also showed great sincerity. The Swedish Queen Christina planned to go to the east in person, which was simply a tit-for-tat confrontation with the Denmark Kingdom.

Originally, the Privy Council of the Swedish Kingdom was unwilling to take the risk of going to the East, but when they knew that the king of the Kingdom of Denmark went to attend the World Expo in the Eastern Capital, they were afraid that the Kingdom of Denmark had reached a secret agreement with the other party, so they agreed to go to the East as well.

In order to confront the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Sweden also sent two large sailing ships.

A team of Swedish guards wearing red tassels more than one foot tall and wearing medieval military uniforms escorted Swedish Queen Christina to the dock and boarded the giant ship of the Orient.

As for the other great nobles who accompanied them, they were also lucky to go to the giant ship of the Orient, while the little nobles and merchants could only travel to the East on their own sailing boats of the Swedish Kingdom.

"Frederick III, it's a privilege to be on the same ship as you." Christina met King Frederick III of Denmark at the restaurant of the Oriental.

The King of Denmark and Swedish have never dealt with each other for land disputes over the past few decades. Frederick III did not show much enthusiasm for this young queen, but just responded lightly: "I didn't expect that the Swedes would be relieved to let a woman go to the East to participate in the World Expo after a long voyage. Are you not afraid that your weak body cannot withstand the storms and diseases on the sea?"

"I have been trained in swordsmanship and equestrian since I was a child, and I may not be much worse than you. But you are so stoopy. I wonder if the Kingdom of Bhutan is getting poorer and poorer. I am afraid that it is not your poverty." Queen Christina sneered.

Frederick III in her 40s can be said to be a person of her father, but she did not give Frederick III any face.

"You...!" Frederick III slapped the knife and fork on the table, and was angry with Christina's words.

It seems that the King of Denmark and Queen of Sweden are pointed at by the heads of the Maiman, and the captain of the Orient can only interrupt their mutual mockery as soon as possible: "His Excellency Queen Christina, we have specially prepared women's cabins for you, with separate bathrooms and maids' room."

"You are so thoughtful, you can actually give it to ordinary cabins." Christina was quite surprised.

"This is the arrangement of our consul. Any woman who goes to participate in the World Expo this time should be treated preferentially, not to mention the beautiful Queen Christina." The captain of the Oriental has learned the Western-style speaking style, and it is completely unconcealed to praise.

"Thank you." Christina was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement.
