Chapter 1785: Establishment of the Eastern System

"The next thing is to lay cables in various countries. You should also understand that we can convey the message through a special line. If you want us to provide this service, we need to have our people carry out engineering construction on your territory. Please open the territory of all kingdoms and let us lay the wires."

Before the ambassadors of various countries recovered, Chu Yun made the fourth proposal to lay wires around the world to facilitate communications and future dump electrical products.

I have controlled the power supply and wires all over the world, and I can control them anytime I want in the future...

At present, the submarine cables communicate with three oceans, but the laying of cables on land is not enough to connect major towns around the world. To lay telegrams on the continent and obtain local information, wires are also required to be laid with their consent.

All the ambassadors present learned the concept of "electricity" through the World Expo, and also knew the role of wires and telegraphs, one used to transmit electricity and the other used to obtain information carried by current.

What they don’t know is the most critical part, such as how to generate electricity, what is the structure of wires and telegraphs. What they know is only the purpose and some rough principles. If you want to truly develop generators and telegraphs, you need to explore for a considerable period of time or get Chu Yun’s technical assistance.

Before we obtained the technology, only Chu Yun had the ability to produce generators, wires and telegraph machines.

These ambassadors were once again caught in heated discussions, opening up their territory and allowing Chu Yun to lay wires on it. Wouldn't Dongfang control the wires, and Dongfang's orders could be transmitted to them as soon as possible?

"We can lay wires in our Kingdom of France, but we need to own and use the wires. In return, we can pay you a sum of money." Prince Kongde always felt that letting Chu Yun lay wires in France's territory at will was not very at ease.

After all, they only have a rough understanding of telegram.

"You should have used our telegrams to send messages to their respective kingdoms during this period, and you should know the value of telegrams. Telegram and wire technology are technologies that we have. My move is to facilitate contact between all countries and to lay wires and place transmitters in your territory for free. Although you need to pay telegram fees to us at normal prices when using telegrams, you can enjoy the most advanced technology from the royal family to the civilians." Chu Yun mastered the core technology and was not worried that the other party could reject the temptation brought by the new technology.

If you want to use telegraphs in their kingdom, you need to agree to Chu Yun's conditions - he will provide personnel with wire laying and recognize that Huaxia has ownership of the laying wires and deployed telegraph machines.

It is estimated that the ambassadors of various countries do not know that telegrams can be eavesdropped. If they use telegrams provided by China for contact, it is very likely that all intelligence will fall into the ears of the monitors, not to mention that the telegrams must be handled by the telegraphers.

Chu Yun's strict requirements on providing wire and telegraph services put the ambassadors in a dilemma.

The emergence of telegraphs and wires is really important, and this is the only long-distance instant messaging method they know at present.

However, the Chinese control the telegrams and wires in their territory, and they dare not let the Chinese handle important information. The telegrams and communications among the people are nothing important.

"I don't rush to reply to me. The only thing about our local telegram layout has not been completed, and the project of laying a wire network in the continental region will have to wait for a while. But I believe that soon, the entire continent will be covered with wires provided by us." Chu Yun was fearless.

At present, he is the only one in the world who has this technology, and then all the nations will ask him for technical support.

Chu Yunanran's attitude made the ambassadors shake again.

China is laying a telegraph network on a large scale, while the continent only has London City and Malta Island can use telegraphs, which may make the continental region isolated from the world.

"Let me see what topics there are today... the others are small questions. The most important one is the "Free Navigation Ordinance". All sea areas become safe, and common currency and language are used during international trade to reduce the cost of transactions." Chu Yun looked at the content of the first international conference, and there was no more important thing to announce with these princes and nobles from all over the world.

Originally, Chu Yun had imagined that a world federation could be established, which could use diplomatic means to resolve disputes in the federation. However, the one that may be restricted the most after the establishment of the federation is China itself, such as the small Congress protesting through the federal government that sovereignty was violated.

As far as China is concerned, under the premise of having only one strong country, without a world federation is the best thing, one dominant, and then using the Holy Alliance to monitor the continent, there are almost no worries.

Unless a new powerful country appears in the future, or the world can be truly unified in the future, a world federation may appear.

Chu Yun also mentioned some other minor issues, such as emphasizing some common principles in diplomacy and trade to make up for some of the shortcomings of current diplomatic and international trade rules.

After this meeting, a special "Technical Assistance Regulations", "World Common Language and Currency Regulations", and "Submarine Cables and Roadbed Wires Regulations" will be promulgated. Together with the "Free Navigation Regulations", a series of international common standards proposed by Chu Yun will be strengthened, and the Oriental Beijing system will be constructed.

Except for England, Denmark, Portugal, and the Kingdom of Bangladesh with special relations, the Knights of the Hospital signed four regulations, other countries only signed some treaties, and some of them did not sign any treaties. In particular, the abandoned Barbary pirates were even more angry. They believed that the Chinese-led "Free Navigation Regulations" that would crack down on pirates would completely cut off their life.

However, no one paid attention to the Barbary Pirates, because sooner or later, the Barbary Pirates will be eliminated. The ocean has begun to attack each other from the disorderly attacks each other in the Age of Discovery toward order. Each country needs goods from other countries, including China, and raw materials from other places.

It will take some time for the ambassadors of various countries to digest the new order. Chu Yun also gives them enough time to join the world system dominated by the East at any time. For countries that join the system, it will give some sweetness, and the countries that do not join will be beaten up later.

"You can also live in the capital for a while, and then we will arrange a passenger ship to send you back. If you think clearly, you can come to our Ministry of Rites at any time." Chu Yun knew that most countries would join civilized society to adapt to the new rules of the game of capital and trade guides.
