[Chapter 1125 Petersburg]

Petersburg.

While Zhao Xu was experiencing the daguerreotype camera with the ministers, the Dasong Mission led by Dong An arrived here after nearly four months of trekking.

“Welcome!” A group of people got off the carriage.

An official from Ross State greeted him.

On both sides of the road stood two rows of soldiers.

These soldiers all leaned their rifled guns on their shoulders, wore dark blue military uniforms, and raised their heads high.

And this official of the State of Ross is none other than Chester, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Ross.

Since Beidi was defeated in Yongzhou, he left the Far East and returned to Petersburg.

In the past few months, because of the defeat of the coalition forces in Tianzhu, he traveled among the western countries to find a way to deal with Da Song.

When he returned to Petersburg exhausted, Emperor Nicholas suddenly told him the arrival of the embassy.

So, he came to the outskirts east of Petersburg to meet the Great Song Mission.

Although at the moment, whether it is Nicholas the Great or him, he will be full of fear, fear and disgust.

But they have to pay attention to the visit of the Great Song Mission.

They cannot but pay attention to a powerful empire that has penetrated deep into the Middle Earth and is also lying in the Far East.

What’s more, the Western Allied Forces that the Eastern Emperor just fought were wiped out.

And this point, the people of the Russian people think they can’t do it.

However, the Ross people are proud again.

He won’t bow his head like Da Song because of this.

This is also the reason why he made the privates hold their heads high.

“Thank you. It’s an honor for us to come to Petersburg.” Dong An’s expression was neither humble nor overbearing.

The translators on both sides translate their words in time.

Chester nodded, and his eyes fell on the Dasong soldiers behind Dong An.

These great soldiers are wearing neat dark green military uniforms and black shiny leather shoes on their feet. Whether it is military uniforms or leather boots, the workmanship is very fine and exquisite.

The rifles carried by these soldiers also attracted his attention.

The entire western land is now imitating this type of breech-loading rifle.

However, according to his observations during this period of time traveling around the world, although their imitation has made progress, the craftsmanship is still a bit rough, the appearance is still frizzy, and the performance is also a little worse.

“Hey.” After just a few glances, Chester sighed in his heart.

These Russian soldiers who greeted the Great Song Mission were already soldiers of Emperor Nicholas’ Guards.

But obviously, no matter how high their heads are raised, they still lose in image.

And this can simply compare the gap in national strength between the two countries.

As for the next plan, Nicholas the Great deliberately asked him to guide the Dasong Mission to visit Petersburg, he thought it was a waste of effort.

Because it is impossible for Petersburg to deter the Dasong Mission the same way it deterred Ulanba.

It may also expose their weaknesses.

However, this was after all an order from Nicholas the Great.

So for the next hour, Dong An, led by Chester, appeared at every important landmark in Petersburg.

Their appearance aroused the onlookers of many Ross people.

These Luo Guo pointed at Dong An and his party, and kept saying something in their mouths, with unfriendly expressions.

Dong An knew that they would naturally not come up with any good words.

After all, Da Song is now the enemy of the entire Western Land, and the country of Ross has also suffered from Da Song.

At the same time, he doesn’t care.

Because the exchanges between the two countries do not depend on public opinion, but on the strategic considerations of the top.

“Petersburg is a beautiful city, and I hope it will remain beautiful in the future.” Dong An said with a smile when the last group came outside the Petersburg Winter Palace.

Different from Dasong’s architectural mountain architectural style, Petersburg is full of minarets.

Of course, he knew that the other party invited him to visit Petersburg not to admire these buildings, but to focus on the smoky factories and steam locomotive stations in Petersburg.

If it was a few years ago, he would definitely lose his composure by being shocked by these things.

But now, facing these things that are a generation behind Da Song, he can only smile.

“Of course it will always be beautiful.” Chester said, trembling slightly in his heart.

He couldn’t tell whether Dong An’s words were a compliment or a threat.

Dong An smiled lightly, and then said: “When is Emperor Nicholas going to meet us, or are you directly in charge of this negotiation task?”

Dong An also looked at what should be seen, and Dong An went straight to the point.

“You can explain to me the purpose of your visit first, and I will report to the emperor. This is also the rule of diplomatic reciprocity.” Chester said seriously.

For the emperor to directly negotiate with the other party’s mission, it would appear that Ross’s diplomatic relations were inferior.

They don’t think that the country of Ross has become a weak country in front of Da Song.

Dong An had already expected this, from the very beginning he felt Luo Guo’s strange emotion towards Da Song.

A mentality of fear, hatred, but unwillingness to admit defeat.

He took the document from a Dasong diplomat beside him, and he handed it to Chester, “This is the purpose of our trip. I hope that this time, Dasong and the country of Ross can reach an agreement so that the two countries can simultaneously Profit.”
