[Chapter 1139 Establishing Diplomatic Relations]

Ibsen Hotel, the residence of the Dasong Mission.

The news that Chester returned to Petersburg and went to the Winter Palace to meet Nicholas also reached here.

In the past six months, Dong An has not been idle, but actively cooperated with the members of the Overwatch Council in the mission to build his own intelligence network in Petersburg.

They were able to get the news of Chester’s return in time because of this.

If Da Song can formally establish diplomatic relations with Ross State, people from the Overwatch Council will be stationed in the embassy as diplomats in the future.

“I don’t know what choice the Ross people will make?” Everyone gathered in the hotel room.

At this time, an official from the Department of Foreign Affairs looked at Dong An.

“We will know soon. If they drive us away or detain us, war will break out. If Nicholas decides to meet us, then the country of Ross will become our ally in the West.” Dong An said Relaxed, and don’t worry about your situation once.

Dong An’s composure made everyone feel better.

After all, they have been here for half a year, and they are all eager to achieve results.

However, they didn’t have to wait too long.

Only three days later, Chester, in a black suit, led Ross’ foreign diplomats to their hotel.

This time, Chester’s attitude was completely different from when he first met them. Not only was his attitude gentle, but he was also very polite.

“Minister Dong An, His Majesty Nicholas invites you to go to the Winter Palace to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations between the country of Ross and Da Song.” Chester said, “Although there have been some unhappiness between our two countries, now we seem to share common interests ”

Hearing this, Dong An and the officials of the mission were deeply relieved.

Their diplomatic mission could finally be fulfilled.

Dong An was also quite happy in his heart, but he still looked as usual, and said with a polite smile, “It’s true, between countries, only real interests are emphasized, and children only distinguish black and white.

” It’s a mature diplomatic cognition.” Chester smiled.

Immediately, the two chatted and went to the Winter Palace like friends for many years.

Guided by the guards, the mission entered the Winter Palace and arrived at a magnificent hall.

This hall is a special place for Ross to receive foreign envoys.

Not long after, Nicholas in full costume came out surrounded by servants.

Chester introduced each other, Dong An and Nicholas looked at each other, and then simply greeted each other, and then everyone was led to a conference hall.

Here, the mission led by Dong An sat opposite to the Rus state officials headed by Nicholas, and formally discussed the content of the contract.

This is also the ultimate goal of both parties.

The whole discussion lasted for an hour.

Dong An and Nicholas determined the basic framework of the treaty.

Among them, Nicholas agreed to cede all the snow fields east of the Ural Mountains to Dasong.

There are two conditions for Da Song’s exchange.

One is that a non-aggression treaty must be signed to ensure that Russia will not be invaded.

One is to export a complete set of steam industry technology to the country of Ross.

During his stay in Yancheng, Chester was certainly shocked by the power industry.

But at the same time, he also learned that the steam industry technology in the entire western land was at least 40 or 50 years behind Dasong.

For example, the second generation of Dasong’s steam locomotive has appeared.

This second-generation steam locomotive uses a high-pressure steam engine with stronger power and faster locomotive speed.

There is also the triple-expansion steam engine used by Dasong’s steamship, which is currently impossible for their Western soil technology.

In addition, there are industries such as iron and steel smelting technology.

It can be said that their entire industrial system is backward.

As for the power industry, Chester and Nicholas are of course very greedy.

But as soon as they proposed, they were immediately rejected by Dong An.

Because this is Da Song’s current core secret.

Moreover, Dasong and Ross have just established contacts, and the level of trust between the two countries is not enough for Dasong to export such high-end technology.

Even, Da Song would rather choose war than export electric technology.

In this regard, Nicholas had to choose to give up.

But even so, he thought he had earned it.

Once they obtain Dasong’s full set of steam industry technology, the national strength of the country of Ross will rise in a straight line, surpassing Britain and becoming the crown of the Western Lands.

After the framework was decided, it took another two days for the two parties to finalize all the details.

For example, the time when the Russian army withdrew from the Far East, when the Dasong army settled in, when to send Dasong technicians to the Ross country for guidance, and the time limit for realizing the technology transfer of the steam industry.

It was not until the third day that the two parties formally signed the treaty.

On the same day, Dong An led Dasong officials to settle in the consulate provided by Ross State, and the two sides established diplomatic exchanges.

When the news of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Ross State and Da Song came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the consuls of other Western Turkic countries stationed in Ross State.

Consuls from many Western countries went to ask Nicholas for an explanation.

But all I got was an official reply: As an independent country, Ross has its own foreign policy.

This reply obviously made the consuls of various countries very dissatisfied.

They have sent personnel back to their respective countries to discuss the sudden changes.
