A carriage stopped at the gate of the German Embassy in Yanjing, and two Chinese in formal clothes came out of the carriage, the middle-aged was Cao Xuwen, the first foreign minister of the Han Kingdom, and the young man was Wang Quan, Cao Xuwen's German translator.

Wang Quan came to the doorman of the German embassy and said to the doorman in German: "We are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han Kingdom, and we are here to visit Ambassador Henry. ”

Just as the doorman turned to enter the embassy, Ambassador Henry came out.

"Hello!" Ambassador Henry walked straight up to Cai Xuwen and said in German-flavored Chinese, and stretched out his right hand to Cao Xuwen.

"Hello! Mr. Henry. Cao Xuwen also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Henry and said.

(By the way, there is no such thing as a 'meeting and shaking hands' in traditional Chinese etiquette, and the etiquette of 'meeting and shaking hands' has been passed down from the West in modern times.)

Then they went to the German Embassy.

"Mr. Henry, on behalf of His Majesty the King of Han of the Great Han Kingdom, I formally invite you to the Han Palace as a guest." Cao Xuwen said to Henry first.

After hearing Cao Xuwen's words, Henry's translator immediately translated Cao Xuwen's words to Henry.

"Really? That's great! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Henry said excitedly after hearing the translator's words, almost wanted to stretch out his hands to give Cao Xuwen a hug, and the next moment Henry thought that Chinese don't like Western hugging etiquette, so he put this idea aside.

Cao Xuwen: "Then when can Mr. Henry leave?" ”

Henry: "Anytime, but do I need anything?" ”

Henry knew that the master of the Han Kingdom lived in the inland area, far away from Yanjing City, and the two places were not connected by railway, if they could only take a carriage from Yanjing City to Yuanhe City, it would take more than a month to reach the big destination, Henry was ready to take a long journey to Yuanhe City by carriage.

Cao Xuwen: "You only need to bring a few clothes." ”

Henry: "Please wait a moment, we will be able to leave immediately, I can't wait to meet His Majesty the King of Han." ”

Half an hour later, the carriage outside the German Embassy set off again, but this time there were two more people on board: Ambassador Henry and his interpreter.

The carriage drove straight to the outside of Yanjing City, and the destination was the airship field on the outskirts of Yanjing, almost every important city in the Han Kingdom had an airship field, and the airship field did not need any special conditions, as long as the ground was flat and a lighthouse was built.

This is the first time that Henry has left the embassy district such a long distance after the Han army occupied Yanjing City, and some time ago Yanjing City set off a violent anti-ocean storm, and all foreigners walking on the streets of Yanjing City may be beaten by the Chinese, especially the British and French.

According to Henry's knowledge, the English missionaries and the French missionaries did many intolerable things in China, and the ruler of this country ordered the expulsion of all foreign missionaries, and finally set off an anti-foreign storm, and Henry, who was a German, looked similar to the British French, so Henry did not dare to go out on the streets at will.

When the carriage was driving in Yanjing City, Henry and Cao Xuwen had in-depth communication, and the main content was that the two countries were friendly and we had a common enemy.

Of course, when Henry saw the carriage driving out of Yanjing City, Henry said to Cao Xuwen in surprise: "Let's leave Yanjing City for Yuanhe City like this?" ”

Cao Xuwen replied: "No, of course we can't go to Yuanhe City like this, I will give Mr. Henry a huge surprise later, this is a symbol of the strength of our Han Kingdom!" ”

"Really? I must see the powerful 'symbol' of the Han Kingdom! Wang Quan heard from Henry's words that Henry obviously didn't believe that anything could represent the strength of the Han Kingdom, for Henry, the Han Kingdom was still a backward country, even if the Han Kingdom had some powerful firearms.

In this regard, Cao Xuwen could only shake his head helplessly, seeing is believing and hearing is false, just let Henry see it with his own eyes.

Fifteen minutes later, the carriage headed for the airship field on the outskirts of Yanjing City.

"Oh my God, what's that?" Henry saw the Kunpeng-6 light airship parked on the airship field at a glance, Henry had seen the airship in Europe, this is the European airship is very small, and now Henry saw the huge body of the Kunpeng-6 light airship for the first time, and it was not associated with the word "airship".

Cao Xuwen looked at Henry with a smile on his face, and did not explain for Henry.

Soon the carriage came to the airship field and stopped a few dozen meters away from the airship.

Cao Xuwen: "Mr. Henry, please, we are going to take this airship." ”

"Airship! That's an airship! How could there be such a big airship! Henry got the word airship from the translator's mouth, and was completely stunned, Henry couldn't imagine how there could be such a big airship, and now that it was so close to the airship, Henry really felt the enormity of the airship.

After Henry calmed down, he walked towards the airship with Cao Xuwen, and said as he walked Henry, "Are we really going to take this airship to Yuanhe City?" ”

Cao Xuwen: "Yes, I came to Yanjing City by this airship in Yuanhe City, and the distance between the two places is 1,800 kilometers in a straight line, and it only took more than 20 hours in total. ”

"Oh my God, it's so fast, the train doesn't have this speed." Henry's hands made exaggerated movements in surprise.

After Henry learned that Cao Xuwen came to Yanjing City from Yuanhe City by airship, his sense of resistance to such a new thing as an airship was greatly reduced.

"Please!" Cao Xuwen made a "please" gesture to Henry.

Henry stepped into the airship pod first.

This Kunpeng-6 light airship is not a transport airship, but has been specially modified to pick up important people, and the interior of the airship is richly decorated, as well as toilets, galleys and other cabins.

Under the leadership of the airship crew (male), the four people came to the seats to do a good job and fasten the seat belt, the airship will be a little unstable when taking off and landing, if it flies at a constant speed in the air, the person can walk around in the pod at will, as if walking on flat ground.

"The airship is about to take off, please fasten your seatbelts!" Horns sounded all around.

It didn't take long for the airship to slowly rise from the ground.

"Wow, it's really flying." Henry was surprised to see himself flying through the glass window beside him.

After the airship was flying smoothly in the air for a while, Henry calmed down and said to Cao Xuwen: "This is indeed a symbol of the strength of the Han Kingdom, and no country in Europe can build such an airship!" ”
