643 I don't know where hell is, but I know where Moscow is
Tsarist Russia did not establish formal diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, so Semyon? When Vorontsov came to Los Angeles, he was not greeted with a grand welcome, only a second secretary of the Tang Ministry of Foreign Affairs received them. Of course www.biquge.info Vorontsov has nothing to complain about, after all, this is the land of the Tang people, and they have a request for the Tang Dynasty.
Milovic, the young deputy, looked at the streets of Los Angeles with excitement and said, "It's like coming to another world." ”
Vorontsov also admitted: "If you don't come to Los Angeles in person, you won't know the wealth of the Tang people." ”
There are wide streets, towering buildings, and bustling crowds. At this time, the roads in Europe were still very narrow, but in Los Angeles there are already amazing roads like ten lanes. Los Angeles, which has a very large number of cars, can see non-stop traffic on the road. Shops along the street open from one end to the other, and there are a variety of shops and services. Russians cannot believe that there is such a place in the world without seeing it with their own eyes.
Russia also has wealthy aristocrats, their bureau estates are luxurious and luxurious, but Vorontsov can clearly perceive that the Tang people in front of him are the most ordinary Tang people, not nobles, nor big officials, but their living conditions are so superior that people are jealous.
They got into a car, and Milovich was very interested in it, saying: "I have long wanted to buy a car like this, which does not need a horse, but it is said to burn some kind of gasoline, which is difficult to get in Moscow." I've heard that in Paris and London, only the rich can drive such a car. But there are so many cars on the streets of Los Angeles. Could it be that civilians can also have such good things? ”
The reception staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied nonchalantly: "In our country there is no distinction between commoners and nobles. Everyone has the right to enjoy the economic fruits of the country. For ordinary Datang salarymen, although a car is a bit expensive, it is still affordable to save a salary for a period of time, and there are no tariffs on cars sold in China, which are very cheap, and people's travel will become very convenient with a car. ”
Still unable to understand this logic, Milovic said: "One can only go to one's own farm or workshop. Where else do you need to go? Why is it necessary to travel so conveniently. ”
The diplomats of the Tang Dynasty were full of contempt for Milovich, but they would not show it on the surface, which was their self-cultivation as diplomats, and he still replied patiently: "They can drive to buy groceries and various household items, and on weekends, they can drive to the surrounding public offices or scenic spots, and everyone has the right to enjoy their own lives." ”
Vorontsov noticed that the Tang people were particularly fond of using the word "right", and before arriving in Datang, he had done a lot of homework, and in his opinion Datang was a magical country. The citizens here have the right to be on an equal footing with the officials. They don't need to kneel down and kiss the tip of an official's shoe, or even bow to an official; The people here have the right to express their opinions freely. As long as they don't have a bad influence on others, they can ridicule and question the government, or express something else; Citizens here have the right to choose their jobs freely, and if they feel uncomfortable with a job, they can change jobs.
In Vorontsov's view, the Tang Dynasty is not without aristocrats, but all people are aristocrats. Because the aristocracy was wealthy, had social status, and had access to education. These are all things that the people of Datang can enjoy. The government of the Tang Dynasty was more like a commoner, they had to provide complete services to all the people, and work diligently to create welfare for all the "old men", just as the serfs in Russia did for the noble landlords.
This peculiar phenomenon has been incomprehensible to Vorontsov for a long time, but he can also see that everyone is a noble Tang Dynasty, and her national strength is extremely strong, and her existence suffocates all other countries in the world.
He had a lot of questions to ask the Tang diplomat next to him, but he was worried that the Tang diplomat would not answer him. Because it seems that all these incomprehensible things are the secret of Datang's success, and the Tang people will not be willing to solve his doubts easily.
The young deputy, Milovich, had no such worries as Vorontsov, he was more of a competent tourist, admiring all sorts of never-before-seen sights, or thinking about how to bring these novelty and pleasures back to Moscow, such as this car, in which case he would become unusually attractive among the aristocracy.
After arriving at the hotel, Datang diplomats assisted them to check in. Since the two countries have no diplomatic relations and are not invited to visit, all the expenses have to be paid by the Russian mission itself, which is not a small amount, but Vorontsov's mission is not short of money. They stayed at the five-star Furama Hotel in Datang, not the state guesthouse in Datang, and in short, they were not state guests.
Just as they got out of the car, there was a roar in the sky, and the Russians did not know what it was, and became terrified, and then they saw a huge flying object slicing over their heads.
Milovich exclaimed, pale: "My God, what is that?" ”
Vorontsov was also trembling with fear, but he saw that the Tang people around him did not react at all, obviously they were used to it, it was not something to be afraid of.
Sure enough, the diplomat of Datang said: "Don't be afraid, it's an airplane, you can simply understand it as a machine that can fly with people, and it is also a means of transportation." ”
Milovic's face changed a little better when he heard this, but he still exclaimed: "Is Datang so powerful?" It's not enough to conquer the land and the sea, but can you even conquer the sky? ”
The diplomat's expression was more reserved, but his eyes were bright, as if with pride, and he said: "Yes, if we knew that hell is there, I am afraid that even there will be conquered." ”
The Russians could feel the seriousness of this man's words, and for a moment they all had an endless fear of the country of Datang.
Milovich pulled Vorontsov's sleeve and whispered: "Sir, the Dons are all madmen, and they are terrible madmen, and we must make sure that great Russia does not become enemies with them, because in that case, maybe the Dons will not find the entrance to hell and will not be able to conquer Satan, but they will know where Moscow is." ”
