President Hung of the Taiping Society did not choose to meet Count George Mars alone in the courtyard where he lived.

Because, that's where Hong Tiangui met his true friends.

Earl George Mars was just a prisoner of war after all, and he was not worthy of the real effort of the Taiping Society's higher-ups.

Therefore, Hong Tiangui chose to go to the president's office on the top floor of the Taiping Central Building to meet this hereditary nobleman from the old continent of Obarro, the Kingdom of St. George's Britain.

After lunch, the earl, who had taken a brief rest, passed by the entrance of the top floor of the Taiping Hub Building, after being carefully inspected by two solemn guards.

He took off the black noble top hat on his head, tidied up the aristocratic dress he was wearing, and then under the guidance of Hong Jiayi, the captain of Hong Tiangui's personal guard, he walked into the actual center of the Taiping Society.

As soon as he entered the door of the president's office, Count Mars was very surprised.

As an upper-class nobleman of the Earl rank, the Earl had repeatedly entered the office of King St. Joe VII when he was in St. George's Britain, and when he first entered the King's office, he was shocked by the luxurious and exquisite decoration inside.

But the office of the president of the Taiping Society did not have the noble luxury of the office of the leader of the great power as he imagined.

On the contrary, it is unusually simple!

In addition to the bookshelf that occupied most of the inner wall, and the rows of books on it, which brought a touch of bookish elegance to this office, only the large mahogany table in front of the earl was a copper behemoth airship that had been reduced to equal proportions, which was a strange and delicate model decoration.

In front of the large mahogany table, there are only a few rattan chairs for guests and a calf-high coffee table, on which is a pot of medium-height yellow-red star flowers.

The above is all the scenery in Hong Tiangui's office, which is so low-key and simple.

Seeing the arrival of the guests, Hong Tiangui, who was standing in front of the bookshelf, put down the "Yinzhou Yindi Distribution Report" in his hand, walked to the guest chair and sat down with a calm face, and stretched out his hand to signal the earl to sit opposite him.

What has to be said here is that the mature and majestic mustache on President Hong's face completely concealed the youthful aura brought by his age, so that the earl, who was almost fifty years old and far older than him, did not realize that the leader of the Taiping Society in front of him was just a young man about the same age as his nephew.

The earl did not dare to slack off, he first respectfully to Hong Tiangui, and after making a face-to-face salute to meet the noble saint George who was equivalent to the foreign monarch, he sat in front of Hong Tiangui with some restraint.

Before this, the Earl had never imagined that he, a defeated man, would be able to sit so peacefully with the leader of a powerful enemy, which made the current Earl see more of an unnatural feeling in an unexpected environment.

As the leader of the Taiping Society, Hong Tiangui did not stand as high as Count Mars imagined, but spoke first.

"Mr. George Mars, welcome to Taiping City."

"Your Excellency, I am also honored to be here in this beautiful city and to be received by you."

······

At the beginning of the meeting, after a simple politeness, the atmosphere gradually livened up.

The 19th century, when the stars were in the Western Era, was a great era when powerful countries and power groups did whatever they wanted.

In the eyes of the earl, who has seen the powerful power of the war creation of the "giant beast airship", since Hong Tiangui's Taiping Society destroyed the colony of Naga with overwhelming combat power, then it naturally has the ownership of Naga.

After all, the victor has everything, and it is one of the important values that are widely recognized in the countries of the Old World of Obaro in this era.

Therefore, just like Count Marcus in his previous meeting with Comrade Huang Han of the Taiping Society, he did not mention even the slightest remark about the Taiping Society's aggression against Naga in front of Hong Tiangui, but cautiously tested whether the Taiping Society might sell weapons in the midst of the conversation.

The colonies of this era, in the eyes of the high-ranking nobles of the kingdom, were far less important than Hong Tiangui and other high-level officials of the Taiping Society imagined.

If only a piece of land used to exile the disgraced nobles could be obtained as a powerful weapon that would give St. George Britain an advantage in the war with the Bansey Sultanate in the Atlantic.

Then maybe when Count Marcus returns to his home country, not only will he not have it, but he will have merit!

Count Marcus's careful thinking naturally could not escape Hong Tiangui's perception.

These days, the trade in weapons, especially the trade in powerful equipment of the level of the Behemoth Airship, has been discussed in the high-level meetings of the Military Council of the Taiping Society, and the results have been reached.

First of all, although the military use of the Behemoth Airship is very considerable at present, in the long run, it is far less than the various types of aircraft that the Taiping military is researching, although it is a few steps beyond the current era, but it is not the highest level of Taiping secrets.

Second, as long as the airbags of the foreign trade type airship are filled with "hydrogen" gas, which is easy to burn and explode, instead of the non-flammable "helium" used by the Taiping Society, the threat of such large military equipment to oneself can be reduced to an acceptable level.

Therefore, in the end, the result of the discussion at the top of the military committee of the Taiping Society was that it could be taken out for sale.

Moreover, there is no more powerful weapon than a real weapon to prove the strong military strength of the Taiping Society, which will undoubtedly allow the Taiping Society, which is about to integrate into the world's "social circle" after obtaining the colony of Nagara, to deter many small people and get a good start.

So, at the end of the talks, Hong Tiangui directly told Count Marcus that the arms trade he mentioned could be approved.

Then, in the ecstatic countenance of Count Marcus, the meeting ended······

——————————————

Hong Tiangui's decision to meet with Count Marcus was, of course, not just for the sake of arms and trade.

It's just that in that case, there is no need for him to personally go out and send a commissioner from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If you have this time, it is better to go to the hospital to visit Miss Lin Miaoshan, who is still recuperating, and cultivate the relationship between men and women in advance, wouldn't it be more fragrant?

It's a pity that Hong Tiangui, our chief helmsman with all kinds of great sentiments, has never forgotten his original intention of coming to this world.

On the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, in the vast land of Shenzhou, there are hundreds of millions of descendants of Yan and Huang who are almost the same cultural inheritance as Hong Tiangui, and they are still humiliatingly surrendered to the feet of the braided emperor!

The main purpose of this meeting with the hereditary earl of St. George was to learn from the mouth of George Mars, a superior nobleman of a European power, some high-level trends of various forces in the Old World, so as to provide some favorable reference information for the next development plan of the Taiping Society.

After experiencing the battle of the Illusory Manor, it can be said that Hong Tiangui, who had obtained the greatest benefits by mistake, had completely stepped out of the "Qi Cultivation and Foundation Realm" in terms of his personal extraordinary strength, and entered the next stage of the Eastern Cultivation Side, "Concentrating on the Pulse Realm".

The previously powerful pure spiritual consciousness has begun to gradually transform into the unique "divine consciousness" of Eastern cultivators, which allows him to easily perceive any false information in George Mars's words through various means.

It is different from the decaying Daqing Dynasty, which experienced the Taiping Rebellion and broke the false mask of the Celestial Empire after the invasion of the Nineteen Kingdoms.

The many human kingdoms on the old continent of Obarro on this star are currently at the most turbulent time node in this century······
