A nineteenth-century diplomat of the British Empire spent most of his time in the company of humble compliments and flattering smiles.

This was exactly the case during the first two decades of his diplomatic career.

Whether it was working as a clerk or counsellor at the Danish Embassy, or earning the first pot of gold in his diplomatic career in Africa, Ali had a smooth journey along the way.

In 1848, because of the successful planning of the civil strife in the Emirate of Sudan, the 30-year-old Ali Kingdom ushered in the greatest opportunity of his life.

He was sent by Downing Street to the far east, a place of legendary wealth and ignorance, to become a consul in his own right.

During his tenure as consul of the British Empire in Shanghai, he forced the greedy and timid Manchu officials to revise the treaty and expand the British Concession to 2,820 acres.

But then, those stupid Chinese actually rioted.

A mob group called the Little Knife Society has taken over Shanghai County.

Ali Guo decisively raised funds to build more than 800 proposed houses along the pidgin, which were sold at high prices to the Chinese gentry who had taken refuge, and in just a few months, the price of these houses increased by more than 200 times.

Ali Guo and his friends made a lot of money.

At the same time, they formed a foreign gun team to help the Manchu government suppress the rebellious Chinese.

The success in Shanghai has made Ali Guo soar.

Finally, he was canonized by the queen and sent to Beijing, the capital of the Qing Empire, where he became the most powerful man in the Far East - the British Empire's ambassador to the Qing Dynasty.

That's right, many people, including Ali Guo himself, believe that the most powerful person in ancient eastern Asia was not the young Emperor Tongzhi, nor the Empress Dowager Cixi, who listened to the government, nor the King Hongtian, the King of Korea, or the Emperor of Japan, but the man who represented Queen Victoria in East Asia!

In the first two years of his ascension to ambassadorship, everything ran like this.

But soon, things changed.

【MingDynasty】，【DaiMingEmpire】，【TubieZhutheGreat】，【ImperialPeverenceandExpellingtheBarbarians】……

Phrases that should have been sealed in ancient documents of the Chinese and Portuguese reappeared in front of his case.

At first, Ali Guo felt that the Ming separatists were still far away from him.

Even if they attacked Japan and attacked the French, they did not dare to attack the Shimazu family, which was sheltered by the British Empire.

It's all just a strife within these yellow-skinned monkeys.

For the British Empire, the Ming separatists were just another tool that could be used to blackmail the Manchu government.

It wasn't until one day ten years ago that he realized he was wrong, and how outrageously wrong he was.

Ali Guo remembers very well that it was the autumn of October 1865, the 30th birthday of the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, Yehenara.

On that day, she also gathered envoys from all over the world to attend the meeting, and everything was as if it were today.

He was very interested in this woman who had taken over the power of the empire at a young age.

At her birthday party, Ali dressed up and prepared a gift, a wine from Yorkshire.

It's not worth much, but it's a wine from the British Empire, and its significance is priceless.

But soon, Ali Guo realized that his ideas seemed a little naïve.

The empire, full of poorly clothed, skinny hungry people, had extraordinarily rich nobles and officials.

The gifts they gave were more dazzling than one another.

Even, Ali Guo also saw the night pearl bigger than the cow, as well as ......

A priceless set of ancient Roman wine vessels!

But that's not even the most impressive.

Ali Guo clearly remembers that at that banquet, he saw Daming's airship for the first time.

The giant floating, like the legendary Leviathan monster, roams the clouds.

They look at the earth with their eyes on the earth and look down on all beings.

Although Ali Guo has never been to the sky, he can still imagine that in the eyes of those Ming Aviation Soldiers, he must be as small as an ant!

Eventually, under the Ming people's shameless doll offensive, the Manchu Empress Dowager's birthday party turned into a farce.

And the image of the airship is forever engraved in Aliguo's heart.

Later, because he organized an expedition to the Gobi Desert in search of possible ancient Roman treasures and destroyed all the troops, Ali suffered the greatest Waterloo of his life.

He was dismissed from his post and recalled to London.

But as the old Chinese saying goes, good and bad go hand in hand.

It is precisely because of this recall that Ali Guo escaped a catastrophe.

Because of the name of the guy who succeeded him as ambassador......

It's called Randolph Churchill.

Luckily avoided the fate of being Ling Chi, and the goddess of luck once again favored Ali Guo.

Just last year, the British Empire's ambassador to the Russian Empire lost his ability to work due to alcoholism, and Ale, with the support of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was able to travel to St. Petersburg to become the new British Empire's ambassador to the Russian Empire.

At this moment, Ali Guo stood on the high platform of Taksim Square and received the attention of everyone.

The huge RAF airship in the sky is his best scepter.

At this moment, he seems to be more dazzling than the Russian tsar on the side, more like today's protagonist.

"Mingren's airship can't work, the British Empire's airship can't!"

"Our British Empire is amazing!"

Not only officials from small countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden, but even those in Russia itself gave a thumbs up and sang the praises of the strength of the British Empire.

The only people in the audience who didn't shout compliments were the French who felt sorry for themselves.

But what does this change?

Oh, stupid Frenchmen!

Ali Guo was thinking about whether he should step forward to comfort these Parisian bureaucrats with an inexplicable sense of superiority, when suddenly more enthusiastic applause and cheers rang out in his ears.

"It's amazing, Mr. Ambassador, I didn't expect the newborn Royal Air Force of the British Empire to be so powerful, the British Empire is truly worthy of being the guardian of the civilized world!"

"yes, so many airships, and ...... What is that kind of flying machine called? In short, with such great air power, I think the Prussians will soon have to roll back into the Black Forest to hold the sow! ”

"Wait?"

Ali Guo was stunned, "So many airships? Is three a lot? ”

"Haha, Mr. Ambassador, please don't stop the Qinghua Palace, oh no, this is the damn Ming people's statement, I've seen too many barbarians, damn it, in short, please don't be humble anymore, your British Empire's airships are overwhelming, and your air wolves have made the Tsar's Cossack cavalry lose its shine!"

A duke from the Volyn region of Ukraine gushed praise to his powerful British friend, not noticing the change in the faces of the British friend in front of him and the Russian tsar behind him.
