From the military parade with rolling iron flow to the parade of millions of citizens singing and dancing, the jubilant scene of the Tang Empire made the heads of state and guests watching the ceremony on the Danfeng Gate Pavilion change color together, and their expressions revealed that they were greatly shocked.

A huge empire, a strong empire or a united and powerful empire, hundreds of millions of people together, what an invincible and huge force will it be?

"God forbid, it's good that they're across the vast Atlantic, otherwise another world's top power would have appeared on the crowded European continent, and it would have been a complete disaster."

Standing on the viewing platform

William's face turned slightly pale, and he didn't seem to have recovered from the shock of the 10,000-strong gong and drum team, and said in a low voice.

Lord Herbert, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs standing beside him, looked left and right, and saw that there were officials of the delegation of the German Empire all around, and that the whispered conversation between the two would not be overheard, so he let go of his courage and whispered a word;

"Your Highness, I have the most intuitive feeling of the strength of this North American empire, they are rich, prosperous and united, and no one can ignore such a world-class force."

"Uh-huh...... In this regard, the British saw earlier and understood more clearly than we did, so they drew a strategic red line, and I think it was very sensible to do so. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, crowded Europe cannot accommodate more powers, and it seems better to keep this upstart in North America."

"Mr. Herbert, I like the word 'nouveau riche' you say, it sounds a lot happier. I have to admit that the sheer size of their territory is maddened with jealousy. Perhaps this is the big spectacle that a world empire should have, a celebration that has dozens of heads of state flocking to it. ”

"Your Highness, I think there is a lot of coercion in this."

"But they're here after all, aren't they...... Herbert. All the leaders of the North American countries participated, and together they forged this unprecedented grand ceremony, and these are enough. William said jealously.

He turned his head to look at the viewing platform, and the heads of state from Fuso, Siam, Ryukyu, Lanfang, Amami, Korea, and the Americas, together with representatives of European royal families led by Prince William, a total of 43 countries participated in this huge 40th anniversary celebration, which cannot be summed up simply by the word "coercion".

This reflects the international influence of the Tang Empire in the pan-Pacific and Atlantic regions, which has reached the world's top level and is a real world's top power.

You're welcome

If His Majesty Kaiser Wilhelm I of the German Empire could not survive this current hurdle and was summoned by the Lord to the kingdom of heaven, the enthronement ceremony of his father, Prince Karl, would not have been attended by so many representatives of the country, and most of them were heads of government.

What makes people especially jealous is;

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Tang Empire lost no time in launching the "Trans-Pacific Cooperation Organization", and unceremoniously appointed itself as the leader of the alliance, setting the headquarters of the "Pan-Pacific Cooperation Organization" in Chang'an, the imperial capital, and planning to hold a government meeting every five years.

The corresponding cooperation charter all refers to the "American Alliance", and as soon as the organization is set up, the vassal states headed by Fuso basically have no room for beaks.

However, the establishment of this organization made the Kingdom of Thailand and the Kingdom of Korea, which were not qualified to join for the time being, extremely excited.

This is because the Pan Pacific Cooperation Organization has a "common defense" charter;

That is, in the event of an invasion by an external power, the participating countries must do their best to provide comprehensive military, economic, and diplomatic support and practice the concept of common defense.

This is tantamount to a strong talisman for weak and small countries in the region!

But be careful

This is only a mutual defense clause, which is limited to the invasion of foreign powers into its territory.

If these countries invade other countries, they are not included and are elaborated in the by-laws of the treaty.

The British didn't care, and the Tang Empire took advantage of the grand ceremony to form another international organization, and it was too late to even react.

The Tang Empire did not pull European countries to participate in these small circles, so there was little resistance.

Initially, only President Grover Cleveland of the U.S. government openly objected, believing that this international cooperation organization was concocting the Tang Empire's sphere of influence.

The result is;

The Tang Empire kicked the United States out of the "Pan-Pacific Cooperation Organization", and it cannot enjoy the corresponding rights to be protected, and naturally does not have to bear the corresponding obligations.

At the military parade, the delegation of the United States government was arranged to go to the most remote corner of the Danfengmen viewing platform, which was naked suppression and humiliation.

The government of the Tang Empire is so domineering, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.

As for Canada, which has always expressed its opposition, it is now not even a member of the United States Alliance, because its official state status has not been recognized by the Tang Empire.

The Tang Empire does not like Canada, which is against itself everywhere, and absorbs it into the "American Alliance", on the surface, the member states have grown, but in fact, internal disputes have also increased, and the intensity of decision-making and implementation of the policies of the United States Alliance has been visibly reduced.

Such a-stirring stick, who wants him?

Over the years

The international prestige of the Tang Empire is rising day by day, and as for the status of the leader of the Americas, it is not unrelated, in the vast land of the Americas, nothing can be done without the nod of the Tang Empire.

For example, when France increased its troops to the United States, it had to communicate privately with the Tang Empire in advance, so it sent troops to successfully land in Baltimore and complete the redeployment of the expeditionary force.

Although it was strongly opposed by the United States and questioned by the United Kingdom, all this was useless.

In all American affairs, the Tang Empire does not need to consult anyone, which is a clear example of the strength and status of its current American alliance.

At the grand ceremony

The British were represented by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Edward, and their viewing position was close to His Royal Highness Don-Li Gan, the crown prince of the Tang Empire, and closer to the core position than the crown prince William.

Such an arrangement shows the transcendence of Britain's status.

This time the British Empire sent a diplomatic mission of the highest rank, led by His Royal Highness Edward, which had several profound implications.

The first is to highlight the special traditional alliance status between the two countries, and take the initiative to show goodwill to the dictatorial monarch of the Tang Empire, and the arrival of His Royal Highness Edward is undoubtedly the most solemn way.

Second, according to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, next year will be the 50th anniversary of Empress Victoria's accession to the throne, which has left a strong mark in the history of the British Empire, and the Tang Empire will definitely send a high-level delegation of the same specifications.

It must be led by His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Crown Prince Tang-Li Gan, and the status of any other prince and prince is not equal, which is also a major issue of great concern to the British side.

The United Kingdom began preparations for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty's accession to the throne a few years ago, and the importance was only higher than that of the Tang Empire, and the colonies presented valuable gifts.

It was during this period that the Egyptian Governor's Palace shipped a large number of precious ancient Egyptian artifacts to London to celebrate the enthronement of Her Majesty the Queen.

The third is to take this opportunity to let His Royal Highness Edward travel to North America and accumulate rare first-hand experience, which is obviously frustrated.

Since arriving in the Tang Empire, His Royal Highness Edward has been indulging in the glittering aristocratic night banquets all day long, indulging in countless beautiful women, how can he put any thought on other aspects?

It was close to noon

His Royal Highness Edward, who was sitting on the viewing platform, was already drowsy, his eyelids were fighting from time to time, he was too sleepy.

I played until two or three o'clock last night, and I got up so early in the morning, where did His Royal Highness Edward, who is already 45 years old, get so much energy?
