Chapter 1782 Establishing World Order
In 1650 A.D., the first meeting to establish a world order was held in the capital of the East. Chu Yun planned to establish the first framework of world order—the Oriental Capital System.

The participants were princes and aristocrats from all major civilizations in the world. They thought that they came here just to participate in the World Expo, and they never thought that Chu Yun would have actions to establish world order.

You must know that until now, the main civilizations of each world have not really known each other, and the trade exchanges between all parties have just begun, which may be blocked by oceans and continents.How easy is it to establish order in this unsmooth world?

Nearly 100 ambassadors were assembled in a semi-circular building. They were invited here to attend the first international conference in history, and they were informed that this international conference was to discuss the establishment of a preliminary world order.

The ambassadors of these kingdoms have never heard of Chu Yun's display of strength and proposed the establishment of a world order on the occasion of the World Expo, and they dare not imagine it.While waiting for the arrival of the main character this time, they whispered under their respective seats, quite unsure about the matter.

"Could it be that they want to establish a world court to be the judge of the world?"

"Although the East is very powerful, and there are telegrams that can convey orders from the East to Europe, they have no right to interfere with our internal conflicts in Europe. If the East intends to become the world's hegemon, they have to intervene in everything, and it is estimated that soon There will be a second Continental Union or something else, and the East will be exhausted."

"It will take several months or even a year to mobilize the steam ironclad ships, and their soldiers also have to eat and drink. It is very difficult to control the whole world. It is the biplane that can fly into the sky that is worrying."

None of the ambassadors believed that an international system could be established when the technology was not yet advanced enough.

The Vienna system established after the Napoleonic Wars was only a European system of order, while the real world system was the Versailles system after World War I.

Is it really possible to create a world system now?

"Whether his ambition can be achieved or not, he has already achieved great success. All countries have recognized their strength, and even if they speak in Europe, people have to pay attention to it."

Prince Condé of France is leaning on the back of his chair. France looks down on other countries in Europe, but now it is not as effective as the distant Eastern Empire. Moreover, France does not even have many overseas colonies. How can it compete with India, Oceania, and the west coast of North America? , Siberia and other places in China compared.

"It's enviable..." The Duke of Brandenburg-Prussia said to several Junker nobles, "We Brandenburg and the Principality of Prussia need to make good relations with them as much as possible, and we will be the first batch of steamers to buy steam from them in the future." A European country with ironclad ships and artillery. Although we can't compare with them, we may be able to unify Germany..."

When the various countries were thinking about each other, Chu Yun, who was the protagonist of the first international conference, came with several officials, and everyone was in awe.

Chu Yun looked around at the crowd. Among them, Sophia of the Holy Alliance, the King of Denmark, and the King of Portugal had relaxed expressions. They generally knew the content of the established international system. They had already been revealed some information during the family dinner that Chu Yun invited them to.

As for the other ambassadors who are not on good terms, the ambassadors of the Kingdom are still at a loss. They really can't imagine what kind of world order Chu Yun intends to establish.

"I think everyone should know that the most important thing to use everyone to come to the Oriental Capital this time is to hold the World Expo. At the same time, we also hope to use this opportunity to promote trade and cultural exchanges between countries. Unfortunately, this world is full of differences. beliefs and disputes."

"Here I want to declare that I don't want to be an envoy of peace, nor do I want to mediate conflicts and disputes between countries. First, we don't have so much manpower and material resources to maintain world peace with the strength of one country. Second, you It has nothing to do with us to fight wars and internal uprisings, unless you harm our interests."

As soon as Chu Yun's words fell, many princes and nobles below discussed in low voices, as if they were surprised by Chu Yun's statement.

Originally, they thought that Huaxia was so arrogant that they wanted to be the military police of the world, and that any action in their kingdom would require their permission. They didn't expect the other party to go straight to the point and confess that they didn't want to pay attention to some bad things in Europe and West Asia.

The reaction below was within Chu Yun's expectations.

If it is a normal world order, there should be international law that defines the territory, territorial sea, and sovereignty of various countries, and condemns countries that violate international law.

But Chu Yun doesn't want to make his own international laws to limit himself.

If the international law is enacted now to determine the territory and territorial waters of various countries, China, as an advocate of international law, needs to take the lead in complying with and punishing countries that do not abide by international law.

In fact, the territories and territorial waters of various countries have not been finalized, and the New World has not been divided up. There are still many places in China that do not have time to digest. In the future, it is very likely that you will be the first to violate international law, and you will also find a legal principle for small countries not to be violated. .

Therefore, Chu Yun does not intend to define the territory and territorial sea, but only to determine some other aspects of the world order.

"Then what is the content of this meeting? You told us before that you can provide us with some technology, so what is the price?" the Polish nobleman asked.

They had heard from Chu Yun that as long as they paid enough, they could buy their technology.

"Please don't worry, this meeting is to build a world that facilitates communication and trade, so order is needed."

"World order will involve tariff agreements, navigation regulations, a common language, a common currency, and the establishment of a global telegraph network to reduce current trade costs." Chu Yun said his ambitious plan.

There are some things that go beyond changes in territory and territorial waters, and that is international practice.Even if the dynasties of the European countries change, the new kingdoms will follow the conventions.Perhaps unequal treaties will be torn up one day due to various reasons, but once international practice becomes the rule that all countries must follow, the impact will be longer-term.

"Agreement of tariffs, regulations of navigation, common language, common currency, telegraph network?"

The ambassadors looked at each other in blank dismay, as if these things were indeed international.In the past, Portuguese and Spanish were the most used overseas by countries. These two countries on the Iberian Peninsula were the earliest colonial empires, and the most used currency was probably cast by Spain from a large amount of silver obtained from South American silver mines. Spanish silver dollar.

"I propose to use Chinese as the common language in the future, and at the same time use the dragon pattern silver dollar as the common currency to facilitate future technical exchanges. This is also the premise that we are willing to produce a batch of technologies from time to time." Chu Yun said.
