Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1157 Washington in April
"The scene of this era seems so unbelievable to all of us now, just like a lunatic's dream, but what I want to show you is that these are not far-fetched fantasies, and the miracle of the 'Electricity Age' is inevitable. will appear before us."

"Next, what I'm going to show you is not magic, but a necessity for our future life." Truss said, waving to his students, and the students immediately pushed a card with wheels. There is a square wooden box on the table. On the side facing the audience is a large square display screen. There are many mechanical buttons on the side of the box.

Truss and the students quickly powered on the strange box. The box made a low beep, and soon there were flashing dots on the display screen. Truss and the students While carefully observing the display screen, while adjusting the buttons next to it, after a while, the beeping of the box stopped, and a girl was clearly shown on the dim display screen!
When seeing the image that appeared on the display screen, there was no sound in the hall, only the slight creaking sound from the machine from time to time.

The image on the display screen became more and more clear, and people could see clearly that it was a room. The girl was sitting on a chair, carefully taking care of several pigeons that looked like they were injured, and some healthy pigeons were naughty. stood on her shoulders.

Everyone's eyes widened and they stared at the screen closely. Those sitting in the back all raised their binoculars at the same time.

It may have received some signal, or it may be that the little girl sensed that someone was watching her, so she raised her head and showed an innocent and lovely smile to people.There was a burst of exclamation in the auditorium, and some people even jumped out of their seats in surprise!
And when a pigeon flew up from the table and landed on the little girl's head, the crowd erupted instantly.Because they all recognized that room as a certain dormitory in the school, and that girl was a student of this school.

Only Guan Xuqing kept smiling.

Truss said: "Here is a device that receives images, and the device that transmits images is in this room that you see."

"We call this device a 'surveillance camera'. It can fully display what is happening in another place in front of us. It is still in the experimental stage, so it is not yet possible to transmit images and sounds simultaneously, but We have reason to believe that in the near future, we will be able to do this and do so over longer transmission distances."

"For us, electricity is a clean and clean energy source, unlike coal and oil, which produce acrid smoke and waste water that pollutes rivers and land, and these will cause great damage to our health, so we We must realize this and replace it with better electricity before the hazards do not threaten each of us. Another thing we all need to pay attention to is that coal and oil are not endless, they must be consumed In the end of the day, I often hear people say that if all the coal in China is dug out, it will be enough for the world to use for hundreds of years. This is the actual situation, but what I want to say is hundreds of years later? When China has no coal What should we do now? I think everyone can understand the answer now. I am glad that China not only has a large amount of coal but also many rivers, and these rivers are the real precious energy. China has now started many hydropower stations The construction of these hydropower stations will bring abundant electricity to China, and this electricity may enable China to enter another great era of industrial civilization, the "Era of Electricity". I am also very willing to see the great era of electricity first The great country of China emerged."

Washington is sunny and warm in April.

After more than ten hours of turbulence, the plane on which the representative of the Chinese Plenipotentiary Conference and Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang finally landed safely at Washington Airport.After all, the war has just ended. It is not an easy task to travel from Beijing to Washington. The route of the plane is restricted by many factors. In addition to the natural factors such as weather and air flow that must be taken into account in the past, the country of transit must also be considered .

"Old Wu, are you okay?" After a period of violent turbulence, the plane landed steadily on the airport runway, and the second prince Pu De who accompanied him stood up from his seat and walked quickly to the old Wu Tingfang. asked with concern.

At this time, Wu Tingfang's face was extremely pale, and he could not even see a trace of blood. He had a serious heart disease. According to the regulations, he should not take an airplane, especially for such a long flight, but for this The meeting this time was very important, and he also shouldered the important task of leading the second prince out to practice, so he did not accept the doctor's advice, and stubbornly boarded the plane to Washington.

"I'm fine." Wu Tingfang squeezed out a smile, waved his hand slightly, and said in a low voice: "It seems that this person is always dissatisfied."

"Do you want to rest for a while, let's wait for a while before getting off the plane." Pu De suggested.

"No need." Through the window, Wu Tingfang glanced out, and saw the well-dressed US guard of honor on the outside of the airport runway quickly rearranging their formation. "Let's go down now. These Yankees are landlords after all. What kind of etiquette is it for us guests to keep people waiting for a long time?"

Pu De nodded helplessly.

Wu Tingfang supported the armrest of the seat with both hands, slowly stood up from the seat, shook her body slightly, and said, "Okay, let's go down."

"Come and let me help you." Pu De took a step forward and stretched out his arm to hold Wu Tingfang's arm, but he was gently pushed away by the other party.

"No need." Wu Tingfang took a step, walked around Pu De, and smiled at the same time. "I don't want to see in "Time Magazine" that I was supported by the dignified prince to get off the plane. The foreign minister of the Chinese Empire actually needs someone to walk with the help of others. If this reputation spreads, should I still be a man? Haha. "

Seeing Wu Tingfang walking towards the hatch, Pu De shook his head helplessly. This old man is really stubborn, and he is old and strong, and he is so strong.

Summoning two attendants casually, Pu De ordered in a low voice: "You follow the Minister, you must pay attention to his condition, and no accidents are allowed, understand?"

"Yes." The two followers responded in unison, and then quickly ran towards the hatch.

According to the regulations of diplomatic etiquette, when passengers step out of the hatch on a special plane for a visit, there is a sequence of identities. Just like this time, it should be Wu Tingfang who stepped out of the hatch first, followed by the relatives in charge of his safety work. Then, followed by Pu De and several other Chinese representatives attending the meeting.

The order of getting off the plane is very important, because the list of visits has been delivered to the US in advance, so the Americans will also make corresponding plans for the arrangement of reception personnel.As the plenipotentiary representative of the negotiations, Wu Tingfang shook hands with the new President Nixon who came to greet him after getting off the plane, and had a cordial conversation, with reporters taking pictures beside him.As for Pu De, his identity is only one of the accompanying representatives, so he will not be received by the president. The United States will arrange a person of equal status to receive him.

So in this case, it is impossible for Pu De to get off the plane next to Wu Tingfang, otherwise it is very likely to make a joke.

About half a minute after Wu Tingfang left the hatch, Pu De walked out quickly. Before he could see everything in front of him clearly, a familiar piece of music rang out. This was the national anthem of the empire played by the guard of honor.With the sound of the music, Pu De saw that there was already a sea of ​​flowers on the outside of the runway at the airport, and countless American children were waving roses in their hands, shouting something happily.In front of these children, there are countless reporters with long guns and short cannons, a large number of American policemen in uniforms with live ammunition, and of course many Chinese agents in black suits and sunglasses.

Looking back, Pu De saw Wu Tingfang not far from the plane, who was shaking hands and talking with two people, and the two smiling guys, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, looked different to Pu De. Kind of funny.

Stalin and Churchill have come, and Wu Tingfang has stood with them to form a brand-new "Big Three" combination. Then who will come to greet him?Pu De thought so in his heart, and inadvertently searched under the stairs of the plane.

As the footsteps moved, a middle-aged man wearing a dark-colored five-star general uniform of the U.S. military came into Pu De's sight. This general with a wide forehead was also standing a few steps away from the stairs, looking up The imperial prince looked at it.

Greeting myself with a five-star admiral seems to be a bit unfair, but in fact, it is tantamount to saying that my status and reputation are equal to this person's, or It is the Americans who express enough importance to themselves.Who is this guy?He is Marshall, one of the ten five-star generals in American history, a famous World War II general, and the current US Secretary of Defense.

According to Nixon's previous plan, when the United States was preparing to welcome the Chinese delegation, it had to find a welcome person who was perfectly matched with the other party.This matching includes many factors such as military rank, position, military merit, age and so on.However, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs got the list of personnel from China, Nixon was worried. He suddenly saw Pu De's name on the list of the Chinese delegation. Unless he was deaf and blind, he would not know Pu De's name. Because of his identity, the emperor's son was actually sent to this meeting, and his identity was just an ordinary negotiator. He even wondered if the emperor of China was deliberately making things difficult for others.
