Now, all the officials in the imperial court were very conceited. They thought that everything in the world was given by the imperial court. When the imperial court wanted it, they had to give it to them immediately.
Especially Gan Long, who shouted at English,""Our eastern country is rich in resources and has everything. We don't want to borrow foreign goods to exchange for goods. Because the tea leaves, porcelain, and silk produced by the eastern country are necessities for the western countries and your country, we have been kind enough to open a foreign firm in Macau so that we can have daily expenses and benefit from it.”
A good trade had turned into charity. No one would have a good temper.
Manguan had always been very conceited, so Deng Tingzhen had never thought that Shen Feng would not give it to him.
In his opinion, as long as they were citizens of the Qing Dynasty, they had to hand them over. Even the island was a country.
Soon, they reached the island. Ten people came up.
Seeing that they were not a threat, all the light prism towers were on standby, and the scorching light beams disappeared.
Only Gate's cannon was aiming at them.
After Deng Tingzhen set foot on the island, he felt that it was terrifying and magical.
The huge pier was paved with concrete roads. The roads were hard and smooth, and it was much more comfortable to walk on than the mud roads.
"On this kind of road, will my feet slip on a rainy day? Soiled cloth shoes?" These Qing officials were so short-sighted that they actually asked such a funny question.
Deng Tingzhen pondered for a moment and did not answer. The concrete pavement here was filled with military bases, which was very imposing and spectacular.
Even the training grounds in the entire empire were not of such a scale.
Skyscrapers rose from the ground, almost touching the clouds.
Deng Tingzhen was stunned. He looked up at the tall building, and his neck almost broke when he saw the top floor.
"What…what kind of house is this?" His eyes were dull.
"Is the outer layer glass? It can actually be used like this!" Han Zhaoqing was also stunned.
This place was filled with high-tech items. The light prism towers looked nothing from afar, but they were very spectacular when they got close.
At a height of 100 meters, the diameter of the cylinder below was close to 50 meters.
Moreover, it was a spectacular sight to circle the island!
They had never seen such a majestic building before!
For a moment, the Qing officials were stunned and forgot to advance into the barracks.
Soon, a troop of 50 men ran over and surrounded them. They raised their guns and aimed at them.
These people had cold and solemn expressions, and their eyes were empty. They seemed to have no soul, just like zombies.
"You, what do you want?"
"This is the Great Cold Land. Do you want to rebel?”
"Don't kill us, we're here to negotiate.”
Some of the timid officials were so scared that their faces turned pale. They trembled and held their heads, afraid that they would be beaten to death.
"What about Lord Deng?" Han Zhaoqing was terrified as he looked at the soldiers around him.
This place was filled with strangeness, extremely ominous, and quite frightening.
Deng Tingzhen's palms were also covered in cold sweat. He had been frightened by these strange zombie soldiers.
However, in order not to lose face, he could only pretend to be calm.
"What are you panicking about? Watch me." Deng Tingzhen coughed. His expression suddenly turned cold as he berated,"I am the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. I was ordered to come to the island to discuss matters with you. Do you want to rebel?”
Deng Tingzhen appeared fierce on the outside but was weak on the inside. If it wasn't for his face, he would have run away long ago.
He could lose anything in the empire, but he could not lose face.
He had to show the demeanor of a big country at all times!
Deng Tingzhen gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold on. His legs were trembling in fear.
The leading soldier ignored Deng Tingzhen and continued to point his gun at them coldly.
Soon, he received Shen Feng's order to bring these people in.
Then, he waved his hand and said,"Follow me."”
His voice was as cold as a machine, sending chills down one's spine.
This was probably not a living person, right?
The superstitious officials trembled. They had done so many shameful things and were most afraid of ghosts knocking at the door at night.
Some of the officials were so scared that they did not dare to leave. The soldiers behind could only push them with their guns, forcing them to move forward.
What a bunch of cowards! It would be a wonder if such a cowardly rat could protect the Great Eastern Country!
As they walked, they saw military camps, war chariot factories, aerial units, bomber planes, and so on. They were dazzled and amazed.
"These iron lumps with wings look like birds but aren't birds. What are they?”
"Is that the iron lump that took off yesterday? So big?"
"Look, that car with a pipe is actually moving with a belt. It's an eye-opener.”
"With such a powerful army, our Great Qing Empire's million cavalry would find it difficult to resist!”
The officials looked at the tanks and planes in surprise. They had never seen these things before. Looking at them from afar, they felt a little scared.
It was too shocking. Everything here was made of steel, and their defense was frighteningly high.
At this moment, a mining vehicle had just returned from work. They happened to pass by, and all of them looked at the mining vehicle with their mouths wide open. They were all stunned.
The wheels alone were taller than a carriage!
Not to mention the huge body of the car, it was extremely shocking.
"What, what car is this?"
"Even the walls of Nanguang City can't stop this giant carriage!”
"A million cavalrymen were directly crushed into minced meat, right?”
The officials of the entire dynasty were shocked. They doubted that the million cavalrymen of the entire dynasty could flatten this land of springs.
Deng Tingzhen looked at it for a long time and was also dumbfounded. This place was filled with steel. If he couldn't even cut through it with his saber, how could he fight in the future?
He couldn't help but feel terrified. The negotiations were going to be over!
Although Lin Zexu had given him the task of finding out who occupied Xiangdao and did not mention the issue of submission, Deng Tingzhen subconsciously believed that Xiangdao would either submit or be an enemy.
Therefore, he had to make a choice for the owner of this island. He really wanted that ship.
Soon, under the lead of the soldiers, they arrived at the bottom floor of a white building.
In front of them was a bulletproof glass door. It was very hard. These officials had never seen it before and thought it was just an ordinary door.
He couldn't help but reveal a curious expression.
They actually used glass as a door. This idea was quite strange. When they went back, they would also get one.
When they got close, the glass door slowly opened automatically. The expressions of these officials changed.
There was no one there, but the door opened by itself. Could there really be a ghost here?
