C676 Two celebrations

In the middle of the summer, the Ryukyu was in a storm, but it also came and went quickly. A big storm at night washed the city clean, and when the white birds woke Xiao Letian up early the next morning, the weather outside was extremely good.

The morning sun had dyed the eastern sky golden, and the further to the west one could see the orchids in the sky, at this time, there were already citizens gathering at Ryukyu's pier.

The completion of the submarine cable and the departure ceremony of the first batch of students on board the ship were like a grand festival.

Xiao Letian quickly washed up and changed into a new set of clothes. The beautiful General s Dress that he wore refreshed and refreshed his spirit. After casually eating a few mouthfuls of bread and jam, Xiao Letian walked out of the Prime Minister's Manor under the protection of the guards.

After the horse passed through two streets, Xiao Letian met the American and British envoys who had just arrived yesterday. Behind them, there was even the priest Louis who blinked at him, looking carefully at the black man Sai Men who was carrying a camera equipment as well. When he saw Xiao Letian, he laughed so hard that his teeth showed.

When the group gathered together, Minister Hua Ruohan rubbed his temples and said, "I'm really old, I didn't even know how to keep quiet during last night's royal ball, I really wanted a glass of the rich French wine, I actually had a headache this morning …"

"British Minister Sir Ai Liguo smiled and said," I am indebted to Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea's hospitality. Naturally, the best wine would be served, if I am not mistaken, it should be the top grade goods of the White Horse Wine Villa and the Orson Wine Villa in the Bordeaux region, this is a famous wine that only a few experts know of!

"Minister is amazing, you can tell from one look that you're a wine taster, I don't really understand this. The wine we drank last night was all taken by me from French Expeditionary Force, so it should belong to those high ranking military officers, who knows?"

These words almost made Ai Liguo choke to death. If you don't show off your achievements, will you die? Will die!

At this time, the drunkard Pierre, who had urged his horse to come over from the back of the line, said, "I can testify that all of these belong to the Knights of Molière. That fellow is a wine fanatic from the Bordeaux region …"

Everyone joked with the Frenchman for a while and soon arrived at the Pier Plaza. On the tall stage, there was a telegraph wrapped in red silk.

"His Majesty the Great Qing Emperor Tongzhi has arrived … His Excellency Ryukyu Kingdom King Shang Tai had arrived. Silence! "

The ten ceremonial officials announced the arrival of the most noble emperors and kings in unison. Zai Chun finally appeared among the citizens of Ryukyu in his dragon robe.

More than half of the hundred thousand onlookers kneeled down, and the remaining New Army soldiers and overseas Chinese also bowed 90 degrees. After all, Ai Xinjueluozaichun was the master of over ten million square kilometers of land.

At this time, Xiao Letian could not display his master's skills, and bowed as well. However, when Zai Chun saw his master, he quickly got up from the soft couch and bowed slightly to show his respect.

The throne of the emperor and king was placed on a high platform, with Zai Chun being the master of the throne and Shang Tai providing support. When the two of them stepped onto a flowery path and sat down, the ceremony officially began.

There was no need to go into details about the lion dance dragon performance and the firecrackers. There was no need to mention the blessings of the various countries and industry representatives.

After half an hour of tormenting, the sounds of firecrackers rang out in the northern sky during the daytime. Crackling sounds continuously rang out in the sky.

"connected …" is a signal from the Amami Oshima... "Long live!" The crowd immediately burst into cheers.

That's right, the American engineers of the Amami Oshima finally connected the two cables together. When they cheered out loud, they immediately sent out a signal to both the north and the south with artillery.

Just like the message principle at the beacon tower, the sound of cannons could be heard one by one from each island's merchant ship, and good news was quickly transmitted to the intended target.

Inside Deer Island's Heaven's Tower, Dao Jinzhongyi, his servants and Sakamoto Ryoma were anxiously looking out towards the bay. The merchant ships anchored at the ocean were waiting for their signal to the south.

In the center of Heaven's Tower, the telegraph had already been set up. A few Telegraph operator s knelt down from the telegraph and respectfully didn't move.

"This is it? Can it instantly transmit information for more than a thousand miles? Deer Island and that Ba must be at least one thousand two hundred kilometers away! " Huashan Liyuan quietly underestimated them.

Sakamoto Ryoma laughed, "Not only that, even if it's more than ten thousand kilometers, telegraph can also send a message in an instant …"

Just at this time, a Xiao Xing suddenly bellowed out, "Quick! There is movement on the boat, they are about to light a fire!" The cannons have been fired, they have been fired! "

Bang Bang Bang... The dull sound of the cannon was the signal, all the people in Heaven's Tower lied beside the telegraph, staring with their eyes wide open, their butts pouting even higher than their heads.

The distant tyrant of the Ryukyu, Xiao Letian had already written a line of big words on a big piece of white paper. What a domineering telegraph language, only Xiao Letian could think of such domineering words.

No one dared to laugh at Xiao Letian. The Telegraph operator hurriedly followed the input of the codebook, and Xiao Letian's questions were instantly transmitted to the Deer Island.

When the telegraph s of the Deer Island began to spit out their electric newspaper, the officials of the Shimadzu Family all roared and dodged it. The divine being is moving! "

Telegraph operator, who was kneeling in worship, quickly translated. Such a simple telegraph language can't be wrong. After the three large words appeared on the paper, Dao Jinzhongyi asked in puzzlement, "These are the first words that the prime minister said to me? "Hurry back, I've already eaten. For breakfast, I ate abalone rice …"

When Dao Jinzhongyi's reply reached Ryukyu, everyone was immediately stirred. Not only were they excited, they even laughed out loud.

All of the noble guests laughed crazily, Xiao Letian's humor impressed everyone.

"En, Deer Island's abalones are very delicious, please send a batch over …"

"Prime Minister, don't worry. This afternoon, the most fresh abalones will be shipped to the Prime Minister …"

"May I ask how much the price of rice Deer Island has today …"

"Ah, there's actually a 1 silver difference between every stone and that Ba? I'm going to gather a bunch of rice and go to Deer Island to earn some money …

Xiao Letian and Dao Jinzhongyi's every word was written in extremely long white cloth, and then they hung on the platform facing the wind. The miraculous telegraph had subdued everyone, especially the representatives sent by Hu Xueyan, those who were hesitant to invest in the business in Jiang-Nan city, all of them were convinced at that moment.

"It's a miracle, it's really magical, I have to invest in it!" This was what everyone was roaring in their hearts.

The British Minister's face did not look good, but the American minister, Hua Ruohan, keenly noticed the subtle changes in. "Soon, the United States and the Ryukyu will be discussing the laying of the Pacific Seabed telegraph cables, and now that the information in the Atlantic Ocean has been released, if we were to conquer the Pacific Ocean, then we will form a gigantic global telegraph network network …"

"This is the wealth of all humans, and all nations can benefit from it. I think we should cooperate with Xiao Letian to form an international telegraph group, and calculate the shares based on the length of their respective telegraph line s …"

"For someone as smart as you, Sir, I'm sure you'd be able to see the benefits. That's a gold mine, there's no end to it …"

"Heh heh, I know what you're worried about. Do you think the shareholder Riga is a bit reluctant? "Believe me, this snake is very difficult to deal with. If you do not consider its benefits, you will all have a headache in the future!"

Sir Ai Liguo hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, Xiao Letian is a very important strategic partner of the United Kingdom. We are very willing to work together with many parties on economic cooperation, which is definitely beneficial for the British Empire's interests …"

The two old fox diplomats smiled at each other, then stood up and walked down the viewing platform. They were preparing to take a picture with Xiao Letian, since the success of this telegraph line would definitely speed up the laying of the Asian telegraph network, since the European side was already lagging behind, they had no choice but to cooperate.

The camera recorded the entire ceremony, Ryukyu and Deer Island became a sea of joy, once Shimadzu Family possessed such a divine item, he immediately called for a banquet for his servants, causing the entire Heaven's Tower to be filled with cheers.

It was not the time for the Ryukyu to hold a banquet, it was the time for Xiao Letian to send off the students. A Dutch scissor boat in the harbor was going to take 500 foreign students to Europe, and a US scissor boat was going to take 400 students to America.

The 900 students wore suits specially made for them by Xiao Letian. Each of them had a sturdy leather suitcase as they stood in the open ground in a rigid military formation.

Two-thirds of the people here were orphans, with no family members to send them off. Only En Yangzhong's aunt, who had taken care of them before, and his comrades in the new army remained.

The remaining one-third of them were children from Ryukyu and the Tanggu's Hundred Families. Their parents were already crying loudly around them.

"Child …" Don't be afraid to spend money when you go out. Don't let yourself be wronged! "

"Go out and study in a foreign land. Come back as soon as possible …"

They were all orphans of the Heaven Realm Movement. Without their parents, who knows what would have happened in the future if Xiao Letian hadn't saved them.

Xiao Letian was acutely aware of the emotions of the students. He opened his arms and hugged each and every En Yangzhong.

"The new army is your home, and I am your relative. The suffering of your childhood is just one of the obstacles in your life. All you have to do is properly learn, return to your country, and do your job well …"

"I know that you have no parents or descendants, but they are also watching over you from the heavens. They will work hard to build their own families so that your children can live a better life in the future and not suffer anymore …"

"Your ancestors watched over you from the sky. You will never be alone …"

Xiao Letian slapped on their backs, his eyes opened wide, "Liu Anchen, you have to work hard … Qiu Wei, you have to be strong... Jiang Yuheng, Yan Xing … Remember the Home Country, and don't forget the elders from your hometown … "

"Xiang Ying, Jin Sanshun, Lin Zhen, Cai Bixia … "Don't think about your own past anymore. Forget about everything else. Let's start your new career in Europe and restore the glory of your families …"

"I, Xiao Letian, salute you here!"

Xiao Letian and countless of the new army stood at attention and saluted. As they cried, the foreign students boarded two merchant ships.
