    In the Kingdom of Danyang, Wu Fanghai, as the commander-in-chief of the five-nation coalition, was invited by the Great Emperor of the Kingdom of Danyang to formally visit the Emperor.

    We met, and the Emperor of Danyang Kingdom thanked one and thanked the other. In short, he is very grateful to you five countries for your help. Now that the help is over, is it time to get out?

    Wu Fanghai said seriously: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is just about to say goodbye to Your Majesty. But Your Majesty still has one thing left to do."

    "What's going on?" The Emperor of Danyang Kingdom frowned.

    "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to break away from the Kingdom of Canglan and rejoin the West!"

    The emperor¡¯s nervous eyes immediately relaxed a lot.  I thought it was something.  This thing is simple, but it is also really important.  Name is an invisible and intangible thing, but sometimes it is really crucial.

    That afternoon, the Emperor of Danyang Kingdom officially announced the abolition of the unequal treaty with Canglan Kingdom, and placed the relevant responsibilities entirely on Prime Minister Wang Fei, accusing Wang Fei and related interest groups of making the decision.  Then, Wang Fei became the scapegoat.

    Killing but not killing, that¡¯s so chilling.  But Wang Fei was dismissed as prime minister.  The new prime minister appointed is very interesting-it turns out to be Chao Yue, the former owner of the royal trading house of Danyang Kingdom.

    This meaning is very obvious. We must also follow the example of Qixia Country and develop industry and commerce.  Not only that, the emperor of the Danyang Kingdom also lowered his status and asked Wu Fanghai to take Chao Yue to the Qixia Kingdom to study.

    Wu Fanghai did not refuse. This is also a good opportunity to draw closer relations between the two countries.  After the Emperor of Danyang Kingdom issued an announcement, the coalition forces began to retreat.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Except for the Qixia country, which has no offence, the other legions of the four nations all returned with a full load.  As for the land dispute between the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Danyang, the Kingdom of Qixia has not opened its mouth - you two countries should just let it go, I will just watch the excitement.

    For the country of Qixia, it is not a good thing that the other countries are harmonious.

    No, there is something going on between the Kingdom of Zhoushan and the Kingdom of Zhongshan - the caravan of the Kingdom of Yanyun that buys elixirs must pay taxes if they want to pass through the two countries!

    From the country of Yanyun to the country of Qixia, there is the country of Zhoushan in between.  Some time ago, the Kingdom of Yanyun invaded the Kingdom of Zhoushan, causing great harm to the Kingdom of Zhoushan. Naturally, the Kingdom of Zhoushan could not give up and had a very tough attitude.

    "No way, the country of Yanyun can only take a curved path, preparing to cross the country of Jinyang and detour to the country of Zhongshan.  But the country of Zhongshan also collects taxes; the taxes are lower than those of the country of Zhoushan, but it is also very painful.

    Just as Zhang Hao, Liu Xinyu and the think tanks of Qixia Kingdom analyzed, as long as Qixia Kingdom sells elixirs at a fair price and does not become the target of public criticism, other countries will naturally get into trouble because of conflicts.

    In this way, the Kingdom of Qixia can mediate and act as the captain.

    In this international atmosphere, Liu Xinyu once again informed all countries: Qixia Kingdom will hold an industrial and commercial expo at the end of the year. At that time, Qixia Kingdom will build an expo venue at the former site of the Guangling City Palace, and sincerely invites all countries to participate.  and released a detailed plan.

    The news spread and caused quite a stir.  The development model of the Country of Qixia is becoming more and more unfamiliar; but it seems it is very effective, because the industrial and commercial classes in various countries have become active.

    It was only a month before the end of the year. After getting the news, some trading houses from the Kingdom of Zhongshan began to set off, bringing various spiritual materials from the Kingdom of Zhongshan.

    For a time, the entire Western countries in the Fertile Continent began to be affected by the Kingdom of Qixia.  This scope of influence not only includes the former six countries, but also includes the Qingyun Kingdom further north, and even the once hostile Canglan Kingdom, etc.

    Since Liu Xinyu has publicly stated that she will open the door for business, the industrial and commercial classes in various places naturally have no reason to refuse.  The industrial and commercial class will not struggle with wealth.

    And in this atmosphere, an even more exciting atmosphere exploded - Dayang Group's second steel warship will undergo its first sea trial in three days!  And this time the displacement of the steel battleship reached an astonishing 12,800 tons, almost three times that of the Zhiyuan battleship!

    The news spread and there was an uproar!  Is the shipbuilding speed of Dayang Group too outrageous?  Although according to the news from Dayang Group, it will take about a month to outfit after the sea trial, but it is still shocking.

    Especially the displacement of 12,800 tons, which made countless well-informed people open their mouths - the Zhiyuan battleship, with a displacement of only 4,100 tons, bombarded the Langya Kingdom twice, but the Langya Kingdom did not say anything.

    Nowadays, coastal countries including Langya Kingdom and Canglan Kingdom are all thinking hard about the construction of steel battleships. As a result, everyone has not had time to start.He began to maintain order at the port and let people draw lots to board the ship.  Although it was an audition, the Zhang family also took the opportunity to show off their strength.  For this sea trial, it was announced in advance that ordinary audiences would be invited to board the ship and experience it by drawing lots.

    More than a dozen lotteries have been placed on the beach. The boxes are made of black iron and have seals.  Everyone could only reach out and fumble and take out paper balls one by one.

    There are handwriting printed on the paper ball.

    As the sun rose in the east, suddenly the Zhang family guards shouted from the port. Everyone began to draw lots. The second steel battleship was about to begin sea trials.

    Ma Jianliang immediately stood up and started lining up and drawing lots.  He was feeling a little nervous, wondering if he could catch him?

    Suddenly, a melodious and long-lasting sound came from the sea - only later did Ma Jianliang learn that this was called a whistle.  This is a device that uses high-pressure steam to produce sound.

    This time, the second steel battleship uses oil-fired steam boilers and steam turbines in its power system, instead of turbines driven by spirit stones.

    For the time being, which turbine is better is still being debated.  However, the currently developed steam turbines show very excellent performance.

    The sound of the whistle gradually approached, and behind a cliff, a huge steel ship that shocked Ma Jianliang slowly appeared.

    The giant ship has not yet completed outfitting, it is just a sea trial. The deck is empty, and there are even exposed steel beams in many places. There are still huge holes where the artillery is placed.

    But the most obvious thing on the giant ship is undoubtedly a flat "chimney" more than ten meters high. This chimney is about three meters thick, five or six meters wide, and has a flat oval shape.  At this time, the chimney was emitting light black smoke.

    Dugu Junjie, who had just completed his fifth voyage, stood at the bow of the ship in high spirits.  He put his hands behind his back and held his head high.

    The giant ship came slowly and gradually entered everyone's sight.  Countless people opened their mouths in surprise.

    The huge steel monster, more than 160 meters long and 27 meters wide, gradually reveals its majestic body.  There are actually two holes in the middle and rear of the giant ship that are draining water. The water is steaming and the temperature seems to be very high.

    But there are four big characters on the side of the giant ship: Iron Duke!

    The name of the first battleship is ¡®Zhiyuan¡¯.  Obviously the name of this second battleship is the 'Iron Duke'.

    "Why is it such a strange name?" Ma Jianliang was a little confused.

    The huge warship gradually sailed out of the cliff, gradually revealing everything.  An unspeakable shock came over my face.

    Suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, and Ma Jianliang faintly heard a voice saying that the Queen was coming.
