"This is what they said about 'photos'. What do you think?" Earl Compton sent the black and white photos sent by the photo studio to the nobles who accompanied him to watch, and was quite proud.

Although he is not as handsome as the oil painter in his mind in the black and white photos, he is still adept. The most important thing is that he has no processing and is rare technology.

Several nobles who accompanied him nodded after seeing the black and white photos, and were secretly amazed at the fact that the camera could really take real images.

"Many places here are unique, such as trains, electric lights, black and white cameras, which I have never heard of before. When Sir Greenville mentioned these things, I couldn't believe it until I saw it." Earl of Compton said, "The buildings here are also very strange. The place called the Sihe Courtyard should be suitable for large families."

"I saw that their train travel thousands of miles a day and could carry hundreds of people. If all the counties in the island of Britain have railways, our cargo and personnel could easily pass everywhere. If we attack Scotland and Ireland, we could gather tens of thousands of troops to the front line in one day. Even if we target the European continent, we could gather troops as soon as possible." said a noble who also served as a lieutenant of the British Army.

"That's true. When rebellions occur in various places, along with Ireland and other places, the royal army can arrive day and night." Earl Compton agreed.

"Miss Salina, the daughter of Sir Greenville, asks for a visit." A servant came in and informed.

"Sir Greenville's daughter? I heard that she stayed in this oriental city when she went on a mission to the East last year and fell in love with an oriental man."

"His Royal Highness Sophia is still studying here, so we need to find some time to visit His Royal Highness."

"I don't know if His Highness the Princess is doing well now. His Majesty the King has another order to us this time."

When several nobles heard that Salina was visiting, they thought that they had not yet visited Princess Sophia who lived in the capital.

Salina and Li Jinde came in, and both sides performed their etiquette. Several British nobles looked at Salina curiously. Salina was dressed as a Han woman at this time, without the bloated and gorgeous clothes of European nobles.

"It was indeed Sir Greenville who should have brought the delegation to him, but he felt a cold before he set out, and he was arguing with your mother because of your stay in the East. Now that the separation of both sides has aggravated his condition, I will replace him as the leader of the envoy." After Salina explained his purpose, Earl of Compton explained why Sir Greenville was not included in the British envoy.

When Salina heard that her mother had separated from her father because she chose to stay in the East, and her father was sick again, she couldn't help but worry. Being sick in this era is not a trivial matter, and it is very likely that it will cause the separation of yin and yang.

"Don't worry too much. I will soon lead the fleet to Britain. I will visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law at that time." Li Jinde comforted him.

"It's a pity that Ying Er is still young, otherwise I would also like to follow the fleet back to Britain." Salina said.

"Ocean navigation is too dangerous, we cannot go to sea at the same time. It's like my father was killed in the sea, and my mother brought me up," said Li Jinde.

"Don't say that, my husband, you will be safe and sound."

"Ahem, Mr. Li is the person in charge of taking the fleet to London City?" Although Compton and other British nobles could not understand their conversation, they could feel that Li Jinde and Salina were showing off their food.

"Our Western company originally expected to set off for London this month, but the time for our departure may be slightly delayed when you come. After you negotiate with the government, we will go to London together." Li Jinde said.

According to the Western company's vision, whether Charles I passed the revised trade regulations, the Western company and the Fourth Fleet merchant ships would go to Britain. Putting one million taels of silver into the construction of the sailing ships and the preparation of goods, and even sending the Fourth Fleet as the escort of the merchant fleet, it is impossible for Charles I to stop the plan to open up a great sailing road to the West because of Charles I's will.

In addition to Britain, Europe also has many small countries. With the escort of the Fourth Fleet, it will definitely be able to open up the local market with artillery. At present, the Jiuzhou Army does not have the ability to control Britain at a distance of tens of thousands of miles, so it is relatively easy to control a third-rate city-state or principality.

"I wonder how large the fleet your country intends to send to our city of London?" asked Count Compton.

"Merchant ships, supply ships and escort warships, there are roughly fifty large sailboats on and off," said Li Jinde.

Fifty large sailboats! Several British nobles looked at each other.

There is not such a large fleet in the Atlantic Ocean, but there are few merchant fleets of this size that travel between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands was active in East Asia. At the time of the largest number of Dutch ships in Southeast Asia, there were only more than twenty ships. The East India Company of Britain specially organized a fleet of more than ten ships at a time.

This is the first time that China's mainland went directly to Europe for trade, so it used a fleet and a huge merchant fleet. It can only be said that the Eastern Empire was too large.

"I hope you can abide by the treaty and provide protection policies for our British merchants, and we work together to monopolize trade above the sea." Earl of Compton vaguely felt that the potential of Chinese merchants with the support of the government was too terrible.

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty the King has the right to tariffs. Our Western trading company's factories established locally must pay taxes and rents to the royal family. We will definitely abide by the management of the City of London, and we will make a good fortune." Li Jinde said.

He didn't care what would become in the future. As a businessman, he only knew that it would be beneficial to Western companies. As for maintaining political commitments, what problems would happen in the future, there were also the artillery of the Jiuzhou Army carrying it.

"We believe in your contract spirit. London City is not as prosperous as the capital here, but it is also a leading city in Europe. If your country's fleet arrives, our London City will have a higher status in Europe."

"Miss Salina, where is Princess Sophia now? We have His Majesty's letter to His Royal Highness." Earl of Compton mentioned Princess Sophia's affairs.

"Princess Sophia, she should still be teaching at the Beijing University..." Salina calculated the time and said.
