In Calais, France, Cardinal Archbishop Mazaran and the 11-year-old prince are waiting for the arrival of the Orient.

When the Oriental had already arrived with envoys from local kingdoms such as the Netherlands, Germany, and Nordic, the French envoys who had been waiting in Calais Port for a long time were alarmed.

"Is this an Oriental ship?"

The young French prince followed the Archbishop in Cardinal and saw the steam ironclad ship that he had never seen in France.

Louis XIV, originally supposed to be called the "Sun King", reigned for 72 years and helped France dominate the continent. However, it is hard to say now. He is more likely to have a little say in the continent and is far from being dominant.

In any case, the appearance of the Oriental steam passenger ship suffered a huge impact on his immature worldview.

The steel hull of the Oriental was made of black paint, and it looked like a steel castle floating on the sea. It was obviously not loaded with any artillery, but it was intimidating.

"I would like to ask His Majesty the King to allow you to go to the East to attend the World Expo. You have to experience the civilization of the East, and then you can learn to deal with the civilization of the East after ascending the throne." Archbishop Mazaran in the Row reminded the Crown Prince.

"Architect, don't you go to the East with me?" asked Louis XIV.

"There are still many nobles in China who are rebelling. I must be here to suppress them. Prince Kong Dai will go with you." Mazaran said.

Prince Conde, who had no military power in the Kingdom of France, personally led the French envoys this time.

Prince Kong Dai should have been one of the most powerful commanders in the continent in the 17th century, but he had been severely taught a lesson by the Holy Alliance led by Sun Chuanting, and was inexplicably afraid of China.

Prince Kong Dai looked at the Oriental, which was like a fortress on the sea, and felt unspeakable.

"Welcome to you, the French envoy, you are the last group of guests on our current voyage of the 'Orient'." The captain of the Oriental personally disembarked to welcome the French envoy.

"Your ship is really huge, the length of the hull is more than 100 meters, right? Which kingdoms are planning to attend the World Expo?" asked Mazaran.

"Denmark, Sweden, Tsarist Russia, Poland, Brandenburg, Bavaria, Austria, Saxony, Cologne, Netherlands..." The captain of the Oriental took stock of it.

The highest level of envoys sent by each kingdom is the king, followed by the duke or other great nobles.

Not all kings or dukes of any kingdom are willing to take risks to the East. Only Denmark, Sweden, and Brandenburg dare to take risks like this, and few other kingdoms dare to act like this.

Tsarist Russia sent the princesses, Poland, Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, the Netherlands and other forces sent the great nobles.

Despite this, the face of the Archbishop Ma Zaran in the Clothing was already a little cautious.

France has always wanted to gain continental hegemony, but France did not have the ability to convene so many kingdoms to send such grand envoys to participate in a grand event.

This World Expo convened not only the continental country, but also the Eastern countries, with its influence far above the European Union Conference that soon collapsed.

"His Highness Louis XIV, the Crown Prince of France, went on a mission to the East, please be sure to take care of his safety." Mazaran was a little unwilling to accept that China's influence in continental projections were greater than that of France, but he had to accept this fact.

"We will try our best to ensure his safety." The captain said.

Prince Condé took Crown Prince Louis XIV on a boat, and then climbed the Oriental along the gangway of the Oriental.

Prince Louis XIV was full of curiosity about the Orient and looked around when boarding the ship.

"Incredible, is this the ironclad ship that defeated us in the Battle of Dunkirk? Why can the steel-cast hull float on the sea?" Prince Conde is different from the young Louis XIV.

Louis XIV was a lot of novelty about children, while Prince Condé wondered why he was defeated before and inspected the other party's ironclad ships.

The existence of ironclad ships gave the continental countries a deep sense of despair. The ironclad ships, in terms of the firepower of large-caliber artillery and the defense of iron armor, far exceeds the current Galen sailing ships of the continental countries.

If you cannot find a way to sink the ironclad ship, then the entire ocean will be controlled by the Chinese ironclad ships.

"This is the eldest son of King Louis XIII. Please take care of you in the next voyage." Prince Conde brought Louis XIV to see the kings and nobles on the Oriental.

"Is the crown prince of the Kingdom of France? That's really amazing. King Louis XIII was really willing to give up... But it doesn't matter. The French royal family had two princes. Even if the eldest son had an accident, the second son could ascend the throne." said the noble from Austria, the Holy Roman Empire.

"Please pay attention to your wording. His Highness Louis XIV is the legal heir to our King of France." Prince Conde was not very close to Austria.

"Okay, okay, everyone, now is not the time to argue. We hope that during the International Nations Expo, the continental countries will temporarily stop fighting. It will take more than half a year to reach the East. In the next period of time, everyone will look up and see each other. It is best to maintain peace." The captain of the Oriental said helplessly.

The relationship between the continental countries is too complicated. Each kingdom has territorial and historical disputes with many other kingdoms and principalities, and rarely has a great unification. The Thirty Years War did not end long before it wanted to continue fighting.

Now the more powerful French envoys are coming to the Oriental passenger ship, which is more lively or noisy.

"There are still many empty rooms on this ship?"

Prince Kong Dai discovered that only nobles with extremely prominent identities could be accommodated in the Oriental passenger ship, so the Oriental passenger ship still had many empty cabins.

"We still have ships to pick up people in the Mediterranean and North Africa, but at present, we only have one large steam passenger ship in the West. When we gather in London, the envoys of the Kingdom of Mediterranean will also transfer to the Oriental passenger ship. Similarly, when we arrive in the Persian Empire, the Kingdom of Bangladesh and other places, they will also board the Oriental." The captain explained.

"The Persian Empire...even they had to send envoys to the Eastern Capital?" Prince Kong Dai was quite surprised.
