Zhang Tie sat in the car without getting out, but looked at Philip carefully. Until now, he was not sure whether someone was playing a prank here.
This tradition of pranking in public places can almost be traced back to before the Cataclysm. It is a kind of good-natured jokes and pranks in public. In this kind of prank, many people are often led to some specious realities by those pranking guys.
Or in a scene, the behavior of those being teased in such scenes often makes some people watching hidden in the side laugh.
Zhang Tie had seen this kind of thing when he was reading. He heard that it was very popular before the catastrophe, but in reality, he had never encountered it once. Zhang Tie didn't know if there were such boring people in Jinhai City.
.
"I remind you that my time is precious. If this is a joke, I hope it ends here. The consequences of wasting my time may be serious!" Seeing Philip, Zhang Tie directly used a skillful and pure expression.
Tell Philip in Hebrew.
Regarding Zhang Tie's proficiency in Hebrew, the bald taxi driver and Philip were slightly surprised. In this era, as a Chinese, there are too few people who can speak Hebrew. In this era, there are almost many Chinese speakers.
The national standard diplomatic language, especially in Hebrew-speaking areas, on many occasions, being able to speak fluent Chinese has almost become a symbol of nobility and status. This is a commonly used language in the upper class.
"Sir, as a diplomat of the Empire, I do have reason to feel ashamed of the shabby current situation of the Imperial Embassy, but this is all for a reason. If you don't mind me delaying you for a few minutes, I can send the Empire to
I will tell you completely the reason why the embassy has become like this. This is a national tragedy. However, I think since your time is so precious, sir, we can talk about this topic while you are waiting for your personal identity certificate.
.What do you think?”
Zhang Tie looked at Phillip's disheveled face, stretched out his hand and threw ten silver coins to the bald driver, and then got out of the car. When he took out the silver coins, Zhang Tie saw a gleam in Phillip's eyes.
It’s only ten silver coins, so what? Zhang Tie secretly sighed. The current situation of this embassy seems to be worse than he imagined. It is simply bizarre.
Seeing Zhang Tie get out of the car, Philip, the senior commercial counselor of the Embassy of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in Jinyun State, took Zhang Tie into the embassy like a hotel boy. This embassy is so similar.
The offices of the black agents who lure immigrants to Heiyancheng near the train station.
"Why is your embassy in such a mess?" Zhang Tie asked in Chinese.
"Sir, it's a long story. Since fifteen years ago, our embassy can no longer obtain a copper coin from the country. Not only that, we have to turn over a certain number of gold coins to the country every year. In the past, Jinyun
After the embassy in the capital of the country was auctioned seven years ago, we moved to Huaiyuan County, first in Yiyang City. Then we moved to Stargazing City. Finally, because it was cheaper here, with the funding of several kind-hearted imperial businessmen, we moved to Huaiyuan County.
Choose to stay here!”
Philip's face was as bitter as a dried bitter melon.
"To be honest, the places used by the exiled government to prop up the show may be a hundred times better than yours!" Zhang Tie said unceremoniously.
"Who says otherwise? The exile government can at least gain some sympathy, unlike us. If we leave here, I would be embarrassed to say that I am a diplomat!" Philip sighed.
While saying these two sentences, Philip had already brought Zhang Tie upstairs to the embassy.
As if to increase the persuasiveness of this place, in the windows on both sides of the corridor above the embassy, there are actually various photos, documents, and files that prove the identity of the embassy.
Zhang Tie saw the credentials submitted by the Holy Golden Orchid Empire to the Jinyun Kingdom from the glass showcases that looked like cheap exhibits. The seal of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire and the seal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were clearly visible on the credential.
.
This opened Zhang Tie's eyes. If a liar could achieve this level, Zhang Tie felt that even if he was deceived, it would be worth it. This was so fucking dedicated. He could even forge credentials, just to defraud a few gold coins. The liar
Being able to do this is very commendable. In his entire life, Zhang Tie has never seen such high-level documents.
Seeing Zhang Tie showing interest in the certificate of credence in the exhibition cabinet, Philip quickly introduced it next to him.
"In the past, there was actually a letter of credence here submitted by the diplomatic department of Jinyun State to the Holy Golden Orchid Empire. Later, under the solemn protest and negotiation by the diplomatic department of Jinyun State, we collected the letter of credence and returned it to the country.
, this letter of credence was brought when the new ambassador took office a few years ago. It was not submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Jinyun State and was kept in the embassy. No one cared about it anyway!"
Just when Philip was introducing the credentials in the exhibition cabinet to Zhang Tie, the door next to him rang, and a man wearing a baggy shirt, a bulging belly, and a beard yawned from the room.
Came out.
Seeing Zhang Tie, the man blinked and suddenly became energetic, "Ha, Philip, have you got any business? Then we can have a good meal tonight!"
Philip rubbed his face with his hands in embarrassment and said to Zhang Tie, "Sir, please forgive me, let me introduce to you. This is the military attache of the embassy, Colonel Gooch!"
"Where are those two bastards Bailey and Ali? Aren't they standing guard outside? Did they go to the dock to work as porters to earn extra money?" Colonel Gooch cursed, then rubbed his belly, "Oh, I smell it.
The smell of the things below made me addicted to alcohol again. Philip, do you have money? Lend me a silver coin and I will buy a bottle of wine to satisfy my craving!"
Philip ignored this guy and turned a deaf ear to the offer of borrowing money. He directly took Zhang Tie and left, "I will take you to Ambassador Nicholas's office first. All identity documents in the embassy are from
Mr. Nicholas personally handles it, and this is also the main source of funding for the embassy now!"
After turning a corner from the corridor, Philip brought Zhang Tie to the door of an office. He knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. He knocked on the door again, but there was still no movement inside. Then Philip simply pushed the door open.
I walked in and woke up a skinny old man who was sleeping behind his desk. After gently saying something in the old man's ear, the old man sat up straight.
He looked at Zhang Tie with shining eyes.
"Hello, I am Nicholas, the ambassador of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire to Jinyun Kingdom. I heard from Philip that you want to apply for an identity document?"
From the time he came to this so-called embassy to now, Zhang Tie has figured out the current situation of this embassy. This embassy sounds awesome. But in fact, it is just a grassroots team, probably the same as those third-rate small companies and black intermediaries.
There's no difference.
Zhang Tie just walked over, and the smart and thoughtful Philip quickly pulled a chair to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie sat down, stretched out his hand and flicked. A gold coin drew a graceful arc and fell into Philip's hand, "I'll reward you."
of!"
Philip grabbed the gold coin with lightning speed, and then put it into his pocket at once, with a smile on his face, "Thank you, sir, your generosity really makes this place flourish."
Pi Shenghui. It is my honor to serve you!"
Ambassador Nikolai's throat was trembling, and he swallowed hard twice. With an agility that was incompatible with his age, his thin body suddenly jumped over from behind the desk, came to Zhang Tie, and bent down.
, smiled warmly. "Sir, please forgive me for my previous indifference. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Zhang Tie crossed his legs, patted his thigh gently with his hand, and suddenly took the initiative, "Tell me first, what kind of identity certificate can you apply for here?"
"We can apply for the official identity card of the citizens of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire here!" Nicholas finished. Then he turned to instruct Philip and said specifically, "Go and pour a glass of water for this distinguished gentleman. Use the one I collected.
Grow good tea!”
Philip was in a state of disarray.
"Is it that fake identity document?"
"It's true. If it's fake, it's definitely a genuine identity document, a legal identity document that can be passed through the Holy Golden Orchid Empire without any hindrance." Nicholas said excitedly, "This is the business of our embassy!"
"It doesn't matter if I wasn't from the Holy Golden Orchid Empire before?" Zhang Tie was surprised.
"It doesn't matter, it absolutely doesn't matter. The Holy Golden Orchid Empire is an extremely open country that recognizes multiple nationalities. Anyone who wants to join the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, regardless of his race, belief, or original nationality, we welcome with both hands.
, with only a few gold coins and a simple ceremony, we can quickly complete the procedures for you to become a citizen of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire!"
Damn, I really don’t know, the world is so wonderful. Zhang Tie secretly laughed in his heart that he used to be a country brat. He didn’t expect that there is such a weird country in the Hawaiian subcontinent. Compared with this embassy, those who make fake certificates are really weak.
.
Philip carefully brought a steaming tea cup over and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie only looked at the few small flaws on the edge of the white porcelain tea cup and a few listless roots floating like grass roots inside.
"Good tea." I instantly lost my appetite.
"I suddenly became interested in your country. Please tell me about the Holy Golden Orchid Empire. Such a country is really curious!"
In the exchange of words between Nicholas and Philip, the situation about the Holy Golden Orchid Empire gradually became clear in Zhang Tie's mind.
The Holy Golden Orchid Empire is a human country that appeared in the Wei subcontinent after the first human holy war. Although this country is not powerful, it can barely be regarded as a second-rate country on the mainland. Its strength cannot be underestimated. Its population
There are more than 26 million people, with a land area of 6.8 million square kilometers. The entire country has dozens of cities, large and small, and is a member of the Weiyi Subcontinent Human Race Central Nations Alliance.
The current Holy Golden Orchid Empire has fallen into such a strange situation. There is only one reason, and that is that this country has an extremely strange king - Haige VII.
What will happen to a dreamer who often has whimsical ideas when he becomes emperor? What is happening in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire today is the best illustration.
Haige VII ascended the throne at the age of sixteen. The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to spend half of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire's treasury, summoning strange people from all over the world, and whimsically wanted to build a magical aircraft that could compete with
A strange aircraft comparable to an aircraft with supersonic flight capabilities invented by humans before the Cataclysm...
In Haige VII's conception, in addition to being able to fly at a speed far exceeding that of airships in this era, this aircraft could also turn into a powerful machine warrior on the ground, capable of attacking cities and destroying everything.
Haige VII dreams of forming the only Gundam force of this era in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
The word "Gundam" was said by Haige VII himself. As for what it means, no one can understand it until now. Anyway, in the mouth of Haige VII, as long as the Holy Golden Orchid Empire has such a
troops, then it would be easy for the empire to dominate the world.
The dream of Haige VII shocked everyone, and his persistence in dreaming completely wiped out the treasury of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in just two years.
It is said that the reason why Haige VII was so crazy about flying into the sky and forming that strange Gundam force was because he saw several military works before the Cataclysm in the empire's royal library. As for what those military works were.
Not many people know that the Royal Library of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire contains millions of books, but only a few people can actually enter it.
Haige VII's dream of building an airplane turned into a terrifying bottomless pit. This bottomless pit not only sucked in the wealth of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire like flowing water, but also made the crazy Haige VII suffer from financial difficulties.
, came up with an even crazier idea.
Haige VII was not only a crazy dreamer, but also a kind-hearted good man. In the second year after he ascended the throne, this kind-hearted good man opposed all opinions and abolished the death penalty in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
In the third year of his accession to the throne, after personally inspecting a drought-stricken area in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, he abolished several taxes that the empire had long levied on civilians, and added the words "never increase taxes"
It was written into the Empire's "Sacred Code" and did something that no emperor of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire had ever done.
In his fourth year on the throne, when he was twenty years old, in order to alleviate the anger of imperial officials towards him and obtain enough research and development to build the magical machine of his dreams, he made an even crazier decision
.
As long as the officials of the empire swear allegiance to the imperial royal family and never betray, swear to abide by the "Sacred Code" and are willing to pay a large sum of money at one time according to their specific positions, then, after signing an agreement and documents, the position of the imperial official can be
It becomes hereditary in the family, just like the throne of the empire. Even the emperor of the empire cannot be removed.
Officials of all sizes in the empire went crazy...
Countless hereditary official positions were sold by Haige VII, and countless wealth flowed into the empire's treasury. Then, the wealth flowing into the empire's treasury fell into the whimsical dream of the emperor...
This crazy dream of Haige VII has been going on for ten years. In the past ten years, the originally powerful Holy Golden Orchid Empire has been tormented by this insane emperor to the point of almost losing his mind. Just when everyone thought that Haige VII could
When he became a little more normal and gave up on his terrible dream, Haige VII had a new dream.
At this time, Haige VII had just woken up from the dream of Flying Gundam, and then plunged into the more extensive and profound Chinese culture of the Eastern Continent. After hearing that there was a magical secret in the Eastern Continent,
When the boxing technique can be used to defeat the powerful with the strength of four ounces, the weak can defeat the strong, and it can be learned by both men and women, old and young, Haige VII became excited, and then he took a lot of followers and left
After taking possession of everything in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, he took an airship and ran to the Eastern Continent...
Haige VII dreamed of bringing this magical boxing technique back and letting all men, women, and children in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire learn it. By that time, the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, with its tens of millions of citizens mastering this boxing technique, would also be able to
It is easy to dominate the world.
Haige VII has been gone for twelve years.
Twelve years later, Haige VII returned. At this time, the Holy Golden Orchid Empire no longer needed an emperor after operating without an emperor for twelve years.
After some painful experiences, Haige VII finally woke up, had an epiphany, and became transcendent...
The Gundam, the Divine Fist, and the power were all gone at this moment. Haige VII discovered that only light and love are the eternal truths of the universe.
"As long as we have light and love in our hearts, one day in the future, the demons will be influenced by our selfless love. I will build the Holy Golden Orchid Empire into a heaven on earth, and build a kingdom full of love and light. As long as there is light and love in our hearts,
Those who love and light are all citizens of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire..." This was the heroic declaration made by King Haige VII on his 40th birthday, "full of selfless love."
…
As of this year, Haige VII is already fifty-eight years old. After more than 40 years of ruling the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, the entire Holy Golden Orchid Empire is still in the hands of the royal family except the capital of the empire, Ausley.
, in addition to allowing the imperial royal family to retain their last habitat, it is actually a miracle that the empire has not disintegrated and fallen apart.
The entire Osley tax, despite the desperate resistance of other royal members, was finally not misappropriated by the crazy emperor to carry out the great cause of "light and love" that could influence the demons. The money, except
Apart from barely maintaining a royal guard of more than 20,000 people guarding Ao Li and the daily expenses of the palace, everything else is already stretched thin.
…
"Originally, the position of the Empire's Foreign Secretary was just a useless position with no profit and water. It has never been favored by others. However, after this position was bought out by the Hillary family, it was discovered that there is still a lot of profit and water in it. At least it will put the Empire in various countries.
After all the properties of the embassy and consulate were sold, the Hillary family's investment in buying out the Imperial Foreign Minister was fully recovered!" When Nicholas said this, his tone was full of envy, and his expression was completely
Why did he not think of doing this in the first place and regretted it?
Zhang Tie was stunned when he heard this. A weird emperor created a weird country. Damn it, there are such things...
