Chapter 352 The Pitiful Kingdom of Women

Actually, when everyone saw these female soldiers from the Kingdom of Women coming up, they didn't have high hopes to begin with.

After all, the Kingdom of Women is mostly populated by women, and it would be difficult for these women to wear armor weighing tens of kilograms.

Let alone wearing them in battle, so in everyone's opinion, it was unrealistic for the soldiers of the Women's Kingdom to wear heavy armor.

There's another reason, which some of the princes and princesses present also understood: the Kingdom of Women is almost entirely populated by women.

Therefore, it was very backward in some heavy industries, such as steel forging, iron smelting, and the manufacture of combat suits.

Since they lacked the skill to create iron and armor, they naturally couldn't have worn such armor.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Women's Kingdom had the most outdated weaponry and equipment on the entire battlefield.

It could even be described as shabby; it was almost unbearable to look at.

The princess of the Women's Kingdom also felt somewhat embarrassed, and couldn't help but show a wronged expression on her face.

This weapons display puts the Women's Kingdom at a huge disadvantage. The reason they look so aggrieved during the weapons display is because everyone is casting all sorts of mocking and sarcastic glances at them.

Isn't this exactly the kind of bullying that the Women's Kingdom often suffers?

Some neighboring countries often bully, mock, and exploit the Women's Kingdom because of its weakness.

Just like now, when everyone sees these soldiers from the Kingdom of Women, they also think they are very weak, so they throw all kinds of ridicule at them.

Therefore, the princess of the Women's Kingdom decided to attend this gathering of various countries.

The aim is also to establish cooperation with some countries at this gathering of nations.

She also hoped to pay a price to make the Kingdom of Women strong, because she knew very well that only when the Kingdom of Women was strong would the surrounding countries stop bullying them.

This is why she always wanted to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty.

Throughout the entire event, only Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu did not laugh; instead, they witnessed the heartbreaking tragedy of the Women's Kingdom.

Such a weak nation is indeed not easy to maintain. Relying on such a small number of soldiers to uphold the dignity of the Kingdom of Women is clearly not enough.

Despite this, the princess of the Women's Kingdom still stepped forward and tried her best to seek cooperation with various countries, hoping to make the Women's Kingdom stronger, which made Zhu Yunwen somewhat admire her.

At the same time, Zhao Qingzhu also sighed deeply. Then she whispered to Zhu Yunwen beside her:

"The Kingdom of Women has really had a tough time, Your Highness. It would be good if our Great Ming could help them. Besides, cooperating with them can also boost the economy and foreign trade of Great Ming, which is also a good thing."

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said:

“I understand. Didn’t I promise the princess of the Women’s Kingdom that she could come to the Ming Dynasty to study? I will also personally visit the Women’s Kingdom then, hoping to reach some cooperation with them.”

Hearing Zhu Yuntong say this, Zhao Qingzhu felt slightly relieved.

At this moment, the prince of Chechi Kingdom was somewhat impatient.

He looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:

"Now only the Ming Dynasty and our Chechi Kingdom remain, and neither has yet displayed any weapons. Why don't you, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, demonstrate your weapons first?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled. He naturally understood their weapons; if they were to be displayed, they would instantly destroy all the other weapons present.

Therefore, he didn't want to show it now, but wanted it to be the last one.

So he said:

"Hasn't Chechi Kingdom also not made a presentation? I think Chechi Kingdom should present first. Our Great Ming has always liked to be the last to appear."

The prince of Chechi frowned. He wanted to say something, but it was clear that if Zhu Yunwen was unwilling to make the first move, then there was nothing he could do.

So, after thinking about something, the prince of Chechi Kingdom sneered and said:

"Since that's the case, then I'll respectfully accept your offer. However, I'm afraid that after my Chechi Kingdom has made its display, the Ming Dynasty will be too embarrassed to continue making displays."

Therefore, we must agree beforehand that after Chechi Kingdom displays its offerings, Great Ming must display theirs no matter what, and there can be no excuse for not doing so.

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile:

"That's natural."

In fact, Zhu Yunwen was also very much looking forward to this weapons display segment at the gathering of princes from various countries.

This would indeed allow us to demonstrate the military strength of the Ming Dynasty to other countries.

Only in this way can we deter other countries and make them understand that the Ming Dynasty is a great power in the East, an undisputed behemoth, and is not something that any of these countries can provoke.

Especially the Kingdom of Chechi!

After all, the Kingdom of Chechi had previously warned the Ming Dynasty not to interfere in the war between Chechi and Gaochang, and Zhu Yunwen still held a grudge about that.

The Chechi Kingdom needs to understand that the reason why the Ming Dynasty didn't participate in the end wasn't because it was afraid of the Chechi Kingdom.

Rather, the Ming Dynasty simply couldn't be bothered to get involved in such matters.

If you want to participate, it's just a matter of moving your fingers.

At this moment, the princes and princesses from various countries were also very much looking forward to the next clash.

Although in previous encounters, Zhu Yunwen had the upper hand over Che Zhiguo from every angle.

They even crushed the Kingdom of Chechi.

But a nation's strength is indeed reflected in its weapons and soldiers.

Other things, like the prince of Chechi Kingdom, may just be a means to an end for others.

It's like the Kingdom of Zhu Zi creating a giant lighter. No matter how powerful or useful it is, if its national strength is inferior to that of the Kingdom of Che Chi, and it's occupied by the Kingdom of Che Chen, then wouldn't this thing also become the property of the Kingdom of Che Chi?

So ultimately, it all comes down to a country's military strength.

That's the real truth.

Chechi Kingdom is a newly emerging and very powerful country.

The Ming Dynasty has always been very powerful.

This is a display of military strength between the two great powers, one old and one new.

This scene has indeed attracted much attention from all countries.

The anticipation is off the charts.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen also spoke, saying to the prince of Chechi Kingdom:

"In that case, let us see just how powerful Chechi Kingdom's weapons and military strength really are. It will be good for us to learn from them."

The prince of Chechi Kingdom sneered repeatedly:

"Then open your eyes and look carefully, so you won't be scared."

As he said this, he waved his hand, and the next moment, several soldiers from the Chechi Kingdom, fully armed and incredibly domineering, walked in from outside the main hall.
