These 1,800-plus countries each had roughly the same number of members as the Great Xia Dynasty.
Even if the iron-fisted Bismarck had integrated these 1,800-plus countries together...
The Germanic Empire, comprised of over 1,800 states, was only about the size of a single province of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The vehicle was driven for two days.
They had just arrived in their capital.
From a distance, the imperial palace was located in the middle of their capital.
The white palace looks majestic and imposing.
The cavalry escorted them only to the capital.
Two cavalrymen were the first to rush into the city to report the matter.
Soon, a troop of cavalry charged in from the capital.
These swift soldiers were still wearing medieval European armor.
It's clear that their armor is much better than that of the Hungarian cavalry.
Moreover, these cavalrymen were not carrying firearms.
Each cavalryman held a long spear in his hand.
"Your Excellency, I've heard that you are friends of the Prime Minister."
"His Majesty the King is waiting for you at the palace."
"plz follow me."
These cavalrymen quickly turned their horses around and headed straight for the palace with Jiang Tian in tow.
Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu followed closely behind. Li Yuanba looked around.
"My lord, these guys' gambling city doesn't even have walls. If that's the case, wouldn't it be very easy for the enemy to break in?"
Jiang Tian nodded.
"But in this day and age, how much use can walls really be?"
Europe is now basically equipped with artillery, and under the intense bombardment of artillery fire.
No matter how tall the city wall is, it can be easily breached.
Moreover, building city walls is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
This country was previously divided into more than 1,800 small countries.
Is every country a small kingdom?
“Every country has a castle, but these castles are not very big.”
Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu then understood why this country did not build city walls.
Even if they build city walls, what good will it do?
These city walls were time-consuming and labor-intensive, and were simply no match for artillery fire.
Even if we can withstand artillery fire, what then?
Escorted by cavalry, Jiang Tian drove quickly towards the palace.
This palace is much larger than the palace of the Frankish Kingdom.
On the street, many people were watching Jiang Tian.
They had never seen a vehicle like Jiang Tian before.
Especially when they saw the two large tigers following Jiang Tian's vehicle.
Upon seeing the crowd, the tiger quickly raised its head and let out a long roar.
Upon seeing this, the guys were so frightened that they all backed away.
The group headed straight for the palace.
Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the palace.
It wasn't because their capital was so large, but because their streets were so narrow.
Jiang Tian drove very slowly.
King Charles IX was already waiting there.
Jiang Tian slowly parked the car at the entrance of the palace and got out.
"Honorable guest, this is our King." The cavalry captain dismounted and introduced him to Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian strode forward.
"His Majesty the King is pleased to meet you."
Charles IX was preoccupied with Bismarck's safety and had no interest in chatting with Jiang Tian.
"Honorable guest, I heard you have come from afar. How did you manage to meet with His Excellency the Prime Minister?"
"Your Majesty, my ship has spotted another ship bombing the Prime Minister's ship while sailing at sea."
Upon hearing Jiang Tian's words, Charles IX immediately believed him.
After all, that's what the guards who were brought back from Bismarck said.
"Your Excellency, how is it now?"
“It seems he’s been captured.” Jiang Tian said, pulling a pocket watch from his pocket. “This should be the relic left behind by the Prime Minister.”
"Could you tell me in detail what exactly happened that day? I will never allow my prime minister to be beaten like this, nor will I allow anyone to ride roughshod over us."
"Your Majesty, this is what happened..." Jiang Tian immediately began to fabricate a story.
In short, he embellished the events of that day, describing them as quite thrilling.
Charles IX was utterly shocked upon hearing this.
He never expected that Chancellor Bismarck would encounter such a thing before being arrested.
"Sir, who do you think arrested our people?"
Jiang Tian shook his head.
“Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, I am merely a merchant from afar, and I am not familiar with the countries of your Europa region.”
I don't know who did this.
At that time, a thick fog blanketed the sea.
"However, I can vaguely make out that the flags flying on the enemy's warships are red lion flags."
After hearing what was said today, Charles IX understood after a little thought.
The one flying the lion flag must be the Duke of Buckingham.
This guy has always thought of himself as the lion of Orobar.
"As expected of that beast Buckingham," Charles IX said, gesturing towards the palace.
Jiang Tian followed him into the palace.
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba followed closely behind, with two large tigers flanking them on either side.
To Jiang Tian's surprise, Charles IX did not stop Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba.
In Charles IX's view, it was perfectly normal for Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba to follow Jiang Tian.
They went straight to the conference room.
Once inside the palace, Jiang Tian realized just how big it was.
From a distance, this palace looks similar to the palace of the Frankish Kingdom.
But when they got nearby, Jiang Tian realized that this palace was more than twice the size of the Frankish palace.
Charles IX was far superior to Louis XIV.
Upon arriving at the palace conference room, everyone sat down.
The two tigers lay on either side of Jiang Tian.
"You say you are a friend of the Prime Minister. How did you two meet?"
“As I said, I’m a businessman, I came from the Great Xia Dynasty to do business.”
I wonder if the people of your Germanic Empire have ever bought porcelain and silk from us.
Zheng He's Baochuan had visited Europe several times before.
His porcelain, silk, and tea astonished everyone in Europe as soon as they arrived.
Not only the English Empire, but also the Frankish Kingdom.
Many people in the Germanic Empire also bought porcelain and silk.
That's when we met.
"But I'm sorry..." Jiang Tian sighed deeply, "The enemy's warships are simply too powerful; we have no way to fight them."
"The enemy sent several ships, each with dozens of cannons. Most of our ships were merchant vessels."
Although our ship has cannons, these cannons are only used for defense against pirates and are nowhere near as effective as the enemy's ships.
