1840 Indian Rebirth

Chapter 196 [Queen Victoria]

Ma Shao was not too surprised by this news, after all, this was his purpose.

The reason why he is so active in the UK is to gain access to high-level officials and the King of England, so as to gain support and help from the UK.

Now the plan is going well, and Victoria plans to meet the Indian scientist who came from afar.

So, a few days later, the horse whistle went to Buckingham Palace to meet Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert.

Since Victoria came to the throne, the royal family has moved from St. James's Palace to Buckingham Palace, and Buckingham Palace has thus become the official residence of the King.Of course, in name, St. James's Palace is still the most important royal palace.

Buckingham Palace at this time is not what it looks like in later generations, it is relatively simple, but judging from the aesthetics of the horse post, even the one that has been rebuilt and expanded several times in later generations is not magnificent.

The building he yearns for is a space station operating in the universe, or a supernatural creation built entirely by imagination in a virtual world, or even a complex and solid skyscraper made of reinforced concrete and CAD software.

Compared with these truly great buildings, although Buckingham Palace may be the most prosperous building he has seen in this life, it can be described as "rural" at best.

The interior decoration of Buckingham Palace is quite interesting, with all kinds of gold and silver artifacts, sculptures and paintings, and so on.

Horse whistle suits and leather shoes, led by the royal servants, walked through the palace.

"Indians, when you see Her Majesty the Queen, don't forget the etiquette I told you." The male servant in charge of leading the way turned his head and said again.

"Of course." Horse whistle nodded.He didn't need to be reminded by others, he had studied court etiquette in advance.

"The court is like this, red tape." The servant obviously didn't like the many etiquettes he had repeatedly emphasized, and complained, "The salary here is not satisfactory... To be honest, I want to resign."

Ma Shao responded with a smile and didn't say anything, but he was a little surprised in his heart.The salaries of royal servants do not seem to be very high.

After a while, the servant led him to the butler, who then took him into the room where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were.

"Your Majesty, the Indian scientist you want to see is here," said the steward.

"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Royal Highness the Prince." Horse Whistle saluted, secretly looking at Victoria and Albert.

At this moment, sitting in front of him is the queen and husband of the British Empire, they are a young couple.

Different from the careful glance with the horse whistle, this couple, who are at the pinnacle of world power, are sitting on a higher place, wearing gorgeous robes, calmly looking at the exotic horse whistle.

"Hello, Indian." The queen smiled. "Please take a seat. We are very interested in your story and your amazing achievements in science."

"Thank you." The horse whistle immediately sat down.

Prince Albert asked: "As far as I know, you are from a tribe called the Apache, is that so?"

"Yes."

"Where is the Apache tribe?" Queen Victoria asked curiously.

"Apaches are widely distributed in the southwestern part of North America." Ma Shao said slowly, "However, in recent years, many people have moved into Sleeping Bear City to live concentratedly. In fact, we plan to build a city."

"Really?" The queen was a little surprised.

The horse whistle took out some photos: "I brought some photos of Sleeping Bear City, Your Majesty."

"Oh, these buildings look so interesting, and the clothes people wear." The Queen flipped through the photos, and couldn't help but be attracted by the sights of Sleeping Bear City.

"As far as America is concerned, this is a very good city." Prince Albert also looked at the photo and said, "I have to say that I am a little surprised. I would like to ask, when was it established?"

Having a topic, Ma Shao began to talk eloquently, narrating the development process of Sleeping Bear City with eloquence.

The so-called embellishment, of course, is to shape the glorious image of Apache, omitting all those flaws, embarrassment, cruelty and even ugly content, and emphasizing all kinds of beautiful, inspirational, high-spirited and enterprising things.

This can be regarded as a common method used by all human beings, but some people create something out of nothing and pretend to be a horse, while others keep some bottom line, or they are reserved, and only dare to take it out of context.

What Ma Shao is doing now is out of context. What he says is not a lie, but there must be a gap with the truth.

All in all, he portrays the story of Sleeping Bear as an epic.

However, compared with other similar narrations, this is actually not outrageous. After all, all of these were created by him as a time traveler, and they must be closer to epic than history.

With photos as evidence, his story is even more believable.In less than an hour, Queen Victoria was deeply attracted by Sleeping Bear.

"The story of Apache is really incredible. If Sleeping Bear City is not too far away, I really want to go there and see for myself!" the Queen couldn't help saying, almost like a girl yearning for fairy tales.

Prince Albert was a little skeptical, he kept looking at the photos given to him by the horse post, and asked questions from time to time.

"Is this your school?" He pointed to the building in the photo.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Horse Whistle replied, "I remember I was in math class when I took the photo."

Albert asked again: "What mathematics do you teach your people?"

Ma Shao: "There are classes at all levels, from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to "Elements of Geometry", and even some calculus. At first, I taught it alone, but now there are more than one teacher."

Prince Albert pondered for a moment: "Of course I know that you are an excellent scientist. Mr. Faraday is full of praise for you. In fact, I have read your papers. But I still have some doubts. Where did your knowledge come from?" Come? You seem to have said just now that you have lived in a tribe since childhood."

"Of course it is reading." Ma Shao said, "I have learned many languages, including those of aboriginal tribes and non-aboriginal people. With the help of these languages, I read various books and newspapers."

"Oh? Then, besides English, which foreign languages ​​are you proficient in?" Prince Albert's expression changed.

Ma Whistle: "Well... like Spanish, or Chinese."

"Do you still understand Chinese?" For Westerners, Chinese is undoubtedly the most incomprehensible mainstream language in the world.And it sounds so interesting to meet an Indian who understands Chinese in England.

"I understand a little bit." Ma Shao said modestly, and made up casually, "There are also Chinese in America. I met one by chance, and I learned some Chinese from him."

There are indeed Chinese in America.In fact, as early as a hundred years ago or even earlier, there were Chinese in the coastal areas and Southeast Asia who came to America because they joined the European fleet.

But so far, the number of Chinese in America is still very small. Ma Siao has not seen it with his own eyes, but only heard about it in books and newspapers.

After hearing this, Queen Victoria summoned the butler immediately, and ordered, "Go get my Chinese translator."

Happy National day.
