Wang Shizhen packed her suitcase and checked it again. Then, she called the embassy staff to set off. Cars were a means of transportation that began to be used on a large scale in the Min dynasty. Needless to say, there were many repair shops in the cities of the Min dynasty. There was no lack of repair shops on the road. The repair staff could take a car to repair the car, and they could even send a tow truck to tow the broken cars away for repair.
But in Hungary, no one dared to challenge whether the technologically enhanced vehicles from the North American War could travel thousands of kilometers without any problems. Even if the vehicles did not break down, all the roads in Hungary were built without considering providing services for cars. This was completely different from the basic considerations of the construction of cities and roads in the Min dynasty.
The tickets had been bought. Wang Shizhen and her party were going to take the train to and from Hungary. When they arrived at their destination, they would choose to take a carriage. Just as Wang Shizhen and her party were about to drag the wheeled suitcase out of the gate, the messenger from Hungary arrived at the door. The invitation invited Wang Shizhen and her party to attend a banquet hosted by King Qianqian. It was signed by Queen Qianqian.
Wang Shizhen told the excited embassy staff, "Just say that I've left Budapest and can't attend the banquet."
"That won't do." The embassy staff immediately expressed strong opposition. "The messenger has already seen you. If you say that you've left Budapest, it will offend people. We're not in the Min dynasty. We're in Hungary. "
Wang Shizhen sneered at the diplomatic staff's behavior. If he wanted to attend the meeting, he could go himself. Why delay Wang Shizhen's trip to please Queen Qianqian? Although the train ticket could be refunded, there would be a handling fee. Wouldn't it hurt to waste the country's money?
"It really doesn't matter if I go or not." Wang Shizhen expressed her opinion.
"Why are you so sure?" The embassy staff asked.
"If those people really wanted something from me, they wouldn't just send this. Real nobles will not stop until they achieve their goals. Since they sent us an invitation so politely, we can give them a polite answer. That's enough. There's no need to let them say whatever they want. What's more … "Wang Shizhen couldn't continue. It was the fourth day since Queen Sissi had returned to Budapest. In the past few days, Wang Shizhen had also visited Budapest's Progressive Force. Wang Shizhen was very disappointed by their reaction.
The Marxist parties, the Charcoal Burners, those who aim to take power, or want the world to change and develop according to their ideas. In the absence of a distinctive direction, they picked up a Marxist flag and waved it. Whether it was in terms of their work or their conduct, there was really nothing special about those guys. Even with the kindest explanation, this group of people could only be called childish. Wang Shizhen hoped to complete the scheduled itinerary and investigation as soon as possible and send the latest news from Hungary back home as soon as possible. He did not know who had deceived His Majesty Vézé and made him think that Hungary was a soil for revolution.
The embassy comrade somewhat understood Wang Shizhen's words. "Comrade Wang Shizhen, you're saying that those nobles don't take you seriously. If they really wanted to invite you, they would have invited you over. "
Wang Shizhen nodded. He felt that the embassy comrade was finally enlightened, but he did not know if they could draw inferences about other cases from one case. He did not even know if the embassy comrade could maintain this standard of judgment. It could be seen that the elegant old lady had a lot of attraction to the embassy comrade, so much so that the embassy comrade strongly requested Wang Shizhen to stay one more day and attend the banquet before leaving.
Although he could not care less about what the Hungarians thought, Wang Shizhen's report could determine whether the Min dynasty would support the Hungarian revolution. And from the information Wang Shizhen had gathered so far, he had no interest in Hungary. But Wang Shizhen could not ignore what the Min dynasty comrade thought. He had to treat his comrade with the warmth of spring. Moreover, Wang Shizhen would be staying in Hungary for a period of time. It would be a stupid choice to offend his comrade. In the end, Wang Shizhen agreed to attend the banquet.
The scale of this banquet was not as big as the first welcoming banquet. Perhaps it was because the people who welcomed Queen Sissi had all been there before, there were not many people attending this time. Even the Hungarians themselves came less than a few days ago. Wang Shizhen silently hoped that the embassy comrade could see things clearly, or at least have some ambition. But when Queen Sissi appeared in a dress, Wang Shizhen felt that he could understand why so many people flocked to this old lady. She was tall, beautiful, slender, elegant, calm, and full of vitality. On the battlefield, such a woman would have a very bad ending. But in a peaceful life, such a woman could indeed be pleasing to the eyes and give people a sense of satisfaction.
"Comrade Wang Shizhen, don't you want to try and see the Queen's standpoint?" The embassy comrade looked at Queen Sissi and asked Wang Shizhen in a low voice.
"If the class antagonism could be resolved with kindness, Manchu Qing would probably still be alive and well," Wang Shizhen replied calmly.
The embassy comrade turned to look at Wang Mingshan and saw Wang Mingshan sipping from a glass of wine. After Wang Shizhen finished drinking, the embassy comrade said, "I heard that Queen Sissi is very concerned about the people. She wants to leave everything to those who were harmed by the Austro-Hungarian politics after her death."
"Hmph!" Wang Shizhen couldn't help but snort. Queen Sissi's image in his heart was even lower. But Wang Shizhen felt that he was being too subjective. He asked, "Is that true?"
"Of course. Many people in the aristocratic circle have heard her say such words. The aristocrats are very grateful, and the urban intellectuals in Hungary are even more impressed. "The embassy comrade quickly affirmed.
Wang Shizhen was not responsible for educating the diplomats in the embassy, and Wang Shizhen also felt that it was not a good thing to let the embassy comrade always be tense. Wang Shizhen himself felt that it was a very difficult long-term job to pretend to be very respectful to the Queen of Hungary, so he did not make the slightest move to criticize. But deep in his heart, Wang Shizhen had even less hope for the future of the Hungarian revolution. Revolution was not a treat, but the Hungarians seemed to be keen on treating.
As the banquet went on, time passed by minute by minute. Wang Shizhen looked at his watch. As long as he stayed up until seven o 'clock for dinner, he could leave first. Now, even if the sky was raining knives, Wang Shizhen would leave the next day. He was the type of person who would rush to the end of the day. If the Hungarian revolution was really going to fail, Wang Shizhen would complete the planned investigation as soon as possible and reply to the Military Governor Vaize as soon as possible. This was Wang Shizhen's choice.
Just when Wang Shizhen felt that his work for the banquet was about to be completed, the palace officials came to invite Wang Shizhen and the embassy comrade over. The two quickly followed the palace officials to the queen. The embassy comrade moved quickly because he was excited and agitated. Wang Shizhen did not dawdle because he wanted to go through the process as soon as possible.
Her Majesty the Queen was a very polite person. She also paid extra attention to the guests who came from afar. Wang Shizhen had no desire for the Queen, so he responded politely. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding. But women were women after all. Those who were the focus of attention received normal treatment from Wang Shizhen. The Queen could not help but chat with Wang Shizhen a little more.
"Your Majesty. Do you never raise your head to look at people? " Queen Sissi still remembered Wang Shizhen's comment about 'arrogance'. She was 172 centimeters tall barefoot, and 180 centimeters tall with high-heeled leather boots. She lowered her head to look at Wang Shizhen. The Queen wanted to see how the arrogant young man would answer.
"I'm used to it, so I don't want to change." Wang Shizhen answered in a relaxed manner. Even so, he still kept his eyes level and did not immediately look up at Her Majesty the Queen.
"You never look up to the buildings?" Wang Shizhen's behavior was unexpectedly to the Queen's liking.
"The buildings in Budapest that I've seen are beautiful. Just like this Buda Castle, it's a beautiful work of art. "Wang Shizhen shifted the topic from him to praising Hungary. It was not a problem to express his arrogance appropriately, but Wang Shizhen did not come to Hungary to show off his arrogance.
"I've been to China. I think the cities in China are beautiful too." Her Majesty the Queen was not one to make others unhappy.
"The main thing about our cities is that the roads are wide. There's a lot of space in the city design. There's plenty of greenery, and the overall look good. However, none of the buildings are as beautiful as those in Hungary and Austria. "Wang Shizhen frankly expressed his opinion.
The Queen was slightly stunned. What he said was correct, but the content was too masculine. It was not suitable for a woman to talk about small talk. Without waiting for the Queen's response, the male personnel next to the Queen became a little unhappy. Wang Shizhen's words were either arrogant or cold. Although it was not to the point of being rude, it definitely did not have that kind of reverence or sincere admiration. Therefore, one of the men next to him said unhappily, "If China is willing to invite European designers to China to participate in the design, the design problems can be solved immediately. However, China is ruthlessly suppressing Christians. I don't think you will invite European designers. At the same time, no European designers are willing to go to China. "
His words made the people around either look unhappy, or they could not help but want to laugh. Different stances and reactions were different. Wang Shizhen was not angry at all. The smile on his face was mixed with sarcasm that he did not even realize himself. The national song of Hungary, God Bless the Hungarians, said, "God bless Hungary, and the people are happy. Help us in times of trouble, and don't abandon us. The people have been through hell, and no one can compare to the disaster. All the sins of the past and the future have been redeemed. "
