Meeting 743

The next day, Zhu Wencong arrived early with Jiuding staff, as well as the envoys from England and America, for official talks with Tsarist Russian authorities.

First up was the final delivery of Alaska, which the American government could not afford, so it was undertaken by private banks.

The details were handled by the staff, while Zhu Wencong was responsible for the establishment of the industrial system and investing in Tsarist Russia.

Prime Minister Gorchakov faced Zhu Wencong, who presumably had come to an agreement with His Majesty the Tsar the previous night, and now it was merely a formality.

Alexander II was somewhat excited; Lady Luck had finally smiled upon Tsarist Russia, heralding its own era of industrialization.

Watching England grow stronger and stronger, Alexander II despaired, with England always obstructing his every attempt to expand.
