Zhang Tie sat in the car and didn't get down, but looked at this Philip carefully, until now, he couldn't be sure if there was a prank that anyone was pranking here.
This tradition of public parody, which dates back almost before the Cataclysm, is a well-intentioned joke and prank in which many people are often brought to plausible reality or scenes by the pranksters, and the behavior of those who are teased in such scenes often makes some people who are hiding and watching laugh.
Zhang Tie had seen this kind of thing when he was reading a book, and he heard that it was very popular before the cataclysm, but in reality, he had never encountered it once, and Zhang Tie didn't know if there were such boring people in Jinhai City.
"I remind you that my time is precious, and if this is a joke, I hope it will end here, and the consequences of wasting my time may be serious," Zhang Tie told Philip directly in proficient and pure Xiber language.
For Zhang Tie's proficiency in Xibo, the bald driver who drove the taxi and Philip were slightly surprised, in this era, as a Chinese, there are too few people who can speak Xibo.
In this era, Mandarin was almost the standard diplomatic language of many countries, especially in the Xibe-speaking region, and on many occasions, fluent Mandarin became almost a symbol of nobility and status, which was the common language of the upper class.
"Sir, as a diplomat of the Empire, I do have reason to be ashamed of the shabby status quo of the Imperial Embassy, but there is a reason for all this, if you don't mind me delaying you for a few minutes, I can tell you the full reason why the Imperial Embassy has become such a current situation, this is a national tragedy, but I think that since your time is so precious, then, this topic, we can talk about it in the interval between you waiting for personal identification, what do you think?"
Zhang Tie looked at Philip's vegetable-looking face, reached out and threw ten silver coins to the bald driver, and then got out of the car, and when he took out the silver coins, Zhang Tie saw a gleam in Philip's eyes.
It's only ten silver coins, as for it, Zhang Tie sighed secretly, the current situation of this embassy looks even worse than he imagined, it is simply a strange level.
Seeing Zhang Tie get out of the car, Philip, the senior commercial counselor of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire's embassy in Jinyun Kingdom, took Zhang Tie into the embassy like a hotel boy, and this embassy was very similar to the office of those black intermediaries who lured outsiders near the railway station of Heiyan City.
"Why is your embassy so messy?"
asked Zhang Tie in Mandarin.
"Sir, it's a long story, since fifteen years ago, our embassy can no longer get a copper plate from the country, not only that, we also have to pay a certain amount of gold coins to the country every year, the previous embassy in the capital of Jinyun Kingdom was auctioned off seven years ago, we moved to Huaiyuan County, first in Yiyang City, and then to Stargazing City, and finally because it is cheap here, with the funding of a few well-meaning imperial merchants, we chose to settle here" Philip's face was as bitter as a sun-dried bitter melon.
"To be honest, maybe the places where the government-in-exile used to support the scene are a hundred times better than yours," Zhang Tie said unceremoniously.
"Who's to say it's not, the government-in-exile can at least gain a little sympathy, and like us, I'm embarrassed to call myself a diplomat if I leave here," Philip sighed.
Before saying these two words, Philip had already taken Zhang Tie to the upper floor of the embassy.
As if to increase the persuasiveness of this place, in the windows on both sides of the corridor upstairs of the embassy, there are all kinds of photos, documents, and archives that prove the identity of this embassy.
Zhang Tie saw the credentials of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire to Jin Yunguo from the glass windows of those cheap exhibits, and the seal of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire and the seal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were clearly visible on the national documents.
This opened Zhang Tie's eyes, if the liar can achieve this level, Zhang Tie feels that even if he is deceived, it is worth it, this is simply too fucking dedicated, even the national letter can be forged, just to cheat a few gold coins, it is rare for the liar to be able to do this part.
Growing so big, Zhang Tie has never seen such a high-level document.
Seeing Zhang Tie's interest in the national letter in the exhibition cabinet, Philip hurriedly introduced it next to him.
"In the past, there was actually a copy of the credentials submitted by the diplomatic department of Jinyun Kingdom to the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, and later under the solemn protests and representations of the diplomatic department of Jinyun Kingdom, we put away the credentials and handed them back to China, this credentials were brought by the new ambassador when he took office a few years ago, and it was not submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Jinyun Kingdom, so it was placed in the embassy, and no one cared about it anyway."
Just as Philip was introducing the national letter in the exhibition cabinet to Zhang Tie, there was a knock on the door next to him, and a man wearing a loose shirt, a belly, and a beard walked out of the room yawning.
Seeing Zhang Tie, the man blinked, and suddenly came to his senses, "Ha, Philip, is there any business coming to the door, then we can have a good meal tonight" Philip rubbed his face with his hands in embarrassment, and said to Zhang Tie, "Sir, please forgive me, let me introduce you, this is the military attache of the embassy, Colonel Gooch" "What about Bailey and Ali, aren't they standing guard outside, are they going to work as porters on the docks to make extra money" Colonel Gucci scolded and rubbed his stomach, "Oops, as soon as I smell those things below, my alcohol addiction comes back again, Philip, do you have any money, lend me a silver coin, I'll buy a bottle of wine to satisfy my cravings" Philip ignored this guy, and even turned a deaf ear to the words of borrowing money, he directly pulled Zhang Tie and left, "I'll take you to Ambassador Nikolai's office first, all the identification documents in the embassy are handled by Mr.
Nikolai himself, which is also the main source of funding for the embassy now."
Turning a corner from the corridor, Philip took Zhang Tie to the door of an office, knocked on the door, there was no movement inside, knocked on the door again, there was still no movement inside, and then Philip simply pushed the door open, walked in, and woke up a somewhat thin old man who was sleeping behind the desk, and after softly saying something in the old man's ear, the old man sat up all of a sudden, looking at Zhang Tie with bright eyes.
"Hello, I'm Nikolai, the ambassador of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire in Jinyun Kingdom, I heard Philip say that you want to apply for an identity document" From coming to this so-called embassy to the present, Zhang Tie has figured out the current situation of this embassy, this embassy sounds bullish, but in fact, it is a grass platform team, which is estimated to be no different from those third-rate small companies and black intermediaries.
Zhang Tie walked over, and the clever and thoughtful Philip hurriedly pulled a chair for Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie sat down, stretched out his hand, and a gold coin drew a beautiful arc and fell into Philip's hand, "Reward you" Philip grabbed the gold coin with lightning speed, and then put the gold coin into his pocket at once, and a flower was already smiling on his face, "Thank you, sir, your generosity really makes this place shine, and it is my honor to serve you."
Ambassador Nikolai's throat trembled, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and his thin body jumped from behind the desk with an agility that did not match his age, and came to Zhang Tie, bending over, and smiling enthusiastically, "Sir, please forgive me for my previous neglect, can I do anything for you?"
Zhang Tie cocked his legs, gently patted his thighs with his hands, and suddenly grasped the initiative, "Tell me first, what kind of identity certificate you can handle here?"
"We can apply for the official status card of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire here," Nikolai finished speaking, and then turned his head to Philip, and explained, "Go and pour a glass of water for this noble gentleman, and use the kind of good tea I have collected."
Philip went on a rampage.
"Is it one of those fake identity documents?"
"Really, if it is fake, it is definitely a real identity certificate, a legal identity certificate that can be passed unimpeded in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire."
Nikolai said excitedly, "This is the business of our embassy" "Even if I wasn't from the Holy Golden Orchid Empire before, it doesn't matter," Zhang Tie was surprised.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the Holy Golden Orchid Empire is an extremely open, multi-nationality country, anyone who wants to join the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, regardless of his race, faith, and original nationality, we welcome with both hands, just a little gold and a simple ceremony, we can quickly handle the identity procedures for you to become a national of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire" Damn, I really don't know if I don't see it, the world is really wonderful, Zhang Tie secretly laughed in his heart that he used to be a turtle, but he didn't expect that there was such a strange country in the Weiyi subcontinent, and what kind of false testimony was really weak compared to this embassy.
Philip carefully carried a steaming teacup over and put it on the coffee table in front of Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie only looked at a few small flaws on the edge of the white porcelain teacup and a few listless "good teas" floating like grass roots inside, and instantly lost his appetite.
"I'm suddenly a little interested in your country, tell me about the situation of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, such a country is really curious."
In the introduction of Nikolai and Philip, the situation about the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire gradually became clear in Zhang Tie's mind.
The Holy Golden Orchid Empire is a human country that appeared in the Weiyi subcontinent after the first Terran Holy War, this country, although it is not strong, but it can barely be regarded as a second-rate country on the mainland, its strength should not be underestimated, it has a population of more than 26 million, a land area of 6.8 million square kilometers, and the entire country also has dozens of cities, large and small, and is a member of the Weiyi Subcontinent Terran Central State Alliance.
There is only one reason why the current Sacred Golden Orchid Empire has fallen into such a strange situation, and that is that this country has an extremely strange king, Haige VII.
What will become of the end result of an often whimsical dreamer becoming emperor is the best illustration of what the Divine Golden Orchid Empire has to offer today.
Hai Ge VII ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, and the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to take out half of the money from the treasury of the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire and gather strange people from all over the world to whimsically want to build a magical and strange flying machine that could compete with the supersonic flight ability invented by humans before the cataclysm In the vision of Haige VII, in addition to being able to have a speed far exceeding that of an airship of this era, this flying machine can also be transformed into a powerful robot warrior on the ground, attacking cities and destroying everything.
Sea Song VII dreamed of forming the only Gundam unit of this era in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
The word Gundam was said by Haige VII himself, as for what it means, until now, no one can understand, anyway, in Haige VII's mouth, as long as the Holy Golden Orchid Empire has such an army, then it will be easy for the empire to dominate the world.

Hai Ge VII's dream shocked everyone, and his dedication to his dream tossed the treasury of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire completely in just two years.
It is said that the reason why Haige VII was so crazy about flying and forming that strange Gundam unit was that he had seen several military books before the cataclysm in the imperial royal library, as for what those military books were, few people knew, anyway, the royal library of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire had a million books, but there were very few people who could actually enter it.
This dream of building an airplane by Sea Song VII turned into a terrible bottomless pit.
This bottomless pit not only sucked the wealth of the Divine Golden Orchid Empire into it like flowing water, but also made the crazy Haige VII come up with an even crazier idea when he was in financial distress.
Haige VII was not only a crazy dreamer, but also a kind old man, and in the second year of his ascension to the throne, he tried his best to abolish the death penalty of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire.
In the third year of his reign, after personally inspecting a drought-stricken area of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, he abolished several taxes that the Empire had been leviing on the common people, and wrote the words "never raise taxes" into the Empire's sacred legal code.
Done something that no one in the Divine Golden Orchid Empire had ever done.
In his fourth year on the throne, when he was twenty years old, he made an even crazier decision to ease the anger of the Imperial officials against him and to gain enough research and development to build the magical machine of his dreams.
As long as the officials of the Empire swear allegiance to the Imperial Family and never betray them, swear to abide by the Holy Law, and are willing to pay a large sum of money in a lump sum according to their specific duties, then, after signing an agreement and document, the position of Imperial official can become hereditary in the family, just like the imperial throne of the Empire, and even the Emperor of the Empire cannot be removed.
Officials large and small in the empire went crazy Countless hereditary positions were sold by Haige VII, and countless riches flowed into the imperial treasury, and then those riches that flowed into the imperial treasury smashed into the emperor's whimsical dreams The crazy dream of Hai Ge VII has lasted for ten years, and in the past ten years, the originally powerful Divine Golden Orchid Empire has been tossed almost insane by this neurological emperor, just when everyone thought that Hai Ge VII could be a little normal and give up his terrible dream, Hai Ge VII had a new dream.
At this time, Hai Ge VII had just woken up from the dream of flying Gundam, and then plunged headlong into the vast sea of Chinese culture in the more extensive and profound Eastern Continent, and heard that there was a magical secret boxing method in the Eastern Continent, which could make people defeat the power of a thousand catties with the strength of four taels, and defeat the strong with the weak, and when both men and women of all ages could learn, Hai Ge VII was excited, and then he took a large number of followers, left everything in the Sacred Golden Orchid Empire, and ran to the Eastern Continent in an airship Hai Ge VII dreamed of bringing back this magical boxing technique, and then let the men, women and children of the Divine Golden Orchid Empire learn it, and at that time, the Divine Golden Orchid Empire could also dominate the world with tens of millions of people who had mastered this boxing technique.
Haige VII has been gone for twelve years.
Twelve years later, Hai Ge VII returned, and the Divine Golden Orchid Empire at this time, after running without an emperor for twelve years, no longer needed an emperor.
After some painful experience, Hai Ge VII finally woke up, had an epiphany, and was detached What Gundam, what Divine Fist, what power, at this moment, the clouds are clear, and Haige VII discovers that only light and love are the eternal truth of the universe.
"As long as we have light and love in our hearts, one day in the future, the demons will be touched by our selfless love, I want to build the Holy Golden Orchid Empire into a heavenly kingdom on earth, a country full of love and light, as long as there is love and light in their hearts, they are all citizens of the Holy Golden Orchid Empire" This is the heroic declaration of Haige VII on his fortieth birthday, "full of selfless love".
As of this year, Haige VII is fifty-eight years old, and after more than forty years of his reign in the Holy Golden Orchid Empire, the entire Holy Golden Orchid Empire has reached this day, except for the capital of the empire, Osri, which is still in the hands of the imperial family of the empire, so that the imperial family retains the last place of perch, the empire has not disintegrated and collapsed, which is really a miracle.
The entire Osley's taxes, under the desperate resistance of other royal members, were finally not diverted by the crazy emperor for other purposes, and were used to carry out the great cause of "light and love" that could influence the demons, and those money, except for barely maintaining the daily expenses of the royal guards and the palace of more than 20,000 people guarding Osri, were already stretched.
"Originally, the position of the foreign minister of the empire was a chicken rib without oil and water, and it has not been favored, but after this position was bought out by the Hillary family, it was found that the oil and water in it is still very large, at least after all the real estate of the empire's embassies and consulates in various countries was sold, the Hillary family bought out the investment of the imperial foreign minister, and all of them were recovered" When Nikolai said this, his tone was full of envy, and that expression was completely how he regretted why he didn't expect to do this.
Zhang Tie was really dumbfounded when he heard it, a wonderful emperor has created a strange country, Nima, this kind of thing is there The role of the disconnected Emperor Haige VII is performed by the friendship of the five pillows brothers:
