Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Wei Xiaobao nodded calmly and replied, "Yes, that's right."

Yuan Chengzhi was still in extreme shock. He frowned and asked doubtfully, "But what is the origin of this Heaven and Earth Federation? Is it a country in our China?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled and patiently explained, "Uncle Yuan, that's not the case. Our Heaven and Earth Federation is not a single country, but a federation organization composed of many different countries and regions. Everyone worked together and helped each other to achieve the current situation."

Yuan Chengzhi interrupted: "Is this the same type of organization as the British Commonwealth?"

Wei Xiaobao was surprised and asked, "Uncle Yuan, I didn't expect you to know something about the Commonwealth!"

Yuan Chengzhi nodded slightly and answered with a deep look in his eyes: "Yes, the Commonwealth is a group formed by the British who united the dependent countries and regions under their colonial rule."

"Back then, they knew they couldn't conquer Brunei by force, so they sent messengers here repeatedly in an attempt to force Brunei to join the Commonwealth and become their vassal state."

"Humph, this is just wishful thinking! How can we, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, be willing to submit to these foreigners and degenerate? Such behavior is undoubtedly a great insult to our ancestors!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao was filled with righteous indignation and echoed loudly, "Master Yuan is absolutely right! As the saying goes, 'Those who are not of our race must have different hearts'! These Western barbarians have been trying to destroy China for a long time, and they have never stopped for a moment!"

Then, Wei Xiaobao continued to talk: "Although both the Tiandi Federation and the Commonwealth are composed of many countries and regions, there are essential differences between the two."

"Our Federation of Heaven and Earth is leading its member states to work together, develop together, and become stronger together; on the other hand, the Commonwealth of Nations is purely to provide convenience for Britain so that it can more efficiently exploit its colonized dependent countries and regions."

Hearing this, Yuan Chengzhi could not help but nod his head repeatedly, with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. He said gratefully: "Xiaobao, based on what you just said, you have pointed out the key shortcomings of the Commonwealth. I, your uncle, have thoroughly understood the reasons. Thank you so much!"

Wei Xiaobao quickly responded modestly: "Uncle Yuan, you are too kind. I didn't really help you at all."

At this moment, He Ti Shou, who was standing nearby, suddenly interrupted and said, "Master, let's hurry back to the palace. We don't want Sister Jiu to stay here and get cold in the sea breeze!"

After she reminded him, Yuan Chengzhi patted his head as if awakened from a dream, and replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, look at me so happy that I even forgot that we are still at sea."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and shouted to the officer beside him: "Pass my order down, have all the navy set sail immediately and return to the port at full speed!"

The Brunei Navy immediately sent out a flag signal to the Tiandi Army's South China Sea Fleet to welcome them into the port, and then turned around and returned to Brunei Port.

About an hour later, a grand and solemn welcome banquet officially kicked off in the royal palace of Brunei City.

This banquet was unprecedentedly grand, with many guests of different identities attending.

In addition to officials at all levels from Brunei and generals of the renowned South China Sea Fleet, there were also many guests from the distant European continent.

Among them were merchants and envoys from European powers such as Britain and France. Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, which were famous for their maritime trade, would not miss this event.

Today's Brunei is no longer the unknown small country of the past. It has made a stunning transformation and successfully built itself into an oriental international port that has attracted worldwide attention.

Its geographical location is unique, and it is located at a key node connecting Europe, China and Northeast Asia, making it an important transit station for business and travel from all sides.

At the banquet, Mao Shiba was seen wearing a snow-white navy general's uniform. He was tall and mighty, like an unshakable mountain.

He walked slowly towards the main table with steady and powerful steps, holding an exquisite wine glass in his hand.

When he came to Yuan Chengzhi, he called out respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Yuan!"

Mao Shiba was about to say something when the eunuch next to Yuan Chengzhi shouted at him, "How dare you! You can't just call out His Majesty the King's name casually!"

However, before Mao Shiba could react, Yuan Chengzhi quickly raised his hand to stop the eunuch, and turned to Mao Shiba with a smile and said, "General, please don't be offended. It's because I don't discipline my subordinates well on weekdays, which is why they are so rude." After saying that, he cast an apologetic look at Mao Shiba.

Mao Shiba was startled when he saw this, but he quickly regained his composure, bowed deeply and respectfully, and then said:

"Your Majesty, you are the top master of the famous Huashan Sect, and you were once the chief of the Thirteen Provinces of China's Green Forest! Back then, your reputation was well-known and spread all over the country! I, Rou Shiba, have admired you ever since I can remember! It is a great honor to meet you today! I would like to offer a toast to Your Majesty and wish Your Majesty all the best!" After saying that, Mao Shiba raised the glass and was about to drink it all in one gulp to show his respect.

However, at this moment, a loud shout was heard: "Wait!" This sudden shout, like a bolt from the blue, abruptly interrupted Mao Shiba's toast that was about to be completed.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Westerner in a neat military uniform walking up to them. He was tall, blond, blue-eyed, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose, looking quite dignified.

The Westerner said in a slightly stiff Chinese language: "Are you the general of those ironclad ships on the sea?" There was a hint of questioning in his words.

Mao Shiba's face darkened instantly when he heard this. He put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced at the other party, and asked unhappily, "Who are you? How dare you interrupt my toast so rudely?"

The Westerner raised his head slightly and introduced himself: "I am Peter Van Persie, the military representative of the Dutch East India Company in Brunei."

Mao Shiba frowned slightly, looked up and down at the guy who called himself Peter Fanpeach, and asked coldly: "Oh? It's you. I wonder why you came here this time? Are you here to call me to task?"
