Chapter 62: Banquet at the Berlin City Palace

The distance between Hamburg and Berlin is actually not far, about two hundred and thirty kilometers. If traveling by horse carriage, it might take more than ten hours.

Fortunately, at this time, automobiles had been invented, and although they had not been widely promoted for various reasons, they had become a new mode of luxury transportation favored by some aristocrats and wealthy people.

Although the current production of automobiles is not high, even if Europe and America combined, the annual production of cars is less than 10,000.

But as one of the most powerful industrial countries in the world, Germany not only has automobile production technology but is also one of the earliest countries to invent automobiles.

It is precisely because of this advantage that cars have become a more convenient means of transportation for German nobles. As a guest of William II, several brand new cars were specially prepared for Arthur on this trip to Berlin.
