[1254 Emperor Hua meets Alfonso XII]

Spain's development accelerated for a while in the last century, but now it is hindered by the instability of the situation.

In 1868, a coup occurred in Spain, and Queen Isabella II was overthrown, succeeded by Amadio I, and implemented a constitutional monarchy. Later, national turmoil occurred in Spain, and Amadio I abdicated. The First Republic of Spain was established in 1873.

Later, the monarchy was established again and Alfonso XII ascended the throne.

The reason why Emperor Hua regarded the Kingdom of Spain as a German-Austrian system before was actually just a very general view. In fact, as an old empire, the Kingdom of Spain has little relationship with the two major European forces, Britain, France, Germany and Austria.

This is also the reason why Emperor Hua had hope for the Kingdom of Spain, a country where China could finally have hope of establishing higher diplomatic relations.

"However, it is really infuriating that the Japanese make such a distorted statement. Your Majesty, should we fight back first?" Princess Katrina Kaif was still worried.

The cute president thought calmly for a few minutes and said, "You can issue a statement that officially announces that we do not intend to obey the British restriction orders. This is one of them. Secondly, how did the Chinese country be transferred to Japan, and give a detailed explanation. I plan to use Spanish newspapers to talk about this matter, so I'd better wait until I have met the Spanish king and the prime minister."

"Yes, your majesty." Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said, "Are you going?"

There is a reason why Princess Katrina Kaif asked this. It was originally an important occasion that Princess Jade should have attended. However, Princess Jade had said before that she did not want to participate in such dull political talks again, and Emperor Hua agreed, so Princess Katrina Kaif asked more questions.

President Meng said: "No need, for banquets, dances, or something, then call Princess Jie, no need at other times."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Although Princess Jie had long been the queen of China, in private, everyone still called Princess Jie, but sometimes after saying it, it would be fun.

The cute president, Princess Katrina Kaif, and five diplomats accompanied him visited the Spanish Palace together.

Alfonso XII was handsome and elegant. The information he received before by Emperor Hua and Princess Katrina Kaif was not very capable, but was a summary made by the Bureau of Statistics, so it gave people a preconceived impression that he was an embroidered pillow.

However, after meeting with Alfonso XII, Emperor Hua denied this impression, which seemed to be similar to the situation in the Qing court. If an empire declined, no matter who stayed at the highest position of such an empire, it would appear very mediocre.

"Hello, Your Majesty the King." The cute CEO took the initiative to greet him politely.

"Hello, Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Alfonso XII immediately returned the salute.

The cute president then greeted Antonio, the old Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, and Princess Catrina Kaif also greeted everyone, and then both sides took their seats.

This meeting was both a formal meeting and an informal meeting, because the two sides had not established high-level diplomatic relations before.

During the entire half-hour talks, President Meng did not mention the issues of China and Japan, but instead talked a lot about the situation of the Spanish Kingdom around the world.

Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain Antonio admires this very much. Like all the politicians that the cute president has met before, Antonio cannot help but be attracted by the demeanor of a nine-year-old politician.

Emperor Hua does not look like a child anymore, except for his cute appearance.

"There is no problem for both sides to develop trade cooperation. In principle, Spain is willing to develop friendly trade cooperation with any country in the world, especially a big country like China." Antonio asked: "I would like to ask how China will deal with the British restriction on China that it will leave Japan's Kyushu Island within a specified period."

The cute president smiled and said, "I was about to make this request, but we have decided to formally reject the British restriction because their restriction is unreasonable. It is not their turn to intervene in Asian affairs. And I want to use Spanish newspapers to convey my view to the whole of Europe."

"I didn't expect China to dare to challenge Britain's authority." Prime Minister Antonio of the Kingdom of Spain nodded and looked at King Alfonso XII, without expressing his own opinion.

Alfonso XII was also looking at Antonio.

It is not a big deal for the cute president to borrow Spanish newspapers, but if the Spanish Kingdom lets China use newspapers, it will appear to be on the side of China. Therefore, for the country, this matter is not small.

The cute president said calmly: "If you are embarrassed, forget it."

Antonio nodded slightly to Alfonso XII, meaning that he was acquiesced to China's approach.

Alfonso XII immediately said: "His Majesty Hua, there is no problem. You can express your political views by accepting interviews from Spanish journalists."

The cute CEO was secretly happy. This was similar to what he had predicted before. There was a way out for high-level cooperation with the Kingdom of Spain! The Kingdom of Spain was indeed a special country outside the entire European political system. This was originally an embarrassment of the old empire, but for the Emperor of China, this became a good thing, "Thank you, Your Majesty the King."

"You're welcome. This is a trivial matter." Alfonso XII smiled.

In a friendly atmosphere, the two sides talked about a few more trade issues. The cute president expressed his vaguely that he wanted to intervene in the ongoing Zulu War in Africa, the ongoing South Pacific War in America, and the war between Britain and Afghanistan, all intervened through the sale of arms.

Of course, when Emperor Hua proposed it at this time, the meaning was already very obvious, because the Chinese navy was not good, and the sales operations in Africa and the Americas must be supported by countries like the Kingdom of Spain that have certain maritime rights!

However, the reason why Emperor Hua did not say it too clearly is that he did not want to say death all at once and would not give both sides a buffer.

The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, Antonio was even more surprised after hearing the words of Emperor Hua. He did not expect that China was so brave that it dared to challenge the authority of Britain. This was not counting, but he dared to fight directly!

Selling arms is actually one level away from directly sending troops to fight. Of course, China has fought wars with British troops in China before, and China won, and the world has long known the news, otherwise China would not have its current international status.
