Chapter 876 The Crown Prince Gathers

Prince Albert Edward is the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and the first heir to the British throne.&{}...{} Albert Edward was named Duke of Cornwall as soon as he was born. Less than a month later, he was named Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. However, Prince Albert Edward in history served as Prince of Wales for sixty years. It was not until Queen Victoria's death that he became King of England, Edward VII. At that time, he was already sixty years old!

The Chinese Empire sent the Crown Prince to visit the Kingdom of Prussia on behalf of the Empire to attend the funeral of Frederick William IV and the throne ceremony of William I. Britain was not outdone and would send the crown prince to the Kingdom of Prussia. The two had the same identity and status. If there is any country in the world that can compete with Britain now, then the only one is the Chinese Empire. Although Britain is the world hegemon, they can only influence the Western world. The East is under the control of the Chinese Empire.

The imperial crown prince Longhua is more than two years older than Prince Albert Edward. Many people call this encounter between the two heirs a collision between the two great empires. However, which of these two heirs is better? Although they are still young, some clues can be seen.

The heirs of the two great empires attended the funeral of Frederick William IV and the ascension of William IV. This was undoubtedly a great glory for the Kingdom of Prussia. Over the past period, the self-esteem and self-confidence of those Prussians have been unprecedentedly improved.

When the Crown Prince of the Empire went to Prussia under the protection of the fleet, representatives of other countries also began to set off to the Kingdom of Prussia. The representative of France was the Earl of Foreign Minister Valevsky. As the illegitimate son of Napoleon and the cousin of the French President, he was also impeccable in terms of identity and status. Russian Crown Prince Nicholas, a little guy who was just five years old, was also sent to the Kingdom of Prussia by Tsar Alexander II. The Earl of Russian Foreign Minister Nisserrodi will do his best to assist the little kid.

The crown prince of the Austrian Empire, Franz Joseph, will also represent the Austrian Empire to Berlin. Although the Austrian Empire was just defeated by the Prussian Kingdom, the Prussian Kingdom did not take advantage of the great victory to blackmail the Austrian Empire. It did not over-weak the Austrian Empire, which made the Austrian Empire very satisfied and the hatred for the Prussian Kingdom was much less. Now, the Austrian Empire is planning to merge the Austrian Empire and the Hungarian Kingdom into a dual-system empire, which also requires support from other countries.

Crown Prince Vittorio of the Kingdom of Sardinia also represented the Kingdom of Sardinia and attended the funeral of Frederick William IV. Not long ago, they had just cooperated and defeated the Austrian Empire. When the Kingdom of Prussia began to carry out the great cause of unification, the Kingdom of Sardinia also began to unify Italy. Both countries have common enemies and the possibility of mutual cooperation is greater.

Crown Prince William Alexander Paul Frederick Ludwik of the Netherlands Kingdom will also go to Berlin to participate in this grand event.

Several major powers in the world sent the crown prince or crown prince to attend the funeral of Frederick William IV and the ascension ceremony of William III, which made this time also called the crown prince party.

Other European countries also sent important figures to attend. For example, Queen Isabella II of Spain will attend in person, and King Leopold I of the Kingdom of Belgium will also go to Berlin with his young daughter, Princess Mary Charlotte. Of course, King Leopold I was just taking this opportunity to further consolidate his relationship with the Chinese Empire. After losing France's protection, facing the aggressive situation of the Kingdom of Dutch, the only thing the Kingdom of Belgium can rely on is the Chinese Empire on the other side of the mainland.

On October 31, 1848, the main force of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy met with the warship "King Wu of Zhou" outside Spain. The Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao also met the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua on the flagship "King Xi of Zhou" of the 5th Fleet. In addition, Spain's Queen Isabella II also headed to the Kingdom of Prussia under the escort of the Spanish Navy. The fleets of the two countries happened to act together.

At this time, the imperial crown prince Longhua looked very bad. He was on the sea for a long time and the initial seasickness made Longhua's face pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"General Lu, what did you do? Why did Your Highness the Crown Prince look like this?" Foreign Minister Lin Zihao asked with a frown.

"Mr. Lin, there's no way! This is the first time that the Prince's Highness boarded the ship. In addition, the fleet's speed is also very fast, so His Highness is seasick. However, it has gradually begun to improve." Major General Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet, said. In order to hurry up, the speed of the Imperial Fleet has been maintained at 13 knots or 14 knots. Such high-speed navigation is naturally prone to seasickness for Longhua, who is still young and is the first time to board the ship.

Of course, Major General Lu Haipeng was still very satisfied with Prince Longhua's quick seasickness. No matter what, Longhua's mother was the pirate leader of Feiyu Island in the past! At that time, everyone was making a living at the sea, and they went in the wind and rain. I had never encountered any dangerous sea conditions! Longhua's father Long Yufei, although he had not joined Feiyu Island for a long time, he followed the pirates to participate in the operation many times, and there was no seasickness. Therefore, Lu Haipeng was still optimistic about Longhua. This is the case. If the pirate's sons would be seasick, it would be too exaggerated!

"Mr. Lin, it's not about General Lu's business, it's mainly because my body is too weak. It seems that my father is right, and I want to strengthen my exercise!" Prince Longhua looked like a little adult.

Lin Zihao nodded, and the performance of Prince Longhua was also very satisfied. Although he was still young, the temperament and style he showed were worthy of the crown prince of a powerful empire. Moreover, the prince was still young and had strong plasticity in the future. After honing slowly, he would definitely become a wise king in the future.

Now, the imperial emperor Long Yufei is only 38 years old. With Long Yufei's physical fitness, there will be no problem in living for another twenty or thirty years. By then, the prince Longhua has already grown up completely and there will be no problem in inheriting the empire.

"Mr. Lin, this is my first time visiting another country. If you have anything to pay attention to, please teach me!" Long Hua said sincerely. He did not take these ministers seriously because of his identity as a prince. This is also the reason why Long Yufei insisted on letting him go to school with the children of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would definitely be spoiled.

"Your Highness, I will explain it to you one by one." Lin Zihao said quickly. Since the prince wants to learn, he is happy. Although the emperor of the empire, Long Yufei did not hire a teacher specifically for the prince Longhua, he often asked some knowledgeable people to make up for Longhua. Lin Zihao was of course lucky to be one of the teachers of His Royal Highness.

Next, the two started teaching in the cabin. Lin Zihao explained some precautions during the visit to Longhua one by one. Longhua was talented and learned very quickly. Before he knew it, it was already evening.

At this time, the door of the cabin was knocked.

"Your Highness, Lord Lin, it's time for dinner soon. In addition, His Majesty Queen Isabella II of Spain, I hope to come to our ship." Major General Lu Haipeng said.

"Well, please come over!" Longhua glanced at Lin Zihao and said.

Soon, Queen Isabella II of Spain boarded the warship "King of Zhou Xi". This time, the Spanish Navy also sent the main force, with a total of three "Western Zhou" warships and six "Xia" cruisers escorting her to the Kingdom of Prussia. After joining with the Chinese fleet, the strength of this fleet was already very strong.

"Her Majesty, good evening!" On the deck, Prince Longhua bowed politely to Queen Isabella II.

"Hello, Your Highness, Prince!" Queen Isabella II smiled.

Longhua's performance made Queen Isabella II secretly amazed her tongue, but looking at Longhua's appearance as a little adult, she felt more cute.

Subsequently, Major General Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet, took Queen Isabella II to visit the warship "King of Zhou Xi". This time, the Dutch king of Spain ordered six "Eastern Zhou-class" warships from the empire. Those warships had started construction as soon as they received the order. At most two years, those warships would be delivered to the Kingdom of Spain.

"Your Highness the Prince, your country's 'Eastern Zhou-class' warship is so majestic, even more powerful than the British 'Nelson-class' warship!" Queen Isabella II sincerely exclaimed.

"Thank you Her Majesty the Queen for your praise!" Long Hua said quickly.

"Her Majesty the Queen, your country will soon have such a warship." Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao added.

After visiting the warship "Zhou King Xi", everyone came to the restaurant on the warship and enjoyed the dinner provided on the warship. When sailing on the sea, the food was naturally impossible to be very good. They were all rouge meat and there were very few vegetables. In addition, the snacks after the meal were canned fruits, which made Queen Isabella II very satisfied.

Queen Isabella II did not stay on the warship "King of Zhou Xi". After dinner, she returned to her own warship. This trip was just to show the closeness of the Kingdom of Spain and the Chinese Empire. Now, her purpose has been achieved.
