【1342 German's Welcome Specifications】

In three days, all matters were negotiated, and some specific issues were left to be done by the foreign secretary of the Emperor in conjunction with the foreign liaison organs of the Chinese State and the Dutch side, and the newly established foreign procurement agency put the liaison offices of the Netherlands and Spain together. Tomato - '-.-

Hua Huang left The Hague and went to Berlin.

King William III of the Netherlands once again brought King Emma to see off the Emperor of China.

"Thank you for your warm hospitality and your economic cooperation with China, and may the friendship between the two countries last forever." Hua Huang said high-sounding polite words.

King William III of the Netherlands said with a smile: "I also thank Hua Guo and the Chinese Emperor for their friendship to the Netherlands." Let the Dutch economy recover. ”

President Meng smiled slightly, "Promote each other." I hope that His Majesty the King and Queen Emma will visit China. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the invitation, we will seriously consider it." William III nodded.

"Your Majesty, I am really reluctant to leave after only coming for so many days, I like to listen to Your Majesty very much, and I hope that Your Majesty can live in the Netherlands for a few more days." Queen Emma reluctantly said to Emperor Hua, she is still very young, in her early twenties, and she is also very simple, not pretending, even Emperor Hua was a little moved.

Princess Katrina Kafu looked at Emperor Hua, and President Meng smiled at Queen Emma: "It's busy now, and if the situation allows, I also hope to stay longer." Welcome the queen to China as a guest, and when the time comes, I will keep you for a year. ”

Emperor Hua's words were playful, causing Queen Emma to giggle and laugh non-stop.

Geger, Princess Katrina Kaf, and Lee Tae-hee came to say goodbye to the king and queen of the Netherlands one by one, and the emperor and his entourage stepped on the train to Germany.

"Your Majesty seems reluctant? It seems that the Netherlands is more attractive to His Majesty than Spain? Well, because Queen Emma is more innocent and lovely than Queen Maria Cristina of Spain. Princess Katrina Kaf sat on the train and chuckled softly beside the Emperor.

President Meng sweated, "Who am I talking about?" Am I meeting someone I like? Besides, everyone is a married woman. ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty still likes married women, I knew earlier, I will find a husband first, and then I will be with Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kafu said with a smile in Hua Huang's ear.

President Moe Khan looked at Princess Katrina Kafu and pinched her waist, "You dare." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Princess Katrina Cafu smiled and dodged the little chubby paws of the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I don't think you need to worry too much about Germany's affairs, buying military supplies from Germany, this is doing business with them, they are desperate, isn't it easy to send money to people? I'm afraid that they will take the opportunity to raise the price, and I am afraid that they will make political demands and want to be our big brother. Princess Katrina Kafu said to President Moe.

"yes." President Moe also thinks so, thinking that this is the most important and the last step of the European trip, and I always feel a little uneasy.

Germany was in a period of confrontation between the nascent bourgeoisie and the Junker aristocracy, and because of the needs of Britain to challenge, there was an urgent need for new colonies at home, but at that time everything that should be divided was divided, Africa, North America, Central Asia, and South Asia were all mastered, and North America was too far away from Germany, and because it was really not easy to have Britain and France in the middle, and although the United States was very weak at that time, it was also a great power, and it was not easy to start.

After a few back and forth business, the Germans found that the market in China was very large, and in the hands of Li Hongzhang, Germany and the Qing government had dealt with each other many times, and they were all taking advantage.

Whether it is civilian or military, China is in great demand, especially when it was later found that China and Japan did not deal with each other, and Britain and Japan were allies, so according to international practice, the enemy's enemy was a friend, so it was a matter of course to sell weapons to the Qing court, plus Germany did need funds to maintain its huge shipbuilding program at that time, and hoped that through the sale of weapons, the Qing court could be tied to its own chariot, plus Britain was also courting China at that time, need means value.

In the war between the British and German shipbuilding games, the two countries had the same form, and the German navy had to face the problem that in the event of a naval war, the German naval forces had to deal with the possibility of war with the British.

Now the problem between the two sides, the problem between China and Germany, is that China is developing very fast, and it is already a sub-strong class, a rising capitalist country, and it is no longer a weak ancient country under the decadent rule of the Qing court.

China is strong enough, and this is a big problem for Germany to consider.

There is also the problem that China's foreign policy is tough enough to dare to single out the British and the French at the same time.

The second question is that Kaiser Wilhelm I and German Chancellor Bismarck both wanted and liked it, and they both wished that China would break out into war with Britain and France again, and the larger the war, the better! But they did not want to side with China as allies, which would make Germany's diplomatic situation difficult.

The main reason is that no one believes that Huaguo, which only completed its restructuring in 1877, is still an absolutely agricultural country, capable of surpassing the two major industrial powers of Britain and France, which is impossible.

Kaiser Wilhelm I and German Chancellor Bismarck obviously attached great importance to the Emperor's visit, and if the Emperor received the highest level of hospitality in the Netherlands, the level of welcome in Germany was even more than that!

When the special train prepared by King Wilhelm III of the Netherlands for the emperor entered Germany, local German officials held small welcoming ceremonies at each stop, and they had to meet at each stop, delaying at least half an hour.

"It can't go on like this, how many stops are there to go down to Berlin from here? The Germans don't know what to do with so many vain heads? "Doesn't it mean that the Germans are very strict in their work?" ”

Gege loves to play, but he doesn't like to meet officials or attend serious occasions.

Princess Katrina Kafu smiled, "There are more than thirty stations. ”

"Your Majesty, there are more than thirty stations? It would have been almost a day just for the reception, and it was almost time to catch up with the time spent on the road. Jie Gege said to President Moe.

Lee Tae-hee was also surprised: "There are so many stations? Germany is such a big country, so many cities? ”

Princess Katrina Kafu smiled and nodded, "Yes, although the German country is not big, not as big as one of our provinces, but the cities of the Germans are very average, densely populated, and everywhere. ”

President Moe never spoke, looking at the German scenery outside the window.

Wang Zhankui took a German officer to the carriage, "Your Majesty, this is the Kaiser's personal arrangement to protect His Majesty's safety, they said that there will never be such a thing as shooting at His Majesty the Emperor Hua in Germany, and he brought the Kaiser's greetings to His Majesty." ”

"Okay." Hua Huang smiled at the German imperial officers.

"Your Majesty, our Emperor has instructed us to ensure Your Majesty's safety and health, and to arrange Your Majesty's life and diet. We specially invited a few Chinese chefs in Germany. The official said.

The translator translated the German officer's German.

President Meng said to the translator: "Tell him that I don't have any requirements, we have our own chef, and I just hope to be able to arrange a meeting with His Majesty the Kaiser and Chancellor Bismarck as soon as possible." ”

The interpreter translated Hua Huang's words to the official, who nodded and said, "Okay." ”

President Moe smiled at Princess Katrina Kaaf and said, "It's trouble when I get to Germany, and I can't understand them directly." ”

"Who let Catherine go? However, with Timothy Lee present, His Majesty can let Timothy Lee take charge of the message. Princess Katrina Kafu said.

President Meng nodded, "Yes, I almost forgot, but the translator is still a translator, Timothy Lee is a high-ranking official after all, and it is not appropriate to act as a translator." ”

Ever since he and Catherine got there, Emperor Hua was still a little embarrassed to see Timothy Lee.
