Spain's development, which had accelerated in the last century, is now hampered by instability.

In 1868, a coup d'état occurred in Spain, and Queen Isabella II was overthrown, succeeded by Amadeo I, and a constitutional monarchy was introduced. Later, there was a national unrest in Spain, and Amadeo I abdicated. The First Spanish Republic was established in 1873.

Later, the monarchy was re-established and Alfonso XII ascended to the throne.

In fact, the Kingdom of Spain, as an old empire, has a bad relationship with the two major European powers, Britain, France, and Germany and Austria.

This was also the reason why the Emperor had hope for the Kingdom of Spain, a country that could finally hope to establish a higher level of diplomatic relations.

"However, it is really infuriating for the Japanese to make such a statement that distorts the facts, Your Majesty, should we fight back first?" Princess Katrina Caaf is still haunted.

President Meng thought calmly for a few minutes, and said: "I can issue a statement, officially announcing that we do not plan to obey the British restrictions, this is one, and second, how to fight China to the Japanese mainland, to make a detailed explanation, I plan to use Spanish newspapers to talk about this matter, so, let's wait until I meet the Spanish king and prime minister." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Katrina Kafu nodded, "Is Gege still going?" ”

There is a reason why Princess Katrina Kafu asked like this, it was supposed to be such an important occasion, and Geeg Gege should naturally attend, but before Gege said that he didn't want to participate in this kind of dull political talks, and the Chinese Emperor agreed, so Princess Katrina Kafu would ask more.

President Meng said: "No need, banquet dance or something, and then call Jiegege, other times, there is no need." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, although Jiegege was already the queen of Huaguo, but in private, everyone still called Jiegege, but sometimes after speaking, they would feel funny.

President Moe and Princess Katrina Cafe, as well as five diplomats accompanying them, visited the Spanish Royal Palace.

Alfonso XII was handsome and dashing, and the information that Emperor Hua and Princess Katrina Cafu had received before that he was not very capable, 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, the Hua Emperor denied this impression, and it seems that similar to the situation of the Qing court, an empire has fallen, and whoever stays at the top of such an empire will look mediocre.

"Hello, Your Majesty." President Meng politely took the initiative to take the lead in greeting.

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

President Moe then greeted Antonio, the aging Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, and Princess Katrina Kaaf also greeted everyone, and the two sides took their seats.

The meeting was both formal and informal, as the two sides had not previously established high-level diplomatic relations.

During the entire half-hour meeting, President Moe did not mention the issue of China and Japan, but talked a lot about the situation of the Kingdom of Spain in various parts of the world.

Antonio, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, appreciates President Moe very much, and like all the politicians President Moe has seen before, Antonio can't help but be attracted by the demeanor of a nine-year-old politician.

Hua Huang really doesn't look like a child anymore, except that his appearance is too cute.

"There is no problem in the development of trade cooperation between the two sides, and in principle, we in Spain are 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 respond to the British order to leave the Japanese island of Kyushu within a certain period of time. ”

President Meng smiled: "I was about to make this request, and we have decided to formally reject the restrictions of the British, because their restrictions are unreasonable, and it is not their turn to intervene in Asian affairs, and I want to use Spanish newspapers to convey my views to the whole of Europe." ”

"I didn't expect China to dare to challenge British authority." The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, Antonio, nodded, looked at King Alfonso XII, and did not give his opinion.

Alfonso XII was also looking at Antonio.

President Meng wants to borrow Spanish newspapers, which is not a big deal, but if the Kingdom of Spain lets China use newspapers, it will appear to be on the side of China, so for the country, this matter is not small.

President Meng said indifferently: "If it's difficult, forget it." ”

Antonio nodded slightly to Alfonso XII, meaning to acquiesce in Huaguo's approach.

Alfonso XII immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with this, you can express your political views by being interviewed by Spanish journalists." ”

President Meng was secretly happy in his heart, this is similar to what he predicted before, and there is a way out for high-level cooperation with the Kingdom of Spain! It is true that the Kingdom of Spain is a special country that is outside the political system of the whole of Europe, which would have been an embarrassment for the old empire, but in the case of the Emperor Hua, it has become a good thing, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"You're welcome. It's the little things. Alfonso XII laughed.

In a friendly atmosphere, the two sides talked a few more words about trade issues, and President Meng vaguely expressed that he wanted to intervene in the ongoing Zulu War in Africa, the ongoing South Pacific War in the Americas, and the war between Britain and Afghanistan, all through arms sales.

Of course, the meaning of the Emperor Hua at this time is already obvious, because the Chinese navy is not good, and the sales in Africa and the Americas must be supported by the Kingdom of Spain, a country with a certain sea power!

However, the reason why Hua Huang didn't say it too clearly was that he didn't want to say death all at once and didn't give the two sides room for buffering.

Antonio, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Spain, was even more surprised after listening to the words of the Emperor Hua, he did not expect that Hua Guo was so bold that he dared to challenge the authority of the United Kingdom, not to mention, but also to dare to directly confront!

Of course, China has fought with the British army in China before, and the fact that China has won, has long been known to the world, otherwise, China would not have its current international status.

This is more sensitive, President Meng smiled slightly, "It's not early today, or I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
