The seventh princess of the Bavarian Kingdom, Helmchud, although she is only sixteen years old, is already a complete little beauty. A person in his early sixties of one meter may not be much of a Western woman. But among Oriental women, it is no longer short. The blonde hair seems to radiate the kind of light and heat that the sun has. The high bridge of her nose, her big blue eyes, and her milky skin all support her beauty. Especially for the skin, Wang Yuze is very satisfied. The skin of Western women, many of which are rougher and have large pores, is not as delicate as that of Eastern women. However, in Helmchud, these flaws are not visible.

"Welcome to China, beautiful princess, from now on, this is your home!" Wang Yuze picked up one of the hands of the seventh princess Helmchud, put it on his lips and kissed it, and said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" As soon as Helmchud spoke, he was fluent. The pronunciation may be a little non-standard, but it is completely unambiguous. You must know that after it was confirmed that he would marry into China, Ludwig III, the Chinese ambassador to Germany, specially hired a middle school teacher for Helmchud, and studied for two hours a day. It took a year of perseverance to be able to have such results. The other children of Ludwig III also studied more or less. After all, they will be relatives with the Chinese royal family in the future, and it is always beneficial to learn some.

"Your Royal Highness, your gift for language. Surprise me! Wang Yuze exclaimed. Subsequently, he introduced Hailmchud to Empress Xiong Menghan and several other concubines. Queen Xiong Menghan and Helmchud have already met, but the other concubines are still meeting for the first time. Fortunately, Wang Yuze's harem has always been relatively harmonious, and everyone can get along happily. Wang Yuze's children are also very interested in this blonde and blue-eyed imperial concubine.

"Your Excellency. You are welcome to China, please rest assured, I will definitely be good to Helmchud! Wang Yuze assured Ludwig III. Ludwig III has not yet succeeded to the throne of the Kingdom of Bavaria, so Wang Yuze can only call him the Grand Duke. However, it is said that the regent of the Kingdom of Bavaria, Prince Lütpold. There was already an intention to abdicate early and pass the throne to Ludwig III.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we are very happy that Helmchud can be your wife. I'm sure you'll be a perfect match! Ludwig III said with a smile. For this son-in-law, he is also very satisfied. Especially after some time ago, the Chinese fleet helped the German fleet. It made the German Navy full of gratitude to China. And now, being able to marry the Chinese royal family is completely high for the Kingdom of Bavaria, which is only a state of Germany.

Afterwards. Wang Yuze also met with Ludwig III's wife and several children. In the end, it was the German Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich, the younger brother of Kaiser Wilhelm II, an old acquaintance.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, welcome to China!" Wang Yuze smiled and stretched out his hand.

"His Majesty the Emperor. Nice to see you again! "Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm was courteous. However, the kind of arrogance in his eyes. But it can't be hidden. Wang Yuze is not interested in this crown prince, in his impression, Crown Prince William, Gen is a cup figure. The crown prince, who was not yet twenty years old, was the eldest son of Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia, and his first wife, Princess Augusta Vertoria of Schleswig-Holstein-Zonderberg-Augustenburg. Crown Prince Wilhelm received a good education at an early age and received a military education at the age of 18 in Potsdam. As a young man, he kept in touch with a militaristic part of the German high officials. Shortly after the outbreak of World War I, in August 1914 he became commander-in-chief of Germany's Fifth Army, also known as the "Wilhelm Crown Army". Gained a little experience in commanding an army in battle. After Ardennes' victory, his reputation skyrocketed. However, with the defeat of Germany, on November 9, 1918, a revolution broke out in Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm II announced his abdication, and Crown Prince Wilhelm fled with members of the royal family to Dolon, the Netherlands. Since then, he has no chance to be on the throne until his death.

Like this kind of pride, it is inevitable that they will be stained with some arrogant and rigid problems. Therefore, Wang Yuze did not really want to deal with such people. Of course, it would be the most wonderful thing if such a person became an enemy. This means that they can be defeated very lightly.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the German Navy, I would like to express my gratitude to you once again. If it weren't for your help, our battleships would not have returned to Germany so easily! Prince Heinrich said sincerely.

"Your Royal Highness, this is as it should be. In the current world, it is no longer the time for the British to say the same, and in the face of the hegemony of the British, we have the ability to say nothing! Wang Yuze said with a smile. Helping Germany and letting Germany contain Britain in Europe is a major policy that China has already set. In this respect, helping Germany is tantamount to helping China.

It was Crown Prince William next to him, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. Although, the strength of the Chinese Navy made him very envious and even jealous. But in his opinion, the Chinese emperor was too unenterprising. If the German navy had such strength, I am afraid that it would have launched a decisive war against Britain to defeat Britain and replace Britain. Fortunately, the German Navy was already on the rise, and it wouldn't be long before they were able to challenge the British Navy. As long as it can win, Germany will be able to take off. For the German Navy, Crown Prince Wilhelm is also full of confidence, and now in Germany, in addition to the 'Helgoland-class' battleships that are being built intensively, the German Navy's own design of the 'Kaiser-class' battleships has also begun to be built. For the 'Caesar-class' battleships, the Germans are very satisfied, and they think that the 'Caesar-class' battleships that integrate Germany's top advanced technology are definitely the top battleships in the world, even more powerful than the Chinese' 'Qin-class' battleships. As for the 'Han-class' battleships secretly built by the Chinese, although the specific parameters are not yet clear, Crown Prince William believes that there will not be much difference.

In the evening of the same day, Wang Yuze held a grand banquet in Xinhua Palace to welcome the arrival of the seventh princess, Hailmchud. Their wedding date has been set, May 10, which is a week later. The banquet was attended by the Empire's cabinet officials, military tycoons, business tycoons, and their families. Everyone expressed their sincere welcome to the guests from Germany.

"His Royal Highness Crown Prince Wilhelm and His Royal Highness Prince Heinrich, welcome to China!" Zhang Cheng, Minister of the Chinese Navy, came to Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Lord of the Admiralty!" For Zhang Cheng, the real power figure in China, one of the giants, Crown Prince Wilhelm and Prince Heinrich also showed enough respect. The strength of the Chinese Navy has now become the world's top.

"His Majesty the Emperor is busy greeting Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess and her family, so I volunteered to greet the two of you. I think we should have a common language! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. After the Fujian sailors were wiped out by the French during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he went to Germany to study for a period of time under the financial support of Wang Xiao, and he was fluent in German.

"Of course, in the construction and development of the Navy, we all have a common language!" Prince Heinrich said.

"That's good, or it would seem like we're a little slacking!" Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng said.

"Your Excellency, I have to admit that the palace of your country is larger and more magnificent than Sanssouci Palace. However, it seems that the background is not as good as Sanssouci Palace! Crown Prince William said.

"Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xinhua Palace has only been built for less than ten years. Sanssouci has a history of more than 100 years. If you want to see the background, the Forbidden City is not far from the Xinhua Palace. The Forbidden City is three hundred years old! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said. Sanssouci Palace, as a German imperial palace and the royal palace of the Prussian royal family before it, has a profound heritage, and naturally it is not comparable to the Xinhua Palace, which has just been built less than ten years ago.

"The Forbidden City? The place where the former Chinese emperors lived. I'm a little interested in that. However, I am most interested in the Chinese Navy. For example, the Chinese Navy's miraculous 'Han-class' battleship. A few years ago, China built the 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, which were epoch-making great battleships that made dozens of British battleships obsolete at once. I don't know what kind of surprise the 'Han-class' battleship will bring to you this time! China is also starting to build new 'Caesar-class' battleships, but I don't know which kind of battleship has more advantages compared with China's 'Caesar-class' battleships and your country's 'Han-class' battleships! Crown Prince William said with a smile on his face. It's just that the provocation in his words can be heard by even a fool.

'Humph!' Caesar-class battleships? Don't think we don't know, even if the 'Caesar-class' battleships are very good, they are only a little more powerful than the 'Qin-class' battleships, and even the comprehensive combat power is completely comparable. If you face the 'Han-class' battleship, even if the 'Caesar-class' battleship has one more main gun, it is definitely not the opponent of the 'Han-class' battleship! Navy Minister Zhang Cheng thought secretly.

"Your Royal Highness, when our 'Han-class' battleship is launched, you will know!" Zhang Cheng said.
