Edward was made Duke of Cornwall at birth, and less than a month later the Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester. However, the historical Albert . Prince Edward, who was Prince of Wales for sixty years, did not become King of England until the death of Queen Victoria, King 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 Frederick's meeting. The funeral of William IV and the enthronement of William I. Britain showed no weakness and was going to send the crown prince to the Kingdom of Prussia. Both of them are equal in status and status. If there is any country in the world that can compete with Britain now, then it is only the Chinese Empire. Although Britain is the world hegemon, they can only influence the Western world. The East, on the other hand, was under the control of the Chinese Empire.

Imperial Crown Prince Long Warby Albert. Prince Edward was more than two years older. Many people call this meeting between the two as the collision of the heirs of the two great empires. However, who of the two heirs is better? Although they are still young, they can also see some clues.

The heirs of the two great empires were present at Frederick. The funeral of William IV and the enthronement of William I. This was undoubtedly a great honor for the Kingdom of Prussia. During this time, the self-esteem and self-confidence of those Prussians had increased like never before.

At the time when the Imperial Crown Prince was on his way to Prussia under the protection of the fleet. Delegates from other countries also began to set off for the Kingdom of Prussia. The representative of France was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Valewski. As the illegitimate son of Napoleon the Great and the cousin of the President of France, he is also impeccable in terms of identity and status. Russian Crown Prince Nikolai, a little guy who was just five years old, was also sent to the Kingdom of Prussia by Tsar Alexander II. The Russian Foreign Minister, Count Neschel Rodie, will do his best to assist this little boy.

Crown Prince Franz of the Austrian Empire. Joseph, who was also to go to Berlin on behalf of the Austrian Empire. Though. The Austrian Empire had just been defeated by the Kingdom of Prussia, however, the Kingdom of Prussia did not take advantage of the victory to blackmail the Austrian Empire. It did not weaken the Austrian Empire excessively, which made the Austrian Empire very satisfied, and the hatred for the Kingdom of Prussia was much less. Right now. The Austrian Empire was planning to combine the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary. Merging into a dualistic empire, which also needs to be supported by other countries.

Vittorio, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Sardinia, also represented the Kingdom of Sardinia, attended Frederick. Funeral of William IV. Not long ago, they had just teamed up to defeat the Austrian Empire. At the same time that the Kingdom of Prussia began to unify Italy, the Kingdom of Sardinia also began to unify Italy. Both countries have a common enemy and are more likely to cooperate with each other.

Crown Prince William of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Alexander. Paul Frederick. Ludvik. They will also travel to Berlin for this event.

Several major powers of the world. All sent the crown prince or the crown prince to Frederick. The funeral of William IV and the enthronement of William I made this time again known as the gathering of the crown princes.

Other European countries also sent important people to attend. For example, Queen Isabella II of Spain will attend in person, and King Leopold I of the Kingdom of Belgium will also bring his young daughter Mary. Princess Charlotte travels to Berlin. Of course, King Leopold I was only taking this opportunity to further consolidate his relations with the Chinese Empire. After losing the protection of France, in the face of the aggressive posture of the Dutch Kingdom, the only thing that the Kingdom of Belgium could rely on was the Chinese Empire on the other side of the continent.

On October 31, 1848, the main force of the 5th Fleet of the Imperial Navy joined the battleship 'King Wu of Zhou' off the coast of Spain. Imperial Foreign Minister Lin Zihao also met the Imperial Crown Prince Longhua on the battleship 'King Zhou', the flagship of the 5th Fleet. In addition, Queen Isabella II of Spain was escorted by the Spanish Navy to the Kingdom of Prussia. The fleets of the two countries are exactly acting together.

At this time, the imperial crown prince Long Hua's face was not very good. Being at sea for a long time, coupled with seasickness at the beginning, made Longhua's face pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"General Lu, how did you do it, how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become like this?" Foreign Minister Lin Zihao asked with a frown.

"Lord Lin, there's no way! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was boarding the ship for the first time, and the speed of the fleet was also very fast along the way, so His Royal Highness was seasick. However, it is now gradually starting to get better. Rear Admiral Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet, said. In order to be in a hurry, the speed of the imperial fleet has been maintained at 13 or 14 knots, such a high-speed voyage, for Longhua, who is still young and is still on board for the first time, it is naturally easy to get seasick.

Of course, Major General Lu Haipeng was still very satisfied with Prince Longhua's quick overcoming of seasickness. Anyway, Longhua's mother is the pirate leader of Flying Fish Island in the past! At that time, everyone was begging for a living at sea, coming and going in the wind and rain, what kind of treacherous sea conditions have not been encountered! Long Hua's father, Long Yufei, although he has not joined Flying Fish Island for a long time, has also followed the pirates to participate in operations many times, and he also did not get seasick. Therefore, Lu Haipeng is still very optimistic about Longhua. And that's exactly what happened, if the pirate's son would get seasick, that would be an exaggeration!

"Lord Lin, it's none of General Lu's business, the main thing is that my body is too weak. It seems that what my father said is right, I still want to strengthen my exercise! "Prince Longhua, looks like a little adult.

Lin Zihao nodded, Prince Longhua's appearance made him very satisfied. Although he is still young, his temperament and demeanor are worthy of the crown prince of a powerful empire. Moreover, the prince is still young, and his future plasticity is still very strong. Hone it slowly, and you will definitely become a generation of Ming Jun in the future.

Now, Emperor Long Yufei is only 38 years old. With Long Yufei's body, there is no problem at all if he lives for another twenty or thirty years. By that time, the crown prince Longhua had fully grown up, and there would be no problem in inheriting the empire.

"Lord Lin, this is my first time visiting another country, if there is anything I need to pay attention to, please teach me!" Long Hua said sincerely, he did not ignore these ministers because of his status as the crown prince. This is also the reason why Long Yufei insisted that he go to school with the children of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would be spoiled.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister will explain it to His Highness one by one." Lin Zihao hurriedly said. Since the prince wants to learn, then he is happy. Although the emperor Long Yufei did not hire a teacher specifically for the crown prince Longhua, he often found some learned people to make up for Longhua. To be able to become one of the teachers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lin Zihao is of course fortunate to have three lives.

Next, the two began to teach in the cabin. Lin Zihao will explain some precautions during the visit to Longhua one by one. Longhua is talented and learns quickly. Before you know it, it's already evening.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the cabin.

"Your Highness, Lord Lin, it's almost time for dinner. In addition, Her Majesty Queen Isabella II of Spain, hopes to be able to come to our ship. Major General Lu Haipeng said.

"Well, please come here!" Long Hua glanced at Lin Zihao, and then said.

Soon, Queen Isabella II of Spain boarded the battleship 'King Zhou'. This time, the Spanish Navy also sent the main force, a total of three 'Western Zhou-class' battleships and six 'Xia-class' cruisers to escort her to the Kingdom of Prussia. After merging with the Chinese fleet, the strength of this fleet is already very strong.

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

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

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

Subsequently, Rear Admiral Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet, took Queen Isabella II to visit the battleship 'King Zhou'. This time, the Dutch of the Kingdom of Spain ordered six 'Eastern Zhou-class' warships from the Empire. The construction of those battleships began as soon as the order was received. It would take a maximum of two years for those ships to be delivered to the Kingdom of Spain.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, your country's 'Eastern Zhou-class' battleships are really too powerful and majestic, even more powerful than the British's 'Nelson-class' battleships!" Queen Isabella II exclaimed sincerely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" Long Hua hurriedly said.

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

After visiting the battleship "King Zhouxu", everyone went to the restaurant on the battleship and enjoyed the dinner served on the battleship. Sailing on the sea, the food naturally can't be very good, it's all some rouge meat, and there are very few vegetables. In addition, the snack after the meal is canned fruit. This made Queen Isabella II very satisfied.

Queen Isabella II did not stay long on the battleship 'King Zhou', and after dinner, she returned to her ship. Her trip was just to show the closeness of the Kingdom of Spain and the Chinese Empire. Now, her purpose has been achieved. (To be continued......)
