Restart Spain Chapter 46

The Sioux's weapons are still on the way, but Alfonso's wedding date is approaching.

Compared with the last military parade, most of the people who came to the wedding this time were members of the royal family. In Spain, Alfonso's wedding was a big event, but in the eyes of foreign countries, it was not.

And the father-in-law, the Louis family, arrived in Madrid early, accompanied by a large number of servants and guards. After all, she is the only daughter of her family, and the level of attention is incomparable to outsiders.

Queen Maria, Princess Isabella, and the future Queen Hepburn, the three women sat together. Hepburn was the educated party and could only listen to the two of them obediently.

And Alfonso and Louis I, who had nothing to do, often get together to talk about mountains. This has nothing to do with vision, but is just speculation between friends.

After the arrival of the Louis family, the next came was William from Germany, which was later William II.

Alfonso XII was only two years apart in age from William II, and he was accompanied by the German minister Matt.

This grandson, who suffered from polio since childhood, received strict military training since he was a child in order to make up for his physical defects, and looked very strong.

"His Majesty Alfonso XII, happy wedding."

Wilhelm II carried a German stereotype, which may have been a major reason for his parents' troubles.

William II's mother was the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, and his father was Crown Prince Frederick of Germany, who was influenced by his wife. The German Crown Prince yearned for the sea, freedom and Britain.

Wilhelm II, on the other hand, was a traditional Prussian soldier, and was deeply loved by William I and the old-fashioned pro-Russian faction. However, the vigorous development of the navy after he ascended the throne still shows his yearning for the sea.

"His Royal Highness William, I'm only two years older than you, there's no need to be cautious when speaking to my peers."

Alfonso said with a smile, he really likes this future German emperor who vigorously develops the navy. After all, the rise of the German navy will attract strong attention from the British.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have heard of you in Germany, and I should learn from you."

William II said that this Alfonso, who had already achieved great things at a young age, had a good sense.

"William, sit down, I think we can have a good chat. If nothing else happens, Europe will be the era of our generation."

Alfonso said with a smile, expressing the importance he attached to William in his words.

"William, in such a high position, the pressure is self-evident, and you will definitely face the same situation as us in the future."

Alfonso pretended to have a headache and sighed.

"I don't know, Your Majesty, where should Spain go in the future?"

William II asked, this question is a bit abrupt, but it is not a big deal to ask in such a private meeting.

"It must be overseas. There are too many powerful countries on the European continent. There are also vast lands in America, Africa and Asia that can be conquered and utilized.

In Europe, Spain's neighbors are not so easy to mess with. "

Alfonso did not shy away from this issue. Spain is a colonial power, and its overseas expansion policy will not cause any ripples.

"Of course, this is a development route that is only suitable for Spain. After you ascend to the throne, I think you will also forget about sleeping and eating for Germany's way out."

"It's true that times are changing, but it's too early to mention that I'm on the throne, it's a matter of the future."

William II looked at Alfonso strangely. Although his grandfather was old, his father was not very old. Why did he keep talking about his accession to the throne?

Alfonso naturally wouldn't say that your father died after only a hundred days, and then made you the last German emperor.

"After the turmoil in the past few decades, if it weren't for the blood transfusions of the colonies, Spain is probably just a small and unknown country now."

Alfonso sighed and quietly raised the importance of the colony.

"Spain is a century-old country after all, and Europe will not let it fall."

William II said that William II, who was deeply influenced by his parents, actually had a natural yearning for the ocean, and the British fleet was always so shocking in his heart.

Alfonso's seemingly unintentional remarks directly explained the importance of colonies, while Bismarck was not interested in colonization, but concentrated on solving European problems.

Alfonso just wanted to deepen William II's yearning for the ocean. Only when he came to power would the British's sword be pointed at them, and European countries would become the targets of the British.

The conversation between the two was very short, but sometimes a person's unintentional words can make a person remember for a long time, which is very likely to be the case with the current William II.

However, an Asian with an entourage came to Madrid, who was Guo Songtao, the first Chinese envoy to foreign countries.

Since there is no official embassy between China and West China, he had to find a place to live this time, but the news of his visit has not been known to the Spanish government so far.

Not necessarily, he had no choice but to find the British embassy first and ask for help. Although the British did not catch a cold, after all, the two countries established diplomatic relations, and the news was passed on to the Spanish government.

In the end, the news of the arrival of China came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Alfonso step by step.

When he saw the Chinese envoy, it could be said that he still felt sadness in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this time I have come to congratulate the king on his happy day by the emperor's order."

Guo Songtao spoke in a familiar language ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The translator was about to speak when he was interrupted by Alfonso's wave.

"Hello, Your Excellency Ambassador, you are welcome."

Alfonso spoke fluent Chinese, and Guo Songtao suddenly raised his head in shock.

"I'm very happy with your presence. I've always liked Huaguo very much, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Fluent Chinese continued to blurt out, and continued to refresh Guo Songtao's cognition.

A monarch of a powerful European country can actually speak fluent Chinese, and also said that he likes Chinese culture.

"Your Majesty, this is the first time I heard someone speak their native language in a foreign country. I was a little excited and laughed at Your Majesty."

Guo Songtao stood up. He finally made a huge discovery abroad. The king of Xiyi could speak Chinese and said that he liked China. This is simply incredible.

If one of the European powers has a favorable impression of China, it will definitely be a great thing for the country.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your love for our country. I am also very interested in your country's culture and admire your army."

Actually, Guo Songtao had never cared about Spain before. After all, he was only an inconspicuous one among the great powers, but today he knew that he would definitely like it.

"There is an old saying in your country that it is great to have friends from afar. I think this is how I feel when I see your Excellency the Ambassador."

Alfonso continued to show off, and the Spaniards next to him were stunned. They never knew that His Majesty was actually interested in this.

They looked at the excited Guo Songtao, and secretly raised his importance a little in their hearts...

"Your Majesty's understanding of Chinese, I am ashamed of myself..."

Guo Songtao admitted that he said something against his heart.
