ps: The third update is here, please subscribe, please give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!

The melodious music sounded, and in the dance floor, pairs of men and women hugged each other and danced gracefully... The Empire Emperor Long Yufei hugged the Spanish Queen Elizabeth II and danced with the music on the dance floor. Originally, Long Yufei, a technical mate, didn't know how to dance very much. However, after the founding of the Empire, he would regularly invite some Western envoys and the like, and Long Yufei gradually learned to dance. Of course, he didn't dance very well, he just knew how to dance. Compared with Queen Isabella II, it was much worse.

Queen Isabella II is only 15 years old now. Her appearance can only be considered average, but her identity makes her the most noble woman in this kingdom. Of course, Long Yufei, who is already an uncle, has no interest in this queen who is only in her teens. If she is a beauty, he might have considered it. Therefore, this song is just a polite.

"Your Majesty, I really envy you and your country. The Chinese Empire has only been in the founding world for less than ten years, but it has defeated the British many times. The entire east of the world is under the glory of the Chinese Empire." Queen Isabella II looked at Long Yufei with envy. Long Yufei's success and the rise of the Chinese Empire have long been well known to Europe. This is completely a biography novel for ordinary people. Many Westerners have regarded Long Yu as a person.

Fei regarded him as a hero in the novel. Especially those girls who were in love with spring, they regarded Long Yufei as the prince in their minds. Although this prince looked different from their expectations, the identity of an emperor in a powerful empire could still make those idiots pounce on Long Yufei's arms like moths to fire. If Long Yufei was willing, he probably just hooked his fingers and wanted to climb onto his bed. The woman who wanted to climb onto his bed could form an infantry brigade.

"Her Majesty the Queen, the Kingdom of Spain is also a great country. It was the former Kingdom of Spain and the world overlord. However, the British defeated the Kingdom of Spain with despicable methods and deprived everything that belonged to the Kingdom of Spain. I believe that one day in the future, the Kingdom of Spain can regain its glory!" Long Yufei said. Although Spain can only be regarded as a second-class power in Europe now, in the early days of the rise of the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Spain helped China a lot of industrial equipment. A large number of industrial equipment were purchased from other European countries through the Spanish. The spokesperson of the Kingdom of Spain was still very responsible.

"Your Majesty, is the Chinese Empire willing to help the Spanish Kingdom so that the Spanish Kingdom can restore its former glory?" Queen Isabella II looked at Long Yufei with a longing look. As the queen of the Spanish Kingdom, although she is young, she still hopes to lead the Spanish Kingdom and recreate its original glory. Of course, the world is different now than four hundred years ago. It is not easy for the Spanish Kingdom to become a world-class power again. However, if the Chinese Empire helps it, it will be different. Even if it cannot become the world overlord, with the support of the Chinese Empire, it will be no problem. This also satisfy Queen Isabella II.

"Of course, Her Majesty the Queen. The Chinese Empire is happy to see a powerful Spanish Kingdom. This is also very beneficial to the Chinese Empire!" Long Yufei said with a smile. The Chinese Empire is happy to see the Spanish Kingdom become stronger. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, the Spanish Kingdom continues to act as the spokesperson of the Chinese Empire and cannot escape the control of the Chinese Empire. Otherwise, the Chinese Empire would not have cultivated a ungrateful wolf for itself.

While Long Yufei was dancing with Queen Isabella II in his arms, the queen's husband Francisco I was offering great care to Long Yufei's concubine Amomi. However, he seemed to have not taken advantage of it. Amomi was not interested in Francisco I at all.

"Beautiful Princess, your beauty is enough to make the stars in the sky lose their color. I wonder if I have this honor, so I invite you to dance together." Francisco I bent down, stretched out his hand, and made an invitation move.

"I'm sorry, Prince, I'm not used to dancing with other men." Amomi shook his head. Although the Thai royal family has always advocated Western education, the Thai princesses are still very conservative. Especially after becoming the concubines of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Amomi was even more cautious in his words and actions, fearing that he would bring disaster to Thailand because of his improper behavior.

"God! Your Highness, is the Chinese Empire really an uncivilized country? Dancing is just a normal social activity. I think your husband is not so stingy. Look, isn't your husband dancing with Isabella now?" said Francisco I.

"Your Highness, in the East, men and women are different. Men can have several wives at the same time, while women can only be loyal to one husband for a lifetime." Amomi said stubbornly.

"Okay, Your Highness, I wish you a happy night!" Seeing that the hunting of beauty was not successful, Francisco I had to walk away in disappointment and choose other hunting targets. Although Amomi was an oriental, she was very beautiful and Francisco I fell in love with him as soon as he saw him. Originally, he thought that with his handsome appearance and elegant temperament, he might have a wonderful night with this imperial concubine from the Eastern power. But unexpectedly, this was the end. Of course, Francisco I was not a fool. He knew that Spain could gradually recover because of the support of the Chinese Empire. It was not because of his reasons that a rift occurred in the relationship between the Spanish Kingdom and the Chinese Empire. In that case, even the husband of the Spanish Kingdom, Queen Isabella II, would not be able to take it.

Of course, Francesco I was very envious and jealous of Long Yufei. The emperors of the East could justify their wives, but the West could not. Although they could have many lovers in private, there could only be one nominal wives.

A happy banquet was being held in the banquet hall of the palace. However, in a secret small room in the palace, there was another scene. The Chinese Empire Foreign Minister Lin Zihao was holding a secret meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister of Valencia and the Spanish Foreign Minister Jose de Salamanca.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, as the closest ally of the Chinese Empire, we hope to further deepen the cooperation with the Chinese Empire. Although Spain has recovered its national strength, there is still a big gap compared with the first-class powers in Europe. We need stronger military strength. The Spanish Kingdom hopes to obtain a complete set of army-style weapons production technology from the Chinese Empire to improve the strength of the Spanish Army. In terms of the naval, we need to order several "Western Zhou-class" warships from the Chinese Empire to defend the maritime trade channels between the Spanish Kingdom and the Chinese Empire." The Duke of Valencia said. With the recovery of the economic strength of the Spanish Kingdom, the high of the Spanish Kingdom

Officials are eager to restore the glory of the Spanish Kingdom in the past. To do all this, strong military strength is a necessary guarantee. However, the industrialization level of the Spanish Kingdom is very low, and it is impossible to compare with the European powers in military industry. They can produce rifles and small-caliber cannons at most. Some other weapons can only be purchased from outside. In addition, the "Western Zhou-class" warships of the Chinese Navy were also what the Spanish Kingdom hoped to get. Didn't the Spanish Kingdom become the world overlord by a powerful navy? Even though Spain has declined now, they knew that a strong navy was indispensable to improve the strength of the Spanish Kingdom.

"His Excellency Duke, we can sell some of the production technologies of the army to the Kingdom of Spain. However, the "Western Zhou-class" warships are the warships that the Imperial Navy just equipped, and are our trump card. The Empire has no plans to sell such warships yet." Lin Zihao shook his head. Although Long Yufei had agreed to sell the "Western Zhou-class" warships to the Kingdom of Spain, if the Spanish easily bought the "Western Zhou-class" warships, it would be too cheap for them. Besides, if that is the case, I would be embarrassed to offer a high price.

"His Excellency Minister, the trade between the Kingdom of Spain and the Chinese Empire has been threatened by the British. If the British Navy cut off the maritime access between our two countries, it will be a huge blow to both of us, and we cannot let this happen." Spanish Foreign Minister José de Salamanca said.

"The naval strength of the Spanish Kingdom is now not bad, especially the fleet consisting of twelve "Summer-class" cruisers. Even the British dare not underestimate it!" Lin Zihao said.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, the British are the world overlords after all, especially in Europe, and they have an absolute advantage at sea. Although the naval strength of the Kingdom of Spain has been greatly enhanced, it is still impossible to compete with the British. We need stronger warships." said the Duke of Valencia.

Lin Zihao nodded, his expression was a little embarrassed: "His Royal Duke, His Majesty the Emperor is worried that once the 'Western Zhou-class' warships are sold to the Kingdom of Spain, the British will soon learn some of the technologies of the 'Western Zhou-class' warships through despicable means. At that time, the British navy will become stronger, which will be very unfavorable for both of us!" (To be continued...)
