    Helmchud, the seventh princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria, is only sixteen years old, but she is already a little beauty.  (Baidu search) A height of over 1.6 meters may not be a big deal among Western women.  But among Eastern women, they are no longer considered short.  Her golden hair seemed to radiate the same light and heat that the sun possesses.  The high bridge of her nose, her big blue eyes, and her milk-white skin all conveyed her beauty.  Especially the skin, Wang Yuze is very satisfied.  The skin of Western women is often rough with enlarged pores and is not at all as delicate as that of Eastern women.  However, these flaws are not visible in Helmchud.

    "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, kissed it, and said softly.

    "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!" Helmtrud spoke fluent Chinese.  The pronunciation may still be a little non-standard, but it will not cause any ambiguity at all.  You know, after it was confirmed that he would marry in China, Ludwig III, through the Chinese ambassador to Germany, specially hired a Chinese teacher for Helmtrude, and he learned Chinese for two hours a day, which was unbeatable.  It took a year of persistence to achieve such results.  Ludwig III's other children also learned more or less Chinese.  After all, they will be relatives with the Chinese royal family in the future, and it will always be beneficial to learn some Chinese.

    "Your Royal Highness, your language talent surprises me!" Wang Yuze praised.  Later, he introduced Helmtrud to Queen Xiong Menghan and several other concubines.  Queen Xiong Menghan and Helmchud had already met before, but this was the first time for the other concubines.  Fortunately, Wang Yuze's harem has always been relatively harmonious, and everyone can get along with each other happily.  Wang Yuze's children are also very interested in this blond and blue-eyed imperial concubine.

    "Your Majesty the Grand Duke. Welcome to China. Please rest assured that I will treat Helmtrude well!" 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 Grand Duke.  However, it is said that Prince Liutpod, regent of the Kingdom of Bavaria.  Already intending to abdicate early and pass the throne to Ludwig III.

    "Your Majesty the Emperor, we are very happy that Helmtrude can become your wife. I believe that you will be a perfect couple!" Ludwig III said with a smile.  He is also very satisfied with this son-in-law.  Especially after the Chinese fleet helped the German fleet some time ago.  It made everyone in the German Navy feel grateful to China.  Now, being able to marry the Chinese royal family is already a high achievement for the Kingdom of Bavaria, which is just a state in Germany.

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

    ¡°His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Prince, welcome to China!¡± Wang Yuze smiled and extended his hand.

    "Your Majesty the Emperor. Nice to see you again!" Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm behaved politely.  However, the arrogance in his eyes.  But it can't be hidden.  Wang Yuze had no interest in the crown prince. In his impression, Crown Prince William was simply a worthless figure.  The Crown Prince, who is less than twenty years old, is the son of Wilhelm II, the German Emperor and King of Prussia, and his first wife, Princess August of Schleswig-Holstein-Zonderburg-Augustenburg.  Tower Victoria's eldest son.  Crown Prince William received a good education as a child and received military education in Potsdam when he was 18 years old.  When he was young, he kept in touch with some senior German officials who advocated militarism.  Shortly after the outbreak of the First World War, he became the commander-in-chief of the German Fifth Army in August 1914. The Fifth Army was also called "Crown Prince Wilhelm's Army".  Gained some experience in commanding an army in battle.  After his victory in the Ardennes, his reputation soared.  However, following Germany's defeat, a revolution broke out in Berlin on November 9, 1918. Kaiser Wilhelm II announced his abdication, and Crown Prince William fled to Toronto, the Netherlands, with members of the royal family.  From then on, he had no chance to take the throne until his death.

    A proud man like this will inevitably be arrogant and stubborn.  Therefore, Wang Yuze does 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 easily.

    "Your Majesty the Emperor, on behalf of the German Navy, I would like to express my gratitude to you once again. Without your help, our warships would not be able to return to Germany so easily.Country!  "Prince Heinrich said sincerely.

    "Your Highness, this is what it should be. In today's world, it is no longer time for the British to say one thing or another. In the face of British hegemony, we have the ability to say no!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  Helping Germany and letting Germany contain Britain in Europe is a major policy that China has already set.  From this perspective, helping Germany is equivalent to helping China.

    On the other hand, Crown Prince William next to him had a trace of disdain in his eyes.  Although, the power 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 it would have launched a decisive war against Britain, defeated Britain, and replaced Britain.  Fortunately, the German navy has risen rapidly, and it won't be long before they can challenge the British navy.  As long as it can win, Germany will be able to take off.  Crown Prince Wilhelm is also full of confidence in the German Navy. In addition to the 'Heligoland' class battleships that are being intensively built in Germany, the German Navy's own designed 'Kaiser class' battleships have also begun construction.  Everyone in Germany is very satisfied with the 'Caesar-class' battleships. They believe that the 'Caesar-class' battleships, which incorporate Germany's top advanced technology, are definitely the top-tier battleships in the world, even better than the Chinese 'Qin-class'.  'Battleships are more powerful.  As for the 'Han-class' battleship built secretly by the Chinese, although the specific parameters are not yet clear, Crown Prince William believes that it will not be too different.

    That night, Wang Yuze held a grand banquet in Xinhua Palace to welcome the seventh princess Helmchud.  Their wedding date has been set, May 10th, which is one week later.  Those attending the banquet were all the empire's important cabinet ministers, military giants, business tycoons and their families.  Everyone expressed a sincere welcome to the guests from Germany.

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

    "Hello, Lord Minister of the Navy!" For Zhang Cheng, a powerful figure in China and one of the giants, Crown Prince William and Prince Heinrich also expressed sufficient respect.  The current strength of the Chinese navy has suddenly become the world's top.

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

    "Of course, we all have a common language when it comes to naval construction and development!" Prince Heinrich said.

    "That's good, otherwise it will look like we are being a little negligent!" said Navy Minister Zhang Cheng.

    "Your Majesty the Lord of the Navy, I have to admit that your country's royal palace is larger and more gorgeous than Sanssouci Palace. However, the background seems not to be as good as Sanssouci Palace!" Crown Prince William said.

    "Of course, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Xinhua Palace was built less than ten years ago. Sansou Palace has a history of hundreds of years. If you want to see the background, not far from Xinhua Palace is the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City has a history of three hundred years!  "Navy Minister Zhang Cheng said.  Sanssouci Palace, as the German royal palace and the palace of the Prussian royal family before it, has a profound heritage. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Xinhua Palace, which was just built less than ten years ago.

    "The Forbidden City? Where the Chinese emperors lived in the past. I am a little interested in this. However, what I am most interested in is the Chinese Navy. For example, the Chinese Navy's legendary 'Han-class' battleship. A few years ago  , China built the 'Zhonghua Class' battleship. This epoch-making great battleship suddenly made dozens of British battleships obsolete. I don't know what this 'Han Class' battleship will bring to everyone.  What a surprise! Our country has also begun to build a new type of 'Caesar-class' battleship, but I don't know which type of battleship has more advantages compared with our country's 'Caesar-class' battleship and your country's 'Han-class' battleship!  "Crown Prince William said with a smile.  However, even a fool can hear the provocation in his words.

    "Hmph! A 'Caesar-class' battleship? Don't think we don't know. Even if the 'Caesar-class' battleship is very good, it is only a little more powerful than the 'Qin-class' battleship, and even the overall combat power is completely the same. If it is against  On board the 'Han-class' battleship, even if the 'Caesar-class' battleship has an extra main gun, it is definitely no match for the 'Han-class' battleship!" Zhang Cheng, the Navy Minister, thought secretly.

    ¡°Your Highness the Crown Prince, you will know when our ¡®Han-class¡¯ battleship is launched!¡± Zhang Cheng said.
