Money can make the devil push the mill. This truth makes sense in any era and anywhere.

In a passive state, Emperor Hua increased diplomatic bribery to Europe, especially the strong and sub-strong countries in Germany and Austria, and widely made friends with the upper class aristocrats and ruling factions.

Emperor Hua was forced to do nothing, otherwise he would not have adopted this method. Diplomacy was not bought by buying it. This is a truth that everyone knows, but there is no doubt that bribing the upper class can change some things in the short term.

A few days later, some results were finally achieved.

The Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Kingdom of Greece, the Kingdom of Romania, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Kingdom of Italy where the Emperor of China is now. Public opinion in the upper class generally turned to China. Originally, these countries belonged to the German and Austrian system, and were inconsistent with Britain and France. If you can get benefits by talking, why not?

Therefore, after establishing ambassador-level diplomatic relations with these countries, Emperor Hua also achieved a good start in economic and cultural aspects. Small-scale exchanges are definitely within the popular range.

Among the many verbal guns, the most powerful one is Count Andrashi. Emperor Hua left a very good impression on Count Andrashi. Whether it was out of personal appreciation or the political status of China in the East, Count Andrashi felt that saying a few words for China would not have any losses to the Hungarian Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it was a good time to show good news.

In fact, Emperor Hua could secretly sell weapons to Africa and America through trade. However, because of China's foreign trade, its current initiative is not in its own hands. It is mostly through British and French merchants to start a business in China. They are all in a cooperative manner. It is difficult to secretly conduct military trade without being noticed by the UK. In this case, security is a big problem.

If the UK captures evidence that China intervenes in regional disputes through arms sales, it will easily cause China to fall into a passive situation in international public opinion. Emperor Hua pays great attention to international public opinion. Now China has been operating well in this area, especially after Emperor Hua proposed the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

Therefore, Emperor Hua can only find one to two major powers in the German and Austrian system, with the ability to explore globally!

The Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Spain can barely be considered such a great power, but the advantage of the Kingdom of Italy is in terms of industrial manufacturing. Since the reunification time has just ended, it has not been a few years, and there are insufficient foundations and there are no colonies outside. Therefore, even with powerful warships, it does not mean that the global influence can be enhanced by enhancing global influence.

The situation in the Kingdom of Spain is even more special. The Kingdom of Spain was once a global hegemon and could even dominate the entire European economy. However, 200 years ago, after the invincible fleet was wiped out, the Kingdom of Spain was basically the same as the Qing Dynasty. It had unrealistic daydreaming all day long, had unique geographical advantages, but could not transform, and even became a crane among the powerful Western Europeans. It is still a country that completed the industrial revolution. It is still just an agricultural power. This is funny. At the end of the 19th century, agricultural countries wanted to dance on the international stage, but could only dance zombie dance.

However, the Kingdom of Italy and Spain are the last straw for Emperor Hua. No matter what dance it is, the Kingdom of China is not even qualified to dance on the international stage. Therefore, if Emperor Hua can join these two newly emerging countries and the declining countries, it will be satisfied.

Although Hirofumi Ito was in Berlin, he was paying close attention to Emperor Hua's every move and sent special agents to follow Emperor Hua's whereabouts.

What is the level of the Statistics Bureau? The Statistics Bureau of China is now the world's number one secret agent organization and intelligence agency. This is not only related to the importance of Emperor Hua, but also to the strength of the Huacui Party. In the world, by country, China is not the most powerful.

However, from the perspective of political parties, the Huacui Party in China must be the most powerful party. Not only does it have the largest number of people, the Huacui Party is even more than the sum of all the political parties on the entire earth at this time. The most important thing is that the Huacui Party is a single party, extremely united, especially in the stage of growth and is dynamic.

After more than ten days, in early May 1879, Emperor Hua finally received a big reward for his daily patience in Rome. The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Francesco Crispi, agreed to receive Emperor Hua.

If we are in terms of power and reputation, Francesco Crispi, even above the monarchs of many small countries, can be regarded as the biggest politician that Emperor Hua has made since his trip to Europe.

Francisco Chrispi was a politician of the Kingdom of Italy. He was a believer of Mazzini in his early years. He was expelled from Sardinia and Naples for engaging in revolutionary activities. Later, he surrendered to the government and served as prime minister twice. He was the most radical colonialist.

Bismarck satirized him for having too much appetite and unfortunately having tooth decay on his mouth.

Francisco Crispi was born in Sicily. He studied law in his early years and went to Naples because he was disappointed with the local situation. When he was young, he was a enthusiastic republican believer. He advocated the republic and actively participated in the Sicily Revolutionary Movement in 1848. The uprising liberated Sicily. However, when Ferdinando II of the Bourbon dynasty of the two Sicily kingdoms occupied Sicily, he immediately went into exile to Turin as a journalist. He was exiled because he was suspected of participating in the Milan uprising in 1853 and then went to London to strengthen the republican leader Mazini.

He returned to the country in the War of Independence in 1859. Under the command of Garibaldi, he participated in the preparation of the "Thousand Expeditionary Force" to liberate Sicily and served as the Minister of the Interior. He accepted the monarchical meaning of Garibaldi's slogan "Victory of Italy and Imannur"; he belonged to the Kingdom of Italy as Garibaldi. However, he resigned due to conflict with Prime Minister Earl Gafur.

He was elected as a member of parliament in 1861 and made many enemies.

Later in 1865, he completely abandoned republicism and issued his famous statement in the Italian parliament: "Republicism divides us, and monarchy unites us." Hence, he parted ways with Mazinni.

In this statement he placed all other considerations entirely under his enthusiasm for unity.

During his first 20 years of working in Congress, Francesco Chrispi was an outstanding warrior who advocated liberal measures, but due to his extreme individualism, it was impossible to organize and lead a powerful left-wing party.

He was elected Speaker in 1876, and after visiting Germany in 1877, he advocated the Three Kingdoms Alliance. He occupied the most prominent position in Italian political life and served as chairman of the Council of Ministers.

Chrispi was domineering by nature, and when he had the opportunity to express this temperament at an important critical moment in his country's history without encountering great opposition, his democracy was stained with a strong Jacobin color.

In theory, he recognized the right to parliamentary state and people's autonomy, but in fact he placed his personal personality above constitutional rights and misinterpreted everything to realize people's governance as everything for the people.

His two governments represented a stage of political development in Italy, where democratic politics began to give way to dictatorship and autocratic systems. This trend was reflected in Chrispi's further vigorous realization of centralization, sacrificing legislative power to strengthen administration, and in his cruel suppression of the so-called Sicilian people's budding Italian socialism.

Like Mazinni, he had extreme hatred for the socialist movement. He believed that the socialist movement and barbarism, cruelty and egoism were synonymous, and he wanted to put him down.

Because he suspected that the Italian socialist movement was supported by France, he had no favorable feelings for the country for many reasons.

His policy of church was used alternately, on the one hand, because of his sympathy for the Freemasons and his hatred of France's forces in the Vatican, he adopted extreme anti-church policies, and on the other hand, he attempted to reconcile between politics and religion.

Chrispi's centralized thinking and his ideal of building a powerful country were deepened by his friendship with Bismarck, which combined him with expansionism and imperialism.

These groups had an influence at the end of the nineteenth century, and this influence was felt throughout Europe.

He had dreams of the power of Italy, and sometimes almost reached the point of arrogance. He advocated the establishment of a colonial empire, which was so large that it far exceeded the imagination and wisdom of contemporary people.

It is this arrogant fantasy that makes the money spent by the Emperor of China work. If you spend money politically, you can only bribe the quasi-front-line political forces of a country. Real big shots cannot bribe them with money. At the level of the prime minister and the king, the country is their own country. No matter how much money you spend, they must first judge from the perspective of the country.

However, when the number of quasi-front rulers was bribed enough, people kept suggesting to Umberto I and Francesco Crispi that China is a force that cannot be ignored in the East and should not be neglected, it became a natural thing to meet the Emperor of China.

The relationship between China and France was not good, which was one of the reasons why Umberto I was willing to interact with China. Umberto I was the son of Victor Emmanuel II. He was born in Turin and received a comprehensive military education. He participated in the war for the first time in the War against Austria in 1866. He was calm in the defeated Battle of Coustoza. He succeeded to the throne on January 9, 1879 because France sent troops to steal Tunisia, which caused Italy to be very dissatisfied.

The enemy is a friend, and for China and the Kingdom of Italy, it has a bit of this meaning.

The meeting between Emperor Hua and Francesco Crispi was also very formal, and was placed in the parliament building of the Kingdom of Italy. This was a very formal meeting. Emperor Hua originally wanted Wu Tingfang to attend on behalf of himself, but fortunately he came in person.

"Sorry, I have too many official duties some time ago. I neglected His Majesty and I only got time to meet today." The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy, Francesco Crispi, was not as unbearable as the German Prime Minister Mr. Bismarck described it to the outside world. He was still handsome.

Emperor Hua smiled slightly, knowing that this was just a false politeness, but it seemed that he didn't take it at all. He smiled and said, "I can understand that the Prime Minister is busy with official duties, and we were here on the spot."

Francesco Crispi looked at Emperor Hua curiously. A nine-year-old man, speaking freely and behaved elegantly, did not look like a child. If Emperor Hua's fat face could not be concealed, Francesco Crispi would almost think that Emperor Hua was just a short-skinned adult.

But Hua Huang's chubby face full of collagen was clearly just a child.

"Listen to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, His Majesty wants to establish a deep diplomatic relationship with my Kingdom of Italy, right?" Francisco Crispi asked. Previously, the diplomats of China had expressed their intention to increase trade cooperation and jointly carry out colonial trade under the instruction of the Emperor of China during their contacts with diplomats of the Kingdom of Italy.

The cute CEO likes the character of Francisco Crispi very much. Emperor Hua doesn't like people who are oblivious. Obviously, this old man belongs to the type of impatient personality, which is exactly the opposite of Bismarck and Li Hongzhang's character.

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister." Emperor Hua smiled indifferently, always neither humble nor arrogant, and had a decent attitude.
