Chapter 207: I Want Majorca
Muyang's guest room is the most luxurious suite on the cruise ship, but the journey is lonely, but fortunately it won't take too long.⊙.
"Long live, long live Britain."
"Long live France."
Mu Yang had just walked out of the room and was about to go to the cruise bar to have a drink when he heard cheers coming from the ship.
"Why are people so happy? Is there anything to celebrate?" Mu Yang asked Elver.
Elver originally acted as Mu Yang's manager and participated in the British pharmaceutical factory. However, this time when he came to Spain, Mu Yang brought Elver over. Elver has experience in pharmaceuticals and some management experience, and is fully qualified for the next job.
Mu Yang may have promised, his salary increased by 50%, which made Elver willingly follow Mu Yang to Spain.
Another interesting thing, Huang Yuming also came with him. That's right, it was the somewhat plump eldest sister of the Huang family.
Although he didn't have much contact with Elver, the two of them had been together since they started experimenting with drugs and gradually became in love. Huang Yuming was very cheerful. Elver had a gentlemanly demeanor. The two of them were in love and soon hooked up. Now Huang Yuming is Elf's fiancée, and the progress is so fast. Mu Yang also blessed them.
Also, Huang Yusheng has officially become Muyang as his teacher, and he has followed him this time.
"I don't know, I'll ask."
After Elf went there for a short time, he ran back excitedly, his face full of joy, and before he could even walk to Mu Yang, he shouted loudly: "Mr. Williams, the war is over, we win, Germany is defeated, Germany surrenders."
"The war is over and Germany surrenders." Mu Yang murmured.
He has been busy for a while and has not paid attention to the battlefield. When he heard this news, Mu Yang suddenly realized that today was November 11, 1918. It was not Singles' Day in later generations, but the day when Germany suffered defeat and surrender.
World War I ends and the world will usher in a 20-year stable day.
Mu Yangzhan smiled, "What a news. We should celebrate."
“There are so many people in the bar that are already celebrating,” Elver said.
"What are you waiting for? Let's participate together." Mu Yang said and led everyone into the bar.
But it is a day worth celebrating. Many people laughed and raised their wine glasses, regardless of whether they knew each other or not. The two sides raised their glasses and drank them in a generous sip, and then looked at each other and laughed. Staying away from war, it is worth celebrating.
Arriving in Madrid, Spain, Muyang met His Majesty King Alfonso XIII who had been looking forward to him for a long time.
Along the way, Mu Yang had already seen the current situation in Spain. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and all the people who took to the streets brought big masks to cover up the hidden places.
There was an interesting story. During the flu period, someone went on the street without a mask. When he was riding a bus, he was stopped by people. The man refused to get on the bus, but he was beaten up by the crowd and left on the side of the road.
The situation in Spain is even worse. Basically, the whole country is in a state of stagnation, no schooling, no celebrations. Shopping malls are closed, factories are closed, and the only two lively places are hospitals and cemeteries.
Now Spain has less than 20 million people. Nearly half of them have been infected, and almost every family has died. The terrible degree can be imagined.
"Baron Williams, I finally wait for you. I hope you will bring me good news. Spain is suffering the most cruel torture. But I can't do anything."
Alfonso XIII was only 32 years old this year, but there was no smile on his melancholy face, only anxiety and depression. The daily death report has made this once energetic young king lose confidence.
"Yes, your majesty, I have reached a cooperation agreement with the government before I came. The pharmaceutical factory is being renovated and will start producing the drugs I developed to treat this plague in three days. I think you will see the results in ten days."
"As for the cure rate, when I was in the UK, I basically answered 70% or 80%. I think many people can stay away from the torture of illness and even from death because of this." Mu Yang replied.
After Mu Yang arrived in Madrid, the Spanish government received him. Mu Yang agreed sincerely and directly asked the pharmaceutical factory to start production of drugs. The specific matters were led by Elver and Huang Yusheng. Mu Yang was not afraid that Spain would go back on his word. After all, the medicine powder was still controlled by Mu Yang.
"This is the happiest thing I have heard these days. The palace has prepared a luncheon and stayed to have lunch with me. Now, let's go outside and we can have a quiet chat." Alfonso XIII said.
"Okay Your Majesty."
The two walked along the way to the lawn behind the palace, and a waiter brought coffee.
"Williams, you know, the conditions you put forward are too high. It's really hard for me to agree to you. Now the Spanish colonies are only Western Morocco, Western Sahara and Spanish Guinea. Now Spain is already overwhelmed by the flu. If I hand over these places to you, the Congress will not agree. Besides, you can't manage it."
"My thought is that you have made contributions to Spain, and I am granting you a marquis and a fief of you. Of course, this fief will be large enough, what do you think."
Mu Yang was unmoved and said with a smile: "Where are you going to give me a title?"
"You can choose one of Leon, Zamora, Cáceres, Formentera," Alfonso XIII thought about it for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Even Ibiza can be granted a title to you."
Before Muyang came, he had studied the land of Spain. Leon was near the Cantabrian Mountains, Zamora and Cáceres were close to Portugal, and it was also a hinterland area. Formentera was in the Mediterranean Sea west of Spain. It was a small island with an area of about 100 square kilometers. It is now deserted.
As for the Ibiza Island that Alfonso XIII finally mentioned, it was a good place with 570 square kilometers. What made him known was that there was the former residence of the music master Chopin.
But Mu Yang was not satisfied, he felt that he was still too young.
“Mallorca.”
After Mu Yang said this name, Alfonso's Thirteenth Emperor opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect Mu Yang to really dare to speak.
Speaking of which, Majorca is very close to Ibiza, and they can be said to be in the same position, but Majorca is the largest, with a maximum of 3,600 square kilometers.
If you still have no intuitive impression of Mallorca, and then say another name, most people probably have heard of it.
