Muyang's cabin is the most luxurious suite on the cruise ship, but the journey is lonely, fortunately, it won't take too long.
"Long live England, long live England."
"Long live France."
Muyang had just walked out of his cabin and was heading to the cruise ship's bar for a drink when he heard cheers erupting all over the ship.
"Why are people so happy? Is there something worth celebrating?" Mu Yang asked Elfr.
Elph originally served as the manager of Muyang, participating in the affairs of British pharmaceutical factories. This time, when coming to Spain, Muyang also brought Elph over. Elph has experience in pharmacy and some management experience, and can fully undertake the subsequent work.
Muyang promised, and his salary increased by 50%. This made Elfr willingly follow Muyang to Spain.
There's another interesting thing, Huang Yuming also came along. No mistake, it was that somewhat plump big sister of the Huang family.
Although he didn't have much contact with Elva, the two of them had been together since they started experimenting with drugs and slowly developed feelings for each other. Huang Yuming was very cheerful and Elva had a gentlemanly demeanor, so the two of them quickly became inseparable. Now Huang Yuming is already Elva's fiancée, their progress is really rapid, and Muyang also congratulated them.
Huang Yusheng has also formally accepted Mu Yang as his master and followed him over this time.
"I don't know, let me go ask."
Elfrid was gone for a short time, and then he came running back, his face full of joy. Before he even reached Mu Yang's side, he shouted loudly: "Mr. Williams, the war is over! We won! Germany has been defeated! Germany has surrendered!"
"The war is over, Germany has surrendered." Murong muttered.
He has been busy for a while and hasn't paid attention to the battlefield, now hearing this news, Muyang suddenly realized that today is November 11th, 1918, not the future's Fool's Day, but the day Germany surrendered.
The war is over and the world will enter a twenty-year period of stability.
Muyang smiled and said, "This is indeed a piece of good news, we should celebrate."
"There were already a lot of people celebrating in the bar," Elfr said.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go in together." Mu Yang said, leading the crowd into the bar.
It was a day worth celebrating, many people laughed and jumped, raised their glasses, whether familiar or not, both sides clinked glasses together, took a hearty drink, and then burst out laughing. Far away from war, it's worth celebrating well.
Upon arrival in Madrid, Spain, Muyang met with His Majesty King Alfonso XIII, who had been expecting him for a long time.
All the way, Mu Yang has seen the current situation in Spain. There are few pedestrians on the streets, and everyone who goes out wears a big mask, covering up all possible hiding places.
There was an interesting story during the Spanish flu, someone didn't wear a mask on the street, when taking the bus, he was blocked from getting on by people. This person insisted on getting on but was directly beaten up and thrown to the side of the road by the crowd.
The situation in Spain is even worse, with the entire country basically at a standstill, no school, no celebrations, shopping malls closed, factories shut down, and only two places bustling with activity: hospitals and cemeteries.
With a population of less than 20 million in Spain, nearly half have been infected and almost every household has lost someone to the disease. The horror is unimaginable.
"Baron Williams, I have finally waited for you. I hope the news you bring me is good. Spain is now suffering its most cruel torment and I am powerless to help."
Alfonso XIII was only 32 years old, but his melancholy face showed no smile, only anxiety and despair. The daily death reports had already made this once spirited young king lose confidence.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Before I came, I had already reached a cooperation agreement with the government. The pharmaceutical factory is being renovated and will start producing the medicine I developed to treat this plague in three days. I think you will see results within ten days."
"As for the cure rate, when I was in the UK, it was basically around 70% to 80%. I think many people can thus be freed from the torment of illness and even death." said Mu Yang.
After arriving in Madrid, the Spanish government's people received him. Mu Yang sincerely agreed and directly let the pharmaceutical factory start producing drugs. Specific things were handled by Elfu and Huang Yusheng. Mu Yang was not afraid of Spain's sudden change of heart, after all, the drug powder was still under his control.
"This is the most delightful thing I've heard in these days, the palace has prepared a luncheon, stay and have lunch with me. Now, let's go out for a walk, just so we can talk quietly." said Alfonso XIII.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Two people walked along the way and arrived at the lawn behind the palace, where a servant brought coffee.
"Williams, you know that the conditions you've proposed are too high, I really find it hard to agree with you. Now Spain's colonies only have Spanish Morocco, Spanish Sahara and Spanish Guinea in Africa left. Due to the influenza, Spain is already heavily indebted and can't bear any more burden. If I were to give these places to you, Congress would not agree. Besides, you wouldn't be able to manage them either."
"My idea is that you have made contributions to Spain, I grant you the title of marquis, and grant you a fiefdom, which will be large enough, what do you think."
Mu Yang remained unmoved and smiled, saying: "Where are you planning to bestow your favor?"
"León, Zamora, Cáceres, Fuerteventura Island you can choose one," Alfonso XIII thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Even Ibiza Island can be granted to you."
Before Muyang arrived, he had studied the land of Spain, León near the Cantabrian Mountains, Zamora and Cáceres close to Portugal, which is also a central region. The island of Fuerteventura in the Mediterranean west of Spain is a small island with an area of about 100 square kilometers, now desolate and uninhabited.
As for the Ibiza that Alfonso XIII mentioned, it is a great place with an area of 570 square kilometers. The place that made him famous is that there is the former residence of music master Chopin.
But Muyang was not satisfied, he thought it was still too small.
Mallorca Island.
When Moye said this name, Alfonso XIII had already opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect Moye to dare speak out.
Mallorca is very close to Ibiza and they can be said to be in the same location, only that Mallorca is larger, with an area of 3,600 square kilometers.
If everyone still doesn't have an intuitive impression of Mallorca, mentioning one name will probably make most people aware of it.
The city on the island of Mallorca is called Palma, that's right, it's the founding city of the football team Palma in Spanish football.
