Ernst naturally couldn't tell his subordinates, "I am a time traveler, openly stating that the United States will clash with Spain..." such foolish words.
Ernst said, "Of course, we don't intend to offend Spain, after all, my relationship with the Spanish royal family is quite good."
The Heixinggen Royal Family had previously contributed greatly before Alfonso XII ascended the throne, so the relations between the two countries have always been very friendly. Of course, now that Alfonso XII has passed in November 1895, the King of Spain is his son, Alfonso XIII. The relationship between the two countries has not changed due to the change of kings, not to mention the connections between the two; the power of East Africa also warrants Spain's attention.
