After agreeing with the British Government on the specific timing of the diplomatic visit, preparing for negotiations with the British Government became the top priority for the Spanish Government.
Although the current development of affairs was within the Spanish Government's expectations, this did not mean that the final result of the negotiations would align with those expectations.
As a fellow European country, Spain is well aware of the British Government's greed. For the British Empire, if it cannot gain more benefits, the British Government would never agree to the terms of exchanging colonies.
Spain hopes to obtain all of Britain's colonies in West Africa during the colonial exchange process, but this is not an easy feat to achieve.
However, the good news is that if Britain withdraws from the colonial competition in West Africa, only Spain and France will be left to colonize the area.
