Chapter 31 Does Congo have oil?

"Duke Constantine, I have learned about your request for the United States to support the Congolese Management Committee in managing the Congo River Basin. The US government will consider this request. You will get an accurate answer in two days," Chase said. Te stood up and said to Constantine.

This kind of diplomatic behavior between countries cannot be made by the president alone. It will definitely require consultation between his staff and government officials.

"Of course, I'll be waiting for your good news in New York."

Constantine was relieved to see that things were going smoothly.

He turned and walked out of the room, leaving President Chester alone.

Constantine, who walked to the hall, saw Sanford talking to Chris.

Chrissy looked happy when she saw Constantine appear, and she quickly pulled a girl dressed up and walked towards Constantine.

"Duke Constantine, is this your first time in the United States?" Chris and the young girl came to Constantine and asked kindly.

"Yes, ma'am, what are you doing?" Constantine looked puzzled, wondering what Chrissy was planning?

"Your Excellency, this is my daughter, Elena," Chris pointed at the girl and introduced.

"Elena, this is Duke Constantine from Greece. This is his first time in the United States and he is not familiar with the place. As the master, you should take care of him." Chris turned to Elena and said, her eyes constantly looking towards Elena gestured.

Constantine nodded to Elena, and Elena raised her skirt with both hands and bowed.

Seeing that the two of them knew each other, Chris quietly left.

The atmosphere became quiet for a while, and Constantine, who was confused about the situation, didn't know what to say to a young American girl he was meeting for the first time.

Mrs. Chris, who separated from the young man and woman, came to Sanford and asked: "Mr. Sanford, can you tell me about the origin of this Duke from Greece?"

"The Duke comes from the Greek royal family, his father is King George I of Greece and his mother is Her Majesty Olga, Queen of Greece," Sanford said.

"Ah, then he will inherit the throne in the future?" Mrs. Chris covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened in surprise.

"If there are no accidents, it should be," Sanford said.

"Then if they can really get married, Elena will become the queen of Greece in the future," Mrs. Chris murmured to herself.

This image came to mind: his daughter, wearing a golden crown inlaid with pearls and gems, wearing gorgeous clothes, walking on a red carpet. On both sides of the carpet were noble men and women who bowed and saluted with a respectful attitude.

Sanford couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chris's words. Chris's words were beyond his expectation. He thought that Mrs. Chris would retreat after hearing about Constantine's parentage. .

"Oops, I have this big news to tell Samuel."

After Mrs. Chris finished speaking, she hurriedly left, leaving Sanford dumbfounded.

As a government official serving as an ambassador in a European country, Sanford still knew something about aristocratic marriages in Europe.

European aristocrats, especially the royal family, pay special attention to each other's bloodline. The consequences of intermarriage between nobles and common people are very serious. If the wife of a king is a woman of commoner origin (not a noblewoman who is not a princess), his children will be Deprived of the right to inherit the throne.

Not only that, his children will also face an embarrassing situation in the marriage market and have no choice but to marry off.

In people's subconscious mind, the king's queen should be the princess of a certain country. The two parties with long blood and noble blood are united together to rule their subjects.

As for the fairy tale, the gray princess wearing a glass slipper met a prince who loved her deeply and lived happily ever after. This is indeed a romantic and imaginative love story.

But it is just a story. If it happened in reality, people should sympathize with Gray Princess because her future days will be dark.

Think about the Crown Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the original time and space. Because of intermarriage between nobles and common people, her wife Sophie was despised by the entire aristocratic circle in Vienna. In order to make her happier, he took her to Sarajevo for an inspection. As a result caused a disaster.

Constantine looked at the girl in front of him and didn't know what to say when faced with a girl whose name he only knew.

At this moment, the band began to play the classic tune, The Blue Danube.

"Can I invite you to dance?" In order to resolve the embarrassment, Constantine could only do this.

Elena readily agreed, and Constantine pulled Elena towards the more open carpet in the middle of the banquet hall.

Holding Elena's waist, the two danced gracefully to the rhythm of the music, sometimes slowly and sometimes rapidly.

Elena is undoubtedly a beauty. Her long golden hair is as thick as a waterfall, shining brightly and draped around Elena's shoulders.

Blue eyes as clear as clear spring water, a strong and small nose, delicate and white skin with red blood, slender eyebrows, and two gorgeous red lips.

After the song ended, the two came to the corner to rest, and met Sanford who was alone.

Elena saw Sanford, signaled to Constantine, and left with interest.

"Sanford, why did Mrs. Chris introduce his daughter to me?" Constantine asked Sanford, who still didn't know what was going on.

"Haha, Your Excellency, haven't you seen it yet? She wants to marry you," Sanford said.

"Ah?" Only then did Constantine understand why Chris was so enthusiastic and kept asking about his situation.

The feeling is that the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law.

Then I thought about it again and felt that it was really impossible for both parties.

He couldn't help but shook his head.

"By the way, how was your conversation with Mr. President about the Congo River Basin? What's his attitude?" Sanford said solemnly.

"President Chester's attitude is basically in favor, but he needs two days to think about it. I don't think it's a big problem," Constantine arrived.

"Mr. Constantine?"

The two turned around and saw Rockefeller walking towards them.

"I heard that the Governing Council you support will be given the authority to govern the Congo?" Rockefeller asked.

"Huh?" To be honest, after coming to the United States, apart from the three of them, Constantine also revealed the news about the Congo to President Chester just now. Isn't this spreading too fast?

"How do you say that?" Constantine really didn't understand what Rockefeller was asking about Congo. Did the oil tycoon still have the idea of ​​​​opening up a colony?

"Do you think there will be oil resources in the Congo?" Rockefeller asked.
