Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

() Chapter 310 Finally accepted him

Next to him, Eugene, who was thinking about the conversation between Alfonso and Eugene just now, was also stunned, and led the guards to the surroundings of Alfonso with vigilant signals. It can protect Alfonso's deformity from any angle when a sudden attack occurs anytime and anywhere. ..:

"No, no, no, I really didn't know you would be the King of Spain just now. I didn't expect to meet you here, but after listening to your detailed grasp of these political details, I had doubts. Before I've seen your profile picture in the newspaper. Although it's not as handsome as your own, they still put in a good effort. The corners of the water chestnut are still clearly visible. Plus," he pointed to the side of Eugene. Several people: "With the size of these people and the expressions on their faces, you wouldn't know that they are the famous Royal Guards of Spain. They know everything, this should be Prime Minister Eugene of Spain, Because I have also seen your avatar, and your real person is even more admirable, because compared to that avatar, you obviously have more of the temperament of a prime minister."

Alfonso was shocked as he continued to express his evaluation of each person one after another. I didn't expect that this future great scientific pioneer would have such a side. It’s really unimaginable. Alfonso even felt a little delusional, but after seeing that Eugene, who was originally cold-faced, now softened his eyes and clearly had a good impression of Einstein, he had to accept it. . This is real. Alfonso could only sigh secretly in his heart: It turns out that after the true god stepped down from the altar to communicate with everyone, they were all the same bastards!

"Let's put the real question aside. Einstein, I don't know. What do you think of the conclusion you just made?"

Einstein hesitated for a while this time and did not answer as quickly as before, because now he realized that the person sitting next to him was no longer the person he thought was just an ordinary rich boy or He is the brother of a high-ranking official. But now one of the overlords of the world. A supreme king of Spain who holds the power to decide the lives and deaths of millions with just one order. This young king has a large number of fans all over the world. Even France, the United States and South American countries, which have always been unfriendly to the monarchy, have a very good impression of Alfonso. This is what the kings of other countries lack.

Such a king with morality, strength, grace, and age behind him sat next to him. If you still treat him as if nothing has happened, then you are either numb or you are neurotic. Otherwise it would never be like that.

But now he felt that his was normal. After thinking about loyalty, he suppressed some of the beating nervousness in his heart. He secretly glanced at Prime Minister Eugene who was standing next to him as if nothing had happened and was very graceful. He glanced at Alfonso again. When Einstein lamented that Alfonso, the king, had nothing to say about his demeanor, he said:

"Is what His Majesty said surprising?"

oh? Really? I don't want to ignore my words." Alfonso's calmness had the flavor of the moment before the storm. His tone was a little too calm, which made Einstein feel a sudden feeling in his heart.

He quickly said: "That's true, because when many people are thinking about the situation in front of them, His Majesty has indeed deduced the entire situation. This made me a little stunned, even greatly amazed. No matter what, I have to say that if these words are spread, it will definitely shock everyone in the world, especially Russia, France and the United States. Now I am thinking that Britain should be the calmest, and France is a little bit There is a hint of uneasiness, because now it seems very likely that the French government is promoting such a situation, and it is moving in the same direction, and the same is true for some people in the United States, especially those like Theodore Roosevelt. Regarding the existence of hard-liners in Spain, if we understand that there may be real and effective ideas in their minds to deal with Spain and put them into action, then the situation in the United States is likely to undergo a major change. indefinite.

Among these countries, the one with the most complicated mentality is undoubtedly the German Empire. If they knew about it, they would definitely be the happiest, because after years of suppression by Britain, France and Russia, they really need such a person to take a breather. The results will change the dreary diplomatic situation faced by the German Empire now. It can be said that if this deduction occurs, it is not known who will be the biggest beneficiary, but one of them is the German Empire. "Speaking of this, Einstein looked over.

Alfonso praised in cooperation: "Einstein, what you said is good, keep talking."

Einstein: "Spain's role in this can naturally be denied by any country. Spain will become one of the biggest winners because of this, because Spain is willing to let Britain and the German Empire gain even when the actual benefits are finally shared. For the most part, Spain is also the biggest winner secretly, because Spain has won a reputation, especially other small and medium-sized countries that absolutely recognize Spain's role in the world. Therefore, Spain has occupied the role of the world's best leader in one fell swoop. Of course, this refers to soft power, not military power like the German Empire and the United Kingdom.

Although the relationship between the German Empire and Britain will be somewhat relieved during this war, the deep-rooted contradictions are still there, and they still need more efforts to resolve them. If this If Spain carries out 'alternative' mediation, then Spain can return to its original status as a neutral third country. They all need to rely on Spain's mediation to relieve the pressure exerted on them by the other party. In this way, Spain can gain silently As long as Spain needs it, it can tighten the rope around their necks to make them nervous and reap some benefits. Of course, this requires His Majesty's discretion. After all, if it is tightened too tightly, it will be very dangerous.

It is not impossible that a huge change could backfire and lead to the two countries working together to deal with Spain. "

"Okay, very good, Einstein. I have to say that you are definitely one of my biggest surprises today, whether it's your kinetic achievements or my joy from afar or your unexpected diplomacy. Appeared, this surprised me a lot, so. I think. I feel like I just randomly built a stone on the road, and then I discovered that it turned out to be a big green gem with priceless price. You can say that you It absolutely blows my mind that Spain is now in the process of taking over as Foreign Secretary. If possible, I would like to have you as my nominee for the next Foreign Secretary. How do you feel about it, of course? . Before that, I think you should transfer your nationality.”

"What, you can't joke?" Einstein looked at Alfonso in disbelief. Alfonso's words shocked him into something he couldn't bear. Minister of Foreign Affairs, this position was simply too much for him. It shocked his soul. He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Among the many political giants in the Spanish cabinet, he was definitely ranked in the top three positions, second only to the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Interior, and the same as the Minister of Finance. level, even in many cases, the foreign minister obviously has more power. After all, the people are more concerned about the country's international influence, rather than economic policy. Of course, the period of national economic crisis is a different matter. Alfonso XIII actually said that he would give himself such a position. How much courage it takes to carry out this. What a bold measure this is. This made those friends in the past discuss time and countries. When he was the head of state, he made a comment about Alfonso XIII: being smart and capable makes him bolder and not tied to the process. He used to be a little unconvinced, but now after encountering such a situation in person, he He had to face the facts he saw with his own eyes, and he himself was completely moved. Even if he knew that the other person might not have a sincere and complete idea of ​​accepting this position in his heart, at the very least, he was still Giving yourself such a choice gives you the opportunity to be a candidate. This can no longer be said to be touching, but it can be said that the idea of ​​being grateful for being stabbed in the weak point of the heart, being suddenly rescued, and being treated as a close friend is even more grateful. Bole enjoys the idea of ​​a thousand-mile horse.

Alfonso felt a little proud. When he bribed someone, in addition to giving him tangible benefits in exchange for his half-truth and sincerity, he could also use spiritual potions to suit his wounds. To make him even more grateful, Alfonso actually attaches great importance to the position of foreign minister, although it seems to outsiders that the victory should be determined by talents and heroes. , in fact, from Alfonso's point of view, what matters more is his loyalty to him and his control over him. As for talents, in Alfonso's opinion, the first position he possesses is not ranked first. After all, Spain's foreign policy is now more formulated by Alfonso and Eugene, and if the next prime minister does not If anything goes wrong, it should be the conservative current Prime Minister Chavez. Chavez and Trini were enemies in the past, but they did not create any tension at work, so the two of them worked together very happily. Well, of course, Alfonso also knows that the main reason is that here, Spain's foreign policy and financial policies are almost all formulated by him. In this way, the two of you can choose the policy formulation freely. Much less.

And in this case, they are two people who are doing things under orders, so the conflict will naturally disappear. Things will happen when they formulate policies that the other party objects to. There is no fundamental contradiction. If it were in later generations, Alfonso should be careful, because at that time, Europe would never allow a policy to be released at will to change the direction of the country's development. If a king exists, in their view, this is the real dictator. Not even the two most powerful kings in the world, Britain and Japan. This shows how strict the system was at that time.

After Eugene listened to Alfonso's statement, he moved his mouth, trying to persuade His Majesty. After all, the position of Foreign Minister was too important, but he quickly stopped because of His Majesty's fierce words. His eyes were turned over, which made him really feel that he had better not talk too much. More importantly, he continued to feel that His Majesty was still the same as before, doing things in an orderly and orderly manner. Maybe , This is really like the major events His Majesty did in the past, and it can't be determined by his own plan. As soon as he thought about it, his worries turned into temptations. After a quick calculation, His Majesty will ask for the planned policy model of diplomatic management in the future. The main line is to follow and explore Einstein, the foreign minister who became a monk halfway.

But he hadn't started yet. The conversation between Einstein and Alfonso that followed really caught him off guard. At the same time, he smiled bitterly at the impulsive thought that he couldn't keep up with His Majesty and was too old.

"No, Your Majesty, I don't think I am suitable for this position."

"Why?" Alfonso asked quietly without knowing what he was thinking with his calm face.

"Einstein said frankly: "Although I admit that I have had such thoughts, I still know how much I weigh. I feel that this position is not suitable for me. Of course, Your Majesty should want me. I won’t object if I sit on it, but I’m afraid that Spanish citizens will kick me down before my butt gets warm, and make His Majesty’s face look ugly. This is something I don’t want to see even more, so , Your Majesty, I think I'd better continue to develop and study my dynamics. Hehe, besides, from the conversation just now, I feel that your Majesty's motives are very impure, and he is obviously not inviting me for my diplomatic wisdom. Mine, so I think it's better for me to refuse. After all, only in this way can we give this opportunity to people who need more talented people. As for, I think"

Second update, thank you Huanyue Wuchen for your reward, I really appreciate it!
