Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 101 The Prince of Siam

"The reports from the British are good, but they have carefully considered our plans and those of other countries," Economy and Finance Minister Chavez lamented, "Especially when it comes to our empire's influence on other countries." Regarding trade and economic policies, even I have to admire his vision."

"I think he has a better political vision. Don't forget, he is very knowledgeable about the strategic issues of various countries. He is worthy of being the dean of the Institute of Political Science. He knows one thing and understands everything."

"I think he is a talented person in the economic field."

"I think you are a diplomat."

"Trini, are you specifically trying to argue with me?"

"So what"

"I'm sorry. According to His Majesty, finances need to be conserved, so today the finances need to be tightened. Sorry, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be our focus." Chavez's plump face looked so cute. But it seems so evil to Trini now.

"You're cruel, huh!" Trini must have known that he was going to suffer from the words "fiscal austerity", and sure enough, this guy still used this trick again. He even complained a little to His Majesty, "Well, why should we carry out austerity policy? Since he proposed a few days ago that the government must carry out fiscal austerity to coordinate the normal operation of the government in order to reduce the tax burden on farmers, then, regarding those When the Zhengfu organization needed to reduce its staff, there was a wave of heated discussions. As a man with financial power, Chavez became a hot toast in the eyes of everyone, making his period in Trini's eyes. Infinite majesty. It's a pity that this was his patent at the beginning, but now he has become Chavez. Of course he feels unhappy. Therefore, it has become commonplace for the two of them to bicker from time to time, and today is no surprise.

The important departments of the Spanish government are the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Regional Policy and Public Administration, and the Ministry of Culture and Education. These are the five most important departments in the Spanish government structure, and the Ministry of Interior Mainly responsible for coordinating the work of various departments. José, the Minister of the Interior, is actually the deputy to Eugene, the Spanish Prime Minister. The Minister of the Interior is someone who is directly appointed by the King, rather than being a cabinet formed by the Prime Minister like other ministers. Of course, they also need to be approved by the King, but unlike Jose, they are not directly promoted by the King. people.

Jose was already used to the quarrels between the two people, but when he saw Prime Minister Eugene's frown, he knew that it was time to bring up the business, instead of continuing like this, otherwise someone would It's going to be bad luck.

"Okay, you two don't have to argue anymore. I've already checked the news about the British side. In fact, this dean is just a shill for the British government. Don't you understand?" Jose looked at the two of them. Looking at the eyes staring at him, he said helplessly: "In other words, this may be the opinion of the British government. This dean may be endorsing the British government."

"Not bad." Eugene looked around at the three people present. Elena went to Barcelona for business today, while Les was running around for the school sports games of various universities in Spain. Today, the four of them are the most important figures in the Spanish government, and every move they make is related to Spain's national interests. Therefore, what they are discussing now should be carried out with great vigor, rather than just like this. Fortunately, he also understood that this was just a way for the two of them to pass their time.

"Your Majesty has opened a situation for us, and this situation is developing in the direction we want. I don't want us to mess up this good and favorable situation, Trini."

"Yes, please speak"

"The focus of your Ministry of Foreign Affairs during this period is to do a good job in the Middle East, including countries in the Middle East and ethnic countries outside the region that may change the situation. More contacts and analysis are required. I hope we can grasp Do you understand that we should follow the trend of the development of the situation instead of passively accepting what happens after it happens?"

"I will try my best"

"It's not about trying your best, but it's about doing it well."

"yes"

"Chavez?"

"Prime Minister, please give me your orders," Chavez responded quickly. He had seen Trini's ugly appearance, and he did not want to be scolded by the Prime Minister in the same way.

"Diplomacy is a matter of national importance. I hope you will not joke about such important matters when joking in the future. After all, if it is heard by citizens outside or recorded by the media for external publicity, our government's public image will be ruined." It is possible that you will be stained with huge stains. You know, this is very likely to happen, and this is also the thing that His Majesty is most disgusted with."

"I promise not to do it again," Chavez vowed righteously. Of course they know His Majesty's concerns. Your Majesty said that water can hold up a boat and water can overturn it. They, the government and members of the royal family, need to leave an image of being capable and working for the benefit of the people in front of the public, not the other way around. He still remembered His Majesty's serious expression very clearly.

"It's okay if it's not. This is one of the most important foundations related to whether Spain's future can continue to receive the support of the people. I don't want to repeat it again. Okay, let's continue with today's mini-cabinet meeting."

"Zheng Bao, you are becoming more and more like a Western royal family. If you don't look at people, I might think that you are from a Western royal family. Even many members of the royal family cannot match your talents. Hey, look at it now Come on, it was really a good decision to take you over."

"That is, I was very surprised by His Majesty's care for me. These years of living in Spain have made me feel the happiness of Western life. Hey, I really hope that we, the citizens of the Kingdom of Siam, can also get such a day. "

"There will be. Don't forget, Spain also came from that kind of life. It also went through the kind of life of your people. It was only after years of precipitation that it became what it is today. So I think there will be baking bread. , there will be mutton kebabs, and national life will also come, but this is just a missing opportunity."

"What's the opportunity?" Zheng Bao asked quickly, and the eagerness on his face showed how much he cared about this issue. It can also be seen from this how much he attaches importance to the lives of the citizens of his country.

Alfonso was amused. Although this kid has lived in Spain for so many years, he has now received applications from several famous Spanish and European universities, including the University of Madrid, and has been admitted. All graduated. Graduation certificates from several universities have been obtained. But when it comes to dealing with his own country, this guy still seems so immature. No, it should be that his emotions are exposed but he doesn't have deep feelings. But it’s no wonder that he started to come to Spain in 1894 when he was only 14 years old. It has been 14 years now. Over the years, the time he has lived in Siam is not even as long as one semester in school. How can he not live in Siam for one semester? I feel so nostalgic.

"Many Asian countries now need to carry out reforms to make the country prosperous and strong. Without reforms, the corrupt systems of the past have not been discarded or improved. Only with reforms will there be opportunities for progress. In recent years, Spain You should have seen the development of the country. These are the results achieved under the reforms every month and every day every year. If we do not carry out reforms and still want to be like before, then the title of European lazy man will definitely not be a patent of Spain. You His father, King Rama V, has carried out drastic reforms in recent years, and has also achieved a result that is close to the quality of life in the Western world, and more importantly, because he has worked hard to continue to operate in these years, in the United Kingdom The French occupied the entire Indochina Peninsula except Siam and were able to continue to maintain the du li of Siam. This is an incredible existence."

When Zheng Bao heard this, he was filled with admiration for his father. This incident was one of the reasons why he had been able to stand proud in Spain.

"However, Siam still ceded a lot of land, such as the land where Malays gathered in Laos in the south." Speaking of this, Alfonso saw Zheng Bao, who was proud just now, but now a little angry, and said, Be satisfied with your emotional regulation. "So, a country needs not only economic and social reforms, but also political reforms. Although your father has carried out drastic reforms in the first two items and achieved good results, but In the end, the land will continue to be ceded. Have you seen another country in the same region that has amazing reforms? Although it is a bit excessive and insufficient, it has still made it a world-class country. They are in The results include thorough reforms.”

"Could what your Majesty said be Japanese?"
