Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Unexpectedly, we guessed it right." Armand, the French president, said with a bitter look on his face after learning the news.

"Then do we still need..." Pika asked hesitantly.

"No, no need. Now that things have developed like this, the Kra family, let them continue to hide there for future use, right? By the way, Pika, this time I want to bite you as my special envoy, specifically to go south. A trip to Madrid”

"Is it about buying weapons?"

"Yes, alas, although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that Spain's current weapons technology research and development has begun to catch up with and even surpass France. Under such a premise, what we can do is to make our The advanced technology of our country will not fall too far behind. Therefore, purchasing weapons is the only way to measure whether the development trend of our weapons is in line with the pace of society. Under this premise, we can maintain our status as a world power, otherwise e If we do, we will face a great threat. Therefore, your mission this time has a long way to go."[

"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to facilitate this mission." Pica promised confidently. There were some frightening doubts in his heart, why would Armand directly disclose his identity as a special envoy? You know, there are many talents in Paris now, such as Finance Minister Raymond. Poincaré, or Prime Minister Aristide. Briand. Now, he chose himself without even thinking about it. This sounded the alarm for him. It was very likely that he suspected Armand of doubting his identity. But, was this a test? I have already determined that my identity is doubtful, so I think that I am more qualified than the Prime Minister for this huge task.

With this doubt that made him solemn, he went back to prepare. When he went back, he took a deep look at Lison who stayed behind. Then left without looking back.

"You are not missing any opportunity to exploit him, just drain him dry."

"In politics, one should not waste any chance of survival and development. Although I am 90% sure that he is a Spanish spy, haven't I yet exposed him to his face? Even if Spain knows that we may Doubtful, or even think that we already know his identity. Without us making it public, hehe, I believe they are still the same as us. You are the one who would rather keep this interconnected link." Armand turned around, That calm smiling face revealed quite a bit of majesty.

"Although you have obtained a lot of information over the years, you have not really obtained one that is worthy of your value. I wonder if your identity is already known to Edward VII? If so, let you go It is a waste of resources on this already transparent road.”

"I also want them to know how great it would be to live a good life in Paris like this. However, I think the UK is still not able to allow me to live such a life. Don't worry, Mr. President, I will increase my efforts."

"Well, you did a good job this time. I didn't expect that this guy Pica would be a Spanish spy. Spain's penetration is too strong. I just don't know if there are other people besides Pica, especially If there are still such heavyweight talents, it will be really hard for us to deal with them.”

"Because it can't be changed. For an ace spy, the cost of training him is absolutely astronomical. Just like me, with your focused training, we can achieve the results we have now. Imagine, with the resources in my hands and the The value I provide to the other party makes me feel shocked every time. Therefore, I think the president does not need to worry too much. Of course, routine methods such as monitoring pickup trucks are not very useful, but I think we should still do it. ."

"Well, you should also go and communicate more with the British side and find out about the British's recent attitudes and practices towards Spain."

Watching him leave, the smile on Armand's face disappeared and was replaced by ridicule.

"You actually want to take it all? Do you really think that I don't know? Just like keeping the pickup truck, keep your useful chess piece, so that you can effectively improve the relationship between Britain and Spain. Being able to intervene, hehe, you want to use me, but in fact, the other way around, you are not just being used by me."

To the north of Armand, he seemed to see Copenhagen where a large number of royal family members were gathering. He saw Edward VII, William II, Alfonso XIII, Nicholas II, and other companions. Next to Vittorio. Emanuele III, Frates. Joseph I, Mohammed V and other world giants. There, now is the time to determine the future development trend of the world, but I can only look far away and cannot look in or even participate. This feeling is really not ordinary, but I think that I am not the only one. That's all, now, compared to Taft, that guy on the other side of the Atlantic is shaking his head and sighing.

April 30th is the last day of this month. Tomorrow will be the European royal meeting of dozens of large and small monarchies that everyone is paying attention to. The night before, many people have already started to warm up. race.

Site of the residence of the King of Spain under Danish arrangements.

"Your Majesty, we can say that our two countries are as close as we can get. I won't say any polite words. In short, I can directly say that in my heart, Portugal is Spain's closest ally. The kind who will defend them with their lives even if they die, this is the most sincere sentence I can say."

Sitting opposite Alfonso was the current Manuel II of Portugal. The two of them clinked the glasses filled with white wine in their hands and took a sip.

If other kings had come, perhaps Patricia would be here now, but Manuel II is still single, so in terms of etiquette, it is not necessary.

Although I know that Alfonso XIII’s words are a bit watery, I still feel very comfortable listening to them, because Portugal is definitely the only country in the world that can get that sentence. Of course, if it wasn’t Because the two countries are adjacent, if you want to hear this sentence, you will definitely have to pay a lot more. Spain will never come to ask for mercy like it is now, but should send it to your door.

For this reason, Portugal has not had any dissatisfaction with Spain due to its rapid development in recent years. Although he feels uneasy about this dependence, compared with the previous rule of his father and brother, Portugal is much stronger now. , the living conditions of the Portuguese have entered the most advanced level in the world, all of which come from Spain. Under such circumstances, even if he chooses to go against Spain, he believes that the people in Portugal who respond will definitely be in the minority. people. [

What we can do is to always follow Spain and lead Portugal so that the people of Portugal can live a good life. This is my biggest long-cherished wish."

"What is your greatest wish?" Alfonso shook his head, and then said: "I think, obviously, your greatest wish is to leave their hope for Portugal?"

Manuel II was initially a little angry when he saw him shaking his head, but after hearing the questions that followed, he put it down and couldn't help but ask why.

"As the head of a country, I think that a good king is definitely what the people long for, so Your Majesty, I think it is time for you to start choosing your other half, the queen of the Portuguese people, because only in this way, with It is the kings of future generations who truly give hope to the people and find spiritual sustenance for them.”

After hearing this, Alfonso was surprised that Manuel II, who was originally relatively capable, turned red. Alfonso even saw that when the other person looked at him, his face turned red. It's still a little unnatural, wrong, it seems that from just now to now, when he sees himself, his eyes just don't dare to really touch him. At this moment, Chirac walked towards him from the side, and then said: "The Queen gave this to you." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper. Alfonso could naturally see that Chirac could read it immediately. meaning.

So he didn't hesitate to have Manuel II next to him, and started looking at him directly. After watching it, his face became a little gloomy as he looked at Manuel II.

The latter's head was lowered after being chopped off, but he quickly raised it again, and then not to be outdone, he directly looked into Alfonso's eyes.

"You know what? You are doing this to make it difficult for me." No one questions every promise made by Alfonso, especially after seeing that Alfonso personally made major events that shocked the world. Afterwards, they were even more certain that Alfonso's words represented absolute firm belief and the kind that would not give up until the goal was achieved. So in this case, although the tone is very gentle, it can even be described as gentle and gentle.

Alfonso: "You don't know, because you don't know her status in my heart. It's hard for you to imagine that she is so important to me. I even threatened the President of the United States for her safety." Otto Roosevelt, if something happens to her in the United States, the United States will definitely pay 10,000 times the damage to make up for it. I didn’t expect that you, you,” Alfonso pointed at Manuel II, his face filled with anger. He was too red to say anything.

"She and I really love each other, and I hope you can make it happen for us."

"But, I have already helped him find other people."

"Who is it?" Manuel II asked angrily.

The corners of Alfonso's mouth tilted slightly. He said with an expression: "Prince Adalbert"

"It's him!" It's him! Manuel II’s expression changed greatly.

"It was William II who personally called to help his third son ask about Xiangti. How is it? You must be afraid."

"No, I will never give up. Tell me, how can you marry her to me?"

Alfonso thought for a moment, and then said, "There are conditions, but it depends on whether you can bear it."
