Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Many people were in disbelief that Trini actually retained the position of Spanish Foreign Minister. The competition between Harveys and Jeb had already become fierce. Many people believe that Harveys may take over Trini's position if he has the upper hand, and then after several years of settling down, Jeb will take over the job to replace Harveys in the next term. However, in this situation, But it is as if people suddenly saw a smoke appearing, covering the originally clear things, and it is difficult to distinguish what is inside.

Some people are unhappy, and some are not very satisfied, but for the media, it does allow them to speculate more about the beginning of more opportunities to make subscription money.

Among the countries that the United States is most concerned about now, Spain has now surpassed its former colonial power, the United Kingdom, and ranked first. Therefore, once the results in Spain spread, the discussion in the United States was no longer as compared to that in Spain. Give more.

A new Spanish government has been born. Former Finance Minister Chávez took over the position of Prime Minister of Spain and became Spain's veritable second-in-command. The Minister of Interior, José, also continued to serve as the Minister of the Interior. Later, the Minister of Finance was replaced by Omer, the current overseas governor of Western Australia and the former mayor of Madrid; the Minister of Industry was the former mayor of Seville and the current governor of New Zealand. Behan took over. All other positions are subject to re-election.

But the weirdest thing is that Trini was also re-elected. What does his re-election mean? Many people are thinking about Spain's intentions. According to rumors, Trini's re-election was carried out with the support of Alfonso XIII. The Foreign Secretary is one of the most important cabinet ministers in a country's government. Especially in a world power like Spain, the authority of the Foreign Secretary can even be comparable to that of the Home Secretary, also known as the Deputy Prime Minister. Together with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he is called the Second Deputy Prime Minister.

Trini's re-election may be due to the following reasons.

First, Spain is engaged in a series of long-term foreign policies. Therefore, in this regard, the new foreign minister will not be able to achieve the effect under the leadership of Trini. Therefore, it is better for him to continue to bring it. .

As for the next reason. That is second. Spain actually did this to reduce some internal frictions, especially partisanship. Chavez is now the leader of the Conservative Party, while Trini is the leader of the Liberal Party (after Eugene became prime minister). And the identity of Jeb's Liberal Party and Harvey's Conservative Party. This may make many people worry that there will be factions inside that will hinder the efficiency of national policies. Therefore, Alfonso XIII still chose to retain Jose and wanted to be prepared for a buffer, and everyone knew about the cooperation between Chavez and Trini. The cooperation was harmonious, so the problem fell on Jeb and Harveys.

Trini's retention this time may be to pour a spoonful of cold water on their heads to make them think deeply. As for whether this is really the case, only Alfonso XIII, as the instigator, knows Got it

The eyes of the world will be watching the new governments of Spain and France. They want to see how these two world powers will face other major countries in the world, and what will happen between them. How will the territorial disputes between the two countries be resolved? Should they continue to dispute, or should they let go of their tense relations? Under the leadership of the new pro-Spanish government, the two countries will become good partners for cooperation. Let us wait and see. "

This last paragraph is somewhat ridiculing Spain and France, but it does represent the thoughts of many people. The [battle] between Spain and France not only has a direct impact on the two countries, but also has an indelible indirect impact on Europe and other countries in the world. So it's understandable that they pay attention. Soon, their wait did not take long to get the answer.

On January 1, 1911, Paul Dumet officially took over the power of President of France and became the most powerful figure in France today. On the day he took over, at the world-famous Place de la Concorde in Paris, France, Paul Dume publicly read out his governing philosophy and policy address in front of nearly 200,000 people, and officially announced that he would During his term in office, developing France's economy and improving relations with neighboring countries will be ranked as the most important things in power.

After that, he announced that on the basis of the original government, higher-level people would be sent to be responsible for resolving territorial disputes with Spain. And this is the man he will announce that he will appoint Gaston Dumelo to form a new French government and become his choice for prime minister.

And it will be up to him to hold Prime Minister + Prime Minister level talks with Spain to resolve the issue.

This bold proposal surprised everyone, and at the same time, they also felt the strength of Paul Dume's determination.

In the end, as the crowd dispersed, the appearance of the new French [President] and Prime Minister candidates came to an end. However, the development of the territorial dispute between Spain and France followed Paul’s words. But there has been a dramatic change, and even for this reason, many people directly call it that the spring of the two countries is coming.

"Meeting at the Prime Minister level?" Alfonso was stunned when he heard the news. The news was a bit sudden for him. At the same time, he did think deeply, and finally there was a frown on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, I think this is a good idea. In this case, we are likely to conduct core negotiations more directly, instead of just assigning a deputy minister level to do a show-off like before. It's just the other party." Trini felt that it would be a good idea for the Prime Minister to do it. After all, even though he is the Foreign Secretary, some things are practical. It is still timid to deal with, unlike the prime minister who has already taken charge of the overall situation and can allocate administrative resources at will. This has greatly shortened the differences between the two countries and domestic conflicts, which has huge benefits.

He didn't understand why His Majesty should have noticed this, but why was he still frowning and thinking hard. I don’t understand, I really don’t understand, Your Majesty, it’s still as unfathomable as ever.

Alfonso turned his head and said to Chavez, the current Prime Minister: "Ask, what do you think?"

Chavez's personality is a bit like Ji Xiaolan's, the kind of person who is a noble child with a gentlemanly demeanor, while Trini is a bit like He Shen, who can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals and is a complete villain. Of course, it doesn’t mean that he is bad, it just means that his [thinking] is different. This is also because the difference in personality between the two is so big that they are even opposed, so the quarrels and so on come from this. . However, it did not prevent them from admiring each other when they knew that the enemy was powerful.

Chavez glanced at Trini out of habit, glared at him demonstratively, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think there is actually a certain trap in this."

"Where did the trap come from? You should tell me first," Trini interrupted before Chavez could finish speaking.

After seeing Alfonso's dissatisfied expression, he shrank his head, but still looked at Chavez with his ears perked up. Obviously that dissatisfied look said it all.

Chavez: "It's very simple. Paul Dume said he wanted to negotiate directly between governments, but you should know that we now have an absolute advantage. If we rashly follow them in such a high-level negotiation, Level negotiations are very risky. One of the most obvious and confusing things is what to talk about when we meet, how to talk about it, and where to talk first if there is any possibility. These are not easy to do. It’s a question of getting the answer. If we post it rashly, it may turn out to be the other way around in the end, and the person who makes the profit may be the one who guesses it right. So, I think we should take it slow. It’s not necessary. So they are anxious to deal with them, but on the contrary, their current task is to deal with us."

"Bah, bang, bang," Alfonso clapped, and Trini, who was next to Chavez, also clapped unwillingly.

"Very good, Chavez. If I had known this, I would have directly helped you to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs, otherwise I would have repeatedly tried to persuade someone to stay." After Alfonso finished speaking, he deliberately squinted. Lini glanced. That way everyone would know who he was talking about.

Of course Trini was not convinced, so he followed up: "Your Majesty, what you said did violate a diplomatic taboo, and it is very serious."

"What a diplomatic taboo? It's very serious." Alfonso said with a disapproving smile.

Chavez also looked at Trini with interest, wanting to hear what his statement was and the basis for it.

"Hmph, Your Majesty actually forgot that if Prime Minister Chavez comes to sit in my seat, then will it be his turn to take the position of Prime Minister at a higher level? This is not direct. You made it exist in our hearts with just one sentence. Did I have a grudge against you? I don’t know, I thought you were deliberately ostracizing the two of us."

Alfonso was really shocked when he heard that, and then he suddenly laughed twice and said: "Well, you Trini, you really went around in circles and scolded me. Not bad, even the king dared to scold me, But forget it today. If I let you go, you won't be so lucky next time. I know your affairs, so I will give you a chance. If Spain's diplomacy can continue to go as I want and plan. If you develop in the right direction, then when the next Spanish Prime Minister changes, I think I will support you. Of course, the prerequisite just now is one, and the other is that you should not be too bad in other aspects. " Seeing that Chavez was unclear, Alfonso told him about Spain's foreign actions that he would implement in the next few years.

After the latter heard it, his face showed the same solemnity and hot light as when Trini first heard it. At the same time, the discomfort that His Majesty had just promised to Trini as Prime Minister suddenly disappeared, and became more of expectation.
