Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Could it be that Spain is really prepared to quarrel with so many countries at the same time? No, according to the current comprehensive strength of Spain, this country should not have such ability. After all, Germany, Italy, and Italy are not much weaker than Italy even though they are incomplete. Austria, even if France is added to these three countries, the leaders will not be able to feel at ease. What's more, it is obvious that Britain is already suspicious of Spain and is planning to get closer to the United States and Japan. In this case, they will be the most powerful in the world. , will become an isolated party. Although it cannot be said that they will be weaker than the other two parties, it must be admitted that they will not be able to gain the upper hand. Now Spain and France should be trying to win over their allies. That’s right, but this result really surprised me.”

Nikolai Nikolayevich is in the embassy of Tsarist Russia in Spain, and he is the only one here in what was originally the ambassador's office of the embassy, ​​and Ambassador Putin is already obediently beside him. The deputy director was given a temporary office there.

Who is Nikolayevich? As the marshal-in-chief with the most powerful army in the world and the chairman of the National Defense Committee, he was also the uncle of Nicholas II and a grand duke-level existence in Tsarist Russia.

It can be said that he is a modern legend of Tsarist Russia. He is tall and burly, handsome, and most importantly, he is very smart and witty. Therefore, this makes even the very arbitrary Nicholas II feel suspicious when he is deeply suspicious. , can also protect himself openly, and even be favored and trusted all the time. It's quite astonishing, it is said. Today's Tsarist Russia is actually not the religious director Pobedonoschaev, nor the Prime Minister Stolypin, but the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich. Although in fact, everyone knows that there is another person It is something that no one can ignore, but that person is a taboo existence in Tsarist Russia. so. No one had any intention of keeping him in mind.

Putin was very shocked that Tsarist Russia actually sent Grand Duke Nikolayevich, the uncle of Tsarist Russia who was most respected by His Majesty Nicholas II, this time. This illustrates a problem, that is. And this was just after the Prime Minister was still in Plymouth. This secret visit. His status as ambassador to Spain has skyrocketed, and he knows that as long as he does a good job. After completing this trip to Spain, he may really be able to return to St. Petersburg. If he doesn't do well, in addition to being beheaded, he may even be thrown directly into a small country such as the Rashid Kingdom in the central-eastern desert in the south. Very possible.

Therefore, he dialed the number of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs again.

Soon, he got connected.

"Hello, I am Vladimir Putin, the Russian ambassador to Spain. I wonder if your foreign minister is here?"

This time, it was a dead horse. It had been done four times before. Ever since Spain knew the purpose of his visit, for some reason, no one in charge came out to receive his Uncle Wang. It had been two days. Well, if Spain does not produce decent figures, I, the Spanish ambassador to Tsarist Russia, will really hide his face in front of Nicholas II and Grand Duke Nicholas. After all, even I will be extremely disappointed with myself.

"Oh, wait a minute"

"OK"

I'm used to waiting for the formula.

However, the answer this time turned out to be a little surprising to him.

"I'm sorry, our minister is still having an important meeting, so," "Waiting for a second, just when Putin thought he was ready to hang up if he had time as before, the other party suddenly said" Please bring your distinguished guests in half an hour, our minister has notified the royal family."

Notify the royal family? Also, bring distinguished guests? Doesn't this mean that he can deliver on his mission? What's more, even with the royal family's intervention, he even overfulfilled it?

He was excited and thanked her many times. Then he walked towards the office that originally belonged to him with excitement on his face.

Half an hour later. In the Spanish diplomatic conference room.

"I have been neglecting the Minister because I have been dealing with some housework these days. I hope you don't mind." Alfonso said without conscience. In fact, this housework was just to take care of the children for his wife. It just allows my wife to deal with more things organized by the International Women's Federation.

"His Majesty the King is busy with state affairs, so it is understandable." There is always a preamble. Nikolayevich knew that Alfonso XIII did it on purpose, but he also understood that everyone needs to have a step down. He spoke with Ambassador Putin translating.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but your Excellency, the Grand Duke, has lost a lot of weight. It must be due to the hard work of state affairs. After all, Nicholas II has worked very hard these years. I am a little envious of him. After all, with such an uncle, I Can you take some time off from your busy schedule?"

Alfonso expressed concern for Nikolayevich on the surface, but in fact there was something hidden behind his words.

How could the latter not understand the hidden meaning of Wang Chenhao's words? On the contrary, what he thought of was that he was amazed at the fact that the young man in front of him had become much more sophisticated in political dialogue after not seeing each other for many years.

"Talk more about His Majesty the King's concern. If we can end the war signal between your two countries as soon as possible and reach some agreements similar to peace and cooperation between the two countries, I believe you and I will not have to worry about this anymore."

Nikolayevich quickly shifted the topic to the peace negotiations between the two countries. As for Alfonso, he was even more unwilling to waste time like this. He had even thought about whether his eldest prince would now He was mischievously causing trouble with his princess again. Therefore, he did not want to continue talking about irrelevant topics with him.

"The war was provoked by your country's rudeness. Therefore, Grand Duke Nicholas, don't you want to take some specific actions so that the 45 million Spanish people can alleviate their anger?"

Alfonso was the first to make things difficult, and with a stern and stern attitude, he had already begun to suppress the other party.

It’s just that Kuman has become accustomed to this kind of political method.

"Regardless of whether the war is won or lost, both of us will hold our own positions! And the attitude towards the war is of no real benefit to everyone. Therefore, I suggest that the two countries, for their own strategic significance and for the sake of international issues, , we can cooperate, we should solve these problems as soon as possible."

Just kidding, although Nicholas II respects him, if he fails to reach an agreement that satisfies him, then the final result may be that his uncle will also fall out. Therefore, such an agreement will naturally not be his choice or even Far is not the bottom line. (To be continued...)
