Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Dumeige laughed after hearing this and said: "Many people don't know at all. In fact, the greatest unity between countries is interests, and allies are often short-lived. Of course, if interests can continue, This alliance will naturally continue to exist vigorously. As for moral issues, you have to ask God."

This guy's understanding ability is really amazing. Alfonso feels a little pity for his talent. However, he naturally doesn't think that he can drag him to Madrid. After all, he is also a French Prime Minister who is not weaker than Spain. He even has a high degree of arrogance. He is not weaker than himself at all. After all, Gallic Chicken has always been famous in the world for his arrogance.

So he sighed and said: "There is no such thing as an alliance from beginning to end in the world. There is a tradition of bundling interests. However, I think that in terms of the distribution of power in Europe, although Spain and France may not be completely consistent, Spain is still very powerful. It is determined that the cooperation between Spain and France far outweighs the differences.”

"So, what kind of cooperation does His Majesty think there will be between these two big countries?" Gaston Doumergue said, somewhat on the sidelines.

Alfonso secretly praised the other party's astuteness. If the other party chose not to ask on purpose, then he could naturally give the other party a long list of cooperation projects as a result of the cooperative attitude between the two. Here, naturally, it is based on Maximize the interests of Spain.

And if the cooperation projects that France wants to implement are directly stated, France's purpose will be immediately exposed, and Spain will also be exposed on these issues. They carried out arguments and gave France more outstanding interests to Spain to achieve their own goals. It's just like the vendors and the customers buying things in the market.

A customer comes to a merchant's shop and originally wants to buy the same item. However, the price of this item is not fixed and can be reduced or increased at will. However, even if the buyer sees something he likes, he will choose to ask about other similar items. For different types of items, merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price at this time. However, smart buyers will casually ask themselves about the item they wanted before, but their eyes are still deliberately showing the merchant the item they like. , so this time plus most of the time. They will deliberately belittle the item that is casually asked for price. Try your best to promote the item that the guest seems to like, so that the guest can naturally get the object they want.

Alfonso smiled and said: "Then let me be blunt, the two countries can directly jointly maintain peace in the Mediterranean. Everyone knows. In the Mediterranean, it is the most critical sea area for France and Spain. It can be said that the two countries are The most important thing is to protect yourself. Although everyone has a long coastline in the Atlantic direction, it is one of the lifelines just outside the island in the UK. Especially the English Channel, you can know it from the name. British attitude of importance.

France seems to be much less located on the Mediterranean coastline than Spain, and therefore, France seems to have less interest or attention than Spain.

If someone holds this view, I dare say that he is definitely not a politician, and moreover, he is still a political idiot, because they seem to have forgotten. France also has a large colony in Africa, where France is supported by a large number of local tribes. Algeria, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Chad, North and Central Africa, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Senegal, etc., not counting the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Most of these places return to China via the Mediterranean Sea. For France, it can even be said that the Mediterranean Sea is France’s sea of ​​life. The islands in the Pacific and Indian Ocean, as well as the colonies on the China Peninsula, are all returned to France through the Suez Canal. These places continuously provide France with nutrients that it needs to absorb, and provide a strong country with France. Indispensable energy, so this is the first project that I think the two countries need to cooperate most.”

Seeing Dumegue's silent response, Alfonso said: "Of course, the situation in Spain is almost the same. France has Algeria, while Spain has Libya and Morocco. These two places are Spain's Mediterranean key points, without France. There are still some variables in the support of the two countries, and cooperation between the two countries can reduce many errors. Especially in the east, there are many allies of Spain such as the Ottomans and Hungary, which are one of the interests that Spain is most concerned about. ."

"The first one has hit the mark, and I'm really looking forward to the second one." Dumeige smiled, and then said with some curiosity.

In this regard, Alfonso certainly won't keep people waiting any longer, and. At this time, it was obvious that the speech of the two people just now attracted the attention of many people, especially Stolypin, the Prime Minister of the Russian Empire who was right next to them. Portuguese Prime Minister Barroso, as well as King Vacharaj of Thailand, President De La Vala of Mexico, Gomez of Venezuela and other South American heads of state, for some unknown reason, the seats arranged by Spain this time actually gave up to many people. Everyone was puzzled, because this time the exercise was observed in several booths. This time Spain invited seven South American countries to participate in the exercise, as well as Thailand, Rashid, and France, Ottoman, and Hungary, which were only known to participate not long ago. In addition to the heads of state or the heads of the twelve countries of the Communist Party of China, there was also Stolypin, the Prime Minister of Tsarist Russia.

You know, the two countries were very hostile to each other in the past, but now the Prime Minister of this country has appeared. Although everyone knows that Nikolayevich is the second-ranking figure in Tsarist Russia, it does not hinder it. The person who appeared to be second in power but actually was third in Tsarist Russia's power list, his arrival at invitation shocked everyone.

Even France and other seven countries in South America are very shocked, because the many meanings this represents are obviously worth questioning and pondering.

Alfonso: "The second thing is that Spain feels that the current world has actually undergone earth-shaking changes. Therefore, with the rise of many emerging countries, for these countries, the current world may not be so perfect. , these countries may feel a little aggrieved because of this, and this sense of grievance may prompt these countries to do some desperate things. Perhaps France and Britain and Russia came together after thinking this way?"

This time, he was not looking at Gaston Doumergue, but at Stolypin on the right.

Stolypin said calmly: "Indeed, many countries now have such thoughts, so I think it is better for the world to remain as it is, at least in terms of the current territorial use rights of each country. In the face of power, we should not make any excessive changes. This is what the world should do most."

Gaston Doumergue was thoughtful. It's not Stolypin's words, but his attitude. Obviously, this issue is very important, because, from between the lines, it can be seen that the top officials of Tsarist Russia may have had direct contact with Spain without telling France. And it was done completely away from France. He gave Stolypin a meaningful look and had already made up his mind. After returning to Paris, he was going to discuss new diplomatic strategic issues with Russia with President Paul Dume.

"I also agree with both of you on this point."

Alfonso smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Barroso, the Portuguese Prime Minister after Gaston next to him: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Barroso naturally nodded without any doubt, and then said humorously: "We are all wearing the same pants, what else can break up the thread of cooperation between us."

"Hahaha"

Barroso's words made everyone present laugh, but it was hard to know whether they were sincere.

Mexican President Francisco Leon de la Vala said: "Mexico also agrees with this sentence. We wear the same pants as Madrid. Mexico is also a country that Spain can trust."

Before the smile caused by Barroso's words completely disappeared, Della Valla's words surprised everyone. What does it mean? Everyone looked at him in surprise. Especially Venezuelan President Gomez, who was on the edge of him, almost couldn't help but stand up. Because I had this idea just now and was prepared. However, when he was about to say it, he didn't expect that this guy would say it out quickly. This shocked him beyond measure.

At the same time, I also felt slightly regretful. Because he knew that the leading role he had planned to use to gain major support from Spain might slip away from him.

And the direction he slipped away was still northwest of the Caribbean Sea where he belonged.

Naturally, he did not want this country to be the only one in the Caribbean, and he did not want this country to become another United States. Therefore, he said not to be outdone: "

“I also think that the cooperation over the years, especially after the cooperation in Lake Maracaibo, has completely integrated Venezuela and Spain. Therefore, we are all on the same front, and Venezuela will continue to work in the future. In the face of any provocation to Spain, we will unconditionally and unswervingly support Spain’s position.”

If De Lavala's words just now can be described as shocking, then Gomez's words have already made people smell some jealousy.

Sure enough, what we were waiting for was the tornado. (To be continued...)

ps: Second update, after thinking about it for a while, I still worked hard to write, so I will update again.
