Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 55 Prince Arthur and Brother-in-law the Crown Prince

"Why do you think you will return to a space of peaceful development after the colonial conversion?"

"why not?"

Alfonso looked at his father-in-law and His Royal Highness, the most powerful prince in the UK. He was in a daze. Fortunately, there were only a few. The conversation with King Vittorio and Mohammed just now made his plan continue to move forward. In the end, King Vittorio of Italy asked him to come to visit him again tomorrow in a seemingly polite but meaningful way. He smiled inwardly, knowing that the other party understood the purpose of his conversation today.

And now sitting opposite him is his father-in-law, Prince Arthur. Next to him is Oscar Fredrick, William Olaf Gustaf Adolf, in Prince Arthur's study. There were only three of them, and the door was closed. With such a small number, it goes without saying that these are all people Prince Arthur can trust. Alfonso is Prince Arthur's son-in-law, and Alfonso sits opposite him. He is also the son-in-law of Prince Arthur, and he is also the eldest son-in-law. He was the marriage partner of Princess Margaret in 1905. He is now the crown prince of the Kingdom of Sweden. His father, King Gusta V, was 50 years old last year. The age of the king who took over.

As for him, Alfonso knew that if history did not change, then the position of the crown prince's brother-in-law would really have to sit on the bench for a long time, waiting to come on, because his father lived a very long life, and lived from 1858 to 1950. He is 92 years old and has been emperor for 43 years. This cheap brother-in-law and Princess Margaret were both born in 1882. So when he came to the throne, people discovered that he was old enough to retire. Fortunately, he was also a long-lived person. He did not pass away until 1973 at the age of 91 and handed over the throne to the already appointed successor at the age of 25. The eldest grandson of the king is also his and Margaret's grandson, who later became Karl XVI.

The reason why he appears here now is because just now, he couldn't bear Patricia's request and finally agreed to come to Prince Arthur's house together. After saying a few polite words, a few people came to Prince Arthur's study.

"I am also a little puzzled that the young His Majesty would do this. But I have to say that this move is really wonderful. In my opinion, the reason why the King did this should be to make the United States have some scruples. , after all, since Britain has agreed to do this, it means that Spain's actions have been acquiesced by Britain, and similarly, Spain has also gained the preparation that it does not need to fight against the colonies. But I still don't understand why, Your Majesty, you You need to exchange such a large colony for Western Australia and New Zealand. You must know that those places are really wild mountains and mountains, and your country exchanged them..."

The person who spoke was Adolf. He spoke very slowly and without haste, but his tone was very sincere, making people feel that he was speaking with heart and emotion. There is no reason for you not to answer seriously.

"At that time, Spain needed a stable development space, and the higher the price, the faster the agreement. Needless to say about the United States, their purpose now is to prevent any empire from expanding its power in the Americas, and even more directly, they hope that countries will withdraw from the Americas and let them To control the Americas. This should be their temporary purpose, and the media has also reported before that the Philippines and other transactions are also intended to have a chain reaction and then expand to other places. I have no choice but to implement this, otherwise who will I'm willing to trade a huge chocolate cake for a small chocolate toffee." Under the affectionate appearance, Alfonso looked really helpless and bitter. It feels like I've suffered a big loss.

Prince Arthur has been watching every move of this little son-in-law since they met him just now. Although he feels that things are not as simple as Alfonso said, based on his understanding of him over the years, he does not think that Alfonso Fangsuo is a master who will suffer losses. Just like this time when the two countries are in conflict, it seems that he is suffering losses. In fact, people like them who often wallow in the political whirlpool don't know that it is his Spain that actually makes a profit. And he still stepped on the shoulder of the British, but he would not be dissatisfied with him because he was the prince of the British. On the contrary, he felt that this son-in-law was in line with his taste and had his style in the past. A man would We should be brave and resourceful like this instead of just rushing forward and fighting blindly. We should plan countermeasures first and then implement them in an orderly manner. This is what a leader of a country should do. ….

This is a responsibility to ourselves and an explanation to the people. When I saw Adolf next to him, he didn't know whether he really understood or not, he looked unpredictable. Prince Arthur was very satisfied with his two sons-in-law. A king, a future king, both of his daughters have the status of queens who are inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What else doesn't satisfy him as a father? As for his son, he is also very satisfied with this son. At least what he does now is very similar to what he wants to arrange for him to do. This also touched his successors.

The study was quiet for a while, but of course Prince Arthur was willing to let this atmosphere continue until the end.

"What do you think about the current situation in Europe?" He looked at the two people, focusing on Alfonso, but he looked at Adolf first to let him speak first. This is a sign of respecting the order of elders and younger ones. At the same time, in Prince Arthur's view, the more important speeches are left to the latter. He has also adopted this habit. Perhaps in the deepest part of his heart, Alfonso's weight is The heavier ones have solidified.

Adolf is also a discerning person. Of course he will not be dissatisfied. He even agrees with Prince Arthur's approach. In Europe, a place with strict classes, rank is like a gun standing in front of everyone. If you don't abide by the above rules, you will be punished. The possibility of being shot dead and the strong gaining respect have become the most recognized iron rules on the European continent and even the Western continent.

"Since the prince said so, let me tell you my opinion first." Adolf followed up: "The perspective from your two countries is different from the perspective from our Nordic countries. In our opinion, Europe is now The situation is undergoing rapid changes, and established countries and emerging countries are fighting for rights."

"Looking at the other two people, I found that they neither denied nor affirmed, but looked at him with a smile. He was not angry, but continued:

"The old empires led by Britain, France and Tsarist Russia are accelerating their cooperation, and Germany and the former suzerain country Austria-Hungary are also forming an alliance for closer cooperation. Spain, Italy in the south, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, a half-European and half-Asian Mediterranean power They are watching the actions of their northern neighbors with vigilance, and they are slowly getting closer to each other to keep each other warm and warm. Other countries, which are mixed together, are standing on tiptoes watching the little sparks of the big countries, and they are afraid that one day The sudden outbreak of war hit them." Adolf smiled bitterly: "And our Nordic countries are like this."

Prince Arthur and Prince Arthur didn't say any kind words such as "I can't do it anymore" because they thought it was unnecessary. If they did, they would even make others say you are a hypocrite.

Of course Alfonso knew that it was his time to speak. He did not shirk, but took a sip of tea and said:

"According to the latest data, the rate of development of emerging countries in recent years is even several times that of agricultural countries like Tsarist Russia. Representative countries include the German Empire and the Spanish Empire. Of course, many countries will say that Spain does not count. An emerging country, but what I want to say is that in my mind, it is an emerging country, rather than relying on plunder to become a prosperous existence like before. The industrial revolution implemented by the British Empire for decades is a very good example. This is Spain should learn from this and set a good example." Alfonso patted Britain's back without hesitation. And said:

"The rise of emerging countries is based on the fact that several old countries led by Britain have occupied the world's resources. Therefore, newly industrialized countries need to industrialize, and resources and energy are indispensable. Germany now only has a few barren colonies. This is very important for the current situation. It is very unsafe for Germany, which has reached the most advanced level of industrialization in the world. After all, countries may shut down their exports when there is a security threat. In this way, Germany will face a shortage of resources, so the German Empire has The urge for external expansion, and Britain and France are the countries with the most colonies. It can even be said that the fraction of their colonies is much larger than that of many countries. They are the obstacles to the expansion of the interests of the German Empire. Britain, France, and the occupation Tsarist Russia, who had directly transferred the land they had arrived to, also knew their status in the eyes of the German Empire. In this way, the situation was born."…

"What about the United States?" Prince Arthur suddenly asked.

Alfonso and Adolf glanced at him unexpectedly, but they did not say anything unprofessional about the connection between the situation in Europe and the United States. They are both politicians, and they know everything that can be used. They should Maximizing utilization is the best ticket for politicians.

Just like when the American people expressed their views on congressmen in surveys in later generations, the most disliked people in the world are congressmen, because they all engage in political transactions and focus on their own interests. They are some of the most untrustworthy people and they are pure politicians. Now these leaders are not like this. Alfonso has never denied this, nor does he want to deny it, because in his political creed, he can strive for the best interests of the Spanish Empire, no matter what means, he will not hesitate to execute. No matter how big the problem of public opinion is in the end, he will do a good job on the issue of public opinion because he knows how important the effect of a national brand is in future generations.

There are two updates today, and the other one will be at around ten o'clock in the evening. Please continue to support and vote for me. Finally, I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival! A new year begins with everything going well and everything going well.
