The Sun Never Sets In Spain

On January 8, 1869, Alfonso met a representative sent by Campos in his yard.

The opponent was the son of the governor, a brown-haired young man of about 20 years old, whose surname was De Campos, whose name was Adolf, who had the same name as the famous hero who shot and killed the *** leader during World War II.

It can be seen from the surname with "de" that the Campos family is also from the nobles of France, and their affection for the Bourbon dynasty can be explained. After all, they are fellow villagers.

Adolf's posture was very upright, instead of nodding and bowing like ordinary people saw the king, but respectfully kneeling on one knee and kissing the back of Isabella's hand, indicating that he still regarded himself as the queen's courtier in his heart. servant.

The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became more relaxed and harmonious. If the queen was still in power, Adolf who had no official office would be considered presumptuous and flattery, but in this case, he could only be said to be loyal. show.

Adolf raised his head, looking at the queen on the surface, but in fact he was peeking at Alfonso from the sidelines.

This time in Biarritz, the elder Campos (named Arsenio Martinez, as Campos was called) did not give him a specific task. He only let him act according to the situation and inspect the Spanish crown prince.

It can be said that he has given him a great deal of trust, and he is confident that he will not fail this trust-before meeting the royal family.

Now, the crown prince hasn't said a word yet, he already has the urge to pay him back.

He knows that the crown prince is handsome and can play well, but he didn't expect to be so handsome, which is a bit too much.

Adolf thought his sight was very vague, but in fact it all fell into Alfonso's eyes.

"Adolf, 22 years old, graduated from the Saint Cyr Military Academy in France, in the top ten of his grade. After returning home last year, he served as company commander in the Catalan Army system and held the rank of captain."

Alfonsomo came up with the basic information of the other party. The ability to graduate from the Saint Cyr Military Academy undoubtedly shows the ability of the other party. The company commander is indeed a bit higher at the beginning, but who makes the army be someone else's father?

Under such circumstances that require dedication from the other party, the posture should not be too high.

So after saying hello, the few people didn’t talk about business matters, but talked about daily routines.

The other party has also lived in Paris for several years. If you want to, there are too many topics to talk about.

With Adolf's intentional cooperation, several people soon behaved like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Alfonso struck aside and asked: "How are you doing your job now? Is life in the army hard?"

Adolf looked at him, realizing that this was about to get to the point, and after thinking about it, he said, "I myself am quite happy, but the domestic situation is really not optimistic.

Now nominally Primm controls the highest power, but in reality Spain is in a state of separatism.

As long as there are soldiers, they have their own ideas. There are republicans, Carlos, liberals, royalists, and independents. These factions are divided into many factions. In short, they are very chaotic. "

These intelligence queens have known for a long time, and they have nothing to say.

Alfonso did not ask "Which faction are you?" This was too straightforward, but continued to ask about the details of the work: "Are you under the Spanish military system now?"

Adolf smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Spain is actually divided into many forces. Each force is like a small country. It has to raise its own soldiers and cannot maintain such a large military system.

We in Catalonia are considered very strong, but our conventional force is only 33,000, so our company has only 100 people, which is far less than the normal 250. (Spanish military system is relatively large

Adolf said bitterness, but Alfonso was surprised. The total population of Catalonia is just over 3 million. You raise more than 30,000 regular soldiers. Not counting the militias and police, you will be mobilized during the war. Can't bring 100,000 people out.

Catalonia may only have this strength in the country. It is located in the northeastern part of Spain and borders France, the Mediterranean coast, and the industry is also the most developed area.

No wonder it was possible to launch a coup in history, this is all the support of strength!

"We may be stronger in comparison, but we are surrounded by people from Prim and Carlos.

There are also many Carlos supporters and Catalan separatists in Catalonia, and the situation is not optimistic anyway. "Adolf looked at Alfonso's expression and knew what he was thinking, and explained.

"Okay, you can't be optimistic." Alfonso didn't discern it, and continued: "That's it. You also know that I opened a supermarket in Paris. How can there be none in China? I want to go to Catalonia. Ronya takes a look."

"Of course, the visit of the Crown Prince of Spain is an honor for Catalonia!" Unexpectedly, Adolf agreed without even thinking about it.

In Adolf's mind, he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of Bourbon.

Campos himself is also loyal. If he hadn't been forced by the queen at the beginning, there was nowhere to vent his grievances. Even if the queen did a bad job, he would send troops to help.

In this case, as long as Alfonso is not too bad, they will gradually accept it.

What's more, Alfonso is excellent beyond imagination, especially that face, ordinary people can't help but show loyalty when they see it.

Adolf was able to resist the impulse, get along again, and examine it, he was already determined.
