The Sun Never Sets In Spain

After experiencing the characteristic surfing project of Biarritz, Alfonso and Adolf set off for Catalonia early the next morning.

This will not be a long journey, they only need to take a train across the south of France, and then take a few hours by boat to reach the capital, Barcelona.

In order to show trust, Alfonso still only took Dias and Domingo as guards this time, and Adolf also expressed his touch in a timely manner.

On the train, two distinguished young men were talking, not about politics, but about horse racing.

"Well... when I left, the flying witch was in full swing, but I didn't expect to be defeated now, the rainbow octopus... It's a pity that I couldn't see this legendary horse racing." Adolf said with regret.

He returned to China in September last year, when Edward had just come to France with his horse. As a horse racing enthusiast, he naturally watched the first show of the Flying Witch.

"If it were not for the domestic political turmoil, and every penny had to be saved, I would definitely buy a rainbow octopus..." Alfonso sighed.

During the conversation, he succeeded in shaping the image of a crown prince with common hobbies and worries about the country and the people.

Adolf felt even more fond of the crown prince. He felt that the Bourbon dynasty was finally about to have a prince after so many years.

He could not wait to fly back right now, pull up his father and dedicate his troops to the city.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary for the crown prince to have a basic understanding of the situation in Catalonia.

He said: "The current situation in Spain is fairly stable, and all parties are splitting their powers. They are all making their own calculations, but no major conflicts have occurred. The problems mainly come from within."

After talking about the source of the problem, Adolf explained: "The Catalans are not technically the same people as the Castilians.

There has been a recent revival of nationalism. Some news media and theaters are using Catalan. Although it has little effect for the time being, we must pay attention to it in the future. "

During the conversation, Alfonso seemed to be the ruler.

Alfonso nodded with a smile and motioned for him to continue.

"The more important thing is the Carlos faction. They are very powerful in the political situation. Although they do not control the army, the police are under their control.

Because they are still obedient in name, we temporarily ignore them for fear of initiating a civil war, but they have been trying to infiltrate the army and have to guard against it. "

...

During the conversation between the two, the port of Barcelona arrived. It is the largest port in Spain and one of the ten largest ports in the Mediterranean.

The berths are already full, and countless workers are loading and unloading goods. Just looking at this port knows that Catalonia is already at the forefront of industrialization.

"Barcelona, ​​it's not bad, although it is not comparable to Paris, it is also a big European city!" Adolf said proudly.

Alfonso nodded. In his mind, Spain has always been synonymous with decay and backwardness. He did not expect that there would be such an industrialized city.

Originally, he said that he wanted to open a supermarket as an excuse. Adolf only needed to use reasons that the small city could not support to refuse. Both parties were not embarrassed.

But now seeing Barcelona with his own eyes, he thinks he can really consider opening a supermarket here.

At the same time, he became more curious about Governor Campos in his heart. The course of history is important, but he must also consider personal struggle. The Governor must be a capable person.

At this time, the sharp-eyed staff saw Adolf, recognized him as the son of Governor Campos, and ran to report to the superior.

Within a few minutes, the fat man in charge of the port hurried over.

"Count Adolf, you left here the day before yesterday and won't let me send you off. If you haven't seen me in a few months, you want to kill me."

Adolf stepped forward and gave the other person a warm hug, "Uncle Mario, you still talk like this, mainly because I am in a hurry, and you are in a meeting again, so there is no interruption."

"Haha" Mario finished laughing, and asked cautiously: "Who is this next to you? Is it your Royal Highness?"

He had some guesses in his heart, saying that Adolf went to meet the Bourbon royal family. His Royal Highness looked very handsome again, and he should be inseparable.

Sure enough, Adolphe replied: "Well, this is His Royal Highness Alfonso, our Spanish crown prince."

After receiving the affirmative answer, Mario looked solemn and bowed: "His Royal Highness, you are welcome."

Alfonso curiously asked, "This is? He looks like a Spanish virtuous minister."

Adolf smiled and said, "Uncle Mario, the director of the Barcelona Maritime Bureau, as long as the boundaries of Barcelona are exposed to water, he is in charge of him!"

Mario waved his hand quickly and smiled bitterly: "Don't tease me, count, can I control the navy?" In his words, he actually acquiesced in his control of civilian ships.

"Don't tell me, we have to go to see my dad, and arrange a carriage for us."

"Of course, of course, should I give it to you?"

"No, you can go to work, this port is inseparable from you for a moment!"

When he got into the carriage, Adolf's face immediately became gloomy.

Alfonso asked strangely: "What's wrong, his face is so ugly."

Adolf hesitated, and whispered in Alfonso's ear: "This Mario is from Carlos."

Alfonso kept silent immediately.

The carriage has been traveling for half an hour, and it was already more than 4 pm when it arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

After being told that the governor was out to check the work, the two followed the instructions of the guards to find a waiting room and sit down.

Until then, Adolf said bitterly: "I came to see you as a secret, but now it is known by someone who shouldn't know! He even ran up to me and told me that this was warning us!"

"Oh, so that Mario is from Carlos? Worried that you support the restoration of the Bourbon royal family?"

Adolf nodded: "If the Count Pablo who passed the message hadn't leaked the news, there must be a traitor among us.

He said that I walked from the port of Barcelona, ​​but in fact I walked from the province of Girona. "

Think of what Adolf said on the train, and Alfon ropeway: "Don't you say that they don't control the army, what are they doing?"

"I didn’t control the army, but it was enough to make us chaotic for a while. The neighboring Aragon (west of Catalonia) and Valencia (southern of Catalonia) were controlled by them. Then they will come over and win. Hard to say."

Alfonso stayed: "Didn't you say that you don't need to worry about each other's offenses?"

"That's because the goal of the Carlos faction has always been the throne. They should smash with Prim, and neither of them will care about us.

But if Catalonia shows an attitude of supporting restoration, it will depend on Carlos’s own choice.

I originally wanted to secretly support the royal family, waiting for them to lose out, but now that the matter has been exposed, I don't want to play games to hurt His Royal Highness. "

Having said this, Adolf suddenly knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Please allow me to swear allegiance to you, and the Campos family will always be loyal to Bourbon!"

Alfonso was shocked. In what age did he still swear allegiance, "Good guy, I'm a good guy, this is the shock of the tiger's body, will you pay attention to the head?" He has mixed feelings in his heart.

He recovered and said solemnly: "I accept your allegiance."

When Adolf stood up, he was a little worried: "Will Campos agree?"

Because he had already taken the oath, Adolf's words were more close: "Of course my dad will agree. He has always been loyal to Bourbon, but he is a little afraid of His Royal Highness Isabella."
