    Madrid, Spanish Royal Palace.

    "Your Majesty, information came back from Paris, saying that a special cabinet meeting was held in Paris this morning, chaired by President Paul Dume."

    Alfonso was a little unconcerned at first, but suddenly, he was even surprised why Chirac would tell such meaningless news. It was just a cabinet meeting. There was nothing surprising about it.  I was about to say something dissatisfied to him, but suddenly, he stopped me.

    "Cabinet meeting, no, are you sure?"

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I am very sure that just this morning, the meeting did not end until about three o'clock in the afternoon. Several of our sources have sent back the same news, with an accuracy of more than 95%." Sheila  Ke said it with certainty.

    Alfonso said: "I remember today is not Wednesday, right?"

    Chirac affirmed: "Yes, Your Majesty, your memory is very good! Today is Sunday."

    Stop flattering, French cabinet meetings are usually held under the chairmanship of the prime minister, but there is another cabinet meeting that includes the president personally, and that is the military.  Therefore, cabinet meetings held by the president are generally held and hosted with the presence of the military and the prime minister's cabinet. Moreover, this day has some fixed traces, that is, it is every Wednesday, which has been the case over the years.  According to the tradition of the French government, today's meeting is really strange and special.

    "What were they talking about in the meeting?" Alfonso said indifferently after being surprised at the beginning.  "It can't be because of the situation in Russia. And there's a lot of commotion in Germany right now, right?"

    In his opinion, this should be the most important thing in France.

    "Although they are similar, Your Majesty, there are still quite a few differences."

    Alfonso¡¯s disdain just now has disappeared, and he has become even more surprised.  Given Chirac's character, if he wasn't very big, he probably wouldn't have said that. As Spain's most important foreign intelligence collection officer, Spain's new lieutenant general level.  He definitely has a lot of power in Spain.  Moreover, his political operations are only responsible to the king himself, which is also a very special characteristic.  So he can be considered a calm person.  It even said that there was a discrepancy. It seems that this "discrepancy" should not be very small.

    Alfonso did not speak this time, but motioned for him to continue speaking directly.

    "According to the news, Paul Dumehe and Gaston were at the meeting this time. They directly explained the current situation of France and the impact of Russia in detail. Of course, this is different from what His Majesty just said.  statement

    There is no difference.

    "But the most important thing about them is" He paused at this point. After looking at Alfonso, he said: "The most important thing is that they mentioned a big conjecture of theirs?"  And it¡¯s still a big conjecture that¡¯s enough to shock the world.¡±

    "What kind of conjecture is enough to shock the world? I want to hear it. If even you, a Spanish intelligence maniac, say this, then the matter is going to be a bit big. I'm looking forward to your news, Chirac."

    "Paul Dume and Gaston Dumelo believe that we have always been in alliance with Britain, and it probably goes back to the time of Queen Victoria."

    "What?" Alfonso's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help shouting.

    Chirac's heart moved, but his face was looking at Alfonso, as if he was waiting for instructions, turning a blind eye to Alfonso's abnormal state, or in other words, he didn't seem to notice it.

    "He quickly concealed the confusion in his heart, and then said seriously: "What did you say?  "

    "They said that this time Spain should have agreed to form an alliance with Britain more than ten years ago, but it was not disclosed to the outside world. Then, the main reason why Spain has developed smoothly over the years is because of the British alliance.  Secret support, and our approach to Germany is the result of British deliberate promotion. Also, on the Arabian Peninsula, we are also cooperating with the British. In South America, the British are also cooperating with us to make us  The reason why it can absolutely check and balance the United States. In the end, Spain was in Siam. The cooperation with Britain allowed Spain, which was Britain's secret ally in the end, to gain the greatest benefits. After comprehensively talking about everything in Africa and Spain, Britain  They think the silence is easy to analyze." Chirac told the complete contents of his memories and then analyzed them.

    Alfonso no longer had the confusion just now, but asked a little funny: "What will be their final result?" Alfonso was very interested in this. Not only him, but also George V of England.  With William II and others, everyone who may know the content of this meeting should be verySurprisingly, at the same time, deep in Alfonso's heart, he was also worried about the false proposition revealed by France at this meeting, which made him absolutely feel that he was in trouble. Of course, the French were guessing this time, but other countries were  You may not believe it, because according to this statement, the cooperation between Spain and the United Kingdom is definitely very consistent with the background of this position.

    "They finally decided to continue tracking this false proposition, and then quickly track their impact on France, and what France needs to do because of this. Therefore, France has now begun to conduct a lot of research on this hypothesis.  The operation has been carefully considered, and the final result is that if it is true, France will take real response measures."

    "What measures should be taken and what countermeasures should be taken"

    "French Army Minister Millerand believes that France should also increase its army in the western region, while Navy Minister Pelletan also believes that more warships should be built and more regular army patrols should be carried out in the English Channel instead of the current weapons bias.  The Coast Guard patrols are weak. They do this because they want to directly deal with the sudden attack that may occur in the UK that is unexpected to them."

    "What did Paul Dume say?"

    "Paul Dume didn't say anything?"

    "Oh?" Alfonso looked at Chirac in surprise.

    "It was Gaston Dumelo who answered." He didn't dare to look into His Majesty's eyes, but he also guessed what would happen, and said: "Dumello's statement is that he agrees with the two people's views, but as for Spain, it can be  Reduce friction slightly¡±

    "Why"

    Chirac said: "He believes that this can give Spain more options for France to integrate and reconcile the conflicts between the two parties. Furthermore, France can also reduce the effect of disputes with the United Kingdom. In this way, France is currently in a period of weakness.  , but you get a chance to breathe, and you don¡¯t have to face the world¡¯s three major powers, Britain, Germany and Spain at the same time. You can provide more time for your own development.¡±

    "That's a good suggestion." Alfonso sniffed his nose, then picked up the teacup and took a slow sip, then swallowed it after a long time.  Said: "What about Paul Dume? You didn't speak out at this time and became mute?"

    "No, he said it. He thinks that he agrees with Dumelo's statement, but he believes that the government should go further and use this to drive public opinion among the people and make the people feel more about the benefits of reconciliation with Spain."

    Alfonso¡¯s serious expression softened at this moment and he said: ¡°How to reconcile? By what method?¡±

    "It is said that it is possible to carry out long-term reports in "Le Figaro" that France is at a disadvantage in the political tensions outside, and increase the threats to France from other countries, especially Germany and Italy, so as to divert us from them.  At the same time, the contradiction between them can also make the German Empire more of a target that citizens are generally psychologically prepared to guard against. It can also alleviate the people's livelihood and the country's various internal and external political situations that the government is currently facing, and then it can achieve multiple gains with one stone.  benefit."

    "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a political veteran who has been immersed in France for many years. He calmed down the situation as soon as he stepped out and found a solution. Paul Dume and Gaston Dumelo were really good. I really remember them.  You guys." Alfonso applauded appreciatively.

    For the first few sentences, Chirac also agreed very much, but I really remember you for the last sentence. No matter how you listen to it, it feels very weird. The president and prime minister of a world power, although your majesty is now relatively  It seems that this big country is even stronger than this big country, but it seems that it is not exaggerated to reach this point. He actually said that he only remembers the other party now. If the French heard it, then the blood of tens of millions of people would be enough.  Let the Spanish royal palace become a river of blood.

    But he knew that what Alfonso said was actually not wrong at all. Among the celebrities he knew, there were many people who were impressed by them, and these two people were spies sent by Spain. This could make him, the master,  Will you take it to heart?  Moreover, when Alfonso said this, he actually had a slightly equal and admiring tone, which already showed that Alfonso thought highly of the other party.  The most important thing is, who is Alfonso? He is the King of Spain, and according to Alfonso¡¯s own life goals, he is only 24 or 25 years old and has only lived about a quarter of his life. In other words,  As king, if Spain does not fall and he continues to reign without abdicating, then he still has seventy-five years left in his career as king.

    But now Paul Dume is 54 years old, and France is a republican system. The president can only serve two terms, and he will have to wait for another term before he can continue to run. In other words, after he has served two terms for eight years,  We have to wait for another term. If we meet a weak successor, we can take over after one term. However, if we are strong, or the competition is not weaker than his, for example, his predecessorPresident Armand Falier

    The first update. I wanted to update yesterday but couldn't log in, so I didn't update last night. If I try my best to update 15,000 words today, this is the most I've updated in a day. To be honest, except for yesterday, when I had more than 2,000 words, I just played.  I code type after work and have almost no time to rest, so I ask for your support to make my heart stronger and stronger.  Finally, I would like to thank those who have always supported me. Thank you for accompanying me every day from January 19th to now.  I wish you a wonderful life every day.  (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read here.)
