    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 you directly state the cooperation projects that France wants to implement, it will immediately expose France's purpose, and it will also allow Spain to argue on these issues and give France more outstanding interests to Spain in order to achieve its own goals.  the goal of.  It's just like the vendors and the customers buying things in the market.

    A customer came to the merchant's shop and originally wanted to buy the same thing.  However, the price of these items, which can be reduced or increased at will, makes buyers choose to ask about other items of the same type and different types even if they see one they like. At this time, the merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise the price, but they are smart.  The buyer then casually asks himself about the item he wanted before.  However, his eyes are still deliberately showing the merchant the item that he likes on the surface, so most of the time, Shangjia will deliberately belittle the item for which he casually asks for a price, and try his best to raise the item that the customer seems to like. In this way,  , naturally the guests can get the object they want 'suddenly'.

    Alfonso smiled and said: "Then I will speak frankly. The two countries can directly jointly maintain peace in the Mediterranean. Everyone knows that the Mediterranean is the most critical sea area for France and Spain. It can be said that the two countries  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 have much less coastline on the Mediterranean 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 he is also 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, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Senegal, etc., not counting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, these places.  Most of them returned to France through the Mediterranean Sea. It can even be said that the Mediterranean Sea is France¡¯s sea of ??life.  The islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the colonies on the China Peninsula, all returned to France through the Suez Canal.  These places continuously provide nutrients that France needs to absorb, and provide indispensable energy for growing France, 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, of course Alfonso will not keep people waiting for a long time, 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 Thai King Vacharajong, MexicoPresident De La Vala of Colombia and Gomez of Venezuela and other South American heads of state did not know why, but many people were puzzled by the seats arranged by Spain this time, because this time they were divided into several booths to observe the exercise.  , this time Spain invited the seven South American countries to participate in the exercise, as well as Thailand, Rashid, and the five countries France, Ottoman, and Hungary that were only known to participate not long ago. In addition to the heads of state or heads of the twelve countries, there were also  There was Stolypin, 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 South American countries are very shocked, because this represents many meanings, which are obviously worth questioning.

    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, right?"

    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-Dumergue was a little 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 statement. We wear the same pants as Madrid. Mexico is also a country that Spain can trust, and"

    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 a little bit 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 does not want this country to be bigger than the Caribbean, and he does 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 still be described as shocking, then if you are concerned about Gomez, we have already made people smell some jealousy.

    Sure enough, what we were waiting for was the tornado.

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