MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 81 palace talk

"Sergio, do you have the confidence to take up the position of Minister of Education?"

Alfonso looked at the official who proposed the education of loyalty and patriotism, not to say that Villa's ability was inferior to him, but the main points expressed by the two made Alfonso more inclined to Sergio.

"Of course there is no problem, Your Majesty."

"I am confident that I can build an education system for our country."

Sergio immediately nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and expressed his loyalty.

Alfonso nodded and looked at Villa.

"Villa, appointed you as the Deputy Minister of Education. I think the framework you described is completely achievable. You and Sergio are the leaders of this new department."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Villa also saluted and accepted the appointment immediately. Although he was slightly unconvinced that he did not become the Minister of Education, he could not refute the king's choice on the spot.

Seeing this, Alfonso nodded. The situation of education in Spain is rather embarrassing. Schools all over the country have been built, but the lack of a sound management and supervision department has now filled the vacancy in this part.

"As for the three of you, you have also entered the Ministry of Education, the establishment of the publishing house and the Education Bureau. There must be countless things in the initial stage. If your performance makes me feel that you can replace them, you can be promoted."

Alfonso did not take into account Sergio and Villa. This newly established department must have fierce competition, so that the education department can maximize the supply of fresh blood to the country.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The three responded in unison, looking at Sergio and Villa unwillingly, as if preparing to show their strength in the next work.

"Okay, you can go back and prepare related matters for the Education Bureau."

Alfonso waved his hand to signal for a few people to go out, then turned to look at Prime Minister Canovas.

"The Ministry of Education needs you to supervise it. Once something happens, solve it in time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Canovas made another noble salute to express his understanding.

"However, Your Majesty, Prince Isabella seems to be really preparing to go to Mexico, and I think this may cause her life safety."

The wind changed, and the matter was fixed on Isabella again.

"How do you say it? What danger do you think there will be?"

Alfonso looked at Canovas and asked strangely.

"Your Majesty, the three major factions in Mexico have promised to be responsible for the safety of Prince Isabella, but we cannot guarantee that someone will choose to attack the Queen for their own status to eradicate hostile forces."

Canovas expressed his concerns. The sister of the King of Spain suffered an accident in Mexico. For any politician, it is a good way to use Spain's hand to eradicate dissidents.

Although it may have an impact on Mexico's national interests, for politicians, this is not a problem at all compared with personal interests.

"If Isabella really encounters an accident, I think even if we directly occupy Mexico, there will be no opposition from any foreign power."

Alfonso couldn't help but say that although the status of the female prince is not comparable to that of the king or the prince, her status as the sister of the king of Spain is enough to stop everyone's mouths.

The monarchs of all countries will not let a prince of the Bourbon family die in Mexico for no reason. Spain can not only make Mexico pay a heavy price, but will not even receive any condemnation.

Even the British would not express dissatisfaction with Spain in such a matter, it would only limit the appetite of the Spaniards.

"I don't need to worry about this for the time being, but just in case, let the Army deploy 100 soldiers to protect it!"

Alfonso directly came to a conclusion on the matter, and didn't care about Canovas' words. If Isabella was really innocently killed, Spain would have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to New Spain.

And if nothing happens, Spain can also gain a lot of favorability in Mexico, which is important enough to ease the relationship between the two.

"Follow your orders, Your Majesty!"

Canovas bowed his head and did not continue to refute. After all, Prince Isabella did not help the country much, and this reminder was just for the consideration of the royal family.

"How's the situation on the Ottoman side, have you agreed to our conditions?"

The situation in the Balkans is actually very important to Spain. The huge arms sales will be a huge help to Spain's finances.

"The Russians are already preparing for the war, and the Tsar has agreed to the armament order with us, and the equipment for the Ottomans has also been delivered."

Military equipment is only a one-time transaction, and ammunition made of smokeless powder is the only transaction that can bring continuous benefits to Spain.

"In addition, the three 'Castilian-class' ships in the Ottomans are under the command of the British and are fully learning from the British experience."

There is no way to give the command of the warship to the British. If you want to benefit from it completely, you can only integrate into it and make yourself one of them.

The British Empire's navy, whether in tactics, training or other aspects, is indeed thriving in this era. It is the best option to bring these things back to the Spanish navy and then develop their own things.

As for the British's observation of the battleship design, Alfonso can only say that they can come as they please.

The more dreadnoughts are built, the greater the pressure on countries. The advent of the era of dreadnoughts will make these seemingly powerful warships retire in an instant. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The appearance of dreadnoughts directly made the former dreadnought fleet with a large number of British obsolete, and finally completed the crushing by virtue of its powerful shipbuilding strength.

However, it is undeniable that the Americans and the Germans successfully completed the catch-up and closed the gap between the two sides.

The two strong standards were forced to become one strong standard.

"If the British want to deter the Russian Black Sea Fleet and let our lads participate, it will be a good learning opportunity for them."

Alfonso stood up and stretched, and said casually.

The participation of Spanish warships in the deterrence operation will inevitably make Russians grumpy, but if they want to get the same equipment as the Ottomans, it will not affect the previous arms treaty.

The two poles in Europe are unlikely to have any influence on the other.

"Your Majesty, once France and Russia get closer, this may put our situation at a disadvantage. The British are not good allies."

During the crisis in the Near East, the Germans' secret support for Austria-Hungary has already caused the Russians of the Three Emperors Alliance to deviate from Germany, and it seems inevitable that France and Russia will move closer.

"Don't worry, the close proximity of France and Russia means that Germany and Austria are enemies of France. If they don't want to face the enemy from three sides, they will not dare to make outrageous actions against us."

It is indeed a fantasy for the French to offend the Spaniards for the sake of the Russians. It is estimated that the Russians themselves did not think so.

"Now, our biggest task is to improve Spain's government system and develop the economy. You still need to pay attention, Canovas."

Alphonse comforted Canovas and expressed his thoughts.

"Yes."
