Restart Spain

Chapter 14: negotiation

In Spain, compulsory education has begun to be implemented.

Some stubborn old figures are still very resistant, thinking that the government has made them lose the labor force.

Countless people have spontaneously invested in the construction of new schools and the renovation of old schools.

And local teachers are also selected by the local government. It is very convenient to find suitable people in the life of educating elementary school students.

No experience is required, and most local knowledgeable people are visited by government officials.

Naturally, these people will not refuse such a decent profession, and teachers are respected at any time.

In Europe, there is no shortage of intellectuals who live in poverty and choose to come to Spain to be a glorious primary school teacher.

The country's booming school construction seems to have given the country a ray of vitality.

At this time, Bismarck, who had already arrived in Spain, naturally saw this scene along the way.

Since the last time the German government decided to visit Spain to negotiate cooperation, Bismarck had already set off the next day.

After several days of running around and turning from sea to land, the 70-year-old did not show any discomfort.

Along the way, he saw countless elated people who spontaneously built schools for the government, and the satisfied smiles on the people's faces moved him.

Although they may still have patches on their clothes, and some of them have yellow skin and thin skin, they are full of vitality.

Bismarck knew that it was a yearning for the future life, indicating that they were full of hope for their future.

Bismarck couldn't help but have a good impression of Alfonso. From the ESP artillery to the compulsory education law, it can actually change the current situation of a country.

At this time, he has come to the Royal Palace of Madrid in Madrid, Spain.

"Your Majesty, the German Chancellor Bismarck has arrived. Please, Your Majesty, please come to the drawing room."

Howard pushed open the door and said that the Madrid Arms Factory has been supervised by Vielli since it was on track, and he himself returned to Alfonso's side.

"Let's go, let's meet this legendary prime minister for a while."

Alfonso pushed aside the chair, stood up, and strode towards the living room.

"Hello, Your Majesty Alfonso, thank you for your reception."

As soon as Alfonso opened the door and entered, Bismarck stood up to say hello. Bismarck was accompanied by Matt, the German ambassador to Spain.

"Hello, Your Excellency Bismarck, your name has been admired for a long time."

Alfonso immediately responded with a smile. In fact, he was very excited to see the real Bismarck, but now it was a meeting between countries, and Alfonso didn't want to make mistakes.

"Your Majesty, this time I am here for your country's artillery. His Majesty William I, the Emperor of our country, has the full authority to authorize me to handle this matter."

Bismarck said directly, without polite greetings.

"The performance of your country's artillery has shocked us, but His Majesty offered to sell the artillery to us in exchange for our support for Spanish steel technology.

This transaction seems to be not very friendly to the German Empire. Our requirement is that we will get the comprehensive technology of this artillery, so that we can provide technical support for your country's steel industry. "

Bismarck said that as a statesman, one must learn to be greedy.

"Your Majesty, I admired your name when I was still studying in Germany.

But this does not mean that I can rely on my status to give you the greatest benefit. You know, I am the king of Spain now, and I am responsible for all our citizens.

The conditions offered by your country are unacceptable to our country. "

Alfonso replied, in fact, there is some truth in this sentence.

"Your Majesty does not know that our country's financial situation is not very good, and if we allocate a sum of money to buy artillery, it will have an impact on the development of our country."

Bismarck said emotionally, it seems that the problem in Germany has become irreconcilable.

In the diplomacy between countries, whoever is deceived by the other side will lose.

"As far as I know, your country has vigorously developed its economy in recent years because of France's 5 billion francs indemnity. How could it be a question of money?"

Alfonso stared at Bismarck, the stubborn old man looked at him blankly, even if the lie was exposed without a trace of embarrassment.

Suddenly Alfonso stood up, pointed to the east, and said, "It is precisely because I respect you, Your Excellency Bismarck, and Kaiser Wilhelm I, that we have chosen to cooperate with the German Empire instead of our neighbor, France."

On the surface, Bismarck was still calm, but he was already sighing inside.

Because of the British intervention in Russia, Germany could not take the lead in fighting the French.

Whether it's a **** stirrer or a European road roller, they don't want to see the Germans dominate in Central and Western Europe.

If the Germans want to completely destroy the French, then Britain and Russia will definitely intervene, and their compatriots, Austria, will fight against them.

"His Excellency Bismarck, Spain sought the cooperation of the German Empire with sincerity,

We want friends, not Spain as an enemy of fools. "

Alfonso said directly.

"But your country seems to have obtained a weapon that can be used in today's war situation just by paying some technicians."

After speaking, Alfonso looked at Bismarck and wanted to see how he would react.

"The German Empire is of course a friend of the Kingdom of Spain, but the conditions of your country are indeed difficult for us to accept.

my country can buy 500 ESP artillery pieces, but in the same way, we also need to buy related technologies. "

Bismarck sighed, as if he had made a big concession.

"Your country's sincerity seems to be just that. UU www.uukanshu.com It seems that we have to find the French to negotiate. I believe the rich and powerful French can give us better conditions."

Alfonso sat down and rubbed his forehead, as if it took a lot of effort to make this decision.

But the words inside and outside are all threats. Not being cruel to others is cruel to oneself.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you have persuaded me that we can do without the artillery technology, but for the price of buying artillery, I hope Your Majesty will give us the greatest discount."

Bismarck shook his head. After all, the Franco-German war was a huge threat. It suffered heavy casualties. If you didn't fight, you would have to be a Frenchman all the time to engage in an arms race.

"That is, of course, the Prime Minister. As your admirer, I can give you a 20% discount on the original basis. This is the cost price given by the company because I am the king."

There was a smile on Alfonso's face, and the 20% discount on the arms cost? Maybe only a fool would believe this.

"Happy cooperation, Your Majesty!"

Bismarck stretched out his hand and turned a deaf ear to Alfonso's words. The artillery was in his hand. With the military strength of the German Empire, he could quickly understand him.

Bismarck thought so.

"Happy cooperation, Prime Minister!"

Alfonso also stretched out his hand and held it together. How could Alfonso not know what Bismarck was thinking?

But all the executives of the Spanish military factory know that the ESP guns use smokeless powder.

The artillery looks exactly the same as you made, but how can you play without the cannonball.

When they thoroughly understood this technology, Alfonso believed that Spain had come up with more advanced and better artillery.
