C3163 Morning on Lake Geneva

"If I go too far in taking advantage of something like this, I will be punished by the heavens. If I take all the good things, I will take all the bad ones. It seems like I was being too hasty …"

Understanding this, Xiao Letian's heart suddenly cleared up. He stood up and walked around the lake to send off his numb and stiff legs, but after walking only two steps, he almost fell down. Only then did he realise that his legs had already turned numb from not moving for an entire night.

One of the Dragon Guards quickly kneeled on the ground, and lightly rubbed the acupuncture points on the leader's legs. A warm feeling quickly eased the numbness in his body, and at this time, Xiao Letian raised his head, he discovered that A Madiao's figure had appeared in the distance.

"No need to rub it, I'm fine …" With that, Xiao Letian walked towards the king in the distance with large strides. A Madiao had obviously already seen Xiao Letian, her eyes flashed an evasive look, but she could not ignore diplomatic etiquette.

"Did you rest well? "Your Majesty, I might have been a little too harsh on you last night. I apologize to Your Majesty …" "Actually, there is no hatred or conflict between you and me. In fact, there are certain aspects where we can understand each other!"

A Madiao never thought that Xiao Letian's smile today was so dazzling, even the two De Mu behind him wagged their tails at him to show their goodwill.

"Good morning, esteemed leader. I too was defeated last night. I hope you don't mind …"

"Let's take a walk together?" As soon as Xiao Letian finished speaking, he started striding forward. A Madiao didn't even have time to think before he was followed by the leader of the group.

They casually chatted about the weather in the Alps, then talked about the differences between Chinese and Europeans. Their sense of distance between each other greatly decreased, and A Madiao's good impression towards Xiao Letian increased by a lot.

Xiao Letian laughed self-deprecatingly: "Actually, there is no need for Your Majesty and I to be so hostile towards each other. To Spain, you and I are actually outsiders.

"Do you think I'm trying to sow discord? In fact, the current situation is clear to you, your majesty... This time, I stand from the perspective of a bystander to analyze, and will not be involved in any conflicts of interest! "

"Spain has had its fair share of glory before, and it was a complete mess! In the early stages of The Age of Great Navigation, this is the biggest gold and silver market in Europe!"

"But unfortunately, this glory did not give Spaniard any permanent benefits and became a historical burden! To put it in Chinese terms, it's just that we've been so successful in the past that we can't get off the stage now! "

"Even though our domestic economy is riddled with holes, we are still trying our best to get close to the Church. How much money did we spend for the Catholic Spanish royalty?" "The church has always been very powerful in Spain. I would like to ask how your relationship with them is."

"Hehe, as far as I know, the various Italian States s have already joined forces to prepare to overthrow the Roman Empire. Once the protective umbrella that is the The French Empire falls, the Vatican will be in trouble!"

"The fire at the gate of the city has caused a disaster. Your Majesty, the influence of the church in Spain is very strong. How could they be nice to you?"

"The distribution of power in Spain is much more chaotic than that of the France. The French are fighting for their lives, and the capitalists have their own nobles and a portion of the new working class!"

"But Spain? The Holy See, the Queen, the capitalists, the warlords, the local independent powers... Furthermore, each faction can be divided into several parts! "

"The army is now in pieces. A powerful general is leading a group of direct descendants, Juan de Dios. "Prim is just one of them. He's one of the stronger ones!"

"Who was the one who assassinated him? "Don't look at me, it really wasn't me. I didn't need to kill him at all. I had already recovered Manila before Prim died, there was no need for assassinations …"

"The one who killed the General Prim was the conservative warlord organization that supported Queen Yi Suobeila!"

"There are also local independent powers, the Catalan and Basque regions. They have been arguing about independence and going their separate ways from Spain!"

"These people are very violent. Your Majesty must be careful in the future!"

Xiao Letian picked up a tree branch from the lakeside and threw it far away.

"Your Majesty, this is the empire that you want to rule. It is huge but extremely chaotic, and the internal strife is extremely severe. You don't even know who you can trust!"

"The ousted queen is eyeing the south of France like a tiger. When the troops close to her gain the upper hand, she could be restored at any time... It was both internal and external! "Dear Your Majesty, do you really think that when you ascend to the throne, the whole of Spain will be yours?"

"Saying the truth is indeed very hurtful. Since ancient times, no one has ever bestowed authority upon anyone. They have always relied on their own struggles to obtain it … "If you were to establish this unit, then it will forever be yours, and others will not be able to take it away!"

"The skeleton of the council is formed by your direct line of descent. Their vote will definitely be taken according to your will!"

"You single-handedly set up the local administration system. Since all of them are your loyal subordinates, then the place can be controlled …"

"If not! Hehe … "Then how can you be so sure that those who wear the crown will listen to you?"

Xiao Letian's words scared A Madiao so much that his face turned pale and his hands started to shake. He had been worried before but he had never thought about it to such an extent.

In truth, Xiao Letian was not trying to scare him. Spain was originally this chaotic, and the historical A Madiao had already had enough after working for three years. He simply could not control this chaotic situation, and no one would listen to him.

Of course, no one would listen to him, because the formation of all the powers had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that the water in the pot was about to boil, Xiao Letian quickly added more firewood. He patted the King's shoulder in fear. You need someone to back you up internationally. Even if the situation is dire, you need to spend money to hire elite soldiers! "

"Think carefully about the Philippines, the Chinese uprising is already a foregone conclusion, the Spanish rule has long since been broken down, and the Philippines has been paying less and less taxes to the Government of Spain these years …"

"If you want to maintain the rule of the Philippines right now, you will have to modernize and upgrade the garrison of the colonial government! "Come, come, let me calculate a sum for you …"

Xiao Letian then placed his hand on the king's shoulder, as though he was an old friend with his arms wrapped around his shoulder!
