As I expected, it was not a simple matter to get Alfred Jr. to take the position, it must be a complex system project.

The only thing that makes me scratch my head is that these things are time-limited, and now old Alfred is still struggling to breathe, and once he no longer breathes, then this matter must be implemented immediately, without the slightest delay.

In other words, according to Lakshin's information, the elder Alfred is now in a dying state, and we have a month left at most.

One month sounds like a long time, but considering the deep digging, considering the round-trip journey, and considering the time required by these intermediate links in the process of execution, landing, and fermentation, a month is actually imminent!

In particular, the three things must be taken into account as a whole, and there can be no deviations, and any one is not suitable, which may make the other two pieces give up halfway, which increases its difficulty.

So I have to do a division of labor, so that everything can be pushed together at the same time, and no one is left behind, so that it is possible to achieve ultimate success.

The first thing that must be done is the first two, as for convincing Philip II, in the end, it is ****, and it must be put on the back to be realistic.

It was not difficult to solve the problem of Alfred Jr.'s brother, according to him, his younger brother Joseph was an out-and-out second ancestor, drunk, lustful, troublesome, and said to have a lot of usury business.

So it's not too easy to take him down. Finding any name can make him stink and make him lose the possibility of inheriting the family status.

So I don't have to worry too much about it, just let little Alfred design it himself, and I'll help him implement it.

A large number of ninjas and special operators are there, and they are the best at doing this kind of chicken and dog scraps behind the project, and if they don't use it, are they waiting for appreciation?

My main focus was on dealing with Gudorova Charznan de Guzmán. In the past two days, I have received a lot of news from the French military about this middle-aged man, and to be honest, I admire this guy quite a lot, and even a little awe.

The eldest son of Don Quixote de Guzmán, the former commander-in-chief of the Spanish Arada, he was kicked out of the house by his father at the age of twelve.

The young Charznan went to work as a junior in a tavern, worked as a back kitchen in a fish shop, and worked with street thugs for a few days. But it didn't last long, because for this energetic young man, none of this work could meet his inner needs and his perception of himself.

At the age of thirteen and less than fourteen, Charznan returned to his old profession and became a young sailor in the harbor of Villarreal.

During his three years as a sailor, he brushed decks, washed toilets, collected garbage, and when he was older, he began to pull ropes and raise sails.

Later, because he was well educated, able to read and write, and had a good drawing skill, the navigator on his battleship "Hilding" took him as an apprentice and learned the skills of a navigator.

In this era, the status of the navigator on a ship is definitely not inferior to that of the first mate, and in general it should be regarded as a second-class person parallel to the lieutenant and chief navigator, second only to the number one person on the ship - the captain.

Generally speaking, it takes about five to eight years for a chief navigator to go from school to graduation, but it has to be said that Charznan is quite a good and outstanding figure, he completed the entire course of navigator in just over two years, less than three years, and became a trainee navigator on the Hilding.

As a result, God was pleased to encounter strong winds and waves during an expedition to South America, causing the fleet to deviate far from course. In order to get the fleet back to course as quickly as possible, the chief navigator of the Hilding had to brave the wind and rain to go to the deck to measure latitude and longitude.

As a result, a huge wave hit, and the chief navigator was ruthlessly swept into the depths of the sea, and became a martyr with honor. It is precisely because of this that Charznan's opportunity came.

In the midst of the overwhelming storm, Charznan succeeded in bringing the fleet of 3,000 men back to the course with great courage and professional qualities, and of course, the spirit of the newborn calf, the enviable luck and the mercy of God, and thus established a high prestige.

Some people say that if a person wants to develop, it is difficult to rely on his own ability alone, and it is not enough to rely on the network behind him, the best state is that he has the ability, and the people behind him are also capable, and Charznan is such a lucky person.

Under his own efforts and the secret operation of his old father, at the age of twenty-six, Charznan became the captain of the "Lagos", the youngest third-class battleship of the Spanish Armada.

As his prestige grew, at the age of thirty-five, he became Admiral of the Third Squadron of the Spanish Armada and rose to the rank of middle and upper leader.

During the First Battle of the English Channel a few years earlier, Charznan happened to be ill and stayed at his home in Seville to recuperate.

What was supposed to be a lifelong regret turned out to be a matter of luck because of the fiasco of the Spanish Armada.

As a result, Charznan became the backbone of the Spanish Armada that survived and remained, shouldering the important task of rebuilding the new Armadada.

Helplessly, although Philip II had some reason to let the old Alfred, the old enemy of the de Guzmán family, who had been in the military department, be in charge of the reconstruction of the new armada, the old guy still could not shake the position and role of Charznan in the armada.

After all, although the old commander is gone, the descendants he left behind are all over the corners of the Armada, and Charznan has become the faith and belief in the hearts of these people at this time, and they all believe that after the old Alfred goes, Charznan will become the new leader and reinvigorate the old commander's reign.

The elder Alfred had his own little calculations, and his son, Alfred the Younger, who was under my control, was also the pride of the Spanish Navy.

Unlike Charznań, who started as a navigator, the second ancestor was one of Spain's leading business geniuses, and at the age of twenty-five, he started his own team and started the trade between the new continent and the mainland.

In the following decades, Alfred Jr.'s trade grew bigger and bigger, and his connection with the Armada became deeper and deeper, according to statistics, nearly half of the expenses of the Spanish Armada came from his own industry, and the rest was closely related to his support.

It can be said that Alfred Jr.'s role is compared to that of Charznan, completing the other end of a fleet's operation and survival.

From a fiscal point of view, income and expenditure are equally important, and no one can tell the difference between them.

In the course of his forty-odd years, apart from being captured by me twice, there were few other stains, especially since he was born suave and particularly good at interacting with people, and was deeply appreciated by the Spanish nobility. So in general, Alfred Jr. is completely Chunlan Qiuju compared to Charznan, and they are good at winning.

Now that the elder Alfred is dying, the vacancy in his throne will surely be created between his son and the two stalwarts of Charznan.

From the point of view of Alfred Jr., the biggest problem at present is that he is out of town, there are disputes within the family, and the emperor's intentions are unclear, so he has three requests to me.

As has already been said, it is not enough to deal with Alfred Jr.'s brother Joseph, and to convince Philip II that the work can be put last, and that the priority is to deal with the difficult hard bone of Charznan.

Why is he said to be a hard nut to crack?

According to Alfred Jr. and the information I received from other sources, this middle- and high-ranking Spanish officer was not greedy for money, lustful, or gambling, and was an excellent and good officer. It's not so easy to dirty him.

Although the elder Alfred had used the means to demote and cut the officers of de Guzmán's faction, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and their faction still had great power and influence.

Under such circumstances, the people of that faction will inevitably defend Charznan in order to avoid being completely hollowed out, which makes our plan even more difficult.

Little Alfred and I thought about it for a long time, but there was no effective way to deal with this guy.

With a sigh, I slumped myself on a wicker chair and sipped my glass of red wine casually.

Little Alfred is also full of sadness, he knows that he can't defeat Charznan, and the probability that he wants to take the position is only half at most.

But how easy is it to bring down this guy? With the same sigh, he also took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, sighed again, and raised his glass to take another sip.

"At the time of Armageddon, he was sick?" I asked aimlessly.

"yes!" Little Alfred shook his head and replied, "It is said that he has some kind of gastrointestinal disease, which seems to be very serious, but when I saw him later, he became fat, and people said that when he was recuperating, he hooked up with several noble ladies and ate a few meals to support him." Ha ha! ”

"Gastroenterology? Fat? I repeated softly, a vague thought swirling in my mind.

"That's right!" Little Alfred didn't understand what I meant, and still gossiped to himself: "If you want me to say that his family is not short of money, he can get fat with gastrointestinal diseases, and he doesn't know what delicacies he eats." And the illness came strangely, and it was so good that as soon as the war was over, he was fine. ”

"Uh-huh......" I groaned deeply as I heard him, as if ...... Looks like there's something you can use!

"What's wrong? Qilan, is there a problem? Little Alfred asked, confused.

I didn't answer his question, but I asked again, "And now?" Which part of the process is he mainly responsible for? ”

"The Third Fleet, mainly in the New World, is the one who was going to attack your territory this time. But as soon as you stirred it up, Britain and Spain turned their faces again, and the attack was over! Little Alfred replied gloatingly.

"Was the merchant fleet we used last time with his fleet?" A thought came to me, and I suddenly asked again.

"Yes! Isn't it his fleet! Little Alfred seemed to hear what I was saying, and replied very seriously.

"There it is!" I clapped my hands heavily and slammed the cup in my hand on the table: "This time, I will definitely let Charznan come and go!" Hahahahaha! ”
