Chapter 149: Confession

The US imperialists were angry, and the consequences were serious. Albert's death this time touched the nerves of the Americans, even if the United States, which is a superpower and many powers in later generations, is also very handy in sanctioning small countries, not to mention the current world economic power based on the Bretton Woods system.

First of all, there are various economic sanctions, Belgium, as a small European country, is destined to have little domestic demand in its market, and can only rely on exports to develop its economy. Therefore, the United States naturally restricted Belgian exports through various policies, and the orders for submachine guns that FN had to sign with the US Maritime Superintendent and the Food and Drug Administration were also cancelled, and even the import of firearms for the civilian market was also restricted.

First of all, the United States condemned Belgium for violating the regulations of the United Nations Atomic Commission and selling weapons of mass destruction technology without authorization, and here the United States said it very implicitly, because Belgium has never admitted that this is a nuclear weapon, but as long as you are not a fool, you can guess that the "secret bomb" that Belgium has is the legendary nuclear weapon. As for how the technology for the development of nuclear weapons ended up in the hands of Belgium, it is time for those to unleash their imaginations.

On the one hand, a number of Western European countries led by the United States condemned Belgium's behavior, especially the United Kingdom, which had been played by Belgium before, naturally shouted the most, of course, except for the United States, the others were all guys who wanted to fish in troubled waters, just like Britain deliberately disturbed the situation in Europe and then profited from it.

Domestically, the Belgian bourgeoisie, which is mainly engaged in the development of the export industry, has the greatest complaints against the government, and many businessmen rely on the huge market of the United States to support themselves, and the actions of the Belgian government are tantamount to cutting off their financial routes.

The mess was so big that even Albert had a bit of a headache. When he walked to the conference room, his mood was complicated, now the entire Belgian high-level is now anxious, the royal family and the government are looking at Albert, the initiator, some people in the royal family are waiting to see Albert's jokes, the corners of their mouths are almost uncontrollable, some people just look at Albert with pity, and then shake their heads and sigh.

Only Albert was still not surprised or pleased, as if what happened in this world had nothing to do with it, seeing Albert's calm expression, the mood of those originally uneasy crowds stabilized a little. Maybe even they didn't expect that a young man who was not yet eighteen years old would have a royal majesty that ordinary people couldn't reach.

"Thank you all for joining us." Albert looked at everyone present indifferently, except for Prince Charles and Prime Minister Arshier, the rest of the people partly represented the interests of the royal family, and some represented the interests of the bourgeoisie, so it can be said that everyone present is the representative of the interests of all parties.

And this meeting is about finding a compromise.

"The meeting is the best way to postpone the problem, especially when a group of guys with their own little calculations get together, and they can't solve the problem until the year of the monkey." In Albert's mind, the Sky Eye unceremoniously mocked the group of guys. Although Albert also agreed with Tianyan's statement in his heart, he couldn't say it.

"As you are probably aware, you are aware of the recent events in Belgium, so we invite you to this meeting today to find a solution." Albert looked around and found that many people lowered their heads intentionally or unintentionally, and did not listen to him at all, so he propped his hands on the conference table and said in a deep voice, "Also, I hope that everyone here can raise their heads and look at me while I am talking, instead of looking down and thinking about other things without education, what kind of bad family education can raise people like you." ”

Albert's sour sarcasm made everyone in the room look at him, and some people were the first to stand up in dissatisfaction, such as the fat-headed and fat-eared parliamentarian who was about to hold the button on his stomach until it fell off the line, and his whole body trembled like a mountain of meat.

"Your Highness Albert, let's not forget who is responsible for the current bad situation in Belgium, in just a few days, our economic losses are as high as 2.3 million US dollars, not to mention the amount of dollars that have evaporated from the stock market. Almost every minute and every second, we are suffering huge losses. The overweight parliamentarian said indignantly, and every time he said a word, the fat all over his body trembled.

"So what?" Albert replied blandly, "Do you think that I am gloating about what has happened to Belgium?" ”

In the face of the crown prince's accusations, the arrogant parliamentarians didn't dare to say anything, so he had to defend himself in a hesitant manner, "I didn't say that the crown prince gloated in this matter, but I just hope that this problem can be solved quickly." ”

"Shut up, Hillendo, and listen to the crown prince." Ahir really couldn't get used to what the fat parliamentarian did, and directly reprimanded him, and Prince Charlie just made all the nobles present shudder with just a cold look, and at the same time understood that Prince Charlie, who really represents the interests of the royal family, is on Albert's side, no matter how much trouble they make, they can't touch Albert's foundation.

"The solution has been thought of a long time ago." Albert said, "Since the Americans want an explanation, then we will give him an explanation, anyway, if the concession can ease the economic pressure on Belgium, then I can put down my face and go to the Americans to admit my mistake." ”

Albert's words made the entire conference room explode at once, and the crown prince apologized personally? This has never happened before, and the prime minister would normally act on behalf of the Belgian royal family. And the crown prince symbolizes the dignity of the country, how can he run to someone else's side and admit his mistake in a low voice.

"Albert, you're just fooling around." Prince Charles was the first to admonish Albert, and in his eyes, the glory and dignity of the royal family trumped everything, which was also imprinted in the hearts of every member of the royal family motto. The Belgian royal family can lose everything, but they must defend the dignity of the Belgian royal family to the death.

And what Albert did was to bow the head of the noble head of the royal family, take off the crown inlaid with jewels and poppies, and confess his mistake to his enemies, and Prince Charles could not tolerate such a thing. Prime Minister Arshier also exhorted His Highness Albert that there was no need to make such a big sacrifice for this matter.

Albert, who has never cared about the problem of face, has also not considered the issue of dignity, as long as it can bring benefits to Belgium and avoid risks, then what is the value of his personal joys and sorrows, thinking of this, Albert is firm in his belief. He repeated what he had just said: "Belgium must temporarily show weakness to the United States in order to ensure that its interests will not be infringed upon in the next step." ”

"There has never been a case for a head of state to bend his knee to another country and admit his mistakes. Albert, although you are not yet the head of state of Belgium, you can't make such a rash decision. Prince Charles couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say more.

"Uncle Charlie, do you have a better way? A way to get Belgium out of the situation it is in. Albert asked slowly. And Charlie just sighed and shook his head.

"That's not it, compared to face and profit, I choose the latter. If you still want to be entangled, you can slowly entangle, and that's all I have to say today, so I will take my leave first. Albert dropped these words, didn't look at them, and turned and walked out the door.

Arshill and Prince Charles looked at each other, and the former stomped his foot and said hatefully, "I'll go and persuade him again, and if it really doesn't work, I'll think of another way." ”

Achill chased him out, scolding Albert for his sloppiness and how old he was and having to wipe his ass for what the crown prince did. However, to his surprise, Albert did not leave, but stood quietly in the corridor outside the conference room, as if he had been waiting for Prime Minister Arshill for a long time.

"You chased it out anyway." Albert smiled, curling the corners of his mouth to look like King Leopold III, who was in high spirits when he was young.

"Your Highness Albert, I think I ...... about the apology" Ahir was entangled in his heart about how to tell the crown prince, but Albert just waved his hand and looked at Prime Minister Archill with a playful look. Prime Minister Arshill was a little stunned, this cynical appearance still appeared in Albert, in his eyes, the crown prince is a calm, composed, rational person, fully in line with the potential of a politician.

"What would Prime Minister Asher think if I said that confession was only part of the plan, and that there was another part of the conspiracy that had not been revealed?" Albert said with the appearance of a masterful strategist.
