On January 8, 1869, Alfonso met a representative sent by Campos in his courtyard.

The other party is the son of the governor, a brown-haired young man about 20 years old, surnamed de Campos, whose name is Adolf, and has the same name as the famous hero who shot and killed the leader of *** in World War II.

It can be seen from the surname with a "de" that the Campos family is also a nobleman of French origin, and their favorability towards the Bourbon dynasty can be explained, after all, they are fellow countrymen.

Adolf did not nod and bow like ordinary people when he saw the king, but respectfully knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of Isabella's hand, indicating that he still regarded himself as the queen's servant in his heart.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was suddenly much more relaxed and harmonious, if it was when the queen was still in power, Adolf, who did not have a formal official position, would be considered arrogant and flattering, but in this case, it can only be said to be a sign of loyalty.

Adolf looked up, ostensibly looking at the Queen, but in fact he was secretly looking at Alfonso with his peripheral vision.

When he came to Biarritz this time, Campos the Elder did not give him a specific task, but only asked him to take the opportunity to investigate the Spanish crown prince.

It can be said that it gave him great trust, and he was confident that he would not fail to live up to that trust - before meeting the royal family.

Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't said a word, and he already has the urge to bow down.

He knew that the crown prince was very handsome and very capable of fighting, but he didn't expect to be handsome like this, which was a bit too much.

Adolf thought his vision was obscure, but in fact it all fell into Alfonso's eyes.

"Adolf, 22 years old, graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, with top ten grades in his grade, and after returning to China last year, he served as a company commander in the Catalan army system, with the rank of captain."

Alfonsomer came up with the basic information of the other party, and being able to graduate from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy undoubtedly shows the ability of the other party, starting from the company commander is indeed a little higher, but who made the army someone else's father?

In this kind of situation where the other party needs to dedicate, the posture should not be too high.

So after saying hello, a few people didn't talk about business, but chatted about family things

The other party has also lived in Paris for several years, and there are so many topics to talk about if they want to.

With Adolf's intentional cooperation, they soon behaved like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Alfonso knocked on the side and asked, "How are you doing your work now?" Is military life hard? ”

Adolf's expression was solemn, and he understood that this was to cut to the chase, and after thinking about it, he said: "I myself am willing to do it, but the domestic situation is really not optimistic.

Now nominally Prime and others hold the supreme power, but in reality Spain is in a state of secession.

As long as there are soldiers, they have their own ideas, there are republicans, Carlos, liberals, royalists, independents, and these factions are divided into many factions, in short, it is very chaotic. ”

They have known about these intelligence queens for a long time, and they have nothing to say.

Alfonso didn't ask, "What kind of faction are you?" This was too straight, but continued to ask about the details of the work: "Are you now under the Spanish military system?" ”

Adolf smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Spain is now actually divided into many forces, each of which is like a small country, and it can't maintain such a large military system if it has to raise its own soldiers.

Our Catalonia is very strong, but the regular strength is only 33,000, so the number of our company is only 100, which is far less than the normal 250 people. (The Spanish military system is relatively large)"

Adolf said bitterly, but Alfonso was very surprised, the total population of Catalonia is just over 3 million, and you have raised more than 30,000 regular soldiers, not counting the militia and police, and you can't pull 100,000 people out if you mobilize again in wartime.

Catalonia may be the only country in the country that has this strength, located in the northeast of Spain and the border with France, on the Mediterranean coast, and the most developed industrial area.

No wonder a coup d'état can be staged in history, this is all supported by strength!

"We may be a little stronger in comparison, but we are surrounded by Prim and Carlos' people.

There are also quite a few supporters of the Carlos faction and Catalan separatists in Catalonia, and the situation is not optimistic anyway. Adolf looked at Alfonso's look and knew what he was thinking, explaining.

"Okay, if you say it's not optimistic, it's not optimistic." Alfonso did not distinguish and continued: "That's the case, you also know that I opened a supermarket in Paris, how can I not have it in China? I'd like to visit Catalonia. ”

"Of course, the presence of the Spanish crown prince is an honor for Catalonia!" Unexpectedly, Adolf agreed without thinking.

In Adolf's mind, he was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he always regarded himself as a loyal servant of Bourbon.

Campos himself is also loyal, if he hadn't been almost forced by the queen at the beginning, and there was nowhere to vent his resentment, even if the queen did a bad job, he would have sent troops to help.

In this case, as long as Alfonso is not too bad, they will gradually accept it.

What's more, Alfonso is beyond imagination, especially that face, ordinary people can't help but offer loyalty when they see it.

Adolf can resist the impulse, get along again, and inspect it, it is already considered to be determined.
