The next day, Zana and the others came up with a new financing package.

Valued at £2 million, the Bonapartist royal family and a few of his loyal relatives had 30 per cent, the Bourbon and Orleans nobles 15 per cent each, and the rest shared the remaining 5 per cent.

Compared with the previous plan, the biggest difference now is that the share of Alfonso's two relatives has been greatly increased.

Undoubtedly, this distribution plan has upset many people, who immediately proposed to raise the valuation to £2 million, but it was too late.

Several companies left the meeting in anger and gave up the financing.

Although the other party was afraid of Wal-Mart's power and did not say anything cruel, everyone could see that they were ready to build their own supermarket.

"So that's the way it is... It provoked a lot of people. Zana reported a little uncomfortably.

Alfonso was smiling and happy, if all went well, he would have the current royal family (Bonaparte), the next royal family (Bourbon), and the next royal family (Orleans), who could compete with him.

"If you mess with it, you can mess with it." He said indifferently: "Remember to urge them, the money must arrive as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay development."

In addition, the royal family's money can be slowed down, paid in several batches, and it is still a little difficult for them to take out 600,000 at a time.

And even if you take it, it's not easy to get it all at once, and the people will suspect corruption. ”

……

Bidding farewell to Zana, Alfonso returned to the Élysée Palace, with whom Napoleon had already had a brief conversation the other day, but it was not long in time, and many questions had not yet been clarified.

Just take advantage of this financing to talk about everything together.

When he pushed the door and entered the lounge, the royal family was here, and he was like a waste man on the sofa, after all, he was a 60-year-old man, and the high-intensity work in the past two days was really unbearable.

"Alfonso, come and sit." Still sharp-eyed, he was very happy to see him coming, patted the sofa chair, and motioned for two people to squeeze a chair.

Alfonso didn't listen to him, and sat down on the sofa opposite Nasan, which made him feel like an equal.

Seeing him, Nasan sat up a little straighter.

"Your Majesty, you know the results of this financing, the 600,000 of the Bonaparte family can be taken slowly, there is no need to rush." Alfonso said with a little respect.

Although he seeks equality, whether it is France versus Catalonia or elders versus juniors, his posture should be lowered.

"Hmm." Nasan nodded, he was actually not satisfied with the results of this financing.

Originally, he was quite happy to see that he had 30% of the total, but suddenly found that Orleans and Bourbon combined, they were actually the same as his own share!

That is, in Europe, in the East, a crime of conspiracy and rebellion cannot escape.

But then again, it's hard to have a country with three royal factions in the East.

…

Although he was not very happy in his heart, Nasan was not going to do anything about it, and he still had this kind of self-cultivation.

He was more concerned about another thing: "I heard that you established a Prussian-like three-tier military service system in Catalonia, right?" ”

Alfonso shook his head: "I can't say it's similar, I can only say it's exactly the same, but because of the demand, the temporary service period will be much shorter." ”

Hearing this, Nasan was very envious, he sighed and said: "If you say you can change it, you can change it in a few months, it's good."

You don't know how strong the opposition to the reform of military service is in France, I just want to reform it to a two-class military service system, but the progress is quite slow.

And there is also a lot of resistance to the Mobile Guard program. ”

Alfonso looked at him with some sympathy, he knew everything about it.

Historically, after Marshal Neal became Minister of War, at the behest of Nasan, he began to carry out military service reform in 1868, changing the seven-year military service system to five years of military service and four years of reserve, and this reform has been somewhat successful.

However, the same reason as Alfonso's establishment of the four-month rotation system in Catalonia, the war is approaching, and such a military service system cannot create too many reserves in a short period of time, and it takes nearly ten years of accumulation to do it, not to mention that in the early stage of the reform, the implementation was not very thorough.

By the time the war began next year, France would have 90,000 reservists.

It was too difficult for a country as large as France to establish a few months of short-term military service, so they thought of something else.

It is to form mobile guards in various places, with an estimated size of 400,000, and the cannons that were seized in Catalonia are used for this.

However, due to the leftists' fear of the strengthening of **** politics, the mobile guard unit that was finally established was forbidden to be transferred out of the source of soldiers.

Therefore, it is difficult to serve as a reserve, and the final size is far from 400,000.

……

It hasn't progressed to such a bad moment in history yet, but Nasan has seen some clues.

"In the recent parliamentary elections, we tried to increase the number of seats in the Conservative Party, but the results were not very significant.

There are also threats that if we insist on military service reform and the formation of mobile guards, it will further arouse popular opposition. "Take the three major and spit out bitter water.

He was tired and angry these days, and only Alfonso, a foreign monarch who was theoretically equal to him, was the best person to talk to.

"Those people are traitors, and it is not for the sake of France that we are increasing our reserves." Na4 chimed in.

Seeing that both father and son were a little angry about this, what else could Alfonso say?

He could only comfort him with some disobedience: "It's okay, France's active army alone can sweep across the European continent." ”

Nasi nodded approvingly, but Nasan was a little more sensible: "The Prussian army is only slightly smaller than ours, and the sweep is not enough, it can only be said that the other side can be completely defeated." ”

Alfonso was a little speechless, how could Nasan think that there were too many of them.

Don't think that if you have more standing troops than the other side, you really have more than the other side.

The reality is not a game, and there is an army ceiling, which limits the reserve force and can only be used to replenish the army.

In fact, it didn't take long for Prussia to mobilize its entire reserves, more than a million people......

But soon he knew where Nasan's confidence came from.

As if to see Alfonso's skeptical gaze, Nasan expounded his thoughts:

"I know that Prussia can mobilize some reserves, but those armies are neglected to train, and the same number will not be an opponent of France.

In addition, South Germany will undoubtedly be on my side, Austria-Hungary will also want revenge, and Italy will be reunified by me, and I must reciprocate it. Add it up to more than 1.2 million troops. ”

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and he proposed: "Either Catalonia can also join the coalition army, 50,000 troops are enough, and there is no need to make much effort, just for the sake of public opinion, France will not be stingy with returns." ”

Good guys, there is such a calculation, in fact, France does not have a single ally, it is France that singles out Prussia + South Germany.

Of course, what Nasan said makes sense, but his allies are limited to imagination, and they don't send people to contact at all, and it is not realistic to expect others to take the initiative to come over and help in the fight.

Alfonso pretended to be tempted, and after thinking about it for a while, he politely refused: "Your Majesty, I really want to get involved, but I need to guard against other forces in the country, and I don't have the skills. ”
