Of course, saying that Enrique was in full charge, Alfonso turned around and called Adolf, urging him to pay more attention to the matter:

"Let the Progressive Guard do a good job of vetting, and if a priest's assets are determined to be significantly higher than those of the same group, you can report back to me."

Adolf took on this task with a bitter face, not because he was afraid of offending his colleagues, but because the Progressive Guard did not have a professional discipline inspection department, and it was inevitable to spend more energy on this kind of thing.

Seeing this, Alfonso could only sigh silently, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart that it was time to set up a professional discipline inspection committee, and it was difficult to eradicate corruption from the root by purely relying on force to subdue the world.

……

The following week, the executions in Plaza Mayor went ahead, and the investigation into church assets in the country was steadily advancing.

Even if they knew that the government was conducting this investigation for the purpose of confiscating the property in the future, the clergy did not dare to provoke any more conflicts, and the only thing they could do was to use all means to transfer the property outward.

Unfortunately, the Treasury is staring at this matter, and any suspicious transfers on the surface will be subject to strict scrutiny.

The departure of clergy and their relatives is also temporarily restricted.

Coupled with severe punishments, the only thing left for the church is to obediently accept its fate.

……

At the same time, the months-long French referendum is nearing its end.

The alliance of the Orleanists and the Orthodox faction won the final victory without any suspense.

As far as Alfonso knows, the other side did not take any special measures, but won the referendum by a landslide vote.

There was no way, both Bonaparte and the republicans made compromises to Prussia one after another, only the Bourbons did not.

According to the previously agreed plan, Henry of the Orthodox Bourbon faction will be king, and Louis Philippe of the Orleans faction will be the crown prince.

One of them is 51 years old and the other is 33 years old, and they are both reasonable in age.

There is no question of legitimacy, the latter is a distant cousin of the former, and in the absence of an heir to Henry, Louis Philippe theoretically has the right to inherit it, although he is far away.

The French population therefore generally accepted this result and expressed their pleasure to see their homeland free from another dispute over the throne.

Historically, Henry has gone about the same way, only he gave up because of the problem with the flag pattern.

And this time...... This time was no exception, and even though Alfonso had already persuaded him, and even wrote more than one letter to him, Henry stubbornly refused any compromise.

He repeatedly stated in public that he must exchange the flag for lilies.

Fortunately, the Bourbon League is much stronger today than it has been in history, and if Henry must fulfill the Lily Flag, then they are willing to fulfill this small wish for the king.

So, in the immediate aftermath of the referendum, the French government held a smaller vote in the provincial capitals to change the flag.

Basically, as long as the vote isn't outrageously bad, there's no problem switching back to the Lily Flag.

- That's what the French have been busy with lately.

After reading the news, Alfonso was quite a little crying and laughing, no wonder the referendum is over, and the French throne is still undecided.

As for Nasan, who failed in the election, Alfonso paid special attention to him.

After the defeat of Nasan, he initially wanted to form an opposition party similar to the orthodox faction, which was called the Bonaparte faction.

It's a pity that not every royal family is as entrenched as Bourbon.

Henry was temporarily entangled with the banner and had no time to care about him, but Louis Philippe warned him:

"If you still want to maintain your claim to the throne, we will expel the entire House of Bonaparte."

There is no doubt that the current Bourbon definitely has this strength.

The treason charge for Nasan's surrender to Prussia has not yet been tried, and the fact that no one mentions it does not mean that everyone has forgotten it.

The king of France could have initiated the trial of Nasan at any time, and Nasan had no way to fight back.

It stands to reason that the royalists don't care whether the "king" is at home or abroad, and it doesn't matter if he is expelled.

But Nasan cares, the Bonaparte family has a great cause, and if they are really driven out of France for an excuse, then how much will happen to France to welcome them back.

Therefore, Nasan has already said in public that since he has failed, he will take the initiative to abdicate, and he will not serve as the king of France again in this life, nor will he take any means to put himself or his descendants on the throne of France.

Obviously, Nasan was careful, and he only admitted that he had abdicated, and did not mean that the Bonaparte family had renounced their claim to the throne.

This, of course, did not satisfy Louis Philippe, and he dismissed the Red Prince Paul and a number of other Bonapartians who were still in office.

Although he didn't say it, he knew that he didn't want to hold any position in the French government anymore if he took three or four.

From now on, if nothing else, the Bonapartes would be a wealthy commoner family, without any title or official position.

After reading these reports, Alfonso sighed very emotionally in his heart, Bonaparte only occupied a special name, and could be crowned king of France twice, and the legitimacy is incomparable with other traditional royal families.

This crushing defeat to Prussia turned this name into a dream, and in his eyes, Bonaparte had no chance.

Fortunately, Bonaparte still has a lot of industries in France, and Valencia's gambling business is gradually on the right track, so it is not difficult to maintain a decent upper class life.

Outside of France, Prussia was a little more aggressive.

After all, they are the victors, and the atmosphere in the country should be more united and stable.

Although they owe a lot of debt, Britain has just lent it out and is in no hurry to let them pay it back.

Moreover, the income of North Germany was not as good as that of France, but the wealth of the people was still excessive, and it was very easy to turn around when it was necessary.

As for the 400 million francs war reparations paid by France to Prussia, it had been paid off two months earlier, and Prussia used this money to pay compensation to the soldiers killed and wounded in the war, and to pay some additional money to make some compensation to several cities west of South Germany and Frankfurt.

Originally, Hesse and other countries were not very happy to follow Prussia as an invader, and they preferred to join the Austro-Hungarian sphere of influence with Bavaria.

But after this money, the vast majority of opposition voices died down, and it was generally believed that Prussia's big brother was okay.

Under the Prussian money offensive, the North German Confederation had stabilized considerably, and showed no signs of disintegration.

At present, some newspapers in Germany are vigorously advocating the unity of the Germans, hoping to better integrate themselves to deal with threats from all sides.

There has been no official movement in Prussia yet, but according to Alfonso's observations, the German Empire should have been in the past two months.
