The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 58: Succession speech

On September 7, after a hastily meeting with Isabella and Napoleon, Alfonso went to the Paris Asterisk to deliver a succession speech.

I received the news that the square, which was crowded with people on weekdays, was already overcrowded at this time.

As Isabella didn't discuss with anyone in advance, she suddenly came here. Time was tight and the venue layout was very simple. The audience was mainly watching the lively Parisians.

The only people who really listened to the speech were the dignitaries of France and the diplomats of other countries.

Alfonso stepped onto the makeshift podium, feeling a little excited. He is now the ruler of a great power, although it is only a crane tail, it is still nominal.

He looked down and frowned. There were almost no Spaniards in the audience, and even French policemen kept order. Of course, these people would not give him the face of the Spanish king. The scene was very noisy.

Although in the era when there were no loudspeakers, his speech was only addressed to high-ranking officials sitting in the first row, but such noisy words would not even be heard by the people in the first row.

Fortunately, all Bonaparte's family came. He called the police chief next to him three times and ordered a few words. After a while, the scene calmed down.

"Cough." Alfonso cleared his throat. This speech was written by him after consideration. It may not be in line with his ideas, but it must have an appetite for the people and foreign powers.

"In this century, Spain has fallen into prolonged war and hunger. The once glorious motherland has lost most of its territory in the Americas." He maintained a steady voice and said slowly. The audience is not the group in front of them, so there is no need to be too excited.

"In the past 20 years, there have been more than ten major riots alone, and countless small-scale riots.

The government changes frequently, officials only profit for themselves, the country is impermanent and law impermanent. "

Alfonso tried his best to put the blame on the government, after all, Isabella is his mother.

"Just for a Salic succession law, opponents can burn the lives of hundreds of thousands of Spaniards. Can such gangsters hand over the country to them?

The methods were even more unscrupulous. My mother was assassinated three times during her reign. There was no honor at all. Would such a mob and killer build a country? "

"After I succeed to the throne, I will work to build a free, stable, prosperous and unified Spain.

Make sure that everyone has bread and the nation has dignity, so that the country will no longer be turbulent and the people will no longer shed blood.

I promise that, in the future, Spanish society will be a society without revenge and oppression! "

When Alfonso gave a speech, many people in the crowd held the manuscript and read it aloud to the surroundings to ensure that everyone in the square would know what he was talking about.

After hearing this speech, the people were very touched. Originally, they only heard that the King of Spain looked good and came to see new ones, but now they feel worthy of their French species.

In fact, the requirements of the people of different countries are the same. Western France, a power that has not been oppressed by foreign forces, what the people want is nothing more than worry about food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment.

When there is no revenge instigation, only the upper class likes to fight for hegemony, especially in this era of no benefit sharing, even if the country unifies the world, it will not do them any good.

Diplomats from various countries also rejoiced. Judging from Alfonso’s words alone, he has no thoughts on hegemony, but only hopes for stability in the country, which is great.

Spain occupies a small corner, and the only two countries to be hit are Portugal and France. The powerful powers do not pose a threat to all countries, and stability will also help them to do business.

Not only was the audience satisfied, but as the speech spread throughout Europe, the Spanish people were very satisfied after hearing about it.

Many people, including the liberal government, prefer to accept Alfonso, and the sentence of no revenge really touches their hearts.

The little people themselves have little chance of being hit. The king also said that there is no revenge, and he will not be ruthless to deal with ordinary government officials, right?

Only Carlos sneered at it as a player determined to rebuild the empire.

The whole article does not mention reclaiming lost ground and spreading faith. In their eyes, it is simply synonymous with weakness.

After hearing the speech, they publicly expressed their opposition immediately, affirming that the Salic succession law is the foundation of the country and that no matter how much sacrifice is made, it is worthwhile.

Moreover, Isabella and Alfonso usurped the throne, and they were the rebels. They were responsible for the people who died in the Carlos war.

When Alfonso knew the reaction of the parties, he had returned to Catalonia, which was his base camp.

Hearing the news from Governor Campos, he just smiled indifferently, "It's just a clown, don't worry about it."

As a true reactionary, the Carlos faction is really no-brainer in his opinion. My lord, the times have changed, and are they still expecting the Spanish empire to sweep Europe?

"What did Primm say?" The Carlos faction is definitely going to be destroyed, and Alfonso is more concerned about the news of the free government.

"It's a bit complicated..." Adolf said. The six-month-long career as the leader of the Progressive Guard has made him a bit more determined and cold than before.

"They did not say that they would support or not support you, but that Queen Isabella was not in Madrid and did not discuss with the Primm Regency, so she announced her abdication privately. It was illegal and invalid.

At the same time they are publicly looking for candidates for the throne, but the list has not yet been announced.

And there is intelligence showing that Primm is mobilizing the army, and Carlos’s people in the government are being purged. "

Alfonso laughed, he was so schizophrenic.

If the Primm government refused to admit to abdication, their king would still be Isabella, and the search for an heir was nothing more than opposition to the queen.

Most of them have made up their minds to fight Carlos first, but when the situation is unfavorable, they turn around and let Isabella abdicate again, and they can naturally support Alfonso.

If the situation is favorable, the initiative is in their hands. It is up to them whether to take Alfonso back as an overhead king or to establish a new king.
