Mediterranean Hegemony Road

lisbon

Prime Minister Carmona, who is actually in power in the Portuguese Republic, is frowning. The news brought back by the Minister of Finance made him sleepless all night.

Whether to restore Manuel II is the most important test for him right now.

Whether it is agreed or rejected, it will have a profound impact on Portugal.

To some extent, both he and Manuel II are enemies of the republic, but enemies of enemies are not necessarily friends.

On the road of power, no one can make concessions, and he represents not only himself, but also a group of younger brothers who follow him.

Once Manuel II is successfully restored, the power of the monarchists will inevitably increase greatly. Even if they cannot impact their dominance, they will still get a share of the new political structure.

Rejection would be troublesome, God knows how Manuel II figured it out, and actually let external forces intervene, isn't this leading the wolf into the house?

No matter what he thinks, once he refuses everyone is the enemy.

There is the threat of the Yingbao outside, and the royalists are leading the way inside. Can he stop it?

There are also republicans who are suppressed by him, watching, ready to overthrow his rule at any time.

With so many troubles added together, Carmona also doubted whether their route was wrong?

The most mainstream line in the world is a constitutional monarchy and a republic, and the military dictatorship system is undoubtedly rare, and there are no successful examples.

It is not unreasonable that the power of the royalists has endured for a long time. Now the major powers in the world are constitutional monarchies, and the only representative of the republic is France.

But the problem is that the representative of France is not strong enough? After the end of the World War, the development speed of France lagged far behind the major powers.

Not only was it surpassed by Bulgaria, but the Austro-Hungarian Empire also caught up later. It seems that if it is not done well, France will be at the bottom of the great powers in the future.

This is also the reason why Carmona is not optimistic about the republic. The efficiency of governance is too low. Many policies have to be arguing in Congress, and the government is changed at every turn.

Compared with the efficiency of other countries, the French are undoubtedly the slowest in Europe, and they seem to be doing nothing.

The French have a strong foundation and can be self-willed, but Portugal absolutely can't, if it's so hard, it will be a pill sooner or later??!

"What do you think of this question, should we cooperate with the king?" Carmona asked

"Prime Minister, Manuel II is a waste, and he is simply incapable of controlling this country. It is really terrible for him to come to power!" Orisa Poss objected

"But the problem now is not Manuel II, but the support behind him to restore the British and Bulgarian countries. If this problem cannot be resolved, our regime may be overthrown at any time!" Salazar said

"We can ask the French for help, they don't want to see all of Europe is a monarchy!" Orisa Persia thought for a while and said

"It's useless, the French won't be worried? In the French parliament, there are seven levels of members who are inclined to the royalist party. If it weren't for the three major royalist parties to restrain each other, they would have been restored long ago!

Otherwise, why did the French never export the republic?

If they were worried about this problem, there would be no such two republics in Europe now! "Sinell said

The current situation is already considered good, and the royal power has been restricted. If it was left thirty or fifty years ago, the intervening army would have killed it long ago.

"However, let Manuel II be restored, and the royalists return to the political arena, and they will bring down Portugal!" Orisa Boss said angrily

"Then let them not come back. We can formulate a constitution in advance to limit the king's rights. Even if Manuel's restoration loses his rights, they will have no way to recover!" Sinel said

Obviously he has been persuaded. The British and Bulgarians want Portugal to be restored because of ideological needs. As for how much power the king has, it is simply out of their consideration.

"I decided to support the restoration of the king. Portugal is a signatory to the treaty of the infallibility of the king. Once we reject the proposal of the British Paul, they can legally send troops to intervene!

We can't risk the future of Portugal. Now that the king is restored, the situation is still within our control.

Besides, our king is not a master at playing tricks, otherwise he would not be fooled by the Republican Party several times and be kicked out of power. It is not difficult to evade him! "Antonio Oscar de Fragoso Carmona said cautiously

...

The last point is the key. Manuel II probably never dreamed that the reason why he was kicked out was because of his incompetence, and the reason why he can be restored now is still because of his incompetence!

Isn't he the best rubber stamp for such a weak-tempered king? Once he gave up his rights, it would be impossible for the next king to get them back.

The day before Christmas, the Portuguese parliament voted to announce the restoration of the constitutional monarchy, and Prime Minister Carmona publicly sent a message inviting Manuel to return to his country for restoration.

The whole world was shocked by this news, isn't it the promised dictator? How did he suddenly become a royalist party?

Could it be that he was originally a member of the royalist party and has never disclosed his identity?

Regardless of everyone's suspicions, the royal families of European countries highly praised Carmona's move, and sent congratulatory messages to Lisbon, and the governments of various countries quickly recognized the legitimacy of their regime.

We must know that more than ten years have passed since the Kingdom of Portugal abolished the royal power, and nearly half of the countries in Europe still do not recognize the legitimacy of their governments.

In diplomacy, it is also difficult. Many times, people don't take them to play.

Shocking is shocking, but the actual world influence is very limited.

Under the butterfly effect of Ferdinand, European governments have realized the importance of efficiency. The low efficiency of the republic is undoubtedly an important factor hindering the development of the country.

It is not without influence, the civil dispute broke out again in France, a large number of people took to the streets to shout slogans, and the streets and alleys were filled with chaotic slogans.

After the world's public opinion was attracted, the Carmona government quietly formulated a new Portuguese constitution, and the royal power was almost limited to the royal palace.

Manuel II also became the first king in the world to completely lose his rights. Even the right to dissolve the Congress must be under certain conditions before it can take effect.

In the government, if the king wants to dissolve the cabinet, he must first impeach the parliament, and it can only take effect after the approval of the parliament.

Without the right to appoint and remove personnel, can the king, who only has the right to nominate, still dominate politics?

Obviously, this is impossible. Many kings who retain the full power to appoint and remove personnel have been gradually emptied by the cabinet, let alone a king who has lost his power of personnel?

There is no right to appoint and remove personnel, and it is only the beginning. Financial power and military command power have also been deprived by the cabinet.

After the restoration of Manuel II, the remaining personnel appointment and removal rights were limited to officials in the royal palace; the only army that could be commanded was the Imperial Guard; financial rights were limited to controlling the royal annuity.

Maybe it was frightened, even the treaties concluded with foreign countries, after the king signed, must be signed by the prime minister of the cabinet to have legal effect.

Ferdinand couldn't help but praise Carmona's approach, which was really brilliant.

On the surface, if he supports the restoration of the king, he will greatly lose his rights. In fact, Manuel II can only give him a rubber stamp.

Judging from the new constitution, the king is still the nominal supreme leader of the Kingdom of Portugal. In fact, the word "spirit" should be added to this leader.

The laws and regulations set a new benchmark for the cabinets all over the world to limit the power of the king.

Of course, if you admire him, Ferdinand will never say good things about him. On this point, he must stand on the side of the king.

Otherwise, what if someone in Bulgaria follows suit? Ferdinand didn't care, no matter how the law changed, his rights would not be shaken.

However, the next generation will fail, so why should he pave the way for the next generation? Now the constitution is enough, and if the restrictions on royal power are strengthened, it will be a matter of time before they are emptied.

Bulgaria's law on the restriction of royal power was enacted more than fifty years ago, and it was made with the help of the Russians, referring to the Russian Constitution.

It can be said that it is relatively loose in the world. After all, the power of the tsar has not been restricted yet, so we know that Russia's constitutional monarchy is just a decoration.

Bulgaria is better, but the king has the power to appoint and remove personnel, financial power, military command power, and diplomatic power. It's just that you can't keep your word, and you have to be restricted by the government.

It doesn't apply to Ferdinand, that's because Bulgaria has developed and grown under his hands, he has been deified, and no one dares to challenge his majesty.

It is impossible for future generations. For example, Ferdinand will succeed immediately. Can he persuade the cabinet?

Obviously it doesn't exist, why should a little kid point fingers at them?

When it comes to political means, these people have N ways to deflate little Ferdinand, and there are still unspeakable sufferings.

Just like facing Stamborov's cabinet back then, Ferdinand only intervened in a few less important departments, and slowly broke through the breakthrough.

"Little Ferdinand, what do you think of the new Portuguese constitution?" Ferdinand asked

"This is simply terrible. If the cousin agrees to these conditions, he will be completely emptied!" Little Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"Then do you think he will agree?" Ferdinand asked with a smile

"No, such a constitution has seriously damaged his interests, and such a throne has no value.

It is estimated that the Carmona government did not want him to accept it completely. They will definitely bargain further, and the final result will not be so bad! "Little Ferdinand analyzed

"Well, normal people wouldn't accept such a constitution, but not necessarily your cousin, he has a weak temper and soft ears, so he's easy to be fooled by!

Right now, rights are no longer important to him. It is not rights that support him to stand up, but the sense of responsibility of the family and the honor of the nobility. He does not want to bear the title of king of subjugation to meet God! said Ferdinand, frowning.

"Father, it's impossible for that cousin to accept these conditions as they are. Now that there are so many people supporting him, there is absolutely no need to make such a big concession!" Little Ferdinand said uncertainly

"I don't know, he didn't receive a strict noble education, and he has always been under the wing of his father and brother. Whether it is ability or character, he is still far from a qualified king!

You are also a person who will get married soon, and you will have children in the future. You must be a warning in education. People with weak personalities appear in the palace. For the royal family, that is a disaster! " Ferdinand said earnestly

Little Ferdinand nodded thoughtfully. He somewhat understood why his father had to be strict with the brothers. It was all forced by reality.

"Father, since my cousin's personality is so flawed, why do you have to spend so much effort to restore him? Isn't it good to let him live an ordinary life?" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

He didn't think that the reason why Ferdinand restored Manuel II was so simple. A mere Portugal was not worth investing so much resources in.

Little Ferdinand just found out that as early as ten years ago, Ferdinand began to make preparations, otherwise there would not be so many people in the Carmona government who stood up to support the restoration.

"This is a matter of the previous generation. When I first arrived in Bulgaria, I had the support of his father. I must change this favor!

The rest is as you know it, increase Bulgaria's international influence and prepare for building an empire! "Ferdinand said lightly.

"It's that simple?" Little Ferdinand said in disbelief

"It's that simple. Many things are not as complicated as imagined. I am a king, but I am also an ordinary person. I also have emotions and desires, as well as grievances and hatreds!

Just to remind you, if I don't have time to finish building the Bulgarian Empire, you can't continue.

The reason must be clear to you, put away your ambitions, honestly farm for development, and just sit and watch the world! "Ferdinand thought for a while and said

"Father, why do you say that? With your arrangement, there is no possibility of failure?" Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

"Everything must be prepared for the worst. The current Bulgaria is actually a combination of multiple countries, and the establishment of an empire is nothing more than jurisprudence to clarify our dominance!

Even if it fails, it will not shake the foundation of this country. You just need to stabilize it. After one hundred and eighty years, the land we control will truly become Bulgaria.

I'm just planning for a rainy day to enhance the cohesion of the country, otherwise it's not worth my effort to spend so much energy for a mere reputation! ’ explained Ferdinand

Little Ferdinand nodded. He knew that what Ferdinand was doing now was not only for the future of Bulgaria.

Establishing a new empire will not only increase the cohesion of the country, but more importantly, it will lay the immortal foundation of the royal family.

As long as this empire exists, there must be an emperor, and it can only come from Ferdinand's descendants, otherwise it will not be recognized by the people at all.

This is caused by the special cultural inheritance of Europe. Once the Bulgarian Empire is established, the status of the Kohali family cannot be shaken.

When the royal family has become the core cohesion of the country, however the world situation is changing, before the empire collapses, no matter whether an individual or a political group comes to power, the status of the royal family must be guaranteed.
