Chapter 889 Joint Pressure

Wilder Pugot, who was authorized by the Queen of Spain, also wrote a letter to Ambassador Rafael Descart in Paris after returning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office.

In the letter, Wilder Pugot first praised Ambassador Rafael Descat's letter, and then told Rafael Descat: Her Majesty the Queen has agreed to Rafael Descat's proposal.

Please inform Rafael Descart to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the Kingdom of Spain is willing to cooperate with the French Empire on the issue of the Principality of Morocco, and is also willing to reach consensus with the French Empire on other matters...

After writing the letter, Wilder Progot put the envelope in the envelope and handed it to his secretary.

"Your Excellency, is this letter sent directly, or secretly sent to the Paris Embassy through special channels?" The secretary who held the letter in his hand immediately asked Wilder Pugot.

"Send it directly! There is nothing shameful in it!" Wilder Pugot said to the secretary without thinking.

"Yes!" The secretary put the letter into his pocket and left the office.

That night, the letter was sent from Madrid, and after a five-day journey, it finally arrived in Paris in early January of the following year.

The postman who was responsible for delivering the letter arrived at the gate of the Spanish Embassy in France and knocked on the door of the embassy.

After a while, Ragir appeared in front of the postman and asked him about his purpose.

"Here is a letter from your embassy, ​​please check it!" the postman said as he handed the letter to Ragir.

After receiving the letter, Ragiel took a look at the recipient column on the front of the envelope. It was indeed the head of the Spanish Embassy in France, and the address in the delivery column was Madrid.

"Madrid?" Ragir whispered, and then he immediately realized that this letter should have been sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Madrid.

However, what puzzled Ragiel was why the letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid was delivered directly to them instead of going through special channels.

Isn’t the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid afraid of leaks?

With such doubts, Ragiel came to Ambassador Rafael Descart's study and knocked on Ambassador Rafael Descart's door.

"Please come in!" Rafael Descart's calm voice came from the room.

Ragir entered the room, and then said to Rafael Descart, who was reviewing documents: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, the letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid has arrived!"

Rafael Descart raised his head, squinted his dim eyes and said to Ragiel: "Bring the letter over here!"

"Yes!" Ragir came to Rafael Descart and handed the letter into Rafael Descart's hands.

Rafael Descart first weighed the envelope, and then skillfully tore it open.

Looking inside through the torn hole, a piece of white letter paper lay quietly inside the envelope.

Immediately afterwards, Rafael Descat inserted the thumb and index finger of his right hand into the envelope and took out the letter paper inside the envelope.

After opening the folded letter and carefully reading the contents, Ambassador Rafael Descart showed a happy smile.

Seeing the joy on Ambassador Rafael Descart's face, Ragir also smiled and said to Rafael Descart: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid adopted your suggestion?

"

"That's right!" Rafael Descart nodded, then pushed the letter in front of Ragir across from him and said, "Here you go, read it yourself!"

Ragir took the letter from Rafael Descart's hand, and then carefully read every word.

After a while, Ragir also showed a smile on his face, "Your Excellency Ambassador, you succeeded!"

"It's too early to say success now! We must work hard to complete everything that follows!

During this period, we must take it seriously..." Although Rafael Descat said seriously, he always kept a smile on his lips, "Rajir!"

"Here!" Ragir quickly stood at attention and responded to Rafael Descart.

"You should prepare a carriage for me immediately. I will go to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in person to tell Minister De Luyins the news!" Rafael Descart said to Lagier.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, I think France should already know the contents of the letter!" Ragir said to Rafael Descart.

"Why is this?" Rafael Descart looked at Ragir in confusion.

Ragiel told Rafael Descart about the situation when he took the letter from the postman, and then expressed his thoughts: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, I must have accepted this letter when it arrived at the border between France and Spain.

Pass an inspection!

Minister De Luyins, I’m afraid he knows the content of the letter earlier than we do!”

"So we won't tell them? Moreover, how dare you conclude that Minister De Luyins must not know the content? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Rafael Descart asked Ragir in return.

Ragir showed an embarrassed expression and said to Rafael Descat: "These are just my guesses!"

"Since it's just speculation, everything is still unknown! You only have to do one thing now, and that is to go and prepare the carriage I need! Do you understand?" Rafael Descart said to Ragiel with a straight face.

One sentence.

To be honest, he is a little tired of this clever person now.

If it weren't for his father's sake, Rafael Descart would have sent Ragiel back to Madrid.

Ragir hurriedly went to prepare the carriage for Rafael Descart. After a while, Ragir returned again, "Your Excellency Ambassador, the carriage is ready!"

"Well! Thank you for your hard work! Just stay in the embassy and look after the house!" Rafael Descart responded to Ragir, and then walked slowly towards the door of the embassy.



Rafael Descart, who took a carriage to the Pier d'Orsay, rushed all the way and soon arrived near the Pier d'Orsay.

Rafael Descart, who got off the carriage, first ordered the driver to stand aside and wait, and then walked straight towards the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs alone.

Rafael Descat entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was immediately stopped by a secretary, who asked Rafael Descart's purpose and identity.

Rafael Descart told his secretary that he was the ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain and that he came here this time to have a conversation with Minister Deluins regarding the issue of the Principality of Morocco.

After listening to Rafael Descart's reply, the secretary immediately said to Rafael Descart, "Please follow me."

Rafael Descat followed the secretary to a guest room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Please wait a moment! Minister Lu Yins will be here soon!" The secretary bowed slightly to Rafael Descart and left.

About fifteen minutes later, Minister De Luyins entered the room, and behind him was also an interpreter.

After Minister De Luyins introduced the translator to Rafael Descart, the conversation between the two people officially began.

Rafael Descat told Minister de Luyins that the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is willing to work with France to put pressure on the Kingdom of Morocco and is also willing to improve relations between the two countries.

After hearing this, De Luyins also showed a happy smile on his face.

De Luyins told Rafael Descat that the French Empire was very grateful to the Kingdom of Spain for standing with them. He believed that with the joint efforts of the Kingdom of Spain and the French Empire, the Principality of Morocco would be able to realize its mistakes.

This leads to proactive coping strategies.

And he himself was pleased with the Kingdom of Spain's policy of actively embracing Europe (France). He believed that the relationship between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Spain would definitely become closer.



A few days later, Rafael Descart received a private invitation from the Tuileries Palace.

When Rafael Descart arrived at the Tuileries Palace, he immediately received a warm welcome from Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte, Empress Augusta, and Crown Prince Friedrich.

Rafael Descart suddenly felt flattered, and he hurriedly expressed to Jérôme Bonaparte that he was honored to receive the invitation from the Tuileries Palace.

During private banquets, Jérôme Bonaparte frequently invited Rafael Descart to drink with him.

After the whole banquet, Jérôme Bonaparte and Rafael Descart were very happy.

When leaving the banquet, Jerome Bonaparte asked Basilio to give him some gifts.

Rafael De Castele's favorability towards Jérôme Bonaparte also skyrocketed.



In February 1857, the French Minister to Morocco and the Spanish Minister to Morocco met under the orders of their respective foreign ministries. After a short discussion, the two chose to go to the royal palace in Rabat on February 10 to meet with Abou.

Du Sultan of Akhman.

When the two ambassadors arrived at the Rabat Palace, they were immediately blocked by the guards guarding the entrance to Rabat.

"What are you going to do?" the Guards asked the two ambassadors without a trace of warmth.

"We have been ordered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask your Majesty the Sultan some matters! Please go ahead and report!" The French Ambassador said with a hint of arrogance and malicious intent towards the Praetorian Guards.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will report it right away!

"Facing the arrogance of the French ambassador, the Guards responded politely to the French ambassador.

The Janissaries who entered the Rabat Palace quickly found the black eunuch living in the palace (a characteristic of the Ottoman Empire) and reported the incident to him.

The black eunuch hurried to Sultan Abdul Rahman's room and told the Sultan about the visit of the French and Spanish ambassadors.

"I knew they would never give up!"
