In the mayor's residence of Barcelona, ​​as Carl and the Black Dragon Army arrived southward to the outskirts of Barcelona, ​​the current mayor of Barcelona, ​​Marquis Eden Leonard, also welcomed an uninvited guest.

Mayor Leonard looked at Aragon, the leader of the Catalan Independent Organization, who was at the top of the wanted list of the Kingdom of Spain, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

In his impression, the leader of the Catalan Independent Organization, whose pseudonym Aragon, was not a brave person. The other party’s best ability was to hide his whereabouts and even his past.

So much so that many senior officials of the Kingdom of Spain now know that Aragon is not his real name, but he cannot find the true birthplace and real name of Aragon.

Even Aragon’s past before becoming the leader of the Catalonian Independent Organization was not clear. There are several kinds of information, most of which were deliberately revealed by the Catalonian Independent Organization led by Aragon, which was confusing the public.

Of course, Aragon was able to do this because of his outstanding hidden ability, nor was it because of his perfect underground work of the Catalonian independent organization. The most important reason was that the intelligence agencies of the Spanish royal family, like the aristocratic bureaucratic class of the Spanish Kingdom, had long been corrupt and degenerate.

Of course, in Europe in this era, the intelligence system in which the Spanish Kingdom was rotten to the bottom was not an exception. Many European monarchical countries did not care too much about establishing precise intelligence agencies, or could not establish perfect intelligence agencies with great effort.

Those places where the great nobles don't want all their secrets to be placed in front of the king's table.

The essence of the feudal system was destined to be unable to centralize the central government. The European king who wanted to establish a perfect and precise intelligence organization and was only responsible to the king, which was purely a delusion!

If you want to establish a national intelligence system that is only responsible to the monarch, you must first complete centralization!

This step process is difficult to change.

Therefore, even Aragon, the leader of the Catalan Independent Organization, can live leisurely in the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, and even develop their own people who are implanted in the Catalan Independent Organization in most militias in the Catalan region!

The Catalan region has a huge independent advantage, which is its independent and complete local ethnic language and script - Catalan.

It is precisely the language that the vast majority of Catalans have never truly returned to the Spanish Kingdom and have always believed that they are ruled by the 'foreign government'.

This is actually a very obvious obstacle to rule, but Li Wei has always not understood why the Spanish Kingdom did not learn from Qin Shihuang and had a "book and text car and track"?

Is it because of fear of civil war?

However, considering that the feudal aristocrats from all over the Kingdom of Spain still hold local military and political power, and the Madrid government has not even completed its local centralization, it is not difficult to understand why the spiritual culture of the Catalans has been slow to be cut off.

It can be said that Europe has always maintained a fragmented state. The most fundamental reason is that the feudal system is deeply rooted. This is not only the result of the church's promotion, but also directly related to some of the great emperors born in European history.

For example, Charlemagne, who almost unified Europe, before his death, simply divided the huge empire he captured into three and divided it to his three sons, forming the prototype of the current European and Italian regions, France and Germany regions!

If the Charlemagne Empire had not divided itself, it would be the combination of Germany, France and Italy now, which can be said to have condensed the most essence of Central and Western Europe!

The most tragic thing is that the Charlemagne Empire was only unified in the hands of an emperor. The unification time was too short, and the people and even the nobles below fell apart without the idea of ​​forming a unified unity.

The churches of that period did not have the ability to shit on Charlemagne’s head!

Therefore, the fragmentation of Europe was purely done by the ancestors of these white European men. There was no prospect of great unity, and they just wanted to let their descendants bloom everywhere and reproduce safely...

Of course, the European feudal system cannot be said to be useless. It is precisely because of this feudal system that "father is kind and son is filial" rarely appears in the Eastern court, so most of those very ancient nobles retained the inheritance of their offspring.

Unlike the Eastern world, the demise of dynasties often means that the royal family is killed!

Therefore, the family conflicts between European royal nobles are relatively peaceful. They will not stab their brothers at any time, and they will not be careful of their son. The son is thinking about how to kill his father to succeed to the throne...

Who said that the throne of power in Europe is not tempting enough?

Marquis Leonard looked at Aragon, who was taken in by the guards and was empty-handed, and poured two glasses of wine from the Bordeaux region of France and handed one of them politely to Aragon.

"I didn't expect that the rumored heroic leader of the Catalan people would fall into my hands.

Should I gather everyone and celebrate?”

Aragon took the red wine, and without any politeness, drank it all without any gentlemanly. His movements and expressions did not hide the "earth spirit" from the local people at all.

"If Marquis Leonard had this idea, I would not have entered your residence at all.

Since Marquis Leonard is willing to see me, he should have no confidence in the tens of thousands of Black Dragon Legion outside the city.”

"Black Dragon Legion?

Haha, Mr. Aragon's call was so smooth that it seemed that he had defected to the rebels of Levi.

Levi is just a rebellious baron in France, and is worthy of your contribution to your loyalty?”

"Mr. Marquis is thinking too much. I am just representing Catalonia's people who desire independence and cooperate with Levi. You Spaniards cannot rule Catalonia, and Levi is also impossible to become the king of Catalonia.

Of course, as allies, our Catalan people have received help from Lord Levi and must have reciprocity and provide some convenience for Lord Levi's Black Dragon Legion.

The Spanish royal family was corrupt and incompetent. Carlos IV had no political acumen and made frequent tricks. After joining the anti-French alliance, he had a good hand of cards and offended Li Wei because of his greed.

This is a gift Carlos IV took the initiative to give us Catalans, how could I refuse?

Marquis Leonard, I know that your ancestors were not nobles of the Casti Dynasty. Your family was originally loyal to the Aragon dynasty, so we can also be considered a family."
