Chapter 31-Is It Just State-Owned Petroleum?

"Duke Constantine, regarding your request of the United States to support the Congolese Management Committee to manage the Congo River Basin, I have understood that the US government will consider this request, and you will get an accurate answer in two days." Chester stood up and said to Constantine.

　　This kind of diplomatic behavior between countries, the president can not make a decision alone, certainly need to consult with government officials.

　　"Of course, I will wait for your good news in New York."

　　Constantine breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that things were going well.

　　Turned and walked out of the room, leaving only President Chester.

　　Constantine, who walked to the hall, was seeing Sanford talking with Chris.

　　Chris sees Constantine appearing, her face is beaming, and quickly pulls a girl in full dress towards Constantine.

　　"Duke Constantine, this is the first time you have come to America?" Kris and the young girl came to Constantine and asked cordially.

　　"Yes, ma'am, are you?" Constantine was puzzled, wondering what exactly Kris was thinking of?

　　"Your Excellency, this is my daughter, Jelena," Kris introduced, pointing to the girl.

　　"Elena, this is the Duke of Constantine from Greece. This is the first time he has come to the United States. He is not familiar with the place of his life. As a master, you have to take care of it." Kris turned to Elena and said, her eyes kept turning towards Jelena gestured.

　　Constantine nodded to Elena, while Elena raised her skirt with her hands on her tip and bowed in a salute.

　　Seeing that the two had already known each other, Kris quietly left.

　　The atmosphere calmed down for a while, and Constantine, who didn't understand the situation, faced a young American girl who met for the first time, and didn't know what to talk about.

　　Mrs. Chrissy, who was separated from a pair of young men and women, came to Sanford and asked: "Mr. Sanford, can you tell us about the history of this Lord Duke from Greece?"

　　"Duke from the Greek royal family, his father is King George I of Greece, and his mother is Her Majesty Olga Queen of Greece," Sanford said.

　　"Ah, he will inherit the throne in the future?" Mrs. Chris covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened, and she was surprised.

　　"If there are no accidents, it should be," Sanford said.

　　"Then if they can really get married, Irina will not become the queen of Greece in the future," Mrs. Chrissy muttered to herself.

　　This image came to my mind: my daughter, wearing a golden crown inlaid with pearls and gems, and wearing a gorgeous costume, was walking on a red carpet. On both sides of the carpet were aristocratic men and women leaning over and saluting, with a respectful attitude.

Hearing Kriss' words, Sanford couldn't help laughing. Kriss's words were beyond his expectation. He thought that Mrs. Kriss would retreat after hearing Constantine's birth. .

　　"Oh, I want to tell Samuel this important news."

　　After speaking, Mrs. Kris hurriedly left, leaving Sanford who was dumbfounded.

　　As a government official serving as an ambassador in a European country, Sanford still has some understanding of European aristocratic marriages.

　　European nobles, especially royals, the husband and wife especially value each other's bloodliness. The consequences of intermarriage between nobles and concubines are very serious. If the wife of a country's king is a woman from a commoner (not a princess noble), his child will be Deprived of the right to inherit the throne.

　　Not only that, but his children will face an awkward situation in the marriage market, and they can only get married (marry).

　　In people's subconscious, the king's queen should be the princess of a certain country, the two parties with a long and noble bloodline, unite together, powerfully unite, and rule their subjects.

　　As for the fairy tale, the gray princess wearing crystal shoes met a prince who loved her deeply and lived a happy life from now on. This is indeed a romantic and reverie love story.

　　But it is just a story. If it happens in reality, people should sympathize with the Grey Princess, because her future will be dark.

　　Think of Ferdinand, the crown prince of Austro-Hungarian Empire in the original time and space. Because of the intermarriage of your concubine, her wife Sophie was despised by the entire aristocratic circle of Vienna. In order to make her happy, she took her to Sarajevo for inspection. Disaster.

　　Constantine looked at the girl in front of him, faced a girl who only knew the name, and didn't know what to say for a while.

　　At this time, the band began to play the classic tune, Blue Danube.

　　"Can you invite you to dance?" In order to resolve the embarrassment, Constantine had no choice but to make this move.

　　Irina readily agreed, and Constantine took Irina and walked towards the wider carpet in the middle of the banquet hall.

　　Holding Jelena's waist, the two danced lightly to the rhythm of the music, sometimes relaxing, Sometimes hurried.

　　Irina is undoubtedly a beauty, her long golden hair is as thick as a waterfall, shimmering brightly, and draped in front of and behind Irina's shoulders.

　　The blue eyes are as clear as the clear spring water, the firm and small nose, the delicate and white skin, the red blood, the slender eyebrows, and the two cherry lips are dripping red.

　　At the end of the song, the two came to rest in the corner, and they ran into Sanford who was alone.

　　Seeing Sanford, Elena motioned to Constantine and left with interest.

　　"Sanford, why did Mrs. Chris specifically introduce his daughter to me?" Constantine, who was still unknown, asked Sanford.

　　"Haha, Lord Duke, haven't you seen it yet? She wants to marry you," Sanford said.

　　"Huh?" It was only at this time that Constantine understood why Kris was so enthusiastic and kept asking about her situation.

　　The feeling is that the mother-in-law sees the son-in-law.

　　Then I thought about it again, and felt that it was impossible for both parties.

　　Can't help but shook his head.

　　"By the way, how did you talk to Mr. President about the Congo River Basin? What is his attitude?" Sanford said solemnly.

　　"President Chester's attitude is basically in favor, but he needs two days to consider it. In my opinion, the problem is not big," Constantine said.

　　"Mr. Constantine?"

　　The two turned around and saw Rockefeller walking towards them.

　　"I heard that the management committee that you support will get the right to manage Congo?" Rockefeller asked.

　　"En?" To be honest, after coming to the United States, in addition to the three of them, Constantine also leaked the news of the Congo to President Chester just now. Isn't it spreading too quickly?

　　"How to say?" Constantine really didn't understand what Rockefeller asked Congo to do. Does the oil king still have the idea of ​​colonizing?

　　"Do you think there will be oil resources in Congo?" Rockefeller asked.
