The successive rebuttals from the two individuals made Ruiz's expression change unpredictably, and he turned his gaze to Prime Minister Prim.
Prime Minister Prim knew Ruiz's intentions well, but if he were to follow Ruiz's idea, Spain might face division.
"The government naturally respects the sovereignty of the Royal Family." Prime Minister Prim concluded the matter, speaking slowly: "Cooperating with the Royal Family to develop the land in the Congo River Basin is inevitable, that is one thing."
Upon hearing Prime Minister Prim say this, Ruiz could only sit down, realizing that he had been utterly defeated in this debate.
"Your Majesty, does anyone else know about the expedition team's actions?" After ending the debate, Prime Minister Prim finally turned his gaze to Carlo and posed his question.
The confidentiality of the expedition is extremely important. If it cannot be kept secret, while Spain is colonizing, the land will attract other colonizers as well.
