Desai's speeches were drafted by him personally, and during this period, they were "borrowed". Well, the time traveler admitted that he had plagiarized the fragments of a US president's speech, Franklin Roosevelt.

In addition to exaggerating the successful development model of Gruna to the guests present, emphasizing respect for the freedom of religious belief of Catholics, and advocating his outstanding achievements in the fields of industrial development and people's livelihood, Desai also expressed his willingness to promote this experience in the Grand Catalonia region. The core essence is to prepare for public opinion for influencing Barcelona and even Grand Catalonia.

In terms of historical status, Catalonia has always been a bridge between the European continent (France) and the politics, economy and culture of the Iberis Peninsula. It belongs to a typical European type. Its ethnicity (race) is related to the southern provinces of France. More often, Catalans' mentality of getting close to France is much stronger than that of all parts of Spain. In Barcelona, ​​French is used more frequently than Madrid's official Spanish, becoming the second largest language beyond Catalan.

Since the end of the French-Austrian War, the British Expeditionary Force lost Spain for the second time and retreated into Portugal, the Spanish rebel forces have suffered heavy losses and can only barely stick to the junction with the Portuguese border, as well as some territories along the southeastern coast. The French army has regained the initiative in the peninsula war. As a result, people from all walks of life in Catalonia no longer have much hope for the prospects of the Honta regime in Selivia (Spain's interim central government), and all factions are looking for their own way out.

Therefore, the orthodox status of the Joseph dynasty and the cooperation with the French leaders required the new country to implement enlightened political reforms, which can protect private property, life security and the right to express ideas for everyone, promote people's livelihood, develop the economy, and on this basis, obtain limited national autonomy for Catalonia. This was originally the political proposition of Catalonian liberals (most of the pro-French factions come from this kind of faction), but now it has become the mainstream idea that has emerged in Barcelona and other places.

Whether it is aristocrats, priests, local officials, merchants, bankers, ordinary citizens, as well as major newspapers and magazines in various cities, they are actively promoting the recognition of King Joseph's fait accompli, hoping that Emperor Napoleon's brother could give the Catalan National Assembly the self-sacrifice, bring peace and stability to the local people, and a resurgence of industry and commerce.

But soon, the Barcelona were disappointed. The above-mentioned political wishes were just their wishful and innocent thoughts. Louis Joseph might be a kind king, but the new king's decree did not leave Madrid. All Spanish territories occupied by the French army, including the Catalonian region, actually formed a warlord separatist and ruled independently. For example, Marshal Sirte was in the provinces on the border with Spain between Portugal and Spain, General Juno was in the counties near Madrid, General Xuche (not yet promoted to marshal) was in Valencia and the central and southern parts, and the original General Saint-Siler was in the Catalonian region, etc.

These French marshals and generals were powerful in their respective jurisdictions, arrogant and domineering, controlling all resources such as military and political affairs, and financial resources, which was no less than the emperor's title of Grand Duke Khruna. All they lacked was a nominal title. They followed Napoleon's direct orders, ignored the local people's livelihood and plans, and were also for themselves, burned, killed, and looted, trying their best to obtain all kinds of wealth in the occupied areas. Since 1809, Spain was second only to Italy, and in fact became the second most important source of wealth for the French emperor on the European continent. For example, in 17 months, General Xu Xie alone seized 200 million riyals in the province of Valencia, equivalent to 40 million francs.

If there were no time travelers, the Catalis in history eventually gave up their attitude of cooperation with the invaders. At the turn of summer and autumn in 1810, the Catalis Parliament reached an understanding with the "Catis Parliament" representing the Spanish central government (originally located in Seville and moved to Cadiz). Soon, the Catalis received military assistance from the British and the "Catis Parliament". They picked up their weapons and began to launch armed uprisings everywhere in the provinces of Gruna, Barcelona, ​​Taragona, and Lerida to resist the exploitation and exploitation of the French occupation forces.

But now, the Barcelona who represent Catalonia seems to have discovered a completely new, peaceful choice: the "Gruna model".

The priests praised the Duke of Desay for the authority of Roman Catholicism. The rulers of the dominant and the senior military and political leaders entered the church regularly to perform spiritual baptism and pray;

The nobles felt that Grand Duke Hruna respected the national customs of the Catalans and often invited them to participate in political affairs and provide advice on the development of the Dominion;

Merchants from all over the country are no longer afraid of extortion and exploitation of the occupying troops, because when the complaints are received, there will be someone who will seriously investigate and deal with soldiers and officers with corrupt military discipline;

The safety of life of ordinary citizens is also guaranteed, and it is also surprising to find that the income of working in the safe village of Gruna is actually higher than that of economically developed Barcelona;

As for the immigrant Poles and Irish people, the Catalans did not have much disgust because they all share the common religious beliefs and Roman Catholicism.

Unfortunately, Desai is only the ruler of the Dominion of Gruna, not the Grand Duke of the entire Catalonia. While the Catalans envy Gruna's tolerant politics, the rapidly developing industrial economy, and various people-friendly policies, liberals representing the people and made appeals in the newspapers, hoping that Marshal Ogero, who had just taken office, would copy the "Hruna model" and become the second Duke of Desai.

All of this triggered a strong rebound of "barbarous bandits". Marshal Ogero directly sent a large number of military and police to seize the two newspapers with the most powerful propaganda, and threw more than a dozen well-known people into prison, resulting in constant demonstrations and demonstrations by people from all walks of life. If Grand Duke Khruna had not competed with him, and had swept and bribed officers at all levels of the French army stationed in the area, successfully undermining Marshal Ogero's military and political power, appeased the Barcelona Municipal Hall authorities, and supported the final resolution of the High Court's re-arguing of the Catalan liberals, perhaps the turbulent city of Barcelona would have a sign of a major riot at any time.

Of course, when things develop to this point, there is no room for a look back. In the literary salon, in the public cafe, and in the noble secret rooms where afternoon tea begins, a new kind of thought began to spread. Many middle and upper-class people in Barcelona, ​​through the Interior Officials of the Dominant Gruna, requested the Duke of Desay to come to Barcelona and secretly supported the latter to become the Grand Duke or King of the entire Catalonia.

Through Professor Sai's letter report and information feedback from the Military Intelligence Bureau, Desai knew that the essence behind this new trend of thought - the essence of the movement was another way for 3 million Catalan people to peacefully seek political aspirations. In this regard, the Duke of Desai and the Inner Administrator of Sai were consistent with the views of both the views and were neither ready to accept nor oppose it, but just appropriately promoted the fire and observed secretly.

After all, the sudden transition from Grand Duke Hruna to a king who controls more than 3 million Catalans is too risky. First, this will seriously touch the bottom line that Emperor Napoleon could accept; second, he is not ready to accept all the Catalonian regions; but more importantly, in Southern Catalonia and Palma Island, a large number of resistance armed forces are still lurking or openly exposed. They are tough in their attitudes. Despite their successive setbacks, they have never changed their hostility to the French and Desai.

According to the terms of the peace agreement reached with the British, the Desai Division could not take the initiative to encircle and suppress the Spanish resistance forces unless the latter violated the interests of Hruna in the first place. Therefore, in the last part of the speech, Desai expressed his thoughts vaguely:

"Here, I can tell you that as long as the military and political chiefs and municipal councils at all levels in Catalonia jointly send us such invitations, the Dominic Dominion of Hruna is willing to shoulder the common responsibility of revival with it, and on the basis of common interests and mutual respect, in addition to military cooperation in all aspects and fields, including politics, economy, education, talent, medical care, etc. I have handed over the full authority to the Interior Official, and Professor Say is responsible for handling the specific matters. (Applause)

In more than 20 days, it will be the annual Christmas. Tonight, I will praise the kind God because the Lord has given us the belief in upholding justice and progress. I will also pay tribute to the contributions of all Christians in Catalonia and once again express my determination to make unremitting efforts to build a prosperous and prosperous Greater Catalonia region including Gruna and Barcelona! (Applause)

Finally, thank you for taking the time to visit tonight and listening to a young man dressed up as an old guy. (Laughter)

Now, let us raise our wine glasses and may the Great Catalonia, which is bathed in the glory of God, prosper and prosper more!”

The speech for more than 40 minutes finally ended. Desai, who held up the wine glass, had already conveyed an implicit message to everyone. He respected the political demands of various factions in Catalonia and would never send troops to suppress politicians who oppose him openly and secretly. The cooperation between the two sides is based on equality and mutual benefit, and was produced after being approved by most Catalans.

All the guests present were elites from the political and business circles. Of course they could hear that Duke Hruna had rejected the temptation of the Grand Catalonian monarch. While everyone was sorry, they were even more grateful for their original choice. Duke Desai was not a greedy or cruel person after all. With the support of liberal aristocrats and merchants, with the influence of Desai on the French army in various parts of Catalonia, Kruna's development model and semi-** political demands were not impossible.
