Lord Hawkesburg reacted quickly, knowing where the Mainzer was steering the conversation, and immediately said, "This is not the topic of this meeting, and there's no need to explain the matters between our country and Portugal to you. Let's discuss the deployment of the Imperial Army instead."
He looked at Hillger with eyes full of threat.
But the latter seemed not to notice, shaking his head vigorously, "No, no, my Lord, I think it's important. You see, your arrival in Graz shows that your country intends to play a key role in German affairs, and your country's diplomatic credibility determines whether all this can be realized."
He smiled harmlessly, "Therefore, I hope you can introduce to everyone when your country plans to send an expeditionary force to South America according to the Anglo-Portuguese Hundred-Year Alliance."
