Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Your Majesty, now we have been gradually secured. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has started contact activities with our plenipotentiary ambassadors from various continents around the world. Our plans have been arranged. Eugene, Miguel, Yan, Javier and Jeb have conveyed our thoughts to the missions of various countries. Now countries are obviously aware that our convening of ambassadors from various continents may have major changes. Now, this is As His Majesty said, we have succeeded and won publicity for free again. But Your Majesty, apart from these, we seem to still have some things that we don’t quite understand." Chavez saw Alfonso and saw His Majesty's calm eyes. , and then continued:

"That's right, this time, why are we doing this? It seems that this puts our followers at risk of forming their own independent group."

Chavez didn't quite understand. His Majesty actually asked Spain's major allies to form a group together to form a common security and economic system that Spain would join in various regions. This worried Chavez. He was worried that one day, these The younger brothers of Spain will, after becoming powerful to a certain extent and driven by ambition, take off the collars that Spain hangs around their necks and pursue a more independent policy without Spain. Even if there is an interest dispute or conflict of interest with Spain, this group will be completely used against Spain. No matter how you look at it, this seems to be enough to make Chavez feel that such an action seems to be more gain than loss.

Trini also looked at His Majesty with deep sympathy, but he didn't quite understand either. Why would Your Majesty do this? After all, in addition to economic interests, in today's society, if a powerful country does not have too many allies to support it, even if it is as powerful as the United Kingdom, it will lose its interests when facing the German Empire. Under the circumstances of the German couple's drive and the use of force to suppress the Germans on their own, they chose to temporarily make peace with Tsarist Russia and France, their two rivals in the past hundreds of years.

Visible, in military and political terms. A loyal ally. What a role it is. Now Spain has gained many allies. Among the die-hards are Portugal, the four old countries in South America (Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador), Thailand, the Rashid Kingdom on the Arabian Peninsula in the Middle East, and others such as Venezuela, Colombia, and the Lu Xun government in Nanjing were a little behind. As well as allies such as Mexico, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire, which are at the third level driven by economics. Then there are temporary strategic partners such as Norway, Sweden and Japan in Northern Europe. There is also unclear strategic cooperation between Britain, Germany and France, as well as competing rivals and partners. Followed by Tsarist Russia, France, the United States, etc. There are countries that are at odds with each other but still have diplomatic relations with them.

These constitute the political status occupied by Spain in the current international political system. These have now been shown. In fact, Spain does not really need to update its foreign policy structure. After all, compared to Spain, colonial powers such as France and Britain are now experiencing gunfire and chaos in their respective colonies every day.

Relatively speaking, Spain is definitely the calmest big country in handling international relations. Even other major countries have established systems dedicated to studying Spanish foreign policy. In disguise, they have to admit how great Spanish diplomacy is now.

Alfonso looked at the confused expressions of the two people, and he didn't know what these guys were thinking. Although he had to admit that he also admired how well he was handling Spain's diplomacy, but these two people in front of him, What I don’t know is that that was during peacetime, when economic interests were the main focus. Now to be honest, although Spain’s current military has made great progress due to these years of hard work, , when facing the German Empire and Britain, he was absolutely not narcissistic and believed that the country he built could achieve final victory one-on-one without obstruction or trouble from other countries. Spain's allies, seemingly Many of them were also very loyal when hacked to death. However, in the eyes of Alfonso who came from later generations, this was actually a bit uneasy and worrying.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. These allies are located in all continents of the world. In fact, among these allies, except for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire on the shores of the Mediterranean and Portugal beside them, those countries can actually protect themselves pretty well. After all, if Spain is in a stalemate with others such as Britain, the German Empire, and France, then the German Empire in history, except for the European continent that was surrounded by dumpling strategies, is very likely to fall back to Spain. Overhead, the colonies were carved up by the world powers Britain, France and regional powers such as the United States, Japan and Russia. Allied countries such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire Turkey were also divided into pieces. Those smaller colonies or allies were immediately driven by interests. Under such circumstances, turning around and joining the new master is not impossible, but very possible. Spain can build this. , Alfonso spent a lot of mental and physical energy, and even said that in fact, this country has become almost like another son to him. Watching it grow and mature little by little makes him very happy, so , he will not let anyone destroy or harm it easily, absolutely not.

Alfonso did not answer immediately, but came to the simply constructed world map hanging on the wall. Looking at the sea and land outlined with a few simple strokes, Alfonso thought of the sophisticated work of later generations. After looking at the corresponding places one by one on the satellite map, I finally focused on the Mediterranean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea on the edge of the mainland, and then pointed my finger above. I You said, what if the United Kingdom and the German Empire also paid attention to us in Africa? We learned from using submarines to attack France's African Indian Ocean fleet on the Indian Ocean. In three important areas, including the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, we used submarines to block attacks and play hide-and-seek with us. You say, this Wouldn't it be fun? "

"Submarine interception?" The two people stood up in surprise, and then quickly walked to the map with some shock, staring at the map. To be precise, it is looking at the sea surrounding Spain. After a few seconds, their faces turned pale.

"If I were them, I feel that if it is just a few hours of war, there is no need to do it so cruelly, so that we can also carry out such a move. Spain also has an unparalleled submarine force, even stronger, so. If that's the case war. They should choose not to do this." Seeing His Majesty's noncommittal look, Trini then said:

"If it is a local war, that is, a war in one direction, or a war in one region, then people may hold a short demonstration. It depends on the situation. If people see that the matter is irreversible and a full-scale war develops in the end, This is very likely to lead to a comprehensive blockade of us. As a big country that uses the sea to develop maritime trade, our land is not very big, so the final result will be" Trini said. The more chilled I became, the more frightened I became. His Majesty's speculation seemed a bit too alarming. He happened to see Chavez's red eyes. Obviously the other party also thought of this.

Seeing that the two of them have realized this. Alfonso took a deep breath, then touched his forehead, rubbed it, and said: "Don't doubt everything that seems to be bad for us. These, because this often shows that we are not doing well enough, Therefore, this time, we should not feel in danger. On the contrary, we should meet the challenge. Moreover, we can still eliminate all threats to our safety. I plan to" Alfonso said with firm eyes: "Someone has taken our things. , this time, we should also be good and let people send them back."

Trini's eyes were strange and inquiring, and he couldn't help but said uncertainly: "Your Majesty, do you want to take back Gibraltar?"

"Do you think it's impossible?"

Alfonso's rhetorical question made the two of them feel that this time, it seems that His Majesty is really determined to reach an agreement, but will the British be so kind as to return it to us? ” is negative.

"However, His Majesty's statement makes us feel more confused. It seems that this makes our allies more independent. To ask us to return to Gibraltar is obviously a bit wrong?" Chavez The idea is very simple, although in dealing with these issues of government affairs. , he is very shrewd, but in some ways of diplomacy, he still consciously knows that there is a gap between himself and Trini. Yes, he only thinks that there is only a little gap. Therefore, he needs to ask these questions clearly. He is not the only one. He didn't understand. When he saw Trini, he obviously didn't quite understand this either, so he thought it would be easier to understand if he asked himself. This is a better analysis.

Trini didn't know about these twists and turns of Chavez. He was just keeping his eyes on His Majesty because now he was also eager to know what His Majesty's strategy was to allow such an irrelevant thing to happen. This makes His Majesty confident that Britain will obediently offer Gibraltar back.

Alfonso didn't mean to embarrass these two most important men, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he took the pen next to him, and then, under the close gaze of the two men, he wrote a line of words, and then pointed He looked at it and said: "This is my method, idea and future plan. Do you understand the direction of your future work?"

The two looked at the sentence composed of Spanish words, and their expressions suddenly changed. Then their bodies trembled a little and their voices trembled: "Understood?"

Alfonso said with satisfaction: "Now that I know it, the direction is clear. This time, I want to formally establish our status as the leader of a world power. Therefore, I need you to use your full strength to create a new world together." era, and when the time comes, you," Alfonso said with some enthusiasm, "then you will also leave a mark in the annals of history."

Hearing this, Chavez and Trini were shocked even more, and at the same time they felt the blood boiling deep in their hearts.

"Okay, you go down. The plan this time is not perfect, but only the most perfect one that changes at any time. Now, I have made the water of the world situation even more turbid. Compared with 1897, because of our A letter was sent to my old grandmother, just like Oh Zhou. This time, I feel that our actions should make the world more confused, hahaha."

The two people beside him were looking at the map with smiles at this time, as if they had seen something beautiful. (To be continued...)

ps:  Thanks to Dafeng Baozi for supporting me with two monthly tickets, as well as the radiant goddess Lux and the Three Kingdoms of Destiny for their rewards. One more thing I want to say is that I am actually a Han Chinese and a patriot, so some friends have said that I am a survivor of the Qing Dynasty and write about the Qing Dynasty. In fact, there are some strategic issues in those novels, so please don’t I'm surprised. In fact, we all belong to fifty-six ethnic groups. Now we are all one family. There is no need to distinguish them so clearly. Those are all gone overnight. If we talk about which ethnic group is which, it will easily cause confusion in our country. Things that are detrimental to unity appear, so I think these friends don’t need to attack these things. Of course, I am just talking. After reading it, just treat it as my fart, hehe.
