Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

General Castro, the army has been reorganized, and there is an important task for you to do next.

Alfonso stared at Castro and said.

Please instruct Your Majesty.

Castro said firmly without hesitation.

Cuba, our prosperous Caribbean colony, the local resistance war is very serious now.

Alfonso pointed to a map of Cuba, his eyes fixed on Castro.

Let you go, I hope you will destroy all those who dare to resist the Spanish government in the past.

After a pause, he suddenly pointed to the map of the United States.

The Americans must have stepped in to support the Cuban rebels, find the evidence, and we'll make them pay.

The Americans who have just ended the Civil War for 10 years are not America, the world police force of later generations.

In this situation where the European continent dominates the world, although the United States is called the new world, it is still not in the eyes of European powers.

In the War of Independence, it was also because of the support of the French that the British were difficult to defeat, shortly after their independence in 1814.

The British, who like to play with fire, set fire to the White House with a force of 2,500 troops.

That's right, the White House, where the President of the United States lives and works, was almost 40 years earlier than the burning of the Yuanmingyuan in history.

The quality of the U.S. Army in the Civil War made the European powers scoff.

French officers kindly commented on the American soldiers during the Civil War: the cavalry would not charge, and the infantry was not as good as that of Napoleon.

In the Spanish-American War in later generations, even though Spain was already shaky and old, Americans still prepared for two full years before they dared to do it.

The prestige and self-confidence of the European powers reached their peak during this period.

Castro, a total of 32,000 troops from the 1st and 2nd divisions will set off with you, and I will send the Atlantic Fleet to escort you.

Alfonso said, turning his head and beckoning to Howard,

Howard, go and tell Canovas that this Cuban anti-insurgency war is very important to me, and ask him to ensure the supply of ammunition for the army.

The army is equipped with a large number of new weapons. It needs to be reminded that the materials consumed by the 32,000-strong expedition force are not a small amount.

Furthermore, Castro, I ask you to find evidence that the Yankees intervened. After our four Sovereign ships become combat capable, the Americans must pay for what they did.

The Sovereign class is the four former dreadnoughts that Alfonso had built long ago.

With a displacement of 14,150 tons and a maximum speed of 18.27 knots, the front-dreadnought-class equipped with 4 main guns was a big killer in this period.

The monarchy class, which started construction in April this year, is expected to be launched around June next year, and the official launch of the war may have to wait until September 1876.

But Alfonso didn't think it was too late. In the end, the rebellion in Cuba was just a petty fight, and the large-scale army was far less than the small-scale guerrilla.

After annihilating large-scale rebels, the army is stationed in major cities. Your primary task is to maintain the stability of the colony.

Alfonso told Castro that Cuba is not a big place with a small population, and it is not too difficult for the current Spanish army to quell the rebellion.

What he waited for was mainly a reason to seek compensation from the United States. There are many European powers, and no one in the United States dared to bully them, but they dared to attack Spain again and again.

For Alfonso, the American hungry wolf staring at Spain was naturally taking advantage of his weakness to weaken him.

In the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spain lost its only two colonies, Cuba and the Philippines.

The wealthy people in Cuba and the Philippines believe that everyone knows that there are also some small islands in the Pacific Ocean, such as Guam,

All were taken away by the Americans during this period.

Your Majesty, what if the Cuban rebels don't have the support of the Americans, who are still recovering from the Civil War as far as I know.

Castro bent over and asked. Although he could probably guess what Alfonso meant, he still asked cautiously.

Alfonso turned to look at the map, Then we make it ourselves, all we need is a reason to formally teach this drooling hound staring at us.

No matter if you are in the position of a Spaniard or a Chinese, it is impossible to have the slightest affection for this country.

My subordinates understand that the army will soon complete the training camp.

Castro went out after answering. He was in a hurry to prepare for the training camp in Cuba.

Cuba did not have a strong rebel army, but small-scale guerrillas would surely cause the Spanish army to continue to bleed.

Castro went back to figure out a solution to the problem.

Let the government issue a notice to cancel the colonial status of Cuba, the Philippines and other places, and the two places will officially become the official territory of Spain, and the Cuban Province and the Philippines Province will be established, and the people of the two places can enjoy the same treatment as the Spaniards.

The way to break the guerrillas is not to use the army. As long as they are treated equally and gradually gain popular support, the guerrillas will naturally fail to attack themselves.

Inform Misti that Le Monde is preparing for a simultaneous mass distribution in Cuba and the Philippines.

The triple strike of politics, propaganda, and military is Alfonso's usual tactics. Only by swiftly pacifying the two places can they continue to bring benefits that conform to their values ​​to Spain.

Cigar coffee in Cuba and gold embroidery in the Philippines are two of the few wealthy colonies in the world today.

The policy decisions on Cuba and the Philippines are ready to be implemented, and for the people of Spain's most advanced army in the world, three special guests have come.

Among the white people who came and went, three short Asians stood out.

The three are Toshinori Okubo, Takamori Saigo and Takayuki Kido.

At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese positioned themselves as the Prussians of Asia. After the Three Great Masters of Prussia, the three Great Masters of the Meiji Restoration appeared in Japan accordingly.

Nishigo-kun, Kido-kun, last time we visited Europe, we didn't come to Spain to see and learn. It's a pity.

Okubo said to the other three with a sigh of relief.

Okubo, this time we were specially ordered by the emperor to come to Spain to observe and learn from the world's famous No. 1 army. This time, we Japan will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Western powers.

Saigo Takamori said that as a veritable aggressive faction, his tone was naturally yearning.

This time we must not live up to the emperor's expectations and bring the world's most advanced army technology and weapons back to Japan. Let's encourage you!

Takayuki Kido said.

You all encourage each other!
