Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

The purchase of military weapons by the Japanese from the Spaniards has aroused heated discussions in various countries. The large order of 20 million competition towers is indeed rare in this era.

Although the indemnity of the Sino-Japanese War reached an astonishing 230 million taels of silver, the price of a Dingyuan ship was only 1.6 million taels of silver.

Japanese purchases have sparked enthusiasm in countries across Europe, such as several in the Balkans, as well as in countries such as France and Italy.

The smell of war gunpowder over there is heavier, and the order is more powerful.

Spain's state-owned Military Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has recently been full of firepower, and several large arsenals have worked overtime to produce weapons and ammunition.

Arms has suddenly become Spain's leading product. Alfonso is not worried about this. With the advantage of being a traveler, the arms industry will always be Spain's leading product at least during Alfonso's reign.

In the port of Bilbao, Spain, the 1st and 2nd divisions of the Army have also successively boarded the transport ships to Cuba.

For this reason, the media hyped Spain's counter-insurgency operations, and the news of the government's transformation of colonies into local countries began to spread in places such as Cuba and the Philippines.

Castro, the commander of the expedition, the staunch centralist general, is analyzing the situation in Cuba.

After the Cuban rebels entered Las Villas Province because of the obstruction of the conservatives, the westward plan failed due to the obstruction of the conservatives, and fell into a passive position of passive defense.

The purpose of the rebels is to live free, equal and independent, and when the colony has been designated as the homeland, it is not known how much will be left to fight.

At this time, in Camaguey Province, a rebel army of about 30,000 people was guarding Guaymaro, and the rebel puppet president was here.

As long as the main rebel force is defeated and the government itself gives them equal rights, the small guerrillas can be divided and attacked.

Castro thought so.

...

In Spain these days, the wind and fire are different. In the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal, which was once a naval power, is a little old.

In the Royal Palace of Portugal, King Louis I and Prime Minister Joao Franco look at each other and talk.

Your Majesty, Spain is already showing signs of revival. We should take the initiative to learn from Spain to reform, and we can't continue to decline.

Joao bluntly said that he was a Bismarckian with an iron fist, but unfortunately all he had was an iron fist, not power.

Of course I know that our reforms are urgent, but our country's economy has been stagnant over the years, and we cannot support reforms at all.

King Louis I sighed. Before the Franco-Prussian War, Spain's continuous provocation made Portugal's domestic economic development and technological innovation stagnate, and it has fallen far behind Western European countries.

Your Majesty, we may learn from our neighbors that Spanish harassment against us has ceased since Alfonso XII of the Bourbons came to power.

Joao said that in the current situation, Spain is indeed a better direction to study.

Can we turn to the British for help? Although our relationship has declined recently, is it better than Spain?

Louis I wondered why Spain could not annex Portugal for so long, and the biggest reason was the British's blocking.

Your Majesty, the British are happy to let us serve as their pathfinders, but it is impossible for them to sincerely help us develop. The British have a bad reputation.

The Jagged Joao did not like the English, he looked at Louis I thoughtfully, and continued:

His Majesty Alfonso XII of Spain is now 18 years old, but he has not yet been married. I believe that if we can reach a royal marriage with them, our relationship will definitely be greatly eased.

No, absolutely impossible,

How can I get my daughter to marry in Spain... well, I'll go back and think about it.

Louis I wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought that Alfonso had successfully brought Spain out of the quagmire at the age of 18, and he felt that he seemed to be a good match for his daughter.

In fact, Alfonso's prestige and ability, as well as the age of 18, are well-known in the European aristocratic circle as the fifth diamond king.

Spain is already an important power in Europe. As long as it can reach a marriage with Alfonso, this lucky person will live directly in the Royal Palace of Madrid and become the queen of a great empire.

My daughter, who I asked about, is indeed a suitable character. If there is someone who likes him, I will personally find Alfonso's sister.

Louis stood up, muttered a few words, and waved at Joao,

You go back first, I'll go ask my daughters now.

After speaking, he got off the throne and went to look for his daughter.

(There is a good bug here, the historical Portuguese King Louis I has only three sons and no daughters.)

Hepburn, I'll see you. King Louis I came directly to his daughter Hepburn.

Father, why are you here, do you miss me?

Hepburn was a little surprised. She didn't expect her father, who loved architecture, to come to her during work hours.

Hepburn, Dad has something to tell you, you just listen to it. Louis I hesitated a little, as if he had some guilt for deciding Hepburn's life.

Dad? What's the matter, you can tell me, maybe I can help you out.

Hepburn asked suspiciously, since she was the apple of her parents' palm since she was a child, she hadn't thought that what the king was going to say might be about her marriage.

Baby, what do you think of Alfonso XII of Spain, Dad wants to find you a suitable husband, you are 18 years old!

Louis I finished this sentence in one breath, and he was a little afraid to hear Hepburn's sad rejection.

What? Really, Dad? You want me to marry the current King of Spain?

Different from the similar crying, Hepburn's face was excited, and there was no trace of sadness.

He is a hero, he saved Spain, he is the greatest hero in my heart like my father, it would be great if I could marry him

Hepburn ignored the weird-looking Louis I, and then said cheerfully, now Hepburn looks like Cinderella who is going to marry Prince Charming.

Since you like it, then Dad will try his best to facilitate this, and in a blink of an eye, our little Hepburn has begun to think about heroes!

Louis I was still in a somewhat heavy mood. The first half of the sentence firmly promised his daughter, but the second half of the sentence was teasing his only daughter.

After his father left, Hepburn took back his elated look, looking at the delicate face in the mirror, which showed a trace of sadness.

Alfonso XII? I hope you are a good man.

How could she not know about her father's difficulties...
