Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Chapter 31 Tender and Offensive

The first heavyweight signing of Spanish railroad construction was from the Vanderbilt family in the United States,

This American railroad tycoon family invested in the main lines of the entire southeast coast in one go, and the Barcelona-Valencia-Malaga line was all in their pockets.

As the price for all of this section of the railway to be assigned to them, in addition to the high cost, the lines that these cities continued to the inner road were also handed over to them.

This kind of railway line in a developed area is given to you, and there will naturally be additional conditions. This is essential. The Spanish government is not a fool, and the Vanderbilt family will not think that there will be a good thing falling from the sky.

A few days later, the Carnegie Steel Company of Scotland announced that it had won almost half of Madrid's lines to major cities, and in return, it was also included in the construction of some railways.

After the two blockbuster deals were concluded, the local capitalists and nobles in Spain began to exert their efforts, and successively won orders from cities on the northwest coast, as well as from Madrid to Zaragoza and Valjos.

Large and small railway lines in China have been taken, leaving some remote areas, which can only be invested and constructed by the government.

At this time, in Ceuta, North Africa, about 20,000 Moroccans were preparing to board ships to Spain across the coast.

These Arabs, as well as Berbers, are young men with strong bodies.

Most of these people are the ones who have had enough of poverty in their hometown and have hope for the future.

Arni, this time we go to Spain, we must work hard. After a few years, we will return to China to buy my own land.

Quest said to his friends from the country, a couple from the outskirts of Fes.

Quist, going to Spain is different from being a parent. We must be careful not to be a standout wherever we go. They Christians don't like us.

Alny is two years older than Quest. Unlike Quest's bright future, he looks at things from a much more rational angle than Quest.

That's natural, I forgot, we earn five years in Spain, we can buy a farmland and build a new house when we get home, and Miria, she promised me that she would wait for me to come back.

Quest obviously knows the importance, but his yearning for a better life fills his eyes with a vision for the future, and he longs for a stable and happy life.

It's also true that when the time comes, we will buy the fields together, and we will live together. In the future, our children will be like us and be good brothers.

Arnie also fantasized about his life after returning to China, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and his eyes filled with yearning for the future.

That's right, let them be brothers too.

Quest stretched out his fist, and the two touched their fists and smiled.

The Spanish photographer Thompson in the distance recorded this moment, this inadvertent action recorded this moment, and announced it to the public a hundred years later...

Arni and Quest are just the most common two people who went to Spain to work.

When the Spanish transport ship Philip entered the port, a whistle sounded, and the two, like small waves on the waves, boarded the transport ship with the big current.

What they don't know is that when they board the ship that leaves their hometown this time, they will never have the chance to return to the motherland again...

Of course, Alfonso would not know about this little thing that happened in Ceuta. All the Moroccans who boarded the cargo ship to Spain had already been sentenced to death by Alfonso in advance.

History is always written by the victors. The road to becoming a strong country is full of bones and bones. It is an indispensable process.

At this time, Alfonso was worried about how to manage these Moroccans. Spain only had a standing army of 140,000 people, of which 30,000 went to Cuba.

However, the existence of the two cavalry divisions does feel a little bit abandoned by the times.

Inform Campos to put his cavalry division in charge of the Moroccan labor, according to the standards of prisoners of war.

Alfonso soon made up his mind, and the advent of the Maxim machine gun made the cavalry force inevitably begin to move towards the end of his historical mission.

The construction of railways will inevitably spread the labor, and the high mobility of the cavalry is more conducive to guarding.

This group of people, Alfonso, intends to let them accumulate experience. After the advent of the car, the road must also be handled by Moroccans. Moroccans are now an important resource for mobility.

The local railway construction plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Good news also came from Castro in the Caribbean. The city of Santiago raised a large number of carriages, trailers and other means of transport, which brought a huge guarantee for the army's logistical supplies.

This also meant that the Spanish army could launch an offensive against the rebels in the west without any worries.

The troops of the 1st and 2nd divisions began to march towards Guaymaro, which should be the last battle in the Spanish mainland.

In another major colony, the Philippines, the level of chaos apparently began to subside after securing a homeland guarantee.

Negotiations between the British and the Americans also officially began. The current US President Grant was a soldier who rose in the Civil War and was historically known as the Mediocre President.

The British Prime Minister and the US President finally met at Buckingham Palace in England.

President Grant, we've heard that you seem to have an idea for Spain's Cuban colony, and we can support that.

Disraeli said that he did not shy away from the fact that his relationship with the Spaniard has been bad recently.

Your Excellency Prime Minister, the United States is not stable now, and we are powerless against Cuba.

The Whiskey Group case that shocked the United States caused him a lot of trouble. What troubled him the most was that his private secretary, who had a good personal relationship with him, was also involved in the case.

I think your country can divert domestic attention by taking matters into Cuba.

Disraeli said the attitude of the British was already clear.

And the British will give you diplomatic support. You only need to use the Barbados port as a supply point to provide weapons and equipment to the Cuban Independence Organization.

Grant nodded lightly, but it didn't mean he agreed, it was just the possibility of capturing Cuba, and there was even a greater possibility of a war with Spain, a European power.

Although Americans are now afraid of the British, it does not mean that they are willing to be the puppies that the British call at will.

Your Excellency Prime Minister, your country's proposal is not beneficial to our country. The benefits are not proportional to the risks. The Americans do not want to risk war with Spain because of a small Cuba.

Grant's military style was unmistakable, and he directly rejected Disraeli without any hesitation.

It seems that only the next time is talking.

Disraeli also sighed. If the Americans are unwilling, the British will not be able to end up in person. Just because a war of words is really going to be a war, it will not be worth the loss for the British.

Spain unexpectedly did not have a powerful country to intervene on the road to counterinsurgency...
