Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Chapter 47: Indians and Africa

Your Excellency Ambassador, in fact, my love for China is not only cultural, I think the cooperation between the two countries will also bring benefits to both sides.

Alfonso said with a smile, the Huaguo market is huge, even if only a small number of people have the spending power, it is still the only market in the world.

Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of cooperation you want to do?

Guo Songtao asked, the reputation of the foreign powers is not very good.

We should ensure that businessmen from both countries can conduct normal trade between the two places, of course this is completely equal.

If Spanish products can enter the Chinese market, even if they can get a small piece, it will be a big cake for Spain.

No problem, we have always been warm to our friends, and our country also hopes to conduct normal trade exchanges.

Guo Songtao's face showed joy, this request can be said to be very easy,

But the specific transaction matters still need to be discussed with our Prime Minister Canovas, the two of you slowly and in detail. I am not that proficient in this.

Alfonso waved and turned the matter over to Canovas.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Guo Songtao saluted, it was finalized.

This incident is just an episode, after all, marriage is still the most important thing now.

At this time, in North America, the equipment shipped from Cuba also officially arrived in Canada.

The British and Canadian Governor-General, Earl Dufferin, didn't really care about this matter, just a few thousand guns.

In 1876, the Pacific Railroad running through Canada from east to west had not been completed, so the cost of supporting the inland of the United States at this time was extremely high.

However, the transportation pressure is not large, and it can be transported by the original method. If the North American Dominion informs the British government that 5,000 guns cannot be transported, the Canadian Governor General of Earl Dufferin can directly step down and retire for life.

The reason why the most advanced Vieri rifles were sent is, in the final analysis, a problem of transportation capacity. It is impossible to use a large number of manpower to transport the weapons that are a pile of broken copper and iron, and it will not achieve the results that the United Kingdom and Spain want.

As for asking the Indians to buy it, it is even more unreal. They are so poor that they stoned Americans, and the money from there is used to buy weapons and equipment.

Patriarch Hongyun, the weapons have arrived in Canada. If nothing else, we can take over this batch of equipment within a month, but we need to step up our efforts to find loopholes on the border.

At this time, Felipe was explaining the matter in the tent of the Red Cloud Patriarch.

Your Excellency Felipe, we have found the gap. The defense of the inland border between the United States and Canada is very loose, which is not difficult for us.

The exaggerated border line between the United States and Canada is doomed that the border will not be too stable, but life in both places is relatively stable, and there will be no large-scale illegal immigration.

Your Excellency Hongyun, I hope you can truly regain your rights in the war against the Americans.

Having been together for so long, Felipe has some sympathy for these Indians who have been treated unfairly, even if he himself is a member of the oppressor.

By your auspicious words, the Indians will remember your friendship.

In fact, why did the Patriarch Hongyun not know that the Spaniards and the Americans were not dealing with them, but they really brought weapons for themselves to resist unfair treatment,

In any case, the Red Cloud Patriarch, who is an Indian, will remember this kindness, although it may not be of any help to Spain.

Patriarch Hongyun, if you have achieved outstanding results in the war against the Americans, the British next door would not mind helping you in order to cause more trouble for the United States,

This group of British guys are the masters of hawking without seeing a rabbit. This is the most I can tell you as a friend.

The War of Independence and the British fought, the British burned the White House in the Second War of Independence,

Civil War the British supported the South,

As long as there is an opportunity to weaken the United States, the British will never be soft-hearted, which is why Felipe can say this.

Thank you. Patriarch Hongyun said with sincerity and gratitude in his tone.

The Indians are just a small pawn in Alfonso's move, and their power can hardly make a substantial difference to the Americans,

Even Americans may use the topic to fully understand the American Indians, but instead of living in oppression, it is better to give them weapons and let them rise up.

In the 20th century, if Americans were not weakened when they were weak in the 19th century, it would really be unstoppable.

Until the rise of the German Empire, the sanctions imposed by the European powers on the United States did not stop, such as economic sanctions, port blockades, etc...

The isolationist policy of the Americans kept them from participating in European affairs at all, allowing them to have a very good and stable period of development.

It can be said that the rise of Germany and its superior geographical location saved the Americans.

And if the development of Americans cannot be contained, then strengthening itself is the best way.

Alfonso looked at Africa on the map. The day when the great powers divided Africa was getting closer and closer. The part belonging to Spain should be in West Africa and North Africa.

The French have reached out to West African countries. Morocco and Western Sahara are in a better situation. Spain is obviously stronger than the French.

If further expansion is bound to have a serious conflict with the French, the only solution to avoid this situation may lie in Italy.

Libya, like Algeria, was only marginally prosperous in this era along the coast, historically acquired by the Italians defeating Turkey in 1912.

Turkey's strength is so weak that they should not continue to occupy these lands, and the French will not give up the occupation of Libya because they are hostile to their own Italy.

In exchange, Spain occupied western Algeria and joined Morocco as a whole.

This is the easiest solution that Alfonso can come up with, and the real operation still needs to be agreed with the French.

It's really a headache.

Alfonso couldn't help but look to the east of the map. To the east of Libya was Egypt. The British Empire would never allow Egypt to be lost.

The Portuguese pink map plan almost gave the British Empire an ultimatum. The British Empire's dominance during this period was indeed at its peak...

No matter how much land is occupied, Spain will inevitably need to increase its population. Too little population can only make Spain unable to develop even if it occupies the land.

For the first time, Alfonso felt the pressure of being a monarch. The future development direction of a country is like controlling a sailboat. If you are not careful, you may step into the abyss...
