The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Desais is different from the others. He was escorted aboard and returned to Spain to be tried by the Supreme Court.

The former high-ranking republics who were re-detained completed their trial in the courts of Havana.

Spain did not keep it confidential, but it did not publicize it. There were not many people in the audience, and it condemned Oler and others.

In the end, all 22 former government officials were found guilty, 14 of them were sentenced to death, and the best one was 40 years in prison.

Compared with the results of the Mario Riot in Catalonia, it can be said to be very heavy. There is no way. The colony has no human rights.

After the court had dealt with a group of Oller people, it was followed by the central officials who had just been captured from Camaguey.

After these two batches are added, the death toll is close to 100, which is only the number of high-ranking officials.

Others, including ordinary soldiers accused of criminal acts during the war, were all punished to varying degrees.

For a time, Cuba’s prisons were overcrowded.

But when Adolf decided to deal with the entire republic group, he expected this result.

He immediately shipped most of them to the country.

With these 40,000 free laborers, Spain's infrastructure construction will be greatly accelerated.

After finishing the affairs of the Republic, it was the turn of the colonial government. This was the main purpose of Adolf's coming here.

The first step is to arrest the leaders of Cuba and **** them back to Spain for dereliction of duty.

Before that, the colonial government had done nothing good, and the people applauded for it.

Under the oppression of the army, there is no objection in the government.

So the power smoothly transitioned to the hands of the military group headed by Adolf.

Then Adolf announced to the public that he would establish a parliament in Cuba. Since there are no nobles in Cuba, there is no distinction between the upper house and the lower house, and the real power is returned to the people.

The members of this parliament will come from all regions of Cuba, and each province will elect members according to the population.

Each province has two basic quotas. For every 20,000 more people, you can have one extra.

According to the situation in Cuba after the war, the number of parliamentarians will be around 100.

Since Cuba has not yet escaped the trauma of the war, many preparations have not been done, and it is not prepared to directly let the parliament exercise its power.

Even parliamentarians are not introduced through provincial elections, but are directly appointed by senior officials of the provinces.

In the next year, Cuba will be governed by commissioners appointed by Spain, with parliament assisting.

When the right time is found, the power will be handed over to the parliament, and the majority party formation system will be implemented. The Cuban cabinet will be directly responsible to the Spanish king.

This approach will undoubtedly increase the degree of independence of Cuba, and even embark on the old British path.

However, if there is no autonomy, the high cost of governance will turn Cuba into a negative equity that continues to lose money, and it may be taken advantage of by other major powers.

The two evils are the lesser one. If Cuba really can't bring Spain a little profit, Alfonso is willing to throw him away.

And as long as Spain is strong enough, Cuba cannot be independent.

But if the mainland has been severely weakened, then no matter whether Cuba is directly ruled or self-governing, it will not be able to keep it, so don't think too much.

When the news broke, Cuba was celebrating. Unexpectedly, the Cuban war suffered a complete failure. The expected cruel rule did not come, and the degree of autonomy increased.

Compared with the previous attitude towards Cuba in Spain, everyone knows who brought such a change.

For a time, the reputation of the Bourbon royal family in Cuba has improved tremendously.

On the European continent, the conflict between the Bavarians is still intensifying, and there have been a lot of fights on the streets.

Reprimand each other as "traitor of God" "traitor of Germany"

Catholic conservatives sneered at obedience to the North German barbarians. In this opposition, they came up with an idea that was once considered a dream:

Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire has permanently lost the leadership of Germany, and the Protestants in the north are not worthy of trust, then Bavaria can unite the southern German states, unite all the people who speak High German, and form the southern German state, and through cooperation with France Come against all the powerful enemies around.

The South German State will include Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden, and Hessen-Darmstad. If opportunities can be found in the Franco-Prussian War, it may also include the Saxony region.

The population of such a country will exceed 10 million, and it will become an emerging European power with a status higher than that of the Netherlands.

As long as it is done properly, the Bavarian nationalists believe that Germany will unite unprecedentedly—in the form of a three-headed alliance.

But this kind of fantasy has its own prerequisites, that is, South Germany followed France to completely defeat Prussia, and obtained the consent of the overly powerful France at that time.

Just thinking about it, you can feel the difficulties.

But Bavaria is undoubtedly a conservative and populist country. Such a compromise solution can satisfy the wishes of Catholic Germans to the greatest extent.

Even a small number of people who support joining North Germany are bewitched by this scheme.

For a time, the idea of ​​Germany's third pole became more and more popular.

In Berlin, Bismarck watched carefully what was happening in South Germany.

He is not interested in reunifying Germany, but if South Germany is really lost, then the North German Confederation he has built up will soon fall apart.

And he felt that he was about to lose control of the eager bourgeoisie and unificationists.

He originally hoped that Bavaria would resolve it on its own, but the situation was clearly heading out of control.

William I has written to Ludwig II several times, stating that he does not wish to destroy the friendship between the Hohenzollern family and the Wittelsbach dynasty.

Unfortunately, the other party turned a deaf ear to this kindness.

Should we force interference? Wise as Bismarck was also hesitant at this time.

It took only seven weeks for Prussia to defeat the South Germany+Saxony+Austria team. Even with the help of Italy, Prussia alone took more time.

Bismarck believes that it will not take two weeks to defeat Nande in chaos.

But this is not a simple military issue. Prussia takes the initiative to attack, the Franco-Prussian War will begin immediately, and the North German state will lose its trust in Prussia.

And as far as Bismarck knows, a friend of Prussia, Britain, has shown interest in the South German plan.

In the case of an unfavorable international environment, Bismarck will not rush to war.

On August 11, Prussia held a meeting in Berlin and invited all the German states to discuss the future of the German nation.

Britain, France, Austro-Hungary, Spain, Russia, Italy and other countries have obtained the right to listen to the conference.
