Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"What, he actually made such a request? It can't be a lie. Her Majesty, what do you think they have in mind?"

Buckingham Palace is today the most powerful place in the world. More than 34 million square kilometers of land in the world are British colonies, nearly twice as much as France, which ranks second, with 11.5 million. Each continent has their large colonies, such as Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria, Botswana, and Zambia in Africa. Garner et al. The Middle East, South Asia in Asia, Malaysia, Myanmar, etc. in Southeast Asia, most of Oceania, islands in the Americas, Cyprus in Europe, and Gibraltar, Malta. In front of such a colonial administrative center, nowhere in the world is more powerful than this. The plundered supplies of these colonies are also important in maintaining Britain's global hegemony.

However, now they are facing a severe test. Who can threaten them? Why, because as an industrialized country, Britain can use the whole world as its source of raw materials and export market for industrial products. But now the market has changed. Because industrialization has also occurred in other countries now, and it is even said that they are developing more rapidly. An increasing number of countries are seeking to protect their raw material supplies and export markets. By 1870, British industrial products began to face strong competition from other countries. Especially Germany and the United States. Now these two countries are quickly catching up with the old powers Britain and France. It is said that Germany has defeated the United Kingdom in many industrial products. By the end of this century, it is actually closer to the huge market of Europe than the United States. Germany, because Europe's consumption power has surpassed Britain and has become the world's factory.

Industry is equivalent to strength. It is no wonder that the current European grandmothers and Salisbury are somewhat worried about the situation that Britain will face. In particular, Germany began to implement the Tirpitz Plan to develop its navy, which aroused the concerns of all British people. After all, the dominance of the navy has always been the link between Britain and its overseas colonies. If it is threatened, it will be very dangerous. , we can draw this conclusion as long as Spain was defeated by the British Empire more than two hundred years ago and then began to decline. This is also the reason why, although Her Majesty the Queen has disliked Prince Edward a bit over the years, she has not stopped him from visiting European countries such as Tsarist Russia and France intensively. To take precautions before they happen, this is a common subconscious crisis among British people. However, does the Spanish Empire, which has not attracted much attention before now, also want to join this game?

The queen, who was already in her 70s, and Salisbury looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. You must know that due to the civil war, the former global power has declined, and now Spain has become the appearance of a battle for European hegemony. You can only watch but not touch. After all, even with the intensive development that began under Alfonso XII these years, Spain is now developing rapidly, but it is still far behind Germany, France, Tsarist Russia, etc., not to mention Great Britain, even Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It's not even remotely better than that, at least that's the case in the army. Therefore, it has always been ignored by the European powers. But now, surprisingly, the King of Spain has written a letter. That boy who is only 11 years old now? How funny it is for an 11-year-old boy to discuss national affairs with an old man in his seventies, but this is the fact, an out-and-out fact.

Now British Prime Minister Salisbury gave him a first impression of being funny at first, but then after reading the letter from Her Majesty the Queen, his face became solemn and slightly gloomy.

The atmosphere did not remain strong for a long time before the Queen began to speak, breaking the silence of the palace. ….

His eyes were not dull because he was over 60 years old, but with a sparkle in his eyes. He said: "His guess must be right. I have never relaxed about this issue over the years, especially with Spain's reform in the American continent in recent years." The role of the United States in this retreat has always been very doubtful. But even I think that they are just trying to have a stable development environment, and are afraid that we European empires will extend the war there and burn them. That's why they were so nervous. After all, the United States was still so weak back then. But after reading this letter, I finally understood that those nouveau riche people actually had such long-term plans. It was really unexpected. Roy Monroe, you really deserve to be a man who can become the President of the United States." Although he was a little angry, his face showed appreciation.

Salisbury certainly understood the meaning of the Queen's expression when he saw it, but to be honest, he also admired the idea of ​​the plan. As long as he saw the date of the plan, he had to admire the other party's long-term vision. However, wasn't this plan cracked by that kid? Thinking of this, he glanced towards the south, where Spain is.

"Yeah, that kid is not simple. Although he hasn't done much in recent years, if you just look at his actions in these years, you can see how careful he is. He visits the poor people, reduces taxes, and... He joined the military training course at the age of 10. These measures won the support of Spanish citizens and single-handedly developed the Audi Motor Company, a European automobile giant that now has an annual revenue of over 100 million US dollars and competes with Germany's Mercedes-Benz. Such an existence, even if you don't want to make people It’s not good to attract people’s attention.”

Salisbury nodded in agreement. On the letter paper in his hand, the top title was directly marked with a few large words: What did the United States of the Monroe Doctrine bring to us! ! !

"That's right, just three exclamation points." Yang Chen looked at Antonio and Paracides and said seriously: "I just want to tell our European grandmother solemnly and seriously that the crisis of our empire has arrived, remind her and Solos Alsbury, if you in the UK do not want to follow in the footsteps of our Spanish Empire, you must stand up and speak for our entire community, otherwise disaster will befall you."

"But, will this have the opposite effect?" Paracides said with some worry: "After all, in the face of interests, many things will be unclear whether it is necessary to act according to the rules of the group."

Yang Chen glanced appreciatively at Palacides, the current leader of the liberal faction. Compared with Antonio, who was frank but shrewd, Palacides was more cautious and delicate, and played the role of a great butler. Although the two are the leaders of Spain's two camps, conservative and liberal, they are still very loyal to themselves. And having them control these two factions can also keep the situation in Spain under control, which greatly avoids the possibility of another civil war in Spain. This is the decision of Alfonso XII, his father in this life. ’s strategy is also a strategy that he very much agrees with.

Yes, Yang Chen is the reincarnation, a man who spanned two centuries from the 2020s to the end of the 19th century, the head of the Spanish royal family and King Alfonso XIII of the Spanish Empire, and a man who was still pregnant with his mother because of his father's sudden death. In his belly, he became the posthumous son of the King of Spain before he was born. It has been eleven years since he was born. During these eleven years, although he has restrained himself very much and not to do things too different from other people of his age, he is still in the world. He was born into a royal family and was a king before he was born. He was not an ordinary being by nature. At the age of three, he could memorize Hugo's famous lines. At the age of six, he was familiar with Shakespeare's literature. At the age of eight, he established the car company Audi. At the age of ten, he participated in specialized military training and carried out various political activities close to the people. He implemented strategies to reduce taxes and attract business for civilians, industry, and business. At the age of eleven but not yet sixteen, he had been allowed in advance by his mother, Queen Mother Maria Cristina, to directly handle political affairs. Every move here is eye-catching, especially the last one. To put it bluntly, the Spanish Empire is already under the direct control of this eleven-year-old boy. More than two centuries ago, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was still gnashing his teeth and thinking about how to kill the powerful minister Obei. With his head, he gained pro-government. ….

"Don't worry Earl, I guess our old grandmother Her Majesty the Queen will agree with us." I hope she can agree. Yang Chen knows very well how important it is to send a letter to the Queen this time. If the plan goes well, then , it will become a butterfly that will change the future destiny of Spain. The wind fanned by its wings will change a lot of trajectories. There is actually another result of sending this letter that Yang Chen did not say, that is, Spain will start It has disturbed the strategic balance in Europe. To put it bluntly, although Spain no longer has the strength to compete with Britain, Germany, France and Russia in terms of national strength, it cannot be underestimated. At least the current naval strength of the Spanish Empire is not weaker than that of the United States of America. In Europe It is also at the forefront. If Britain wants to dominate the ocean, it will be even more powerful if Spain is added to it. The German Empire's fight for Spain will not only check France, but also form a check on Britain on the shortcomings of the navy. In short, if Spain steps forward at this time, it is very likely that it will become the target of all parties.

"What, you said that boy from Spain sent a letter to Her Majesty the Queen?" Friedrich Wilhelm Victor Albert von Hohenzollern, who is now the German Emperor Wilhelm II, looked at the present in confusion. Admiral Tirpitz, whom he trusted very much. "Yes, our people in the UK sent back such a message."

"Do you know the reason?"

"It's not very clear yet. Not just us, I think many people in the UK don't know about this either," Tirpibits said. This is a fact, and the telegram sent back from there has clearly stated it. So he answered in the affirmative.

William frowned and walked back and forth. During this period of time, he felt the pressure from Britain, especially Prince Edward who kept wandering around France and Russia during this period, which made him feel upset. Depressed, the appearance of Spain at this time was an accident for him. Especially, this accident was based on sending a private letter to the Queen of England during this sensitive period. He glanced at the direction of the peninsula in the south, and he felt like This was the first time I paid serious attention to that place.
