Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 125: Declare war with Spain

I would like to thank Zhiqing, Southern Passerby, toto000, Yun Suifeng Piaomiao for their monthly ticket support, and Chinese golfers for their deep gratitude again.

"Just kidding! Back to the question of data. However, I think it is better for the host to answer this question. Your Majesty Haakon, it is you."

Haakon VII smiled and agreed. He was still very satisfied with Alfang XIII's approach, especially after thinking about the data, he was even more satisfied, so he said loudly: "This time our two countries The agreements signed are huge, they have..."

“Spain will invest 10 million pesetas to expand the port of Bergen, and Spain will invest 80 million pesetas to build the Bodø-Moschen-Gron-Trondheim railway, which has already been built before. If this northern artery is added to the southern railways such as Oslo-Bergen and Oslo-Kristiansand-Stavanger, Norway will better connect the north and the south.

In addition to this railway, Audi will also invest 10 million pesetas in Norway to build a factory in Oslo as Audi's Nordic production and supply center. Fonterra Foods will invest more than 8 million pesetas in Bergen as a fish industry base. Also, if successful, the Swedish Northern Railway, which may be built by Spain, will connect us with Trondheim in the central town of Östersund, which will be a huge investment."

The people below were all amazed when they heard these numbers appear one by one. Even the Norwegian ministers, who already knew the amounts, were excited.

Although these figures are huge for large countries, with investments in the hundreds of millions of pesetas, they are definitely a huge amount of money for a country like Norway, which is neither medium nor small. Obtaining such investment will definitely bring a lot of benefits to these countries. These media are from all over the world. They have thought that if their country obtains these investments, then a lot of jobs will definitely be added. According to Spain The number of jobs occupied by workers can also provide many high-paying positions for the country's skilled workers. After all, Spanish wages are notoriously high. In the past, they were only comparable to those in Britain and Germany. After the emergence of this year's industrial wage standard, Spain's is now on the verge of surpassing it.

"Wow, a very large amount of money. I am a reporter from Denmark. I would like to ask His Majesty Alfonso XIII, during your next trip to Copenhagen, what steps will you make to make the two countries more friendly? action."

Alfonso first gave Haakon VII a helpless expression. The latter returned a gesture of please.

"On my trip to Denmark, I think my favorite place to go is probably the classic scenes in Mr. Andersen's fairy tales, uh, especially to see the bronze statue of the mermaid, which was a dream place when I was a child. As for which ones? I think there are good actions. My visit to Denmark this time shows the most direct fact, that is, the relationship between Spain and Denmark has reached the best period in history. After this visit, I think the two Exchanges between countries will be further expanded and continued..."

Even before Alfonso XIII's visit to Northern Europe, many media around the world were paying attention to this arrangement. However, due to confidentiality reasons, no more information could be obtained. Therefore, before Alfonso officially started, a large number of media rushed to Oslo, Norway, the first stop in Northern Europe, and stayed there, waiting for this press conference. 's appearance. Because of this, yesterday's press conference quickly began to be published in the media.

"Voice of a King" The newly established British "Economic Times" reported in a long form the formation of the delegation of King Alfonso XIII of Norway, focusing on the trade and investment agreement reached between the two countries, and also introduced the keynote speeches at the press conference. Dialogue between the two kings and the media. Especially the issue related to Alfonso was analyzed in detail.

"Before every conversation with Alfonso XIII. Every reporter would never guess that the other party was prepared, so after asking questions, many media suddenly found that their questions had indeed become Alfonso The Thirteenth's own questions became his argumentation course, but his speech was really good. Maybe it would be a good idea to invite him to give a speech in the British Houses one day."

"At this press conference, the limelight of King Haakon VII of Norway was completely stolen by Alfonso XIII. However, as the host, Haakon VII became Alfonso XIII's foil, and even The foil also comes second. Because before it, there was a female reporter from Spain who became the highlight of yesterday. Especially after her question, it was obvious that she became the heroine under the flashlight. This time The press conference has completely become a Spanish press conference from top to bottom. This can also prove one thing, that is, no matter who it is, as long as they are with Alfonso XIII, they will be able to face the media. Time will always be a supporting role, whether it is a king or a peasant. Dear kings, are your supporting roles still far away?" The Times said jokingly.

"A Declaration of Southern Europe Going North!" The title at the beginning of "Voice of Tsarist Russia" was very political. "As a big country in this era, Spain's every move affects the hearts of other countries. Although Svalbard is small, its strategic significance is extraordinary. From Russia's perspective, it is located in Russia's In the northwest, it is about 600 kilometers away from the Russian mainland, and the closest distance to Victoria Island in Franz Josef Land is only about 100 kilometers away.

Such a distance is very dangerous for Russia, and from what Alfonso XIII said and what the Spanish government said, they did not deny that they would build the Waslba Islands into a Spanish naval port. , and among Russia's four major military ports, in addition to the Black Naval Port in the Baltic Sea and the military ports in East Asia, the remaining military ports are in Murmansk, and the location of Murmansk is destined to become a The military port will restrict its access to and from the Atlantic Ocean.

Spain has obtained permission from Norway, and they can temporarily dock in Bergen, Norway. In this case, the Baltic Navy has actually been contained out of the Atlantic Ocean. This is not an ordinary threat to Russia. The base has this effect on Russia, but it also has the same effect on Britain.

After all, from now on, Spanish warships can travel freely on both sides of the United Kingdom, which is also threatening to the United Kingdom. I hope that the strategists and governments of the two countries will notice this time that Spain is expanding its sphere of influence in Northern Europe. "Threatening behavior"

However, unlike them, other Nordic countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden are mainly focused on economic issues this time.

"Norway has received more than 100 million pesetas in investment this time after the visit of King Alfonso XIII of Spain. This is for Norway. This is the biggest economic event in recent years. Think about it, if these investments from Spain If it can be implemented, Norway's economy will definitely jump into the ranks of developed countries in Europe." "Danish Daily" reported.

“The amount of investment in Norway gives people no reason not to believe that the next two stops that the King of Spain will visit are also implementing a strategy of huge investment. People in both countries have no reason not to believe that their countries will receive enough help from pesetas. They create more jobs. Therefore, citizens of both countries, please bring out your flowers to welcome those who come to your country to create jobs." Sweden focuses on economic investment, so their media also reports on this aspect. The same goes for Denmark.

Unlike them, this time the German Empire's "Deutsche Rift" focused on the issue of female reporters. It reported: "The fact that Madrid Daily is able to use women as reporters shows that they have realized that women can also be good reporters. Many Spanish professions have begun to open to women, such as As far as we know, the Audi car company now has several women involved in car design. As for what is being designed, it is a trade secret that the outside world does not know. However, regarding the improvement of women’s social status in Spain, just look at the Spanish cabinet. Among several cabinet members, there are two heavyweights, Elena and Lais.

This shows that Spain treats women as equals. Yesterday, His Majesty Alfonso XIII’s comments on the employment of female reporters in the Madrid newspaper were just a microcosm. , on the contrary, it seems that in the German Empire, women were concerned about and applied in building society. There is a big gap compared with Spain, while the gap between the two countries is not very obvious now. Please zhengfu pay more attention to women's social status! The royal family should pay more attention to this issue and even take the lead. Don’t forget, the effect of Queen Patricia’s Spanish women’s group is still fermenting, and it has become a stable soft power force in Spain.”

Russia, Kremlin.

"Bastard, what a bastard!" Nicholas II roared loudly, his face even more full of evil spirits, and next to him, Pobedonoschaif stood quietly and watched, between Spain and Norway The territorial exchange was simply bad news for Russia. After the news came back, this was the third time he saw Nicholas II getting angry. Although he wanted to stop it, he thought about it and let it go. It was better to vent it out than to hold it in his heart and suddenly burst out one day.

"Pobedonoschaev, you said, if we issue a statement opposing the transaction between the two countries, you say"

Pobedonoschaif said helplessly: "Your Majesty, do you think the two countries will listen to us?"

When Nicholas II thought about that daring guy who didn't even care about Edward VII of England, the answer came out immediately.

However, he was still unwilling to say: "Then, if we inform the United Kingdom, France and other countries, then"

"The problem is, although Britain and France don't like Spain being there, I think they also know that we have the idea of ​​​​annexing Scandinavia. They have signed our alliance, and presumably they will also allow Spain to check and balance there. Let us, don’t forget, how Britain supported the Japanese on East Asian issues, and finally let our powerful empire defeat the Japanese in East Asia.”

"This won't work, that won't work either, forget it, in that case, let's just declare war on Spain." Nicholas II was on the verge of roaring again.

The third update promised today, please give me monthly votes and recommendation votes. . . )
