Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 176 Port Sudan?

"Your Majesty, Hardy has also confirmed this statement of Kandi and Zorro, so I think it shouldn't be wrong."

Zorro and Kandi are both his subordinates. Chirac, who understands their personalities, still believes in the authenticity of the information sent back by them, and Hardy's confirmation has increased his trust.

The time now is April 18th, and there are still about ten days before the royal gathering.

When Alfonso faces many things now, he has begun to let others operate the system. For example, when discussing issues such as the current House of Lords and the House of Commons, he sees that they are already running well. , without too much intervention.

In terms of the operation of zhengfu, in addition to some major development directions, he also began to let them handle it. Of course, there will never be a king like the British in later generations who will only be a symbolic existence. For him, that kind of system It will definitely do more harm than good. Why, because, in his opinion, this will form a deadlock on many issues. Without a strong political decision-making background, many national issues will appear short-sighted.

In fact, many people may ask why Alfonso XIII is so prepared for the United States, even more so than the United Kingdom and Russia. It is very simple, because the systems of the latter countries are monarchies. With its strength, Spain is absolutely not in any danger.

But the United States is different. They have a so-called democratically elected system (although it was obtained under the manipulation of big capitalists). They can choose the head of state. This makes Spain and other monarchy countries, the head of state is like a symbol of the country. It is also the source of unity. This itself has a fundamental institutional conflict. More importantly, Alfonso knows that many people in later generations have seen that the United States has actually started to pay attention to launching cultural products from the very beginning, especially political products. Just look at the presidential system in South America and you will understand. The subsequent national government and other coup countries supported by the United States are all like this. Even the United Kingdom, the largest country in the world, is also in the United States. under the influence.

Let the king, a person who originally had power, strength, spirit, etc., become only a symbol of the second best. In fact, this is what the United States wants, that is, the Americans use their experience in democratic elections to put the democratically elected governments of the world under their self-appointed spokespersons to supervise the democratic election process in the world. The purpose of the Soviet Union, and the subsequent birth and rapid growth of the vitality of the Soviet Union was because it destroyed the theme of the United States and was blocked, suppressed and contained by the United States just after World War II. In order to ensure that the vitality of the Soviet Union's system was in It was much stronger than them at that time, taking advantage of the fear of the Soviet Union's equality in the hearts of those with vested interests in other countries. In the end, this was how the Soviet Union turned against the United States, and today the two powers cannot compete for hegemony. As for the other reasons mentioned in other books, hey, although that is one, but it is just an objective branch.

This is the reason why Alfonso is on guard against the United States, because there are selfish powers inside. He does not deny this, but at the same time, the reason why he does this is to allow Spain to move more towards the path of its own design, and It's not just heading towards the status of a second-rate noble in Europe like it was before.

As for Mohammed V of Ottoman Turkey, to be honest, I feel pity and a little disdain for this contradictory guy.

As for expanding the influence of Ottoman Turkey, they are afraid that other countries will form an estimate of them, so they act forward and backward. How can one achieve great things, but Alfonso himself doesn't think about it. If he didn't know those future events, would he be able to push Spain up and become a powerful country.

"What are the conditions of Mohammed V?" Alfonso's question is unclear. Generally, there are two sides. One is what to sell, and the other is the purchase price. Can the business be done in this way? But Alfonso Fang Suo didn't know whether he was talking about the front or the back. Fortunately, Chirac also knew that His Majesty was not the kind of person to care about everything.

"Our people were far away at that time, so we couldn't hear the sound very clearly."

These things seemed strange to Alfonso. Since he couldn't hear the sound, how could he know all the conditions of the other party?

Chirac saw His Majesty's confusion, so he explained: "They were on the edge of the big map at that time."

map? This is a way of leaking secrets. Even because of this, Alfonso thought that when he decided on the location of military formations and other places in the future, in order to prevent spies from other countries from prying into secrets, he should be on guard against them.

Chirac didn't wait for Alfonso to ask, and directly told what he knew.

"It is said that they pointed to several places, one of which was Tripoli."

"Tripoli?" Alfonso couldn't help shouting. After shouting, he felt that he was allergic. But we can’t blame Tripoli for such a reaction. For Alfonso, the main reason for this place is naturally because in 2011, Africa’s political strongman Gaddafi collapsed due to strong suppression and armed attacks by the international Western alliance headed by the United States. Even the reason why he was finally killed was that Tripoli, officially the capital of Libya, is located in the middle of the African continent, close to Tunisia and the southern coast of Italy.

Alfonso found it very interesting that Mohammed V would choose this place. At the same time, he also found it a little funny. As we all know, France and Italy are keeping a close eye on Libya under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Now if Mohammed V Spain was given here, but what about Spain as a shield? Maybe he just wanted Spain to fight with Italy and France in the Mediterranean, so that they could sit back and watch the fight.

"An interesting choice?"

"This is what Billet guy chose."

"Bilet, Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire? This guy doesn't seem stupid."

"Yeah, I think so too, but this was their first choice. Presumably they knew that everyone understood the meaning of what they did, so they chose another place."

"Where is the second place?" Alfonso's interest was aroused at this time. He really wanted to see the sincerity that the Ottoman Empire was prepared to show.

“The second place is Port Sudan”

"Port Sudan, are they really willing to take out Port Sudan?" Alfonso didn't believe it, because if Port Sudan fell into the hands of Spain, then it would be equivalent to the Ottoman Empire pinning the fate of Sudan on Spain. The interlocking rule of Sudan, Egypt and Libya will therefore create unstable factors. In Alfonso's view, Tripoli is still possible, because it is the border of these three places and is a marginal place under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The binding ruling power is relatively light, and the strategic position there is also relatively light. However, Port Sudan is actually located between the mainland and Egypt and Sudan. Although such a place goes to the Arabian Peninsula controlled by the British to the east, in order to contain Britain, what about this?

"Of course it won't be like this, so they chose the next two places" (To be continued.
