Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 206 Nicholas II’s frustration

"Just now, Alfonso, my colleague, His Majesty Alfonso, has said all his suggestions, uh, his ridicules, and everyone burst into laughter along with his speech. This is a great speech, I am very envious of his eloquence, which is so touching."

Alfonso saw many people looking over and smiled at them and shrugged.

Nicholas II also saw Alfonso's actions and felt angry. Then his tone immediately changed and he said seriously:

"However, I feel that governing a country requires practical action, not show-off, so I also have a few suggestions that I think can be made. First, I think the regional rotation system is feasible."[

Frederick VIII in the audience knew as soon as he heard that his idea was gone. Even his sworn enemies agreed with this idea, not to mention others. However, I guess Nicholas II would not be so easy to talk to. really.

"I also think it is feasible to increase institutions. However, on this basis, I think we can distinguish this. For example, we should clarify the role of several major countries in it more clearly. After all, the roles of major countries Needless to say, the role is absolutely very important, so I think we should build on this basis and establish a big country club composed of big countries, so that we can better maintain this organization and allow it to be managed more perfectly."

Alfonso, Edward VII and other major countries glanced at Nicholas II on the stage in surprise. This suggestion was not bad for Edward VII. As the most powerful country in the world today, its status is naturally unnecessary. Others have belittled him, so it is a sure thing for him to enter the big country club. With this club, he can reduce unnecessary disputes with small countries and don't need to worry too much about them. Moreover, this is also a kind of A symbol of status is a threshold. Edward VII has already agreed to this proposal in his heart.

The same is true for several other major countries. Naturally, I also understand the role. As for the small countries, although they disagree, they dare not openly oppose it. After all, this is a matter involving their main allies, especially since Nicholas II proposed this matter. Well, I think Bulgaria and Selivia would not object to taking the lead. Therefore, Nicholas II's proposal was somewhat accepted by default.

The reason for Alfonso's surprise is naturally that in this way, this organization will have the original appearance of the later League of Nations and the United Nations, with small countries on the periphery and permanent members of the United Nations Security Council in it. If there are more member states, At that time, another non-permanent member country will be added to the Security Council, and the three poles will be classified. This will form the largest international organization of its kind. There was no reason for Nicholas II to object to this idea. After all, seriously speaking, Spain would never be eliminated from this club. At the same time, I felt happy because I had a good relationship with the small country. You came out to conquer an army, but you accidentally made yourself the target of the small country's complaints. Not bad.

"Second, I think that this regional rotation system can be more representative, which I agree with. However, I think that the Austro-Hungarian Empire itself is a big country, so the idea of ​​Central Europe can be dispensed with. , in my mind, the club of great powers can be the six major powers of Britain, Russia, Spain, the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy. Therefore, I think the Central Europe region can be cancelled. I think Franz Joseph I should I won’t object to it either.”

Everyone in the audience cursed secretly for being cunning, especially the kings of small countries and the people under their banners. Who would object? Although both the big country and the host country have great influence, the big country is of course more intimidating, and their identities are very different. It’s strange that that guy Franz would object.

"I object." Under everyone's astonishment, Alfonso XIII stood up and said loudly. Nicholas II, Franz Joseph I and the kings of other countries all looked over, especially the first two. Both of them looked unhappy.

"I have no objection to Austria-Hungary entering the club of great powers that you suggested. What I want to say is that your proposal excludes one country from entering this club. Since only great powers can enter this club, then I think from the perspective of Population, territory and other aspects of influence. The Ottoman Empire can enter this club, so I object to excluding this great country, I think." Alfonso watched Nicholas II firmly Said: "He is also a qualified member of this club."

Edward VII felt hesitant now, because if he were to choose to support, he would not choose the Ottoman Empire. Why, because there are too many interest disputes between Britain and the Ottoman Empire, from Egypt to the south of the Arabian Peninsula There are disputes over colonial borders in the east and other African territories. If the Ottoman Empire joins, the Ottoman Empire's weight will greatly increase. This is something he does not want to see. However, Spain obviously Knowing that Britain, Austria-Hungary, Russia, etc. would oppose it, especially Selivia, Bulgaria, Greece, and other countries that had become independent from the Ottoman Empire, Alfonso had such a suggestion, and his attitude was so firm, What confidence does he have? Edward VII was a little puzzled, so he looked at the other party with doubts, but did not mean to object.

Nicholas II asked: "But, as a country between Asia and Europe, does His Majesty Alfonso think it is an influential power in Europe? I even doubt that he still has the European royal family The qualifications have yet to be confirmed.”

After hearing what Nicholas II said, Muhammad V turned pale and stared at Nicholas II. However, Nicholas II did not even look at him, but focused his gaze on Nicholas II. It was obvious that Alfonso of Spain was the one he valued most. As for the Ottoman Empire, in his eyes, he didn't even want to take a second look.

Alfonso signaled Mohammed V to calm down, and then asked Nicholas II in a serious voice: "Spain, Britain and Russia seem to be like this now, spanning several continents, especially, it seems that your Russian territory, The territory in Asia and the Far East is much larger than the territory in Europe. Isn’t Russia a European country?”

Nicholas II was stunned when he heard these words. He had never thought about this question, because as a big country in Europe for hundreds of years, no one had ever asked this question, and the situation in Europe had never been They all have a share in Russia, so people have the idea that Russia is definitely a powerful country in Europe. But when Alfonso said this, he pointed out a problem, that is, it has exceeded three-quarters of the territory. If Russia is not in Europe, is it still a European country?

King Edward VII and others were also stunned when they heard this, and then they laughed again. After going around and around, it turned into countries with large amounts of land overseas such as Russia and the United Kingdom, and the Ottoman Empire became countries that were judged together. .

Nicholas II on the stage still didn't know how Gao came back, because just now he used land as the basis for his argument.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Have you forgotten that most of them are pagans like the Jews, especially those who are Islamic countries. I think this reason should be enough."

No, it is definitely not enough. I think we are all peace-loving. Moreover, this is not about religion. Of course, if we talk about it, then our Catholicism in Southern Europe is different from the Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe and the Protestantism in Northern Europe, Britain, the German Empire and so on. , these are also major religions. Is it possible that this time Islam is being squeezed out, and next time it will be changed to Catholicism? Everyone in the world has love. I think today's organization is specifically used to resolve disputes, and Instead of erecting a wall as a barrier in front of the major religions of various countries to separate countries and religions that we think are not friendly, we people should learn to be tolerant and learn to be kind to the world as the Lord said. "

At this time, no one knew that Spain and Russia were actually engaged in a war without gunpowder, and everyone present knew that the main reason why the Ottoman Empire participated in this royal meeting was naturally It was Spain's support, and Nicholas II's violent attack to suppress the Ottoman Empire was obviously to encircle the enemy for reinforcements. Attack Spain, where the Ottoman Empire has clearly fallen. [

Spain did not dare to allow its allies to be suppressed, so it counterattacked Russia, and in this way, it burned Russia.

The process is complex but actually simple. With such a connection, many countries started to oppose it because of Islam. After all, Spain is now very strong. In particular, several newly developed weapons developed by Spain have caused a stir in the world. Great concern. If you stand up to oppose at this time, who knows whether the weapons purchase memorandum negotiated with Alfonso XIII will be ruined because of this. Just look at the hesitation of the kings around you. , they knew that others had the same idea as them, so no one was willing to take the lead and offend Spain.

After all, this is very likely to be Spain's main target country. Just look at Bulgaria, Selivia and other countries that have a deep hatred for the Ottoman Empire. Others who are far away from the influence of the Ottoman Empire have not spoken out. The country feels that it is not worthwhile to do so. Therefore, Nicholas II did not see the scene he expected. Frederica VIII of Denmark wanted to provide support, but after some hesitation, he gave up. Because he also understands the worries of other countries. He knows that it doesn't matter if they don't buy weapons for him. They are also worried that Spain will sell a large amount of weapons to its enemy countries or neighboring countries in retaliation, which will in turn create a crisis for them. Spain can definitely do this, and Frederick absolutely believes it.

"So, I think the Ottoman Empire should become a member of the club. What do you think, His Majesty Nicholas II?"
