Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 268 A strange question

"What a shame. It would be great if they had a fight in the Far East."

"But Your Majesty, this is not the best result. Does Your Majesty think that Spain alone can defeat the combined strength of Britain and France? Don't forget, Burma's past India was the only country where Britain could defeat the United Kingdom and France. The base camp outside is not Spain’s southeastern Indian Ocean, South Pacific or Western Pacific, and besides, there are still French people keeping them in check.”

"That's true, but Spain seems to have little chance of winning. If it loses, it will put more pressure on our side." It's not that William II doesn't understand this truth, but everyone can be lucky. Heart, so he really needed such a scene to appear, but obviously, Spain, France and the United Kingdom were not prepared to hold such a feast there head-on, so he who wanted to watch a show was naturally disappointed. . .

"But your Majesty, there is no need to worry. This matter is probably not over yet, and there is no chance." At this point, Tirpitz revealed his extremely intelligent eyes.

"Oh?" William II abandoned the world map and turned to look at Tirpitz, hoping that he would give him a clear idea. It was obvious at a glance.

"Your Majesty, it is obvious that Spain supports the Kingdom of Siam in Bangkok. In this case, the Golden Retriever in Bangkok is still repeatedly emphasizing its condemnation of Cambodia, which is supported by the British, and Laos, which is supported by the French. This shows that there may still be a conflict. Dots are buried inside. Maybe this is the root of the future between them. After all, it only lasts for one day. Bangkok does not recognize the existence of those two countries, which means that even the two countries will face military attacks from Bangkok. Although It is not very possible now, but this is something that Yinggu and France should be vigilant about. Therefore, the next step is to see how they resolve the origin of such a conflict. You said, if they do not control it well, this matter will not happen. Will there really be a war? After all, not long ago, Bangkok suddenly attacked Chiang Rai in the north, Ubon Ratchathani in the east, and Battambang in the south because of hiding prisoners. And it was a huge success. It must have been greatly expanded. If the Bangkok Army does not have the intention to unify Siam and then take back the other two regions, few people believe it."

"So what you're thinking is" William II was a little confused. But there are still some unclear thoughts.

We can recognize Bangkok's rule over the entire Kingdom of Siam. Same time. We should also quickly establish diplomatic relations with the Siamese state under the rule of Vacharajong in Bangkok, and buy weapons from them in large quantities, and the prices are still far lower than those in Europe. Of course, you won't do it at a loss. At most, you will only make less money. You think, if we show our sincerity like this, will Siam open the sky to us now?

At least, I think that by then, the people of Siam will definitely have a good impression of us. If Spain does nothing, then in the hearts of the Siamese people, Spain will naturally be clearly classified as a country that only wants to make money in Siam but does not want to bear the alliance agreement. The German Empire is just the opposite. The German Empire The generous assistance should make the citizens of Siam think that the German Empire is sincerely helping them. After all, with weapons, they will be able to resist the British and France, and with weapons, it will be possible to quickly unify their country. A country with a long history.

According to our familiarity and understanding, it is said that in the Eastern world, the recognition of history is very serious and respectful, especially when it comes to the sense of history in our own country, there is an almost paranoid attitude, so as long as we play these cards well Spain wants to continue to maintain their influence in Siam, especially Siam under the rule of Bangkok, and if they want to maintain their influence among the people, then they will only do something to protect Siam. You can give up your seat to us, which Spain will never allow.”

"You are saying that we are forcing and putting pressure on Spain, and our assistance is a blow for Spain to protect the country's interests in Siam and be recognized by the Protectorate of Siam, so that Siam can wake up and ask Spain to pay "More actions will be taken to maintain Spain's dominance in Siam." William II was also a little moved by this. It was obvious that this would increase the German Empire's influence in Asia, but Te also felt a little worried and hesitant. Because, although it has added a lot of influence, it is still marginalized. Moreover, will this offend Spain? After all, it is more like putting small shoes on Spain and causing trouble for others. How will Spain’s anger burn? It still made him a little hesitant.

"What is your Majesty worried about?" Tirpitz naturally saw William II's hesitation, so he asked.

William II expressed his worries. Although he didn't want to talk about the previous relationship with Spain, he had to admit that a stable German-Spanish relationship could reduce a lot of worries and pressure on the Vice-German Empire, so Regarding the matter of antagonism with Spain, he is still the same as he was a few years ago, and continues to be extremely cautious.

Tirpitz naturally understood that it was not unreasonable to worry. After all, Spain was becoming more and more powerful, and compared with the major powers surrounding the German Empire such as Britain, France, and Russia, Spain posed a far greater threat to Russia. Lower than them, so although Spain has actually surpassed the German Empire in terms of international influence, and is close to the German Empire in terms of hardware, the German Empire still welcomes the emergence of such Spain, because the emergence of Spain to a certain extent, His power has reduced the pressure that Britain and other countries have invisibly put on the German Empire, especially since it can divert their attention from time to time, which has only been focused on the German Empire. Now it has been shifting to Spain from time to time. This is definitely a very good thing for the German Empire.

"Don't worry, they should also know our thoughts and intentions, so they will only give us some verbal dissatisfaction at most. In fact, they should also face the pressure of Wacharajun, a famously filial son. After all, even Wachara He saw clearly that the situation in the world was not good for him and Spain, but his inner thoughts were naturally known to the whole world. His father's country was ruined and divided by his own hands. This was definitely a very sad thing for him. Several people in Madrid Naturally, you should understand this, so we are just providing Wacharazhong with an opportunity to vent, and Spain should also understand that blocking without letting go is not a good idea. Maybe they will be grateful to us for helping them How about breaking through this layer of paper so that they can be honest with each other?"

When he said the last word, he laughed, and William II thought about it, it was really like that, and admitted Tirpitz's statement. Based on his understanding of the little guy Alfonso XIII, this way The idea is really possible...

But is it really what they said?

In Madrid, talks between Alfonso and Trini are still ongoing.

"That's fine." Alfonso nodded, indicating that he understood.

Trini naturally knew what to do when he saw this expression.

"Since Your Majesty has already evolved into this, why do you still stop their du li? I have always been a little puzzled by this. Since Your Majesty has already had the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Siam, but you have We have not taken any action to suppress Prince Nalapi and Prince Apiyo. You must know that a few years ago, we had in our hands the letters between the two of them communicating with France and the United Kingdom, and even signed If they were able to obtain du li of their sphere of influence, they would be willing to cede tariff rights to Britain, France and other countries. If such a letter had been published as soon as it was announced, it would definitely have caused a backlash in the direction of Bangkok, which is their sphere of influence. The current citizens of the Kingdom of Laos and the Kingdom of Cambodia are opposed to it. If that is the case, it will definitely be very difficult for Lapi and Apyo to gain any public approval, and they even sold these designs privately. They were condemned and driven out of office for their national interests.

Rather than like now, relying on what you say, after du li, you people will become a new country of your own. At that time, you will no longer be affected by those powerful and wealthy people in Bangkok. Oppression, you will have more autonomy to participate in the national construction of our Kingdom of Laos, and you will have more opportunities to change your living environment, instead of living exclusively for the people in Bangkok like you do now."

Seeing Trini complaining about himself endlessly, he was not angry. In fact, according to what Trini said and what he knew, this understanding is very reasonable. After all, it is a pity to keep hiding the cards in your hand without playing them out, which has caused the current consequences. , However, if what Trini didn't know is that he had already discovered a strange problem, that is, why there has been no shadow of Edward VII in the UK during this period. This has been the case since this year. This would have been Things worthy of great attention, obviously the world was under the guidance of the British, but Alfonso did not care about it. He even doubted that the actions of the Siamese country were because the British wanted to be here. Make things bigger and then change your focus.

Because Alfonso knows very well that historically, May 10th this year is
