Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

() Trini had to admit that Kirk’s words gave all reporters a map of Spain that looked more like it was intervening in American politics. That was in the west, where Spain, when it was originally a colonial power, had A large number of survivors were left there, and now, after many years, Spain has come back to rule there again just like it did in South America, but it is mostly done through economic strength and behind-the-scenes operations, such as Speaking of the current Progressive Party, it is obvious that it is composed of Spanish survivors, so Kirk's words now allow everyone to quickly connect with Spain. Ice and Fire! Chinese ..

This made Trini unable to refute the other party for a while, because it was like a person who took something from someone else's house and wanted to borrow it, but the owner was not at home, waiting for urgent use. He planned to take it home and use it before coming back to say hello, but as soon as he walked out of the door, the owner came back. He blocked the door and said that he had stolen someone's things. When the evidence of this matter was conclusive, the owner had already decided whether to borrow it or not. The xing is given, so there is not much room for change in this matter.

"Spain does have a very difficult influence in the United States. We have never denied this." Trini's words made everyone present startled. Then after they woke up, they quickly wrote down every word in their notebooks. recorded.

However, there was still someone present who was not recorded. That person was Rafa. Rafa was a true Spanish remnant. It was even said that his ancestors were descendants of Spanish nobles and were originally colonists. colonized California. However, during the Colonial Revolutionary War in 1821, his grandfather's grandfather had to choose to give up his identity as a colonist and become a member of the newly established Mexican government. However, from 1846 to 1848, In the United States-Mexican War, Mexico failed to cede California, Arizona, and New Mexico. The Rafa family, which has been rooted in California for many years, also followed Yi Qi and became Americans. More than sixty years have passed, and although they now regard themselves as Americans, their honor as nobles still remains in their hearts as before. This is something that every noble has not forgotten.

The decline of Spain made the survivors very disappointed. They watched the British thrive in the United States and the French were so arrogant in the southeast. Seeing the immigrants from the German Empire rising rapidly like comets, they are becoming more and more important in the United States. Even the Dutch and Belgians have a higher status in the United States than the Spaniards, and they feel even more important in their hearts. It's unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it. Every time he would think of his grandfather and father's words.

"Sigh. California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and other states in the south and west where our Spaniards live are all latecomers to the United States. Those in the east and north, such as the British, French, and Dutch, have already occupied the center of the United States. and the top position of the capital world pyramid. So it is difficult for us to exert influence in Washington and New York, and they will not let us Spaniards seize their share of interests there. So, if one day, When California and Texas, places where we occupy a large number of people, can rise in the United States, and when the country of Spain can rise again in the world and influence the American government and no longer despise us Hispanic nationals, then we Then he can truly rise in the American government. Alas, Rafa, grandpa may never see such a situation happen in his lifetime. I hope that this scene will appear in your father's and your world. In that way, as the Count of the Kingdom of Spain, I feel relieved about the future generations.”

Looking at Trini talking eloquently while sitting in the chairman's seat, Rafa's eyes were a little moist. Grandpa's wish was finally coming true. Now that California is rapidly rising in the United States, the Progressive Party led by Hispanics has become the third largest political party in the United States. According to what he knew through secret information, something similar is now brewing in Texas. action. In this way, if it is really successful, and these two states that have become very important in the United States are rising more rapidly, then the status of Hispanics in the United States will definitely reach the level, although it is not as good as that of British people. . But they can definitely surpass the Dutch, Belgians, Italians, and Germans to the point of being on par with the French. In addition, Spain is now more powerful than France in the outside world. It can be said that they have become the most powerful people in the United States. A political force that absolutely cannot be ignored, coupled with the rise of the California Consortium and the Texas Consortium, which are now at least the top seven consortiums in the United States.

Either way, Hispanics are thriving in the United States. It has reached an unstoppable point.

Trini looked at Rafa who was in a daze somewhere strangely, thinking that this reporter didn't write like the others. He was really a bit different, but he didn't mean to care about other people's affairs.

He said: "Yes, Spain does have a huge influence in the United States, just like the British government there. It is even said that a newly admitted minister of the French government immigrated back to Paris from the United States. This all shows that , the United States is indeed a large country composed of European immigrants. As a part of the United States, everyone probably knows the proportion of Hispanics in the United States, but about 20% of the population is Hispanic. This is only smaller than Only 35% of the British people are Hispanic. There is one Hispanic in five people. This ratio is not generally large. There are 20 million Spaniards living in the United States. This is definitely something that we in the Kingdom of Spain cannot ignore. , because don’t forget, many of them have intricate blood relationships with our native land.

We have no reason not to care about them just because they live in the United States. They are not like the British, because many British people are made up of British prisoners and so on. They were prisoners who were brought into the country by the British government many years ago. A place of exile, so many British descendants are descendants of British exiles, and we Hispanics are all truly descendants of Spain. They are our pride and our elites. "

Trini said with sympathy on his face: "They only have a stable life now after experiencing disastrous wars such as the Anti-Japanese War and the territorial disputes between the United States and Mexico. I and the Spanish government, Everyone in the Kingdom of Spain does not want our compatriots to face such a disaster again, so it is normal for us to care about them. As for the influence you mentioned, I think it is precisely because of our concern that "They are proud of being Spanish, so it's fair to say that our association is our influence on them."

As soon as Trini finished speaking, Hansen raised his hand again.

Trini knew this person. He had seen this reporter from the "Chicago Times" at several major press conferences before. Like Kirk and Rafa from the "Los Angeles Times", they were all difficult guys. But he didn't mean to refuse him. Because he likes to accept some difficult questions at press conferences. He likes this feeling of laughing and talking about wind and rain.

Hansen had obviously understood what Trini was thinking and had already prepared: "Mr. Trini, the question I am thinking about is that regarding the current situation in the United States, you just mentioned [Spain] because of the number of Hispanics. For many reasons, it is also a very representative group that has huge influence. However, what I want to say is that in fact, this may make people misunderstand that in the United States, as long as there are a large number of ethnic groups, they have huge influence. I think this is wrong, after all, other financial support is needed.

In the United States, many people are talking about not only the large number of Hispanics in the United States, but actually more people are talking about the improvement of the status of Hispanics in the financial industry in the United States. Especially the two major consortiums, the California consortium and the Texas consortium. It is said that the business networks of these two major consortiums are inextricably linked to Spain. Many people say that this is a behemoth that the Spanish government deliberately cultivated in the United States to influence the domestic situation in the United States. I don’t know, do you have anything to say or explain to the American people about this statement? "

explain? Trini curled his lips. Spain needs to explain to them that this is a very absurd thing. But these are just thoughts in my mind. Some things are better to be hypocritical.

Therefore, Trini said patiently: "Spain is currently conducting transactions with businessmen from large consortiums all over the world. We do not separate people of any origin and do not do [business] with them. We all We treat everyone equally. When doing business with them, of course, those who are most beneficial to us should be ranked first in priority. I think not only other countries, but every other business person thinks so. of."

Hansen said at this time: "I don't know, Foreign Secretary, is this most beneficial politically or commercially? Which one of them takes priority?"

Coo coo coo! Hansen's words immediately made everyone present become very solemn, and when they looked at Trini, they also had more expectations. Yes, when you say the most advantageous, you mean the most advantageous political position in the country. What about interests? Or were they just talking about ordinary business interests? What Trini said just now almost deceived everyone, but now Hansen said this, it made everyone wake up and secretly felt ashamed in their hearts. They looked at Hansen's At that time, I felt a little more admired. And they are even more looking forward to the answer from Trini, the Spanish Foreign Minister.

First update.
