Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 389: Spain’s Intention: African Railway!

After those reporters digested the news with trembling fear, they asked with increasing excitement: "Is Spain now ready to deal with France and Italy, which have already been very concerned about Ethiopia? And, as far as I know, It seems that there is nothing in Ethiopia that Spain can see. What is Spain’s intention? I think many people will be interested.”

Trini said in shock: "However, that is what many people have seen, but we have many ways to make Ethiopia more important. Among them, there is the Ethiopian railway, because we in Spain are ready. Spain will build a railway across Greater Africa on its own.”

"What" "a railway across Africa? This is simply unbelievable. Spain actually has such an idea?"

"It's Gao."

A reporter has now caught a question. This person is Rafa, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times in the United States. He thought of a question, that is, it seems that in terms of territory, Spain’s allies and territories are somewhat disconnected, right? [

Rafa: "Mr. Trini, it seems that we understand your country's efforts over the years, and we finally understand why Spain is between Gabon, Spanish Congo, Cameroon and Central Africa. The reasons for your country's actions are... One problem is that in the east, we can know that the outlet to the sea is the southern region ruled by Hibinaya of Somalia, and now we know Ethiopia, Spain’s new ally. However, as far as I know, it seems that in Africa Those connected territories are separated by Sudan. Northern Sudan is governed by Egypt, a British ally, while southern Sudan is controlled by the British and managed by the British North Africa Headquarters in Kenya. Yes, will the Spanish railway be subject to the British? Also, it seems that we have not heard that the British Parliament has agreed to the construction of this railway and held any parliamentary meeting, right?"

"Bang" sound. Rafa's words. But one person's words immediately silenced the entire press conference. At this time, everyone woke up from the shock just now, yes. It was a British colony there. well known. The British are a very stingy and greedy country. If a white dove flies in the sky and passes from London, it has to automatically ask for a feather as a greeting gift to London in order to pass. Under such a premise, it seems unlikely that the UK will allow Spain's plan to come to fruition.

After all, if this railway is opened, it means that the value of the Suez Canal controlling Egypt will be reduced a lot. Just look at it, after arriving from Asia to the Indian Ocean, if you reach the Suez Canal through the Red Sea, you will be inspected by the British. , if you don’t accept it, you can return to Europe in South Africa in southern Africa, but that will increase the distance several times. It takes one or two months to return to Europe and half a month is definitely a long time. a concept.

So we can see the importance of building the Suez Canal. However, now Spain actually wants to build a large railway across Africa, which definitely has a very stressful effect. A large railway artery with both entry and exit ports controlled by Spain. This is definitely not what the UK likes to see, so this has to go through a British colony. Can the UK agree? It seems difficult. Anyone who has a sense of crisis will generally avoid the birth of a railway like MNY.

But a voice suddenly screamed. After a female reporter screamed and everyone looked over, she realized that her scream was inappropriate. However, she didn't care about it at this time, as if she was about to get sick. He said loudly like he was showing off:

, "Oops, last month the British government agreed to a big deal with Spain. Spain is willing to exchange Britain's now scarce oil resources for South Sudan. The final result is that Spain is willing to provide Britain with oil resources within 4 years. In exchange for providing 10 million barrels of oil free of charge, an agreement has been signed on the handover order of 1 million barrels, 2 million barrels, 3 million barrels and 4 million barrels, and at the request of Spain, two weeks ago It has been passed in the House of Lords and the House of Commons without any publicity. The handover was carried out last week."

"What, that means South Sudan now belongs to Spain?" asked one of the male reporters who was familiar with the female reporter. The female reporter nodded and said, "Yes."

After receiving affirmative recovery from the female reporter, everyone recalled that this seemed to have been under Spain's control all along. Could it be said that without His Majesty Alfonso XIII, Spain would still be as powerful as before? , and are you still so confident? Looking at Spanish Prime Minister Chávez, who was sitting quietly on the stage and had never said a word, and Spanish Foreign Minister Trini, who was still standing, many people felt lost at this moment.

Trini has been replaced by Spanish Transport Minister Horch.

“This railway runs from the port city of Mogadishu in Spanish Somalia in the east to Dibi in Ethiopia, then to Naglai, Wendo, Albamenchi, and then west to Juba and Albamenchi in Spanish South Sudan. Maadi, Liyoub, and then to Obo, Bangassu, Bambari, and Bangui in Spanish Central Africa, and then in the form of bifurcated routes, at two African seaports in Spain, and one is through Cameroon. Bertouas is located in Douala on the Spanish side of Cameroon; the other one runs south through Salou in Central Africa to Keita in the Spanish Congo, then to Larara in Gabon and Lieber, the largest city in Liberia. We also plan to build a coastal railway in the coastal area, starting from Mayomba in Gabon in the south to Port Gentil, the largest port, then north to Libreville, to Bata in Equatorial Guinea, and then to Douala in Cameroon .This is our plan at the Spanish Ministry of Transport”

No one will say anything else, because this has already made people want to speak. With this series of plans in Spain, people in the world already know that tomorrow the world will be shocked again, and this time it will be more sensational than before. It will definitely be unprecedented, especially in Africa. This time it will definitely reach the level of an 8-magnitude earthquake.
