Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was an unexpected surprise. Spain and the Austrian royal family have always had a blood connection, just like the British royal family and the Prussian royal family. There is still a marriage relationship between the two royal families. Yes, according to current theory, whether they are hostile, friendly, or vassal, the royal families of various countries all have noble blood. They can only marry with noble blood, because in this way they can maintain the noble genes in their blood. Therefore, , royal and royal marriages or noble marriages are already channels for royal marriages in various countries.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire is Spain's important marriage partner. Many of Alfonso's previous generations of ancestors were married to the Austrian royal family. After that, it was mainly France and Italy. As for Alfonso's current Britain, actually counting , which is quite special. After all, his mother was the Archduchess of Austria, and his great-grandmother was from Sicily, Italy. The sister of this great-grandmother was the queen of Louis XVI of France. There are many others like it.

But generally speaking, the two royal families of Austria and Spain have a very close relationship. Therefore, it can be explained that Joseph I turned to Spain this time. After all, the two countries are separated in the northeast and southwest of the Mediterranean, with various countries in between. It is difficult for the interests of the two countries to get entangled in overlap. Therefore, there is a natural ally factor.

As for the Ottoman Empire, Alfonso really didn't have much illusions. Although Spain was also a country with a very large religion, it had carried out the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and technology over the years. Religious beliefs have not changed. At least Catholicism is still popular among the people. However, to a certain extent, it is no longer as comparable to their royal power as before. His prestige has reached a very high level. level. After various negative religious events that broke out before, some people have lowered their enthusiasm, and the overflowing water has flowed into Alfonso's bottle.

but. This Ottoman Empire was different. The Ottoman Empire is the main country of the extremely hot Islamic religion. The religion here is definitely the kind of fanaticism. For this reason, it even far outweighs the royal power. Just look at what is now the Ottoman Empire. Abdul Hamid II was overthrown by these people. Then ushered in his brother, Mohammed V went up, and obviously. After these years of development, in the past three years, Muhammad V seems to continue to use Islamic teachings in governing the country. This method of governing the country is definitely very, very dangerous, because. No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit like implementing a system that combines politics and religion. It is easy to have disagreements and uneven distribution of interests, which will cause huge friction and then lead to internal wars, thereby destroying its external environment.

"It is the most difficult to deal with such a country. On the one hand, their national government needs to negotiate, and the interests of religions need to be taken into account. Such cumbersomeness is naturally not what Alfonso wants to see. Trini has been He did a good job, but not everyone has Alfonso's work efficiency. If one person doesn't handle it well, it will easily lead to trouble. The Soviet Union and the United States in later generations were because of Afghanistan. Both of them lowered their noble heads in front of the [Tali] class.

Therefore, Alfonso does not think that Spain under his rule can complete the conquest of such a country. Therefore, he has no longer thought of conquering the other party. He is just trying his best to do business and plunder. The country's markets and resources are for the purpose only. What Alfonso values ​​more now is that the Ottoman Empire at this time can carry out operations to cover Spain and can be the target of attack by Spain's front-line enemies, without becoming an enemy of Spain's front-line and being won over by others. This is one of the purposes.

Russia, this is one of the countries that Alfonso cares about most. Russia's every move over the years has become what Alfonso is most concerned about, especially those who are stringing together communists underground. No one can know about it. , these are the things that even Nicholas II doesn’t care too much about now,

Who would have thought that Nicholas II would prepare wholeheartedly for Russia to participate in the game of European powers in the world, and when he was fighting to the west with all his strength, when he was extremely weak at home, he would actually give them a blow. fatal.

After Stolypin came to power in 1906, he relied on iron-fist policies to maintain the Tsar's autocracy politically, brutally suppressed liberalism and socialism, and implemented oligarchic capitalist policies economically and implemented land privatization reforms. , has achieved rapid economic growth in Russia in recent years, but due to its extremely uneven predatory privatization reforms, it is unfair and unjust to the people at the bottom, so the people at the bottom have not been able to benefit from it, and the people at the bottom have even been affected by it. When they became disguised slaves of energetic people, their private property was damaged. In World War I, these lower class people were forced to participate in the war by the state. The lower class suffered heavy casualties and thus reached the breaking point of dissatisfaction with the tsarist rule. Finally, after the outbreak of the October Revolution, the Tsarist rule was quickly overthrown. Under the leadership of Lenin, the Soviet regime that influenced the world was established.

Nicholas II did not pay attention, and the [capitalist] leaders such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and France did not pay attention. This does not mean that the [centralized] [capitalist] leader of Alfonso did not pay attention. The world now includes the implementation of this kind of governance. Lenin, who was plotting to overthrow Tsar Nicholas II through institutional propaganda, would never have imagined that the group of people under his leadership would form such a superpower.

Although Alfonso does not want such a system that threatens his rule to enter Spain, after all, it is definitely a threat to the status of Spain under his rule. In the space where he is not around, Spain is still one of the countries where this political party is active until the 21st century. , Therefore, this had to make him extremely vigilant.

As the source, Tsarist Russia is the key to his attention. Due to the bad relationship with Tsarist Russia in recent years, Spain is definitely one of the countries with the most spies deployed in Tsarist Russia.

Not much less than the United States.

Speaking of the United States, Alfonso can be said to be the most comprehensive and has the most spies among all countries. Because he knows that Spain's future, whether it is an opponent or a partner, its biggest presence is definitely with the United States. How could he not strike first against such an opponent?

After these years of deployment, Spain has laid a big net in the world. This net, and this big net that has been laid out for more than ten years, it is time to close it once and have a big meal. The time has come. (To be continued...)
