Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

The current per capita income in Spain is around 1,800 pesetas. That is to say, if according to the foreign policy, it is 180 pesetas. Now the Ottoman Empire is only about 100 pesetas. For 100,000 people, you can get 18 million pesetas. If according to the foreign With the taxes returned from labor, the government can obtain nearly 6 million pesetas, which is more than one-tenth of the current Ottoman Empire's finances. This is such an objective income. He felt like he was drooling just thinking about this.

Thinking of this, he called his Minister of the Interior and prepared to ask him to contact Spain more closely to obtain more economic help from Spain. In addition, the Ottoman Empire was willing to lease the Haifa port. Give more ports to Spain, just hope that Spain is willing to agree to the conditions of the Ottoman Empire.

Mohammed V thought of the port leased by the Austro-Hungarian Empire some time ago. Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire could no longer protect itself. Especially after appreciating the harshness of Spain's methods, Mohammed V felt cold in his heart. Therefore, he expressed his desire to express his gratitude as soon as possible. The only thing is attitude. After all, when it comes to the rental issue at this time, there is already something wrong.

Therefore, he is ready to throw this mess out, and the most suitable one is Spain. After all, Spain has now become an ally of Hungary. How can this new ally inherit most of the new heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, such as Croatia? As well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is also the occupied area on the road that is now connected to the Romanian port of Constanta, Hungary, at this time. If we obtain the lease rights of several ports such as Samsun in the Ottoman Empire, then Hungary will finally be able to truly enter the Black Sea. Similarly, Spain can also rely on the help of these ports and Hungary to completely enter the Black Sea. With a firm foothold inside, the Ottoman Empire of its own, by then, should not be completely trapped in the situation of facing the powerful Tsarist Russia alone.

Cut to Madrid.

"Next person"

This time it was surprising that the Austro-Hungarian Empire was chosen. No. He should be a reporter from the "Neue Wiener Zeitung", a newspaper in the Kingdom of Austria.

"Hello, I am a reporter from the Vienna Daily News." The reporter first announced his family name with some embarrassment, and then said dissatisfiedly: "I would like to ask Your Majesty, this time Spain and Hungary will form an alliance. Are there many unknown things in it?

And Hungary seems to be still a member of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But. What we are facing now is that you just said that the Kingdom of Hungary has formed an alliance with Spain, which you represent. Such confusing things. What makes us a little confused is that Vienna should be very angry now. Also, I wonder if you will notice that after this news is announced, as allies, the German Empire and the Kingdom of Italy may face Spain The pressure is greater. "

"There is pressure. Even when I was a child, when I had a tooth pulled out, I would insist on not having the tooth pulled out because I was afraid of pain. However, in the end, I still obeyed because I later understood that if I didn't This no longer has a positive effect on you, but on the contrary, it has a negative effect on your teeth. This has made me realize a big truth, that is, it does not bring you good things. Sometimes, you can Omit its existence, or simply obliterate it."

Alfonso glanced at the reporter and then moved away, his eyes drifting away, and he seemed to be in a trance: "This world has made people feel dazzled, but there are some things that people still need to understand clearly, such as say me"

He said with soft eyes: "I think Hungary is a country that is very suitable for being an ally of Spain and is even similar to the existence of an ally like Portugal."

"As for what you said about not hearing the news that the two countries have not separated yet and broke up peacefully, in fact, there is no need for men and women to really make it public. In fact, you can go back to Vienna and ask your senior government officials. , maybe they already knew it and would be hesitant. After all, sometimes your sources of information are not as good as those in power? How wrong?"

Alfonso's words made the reporter feel a little embarrassed, and at the same time he also had some doubts in his heart. Yes, it seemed that he had not consulted the headquarters. If the government really had such an agreement, then what he said now could be He was really offending the other party. Thinking of this, he looked at Alfonso XIII worriedly.

Because if you offend this king, you will have too many inconveniences in the world in the future. For example, when you interview brothels, you may face resistance from this industry in Asia, Europe, South America and other regions. , and the same is true for the gambling industry. After all, the place where Spanish management or indirect influence has the greatest concentration is where these industries are most concentrated. Even in industry, Spain itself and its allies represent a new force.

In addition to Hungary, etc., if you are on the blacklist, then even though your starting point is good, after all, you are patriotic. Everyone understands that everyone understands that everyone has such a heart, but these are secondary. , after all, in the newspaper industry, if a reporter no longer has the professional ability to conduct interviews everywhere, does this reporter still have the potential to become a great reporter? Also, after losing international exposure, can he still be regarded as an international reporter?

Therefore, his face suddenly showed the connection of bitter gourd.

The senior officials in Vienna were suspicious of each other, and even turned their attention to Archduke Ferdinand, who was now acting as the king. However, seeing the expression on his face becoming darker, everyone Everyone already knows what the answer is.

However, Alfonso's voice came slowly, like hammering sounds that hurt his heart.

"As for the Italian and German Empire you mentioned, whether they will retaliate, I don't know, but I know better. I am now doing what I think is right. As for whether to retaliate or not, etc. Yes, it’s really a matter of opinion. I heard that because Vienna has a large number of Prussian ethnic groups, these areas are more willing to integrate into the rule of the German Empire, while other ethnic groups, such as Slovakia, etc., are more willing to integrate into the rule of the German Empire. This is true, but for ethnic groups in the south such as Hungary, this may not necessarily be possible.

Therefore, this has determined a lot of things. Several places in the south still feel that it is more efficient to establish a country to rule. For example, this time, someone revealed that Spain paid 500 million pesetas to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Hungary However, they were only allocated 150 million and so on, and the 50 million more was obtained after a long struggle. This has triggered an upsurge of protests and dissatisfaction. These were all expected by everyone. So, after all, In the end, it is you who cause the consequences. As for outsiders, they can only add fuel to the flames, don’t you think?

Finally, the 500 million mentioned just now was actually originally intended to be given to Hungary and other southern regions. It was only done that way because of the administrative control of Vienna, the capital of Hungary. But now it is finally a different situation, and Austria Now that we have the assistance of the German Empire, an economic, political and military power, I don’t think we need our loan. For this reason, Spain is willing to lend these 500 million pesetas to Hungary at low interest rates. "

Also, this is just an item of special concern. We in Spain will also provide military assistance. For example, we will transfer two active dreadnoughts to the territory of Hungary at half the price of the conference. One will be placed in Constanta and the other will be transferred to Hungary. The ship will be placed in the port of Split on the Adriatic Sea. Finally, we will officially sell our most advanced new firearms and semi-automatic rifles to each other for the first time.

and aircraft, etc. In short, everyone will see that a new Spanish alliance will appear on the Balkan Peninsula and Central and Eastern Europe. It will be there in the form of a real voice that represents our Spanish voice, yes, it will be our spokesperson, the true spokesperson of Spanish interests. "

Spanish spokesperson for Central and Eastern Europe?

Everyone was stunned when they heard Alfonso's novel vocabulary, and a lot of discussion ensued.

"Is this the beginning of Spain's expansion into Central and Eastern Europe? Or is it that Spain has begun to act unscrupulously and is preparing to start a turf war in Eastern and Central Europe? After all, after a few months of calm, Spain This unexpected reversal of such expansionary actions, the meaning of this is really difficult to understand. I hope God will bless Central and Eastern Europe to continue to have peace, not the other way around."————France Paris Dawn.

"The process of human beings evolves in many aspects. Therefore, if there are losses, there must be gains. While we can hone ourselves, we can also upgrade ourselves to evolve ourselves. Now Spain has an influence in the world. This time in Can Spain succeed in Central and Eastern Europe, a region that even the United Kingdom has difficulty entering? The German Empire, as well as powerful countries such as Tsarist Russia, Italy, and Austria, are really willing to watch this new superpower in Western Europe slowly approach them step by step. Encroaching on their sphere of influence?” ————— Financial Times.

These two articles are more provocative, and obviously their most obvious meaning is that they want these countries to fight with Spain. Regardless of the frustration of two losses or whatever, they will win.

The most strange thing is that Japan's attitude in the Far East is unexpected. Even Alfonso XIII became furious after hearing this. This country. What did you say that got so much attention? (To be continued...)
