Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"What, are you sure?" Edward VII has never relaxed his observation of Alfonso XIII. For this senior, he believes that few kings who are loved by the country today dare to underestimate him.

The king has been on the throne for 22 years since 1986, and he has only been king for 7 years since 1901. Needless to say, they are comparing who has more experience in being a king. Although he is young, his experience can make up for his lack of experience. This is the current view of Edward VII.

"Yes, just this morning, the presidents of Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador all appeared together at the place where King Alfonso XIII of Spain gave him a rest. After two hours of closed-door talks, I don’t know the content, but I only know that His Majesty Alfonso XIII sent him out of the door when he came out, and the five people said goodbye with smiles on their faces, talking and laughing.”

Talking and laughing? The four of them showed up at Alfonso's place together? Listening to Asquith's words, Edward VII murmured.

"Go, call Prince Arthur over, and tell him that I have urgent matters to discuss with him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After about 30 minutes, Prince Arthur finally sat next to him. And Edward VII asked Asquith to repeat what he had just said.

"What do you think?" Looking at Prince Arthur who was silent, Edward VII asked. Originally, he and Asquith could resolve such a matter through discussion and draw a conclusion. Even Asquith had already drawn up a plan, but he didn't expect that Edward VII would call Prince Arthur over for discussion. Of course, he would store the manuscript in his stomach first, otherwise it would seem that he was a little bit Greedy for merit and rash advancement.

"Let's see what the Prime Minister thinks first?" Prince Arthur did not answer Edward VII directly, but asked Asquith first.

When Asquith was wondering whether he should express his opinion, Prince Arthur fulfilled his wish by asking. He just went along with the flow and expressed his thoughts. As for whether he agrees with it or not, that is no longer within his scope.

"I think this is an obvious signal that Spain has turned its attention to South America. And I got a piece of news before, that is, during yesterday's opening ceremony, US Secretary of State Elihu Rutte specifically We talked with His Majesty Alfonso XIII, and according to the news we got, they were not very happy when talking. And combined with what we learned about morality before, the reason why South America came to participate in this event organized by the empire this time The Olympic Games were held with the support of Spain, which means that the entire trip of the four South American countries this time was carried out under the arrangement of the Spanish Empire. What is surprising is that all the four South American countries agreed. Moreover, talks among the five countries were held, and it seemed that they were very happy. Perhaps this also leads to the conclusion that Spain's South American strategy has achieved initial success."

"Will that have an impact on the empire?" Edward VII was very concerned about Spain's strategic issues in South America, because Britain also had many interests in South America. This time, it seems that Spain has opened the four-nation operation in South America explosively at once, which is a bit like opening Pandora's box. This is dangerous for the United Kingdom. After all, the most important thing for the United Kingdom now is to have a stable environment. Digest nutrients provided by the colony.

"Regarding this, your Majesty, please rest assured that our interests are mainly on the Atlantic side, such as Argentina, the market of Brazil, and the islands that belong to us in the Caribbean. And those four countries are all on that side of the Pacific. The interests of our empire But there are very few." Asquith dispelled Edward VII's worries. He also understood Edward VII's worries. Now there is really no need for the empire to continue arguing with Spain. There is already a tendency for reconciliation, but if something goes wrong here, all the previous plans will be in vain. ….

"Actually, the United States should be worried about?" Prince Arthur said at this time.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Edward VII said with interest. In fact, with his mind, he certainly knew that the United States would be most affected by the Spanish Empire's actions. After all, the United States has always opposed the participation of other countries. When it comes to American affairs, the United States is also smart and knows to keep its established interests in the control of Zhimin country without violating the interests of the colonial powers Britain and France. As a result, Britain and France did not oppose the U.S. policy too fiercely, which was regarded as acknowledgment of the U.S.'s dominance in American affairs. Of course, the premise is that there is a reason.

The United States proposed that it did not want European powers to invade the Americas. This was based on the fact that the European powers were in the game period at that time and had no time to take care of the Americas. In order not to increase their opponents in vain, the United States' request received a silent response. . Over the past hundred years, the United States has gained a huge rear area and a safe surrounding environment, which has greatly increased the country's comprehensive strength in various indicators, and some have even reached the world's leading level. And because of the security and the many channels for making money through public issuance, many wealthy Europeans and technical personnel immigrated there to take refuge. Finally, the United States, the current great power, was formed.

Edward VII knew this, Prime Minister Asquith knew this, and Prince Arthur also knew this, but he still told them again.

"From the content of this article previously serialized by "International Wire", we can see that the United States has great ambitions and is very good at sizing up the situation. In recent years, the wars between our European powers have caused deep concern in the hearts of people, including the empire. Panic. In the end, the United States became the biggest gainer. Although our empire was the final winner every time, it also caused the fear of Napoleon in France and the fear of the German Empire, the most powerful country in Europe for decades. Preparation, I even wonder if the big powers in Europe will be on guard against Britain in the future. If they want to win the war, they should first plan based on defeating Britain. We should pay attention to this, after all, we need it on the ground at all times. Be prepared for the sudden appearance of a very hostile country.”

Prince Arthur glanced at the two. Then he continued: "We have become a thorn in the side of the country that wants to dominate, while the United States continues to develop rapidly without worries, freedom and freedom. In comparison, which one is lighter, heavier, higher and worse? It’s very clear. So I think that the Spanish Empire’s participation in the Americas this time is not only not harmful to the Empire, but we should even discuss what benefits we can get from it. After all, except for Brazil, in the American continent, we can Apart from competing with the United States, there is no ability to compete with the United States except for the British and French colonies in Greater Guiana. The arrival of Spain this time may become our Austrian aid to march into South America."

Asquith greatly agreed with Prince Arthur's words, and Edward VII nodded in agreement.

At the same time, on the other side of the French rest area, French President Armand Fallier was also discussing this matter.

"Your Excellency, I think we should applaud to express welcome," Pica glanced at Lisson, and then said to Armand Falier.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Think about it, we now have so many islands in the Caribbean, and French Guiana on the South American continent, which has given us a foothold in the Americas. And the development of the United States in recent years has touched the empire there. Especially now, many capitalists in our empire have revealed that the United States is currently conducting monopoly business in South America. Foreign countries, especially European powers, are often jointly suppressed by their domestic capitalists in the United States when doing business there. In this way, we Domestic people are treated unfairly when doing business there.…

So now that Spain can break the strong monopoly of the United States, why not send Spain in to maintain a balance with the United States and Europe like Spain advocates. In this way, if other countries of ours are the last, we may still be able to reap the benefits of being a fisherman. After all, to maintain a balance, whichever country our empire falls to will be able to give us corresponding benefits. I think our empire will not give up making good use of this kind of business without capital? I"

"What about you?" asked Armand Farier.

"I agree with this statement, and I even guess that the UK has this intention."

"In this case, we will follow this policy in the future."
