Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Tirpitz said in amazement. Many of the actions Alfonso XIII is doing now are becoming more and more unconstrained. Sometimes even he can't figure out its meaning for a while. I have to admire the other party's broad thinking.

He is like this, and William II still has the same idea in his heart.

"Tell me, how should we respond?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is best for us to remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

"oh?"

"Think about it, the United States will suffer the most damage from this incident. I think the United States will never give up, and our interests in Latin America seem to be almost non-existent. If this water can make Spain more muddy, you can Could it be that we also have a part in participating? Could it be an opportunity for our empire?"

"But do you think Britain and France will allow it?"

"I think it's feasible," Tirpitz said confidently: "Don't forget, King Edward VII and President Armand Farier both dreamed of us being at odds with the United States! When such an opportunity comes, they will naturally They won’t come to stop us.”

"But you also said that there is a possibility of turning against the United States. Wouldn't that just make us bump into each other?" William II asked again, somewhat uncertain.

"This is a comprehensive idea, but what if we go through the back door? Or what if we go sideways?" Seeing William II who still didn't understand what he meant, he sighed in his heart that the tacit understanding between the two was still not enough. He was even thinking, If Alfonso XIII was by his side now, he didn't know if he would be able to understand his own thoughts.

"What if we directly compete with the independent countries of South America through business instead of competing with other colonies? Your Majesty, you should be familiar with the process of Panama's independence."

When William II heard this, he suddenly understood. yes! Nowadays, most American countries are independent. Except for the great powers Britain and France, which occupied the Great Quiana, the others are independent countries. Brazil is run by the descendants of Pedro I, who broke away from the Portuguese royal family. It is now economically and politically dependent on the United Kingdom, so Brazil is considered British territory. Now it seems that Spain's sphere of influence is Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. These two forces. The United States has been operating in Mexico over the years and was behind Panama's independence from Colombia.

Therefore, the relationship between Colombia and the United States has not been very good, so. . . Therefore, the United States must not have many interests in Colombia. However, due to the United Kingdom and France's belief that European powers should not get involved in South American sovereignty and other related matters in recent years, Colombia and Venezuela are still pure blanks. And if Colombia sees the development of its neighboring countries but does not participate because of its antagonism with the United States, Britain and France, then will the sudden appearance of Germany be equivalent to the existence of Santa Claus?

"Bastard, what a bastard." Elihurut has never felt as angry as he is now. Yesterday, he was still thinking about what kind of moves Alfonso XIII would use to catch his move, but before he started, he Now I find that some of my tricks are too childish and are just tickling others. Since President Monroe implemented the Monroe Policy in the 1920s, the United States has gradually followed suit due to its growing influence. And the policy he initially advocated that the United States was hostile to any non-American country that came to the Americas to involve sovereignty issues was recognized and implemented by all American politicians, including him. As the United States became more powerful, European countries began to become more and more scrupulous. Therefore, this policy of the United States received a helpless and silent response from other countries. Originally, everything was following the American script.

It can be said that the emergence of Spain has always derailed the United States' strategies time and time again, and its plans have failed time and time again, especially during the more than ten years of Alfonso XIII's rule. First, former President William McKinley's plan to occupy the Spanish colonies was blocked by Alfonso XIII's sudden exchange of colonies with the British before it was implemented. Immediately after Western Australia, the United States wanted to cause chaos, and because of the arrival of Alfonso, his prestige even gained the hearts of Spain. And now it seems that Spain is ready to fight back? ….

Elihu Root looked worriedly at the direction where Alfonso currently lived. Was President Theodore Roosevelt aware of his forward expansion strategy? This is too terrible. But then he denied it, thinking that President Roosevelt's strategy had not really been formed until now, so how could he be known about it? It was probably just a coincidence. . . But is it really a coincidence?

"Your Majesty, what attitude and actions do you think the United States will take towards us?" Trini now looked at Alfonso with admiration, because he found that his previous diplomatic concepts were simply too backward compared to His Majesty. In the past, the diplomacy in his imagination was nothing more than big countries giving face to small countries, giving some benefits when they were happy, and serving with troops when they were unhappy. This was the hegemonic mentality of the European powers. Over the years, he has changed many views, that is, diplomacy is also about people and people. Therefore, he now conducts diplomacy in a low-key manner, and the results are good. Even in his view, the strength of an empire determines the strength or weakness of a country's diplomatic energy. But now after this incident, his view has changed. Because he saw a living example.

Since he was not the Minister of Foreign Affairs 10 years ago, his job has been to manage cultural exchanges in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is a group department composed of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture. Originally, this was a department that did not exist. But this was established under His Majesty's personal instructions at the beginning of the establishment of the previous government, and Trini was the top official of this department. At that time, he didn't quite understand the role of this department and the experience of so many departments was invested in it. However, with the changes little by little, especially in the first year of establishment, it followed the original plan. The empire allocates 10 million pesetas (1 game is equal to 1 US dollar) every year as funds to help the educational undertakings in other countries around the world, such as helping to build schools, allowing outstanding students from all over the world to study in Spain for free, etc. Several years passed in this way, with special emphasis on South America as requested by His Majesty.

What Trini finally discovered was that when South Americans mentioned Spain in the past, they would talk about a lot of Spanish cruel rule. Now they have become the Spanish team. What contributions have been made to the education of South American countries, and what other paths are there? It was donated by Spain. In short, the South Americans who are resentful of Spain have become a minority, and those who have a good impression of Spain account for the vast majority, especially the elite, because many of them are in Spain. Either he goes to university in Western Australia or New Zealand, or he goes to do business in these two places, because he does not have preferential policies in these two places, and the rich and powerful local people because Spain provides more The opportunity to make money and the secret political capital made him more dependent on Spain. In this way, Trini discovered the fact that Spain had become a friendly country in South America and a country liked by South Americans.

"We don't need to care too much about their attitude towards us, because I have already prepared multi-faceted measures for them to deal with us continuously. Now we are active and they are passive. From this moment on, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be prepared In a public opinion war, I want to teach those idiots in the United States a lesson this time and let them know that we are no longer the Spanish we were before. We are also a powerful country that can peek into their American interests, so that they will remember it and don't do it again in the future. Mess with us again.”

"Your Majesty, do you mean to prepare for a showdown with them?"

"Why not? Don't we in Spain have the courage?"

Upon hearing this, Trini immediately denied it with a wry smile. Just kidding, if this sentence spreads out, I will be drowned in Spanish saliva.

Second update, continue to ask for votes. It should be recommended next week, please support me.
