Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 68: An international student

"Are you nakedly criticizing the whole of Europe and the world? Do you really think that South America is your American territory? Don't forget, although Spain has invaded the American continent, including North America, but now Spain Great reforms have been thoroughly carried out, and the people have entered a higher civilized social life. What does this mean? This shows that Spain's reforms are based on success, and look at South America now, it is because of you, the United States Although there are many obstacles, the South American people who are already living in poverty continue to live like that.

Are you still prepared to let them continue to live like this? Could it be that the development of the United States in recent years is based on taking away all the resources of South Americans and thus prosperity? If you calculate the time, it seems that this statement is not too outrageous. After all, the United States has announced to the outside world that it does not allow After the activities of European countries in the Americas, you began to develop more and more rapidly. This connection has made people more suspicious. How can you tolerate it! And now that Spain has come to South America, I believe that under such healthy competition, Americans will have more choices to bargain with, and they will definitely be more aware of their own rights, and even gain support from major countries as a result. There may be heavy investment. "

This was the rebuttal of Spanish Foreign Minister Trini to the American "New York Times" on "International Wire", but even he did not know that it was his words that made a war quietly coming.

"Okay, that's well said. Americans really bully others too much." At the Elysée Palace in France, Armand Farier clapped the newspaper in his hand vigorously and praised. Few countries are as resentful of Americans as France. In fact, seriously speaking, there are still several places in the United States that were formerly French possessions. It was because of the Americans' step-by-step expansion and threatening purchase requests that France was forced to proceed. trade, and South America only has the small French Guiana and a few small islands in the Caribbean. This can be described as heavy losses for a colony that previously had a huge share second only to Britain in North America. Pass. In fact, France has long been dissatisfied with the United States' approach of opening its mouth because of its weak strength. However, due to the rapid rise of the German Empire and the increasing threat, it did not want to suddenly make enemies and ignored it. Even if the German Empire attacked Britain, it would be They have the same thoughts, but just because they can't be provoked doesn't mean they don't have the freedom to speak. Hence his subsequent actions.

Before that, the United States also fought back.

On June 23, 1908, the front page of the New York Times in the United States was titled "Secretary of State Asks Is Spain an Invader?"

"As we all know, the rise and fall of a country mainly depends on whether the country's territory is complete and autonomous. As a former colonial power, Spain brutally ruled South America, leaving countless South American people in dire straits and suffering all the hardships in the world. Now, after decades, they are seeking to return to the place where they have made serious mistakes. Don't they feel guilty? If a country has foreign troops stationed, it means that the country is no longer a country. , what kind of sovereignty does such a country have? Here I call on all independent countries in South America to stand up and resist invasions under various names, and we should tenaciously continue this unfinished independence movement."

In this way, such remarks continued, and the two governments began to officially publish some hostile remarks in the media. This further shows that the two countries are in a state of low-profile attacks on each other. ….

In the Spanish Royal Palace, Alfonso XIII was taking a short walk in the sunshine with his wife.

Patricia is now very satisfied with her life. She has a husband who loves her dearly, an unborn baby, and her status as a queen. This can be said to be the life that every woman in the world longs for most. And now I have obtained them one by one, and I have obtained them in excess.

"Right now, there are discussions outside about the dispute between Spain and the United States. It would be better for you to hide here by yourself and enjoy life alone. You are not afraid of misfire. Be careful that the people will be timid or fearful of you or just care about your private life." Impression, then your previous hard work to build the impression of Mingjun will be in vain." She is not ignorant of politics, on the contrary, he understands politics very well. She has grown up in the royal family since she was a child. The British clock has changed. As the former Victoria One of the Queen's favorite granddaughters, she was exposed to too many things related to politics. Her father's high position and the various identities of her brothers and sisters forced her to grow up on the periphery of politics. Therefore, she also developed her political vision which is not comparable to that of ordinary people. At least she knew the inside story and the results of her analysis were praised by Alfonso.

"You, I really don't know if it's because Britain feels sad that it let go of a politically sensitive expert like you." He scratched her nose. He tidied a few messy hairs around her ears fondly.

Patricia's action is seen by many people as a way to kill time, even by many media and high-level officials in various countries. But this is not the case with Alfonso, because he knows that the public's sense of identity with the country is actually based on public opinion. A queen who loves the people and communicates very well with the people is like the moon at night after the day. , although the sun is extremely bright during the day, it is also a side that is ignored or unscrupulous at night, and Patricia is now Alfonso's moon. He can make up for Alfonso's shortcomings in some aspects, such as in Women's support, for example, makes it easier to gain people's acceptance in terms of affinity. This is the dual cultivation of harmony and harmony in Yin and Yang theory. Alfonso couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Patricia grabbed his ear and twisted it dissatisfied. This was still her patent. Every time when no one was bothering her, she would enjoy things that seemed so far away to others.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay?" Alfonso was truly gifted in begging for mercy, and he was forgiven by Patricia in no time.

"Actually, your value has yet to be discovered." Alfonso rubbed his slightly red ears, and then said it as if he didn't care.

These words attracted Patricia's attention, and she couldn't help but ask: "What other aspects are there?"

Alfonso secretly smiled, but his face remained serious. He hesitated for a while, and then said helplessly: "We will continue to create humans in the future. Isn't this a great cause that needs to be continued to be explored? This is important to Spain." It’s a very important thing to say.”

When he finally came back, he found that his family had bought a large piece of land and had a manor. His younger brothers and sisters were also attending school carefree, and his parents looked much younger. At this moment, he discovered how exciting his money was.

He was only 22 years old at the time, which can be called a political miracle in South America. Then he became a member of the Senate in the fourth year. In 1906, he became the mayor of Guayaquil for nearly three years. He should have been in a state of triumph, but now he was distressed and could even be described as frightened.

"What should I do?" Just now, he received news that the U.S. plenipotentiary in Ecuador attended an ordinary banquet tonight and was shot dead with a gun on his way back, along with his of a bodyguard. In the end, the news he found was that the thug turned out to be an ordinary poor man, and the reason was that the plenipotentiary raped his sister during the banquet, so this scene happened...
