Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"I mean Jack. You're not still thinking about those hot chicks in Paz."

"Fuck you, that's what you think. Although I am sometimes romantic, I am not sentimental. For me, it is just a way to vent. In my heart, the only love is Barbara Miss, she is my favorite."

"Can you stay alive until death?"

"certainly"

"Very good, then let me tell you clearly, you can give up. I heard that the end of this year will be the day she gets married. The premise is that if he hasn't found someone who likes her and is worthy of her. Well, take a look Look, looking at it horizontally and vertically, he is just an ordinary soldier in the navy. If you see these waves, they will return to the calm sea and no longer attract attention. We are also in this fate, those rich and noble daughters, us, It’s better not to think about it.”

"Jack, don't believe what that guy Leon said. In life, only when you have hope can you have a goal to strive for. As long as you have struggled, you will have no regrets even if you don't get it."

"Old Saha, why do your words sound so profound like those spoken by great people? It feels like inspiration is flying straight into my head after listening to it."

"Old Saha, you just use these classic sentences from the newspaper to pretend to be a poet. I don't care about others. Don't make Jack stupid, otherwise I will never finish with you."

"Cousin, how did old Saha mislead me?" Jack said with some dissatisfaction.

"Where else? I haven't seen that old Saha is nearly forty years old and still single. He recites poems and lines all day long. I think this guy is hopeless. I don't want my only cousin to change. Be like him. Don't forget, when my aunt entrusted you to me, she said that I was obligated to take care of you. Now I think he is a dangerous person who threatens your future, so I don't want you to get too close. understand?"

"this"

"Okay, I know I'm not interested in you. Leon, let's not talk about this for now. Let's continue to talk about our mission this time. You said, this time we suddenly received a mission and said we were going to Driving to Hawaii, I wonder if we will have a direct fight with the United States?"

"What are you afraid of? Jack didn't just say that he wanted to marry Barbara. You know, Barbara is the niece of Navy Marshal Cervera. If, I mean, if we can win the war against the United States this time, Maybe we will get glory because of this, and maybe Jack will get the admiration of the navy marshal." Leon looked at his cousin with nothing but love on his face.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say it. I'm dizzy and defeated by your two cousins. Go to sleep and when you're fully prepared, kill him without leaving a trace."

There are different disputes happening in the world every day, whether they are big wars, small wars, or political struggles, etc. Every time, it is a cruel show of wits and courage that makes people dizzy. It makes people marvel at the wisdom of human beings and at the same time. Human cruelty.

Among them, what is attracting the most attention now is the battle between the United States and Spain. As we all know, South America has always been regarded as its own backyard by the United States. In addition to the United Kingdom, as the world's largest power, it also uses virtual funding to remotely control Brazil. Outside of existence, which is where France controls Greater Guiana, other powers have already completely withdrawn from South America at the request of the United States, from being ignored in the early 19th century to now. It can be seen that the strength of the United States has grown to a point where it can threaten the world's major powers.

Needless to say, Spain is now one of the major powers in the world. The existence of a series of colonial possessions can explain everything well. However, it is still resting on its laurels. To know this, the United States announced that it requires world powers not to colonize South America. Before the invasion, all of Latin America, including all countries in South America except Brazil, was a Spanish colony. Officially, this announcement by the United States is a naked announcement that it will seize control of Latin America from Spain. This is what most Spaniards believe, and it is also a view shared by the elites of many powerful countries. And it seems that the United States has implemented it well in recent years. ….

Therefore, Spain's behavior in the Americas this time is actually not unacceptable in the eyes of many countries, because it is a bit like a revenge journey. Spain is just fighting the United States on its original territory. , and more importantly, their stance in the struggle in America was absolutely different from that of Tsarist Russia and Japan in 1904 and 1905.

The war between Japan and Tsarist Russia in the North Pacific attracted the attention of people from all over the world from the beginning. The two sides dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to strangle each other, while the Qing Dynasty, the spoils of war between the two sides, watched from the sidelines with amazement. The battlefields at that time were the Northeastern region and North Korea of ​​the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, there were signs that this war was going to start long before the original position started.

Although Japan and Tsarist Russia had long had great conflicts due to the Qing Dynasty's competition for interests in the Northeast, the origin of the war had a lot to do with the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1895.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895-1895, Japan forced China to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki. In addition to recognizing Japan's control of Korea, the treaty also required China to cede territory to Japan and pay compensation and allow Japan to enjoy other privileges. However, the provisions regarding the cession of the Liaodong Peninsula angered Russia, which had vested interests or had a voyeuristic attitude towards the place, so it staged the incident of "Three Powers interfering in returning the Liaodong Peninsula and forcing Japan to revise the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Tsarist Russia was the most intense. As a result, the struggle between the two countries over Northeast China has obviously become worse.

Japan is a bold country that fears neither heaven nor earth, otherwise it would not have dared to attack the United States' Pearl Harbor during World War II. At this time, Japan was even bolder than Japan was a few decades later. Otherwise, it would not have dared to sneak attack and win in the face of the Qing Dynasty's navy, which was much more powerful than itself. Therefore, Japan immediately stepped up preparations for war against Tsarist Russia, which was more powerful than itself. In recent years, most of the reparation silver it plundered from China was used for war preparations.

As for the Japan-Russia conflict. International divisions have also formed. Britain has always regarded Russia as a rival for China. It attempted to use Japan's hand to prevent Russia from going south to compete with it for the Yangtze River Basin. Therefore, Britain and Japan colluded with each other, so in 1902 they agreed to the alliance proposed by Japan and hastily signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance Covenant in London on January 30 of the same year, targeting Russia.

Since the United States proposed the "open door" policy in 1899, it has tried to intervene in the Northeast several times, but has been turned away by Russia. In order to break Russia's monopoly on the Northeast, the U.S. government also sided with Japan and the United Kingdom, so as to break away from Tsarist Russia's monopoly.

Britain and the United States provided Japan with a large amount of economic assistance to encourage Japan's military expansion and war preparations. Although the United States has been unable to provide more assistance to Japan because of the wars in Alaska and the Caribbean, the conditions for war have been formed. It is impossible for the Anglo-Japanese alliance to give up this war.

Although France is loyal to the Russo-French Alliance. However, France does not want Russia to invest its main military power in the Far East to avoid weakening the Russian-French alliance's strength against Germany in Europe, so it has a certain degree of reservation in its support for Russia's Far East policy.

Germany continued to implement its policy of pushing Russia eastward. It hopes that the intensification of conflicts with Japan and even the United Kingdom due to Russia's occupation of Northeast China will force Russia to mobilize Russian troops on the western border and indirectly weaken the pressure of the Russian-French alliance on Germany in Europe. Therefore, Germany basically expresses support for Russia's Far East policy. .

In this way, the above-mentioned countries formed two major groups on the Far East issue: one was the Anglo-Japanese alliance, backed by the United States; the other was the Franco-Russian alliance. Germany opposed France in Europe. In the Far East, Russia was supported. At this point, the international conditions for the Russo-Japanese War have been formed. And finally Japan broke off diplomatic relations first on February 6, 1904, officially detonating the war.

The Russo-Japanese War broke out in the Western Pacific, but it was actually very close to Alaska and Guam, where the United States is located, Spanish territories, and many British colonies. The entire North Pacific area became a mess, and the forces of various countries were intertwined. Fortunately, in the end, only those two countries actually broke out at war, and the others were all in peace.

However, after a few years, South America, which is about to erupt in a new round of war crisis, has once again attracted greater attention from various countries. If a war broke out between the United States and Spain, no one would doubt that the impact would be less than that between Tsarist Russia and Japan. Because their process will definitely affect all countries, big and small, in the world. Because these two countries are larger than the former in terms of economy, military or comprehensiveness. The potential is deeper.

However, what is very certain about the original positions of Japan and Tsarist Russia is that most countries this time are definitely on the side of Spain, because the United States’ Panama Canal was snatched from the United Kingdom and France, and South America was also stolen from It was stolen from the great powers, so Spain and the United States. . .
