Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 8 Accidental Assassination

"Uncle, come and catch me, come on." On a snowy field, a blond girl jumped up and down excitedly, and not far behind her, a tall and noble young man with handsome features and more than 1.8 meters walked. come over. He looked very strong and majestic, especially the magnificent clothes, which immediately made people think of nobility, or even the royal family. He has an innate sense of being calm and intimidating, but now his smiling face is full of sunshine, making people feel as cool and comfortable in this snowy weather as if they are bathed in June rain. Cool.

"Lucia, if you run again, be careful of the potholes ahead."

"It's weird to believe you. You said the same thing last year, and you still say it now. My uncle likes to lie to Lucia. Lucia won't believe you, ah..."

The young man who was dozens of steps behind didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that his niece was playing hide-and-seek with him, so he smiled nonchalantly and walked away without hearing a sound. The stone in front of him had already Getting closer and closer, this girl must be trying to scare me from behind, hey! Being able to stay calm this time seems to have made great progress. The young man smiled even more. When he came to the tall stone that was wide enough for one person to bathe on both sides, he quietly walked over from the other side of the road he came from, looking very much like Big Big Wolf trying to sneak into Yangcun. If people familiar with him discovered these actions, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

"I got you!" The young man jumped up suddenly. Just when he thought he could scare him, he was shocked to find that his niece, who was still alive and kicking just now, had her hands, feet and mouth gagged. He grabbed a piece of cloth, his eyes popped out, he rolled back, and at the same time a gunshot rang out. He stood up quickly when he was a full ten meters away from where he was. What appeared in front of him was a strange man with a beard on his face. His crazy look made him feel a throbbing feeling. This man was very Danger. This was the first feeling that person gave him.

"Who are you? Do you know what you are doing? You are committing a crime, and you are committing a very serious crime." After the moment of panic, the young man's face became very calm. If it weren't for the traces left by the snowman rolling on the ground, I would have thought that he hadn't done anything just now but just stood there without moving.

"Who am I? Haha, you actually asked me who I am, Alfonso Thirteen, you actually asked me who I am, okay, I will tell you, you should know whose throne your grandmother took away, I It’s the great-grandson of Don Carlos, Yama Carlos.” ​​The Mauser in his hand pointed at the young man, and then continued with a crazy smile on his face: “How have we, the descendants of Don Carlos, been doing in these years? It should be very clear, so I don’t want to say anything more. As long as you give me a reason not to kill you, I will let you go today, the ridiculous King of Spain in my eyes. Alfonso Thirteen, don’t worry, no one Will come to disturb us, our King, the answer to my question is also the answer that determines your life or death."

"Okay, you are crazy, you make me feel a little scared." Seeing the other person's proud expression, Alfonso instantly touched the other person's psychology, and continued calmly: "But, are you really a scary person?" Are you scared? I'm afraid of your guns, not your people. Yama, you know, we should be considered cousins. Your great-grandfather is my great-grandfather. We should fight for Spain. It is only right to contribute to the prosperity of the empire, but now our entire Bourbon dynasty has begun to sink, and we are no longer equally qualified to face today's powerful countries such as Britain, the United States, France, and Germany. Imagine the era before our ancestors, that era of Spain How powerful it is, even our grandfather was the overlord of the Mediterranean, but now look at what kind of country we have become..."

"That's enough." Yama Carlos shouted and cut off Alfonso's words, and said disdainfully: "It's not because of the poor governance of the three generations of your ancestors. If it were my great-grandfather who took over the throne instead of your grandmother Yi, As for Sabella II, where would this situation be? Today's Spanish Empire can't even compare to that group of Germans, and it has almost become a second-rate country. Our Bourbon dynasty was just like this You guys have been ruined, so what qualifications do you have to say these things here?"

"I know it is of no use to shirk my responsibilities, but it is precisely because of this that I have been immersed in the rapid development of our Spanish Empire these years. Think about how many lives we have lost and families broken up by the two Carlos civil wars. How much strength have we lost? My father, Alfonso XII, has always been pursuing the restoration of Spain for the rest of his life. Seeing the hope of restoration, he died young at the age of only 28, and in the end he lost one child. Blank area. Fortunately, God blessed the Spanish Empire. Under the circumstances of internal and external calm, our big ship continued to move forward in an orderly manner. After I came to power, I have been cautious and cautious in these years and have not forgotten the revival for a minute."

"What about changing colonies? Don't tell me that the land is huge. Just a silver cane sugar cigarette from Cuba can be worth the income of the other two places, not to mention the Philippines." said Yama · Carlos's eyes were even more burning. If he hadn't still had reason, Alfonso even doubted whether he would shoot directly.

"I shouldn't talk to anyone about this question originally. Since you asked, and I know that you have resentment towards us but are very affectionate towards Spain, so I'm not afraid that you will publicize it everywhere. The reason why I did that is because , I received intelligence information that the United States has begun to prepare to invade our Cuba, and even the Philippines is in their sights."

"Nonsense, what are you doing in the United States? Do you think I am easy to fool? Aren't they afraid of arousing the public outrage of all empires?"

"But what if they have a reason? For example, one of their large ships is suddenly sunk and they say it was sunk by the Spanish Empire. Then they try their best to publicize it in the country to arouse public outrage, and finally say that the people in the country are dissatisfied. Send troops under the circumstances, and then directly sink the Spanish ships that have been damaged due to years of repairs in retaliation. By then, what else will the Spanish Empire have to patrol its colonies?" Whenever Alfonso said a "what if" The expression on Yama Carlos' face will change accordingly.

Seeing that his expression was changing again and again, Alfonso had no intention of getting closer. He knew that some things would reverse themselves at the extreme. People also have limits of endurance. If they reach the limit, they will be easily broken. He said slowly, "At this time, I could only avoid the incident in this way without really damaging my vitality. Facts have proved that this move was right. We in Spain have experienced quiet development in these years. In 1897, we had an economic It is lower than the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, France, Tsarist Russia, Austria-Hungary, and the Kingdom of Italy. But now, although there is still a gap between the United States, Britain, Germany, and France, under my operation, we have surpassed Italy and the Austro-Hungary Empire, and are now at least on par with the United States, Britain, Germany, and France. Tsarist Russia is on par, and I believe that in just a few years our national strength will take a big step forward."

Seeing him showing doubts, he had known this would happen for a long time. Alfonso said with an inscrutable expression on his face: "The development of industry in recent years is our biggest rapid development, and the Australian wool has made us even more excited." The garment industry is booming. After the great discoveries of minerals in Western Australia over the years, our heavy industry has been rapidly established. In addition to the mainland, Western Australia and New Zealand have produced a considerable amount of products. city, under such circumstances, it is strange that our national power does not rise quickly, and this is still the early stage. When we enter the mid-term, I believe we will gain even more. We..."...

"you go"

"What?" Alfonso wanted to continue talking and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Although his beard was not trimmed or combed, he could still see that the person in front of him looked extraordinary. But the most important thing was that he could see that The credibility of what I said before is very high. But even so, such words are still somewhat unexpected.

"I said you can leave. If you want to arrest me, I have nothing to say." Looking up, Alfonso saw a calm expression. It seemed that he had given up on life and death.

"Okay, I'll help you," Alfonso said directly. After saying that, regardless of whether he would point the Mauser at him again, he came to Lucia's side and untied the rope that tied Lucia and the cloth gagging her mouth in an orderly manner.

From the beginning to the end, Yama Carlos did not make any move, but stood there quietly watching Alfonso's every move.

He picked up the frightened Lucia. Although she was only five years old, this girl was already as big as an Oriental six or seven years old. Alfonso felt a little heavy holding her.

After taking a few steps, he saw that the other party was still standing there without any reaction, as if he was waiting for him to call someone over to arrest him. After a pause, Alfonso turned around.

"If you still have the blood of the Bourbon royal family, Carlos, then remember to report to me tomorrow morning, and I can give you an honorable job that is responsible for the blood in your body." Throw down a token, and then hug Lu Sia walked towards the road ahead, but at this time Alfonso no longer turned his energy to the people behind him, but looked ahead with murderous intent. There, it seemed as if someone had offended him.

A friend said that you can't always sit in the office and control the situation. Hehe, then, I can only let the protagonist enjoy the assassination. There are two updates a day and one at 8pm. Please collect, recommend and support me. .
