Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 81 The relationship between competition and cooperation

"Now that we have talked about the source of the deterioration of relations between the two countries, let us analyze why our relations have been maintained for such a long time." Franklin paused, and then continued confidently:

"Spain is a European country, and it is also a superpower that has developed rapidly in recent years, and this extends to the situation in Europe. I think that as president, my uncle should be able to see the current situation in the world more clearly than any American. "

Theodore was noncommittal.

Franklin was not angry when he saw this. Instead, he continued to get more energetic. It really makes people wonder if he is the type who gets braver as he goes uphill.

"The current dispute between the British and German sides has reached a bottleneck. This bottleneck is because Spain is there. Originally, the reason why France put in so much effort and then lowered its head to ask Britain for a large amount of money to build the Siberian railway connecting Tsarist Russia to Mozambique Scotia and the Far East region saw that the three countries could completely suppress Germany as long as they formed an alliance, but they never expected that at this time, under the leadership of Alfonso XIII, Spain would rise again. And The momentum was so strong that before their strategies were adjusted, they found that Spain had grown into an equally powerful country that could influence the situation in Europe.

Fortunately, Spain did not fall to Germany, and this bad news did not happen, but Spain did not say that it would join their side. Because of this, France is now completely confused. They found that among their neighbors, there are four They have been completely surrounded by the big powers, so they can only find a breakthrough. Now that the alliance has been formed, they can simply continue to encircle and suppress Germany. So their proactive attacks began again, and their policy towards Spain was mainly to win over and be on guard. "

"Having said that, but"

"But what does our relationship have to do now, right?"

"Not bad." Theodore wasn't angry at being interrupted.

"Of course there is a relationship, and it is a huge relationship." Franklin's eyes flashed, and he also showed a little admiration.

He said: "Since Spain is showing up there, and at the same time acting like it is not helping the two sides, His Majesty Alfonso is not an ordinary person. I have to say that this king who is a few years younger than me is planning strategies. He knows that if Spain continues like this, sooner or later it will face pressure from both parties, and may even be forced to publicly express its position in the end. This should be unacceptable to Spain. In this case, they should have thought of the last It may turn out to be displeasing to both parties or even worsen the relationship between the two parties. This is what Spain does not want to see in the end. So, they are looking for excuses, an excuse not to participate in the European battle."

"So they came to South America." Theodore, who was a little relaxed at first, became nervous again. He seemed to have noticed something.

"Not bad." Franklin knew that now was his biggest opportunity, and if he had no reservations, he would no longer have any reservations. "They need to find an excuse, that is, to open a gap in South America to enter South America. They know that other powers have long coveted South America for a long time. He took a fancy to this, so he made a show that he wanted to Returning to South America, of course, does not rule out that they do have such an idea, but his real purpose should be to have other powers want him to take the lead and support them in entering South America. Therefore, the results of uncle's diplomacy this time needless to say It will definitely be very difficult. Especially in a big country."

Theodore no longer knew how to describe his excitement. As long as his middle finger slapped the corners of the chair messily, Franklin knew that he had succeeded, and that he was an overachiever. really,….

This time Theodore did not end the matter with a few hasty words, but said: "Okay, your analysis is good, but since your analysis is that Spain is diverting the attention of the great powers, then it is so easy to fool countries such as Britain, Germany, and France. ?"

"No, although few people can see this idea, there should be some people who can see it very roughly. Even if they can see it, it doesn't matter, because this step of King Alfonso actually kills two birds with one stone from the perspective of the great powers. The harvest of three eagles.”

"Looking at it from the perspective of the great powers?" Theodore suddenly became interested.

"That's it. One is what I just said. Spain can open the entry gap for the great powers in South America, allowing them to plunder the wealth of South America. The second is that they even directly followed the idea of ​​King Alfonso of Spain and let Spain’s power has moved outward to South America, and the third one involves us.”

Seeing Theodore listening seriously, Franklin felt satisfied and said: "The European powers have always been wary of us, but they have no time to take care of us because of their internal strife. If we now Spain, a powerful country that cannot be pulled but cannot be pushed to the other side, lets Europe go against us or monitor us and balance us. This is the third benefit. "

"Wait a minute," Theodore understood, and connected all the information just now, "Are you saying that Spain is implementing its own strategy from the perspective of maximizing the interests of the great powers?"

"Yes, that's the summary," Franklin affirmed.

"So, what about Pearl Harbor?"

"Of course I am putting on a show for my allies. I should also be putting on a show for my own people and the world."

"So now that we know about their actions, should we put more pressure on Ecuador?"

"No, in that case, Spain might take action."

"Didn't you say they were just acting?"

"But their alliance with the four South American countries is not an act. Don't forget what I just said. They are also doing it half-truth, so they are not afraid of others noticing their ideas and strategies."

"Does that mean we should?"

"All we need now is to cooperate with them."

"?"

Seeing Theodore with a black line on his forehead, Franklin felt a little disappointed but also relieved. His uncle was a generalist in other aspects, especially economics, but it was still salty to die in national political strategy compared to now. Some of the great powers are slightly lacking. Fortunately, the United States is powerful, and no other major powers have come to trouble the United States in recent years, except of course, Spain.

"Since Spain's possible strategy is to stay away from Europe and come here as we just said, then why don't we cooperate with them? I know some people will ask why we cooperate with them and let them fight in Europe. Okay, this idea is very funny in my opinion, because Spain will never allow itself to fall into it. Even if it does, since they have set their sights on us and the relationship is already in such a bad state, we will not be able to avoid it when our national power weakens in the future. If we cause trouble for them, they will definitely drag us into it, and this will conflict with our isolation policy of domestic development and our strategy of development away from struggle. Therefore, since Spain is coming and we have the same strategic development, so between the choices of backing up and developing together, I think our best choice is the latter.”
