Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 85 The King's Speech

"We have also sent our ambassador to Spain to participate. In my opinion, this is a good exchange event. As a member of the world, the United States certainly wants to participate."

"I heard that you care very much about your nephew Franklin. I wonder what your evaluation of him is?"

"Haha, thank you for your concern for him. In my opinion, he is a very unique child, the kind of person who is very independent."

"Can you give me an example?"

"Of course, he has always had a dream to become a member of the U.S. Navy, but due to his father's disapproval, this dream has never been successful. Even because of this, after his father passed away, he and I had a falling out despite my objections. The conflict, after years of indifference, only got better some time ago when I had to compromise.”

"Haha, that's really a stubborn and lovable child. May I ask..."

Time jumps forward to July 1, 1908. Just today, in addition to the Olympic Games that continue to be held in the UK, Europe and the world will be paying attention to one thing, and that is the Peace 1908 joint military exercise hosted by Spain today.

"We must ensure that all residents of Madrid are not affected in any way during the exercise. We will also inform you that during this period, the security of each state and city must be maintained well, and we will continue to monitor the presence of suspicious characters. I do not want to It was a great event that turned into chaos.”

"Also, notify all naval bases, army bases, etc., to take care of their posts and avoid any accidents, and..."

It was under such circumstances that Alfonso spent time minute by minute until the time when the exercise was approaching.

"Next, let's invite our king to speak." As soon as Eugene finished speaking, everyone in the Puerta del Sol square applauded.

Alfonso was very excited. Yes, although as a king, he had already met many famous figures in history, but now he just saw the citizens and soldiers under his rule. Zhang had a longing and proud face. Only at this moment did he truly realize how exciting it was to let his own people live a good life. This is not the excitement of leaving a good name in the history books, nor the relief of being able to consolidate his status, but the feeling after the responsibility has been recognized. He cannot measure it in words, he can only Step by step, he walked up with the firm belief that he had made up his mind to make their life better and safer. With every step he took, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier, but he still moved forward without hesitation. Finally he reached the top, a high platform less than 20 meters high. He looked down from it and saw a row of people sitting in front of him, including military attachés, ambassadors and other representatives from various countries, as well as government officials. There was a dense crowd of people standing in front of him across a 20-meter avenue. He was looking at them and not talking. The people in front of him were also looking at him, just like the waves. The leader in front was as quiet as the waves. Sweeping towards the back.

An atmosphere was brewing over the Sun Gate for a minute or ten thousand years. In short, no one felt the passage of time. They only had expectations for the outside world and admiration for the person on the stage, whether they were young or old, male or female.

"I'm very grateful to you all for being here" finally happened. This is what the representatives from other countries below are thinking in their hearts. The atmosphere just now made them feel unnatural. This has nothing to do with anything else, but what they feel. When Spain came to the cohesion, it was unimaginable that there were more than 400,000 people in the audience without making a loud noise just now. They compared the scene with the speech of their country's leader, and the final result was that Alfonso Thirteen Shi Tai knows how to grasp people's hearts. ….

Alfonso didn't know what everyone in the audience was thinking, and even if he knew it, he would only be proud of it. Now he was filled with feelings, and he wanted to vent his feelings loudly.

"Ever since I was sensible, I have been told how diligent my father, Alfonso XII, was, and how he pulled Spain back from the cliff when it was being divided. He was How to win the hearts of Spain back to the complete identity of Spain. I felt that I was defeated by my father, and I was conquered by his greatness. What I felt at the time was, can you do it, Alfonso XIII? ? I don’t know how to answer my own question. It’s hard for me to be sure that I can achieve the same success as my father, and gain the same trust and love from the people as my father did. I’m very irritable. I’m very distressed. I feel like I was born I have been given this great and important responsibility.”

"I don't know if I will be scorned for not doing well. Haha, to be rebellious, my grandmother is my living example, so every time I mention her, I feel very confused. But right? It was with her existence that she made me feel that I could not become the second Isabella II. I wanted to be the true successor of Alfonso XII. I wanted to be welcomed by the people instead of being compromised by them. The driven king, my father and my grandmother, were once a ridiculous combination, but they made me feel a bunch of living role models. One was to be the king who was driven away, the other was to be the beloved monarch. In the end, I still chose the latter, so that’s how I started, I started working hard, and everyone saw it next. Now, I don’t know how to evaluate myself. You said I can be a beloved monarch, can I do it?”

Looking towards the audience, Alfonso shouted loudly.

"Yes" The unanimous affirmative answer of hundreds of thousands of people, including government officials, shocked all foreign representatives. They were shocked. If they were soldiers, it would not be surprising to them. After all, being trained and not being trained were two different things. From this, they can see the status of Alfonso XIII among the Spaniards. Many of them, decades later, when they mentioned the most amazing scenes in their lives to their descendants, they unanimously chose the present moment. at this moment.

"Queen, you see, now he is becoming more and more majestic as a king, and more and more like his father." Maria Christina looked at her son on the stage, and the sound hit her heart. Faced with the heartstring language, scenes from her childhood reappeared in her mind. She may have remembered how she held him and talked about her husband's great achievements over and over again. The little man back then was now standing there in front of hundreds of thousands of people, unbreakable by the wind. At this moment, she truly discovered that her son had really grown up. Perhaps it could be said that her husband had asked for her before he passed away. She must complete the task of raising her son into a good king. She succeeded in the king training plan.

Maria Cristina was like this, and so was Patricia, the Queen of Spain. She didn't shed tears like her, but she was gently stroking her belly, which was already several months old. Telling the child over and over again how great his father is on stage now, how...

There are many Spaniards who have the same mentality as the two of them. They were all proud of Alfonso. They are all praying to God and the many Catholic gods to bless this king and bless him to continue to create a prosperous age in Spain.

"Unknowingly, 20 minutes have passed. I'm a little embarrassed that I made everyone wait for so long. Well, today's theme is the military exercise, so we will return to the theme. Today's military exercise, I solemnly It is clear that it is not targeting any country. It is just a means of mutual defense between Spain and its allies. I hope the media and all walks of life will not over-interpret it. Well, just now Prime Minister Eugene has announced the data and format of the exercise. Well, then, I will now officially announce that the exercise has begun."

"Okay, thank you for the King's Speech. I really hope that in a few years someone will make this into a movie called "The King's Speech." Haha, hello everyone, I am Laura, the current Spanish Navy Rear Admiral, and I will be hosting the exercise today. Live commentator. Coming towards us now is Spain..."
