Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Reporter: "What do you think of the construction of free trade zones in Spain, Italy and other countries? Mr. George"

Edward George: "I think this is feasible. According to academic theory, when a country trades with another country, it will involve the interests of vested interest groups in the respective countries. For example, the recent turmoil The raging issue of Spanish agricultural product imports has touched upon the interests of farmers. However, these countries have also made a good move, that is, they have set aside areas for trade experiments, which can reduce their domestic opposition. At the same time, it can increase economic development and connections, which can be said to be a good move."

Reporter: "Everyone knows that at the national level, any policy or agreement they introduce will have political implications. So what is the political implications this time? Please analyze it for us."

Edward George: "Let's first analyze the location of these places. Somalia and Eritrea are in the northwest Indian Ocean and the Red Sea respectively, while places such as Qatar are in the Persian Gulf, and Mozambique is in the middle of the western Indian Ocean. If these places are connected , look, they are able to effectively supervise the western Indian Ocean, especially the Persian Gulf, the Suez Canal, and various gateways from West Asia to southern Africa. They have formed a large network established by several countries. All the actions of other countries in this area have been supervised. I noticed a problem, that is, at this press conference, several countries did not mention intelligence issues. This is a very important existence. If they did not conduct any intelligence exchanges, In other words, the UK has the clearest observation of this area, but if several countries exchange intelligence, then all the UK's actions in this area may fall under the surveillance of these countries. , this is something that I think is important for the British government to pay attention to."

Reporter: "Since several countries have participated so enthusiastically, please give us an analysis of their respective benefits. Of course, this refers to political benefits including economics."

Edward George: "This question is a bit broad. From an economic perspective, I think the biggest beneficiary should be Spain. After all, among several countries, Spain has the strongest industrial strength, and industrial products are widely used in several countries. Zhongjuedu is a dominant entity, but in this case, why are other countries willing to participate when it is possible that Spanish industrial products will attack the domestic industrial industry? "

reporter:"?"

Edward George: "That's because they all realize that Spain's domestic market is developing rapidly. For example, Portugal is working hard to provide Spain with colonial minerals, Italian steel, wine, olive oil, etc., and the Ottoman Empire's They have gained a certain market for textiles, Persian carpets, etc., which account for the main foreign trade items of various countries, and Spain is infinitely expanding its absorption. More importantly, although Spanish industrial products will impact their domestic industrial system, they should. I also realized a problem

That is, the technologies of these industrial products in Spain are very advanced. If they are not introduced, the domestic industrial system may stagnate. In this case, the harm to the country will be very great. Of course, Germany is also an option, but don’t forget that the relationship between Germany and Britain is already like this. If these countries want to stay out of the matter, it is best to choose not to keep a certain distance from Germany, and Spain is the best choice. country. Of course, more importantly, the technical content of Spanish industrial products is no lower than that of Germany, which is why they chose to open up to Spain."

Reporter: "What impact will this incident have on the Middle East?"

Edward George: "Now Britain, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Greece, the Persian Empire, etc., all look at each other with or without hostility next to the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The reason why the Ottoman Empire did this at this time is very understandable. It is a way to relieve pressure. Other countries also know the Ottoman Empire's ideas. They know it, but they still can't stop Spain and other countries from doing this, because it has very important strategic significance in it. Yes, I I think Mohammed V Rashad should also know that this may be causing trouble, because he has obviously given Spain and Italy two tickets to enter the Persian Gulf game.

It turned out that Britain, Russia and the Persian Empire were confronting the Ottoman Empire there. They couldn't stand the three countries, because Britain and Russia themselves were stronger than them, and the Persian Empire was not much weaker than him. Now Britain and Russia are allied because of Germany. Now their positions are the same, and Persia is a mortal enemy, so the Ottoman Empire knows that it has to face the double pressure of the three countries. Under such circumstances, knowing that victory is impossible, roping in Spain and Italy to increase the game can distract the pressure from Britain, Russia, and Persia. This is not the best method. "

Reporter: "What about Italy? I think Italy also has its own strategic significance?"

Edward George: "Yes, Italy's idea is very simple, that is, I don't want to join your two camps, the British-led group and the German-led camp, so I am also acting to protect myself at this time. Don't mess with me. Me, otherwise I wouldn’t be someone to mess with. They also want to take advantage of Spain’s rapid development to speed up their economic development.”

Reporter: "Haha, that's true. What about Spain?"

Edward George: "As I said just now, Spain is actually the biggest strategic winner of this agreement. For Spain, Portugal's move this time has clearly marked an attitude, that is, we will follow you to death. Prime Minister Rozo's description of the relationship between husband and wife is the best explanation. Of course, this will benefit Portugal a lot in terms of economy and security. Just look at the lives of Portuguese citizens in the past two years. The quality of the project shows how high the benefits they get from the relationship with Spain are, which indirectly attracts Italy to join in and become closer to Spain."

"Another thing is that Spain can effectively better supervise the Mediterranean. After all, the other two countries are the top players in the Mediterranean. With them, the UK does not dare to go too far. Also, don't forget that in the Indian Ocean, in the East The Indian Ocean is the base camp of Spain. The existence of Western Australia has established Spain’s position in the Indian Ocean. Now connecting these places, you can clearly see that Spain’s footprints are except for the northeastern Indian Ocean. It’s already covering the Indian Ocean. This may be the situation Spain wants to see most.”

Reporter: "Will the actions of the four countries have an impact on the situation in Europe? You know, the situation in Europe is already very delicate. If these parties are involved, will it cause other chain reactions?" reaction?"

Edward George: "No, I just said Italy's strategic thinking, that is, this is just trying to keep each other warm. Imagine that Spain, Italy, and Portugal are the most solid blocks of Catholic faith, and the Ottomans Turkey is composed of Mu, Silinyi, and Silan. This combination is a bit weird no matter how you look at it. This is the result of the current situation. If the external pressure is gone, they may disband at any time. As for Europe, Influence,

I think the influence is definitely there. After all, Spain and Italy are powerful countries in Europe, and Ottoman Turkey is the only powerful country in the Middle East that can rival the Persian Empire. Their approach will certainly cause other parties to have more thoughts and become hesitant when facing them. But that’s just the way it is. Some things may not be true what you see on the surface. After all, the interests of each country are different.”

Reporter: "For example"

Edward George: "For example, in terms of living conditions, Spain's national life now definitely belongs to the ranks of the most developed countries. However, because of Portugal's previous accumulation and economic integration with Spain, their national life is now on par with Spain's. Life is generally the same, and even many of my colleagues will have a feeling after going to both places, that is, Portugal is more like a Spanish state with national sovereignty. Of course, this is a joke, but it also proves The living conditions of the two countries are very similar. Italy is slightly inferior to Spain, but it is also one of the most developed countries in Europe. In Europe, it is only lower than a few small countries such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, and Portugal.

The Ottoman Empire is just the opposite. Its national life is indeed at the bottom of Europe. Even like Russia, it is still a society mainly based on farming. More importantly, they are still a semi-slave society. To this day, they still engage in illegal activities of buying and selling slaves, and the law cannot stop them. This is in conflict with the national laws and national cognition of Spain, Italy and Portugal. Therefore, in my opinion, the cooperation between the four countries is only a temporary measure, not a long-term countermeasure. I am more optimistic about Spain, Portugal and Italy. The relationship between. "

Reporter: "Thank you..."

Second update, I sincerely ask for recommendations. \u003cdd\u003e
