Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Thanks to the declining boy, Huang Dong people for their monthly tickets and Snoozy Pig for their rewards.

"Do you feel wronged when you go to Menorca this time, Yama?" The Royal Garden of Spain is still in the same place as last year. It is here that he played with Lucia last year. He was assassinated by Yama when he was young. Now more than a year has passed. The guy with fluffy hair and stubble last year is now following him like a gentleman. This makes him couldn't help but sigh, this man has changed. It's really big. Time is indeed the accomplice of things turning around. Of course, Alfonso's idea at the time was: If I can't reform you, I will cremate you.

"No, I think this is an opportunity. Just like you said, Spain is also my home. The war that year has told us with facts that Spain does not need a civil war. The best way is to Peaceful settlement, after more than 300 days of observation that is different from my previous observations, I have to say that your statement is right. I am completely convinced by you. And since I have the blood of the Spanish royal family, I have the ability to bring Spain into the world. The responsibility to carry it forward, Your Majesty, do you think I am right?”

Your Majesty? This was the first time that Alfonso heard Yama shout out this title. He knew that the other party was formally expressing to him that he recognized himself as the king, and it also marked that Spain started from his grandmother and great-uncle. The war for the throne that lasted for more than 80 years has officially come to an end.

Perhaps those who participated in this war should be surprised and relieved to see the current result. At least those who like Spain's strength and national identity will think so.

"You said, if one day, I make you a king, how will you repay me? Yama?" Alfonso said this sentence in an astonishing way.

Yama's whole body was shocked, and then he quickly turned around, looked at Alfonso, and said extremely seriously: "Since I have recognized you as the real king, there is no possibility of betrayal by me. Alfonso, please allow this." This is the last time I call you by your name like this. I tell you clearly that I am equally loyal to Spain as I am to you. Please don’t use those words that insult my integrity to hurt me again.”

Alfonso was not angry at the disrespect in the other person's words. He smiled, yes, and he smiled happily.

But soon, his face became very serious again, "What if I say that I want to create a country with the blood of the Spanish royal family in the Far East? I want to put this country in the hands of people I trust, and You, Yama, are such a person."

What? I want to establish a country in the Far East and become the king there. What the hell is this? Can I really become the king like this? He couldn't help but look at Alfonso, because her mind was now filled with not only doubts but countless doubts.

"Look at the woods in the distance. There is a big tree. It can be supported by a single tree. I believe that when everyone sees it, they will feel that it is the only big tree and has a strong presence. However, if If there are more small trees around him, then this big tree can better reflect its value, that is, it stands out from the crowd. Of course, Spain did not say that it does not want to stand out from the crowd. On the contrary, as a Spanish We, the royal family, are the only two bloodlines left now. I can’t bear to see the Spanish royal family decline. Their many bloodlines have maintained the prosperity of Britain for hundreds of years.

Spain needs allies, allies that can be close to each other. Such allies are definitely not right for Spain. Apart from exporting to Portugal and half of Italy, the others have become our allies due to interests. Although we have such allies, There are ways to drive them, but if they really make friends with us, there are variables. In this case, why don't we create some ourselves? "

"So your Majesty's idea is to personally transfer me to the Far East and then lay a nail there, so that I can echo the empire's influence there?" Yama is not a fool. As Spain's former conservatives, now The leader of the Carlos Party, how could he be a fool. He guessed Alfonso's thoughts at once.

"Yes, this is my plan." Alfonso didn't mean to deny it. In his opinion, denying it to a smart person is definitely not worth the gain, and it also insults his own wisdom in disguise. "However, before that, Menorca's performance is the prerequisite for you to take over this appointment. If Menorca is successful by then, I will directly announce that Palawan will be transferred directly to your name. , and declare that Palawan will become the Grand Duchy of Spain, and your descendants will inherit this title forever."

Yama said nothing more, because he knew that this was the other party's compensation for his family. Of course, although the Grand Duchy still did not have diplomatic and military rights in fact, it was still a country.

"Okay, go and prepare. The time has been set for December 30th to formally pass the Menorca bill in both houses of Congress. You go back and get familiar with it first."

Watching Yama leave, Alfonso also fell into deep thought.

The strategic position of Palawan Island, located on the southeastern edge of the South China Sea, is very important. Although it is important, unlike Vietnam, which guards the route south of South China, Palawan Island is closer to the major island countries that will emerge in Southeast Asia in the future. The Philippines on the right is Needless to say, it's close at hand. It is three to four hundred kilometers away from Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Adjacent is Kalimantan, the largest island in Southeast Asia where Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia coexist. Directly facing Thailand to the west, Singapore to the southwest, and Vietnam and Cambodia to the northwest. Except for Laos and Myanmar, which are land-rich countries, all ten Southeast Asian countries believe in Palawan. This is why the Americans chose to build a naval base here when they first entered Southeast Asia.

If it were made public, many people would be absolutely confused about Spain's move. Even Yama, who had just left, actually said only half of what Alfonso thought, because what many people don't know is that in a few years In ten years, the world will usher in a wave of bamboo shoots that will sprout from the ground. It will definitely be difficult to resist this wave. Although in Palawan, Hispanics currently account for more than 90% of the total population in Palawan, after all, there It is the land of the Philippines. The Philippines, like Malaysia, Burma, Papua New Guinea and Brunei, is now ruled by the British, while Indonesia is now ruled by the Netherlands, a small follower of the British.

In a few decades, will Britain be willing to leave in despair? Absolutely not, but when forced to do so, how could the British leave on their own while others did not? They are bound to pull other countries into the water. How can the French be willing to watch Spain on top and remain indifferent. Even if these countries didn't say anything, Alfonso didn't think it was okay. The Malvinas Islands battle between Britain and Argentina has been fighting there for decades or hundreds of years. Spain occupied Palawan Island to expand its influence in Southeast Asia. Instead of becoming the object of condemnation by Southeast Asian countries, let Spain become the target of criticism in Southeast Asia. Look at what happened to Britain. When it was strong, no one dared to speak out, but after the South American countries became stronger, Britain's When the position is no longer so superior, even the United States, its only closest ally, does not dare to help in this matter.

The Philippines was ruled by Spain for more than 300 years starting in 1521, and then by the British. Nationalism here will definitely break out in the future, and Spain will never be spared. In this case, the image of Spain itself is that of an invader and colonizer in the eyes of the world, so why not just steal the dragon and turn it into a phoenix, just like Morocco did in later generations, where the royal family with Spanish royal blood established a country and completely integrated into Southeast Asia. At that time, there will no longer be ten countries in Southeast Asia, but eleven countries in Southeast Asia. If the plan can go smoothly, the royal dispute in Siam will be divided into three parts as before, and it will become Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. , with the support Wacharadong has received in Bangkok and other south, plus the support of Spain, then even the influence of the 14th Prince Rapi, supported by the British, in Cambodia, and the 4th Prince Apiyo supported by France No matter how much support Zheng Shuang receives in Laos, as long as the 29th prince Zheng Baowacharadong, supported by Spain, is still in the position of crown prince and continues to be supported by people in the southwest, Spain can definitely make him the monarch of Thailand. , as for becoming the king of the entire Siam, it is not impossible, but is it necessary?

A Thailand that is surrounded by crises is more important to Spain, but a Siamese country makes Spain feel in crisis, because then Britain and France may be thinking about it, but after getting the meat, they will focus on Cambodia and Laos in a bowl. And this also better controls Thailand's fall to Spain. Rather than swinging from side to side.

Open the map of Asia. Among Asian countries, Japan is a maritime country with its territory extending along the Pacific Ocean, China is a continental country occupying the eastern part of Eurasia, and India is located at the southern end of Eurasia. It can be said to be a subcontinental country whose territory extends into the ocean. Looking at the location of Thailand on this map, we can see that Thailand is located in the center of Asia and has outlets to the Pacific and Indian Oceans, which is the so-called "Navel of Asia." Geographically, Thailand can connect the three major countries of Japan, China and India at the same time. Therefore, this is Thailand's most important strategic location in Southeast Asia in terms of future business and strategy.

There is the absolutely submissive Palawan in the east and Thailand in the west. Both countries are located in the core areas of Southeast Asia. With such allies, is Spain afraid of not having any weight in the Far East? Plus Western Australia and New Zealand in the south. After the du lichao flow, many people will discover that Spain's influence at that time is absolutely unprecedented.

The second update was supposed to be the third update, but I went to Futian due to something else. So there will be two updates today, and at least two updates tomorrow.
