Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Two places? I'm curious, which of these two places will they choose?"

“One place is Basra”

"It's Basra!" Alfonso couldn't express his composure anymore, because this place was simply too amazing for him. However, he realized immediately that there were two more places, and compared with before Chirac's logical sequence is already obvious, that is, the last one is the most likely place, so Basra is even less likely. This made him feel a little pity. You know, that was Basra. Imagine that he had the urge to write a letter to Mohammed V directly to ask for Basra, but after thinking about it, he held back and said nothing. , if you ask for it directly, it may definitely lead to the opposite result.

After all, as a big country, he certainly knows that Muhammad V will not be truly threatened to the extent that others can give his country land. Even if the other party agrees, then the conditions for land replacement will definitely be higher than the original asking price. There was a lot of ups and downs, and he was definitely the one who suffered the loss, so he restrained the urge. However, before he could calm down, he was overwhelmed by a new surprise.

"The second place is the Hassa region where we are now entering the Kingdom of Najd."

"It turned out to be Hasa?" Alfonso felt a little dizzy. If Basra was what he wanted, then the Hasa region was definitely what he wanted most. Many people in Basra today cannot see how important it is. This is mainly because the oil fields in Iraq have not yet been discovered, and the value of Iraq’s only Persian Gulf port has not yet been explored. Of course, the main reason is that, This place is close to Persia, and whether it is used as a military port or a port city, it will be very risky to a certain extent, because Persia and the Ottomans are antagonistic, and if a military port is built here, it will be easily threatened.

It is even imagined that as long as the Persian Empire blocks the Strait of Hormuz, or the British blockade it, then the fleet inside will definitely have a reason to survive. After all, the British warships are definitely not comparable, and , after the blockade, it is a huge waste to invest a large amount of resources in it without getting corresponding returns.

The geographical location can be seen as a big city, but it is so close to the Persian Empire and Kuwait, which is governed by the British. If they are attacked from both sides, they are not just making clothes for others. Therefore, Basra is like this, under the concerns of the Ottoman Empire. It can't be developed because of the dust.

And Hasa is even worse than Basra. At least in terms of port advantages, it is not as good as Basra's deep water conditions. In addition, Hasa is even more deserted. The fertile land in the two river basins is famous, and here The same is true in desert arid zones.

However, Alfonso knew what others did not know, that it was in the Dammam area of ​​Kazakhstan, where the richest oil in the world was buried underground, and it was also the most exploitable oil field.

He wanted to get this in his hands a long time ago, so he spent so much time and energy on the Three-Nation Free Trade Zone to encircle it. If, now, he thinks that if the Ottoman Empire really replaces it, , then he will definitely terminate this project. No, he flashed his eyes and thought that this should be replaced by other Ottoman Empire lands. I wonder, what about Basra? Will Muhammad V agree? Suddenly, he thought of another question, that is, the land replaced by the Ottoman Empire was determined to be less Spanish. "What did the Ottoman Empire want?" However, I understand that they should not dare to open their mouths.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. They will never have the audacity to ask for our land." After saying this, he walked next to Alfonso, and then whispered a series of names in his ear. Among them, what was the Pacific Ocean? some type of. After Alfonso heard this, he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"If this is the case, then what are we dissatisfied with? Then, we will wait for our distinguished guests to arrive, but before that, Chirac, you first go and investigate something."

"What's going on?" Chirac's face was startled and then he straightened up and asked.

Alfonso glanced at him, and then said solemnly, word by word: "Is Edward VII really seriously ill?"

"Chirac's pupils expanded sharply. He knew about Edward VII's condition. He even told His Majesty the earliest onset of his illness. However, what Your Majesty meant was that Edward VII was already close to death. No, if this is the case, then this will definitely shock the world. After all, as the monarch of the world's largest country, if he is found to be in a situation where his time is running out, then it is very likely that there will be chaos in the British colonies. In fact, the world will become turbulent because of this. As a result, the world will be in a different situation than it is now. He immediately understood how important the task given to him by His Majesty was, so he did not dare to question it. Implement it immediately.

"Edward VII, please tell me, should I call you uncle, or should I treat you as an enemy? However, even so, I still hope that you can leave this world of strife. I think, as you go, If you leave, the world will be different. Should it be more exciting, or should it be more cruel? "

Historically, Edward VII died in October 1910. In the same month, Chulalongkorn of the Kingdom of Siam also died. On that day, Halley's Comet, known as the "Broom Star", appeared in the night sky. Siamese people all say this is a bad omen. On October 10, King Edward VII of England passed away, and Chulalongkorn followed him two weeks later.

Now Alfonso has begun to prepare for the departure of the two monarchs of the West and the East. He is designing and building that as early as tomorrow in October, Spain will face the departure of the two monarchs of the world. Be prepared to analyze what benefits will be obtained. He wants to maximize the interests of Spain, instead of just watching the world continue to move forward according to history and gaining nothing.

"What everyone didn't expect was that Spain would actually cooperate with the Ottoman Turks."

There is no airtight wall in the world. Spain can get information, and of course other countries can, too. As the Saudi tribe that pays most attention to the Ottoman Empire in the world, Ibn Saud will naturally not lag behind others in spying on the Ottoman Empire. When it came to deploying intelligence personnel, they also remained attentive. Therefore, when they obtained intelligence in Spain, they also obtained the same intelligence. (To be continued.
