Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

What Alfonso didn't expect was that less than two months after his speculation, Vacharajon called. Vacharazon, who was crying slightly on the phone, told him that Tralongkorn had passed away. .

Alfonso couldn't believe it when he heard it, but the affirmative tone of the other party let him know that the other party was sober.

After the conversation between the two, Alfonso learned about a situation.

Tralongkorn was a relatively decent person, so when he saw his new concubine, he quickly became addicted to sex and couldn't extricate himself. Then, while playing every night, he finally fell ill the day before yesterday, and passed away without waking up yesterday because of this. ..

Wacharazhong finally decided to rely on Spain to deal with his two brothers.

After Alfonso got Wacharazhong's phone call, there was silence for a while, and then he asked: "

"Okay, now is not the time to be sad. Let's talk about it. Now, what do you plan to do?" Now the Siam Empire has begun to split. Since Vacharajong has already obtained the status of crown prince, So that's where the capital is. And because Wacharadong's mother is the queen of Siam, all the forces in this area and the south are supporting Wacharadong. Of course, these are targeting Wacharadong. The reason for the orthodox inheritance of the crown prince status is that if the other two people also have the status of crown prince, maybe they will also support each other in this way. ..

The fourth prince Arpiyo supported by the French and the fourteenth prince Lapi supported by the British now occupy Laos and Cambodia respectively in Alfonso's memory. Those two places have now begun to be penetrated more by the British. And whether it was intentional or not, Tralongkorn was also secretly supporting the two princes in arranging their cronies in those two places.

This made Alfonso very puzzled at first. But gradually, he finally guessed some of the other party's intentions, but he did not tell Wachala Rong about his intentions.

"Now Arpiot is supported by the French, expanding their strength in the northeastern region, and is said to have garrisons led by his cronies in , and , while in the southeast, Rapiu is supported by the British. They also have their own armies. Both of them now secretly say that they have an army of 100,000 people."

"About 50,000 to 60,000 people, but because of the participation of Britain and France. It is not an exaggeration to say that the combat strength reaches 100,000 Siamese soldiers."

Alfonso naturally already knew this. The arms of Britain and France, and the two countries, in order to protect their own interests in Siam, spared no effort to cultivate armies under their two banners. Even a blind person knows the situation in Siam. It is now facing a dispute. When the King-Prince battle approaches. At this time, there are soldiers in hand. Even the more elite soldiers there are, the greater the chance of victory will be.

As a country that supports the prince's claim to be king. The benefits gained by then will definitely be huge. As a result, Arpiot and Lapi now enjoy the full support of France and Britain.

Although Vacharajong currently holds the status of crown prince, he is within the true sphere of ruling influence. He was supposed to have control over the entire Kingdom of Siam, but now he only has control over places such as Einnam, Henan, and Henan. Among them, Bangkok is a mixed bag because it is the royal capital, so it is not really a place. His territory.

"What if I want to get all of Siam?" The man holding the phone unconsciously squeezed it tighter, and his heart jumped faster.

"No, you should know that Britain and France are now beginning to peek at the place under your rule. Although we can support you, you should also know that Spain will never be able to cope with the joint attack of their two countries. . Especially when the Kingdom of Siam is surrounded by their colonies, don’t forget that Malaya, the Philippines and Myanmar are now British colonies, plus Vietnam and other places in the east, and the attitude is biased towards the British Dutch Indonesia, if Spain is clearly involved now, it may be greatly disadvantageous for us.

Therefore, we must only act secretly and cooperate in the name of the two countries, instead of using stimulating military means to forcefully demonstrate against them. "

"Then what you mean is that we are just waiting for the other party's machinery to go west and south and then drive directly into Bangkok, and then I am waiting to go to jail?" Wacha Lazhong couldn't bear it for a while. , so the tone was somewhat dissatisfied. After he finished speaking, he realized who he was talking to, and he immediately felt a little regretful. What would happen if he got angry when he scolded him, he felt chilled just thinking about it.

When he found that the other party still didn't respond, he regretted it even more. The dissatisfaction in his heart had already turned into uneasiness, and his face turned pale.

He knew that the other party had not hung up. Could it be that he was waiting for his apology!

"right"

But he didn't wait for the next word. Alfonso's words made him feel surprised and a little ashamed at the same time.

"Okay, if that's the case, I promise you that Spain will rule on the territorial issues, and we will do our best to protect the area you currently rule. So, don't tell the story about your father's death. What we are doing now is to stabilize your two brothers and the British and French countries behind them, and then we will"

In March 1910, while Europe was in the coldest winter, the smell of spring had already begun to arrive in the Far East and Southeast Asia.

On March 2nd, the Crown Prince of Siam, Watchararajan, officially announced that because Spain has a world reputation in the Pacific region, when Siam faces various troubles, especially in terms of public security, Siam The Kingdom of Luo will ask Spain for advice on governance issues, so it will invite the Spanish army and police in Western Australia to come to Siam to teach courses on police and military law enforcement as well as the combat capabilities of soldiers. In addition, In addition, in order to develop the economy of Siam, it was also to develop economic relations and trade volume with Spain.

Siam decided to invite Spanish Finance Minister Chávez to visit Siam at the same time to discuss free trade negotiations and free trade zone negotiations between the two countries.

Spain welcomes this.

But in contrast, the British government raised questions.

"We have reason to believe that if such a free trade agreement negotiation is successful, the industrial momentum developed by Siam when it was just Westernizing was completely overwhelmed by products from Spain. Such a If it comes, it is very likely that Siam International Kanghui will become just a market for Spain. Rather than a real partner of Spain." The person who stood up to speak was the British Minister of Industry and Commerce, Winston Churchill.

The French government directly declared that the free trade agreement between Siam and Spain was unhelpful to Siam and even traitorous.

The French president stood up directly and said: "Siam is a great country. They have many scenic spots and historic sites. Although their object of belief is Buddhism, because all people believe in religion, there are many Buddhist teachings in the country. And various great people were born, who had the same responsibility to save all sentient beings as the teachings. Such a country was originally a beautiful paradise living in peace. However, now it has joined in negotiations such as the ziyou trade zone. As long as Thinking about it, after Spain started free trade with Siam, the country’s one-way export of products and Spain’s import diversification, it is not difficult to guess that Siam may have already suffered losses in the cooperation market this time. xing.

Therefore, as a neighboring country of Siam, we hope that Siam can carefully consider the consequences of negotiating free trade like this again. Finally, we hope to enhance the military relationship between France and Siam, and are willing to help Siam develop its military and spiritual capabilities like Spain. "The words contained a faint meaning of checking and balancing the dominance of the Spanish family, and the charm of provocation was obvious.

However, the Spanish government strongly refuted this. Spanish Finance Minister Chávez answered the media's questions about the opinions of Britain and France before his trip.

"We have always maintained friendly relations with the Kingdom of Siam. Our relationship has always been a very pure relationship between friends and trading partners. Unlike some countries, they say it sounds nice, but in fact But there is an idea of ​​​​invading the territory of other countries. I don’t know which countries here. In the end, we came here with honor and equal mutual assistance to discuss economic and trade cooperation and humanitarian assistance. We brought yo Pu has great sincerity,

On behalf of our King Alfonso XIII's respect and enthusiasm for the Kingdom of Siam, he came to the beautiful Eastern country of Siam. I hope that the relevant countries will no longer have close relations with us, and please do not set up unreasonable obstacles to the relationship between our two countries to prevent us from unstoppable progress, because you cannot stop our great friendship."

Although the Kingdom of Siam did not express anything clearly, the voices coming out still expressed their views relatively clearly, that is, the Kingdom of Siam welcomes Spain's help and is willing to gradually open trade negotiations with Spain.
