Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

() Yan Shun looked around and said, but he was non-committal about the layout here. At the same time, he also had a huge feeling in his heart. A few decades ago, when he heard the person in front of him, he would definitely get down. He had wet his pants and peed, but now, he had to be careful by his side. He had to sigh in his heart, it was good to be powerful and rich, but the master back then had to fawn over him now. You can do it yourself.

"The layout here is good, Your Majesty, you have simply moved the largest and most luxurious VIP room of your country's inn here."

"Where, look, what Marquis Yan said makes it seem like I am really that greedy and vain. In fact, you also know that I am not that kind of person."

Yan Shun almost spat out the tea when he heard this. This joke is really a bit big. Let me ask you, who doesn’t know that Prince Chun of the Qing Dynasty is the person who loves money and accepts bribes in this era? I remember that I gave him a gift when they first met. We could only meet each other after paying homage to each other, and now we still say that we are not greedy for money. Is this still what people say? ..

He said with a smile, "That's true, but as people say, being greedy for money is not a bad thing. As long as you come in the right way, it doesn't matter if you talk more."

"Well said." Marquis Yan really has his way. "Prince Chun didn't know if it was true or pretending. He said with excitement on his face: "The last time I saw Your Excellency, I was still an earl, but now I am. Marquis, as far as I know, the titles in your country from low to high are squire, baron, viscount, earl, marquis, duke, prince, and Asturi, who represents the country's prince, who is also our country's prince. Prince, King or Queen of Yas. This is your country’s title list.

Marquis Yan's position has reached the fifth position in Spain from top to bottom. If you look at it from the perspective of not being a member of the royal family. Apart from the Duke, they are already at the top. With the ability of the Marquis and the popularity with His Majesty Alfonso XIII, sooner or later he will reach the high and powerful position of the Duke. At that time, it will be the real He is a high-ranking minister."

Obviously, Prince Chun had carefully learned about Spanish titles. He spoke truthfully and in the end he did not forget to flatter Yan Shun.

For this, Yan Shun could only say thanks modestly, but nothing else. To the point of not being humble enough to say it’s impossible. He didn't use it too much to show off his face.

This made Prince Chun feel uncomfortable. Such a talent could become an important minister of other countries like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He knew the history of the other party. Know something about the other person's relationship with them. but. So he deliberately didn't get close there. From now on, he also saw that the other party's thoughts had the same purpose as his. This reassured him a lot. If the other party shows off like he does before, then it will be really difficult for him. After all, even killing a foreigner will cause international disputes, not to mention that it is the third largest country in the world, a favored minister of the king, and a favored minister in Asia. Regional spokesperson. These identities have destined him to serve the other party carefully.

However, he also knew that this was an opportunity. Judging from the other party's words and deeds, it was obvious that the other party was also seeking cooperation. Several meetings had already shown this. Neither Ugou nor Ugou got into the topic. This time, would it be possible? It's the same as last time. By the way, there is also the issue of military exercises. I will have to ask one of the important figures of the country involved later. Having made up his mind, he felt a lot more relaxed.

He smiled and said: "The story of the Marquis in Spain is admirable. Every time I think of it, I hate myself endlessly. I hate why I wasn't born a few years earlier. In that case, I could retain talents like Marquis Yan and stay here for me." We, the Qing Dynasty, have made great contributions, and now, the Qing Dynasty has fallen to this point. I have to say, this is a very sad situation."

Playing the sympathy card? Somewhat funny. Since you are going to come like this, then why not accompany you. Anyway, I am here around you. Since I have already spoken, I will use the trick and start to enter the topic with half truth and half lies. Looking at Prince Chun's appearance, Yan Shun immediately had an idea.

"Well, I have to say that your family does have a lot of problems." Seeing Prince Chun's slightly changed expression, Yan Shun said: "However, this cannot be said to be just your problem. There are various problems all over the world. Various problems, for example, Japan is developing so well now, but who knows, they are just using the military to promote the development of the country. This is just drinking poison to quench their thirst. When military development They will definitely realize that they are wrong when the materials are not available, and it will be dangerous at that time. A real conflict may even break out and they may explode and die.”

"Seriously," Prince Chun exclaimed. After saying it, he realized that it was a bit rude and said sheepishly: "We must also pay attention to the country of Japan. After all, there are many differences between the two countries. Big origin”

origin? Yan Shun didn't laugh at him this time.

"There is a crisis, but it also depends on how Japan spends it. If, I mean, if Japan finds a good way, then in the end it will be a huge opportunity, and for Qingzheng fu For me, it’s a huge disaster.”

"What, how is it possible? There is such a big difference. Please give me some advice from Marquis Yan personally. Please also give me a clear path." Prince Chun looked at Yan Shunzai with a pale face. At this moment, he realized that Yan Shun actually It's so powerful. Although he doesn't quite believe that Japan's chances can be directly proportional to the disasters of the Qing Dynasty, sometimes, one should rather believe in its existence than in its absence.

"Yan Shun said seriously: "Don't think I'm scaring you. Although I have to say that I am Spanish now, but I still came from this country, and I still have a lot of local feelings in my heart. I don't want to be here either. It has become a place conquered under the iron heel of other countries, causing your country to encounter disastrous consequences again. Then I couldn't help but say, of course l, these are also carried out by me with the authorization of our Majesty. "

Seeing that Prince Chun was listening carefully, Yan Shun did not go around in circles and said directly: "Japan's current method of economic development, seriously speaking, is no different from that of the German Empire. They are working hard to manufacture weapons to increase the number of people. Jobs, but they are different from the German Empire. Japan is an island country, where there is a food crisis and a mineral crisis. The German Empire is almost self-sufficient in food, and there is one more thing. The German Empire still has A large number of colonies and mineral problems can also be solved, but please look at Japan. It is surrounded by the sea and the country's land is extremely poor. In addition, the economic development has been very slow for decades. The country is now It is still borrowing money from other countries everywhere to maintain its economy. It can be said that it is a country that borrows money to maintain its economy and support the country.

Such an economic development program itself is wrong. The strong economic strength of the German Empire can be sustained for a long time, but Japan cannot. If I think correctly, they want to break this order on the Korean Peninsula after they understand this mistake. The first step is to obtain the resources on the Korean Peninsula, then this economic model can be greatly continued and developed. According to my data, it is still possible in ten or eight years. However, if Japan itself is not satisfied with the current situation, If they want to speed up again at this speed, then their ambition will come. Their next goal will be to continue to look west. Where is the strength of Russia? I think His Royal Highness Prince Chun should See what I mean. "

"The Marquis wants to say that Japan is very likely to choose to invade us, and then strengthen itself and continue the development of the country's economic and national strength."

"Yes, you know, if Japan bites you more, they can strengthen themselves and at the same time weaken you further. This cycle will eventually become a world-class power. At that time, you finally realized that you had become a supplement to Japan, and you were in decline."

Prince Chun was not an idiot, and he already understood that Yan Shun was worried that Japan would be too powerful to threaten Spain's interests in the Far East. After understanding this, he felt relieved. He was originally unsure of the other party's thoughts. At this moment, he calmed down. He was very cautious and said: "I don't know what can give us the ability to fight against them. I mean, we can prevent Japan from growing so big that it threatens the status of world powers like you in the Far East."

"It's very simple, as long as you cooperate with us," Yan Shun said.

"How to cooperate?" Prince Chun asked.

"I know you will want to ask me about the four-nation joint exercise. What I want to say about cooperation is this,"

"Are you saying that you want us to participate in the joint exercise? In this case, we will naturally not object. On the contrary, it will be too late to be happy," Prince Chun said excitedly.

"Exercise? No, this is impossible" Yan Shun shook his head and denied.

After hearing Yan Shun's words, Prince Chun said slightly disappointed: "What is that?"

"Do you know why we, the four countries, need to use such a large array in this exercise?" Yan Shun asked without answering. There was a hint of mystery in his tone. This aroused Prince Chun's interest, and the disappointment just now disappeared instantly.

"Why, isn't it just to demonstrate for the countries in the Pacific?" After Prince Chun finished speaking, even he felt that this question was a bit silly.

"Of course not, because we are prepared"
