Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Alfonso thought in his mind: How do you know. In a few years, what kind of world will the world become? These countries will not be like what they are now. Alfonso has not thought that he can change the world and prevent it from developing like the world in the future, and prevent that direction. development trend.

But in the end, he gave up, because his biggest characteristic is that he is familiar with history. If he cuts off the things he is familiar with, it is no less than abolishing his martial arts skills. How could Alfonso do this? So he chose to continue. According to the original development direction of the world, hang an iron chain in this big ship, put Spain next to this big ship in the trend of the times, let yourself follow the big ship and sail in the same direction, so as not to lose yourself.

Thinking of this, he further strengthened his belief, looked at them, and said: "Don't you think we have too few Spanish friends in the Far East?"

Laura's words gave Alfonso something to say, and she said: "Aren't Japan and the Kingdom of Siam allies of Spain? I think there is the Kingdom of Siam in Southeast Asia and Japan in Northeast Asia. These are enough, even In the separatist forces in mainland China, we can also join forces with Japan to deal with Britain, France, Russia and the United States."

"Wrong" Alfonso said directly in the negative before Laura could finish speaking. Seeing that Laura was not too embarrassed about being interrupted, Alfonso did not mean any apology and said directly: [

"If you think so, then we will definitely suffer in the end. Why don't you believe it? I'll tell you and you will understand. Geographically, the existence of Western Australia is indeed very good for us. This place has the meaning of a paradise far away from Asia. This is undeniable, but this is also a weakness. It is relatively far from the center of Asia, especially China, the largest country in Asia, and Japan, the most powerful country.

Therefore, to a certain extent, we are already in danger of being marginalized, which is why we went all out to build Guam. The purpose is to expand our presence in these places. Palawan Island is the presence in Southeast Asia. We want to make Spain's voice heard around the world. Excuses and strength must complement each other, but. Our most important stronghold, Western Australia, is too far away. Out of reach. This greatly reduces our influence there.

"Oh. So, in the last territorial dispute with France, His Majesty finally chose to trade with them the rare fertile land in Africa in the southern Spanish Congo for the Mekong Delta far in the east. In order to increase his influence in the Far East." Chirac said as he woke up at this time. When he looked at Alfonso, the admiration on his face was undisguised, which made Laura next to him a little annoyed.

"However, this is still somewhat inconsistent with the choice between China and Japan."

"Take your time, you are in a hurry." Alfonso glanced at Laura dotingly, and then said: "Since ancient times, launching wars often does not necessarily mean we can achieve what we want, and using strategies can Yes. Britain is far away from the European continent, but in the past few hundred years, it has repeatedly played with the countries of the European continent in exchange for their best interests. The most important thing that makes other countries unable to resist is Their security environment and they have been exhausted by the British but everyone is still in a balanced state, so the British will gain the greatest benefits at this time. We should have such a set up in the Far East. Now Japan is strong and China Weak, and Russia is now restrained by our four countries in the Far East to force its clones to go south, so at this time, Japan can already use more means to deal with China."

"Ah" Laura was surprised when she heard this. It was really like this. She had forgotten this before, but she couldn't blame her, because before she was looking from the direction of Japan, but now she was looking from the direction of Japan. She was on China's side, so her footing was different, and the effect she saw was different. She said with some worry: "That's really too dangerous."

"No, peace can still continue now." Seeing Laura puzzled by Chirac's thoughtfulness, Alfonso added: "Because Japan lost nearly 100,000 troops and a large amount of supplies in the Russian Far East this time, so It just needs to be supplemented. And now all the major countries in the world are setting their sights there; Japan does not dare to do it in full public view like a snake swallowing an elephant, and it is also afraid of sneak attacks by other powerful countries. Therefore, if our estimate is good, , in order to get a better chance of winning, Japan will continue to expand its army in the next period of time, and then mainly replenish supplies."

At this time, Chirac suddenly asked: "So, in your opinion, when will they choose to carry out the westward expansion strategy?"

"About two years," Alfonso said with certainty. The other two people were infected by Alfonso's confident look, but they forgot to ask him why he was so confident.

"Two years can shape Lu Xun's leadership and allow him to bring China to a stronger stage. Under the influence of Lu Xun, in order to maintain competitiveness, Yuan Shikai will definitely develop his own strength. Only in this way can he To counter Lu Xun, their actions will naturally spread. The Kuomintang and the Republican Party will join in such self-supporting disputes. In order to increase their future bargaining chips, developing the economy and military will become their unified step. By then, Japan will You will find that they will no longer face the China of two or three years ago. What we need is a China that can resist Japan, because our goods need a stable Chinese and Japanese market."

In fact, there is one thing that Alfonso did not say, that is, the Kingdom of Siam does not know whether it will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility that it has given him. Alfonso was a little unsure about this.

"Bang bang bang" They were already planning their next words, but their silence was interrupted by the knock on the door.

Of the three people present, Laura originally had the lowest status. After all, she was only a major general, while Chirac was already a lieutenant general. He was also the most trusted by His Majesty and was in charge of the most important and important Spanish Intelligence Center in Spain. In one of the mysterious departments, it can be said that the difference between the two is definitely not just a level.

However, it was Chirac who opened the door now, because now Laura has become His Majesty's woman after her love affair with Alfonso XIII. If his estimate is good, His Majesty will never be right. There is no concealment of this, and the members of the Royal Council of Elders will not approve of Laura entering the palace. There is also the pressure brought by the United Kingdom. Under the pressure, His Majesty may end up following the example of other European kings. , give Laura a title, such as being made a grand duke, granting a fiefdom, etc. No matter what happens in the end, Chirac also knows that he cannot neglect Laura, and Laura and Alfonso naturally know Chirac's concerns , so it was up to Chirac during this period.

"Everyone, it's lunch time now." The person who knocked on the door was the ship's waiter. The white and somewhat like navy sailor's clothes on them were really eye-catching. Even from the perspective of the 21st century, Alfonso Looking at them, I also think their clothes are very good.

"Okay, I'm hungry too. Let's go. It's been so long since I've been on the ship that I haven't been to the plywood or the canteen. Let's go and have a look." Alfonso said so. Laura and Chirac naturally wouldn't object. , and Laura’s eyes were still filled with eagerness to try. Obviously, her life during this period had also changed a lot in her.

This made Chirac next to him see it and thought to himself: The most beautiful flowers in the army before were picked by His Majesty, but they really melted her cold face. Now, those guys in the army are going to really It's a shame. Unfortunately, they are fed by His Majesty's jealousy. They can't even appeal. Thinking of this, Chirac also smiled on his face. This made Alfonso and Laura feel stunned, and then they guessed that maybe it was Chirac. It's because I'm really hungry, so I feel happy when I hear that I have something to eat.

If Chirac knew what they were thinking, he would definitely jump into the Indian Ocean to wash away the urge in his stomach, which is so weak in enduring hunger.

Alfonso didn't know that Chirac behind him had been misunderstood by the two of them. He smiled and asked the waiter: "I don't know, where is our ship now?" [

The waiter was a tall, thin, typical Spanish man with long hair and a white sailor's hat on his head. He looks very cheerful, and he is probably around 20 years old. It is precisely because of his youth that he looks a little shy. Especially when he sees Laura's charming appearance, he lowers his head from time to time and dare not look directly at her. This makes Alfonso a little funny and also feels a little like it. This young man.

After the waiter glanced at Laura secretly, he looked at Alfonso squarely, especially when he saw Alfonso's unconscious way of lowering his head and not daring to look at him, and he couldn't help but answer his questions. Any question of desire, he felt a little ashamed of himself, and at the same time he felt relieved. Yes, only a person with such an appearance and temperament can be worthy of such an angel-like girl. Looking at the beauty, The girl was holding Alfonso's arm. This time, he seemed a little less jealous and concerned. He said respectfully: "I have passed through Shark Bay not long ago. If nothing happens, I will go through it again." You can reach Pas in seven or eight hours.”
