Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

For them, it is naturally the most cost-effective to follow Spain. After all, they follow a suzerain country and it is also one of the most developed countries in the world. Technology and other cultures are among the world's leading existences. Following such a country, they Only a country can develop better. If it follows the example of Russia,

It is definitely the worst for South American countries, because as the Spanish reporter said at the previous press conference of Nicholas II in St. Petersburg, the per capita income of South American countries will exceed that of Russia this year and next. , and South America is developing even more rapidly.

In other words, if South America follows Spain, it will have a better and brighter future. But if it follows a big country that its own country has surpassed economically, then what benefits can it get? The economic achievements that took more than ten years of hard work were picked up all at once. This is really a big loss.

After all, capitalism is an economic development system derived from the colonial economy. No one can say for sure, including the world's largest economic power like the United States, whether it will try to plunder its own country's economy.

Now that Alfonso is back, presidents, politicians, patriots, student groups and the general public in these countries are finally breathing a sigh of relief. Afterwards, various celebration activities were held to celebrate Alfonso's safe return. . [

Many people know that Spain under the leadership of Alfonso is definitely not a peaceful country, so this includes the United States and France. Many people are eagerly waiting for Alfonso to once again attract international attention due to the uneasy mood of the citizens of these countries that do not have very good relations with Spain.

However, the series of news that followed made people dizzy and chose to put Alfonso's attention aside for the first time.

First in Asia.

On June 22, 1912, Lu Xun, Prime Minister of the "Government" of the Republic of China, officially announced in Nanjing that they had consulted with the President of the North, Yuan Shikai, and through a democratic parliamentary vote, finally announced that the Republic of China would adopt a policy based on national conditions and Different situations in each region and the adoption of different latest national policies for social and economic reform will divide the Republic of China into four major reform areas. The three eastern provinces are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian. In these three provinces, Lu Xun will personally guide the reform plan, while in the north it will be carried out by Yuan Shikai, in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, it will be carried out by the new deputy prime minister Li Yuanhong, who has the title of deputy prime minister like Zhao Bingjun, and in the south it will be carried out by Vice President Song Jiaoren .

The term is 4 years. It will be accepted in 1915. The area that gets the best results at that time. National reform actions will be implemented nationally by policies in the region. Even the four major political parties, the Unionist Party, the Kuomintang, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Republican Party, have agreed to hold the first national election in 1916. At that time, the party will officially implement the policies resulting from this experiment.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked. Many people could not have imagined that the situation in the Republic of China, which was originally chaotic, would turn out to be somewhat chaotic. This made many countries, especially Japan, worried. After all, what Japan needs most is a "chaotic" Greater China, which refers to the kind of warlord separatism, rather than the current one where policies can be coordinated and unified. This is absolutely good news for Japan. Good news.

Even for this reason, the Japanese Emperor Meiji, who has not received much attention in Japan, unexpectedly summoned the current Prime Minister Katsura Taro and the ruling party partner Saionji Komochi. As well as Ito Hirobumi and other members of the Elder Council who were far away in the Korean Peninsula, they had an economic negotiation. Outsiders didn't know what they were about, but after they came out, everyone's face became unnatural. , this time even the two people who were originally fighting with each other, Ito Hirobumi and Katsura Taro, also nodded to each other and said hello. This made countries that had been paying attention to Japan also start to become interested, but although everyone did not We can know what the real content of the talks is, but we also know that it is based on the reform of the Republic of China.

This is true for Japan, and even more true for Russia. Even compared to Japan who only worries about the policies of the Republic of China, Nicholas II of Russia even feels more pressure because he was gloating about Alfonso's disappearance some time ago. The day after Su returned, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs had received a diplomatic note from Spain, and even a letter of protest. In the letter of protest, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed dissatisfaction with Nicholas II of Russia's many misunderstandings and misunderstandings of Spain. Slander, I hope that Russia can do more things that are beneficial to the feelings of the two peoples in the coming days, instead of the other way around. While sending it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the "government", the Spanish "government" actually made it public directly through the media. Letter, this made Nicholas II very angry.

Nicholas II was so angry that he almost suffered serious internal injuries. You said that Spain was going to give us a hard time, so we tolerated it, but we can't be so shameless, and Nicholas II was always a strong person. People, otherwise they would not have fallen out with Spain just because of Alfonso's few words, and then led to the current bad West-Russian relations.

Originally, after that incident, Nicholas II had some fear of Alfonso, so he couldn't help but cheer after Alfonso disappeared and show off about it everywhere, but as Alfonso disappeared, The appearance of Suo suddenly made Nicholas II, the former Shi Gandang type, look like a coward. He originally didn't want to interact with Spain, but now that Spain has made such a move, he has to stand up and face Spain pretending to be tough. However, everything has changed from him and his "government". No need to speculate in the tone of pain, you already know that Russia is now deliberately avoiding irritating Spain. Because of Russia's submission, many people were originally interested, but now they have cooled down.

However, the relationship between Russia and Spain is naturally not the only one in the world that has a good relationship. It is not just the actions of the Republic of China in Asia and Japan's reaction that deserve everyone's attention.

As for the changes in the Republic of China, although Russia still has the ability to exert pressure, they were suppressed by the four countries of Britain, Germany, West and Japan in the Far East, but they did not dare to act rashly there, and the consequences of this , naturally they only had diplomatic secret notices to the "government" of the Republic of China. Without the accompanying force, the results were naturally very little.

At this time, many people have new news to read. And it still attracts a lot of attention.

First up was Time, which again published its 1912 Summer World University Competitiveness Ranking.
