Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Your applause makes me feel soothed in my heart." Mianshan just had a warm meaning, but it changed again. He became more serious and said: "However, it seems that what I need more now is to ask questions, you guys, right?" As soon as the word "right" came out, a completely different smile appeared on his face.

In this way, the members in the audience can't keep up with His Majesty's attitude. After all, is this a serious meeting? Or is it going on in a funny atmosphere? Your Majesty, it is really becoming more and more unclear what his inner thoughts are. This is especially true for the old congressmen.

"I am Senator James from the Mekong Delta State. Your Majesty, welcome your return. The question I want to raise is somewhat related to Fano's, but there is still a big difference. That is, now our Mekong Delta State has been established. Although the governor is still called Governor Bick to act, let’s not mention it for the moment. As a senator from the Mekong Delta state, I would like to ask, compared with the two areas of land that have been developed in Western Australia and New Zealand, they It has also succeeded with the rise of Spain. What plan will the Mekong Delta, which is now under Spanish rule, use to position its development? I think it should not be [pornography], gambling, shipbuilding and other industries."

"Of course not." After Alfonso waited for James to finish speaking, he immediately vetoed, "This is a good place. Although the current population is only a small 300,000 people, compared to other places, this place is Comparing areas with insufficient labor force, they also have a huge advantage that is difficult to compare with other places. That is the advantage of the region. In front of them is Palawan Island, which is close to the British colony of the Philippines and Malaya. It can be said that it is one of the places where we dock Chinese ships going south, and it also creates the more convenient transshipment advantage of Palawan Island.

The Mekong Delta is even worse than Palawan Island, and it is more central than Palawan Island. After all, Palawan Island has many excellent docks, and they are all controlled by the British. , so the United Kingdom will naturally not choose Palawan Island. Therefore, Palawan Island can only do business with ships from other European countries, Japan, China and other countries. [

This was not originally wrong. But with the development in recent years. Siam has now become one of the big countries in the region. Siam's current economic development is not inferior to that of Russia in terms of per capita, and even exceeds it by a lot. And Cambodia. French Vietnam, France's ally Laos, etc. plus the British colony of Malaya to the south. The Dutch colonial Indonesian Islands all surrounded the Mekong Delta, which gave it a huge advantage. Therefore, I have consulted with Prime Minister Chavez and major economic think tanks, and finally, the Mekong Delta will be built with the title of East Asia Central Terminal, Asian Warehouse, and Asian Cargo Distribution Center.”

"Really?" James looked at Alfonso with an excited expression. Obviously, this result far exceeded his imagination. It was even fuller, larger, more detailed and more detailed than the result he wanted. Exciting.

Alfonso nodded. Perhaps it really aroused the envy of representatives from other states, or they were afraid that they would not be able to question the people of their own states when they returned, so each senator began to ask their own questions. Most of them were based on the economy and the political system. Spain's status in the country, the country's planning, etc. to raise questions.

Alfonso also gave the answers to their questions one by one.

Generally speaking, West Taiping State will exist as a naval military presence, and Palawan State will exist as a military port in South China and cooperate with the development of the Mekong Delta. Western Australia continues to be famous for Spain's wool, pornography, and gambling industries, while New Zealand continues to develop its economy with the largest shipbuilding center in the Far East, milk, etc.

The Far East State is temporarily designated as a tactical and strategic location, and its status is as important as Antarctica. The Amur region is a development terminal, launching development center services in Northeast Asia, and is also characterized as the center branch there.

The island of Madagascar corresponds to southern Africa and serves as a strategic base for Spain there. New Gabon State continues to develop the dock world in Central and Western Africa, aiming to target the mineral transportation industry here. New Central African State (including southern Cameroon, southern Central Africa, and South Sudan) is well connected to the western territories of Ethiopia. It belongs to Somalia and connects Mogadishu, the largest city in Spanish Somalia in the east, to Douala in South Cameroon in the New Central African State, and Port Gentil in the New Gabon State. A major artery on land linking the Indian and Atlantic oceans.

The Al-Hasa region on the Arabian Peninsula (including Qatar, because it had already come over with Britain) continues to remain silent there, retaining the position of Spanish overseas territories. It is not that Alfonso does not want to directly develop those that can be easily developed of oil, but he is afraid that once it starts, other countries will swarm in, which will immediately trigger conflicts in Iran, Kuwait (UK), the Arab Emirates (UK), the South Arabian Peninsula (UK), and what is still the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The discovery of oil belts in Iraq and other Middle East seems to be very uneconomical for Alfonso. After all, according to his idea, after at least taking over Iraq or Kuwait, other countries must Wexe only slowly stepped forward to mine when he was not there, so that while others could be envied, they did not dare to make any moves to compete for it.

But now, not to mention the ambitious Germany, even France and Italy, whose national power is now lower than Spain, are looking for oil resources everywhere, especially the United Kingdom, which has now begun to suffer from several disputes with the United States in the Gulf of Mexico. They were all defeated in the fight. If they found out that there were a lot of things they wanted here, it would be a lie not to provoke these giant crocodiles.

Although Alfonso is a little arrogant about Britain, he is not arrogant enough to compete with Britain in terms of hard power. After all, Britain now controls Gibraltar, and most importantly, it controls Egypt and the Suez Canal in Egypt. Important military ports such as Maggi and Cyprus. This puts Spain somewhat beyond its reach in the Middle East. And Greater India, Malaya, and Burma.

Kenya, the southern Arabian Peninsula, etc. all belong to the British. There are even more troops stationed here than in the mainland. If you add millions of slave troops, even Russia had to give in when it faced the British here. Three points. What's more, Spain currently has less than 200,000 regular troops around the Indian Ocean.

Therefore, Alfonso reluctantly chose to continue to let Al-Hasa and Qatar lie in silence for the time being. The sparsely populated Canary Islands of Morocco continue to serve as a military center, guarding the security of southern Spain.

As for the local area, it is Alfonso's direct YT development model to develop the local area.

"Your Majesty, where is Minorca? How are you going to develop it?" The appearance of this voice made Alfonso's eyelids jump, and then he saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. (To be continued...)
