Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Alliance?"

"Yes, in the future, Spain will mainly focus on consolidating alliance relations. As many people have speculated, Spain's foreign policy will undergo strategic contraction, and its main energy will be on developing relations with its allies. In the relationship between Spain and Spain, of course, we will continue to pay attention to some major international issues, such as those that will endanger Spain and its allies."

Alfonso said in a joking tone: "After all, they're all knocking on your door, so it's no good if you don't pay attention, right?"

The congressmen laughed naturally and cooperatively.

"Hello, your great Majesty, I am Congressman, Lawrence. In terms of diplomacy, since we have decided to focus on key allies, I also fully agree with this. I am also a member of the Military Committee. I would like to ask your Majesty What is more important is that regarding the future military development of Spain, what can His Majesty share with us members of Congress? Of course, apart from secrets, it goes without saying that I don’t want to be suspected of being a spy for other countries.”[

"Spain's military will continue to develop, but it will not be carried out outside the existing areas. We will carry out military operations based on our existing bases. Here, one thing I can make clear is that we In the next few years, unless there is a hostile country that poses a military threat to us, otherwise we will reduce our military operations around the world and we will mainly focus on selling military weapons. "

Lawrence asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, Spain will not take the initiative to carry out military operations in the future?"

Lawrence's question also asked everyone's thoughts. They all started discussing it after hearing Alfonso's words. Obviously, they all felt that Alfonso's decision was very shocking. After all, Now Spain is definitely a country with international superpower influence. It can even be said that it is the only force that can truly compete with Britain and Germany. France is still worse than them. From the perspective of many small and medium-sized countries, this is very powerful. After all, for them, they are very worried about one family dominating the world or monopolizing the world. The existence of Spain as a force has made Britain, Germany, France, etc. more balanced. Got it

In order to win allies, these big countries are willing to lower their stature when dealing with these small and medium-sized countries to win over them. But if Spain withdraws from such an economic competition, the rules of the game will change again. Although Germany has a strong national power, it has developed late. So until now, in addition to having some strength in Africa, in other places, that is, through several cooperations with Spain, several more important bases have been added in Asia, instead of being as important in Asia as it was in its original history. In the end, the British and Japanese even casually took over their colonies and took them as their own.

Obviously, these politically sensitive reporters and congressmen present understand this truth. It is precisely because they understand it that they caused a sensation.

Creston's face behind him even changed. This scene happened to be seen by many reporters, which made them quickly capture it.

"The Spanish Minister of Defense changed the king's consultation meeting and knew nothing about the content of the king's speech." "The King of Spain did not know the minister of defense beforehand, and the two had a grudge." "Internal discord is the hidden fire in Spain."

They have thought of many possibilities. Tomorrow's headlines have already been decided. These are their titles. As long as they think about these titles, they can limit their imagination. The results make them very excited.

Alfonso continued to speak as if he didn't see it: "Yes, we will take the safety of ourselves and our allies as the basis. As for other countries, we have decided to ensure that they do not violate or threaten our national security and interests." Under the premise that our allies take the initiative to provoke but are threatened or even attacked, we will seize the machine of war."

"Hello, Your Majesty, I am Senator John Kerry representing Madrid. Your Majesty, you can call me Kerry. I would like to ask your Majesty, in your opinion, where do you place Spain in the world? And Spain As for our allies, what position do you position yourself to be?”

Alfonso looked at the very young-looking senator in the audience with approval, "Can you tell me your age? Senator Kerry?"

Kerry straightened his waist more and more, and then said: "Of course, I am twenty-six years old."

"Coax" everyone exclaimed. A twenty-six-year-old senator is too young. Many people couldn't help but think of a man in the United States who also served as a senator at a young age, Franklin Roosevelt, born in 1882. He was elected as the New York State Senator in 1910 at the age of 28, and now his name is John Kerry. He is only 26 years old now, younger than Franklin Roosevelt, and more importantly, Roosevelt Jr. was only a senator in New York. Congressman, not Washington, D.C.

But John Kerry is a senator from Madrid, the capital of Spain. There are only two senators in each term. You must know that a senator is elected every two years. In other words, this time in the senatorial election, Kerry Defeated all Madrid candidates and won the final victory. Thinking of this, everyone understood a truth. Combined with the current concern of the King of Spain, everyone tacitly understood that this Goodman had received what he wanted. As a result, his future is beginning to shine.

Many people are speculating on his future prospects. Generally speaking, after becoming a senator, he will run for mayor or deputy governor-level positions. For example, he will serve as deputy governor of various ministries of the country. After all, Madrid The status of the city is no less important than that of an ordinary state. After serving as the mayor of Madrid, after reaching the deputy governor level, you can hold the position of governor or deputy minister. In Spain, the tenure is generally four years. That is to say, the transition between these two positions only lasts about eight years. After eight years, at the age of thirty-four, he can become an official at various ministry levels in Spain, such as the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and even the Minister of National Defense. Minister, etc., if the people are satisfied, he can even run for the position of Prime Minister of Spain at the age of 38. In short, this is absolutely extraordinary; an enviable age, and when seeing him, many people naturally think of him Jeb and Javier

Both of them became high-ranking officials in Spain at a young age, and now they are Spanish ambassadors stationed at a regional level. Their level is equivalent to that of a cabinet minister, and they are half a level higher than the governor. If nothing else, how long will it take for them to wait? When they return to Madrid after 2018, it will be the time when they actually enter the cabinet and are not just ordinary cabinet ministers. Many of their targets have already been fixed on the foreign minister and finance minister. As for how they will be allocated these two positions. , but it is impossible to leave other positions. After all, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of North America is Miguel, the former Spanish Minister of Industry, and now in terms of importance, the five representatives belong to Miguel. The lowest ranking, so it would not make sense if Javier and Jeb returned to the cabinet at a lower position than Miguel.

"25 years old? It's really a very young age. Now, I'm a little curious about you. I wonder how your Excellency, Senator, gained the support of Madrid voters. What is your occupation?"

"My profession is a lawyer. Although I don't want to show off, I still want to say that I was the youngest intermediate court lawyer in Madrid before. Maybe it was because the last time I went to LA with the youngest Captain Franco in Spain, The reason was that I was a guest interviewer on Mr. Fei’s program, and then I worked on several cases one after another. Therefore, my reputation in Madrid increased a lot. In addition, Madrid voters paid attention to me, so I completed the project. For the first time in my life, I have made a magnificent transformation and become a senator who cares about the country and Madrid. I am very grateful to them for giving me this opportunity."

Very humble, this was Alfonso's first impression, Franco. Alfonso thought of the rising star in the army who was only ten years old now, and thought to himself: This is not bad. There are Javier and Jeb in front of him, and then... There is also Franco and Kerry. The establishment of these combinations will reduce the troubles for Spanish politics in the future. But is Franco placed in the military? Or pull him back to the "government", which makes Alfonso a little embarrassed. After all, Franco was a real dictator during the Second World War in his previous life. If he was placed in the military, he would be afraid. He will one day control the military, and if he is placed in the "government", there is a danger that both the military and the government will be straddled. After all, he is now the most promising rising star in the Spanish military. I admire him. There must be a lot of people who have good relations with him, and there are also a lot of people who are optimistic about him. This is his military development capital [

The more they resemble each other, the more Alfonso feels a headache. Forget it, with his years of training and his vigilance, he believes that he can still control the other party and prevent him from jumping around. As for killing him as soon as possible, Just kidding, have you ever seen a great king kill his future talents?

As for the John Carey in front of us, he is a lawyer and should be a good person who can check and balance Franco. Yes, let's use him to check and balance Franco. A person with a military background and a court background. People, the collision of these two phases should create a lot of sparks by then, right? Alfonso is starting to look forward to it (To be continued...)
