Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 58 A Jewish Girl

On April 27, 1908, this day finally arrived.

"Britain is indeed the most powerful country in the world. They are rich. Look, it took just over a year to build a forest into a large sports venue. It is amazing."

"Yeah, we didn't quite believe it when the newspapers reported it, but now we realize it's true. It's great."

"Well, what's the point? We in Berlin can definitely do it, and we can even do it better." "Yes, just look at the development of Germany in recent years. You will know that the current German Empire has surpassed the United Kingdom economically. We It's a richer existence. If it weren't for the British using abnormal means to bribe, then we would have been the host country long ago, instead of what we are now."

Four cities have applied to host the fourth Olympic Games: Rome, Milan, Berlin and London. Berlin was forced to withdraw its application due to lack of government support. After a secret vote by the International Olympic Committee, the venue was chosen in Rome. The Italian economy suffered huge losses due to multiple earthquakes and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. During the 1906 Athens Olympic Games, Rome announced that it would give up the right to host the Games due to financial difficulties and its inability to build sports facilities. With time running out and the Olympics unable to be postponed, the International Olympic Committee turned to London for help.

In the end, Britain thought twice and agreed to hold the Games in London as scheduled, and immediately established an Olympic Games Preparatory Committee. Subsequently, the organizers of the competition quickly built a stadium in a jungle area in the West End of London that can accommodate more than 70,000 spectators, and built a new swimming pool 100 meters long and 15 meters wide, as well as a cycling track and so on.

"I don't know, how many people are there in this venue today?" Alfonso sat on the high podium, looked at the huge crowd below and asked Nicholas II, the King of Tsarist Russia sitting next to him. .

"I heard that there are nearly 80,000 people. King Edward VII is really awesome. Such a large venue can be built as soon as possible."

"Yeah, it's really spectacular." What's the matter? We in Spain can build it no matter how big it is! But that's just what I said in my heart. If I offend others like this, I'd better leave it to others. Thinking of this, he looked to the left past the center, because there was a master there who should have a different thought!

Alfonso guessed it right. Now William II is officially as if he has knocked over the five-flavor bottle. Originally, this side should appear in Berlin, but because he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, he only discovered it at this moment. This is such a mistake, especially for people who are sitting here like him. Just looking at him makes them feel sweaty and extremely stressed. You must know that these are kings or crown princes of more than 30 countries.

Needless to say, Edward VII, he is the King of the German Empire and French President Armand Fallier, Nicholas II of Russia, Alfonso XIII of the Spanish Empire, and Vittorio of the Kingdom of Italy. The King, Prince Mohammed of Ottoman Turkey, Crown Prince Adolf of Sweden, US Secretary of State Eliel Rutte, and dozens of other heads of small and medium-sized countries, plus contestants from all over the world, this is clearly a competition that can be promoted to the world. Holding a national feast. What a shame, missed this opportunity. No, I missed two opportunities. Thinking of this, his eyes turned to the right past Edward VII and Nicholas II and fell on Alfonso XIII. Did he have long thought that the Olympic Games would be as popular as it is now? Wouldn’t it be better to get bigger and attract more people’s attention? Otherwise, why would he directly promote Madrid to apply for the right to host the 1912 Olympic Games?

Alfonso felt that someone was watching him, and looked to the left sensitively. When he saw it was William II, he nodded to him with a kind smile, and the other party responded in the same way. The two people's flirting in the distance made people feel uncomfortable. Among them was Nicholas II. He has always done whatever he wants in Tsarist Russia, and no one can control him. This is the benefit of a dedicated leader. So he would directly say whatever he thought of, and this became a habit. There was no need for him to cover up the grievances between Tsarist Russia and the German Empire. Now seeing Alfonso XIII and William II so close, he felt very unhappy, and the consequences of his unhappiness were. . . ….

"I heard from people that there are many Jews in Spain now. I wonder what your Majesty's attitude towards the Jews is?"

"Oh?" Alfonso didn't doubt him, so he answered directly: "God treats everyone equally, so I don't have much objection to the Jews. I think..."

"But we do." Nicholas II interrupted Alfonso loudly, and because of the loudness of his voice, several people nearby looked over.

Nicholas II also realized that he was wrong just now, so his voice became smaller this time and said: "I remember that the first country in history to show anti-Semitism was Spain."

"Not bad" Alfonso said without objection.

"If that's the case, then isn't the current policy implemented by your country contradictory to the original policy?"

"But that's not the current Bourbon dynasty. It's the previous dynasty, the one we overthrew."

When Nicholas II heard this, he said, yes, the dynasty has been overthrown, why do people still need to abide by the rules of the previous dynasty. But he still didn't give up and asked:

"The Jews are the biggest beneficiaries of capitalism. If Spain continues to allow them to run rampant, I'm afraid they will save all your country's money like moths. Your people will be in a very poor situation. And they will get richer and richer. This is why we in Russia need to suppress them.”

"Thank you very much for your concern, but it is their right for Jews to make money. We have no right to ask others to make less. For us in Spain, as long as we come to Spain and continue to abide by Spanish laws, then we in Spain welcome People of any nationality make money. Whether they are doing business or immigrating to join our country, Spain."

"you..."

"Okay, the opening ceremony is about to begin. If your Majesty wants to see something more exciting, why not just calm down now?"

What the two of them didn't see was that the eyes of a maid beside them were getting brighter and brighter, and when she looked at Alfonso again, her eyes were full of admiration.

She is a Jew, and Britain is the most Jewish-friendly country in Europe, so Jews are not prohibited from participating in various Jewish activities in the UK. This time I happened to be assigned here to entertain Alfonso, so I heard these words. But more importantly, she is not an ordinary Jew. She is the daughter of a Jewish family. This time she came to volunteer with her classmates because she was bored in college. Moreover, she can also have a look at the world's leaders. Fortunately, her net worth was innocent and she was approved by the organizer as she wished. And because of her beauty, she was given a good position to entertain King Alfonso XIII of the world's great powers. Many girls in the past admired this young man, and she was no exception. When she was following the original drilled sequence step by step with excitement, she didn't expect that she, a Jew, would hear someone saying bad things about Jews. Just when she was impatient, Alfonso XIII's words were: She was so grateful to him. Her favorability skyrocketed in an instant, and she had secretly decided that after returning home, she would vigorously publicize what happened today, so that all the Jews in the world would know about the goodness of Alfonso XIII and Nicholas II's discrimination against the Jews.
