Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"What are you talking about? You're so frowning."

"Hi! Honey, why are you here?"

"Can't you come?"

“No, no, no, absolutely, okay?

"explain"

"say what"

"Well"

"Oh, haha, it turns out that this is what you asked, and it is not the question that all Americans are most concerned about right now."

"Spanish warships approaching Pearl Harbor?"

"Yes, Anna, as you know, I have always been very interested in political affairs."

"My dear, believe me, you can realize your dreams."

"I hope, by the way, you haven't said how you got here yet."

"He is not our uncle anymore. He is looking for you."

"Uncle, he's looking for me." The young man stood up immediately, but then sat back down. The excitement just now suddenly turned back to dullness. He glanced at Anna's beautiful face and saw her smiling there. While Fuyu looked at himself, Franklin felt embarrassed, but then he straightened his back generously and said: "Okay, Anna, I know I care too much. You know, my uncle has always remembered it. My father’s last words, it’s not like you didn’t know that our relationship was not good during this period.”

"Okay, I understand. It's okay. Let's go. Don't keep the President waiting. He finally came to Manhattan."

"Alas, I, Franklin Roosevelt, still don't know where my career will end up in my life. However, I do know one thing. I know that there is one thing that I need to pay the most attention to in my life, and that is Anna, your wife. With you, One life is enough.”

He is Franklin Roosevelt, Roosevelt is his surname, and the current President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, is his uncle.

His father, James Roosevelt, was an active figure in the diplomatic and business circles, and his mother, Sarah Delano, was a beautiful woman from an upper-class background and educated abroad. James is 26 years older than Sarah. After receiving the enlightenment education implemented by his mother, Roosevelt learned Latin, French, German, calligraphy, arithmetic and European history from his tutor. This is the effect of tutoring.

When Roosevelt was 5 years old, he followed his father to meet then-President Cleveland. The president once gave him a strange wish: "I pray God will never let you be the president of the United States." This is a very puzzling statement. He remembered this sentence deeply, so this sentence has always existed in his mind in the form of questions and curiosity. He was asking himself in his heart, what is wrong with being the president and why? Wish yourself that way. But what he didn't know was that this sentence had a great impact on his life, that is, the word "president" has always been with him.

In 1896, 16-year-old Roosevelt was sent to Groton School, which aimed at cultivating politicians, and began to adapt to the new environment. He is well-read, knowledgeable, well-mannered, and loves sports. He is good at tennis and golf, and likes horse riding and sailing. At that time, football was popular at Groton School, so he took the initiative to organize a cheerleading team and served as an administrator. He was good at debating and was a member of the "Debating Society". He had excellent grades at Groton School and gave the impression that he used people-pleasing methods to strengthen his position, so much so that Rexford Tugwell He believes that the way he handled difficult situations in Groton became a pattern for his behavior in similar situations later.

He has shown unusual intelligence since he was a child. So far, the most talked about thing about his deeds is his way of taking advantage of others.

After graduating from Groton School, he once wanted to attend the Annapolis Naval Academy and hoped to become a naval officer in the future. But his elderly father firmly opposed it. In 1900, at the age of 20, he entered Harvard University to study political science, history and journalism. This year, his 72-year-old father passed away, leaving behind a savings of US$120,000. His mother inherited an inheritance of US$1.3 million from his maternal grandfather. During his college days, Roosevelt was very keen on social activities and his academic performance was not outstanding. I have traveled to Europe several times and enjoy ball games. ….

At Harvard, he worked as an outstanding assistant for the school magazine "The Crimson Newspaper." He cleverly made use of the influence of his uncle Roosevelt. He asked his uncle Theodore Roosevelt, who was the governor of New York at the time, to give a lecture at Harvard, so the newspaper recruited him as an assistant. At this time, Roosevelt, as McKinley's partner, and Bryan, a Democrat, runs for president. He took the initiative to visit the principal, and Principal Elliott met with the first-year student. Roosevelt aggressively told the principal: "If your vote represents what you believe in, you should be willing to put your influence on the scale." Elliott answered his question. Not only did the Crimson publish Franklin's exclusive news, but other major newspapers in the United States also reprinted it. So when Roosevelt was about to graduate, he was promoted to editor-in-chief of the newspaper. To maintain his reputation, he spent another year as a graduate student at Harvard.

In 1904, Roosevelt entered Columbia University Law School. In March 1905, he married Anna Eleanor, the niece of his aunt, President Theodore Roosevelt. The president personally attended the wedding ceremony, making the wedding very grand, but Franklin found that most people came because of the president, which inspired his determination to enter politics. Last year, in 1907, he decided to graduate from law school and join a law firm as a lawyer. Until now, he is still serving as legal counsel for the "Anliang General Hall" established in New York by Situ Meitang, a famous overseas Chinese leader in the United States and the founder of the China Zhi Gong Party.

When I was a child, in the back garden of a manor, two men who were more than 20 years apart were enjoying the shade under the big tree there, with two cups of coffee and two glasses of red wine next to them.

"Say, if you are satisfied, I will no longer prevent you from joining the Navy." Theodore Roosevelt's face was full of exhaustion. From yesterday to now, there were only less than 48 hours, and he felt as if he had spent several years. The citizens' protests, a large number of negative reports in the media, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' emergency in South America, and the military's helplessness all combined now weighed on his shoulders. He who used to feel so powerful finally realized how uncomfortable it was to do nothing but try his best.

Of course he knew about his dream of owning the navy. He even knew it earlier than his eldest brother. Because Franklin had been close to him since he was a child, he also knew about it earlier than his eldest brother. He should have tried his best. It would be right to try our best to help him realize his dream of becoming a navy, but he did not do so because his eldest brother had clearly objected to not allowing Franklin to join the navy before he died. For him, his elder brother's words always lingered in his ears. So he stopped Franklin from going to the navy, and as a result, the relationship between the two became tense. If they hadn't happened to be in New York this time, I don't know how long it would have taken for them to meet.

However, the cold relationship over the years has also made him look away a lot, especially this time when Alfonso suppressed him too much. He didn't think of anything at the first moment, but thought of his own person who had been extremely smart since he was a child. He was even thinking about what the situation in the United States would be like now if the current owner of the White House was his nephew. This idea shocked her, and at the same time, he was extremely excited. If there is another president from the Roosevelt family, the status of the Roosevelt family in the United States will be supreme. By then, even if the time is up, the elder brother should have an explanation. Because of this, he directly stated this issue from the beginning this time, and at the same time, he directly ignored the unpleasant stubbornness between the two of them.

Franklin certainly felt like he had been hit by a pie now. Surprise was the adjective for his mood. However, he quickly calmed down because he knew that if he wanted to pass the test, he would still need to devote a lot of energy to deal with it. ….

"If I'm serious about generalizing, I think we should look at what's going on at its most basic level."

"Keep talking" Theodore looked at Franklin, and then said nothing.

"The relationship between Spain and the United States has always been tense and inexplicable. Of course, the original reason was naturally because our country's support for the independence of Latin American countries caused Spain to lose its colonies. However, especially former President McKinley formulated the idea The emergence of the plan to occupy Spain's overseas colonies completely started the deterioration of relations between the two countries. Needless to say, the domestic government of the United States naturally has Spanish people. This is not surprising. After all, the United States is a country of immigrants. I believe there will be many spies in the United States from various countries, so our plan was leaked, and the victim countries resisted. Britain and Spain, which was still relatively weak and unrecovered at the time, completed a world-famous colonial exchange, and we in the United States could only It was like a drill wasting the ideas and plans of a group of think tanks.”

After a brief sip, I realized that older red wines are different. I secretly sighed that the president's treatment was really not bad.

"As a result, the whole world knows that the United States wanted to expand, but Spain shrunk so fast that the United States wasted no time and only added to the joke. In this way, the United States once again increased its hateful weight in the hearts of the Spaniards. . Next, the two countries lived in peace for the sake of development. However, after these years of development, the United States has grown stronger, but Spain has recovered faster. The economy is not bad. With its population advantage, the United States is at least as strong as Spain. More than double. But militarily, Spain is now almost the same as the United States. Even because Alfonso XIII allowed Spanish soldiers to rotate defenses in many colonies, they have been baptized by war and are more capable than the American army. Actual combat experience will make you more capable of fighting. So, in this aspect, Your Excellency, now we are lagging behind the other party."

"Continue", Theodore Roosevelt kept silent and leaned on his chair as soon as he said these three words.

ps: First update, the Roosevelt family did have a great influence in the United States in the next few decades, especially when Roosevelt left office in 1909 and Franklin came up in 1910. This family had a huge influence in the United States. Power is still the same in the 21st century. Of course, the reason for writing so much in this book is not only because Roosevelt is now in charge of the United States, but also because Roosevelt is the factor that led the United States out of the Great Depression of 1929-1933, led the United States to win World War II, and was elected to four consecutive terms as president. Once again, , perhaps formally establishing a sharp-eyed American character to oppose or cooperate with Spain, and Franklin Roosevelt is a good candidate.

Not much else to say, please vote. The recommendation votes exceeded 10,000 the day before yesterday, which made me very happy. I also want to tell you some good news.
