Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Look, you pushed them too hard?" After Alfonso saw this newspaper in the Spanish Royal Palace, he immediately summoned Foreign Minister Trini to inquire about relevant matters, but his tone was not very good at first. .

Trini feels that he is really unjust. You told us to be tougher when facing the British and not to lose our position. Now this is not the consequence of your connivance, but he is not Dare to speak out.

Alfonso wasn't really blaming the other person, he was just angry. No one else would feel better after hearing those comments about him.

"Tell me the specific situation! Your bad moves will have sequelae every time."

Trini smiled bitterly, after working for so long, he actually got a bad move. Come on, a bad move is a bad move, as long as it can be used, then he told the whole story about the negotiations between the two countries.

Alfonso pondered for a moment, and then said: "So, the British insist on asking us or the Ottomans to give in?"

"That's how it should be," Trini replied.

"Then do you think Ottoman Turkey will agree?" After asking this question, Alfonso had the urge to slap himself in the face. I wonder which country is willing to give up its own land to resettle other people, and to resettle them for a lifetime? Yes, although this country belonged to these people before, who would care about what happened hundreds or thousands of years ago? What's more, it is very obvious that there is no way to return it after it is given away. Who would be so generous? Their king, Mohammed V, would not agree with their royal family and people.

"Of course I don't agree," Trini affirmed. Seeing Alfonso looking like he was waiting to hear your explanation, he felt the helplessness of being a subordinate. Of course, he would never have the following thoughts. , as a person with the spirit of chivalry, he has always been most proud of his loyalty to the people.

"Needless to say about other territorial issues, the current Ottoman Turkish Empire is no longer the country that stretched across the Mediterranean coast. Now it has been called the sick man of Europe by Europeans. Now they even have the most basic gunpowder provided by European countries. To provide, even many of their armies are commanded by the Empire and Germans. It is not to underestimate them. The reason why they can still maintain this large territory there is that the most important factor is because of the European continent. The major powers here have survived by fighting with each other. If the debate among the major powers in Europe stops one day, they will not be far from being carved up."

Alfonso felt a little emotional after hearing this, the Ottoman Empire! This is such a powerful country. It has maintained its status as a powerful country in Europe and Asia for more than five hundred years. It is such a powerful country, but now it has become a grasshopper in the autumn, and is in danger of being killed at any time. He couldn't help but think of Churchill's words in later generations: Europe has been waiting for the death of the Ottoman Empire, but year after year, this empire is unwilling to die, and its weak hands still hold on to the key to the huge family fortune."

In fact, the last time he had a conversation with Prince Mohammed of Ottoman Turkey, although he felt that the other party was very sincere and that it was profitable, how could the other party's eagerness be concealed from him, but he still agreed, but proposed The condition is to open the experimental site of the free trade zone. The other party said that it is considering it. However, after these few months, the other party is still hesitant. This is really worrying those people in the country. Even Alfonso feels a little uncomfortable. He was patient, but he still tried to give the other party more time, because in his opinion, as long as he opened his circle of interests there, no matter how the final situation evolved, as long as Spain remained standing, no matter how strong Britain was, It will also take care that Spain's interests there are not harmed. In this case, why not start to circle the interest points now, so this is why he is waiting so patiently, but there is still no result.

"Try to put more pressure on the other party. Well, taking this incident as an opportunity, didn't the British put pressure on us? Then why don't we regard it as an opportunity? I think as long as our pressure, coupled with the If there is overt pressure from Britain, Tsarist Russia and France, Muhammad V will definitely not be able to hold on. After all, each faction in their country has their own interests. They will never sit back and watch the king offend all the powerful countries. His own interests were harmed and he ignored it.”

Alfonso was right. Now Mohammed V Rashad is worried about this matter. Next to him is his younger brother, Prince Vassidedin of the Ottoman Turkish Empire (Sorry, I used Muhammad before. That was wrong. I have corrected it now. Please forgive me). The two are discussing whether Ottoman Turkey agrees with Spain. The suggestions were discussed hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible." Vasidedin looked at Rashad's silence. He knew that if he didn't interrupt the other person's thinking, this matter would continue endlessly.

"How can you see it?" Muhammad V looked at his brother, and he felt at a loss. After these years, he personally commanded countless wars, especially the battles with Tsarist Russia and non-Muslims, which made it so peaceful. The powerful Ottoman Empire has now become half-dead. More importantly, he now finds that looking around, almost all countries are more or less hostile and wary of the Ottoman Empire. It can be said that he feels that he is ashamed of the prophets of Islam, who brought all this to this beautiful and powerful country.

Although Wasiddin is also an Islamist, he is more sober than Rashad. Therefore, he initially stopped Rashad's ethnic hostility, but in the end he still could not stop the majority of the people in the government. Agree, so he could only watch helplessly as the Ottoman Empire slipped into its current situation.

However, it's not too late now.

"Your Majesty, I think the proposals put forward by Spain and Italy are good. We can jointly provide each other with necessary port subsidies in the Red Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, Somalia and other waters. This will help us promote ourselves to the outside world, and we and them. The relationship between great powers can effectively make Britain, France and Russia have scruples about us, instead of using damn coercion like now. God, I really can’t imagine that our Ottoman Turkish Empire has become what it is now. If anyone wants, they can cut a piece of meat from us and share it with us. How could we have reached this point?" Seeing Rashad's clenched hand, Vasidedin knew that he was already excited. It aroused the dissatisfaction in the other party's heart, and all he needed was to add fuel to the fire.

"Since Spain and Italy are willing to be friendly with us, no matter what their purpose is, their request is not too much for us. After all, the other party also extended their hand on the same conditions. Although it was a colony at that time, we were in The land to the west of the Persian Gulf is not very fertile, and it is far away from our homeland. The British have long been eyeing it, especially Qatar. It is said that the British have appeared there from time to time during this period. If there are warships from the two countries, I think the British should restrain themselves."

"But who can guarantee that the Spaniards and Italians will not cooperate with the British there because of their compromise with the British?" Mohammed V Rashad asked again.

"But, Your Majesty," Prince Vasidedin said with a helpless smile, "Do we have any other good choices?"
