Restart Spain

After the approval of Queen Victoria, planning for the United States has basically become a foregone conclusion.

British Prime Minister Disraeli naturally started his visit to Spain and hurriedly boarded a cargo ship bound for the Spanish.

After a few days of sailing, I logged in from Bilbao and took the train all the way to the capital, Madrid.

Alfonso brought Prime Minister Canovas to greet him personally, as a way of expressing the importance he attaches to this cooperation. If he can really use the hands of the British to complete the restrictions on the Americans, whether on Cuba or on the next actions in Central and South America All good news.

"Dear Your Majesty Alfonso, I greet you on behalf of Queen Victoria."

Inside the Royal Palace of Madrid, Disraeli has officially started a meeting with the outside world.

"Say hello to Queen Victoria for me, please take a seat, Your Excellency Disraeli."

Alfonso stretched out his hand and motioned to sit down. As an old European grandmother, Victoria should give some respect.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this time I took the Queen's order and wanted to discuss with the Spaniards ways to restrict the Americans. Please, His Majesty Alfonso, let us share information."

Disraeli went straight to the point, he also needed to grasp the authenticity of the Spanish intelligence.

"Your Excellency Disraeli, of course there is no problem with intelligence sharing, and the two governments need to work together to finalize the plan."

"First of all, the Southern Democratic Party has been preparing for the attack for more than ten years this time. The strength they have secretly accumulated is already huge, and they are already very sure of the attack this time."

Alfonso told everyone what everyone knew, and then took a slow sip of tea. There are not many chances to see the British Prime Minister's face full of curiosity.

"First of all, according to the intelligence we have learned, because of the previous economic depression and serious government corruption, the Republican Party's approval rating has dropped significantly, and according to our secret survey, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party's support rate among the people is almost the same. "

A flat support rate is the most prone to conflict. Once someone plays small tricks, the balance will be broken.

"Our idea is to secretly buy off a small group of Democrats and Republicans to cause conflicts."

"If the popular vote between the two parties is inexorable, then we need this small group of people to come out and refute, in order to escalate the conflict."

The popular vote of the two sides in the original time and space is that the Democratic Party is 3 points higher than the Republican Party, but it is indeed the electoral vote that really determines the presidency.

The U.S. Congress established a 15-member election committee to decide the final winner, with seven Democrats and seven Republicans each, and one neutral Davis.

But it is such a person with such an extremely important position, who announced the launch before the election, ceding his position to the Republicans.

Davis' withdrawal means that he doesn't want to get involved in trouble, but it is unknown whether he has accepted the interests of the Republicans.

"Your Excellency Disraeli, we can guarantee that the popular vote will be dominated by the Democrats, and we need to let the people we bribe do something disgraceful in the electoral votes to ensure that the Republicans win."

"Only by angering the Democrats in this way will the people we planted in the Democratic Party have the opportunity to use their hands and feet to contact the military and take the lead in launching an offensive against the North."

Alfonso's statement seems very good, but in fact, there are so many variables in it that he can't even count them. Whether it is the popular vote or the electoral vote, they are full of uncertain variables.

"Your Majesty Alfonso, with all due respect, I don't think your method is very feasible."

Disraeli almost didn't utter foul language. In the end, it seemed to him that it was all whimsical. Except for the fact that the north and the south were evenly matched, the rest seemed to be a serious illness.

"Your Excellency Disraeli, in fact, we can all see that the popular vote is evenly matched, and we are confident that what I'm talking about will actually happen to him."

"Let's do it this way. If you are worried that Spain is just talking empty words, then we can do all the control in the early stage. We only need the British to work with us to provide support to the south during the war. What do you think?"

With so many events in the election, if Alfonso, who is familiar with history, had not seen it from later generations, no one would have believed that there would be so many changes.

The cost of buying officials in the early stage was only a drop in the bucket. The real cost was the aid to the South after the war. This is where the support of the British was really needed.

"Your Majesty Alfonso, if it is as you said, then we will enter the field after seeing the manipulative nature, and now there is no way for me to believe what you are saying, I hope you can understand me. Difficulty."

Disraeli's words are right. As the actual leader of the British Empire, he needs to be responsible for everyone in the UK, and it is impossible to invest in a plan that sounds like a fantasy.

"Of course I understand your difficulties, Your Excellency Disraeli, we can wait until your country sees hope in this plan and enter the field. The only thing we want is the affirmation that if a civil war does break out in the United States, your country can provide assistance. ."

Alphonse looked at Disraeli calmly, but he didn't want to see the British intervening from the beginning, which might cause some unnecessary changes.

"I can give you this affirmation. I hope your plan can really be as you said."

Disraeli sighed. If a war really broke out, the British would, of course, get involved, but now the Spaniard's plan made him think it was just empty talk, and even gave him the idea of ​​running for nothing.

After traveling all the way to the European continent, he was told a plan that he thought was almost impossible, but Spain's confident attitude made him unable to make up his mind, so he could only sigh softly.

From the bottom of his heart, he thought that the Spaniards would not take such a long time to trick him, but this result must not convince the queen or the officials in the parliament.

In short, this time it was a waste of time.

......

After Disraeli left, Alphonse sat down and looked at Canovas, who had not spoken.

In fact, Canovas didn't believe that things could really develop so smoothly, but Alphonse had always made the right decision, so he had to keep silent.

"Your Majesty, what do we need to do?"

"Continue to observe and estimate the election situation in the United States, ensure that the support ratings of the two sides are balanced, and select some people who can be bought and controlled. We only need to complete the fatal blow at the end.",

The role of these people is to become the fuse of the civil war.

In the United States in 1877, the soldiers had already picked up their guns and were ready to start the Second Civil War. The Republican compromise was avoided, but what if the Confederate army was directed to attack directly?

Alphonse believes that the Republican Party will not continue to compromise under such circumstances.

This time, the states that support the Democratic Party of the South are almost on a par with the North. If a civil war does break out, the scale will only be larger.
