The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Although the remnants of the Republicans, Carlos, and government forces still exist on Spanish soil, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the restoration of Bourbon is unstoppable.

This result was far beyond the expectations of all parties. I thought it would last for several months. Unexpectedly, under the internal turmoil and Diego’s backwaters, the government forces would not hold on for a week.

He took three and sent a congratulatory message. Since the civil war hadn't really ended, he didn't mention the return of the Blue Army, which greatly enriched Catalonia's troops.

The military department is already considering whether to lift the mobilization order.

But the cancellation will have to wait until Madrid, so Catalonia still maintains a force of 80,000 people. This 80,000 army rushes directly to Madrid, scaring Francisco to heartbreak.

He hurried to write a letter asking Alfonso to let him go. He was willing to peacefully hand over the area controlled by the free government. At the end of the letter, he did not forget to remind Andalusia that there were still 30,000 people under his orders. The free government also had Spain. The whole navy.

"Your Majesty, Francisco's offer is not excessive... He just wants to keep part of his property abroad and let us publicly promise to pardon him." Campos said, obviously more inclined to accept the other party's conditions.

The government army’s tens of thousands of ground forces are insignificant, but if Francisco jumps over the wall and sinks the ship, the problem will be big. Spain is a colonial empire and can’t live without a navy.

Alfonso understood what Campos meant, and he smiled contemptuously: "Did Francisco personally take the bomb to blow up the ship?

It is estimated that even the police dogs of the liberal government want to resign, let alone let the navy blow up their own jobs, relax, and nothing will happen.

Francisco must never let it go. There must be a culprit in this war. Primm has to take refuge in us, so he can only be killed. "

"Um. But..." Campos hesitated, and said, "As long as he wants to leave, it will be difficult for us to catch him. Both Italy and the United States may provide asylum."

"It's okay, just show your attitude. As long as you don't have any negotiation, Francisco will not dare to defend the city." Alfonso said firmly.

What happened later was as expected. Seeing Catalonia's tough attitude, Francisco ran away, and there was a risk of being surrounded and caught if he didn't run.

The Prime Minister ran away, and the others naturally had no reason to fight. Catalonia easily won the capital with no more than 20 casualties.

Then came the link that was determined by the transmission. The southern government forces were still loyal, but without the leader of the dragons, they were forced to lay down their weapons and surrender.

Needless to say, the northern government army and Fernando's department, let alone a letter to the past, directly ordered the troops to report to Madrid.

The only ones still resisting are the Carlos faction and the Republican faction. Even though the ideas of the two factions are very conflicting, due to the form, they still merged and now they are fighting guerrilla together in the mountains and forests of the north.

Ruben temporarily acted as Carlos's deputy, and the two sides agreed to lay down Spain and designate the northeastern region as the Republican Autonomous Region, letting the Republicans manage themselves.

It is a pity that their blueprints are destined to be useless. 40,000 Catalan troops and 20,000 French troops are already rushing there, and Ruben is in harmony with the outside, and it will not take long to destroy them.

On November 15th, witnessed by nearly 100,000 troops and envoys from various countries, Alfonso announced the successful end of the Francisco Rebellion, which had lasted for more than a year, and ended in the victory of Orthodox Bourbon.

Of course there are still Carlos bandits in the north, but that was another rebellion, one yard one yard.

It is worth mentioning that Francesco and Italy fell out and ran to the United States by boat through Portugal. Alfonso rejected Adolf's proposal to send someone to assassinate, but silently remembered the matter in his heart.

On the 16th, the capital of the Kingdom of Spain moved back to Madrid from Barcelona and began a long post-war reconstruction.

The first step is naturally to disband the army. Counting the surrendered army, even if part of it is retired, the Spanish army currently has as many as 200,000. This is a bit huge for Spain, which has no land enemy.

Of course, a considerable part must be retained. According to the plan of the military department, first of all, tens of thousands of people will be needed on the border of France.

Then there are the colonies. Needless to say, a few small colonies in the Moroccan region, just put a few thousand people. The Kingdom of Morocco is quite divided, and the defense is good, the offensive is not organized at all, let alone they dare not scratch the Spanish tiger's beard.

Spain has two important colonies, Cuba and the Philippines. Among them, there are no large-scale rebellions in the Philippines, and small-scale rebellions continue, requiring 10,000 to 20,000 people.

As for another colony, Cuba, the current situation is very bad.

The fight for independence was only started last year under the influence of Prim’s rebellion, and many victories have been won this year, and the Republic of Cuba was established 7 months ago.

It is not the main thing to lose some territory temporarily. If it spreads the national consciousness, or if too many people die so that Cuba hates Spain, it will be very detrimental to future rule and must be extinguished with thunder! In order to achieve this goal, the military plans to send 50,000 troops!

You know that Cuba has a total population of 1.5 million, and 50,000 is a very wealthy figure.

In addition, some troops must be stationed in various regions of Spain to maintain stability, which will cost tens of thousands of people.

As for the Roman garrison, the two sides have not yet negotiated. It is estimated that the Carlos War should be over by then, and the northern army can be transferred directly.

After zero zero finally came down, about 170,000 troops still need to be retained, which is just enough to lift the mobilization order and let the Catalan reserves go home.

However, at Alfonso's request, the military department had no choice but to reduce the number of troops stationed in various places and on the border with West France. Not counting the 20,000 French volunteers, the total number of the army was set to 140,000.

For no other reason, Spain has no money!

Since the war has been fought, the money for ransacking the house and Queen Isabella has long been used up, and Catalonia has even issued some additional war bonds, and it is now time to repay them.
