The Sun Never Sets In Spain

After signing up for the past month, the conclusion is that there are at least 11,000 people in the slums. This is not to say that some people are very suspicious. They are afraid that the free distribution of houses is a trap decision given by the government.

Among these people, only more than 2,000 are married. After all, Madrid has not carried out a large-scale promotion of agricultural tools, and there are fewer unemployed farmers.

Most of the people who come to work in the city are actively seeking change, and naturally most of them are young and strong guys.

It is a pity that life has given them a heavy blow. They may work better in the fields. The life in the factory is as bitter as the life of the peasants, but there is a risk of premature death.

Calculating based on this population structure and reserving some vacant rooms, about 4,000 dormitories have to be built.

It looks like a lot. In fact, it is almost the same as the number of dormitories in a university. It is only limited by construction technology and cost. The dormitory building is relatively short, with only two floors.

The slums must have built their houses as close as possible to their working areas. It is not easy to change them forcibly. Alfonso built 6 dormitories in various directions around Madrid according to the distribution of the original slums.

The large-scale construction has made people in the city quite criticized, thinking that it is a waste of money to build free houses for those hillbillies, beggars and thieves.

It is a pity that this money is privately funded by the king, and it has nothing to do with them.

Since the dormitory only has the right of residence and no ownership, few people pretend to be poor to divide the house, avoiding more troubles.

Several construction sites started at the same time, and many people from the slums were hired on their own construction sites to build houses for themselves. They were very active.

According to the current schedule, the first phase of construction can be completed in 4 months.

On the other side, the slum reconstruction is underway. On the other side, the first counter-insurgency forces have arrived in Cuba one after another, the number is 17,000, and more troops are still behind them.

In fact, it cannot be said to be the first batch. Prior to this, the free government had successively sent troops to Cuba, but it was trapped by the terrible economy and domestic chaotic politics, and its efforts were not strong.

There are more than 4,000 people together. Even if you count the original colonial army, you can only support it in front of the rebels. If it weren't for the rebels' initial creation and severe internal divisions, the Republic of Cuba would have long been the capital of Havana.

The domestic deployment of troops to counter the rebellion undoubtedly gave the Cuban colonial government an injection. Cuban Governor Hernand de Soto sent his deputy Miguel to wait in the port early.

The officer who took the lead on the Cuban soil was the commander of the 2nd Division Asania who won the Battle of Lleida, but he is now leading not the maimed 2nd Division, but the re-formed 2nd Army. .

After the peace in Spain, in order to facilitate management, the government cancelled the division-level organization, and the brigade was under the army.

The second division almost doubled logically, changing from a division level to a military level.

However, the officers who were loyal to the free government were either withdrawn or surrendered, and the personnel were in short supply. Assania had the credit, so he successfully jumped from the division commander to the army commander. According to the Spanish military system, it was considered to be three consecutive jumps.

The Second Army is fully staffed with 30,000 people, but Spain is now implementing the Prudence service system throughout the country. The theoretical 30,000 people are only 17,000 in fact, which is not much different from the fact that he brought a division in the first place.

But this is enough for him to be proud.

In particular, he successfully allowed the Second Army to join Cuba’s counter-insurgency sequence this time, and joined the Fifth Army in a fully organized state to fight against the new Cuban Republic.

It can be regarded as the special care of Garcia and Campos. There are good things that they naturally prefer the elderly in Catalonia.

Going to Cuba to counter the rebellion is even a rare good thing in the army. In frontal combat, the Spanish army will add up to nearly 70,000 people, 70,000 regular troops. There is absolutely no possibility of losing.

Who doesn't love a war that is inevitable and meaningful.

So Assania smiled at the approaching Miguel, and he needed the support of these people in the future to make military exploits.

Under the enthusiasm of Miguel, Assania and the soldiers of the Second Legion enjoyed the hospitality of the Cuban government.

They are not in a hurry, nor can they come. The commander-in-chief this time is Fifth Army Commander Rajoy, who cannot fight without his orders.

Moreover, the army that has been wandering at sea for more than a month really needs to adapt to the new environment.

So they rested like this until a week later, until the arrival of the Fifth Army.

After Rajoy came to Cuba, he ordered the army to repair for another week. He and Assania were tacitly aware. Anyway, a longer time will have no effect on them. More repairs and repairs will reduce the death of one soldier.

Had it not been for the governor of Cuba to visit every day, urging them to hurry up, and the words implying that the colonial government could not afford to eat so many people, they would have to wait another week.

In the war room, Rajoy spread out the long and narrow map of Cuba and showed Assania the red-painted part of it.

"Guantanamo, Santiago, Holguin, Las Tunas, and most of Camaguey Province have all fallen. Now the two sides are facing off in Camaguey Province, and the rebels have no tendency to move westward for the time being."

It can be seen that the eastern part of Cuba is red, accounting for about 1/3 of the entire area of ​​Cuba, which looks shocking.

Asania nodded, he knew these things a long time ago.

Rajoy continued: "The total strength of the rebels is more than 40,000, but the occupied areas are very supportive of them. If necessary, they can draw out a lot of troops, and the domestic requirement of us is not to excessively arouse national hatred. ."

The slogans of the Republic of Cuba are freedom, equality and independence, which has bought many people's hearts.

In history, the entire Cuba has a total of 1.5 million people, but from 1868 to the end of 1878, 200,000 civilians died in the War of Independence, which shows the strength of its support.

Although the rebels were eventually crushed by Spain, the brutal suppression also paved the way for a second larger rebellion and gave the Americans a chance to intervene.

Assania understood what Rajoy meant: "So you want to divide a group, let them civil strife first, and don't evolve into a national war."

They are familiar with this. Catalonia fights the free government, if it weren't for a split, it's not so easy to fight.

And like the free government, as a colony of Spain for centuries, Cuba has never lacked supporters of the Spanish king, even if the opponent is far away in Madrid.

"No." Rajoy shook his head:

"After all, it is strictly speaking of two nations, and it is unrealistic to expect them to have a civil war in this situation.

Since they do not have a navy, my idea is to pretend to attack and land operations, not to give them a chance to fight guerrillas and bring people to death.

During the war, you can get in touch with the Guardian faction. The Guardian faction's aspiration is to increase the degree of Cuban autonomy and get benefits from us.

The rebellion is nothing but a bargaining power for them, which is why they prevent the westward advance.

Quickly defeat the insurgent’s army, and let the Baowang faction realize that their “weight” will depreciate if they continue to defeat it. This can force them to return to the negotiating table and turn the national war into a war of interests. "
