Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Thanks to the most loyal believer in this book - the Chinese golfers for their support and rewards. Although the silver is small, the daily support of recommended votes and rewards makes me very heart-warming. Thank you, Mr. Footballer. !

As the current Secretary of State of the United States, Elihu Root feels very depressed now, because just yesterday, he continued to receive phone calls from Henry Ford, complaining that the accusations against Ford Motor Company this time were absolute. It is an unreasonable disaster. The government should control the media reports. There is also hope that the government will subsidize them.

However, how can Zhengfu be controlled? Domestic newspapers such as the New York Times, Chicago Times and Los Angeles Times are among the most influential major consortiums. In addition to looking at whether their reports violate the state's green light supervision, zhengfu It is impossible for fu to just ask them to change the reported news. What's more, this time Ford's time is still affected by Europe, and the reason why Ford is affected this time is also because of your own problems. , in this case, the media reports are also based on facts. Zhengfu obviously needs to welcome this, at least on the surface. If it is controlled, then after the people know, zhengfu's situation will definitely be very unbearable. Therefore, when Ford complained, Root could only give the other party some comfort with a wry smile.

"Mercedes-Benz was criticized, which ultimately caused serious injuries to Mercedes-Benz. They lowered their heads high and were reported by hundreds of media. The negative response was even more negative, which made Mercedes-Benz, which could have formed a strong contrast with Audi in Europe, fall back. Although this is temporary, it can be seen from this how huge the power of the media is. Those who are familiar with the inside story, like him, naturally know that most of these media are pro-Spanish, and such a piece of information spread through the upper echelons of the German Empire , that is, the Spanish government was the mastermind of this operation. In order for Audi and Mercedes-Benz in Spain to defeat Mercedes-Benz in the competition, the Spanish government acquiesced and supported this operation. As a result, Audi succeeded. , Horch succeeded, Spain succeeded... The top figures in various countries have also seen it. These seem to illustrate the power of the Spanish government among the media - there is nothing it cannot do, and it controls it, as if this There's nothing she can't do, especially in business competition.

The year before last, Spain's state-owned media conducted a medical inspection and supervision with the purpose of protecting consumer rights, and finally criticized the Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and the New York-based Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company for infringing on the interests of Spanish consumers. In the following two weeks, Spanish state media "organized a group" to launch rounds of attacks on the two companies, and many media in society also followed suit. , especially after the two most famous media outlets, Time and International Online, also joined the ranks. Under pressure, the two companies finally apologized in various media and agreed to make many guarantees to safeguard the interests of consumers. Therefore, the Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company in New York at the time even reported that shareholders thought they could not make any money and withdrew their capital.

Rutte and the leaders of other countries have clearly seen the power of Spain this time. Especially in this Mercedes-Benz incident, the power of Spain has been seen more clearly than a few years ago, and it is still going on. Expansion, a few years ago it was reported within Europe, especially in Spain, Portugal and overseas territories. Now, this Mercedes-Benz incident has been reported by media in Angola and Mozambique in South America and Africa, and even in various countries. Reports and quotes, what this shows is that Spain has controlled the direction of world media opinion.

On the surface, since state-owned media in various countries or private media under the control of various countries can criticize Spain for engaging in "economic nationalism," however, if these media do so, Spain can also criticize foreign brands for "discriminatory clauses." Moreover, the Spanish media reacted so quickly and powerfully that one can vaguely see the shadow of the Spanish government behind it. Spain is powerful enough to carry out such "turnarounds" in the world, and its ability to control the stock market is naturally not a problem.

From the perspective of Spain's development trajectory, it is not so much a macroeconomic barometer as it is a policy vane, so it is known as the "policy city". Currently, the Spanish stock market and the U.S. stock market are both in the so-called "emerging plus transition" stage. However, unlike the free stock market controlled by American giants, the Spanish government's flat and huge means have doomed the Spanish stock market and market intervention. The strategy will not stop in the future, and "strong government and strong market" will be the norm for Spain's future development.

Zhengfu is powerful, and when it "concentrates its strength to do big things", it naturally has an efficiency advantage. However, if the regulation is improper and the methods are low-level, the negative effects may be multiplied. Especially from the minimum industrial income salary and agricultural subsidies, Spain has realized this through its policies to benefit workers and farmers. .

Judging from past experience, the Spanish government tends to use "fund control power", such as the recent Peseta's external monetary expansion policy and the beginning of vigorous outward investment of funds, to achieve the purpose of regulating the stock market. Even the purpose of controlling the economies of other countries is what Rutte is most worried about now, because the United States used such a policy to carry out diplomacy, such as Argentina and Brazil in South America. The British were in Brazil to extract their wealth. resources, so it is not very popular, but American investment is taken seriously. Like Argentina, the impression of the United States in both countries is that it receives much better treatment than the United Kingdom.

And so, the United States is brewing. In the future, American diplomacy will be based on economics, politics, and military. This is how he and Eli Hurut plotted America’s foreign policy for the next several decades. However, now that he has seen Spain's policies, he hesitates a little, because it seems that these economic policies of the United States may be easily knocked down under the attack of such a big media in Spain, because they only need to If the most proud economic enterprises in the United States target their guns, then the brands that have been built with painstaking efforts over several years or even decades may easily fall, and the impression of the United States in the country where they are located may even be reversed. If you think about it, it seems that the United States' diplomacy will return to its original point, even worse than the static American diplomacy.

Elihu Root had been waiting for a long time, but still did not see the president. He turned back and glanced at the captain of the presidential guard who had just gone to report. He could not hold back and asked next time: "The president hasn't had his lunch break yet." stand up?"

“It usually takes another half hour”

"No, we can't wait as usual at this time. You go and report to him. Just say that I have something important to report to him."

"This, this is not appropriate." The captain hesitated. After all, G's lunch break habit has always been one of the president's favorite hobbies. If he disturbs the other party at this time, then this good fruit will definitely not be so delicious.

"Okay, go, let me explain it to him later. You might even be praised by him for this. After all, you were not trapped by formalism and helped us, the United States, seize the opportunity."

have to! This statement made the captain no longer able to hesitate. An American's timing let him know that the Secretary of State had put this big hat on his head. If he didn't do something that he thought was unflattering, then If there really is a dehumidifier that delays the opportunity, then the fault will be that it is because of him.

Watching the soldier captain Elihu Root go away, he felt a little comfortable despite being nervous.

"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, the President invites you to come in." It didn't take long for the captain to come back.

"Don't worry, I remember my promise. I am a person who keeps my promise." Then he walked to the conference room of the President's residence in anticipation of the captain.

"I have confirmed this matter through the diplomatic channels of our State Department. Spain is having secret meetings with other countries, but the specific content of the talks is unknown. However, according to the speculation of our State Department, it should be about Spain and The relationship between various countries, after all, judging from Russia's performance in recent days, perhaps it has something to do with Russia, which has a competitive relationship with Spain in Northern Europe."

"What impact does it have on us?" Theodore's first concern is the impact on the United States. This is the difference between him and Root, the Secretary of State. Root is in charge of diplomacy and puts more of his energy abroad. But from the perspective of Theodore, the president, he prefers to focus his energy at home. Of course, , that’s because of Root’s presence and her absolute trust in his diplomacy.

"Of course it will not harm our interests and influence if it is just an ordinary greeting, but if the other party is sending any signal, then it will be decided after the situation is settled. Earlier, there was news that we were in the UK and in France, it was said that it was possible Britain and Spain are concluding an alliance, so the German Empire and France are scrambling for Spain to join. Although this news comes a bit suddenly, it cannot be rejected. This is because Spain is adding pressure to Russia. After all, Russia has already Diplomatically, they put pressure on Britain and France in the hope of suppressing Spain's actions in Northern Europe. Now this news is coming out. If it is true, it may be a major counterattack by Spain against Russia. After all, although Spain is not as good as Russia in terms of army, It has strong military strength, but it is not small, and the navy is even stronger, and it has strong overseas strength. If such a country makes a choice compared with Russia, it is very likely that Britain and France will choose not to let Spain fall over. The German Empire chose to downplay it. Germany obviously saw this, so it was also stepping up its planning to meet with Spain.

Second update, if everyone can do a good job in recommending tickets and monthly tickets today, for example, if monthly tickets reach more than ten today or tomorrow, or if recommended tickets reach more than 500 tickets every day, there may be a third update tomorrow. Even if the conditions are met the day after tomorrow, it will be the day after tomorrow. If you work harder, it will be the day after tomorrow.

I also want to reveal a little bit, I will start to change my style tomorrow. Not only did everyone find it depressing, but I was also depressing when I wrote it, so I decided to change the style and write more of a war-like nature in this book, so that It becomes more active, hehe! I hope you all will continue to read. (To be continued.
