Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"No, it's Edward VII, Your Majesty." Theobaden also sighed. A few days ago, Fairy Japan was an ally of Britain, but Fairy Japan suddenly became a strategic partnership with the German Empire. Although the relationship between Britain and Japan On the surface, not much has changed, but from Asquith's condemnation of Japan, we can know that the British people are definitely angry about Japan's behavior now, whether they are doves or hawks.

"After all, this time for the United Kingdom, although the territory belongs to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom is even worse. It loses its reputation. This time, the three major countries in Asia and Europe put pressure on the Netherlands. I think everyone in the world with a little bit of political awareness knows this. What's going on? I wonder, can we use this as an opportunity to break down the issue of Britain's position in Asia?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to encounter the opposition of Edward VII, or in other words, the disapproval of Edward VII, "This is very difficult. Needless to say, the Japanese, the typical rabbit without meat, will not come." Sa Ying, this time we need our cooperation only if we have a sure chance of winning, and this is done with the secret support of Spain, the most powerful country in the Pacific. Otherwise, how could they be so They acted quickly. You must know that Britain has always been the largest source of their navy and payment for goods. They will definitely be afraid of Britain's attitude. At this point, they just want to have a foothold in Southeast Asia."

"No, Your Majesty, I think they have another purpose."

"Oh? Another purpose?" Edward VII couldn't help but look at Tirpitz. Since his most evil assistant said this, he would definitely have his thoughts. [

Tirpitz said: "I think the reason why the Japanese government did this, in addition to what we said, is that their purpose is to test."

Seeing the doubts of Edward VII and Theobaden, Tirpitz further said: "This is a trial and error. I have read many Japanese reports, especially after the naval battles in the Sino-Japanese War of 1888 and the Russo-Japanese War. Naval sneak attacks during the war, etc. These all show that Japan is a very cunning country. What is even more awe-inspiring is that they also have a ruthless spirit. After identifying the target, they will use any means to achieve the goal. So we saw the scene of Japan wooing countries from outside the region to occupy Tianjin and Beijing during the Eight-Nation Alliance. Naturally, their purpose was not only to develop resources, but also to prepare for Japan's future rise in Asia. It is obvious that they The goal was achieved. After the Eight-Nation Alliance, China became even more chaotic within the country, while Japan obtained a large amount of resources to expand its army, develop its economy and industry, and the previous Sino-Japanese War of 1884-1894 had the same purpose. In order to bring China's newly developed Industrial countries have severely suppressed the momentum so as not to threaten them.

This time Japan’s test is mainly aimed at many aspects.”

"?"

"The first one is naturally the United Kingdom. As Japan's ally in East Asia to counter Russia's march south, Japan can be said to have obtained a lot of benefits from the United Kingdom for this. Therefore, the occupation of Dutch land this time is actually to see the tolerance of the United Kingdom. How big it is, so it can be used as a reference for similar actions in the future.

Japan's second update target should be Spain. Needless to say, there is no need to doubt that Spain's current strength in the Far East is definitely among the top. Even the three home countries of the United States, Japan and Russia are not as strong as the United States. Not as good as Spain's navy there. Especially in the South Pacific and Western Pacific where there are many islands. Therefore, this time Japan is testing Spain's attitude towards supporting Japan, and also wants to see Spain's status in Europe. Thinking about it, Spain should not disappoint it now.

Then there is our German Empire. Our tough attitude should also make them very interested. However, I think it is just like stealing and robbery. After doing it, the Japanese will definitely rest for a while with the caution of the Japanese. So, if we If we rely on them to develop and expand our existence, we will most likely be disappointed. "

"You mean, we should suspend expansion?" William II looked at Tirpitz deeply, with an inexplicable flicker.

"Yes, I think it should be like this." Tirpitz avoided looking at William II and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Okay, let's do this. The land we occupied will naturally not be returned, so there is no need to discuss Sulawesi with them. It can serve as a bridgehead for our westward-looking strategy and can monitor the British and The activities of France, Spain and other countries there, coupled with the connection of the three locations of the Western Peninsula of New Guinea and the Marshall Islands, plus the Shandong Peninsula in our sphere of influence in China, I think, in addition to Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States, , it is our largest military strength in the Pacific region. Therefore, the Navy needs to continue to increase its construction and strive to match the pace of the Army, rather than being a dwarf with long and short legs."

Tirpitz naturally agreed to everything William II said.

"And the government should also increase its efforts in economic development. Although our development has been relatively rapid in recent years, the whole world has seen that compared to ten years ago, the German Empire has lost its status as the fastest-growing economy in Europe. Given to Spain, I think this is a very disappointing thing. Since the establishment of the German Empire, although the navy has been suppressed by the British, the army is our world. However, you have also seen that now Spain has begun to establish We have developed a powerful aerial aircraft, and when we actually saw the appearance of such an aircraft in Spain, there was no relevant case filed. It has to be said that our development in the past ten years has begun to stop the progress we are proud of and strive to be first. spirit." Seeing Theobart's hesitant look, knowing that this guy wanted to explain, he turned to look at Tirpitz next to him, only to find that his old god was actually there, and he was furious. Situ Obaden said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, although I know you think I am shirking my responsibilities and my explanation is not to mention interesting things, but I still want to say that we are lagging behind Spain in many policies, especially in In terms of all kinds of strange organizations, we are far behind in keeping up with them." Teobaden said with admiration: "Just like the International Women's Organization, Spain has already established itself in various internationally influential organizations. Our organization has been recognized by many countries around the world, and our fundamental method is compared with them.”

Hearing Theobaden's words, William II suddenly became angry. He thought about the last Mercedes-Benz incident and the power of Spanish newspapers and media in the world. He was surprised when he thought about it. So he couldn't wait to ask: "By the way, how is our media, and how is the harvest?"

Both Theobart and Tirpitz saw each other's intentions. Theobaden smiled bitterly and said: "It has little effect."

"How could this happen?" William II exclaimed with disbelief.

"We don't want to believe it either, but this is the fact." His Majesty still looked unconvinced. Therefore, he could only seriously tell William II about their efforts and the results of little success.

Originally, when William II saw Spain fighting against Mercedes-Benz and favoring Audi cars, William II immediately saw the power of newspapers, so he thought about what if the German Empire also obtained such a powerful propaganda weapon. If so, the consequences would definitely be extraordinary. Just look at the example Spain gave them with Mercedes-Benz this time. So in order for the German Empire to gain the same public opinion strength, the German Empire began to produce media newspapers. In the world Countries around the world began to establish the distribution of "Deutsche Welle". However, various countries did begin to boycott these "Deutsche Welle" publications in the German Empire. The reason was very simple. That was because during the establishment process of "Deutsche Welle", it was not subject to the influence of the local countries. Support, even if it is support, the newspapers in those places at that time had already been wiped out by newspapers from various countries or Spanish newspapers, and what was left was just used by those who were doing things to pass the time. . This is the first one, and the host country does not support it very much.

The second article is that Spanish newspapers already have a very large influence in the world, and under the leadership of "Time" magazine, which is known as one of the most impartial newspapers in the world, they opened the Spanish media of the country's national team. are reassured because they believe that Spanish media and newspapers are "the most fair and unbiased", so Spanish media in New India are increasing, [

Third, and most importantly, the German Empire was not inherently a rival to Spain in terms of language, because Spanish can now compete with the UK in the world, and even French is far less applicable than Spanish. The scope was large, and as a European colony with a relatively young history, the German Empire had inherent disadvantages in terms of population and scope in terms of newspaper reading. In this way, if the German Empire wants to develop and make achievements in this area, it will definitely take a very long time to invest, instead of trying to pick the fruits so quickly after it was founded, as it is now. You must know that Spain's ambition to establish a newspaper industry began more than ten years ago. At that time, "Time" magazine was just an ordinary second-rate newspaper in Madrid. Therefore, it takes more time to accumulate stable readers of the German imperial media in the world.

"So, if we want to reach the level of Spain, it will take at least ten years," William II said with some dissatisfaction.

"No, I don't think we will be able to achieve the same strength as Spain in more than ten years." Seeing William II's increasingly darker face, Theobaden felt a wry smile in his heart, "Because while we are developing, If Spain wins the media, it will definitely consolidate their readers and even expand their scope."

Thinking of this, William II really felt that he had no choice. Suddenly, he thought of another Spanish weapon that could be shot. Especially when these weapons still revealed their power to the world, he knew today. So I couldn't help but become concerned about this. Even more than before, this made him feel more worried now.
