Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Spain has decided to help the Ottoman Empire ensure food supply, and Spain will conduct military sales to the Ottoman Empire at the same level as Spain's South American allies. At the same time, in order to improve the operations between various government departments of the Ottoman Empire, The Ottoman Empire will look forward to its needs and can hire Spanish government advisors and economic experts. In addition, Spain will provide a huge loan of 50 million pesetas.

In return, the Ottoman Empire agreed to Spain's request, and Spain and the Ottoman Empire established a cooperative enterprise. The two countries would build railways and roads within the Ottoman Empire. At the same time, as a condition for agreeing to receive Spain's second-level ally weapons procurement treatment, the Ottoman Empire agreed that the Spanish navy could dock at the Haifa port in the Eastern Mediterranean. "

This was the final outcome between Spain and the Ottoman Empire.

Alfonso XIII was quite satisfied with the Ottoman Empire's attitude this time. After all, seriously speaking, Alfonso already had a lot of plans in mind for the Ottoman Empire.

Thinking of this, Alfonso frowned when he looked at the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the telegram.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire is definitely a more important country in Alfonso's eyes. This country is located in Central and Eastern Europe. The strategic significance of this location is very important. It can be said that it belongs to the cross of Europe. In such an area, whether it is east, west, north or south, it will have a certain degree of influence, so this is why we paid so much attention to him before, and this also contributed to the result of getting closer to each other step by step over the years.

"The attitude of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was a bit excessive."

More than a little too much. It's just a bit unclear. Omer murmured in his heart.

In fact, Omer still feels that Janos is a good person to deal with. However, if he is in their camp, then it will not be the same thing. Based on this meeting For example, although the other party is the Prime Minister of Hungary, to put it more broadly, in addition to Joseph I and Archduke Ferdinand of the central government. Only Heinrich, the Prime Minister of Austria, could compare with him. But from this conversation, he felt that the other party was still very communicative, and he also conducted the conversation in an orderly manner, which can be seen from this. The other party is planning and then moving. A steady man. It is very interesting to play or interact with such people politically.

"Heinrich was actually not bad, but Archduke Ferdinand was eager to achieve success. And to a certain extent, he was a little overjoyed to achieve success. For a political figure, he often has many weaknesses that are vulnerable to attack. As a result, The final outcome will be a little unpleasant.”

Alfonso's whole body was shocked, and he was full of surprise when he looked at Omer. Fortunately, Omer did not raise his head at this time, so he did not see Alfonso's eyes.

yes! In the end, Ferdinand was so happy that after Bosnia and Herzegovina (i.e. Bosnia and Herzegovina) officially fell into his hands in 1912, he finally went on another show-off trip in 1914 and was assassinated in Sarajevo, which finally contributed to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The country's crazy counterattack triggered the outbreak of World War I. Alfonso knew this because he knew history. However, Omar did not understand this, but guessed this. This made Alfonso a little surprised at the other party's guessing and extension ability.

"However, Joseph I originally liked to hold on to the glory of the past. Although he has accepted many realities over the years, Austria in history is still an existence that the whole of Europe looks up to, and he still lives in the past. I can't help myself. Janos is a good politician. Compared with Heinrich, he is much happier. After all, seriously speaking, being an errand in Budapest is much better than being an errand in Vienna.

A person who works as a companion next to the palace will always be much more careful than a prince who is far away. Of course, this also has the ability to overwhelm the surrounding heroes, and Heinrich is in Vienna, so Sometimes I have to be restricted by the two arrogant men in the palace, so sometimes I can't use my fists, and even more, in some things, I am not as liberal as Janos. "

Omer nodded. Yes, judging from this meeting, Janos is indeed more like a politician. This conclusion can be drawn from every move. However, these are all superficial. This still requires substance. It takes a little while to understand. As a qualified politician, Omar does not think that he has completely understood everything about the other party when they first met. Even if he had already known a lot about the other party from the information before, he still didn't really understand it now. What kind of person the other person is.

"Do you think Janos has real ambitions?" Alfonso also talked about the same person a long time ago. That person was Horn from Ecuador. At that time, this guy was studying at a Spanish university. He asked the other party during a meeting, and the final result was that the other party was very frank and admitted this, and more importantly, the other party made a plan. Although the plan was not very detailed, it was indeed enough to make Ah Fang Suo admired him very much, and the final result came out.

The current president of Ecuador is the other party, and the other party also appeared in South America in a pro-Spanish form a few years ago. Now it can be said that the country closest to Spain in South America is Ecuador. However, some time ago, there was news that the United States sent a large business delegation After visiting Ecuador, Alfonso became a little dissatisfied. If Ecuador finally slowly moves in the direction of the United States, it will definitely not be a truly ideal result for Spain. If this happens, then He, Alfonso XIII, would never let such a traitor have an easy time. must.

Chile, Peru, and Bolivia have always been the four South American countries that Alfonso pays most attention to. These four countries have always made a lot of contributions to Spain's stabilization of South America. The existence of their pro-Spanish governments represents Spain's influence in these countries. The influence of Spain also represents Spain's huge influence in South America that is unmatched. Internationally, perhaps only the United States can compare. Even the United Kingdom can only do so with the cooperation of Brazil and Portugal. But others Forget, Portugal is now Spain's most important ally. If Britain hadn't been pressing harder back then, Portugal wouldn't be eating away at Britain's influence in Brazil bit by bit. Fortunately, the royal blood of the Kingdom of Brazil is still the same as that of Portugal. Although there is a certain gap in real political understanding, the two royal families still have close contact.

Paraguay, a former Spanish colony, has now begun to move towards the west step by step. As time goes by, Alfonso believes that the rulers of the other side will continue to move closer. After all, the examples of those countries are there. , and where are the current development models of Brazil and Argentina? It can be said that if you want to develop, except for Spain, then the United Kingdom and the United States behind Argentina have definitely not reached Spain’s level in terms of autonomy or development success. degree.

"I don't know if he has ambitions, but I am very sure of one thing. When I met with them alone in the end, I found that whenever I talked about Archduke Ferdinand on the Bosnian issue, it seemed that he had some The frowning look, and when facing the German Empire's alliance with Bulgaria and Italy, it seems that the other party is more worried, and even in the sentence, there is some dissatisfaction with Vienna's too close relationship with the German Empire. "

"Oh?" Alfonso thought thoughtfully. If the thing about Omer that Alfonso admired most about him could definitely be his judgment. His judgment has always been very rigorous. If Alfonso is asked to make a comparison, then it must be Lu Su or Cheng Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. Such a person is definitely already inseparable if he doesn't say anything about it.

"Yes, I even wonder if they feel that the distribution is unfair in terms of cooperation or benefits, and they are beginning to be dissatisfied with Neletanya."

Alfonso's mind moved and he said nothing. Obviously, if this is the case, then many things will be rearranged.

Many people don’t understand what Neletania and Transleitania mean. It's actually very simple, it's a geographical name. As mentioned before, this is actually the name of the gap left by the merger of the two camps headed by Austria and Hungary. It represents the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the Letta River as its limit and Neletania in the west. In contrast, Transletania was to the southeast, thus dividing the Austro-Hungarian Empire into two parts.

Transletania includes the Kingdom of Hungary, Transylvania (historically, it was returned to Romania after World War I, accounting for about half of Romania's territory, 100,000 square kilometers), the Kingdom of Croatia-Slovenia (part of Croatia and Serbia), Kingdom of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In terms of population, Neletania accounts for 28.57 million of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's population of 51.39 million, while Transletania accounts for 22.82 million. The most important thing is that among the population of Neletania, headed by the Kingdom of Austria, Prussian Germans, who are very similar to the German Empire, account for 33%, Czechs account for 22%, Poles account for 15%, and Ukrainians account for 12%. Italians account for 3%, with the remainder being other mixed ratios. The capital is also in Vienna.

"You say, if we intervene in this country because of this, do you think we in Spain can find an ally that is truly loyal to us?" The more Alfonso thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he felt that his eyes were slightly hot. Look at Umar. (To be continued...)
