1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 239, The Opportunity of United States

The 9/11 attacks on September 11, 1867 exposed Spain’s fragility and barriers to the world. The unclimbable attack launched by a group of indigenous insurgents almost collapsed Spanish rule in Cuba. On this day, the insurgents attacked almost all government agencies in Havana, killing more than a thousand members of the Spanish colonial government, killing and injuring more than twice this number. And the Spaniards like a stupid pig failed to catch an attacker. Such stupidity can be said to be a breakthrough in the sky. Although the Spanish in Cuba vigorously argued that such a situation occurred, "it is not because we are incompetent, but because the enemy is too cunning." But this kind of justification has increasingly shown their incompetence and stupidity. Even in Spain, people's performance towards them is mainly criticized and ironic.

The governor in Cuba was injured in the attack. It is said that his head was smashed. Although he is not dead, he is no longer able to take care of things. The entire police system in Havana was completely paralyzed. Now, the Spaniard who had just overthrown the slut found that they were facing another big problem.

The situation in Cuba is now completely messed up. After Havana was hit by such a punch, rebellions continued to erupt in other areas. Although the insurgents did not directly seize the power of Havana, they took advantage of the opportunity when the colonial authorities completely lost their ability to react. They launched rebellions in other cities and seized many towns in one go. Today, in Cuba, almost half of the cities and towns are no longer flying the Spanish "Blood and Gold" flag. Also known as "Blood and Gold").

The responsibility for the collapse of Cuba, the new Spanish government can of course put it all on the slut who has now fled to Paris. In fact, they did the same. They pointed out that it was because the slut indulged in lust, indulged in pleasure, allowed the rape party in the DPRK to run rampant, corrupted, and allowed the incompetent to steal high positions, which led to the collapse of Cuba. Situation.

However, since the new government has overthrown the slut, of course they should show stronger ability. They should be able to settle the problem and keep Spain in America's last and most important colony. Therefore, when Cuba becomes a mess and almost enters a state of semi-anarchy, the new government must be able to turn the tide.

It's just that Cuba is so far away from Spain that the communication between the two sides is very difficult. Fortunately, technology has improved nowadays, and wireless trans-ocean telegrams have also been launched not long ago. So Spaniards can go through United States, um, to be more precise, through Scrooge's New York Tower to maintain timely communication.

The Spaniards are not very concerned about telegrams, so when the Brits and Prussians have long started to use encrypted wireless telegrams, the Spaniards did not pay much attention to it. So although they have the so-called password, the degree of encryption is simply It’s unsightly, and every time they send out the telegrams, Scrooge is very clear. As a result, Scrooge took these telegrams to the University of Cleveland. It took a group of mathematicians a little more than a week to completely decipher them. NS. In this way, Spain’s various decisions are almost completely transparent to Scrooge, and these things are transparent to Scrooge, then to Cuba’s "freedom fighters" and Morgan will become It's mostly translucent.

Morgan is not idle these days. Cuba produced almost half of the white sugar on the world market at that time, and almost all of the highest quality white sugar came from Cuba. In addition, Morgan, who is a big smoking gun, is also very aware of the status of Cuban tobacco in the world market. Before the accident happened, Morgan and his people everywhere told the news that Cuba was going well this year and that agriculture was about to have a bumper harvest. They successfully lowered the price of high-quality sugar and tobacco by more than ten percentage points, and then quietly bought a large number of other areas. The futures of sugar and tobacco. Now Cuba is suddenly in chaos, and the big harvest that was originally promised has naturally fallen to the ground. In addition, today’s Europeans’ knowledge of Cuba’s situation is almost entirely derived from reports transmitted through Scrooge’s New York Tower, and these The reports almost all portray a Cuba that is completely out of control. Obviously, even if the new Spanish government is capable, the harvest this year will definitely be out of the question. So the futures prices of white sugar and tobacco leaf began to skyrocket, making Morgan a lot of money.

"Although I have made a lot of money." Morgan said to Mimi, "but, even if you just think about it with your heels, you know that Scrooge must have made more! Well, during this period alone, he paid for Spain. People charge a lot of telegram fees! Thinking about this, I feel uncomfortable."

But Morgan's words were a bit wronged by Scrooge, at least at this stage, Scrooge has not earned much. Of course, in the long run, this storm will definitely bring him more money, there is no doubt about this.

The new Spanish government made the decision. They ordered Cuba’s acting governor, Lord Cooper, to negotiate with the rebels in order to buy time for the dispatch of troops from the country to suppress. As for the domestic army, the Spaniards gritted their teeth and sent an army of 25,000. As for the commanding generals, well, they took the opportunity to throw in the royalists. If they win, of course it’s good, if they fail, it’s also good. Moreover, considering the amazing combat effectiveness of the rebels (although the newspaper reports mainly emphasize the stupidity of the Spanish colonial authorities, the Spanish government with first-hand information can still judge that these rebels are not fuel efficient. The lights.) The first army may not be able to suppress the rebellion. Well, after the royalists and the rebels have suffered both losses, the new government will send new generals, their own generals, and armed forces with new weapons to resolve the battle. Well, then everything will become better and better.

Thus, the glorious and difficult task of suppressing the rebellion fell on the shoulders of the royalist general Campos. The new government gave him 25,000 soldiers, um, just to suppress a group of indigenous rebels, no one would think that such a large number of troops would not be enough. And to be honest, the equipment of this army is not bad. When Queen Isabella II was still in power, she liked to spend money randomly, so the military expenditure of the Spanish army has not been high. Even when the United States government sold the musket at low prices the year before, Spain could not get it out. How much does it cost to change the own army? Therefore, although only 10,000 of the 25,000 people are now equipped with McDonald 1857, which seems to be a little old now, it is already very well equipped in Spain.
