Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Since His Majesty has said so, doesn't it make it difficult for me to do this if you ask me this?" Special Baden glared at the other party angrily.

"Haha, okay, we don't have to argue about this issue anymore, let's talk about the situation in the Far East." William II interrupted the two people's less than enthusiastic greeting.

Tirpitz laughed twice, but it seemed a little weird because his beard was too long.

"Your Majesty, I think that although I opposed the Prime Minister's opinion just now, I agree that we should intervene in the affairs of Indochina, but it is indirect. Since Spain wants to enter that area, then we might as well help them. Give him a handful and let him do it freely."

"You mean" Tebobaden asked. William II also looked at him, obviously not understanding what he was referring to.

"Now that the news that the King of Siam will not have much time has spread, then as the Crown Prince of Siam, Vacharajan should choose to go back. In this case, as the target of Spain's key training in recent years, Spain will definitely have follow-up actions. Keep up, and we only need to come out and help them at the critical moment, that is, when Spain and Britain and France are confronting each other, so that they can continue to entangle the energy of Britain and France, then for us It is definitely a good opportunity, a good opportunity to weaken several of them. Of course, for this, we need to try our best to give them the opportunity conditions to stick together."

"For example, France has penetrated its influence from Vietnam to the east of the Mekong River, and Britain has also begun to penetrate its influence along the Indian Ocean into the Malay Peninsula. In this case, how will Spain deal with it? Such a person I doubt it. After all, if Spain gets involved, they will definitely not use the same method as the United Kingdom, because that is unpopular, and the person they support is the orthodox crown prince. Under such strong conditions, he can legitimately inherit the throne. Of course they will not become the people’s supporters who describe them as traitors.”

"You mean that we should focus on Spain's future national politics in Siam, rather than on the issue of the size of the colony?" William II figured out the key at once, and Special Baden next to him Looking at him, he obviously also thought of this key.

"Yes," Tirpitz said, "If we were them, it would be a waste if we had such a condition. Moreover, unlike other Eastern countries, after years of Western education, the Siamese are not interested in Westerners. There is no hostility, and even because their king Chulalongkorn has not shown his yearning for the Western world in recent years, they admire us in the West even more. Therefore, Westerners serving as officials in Siam are It can be accepted by people, which is why so many of us Westerners can become government consultants in this country."

"Both the French and the British are arrogant. How can they spit out what they get? As a crown prince, I think he will not want the country's territory to remain intact. In this case, then the two The problem on both sides is that it is irreconcilable. If Spain's support is strong enough, then the contradiction will definitely escalate further. If we 'assist' from the side, even if there is no fight in the end, this can also compress their British and French strategies. Space, and more importantly, can establish a crisis of trust between them. People, sometimes it is just the subtleties that can affect the direction of some major events. I believe that as the helmsmen, they will face the interests of the people. When the time comes, they will never be lenient, especially in a country like France with a republican democratically elected system. Armand Farier will never dare to make a casual decision when he wants to come."

Elysee Palace.

Armand Fallier is discussing with his two presidents about the many problems France is currently facing.

"As I said last time, we need to be better than Spain. This is absolutely necessary." Pica said seriously, but then, his tone changed and said: "But we can't let the other side see through it too easily. , or even, we can show our strong side that we need to strive for the best interests. Haha, Mr. President, I think Spain is the border calm partner we need, but, similarly, we are also what they need, so, I suggest that if the profit is not large and the surrounding situation is not very tense, we should still show our tolerance. After all, the Gauls will not compromise with others so easily. Even if you fight for this reason, you won’t hesitate to fight.”

Armand did not speak, but turned his attention to Lison, the other personal think tank next to him. However, he put aside the doubts he had had during this period of time, that is, he put the pickup truck in a trustworthy corner.

Leeson glanced at Pica, and then said slowly: "Actually, since Spain has blatantly announced to everyone this time that it will support Vacharajan to take over after returning to Siam, to put it bluntly, This is a trick used against us, Britain and France, that is, if everyone wants to come, come clearly. If you use the press move, then don’t blame me for using the same move to retaliate. The reason for this attitude shows that Spain already wants to Let the game and battle be controlled within Siam, rather than involving each country personally. As for the outcome, it depends on their respective capabilities."

Short and to the point, this is what Leeson always thought of Armand. On the contrary, Pica is good at talking about genres, and can also connect the dots in details. If the two of them merge together, they will complement each other. After getting along with each other for these years, Armand has a deep understanding of the two. Very satisfied with the cooperation.

Armand is a person who doesn't reveal his thoughts easily. Sometimes even if he agrees with the other person's thoughts, he will hide it very well and not let the other party know.

"What about the actions of the four-nation free trade zone between Ottoman Turkey and Italy? What do you think of this matter? What problems does our country face?"

Jumpingly, he switched to another topic. This is his erratic character.

"I have also read the interview with the British that the president mentioned. The insights are very unique, and there is also a feeling of admiration for others when he talks about it. It can be seen that this president is a practical strategist. Here, I suggest that the president should also The academic atmosphere of domestic universities has become more active, which can reduce a lot of our lack of strategic talents. The reason why the British have developed so fast in recent years is that, in addition to their warships, their universities have vigorously cultivated talents to enrich the government and society. It cannot be underestimated, but due to war and other reasons, our republic lacks a systematic and stable academic atmosphere in this regard, and many talents have even gone to neighboring countries."

"Also, there are problems with our education investment and other systems. Look at the Three Musketeers universities in the UK, including Cambridge, Oxford and London. How many talents they have trained for the UK. On the other hand, our republic seems to be more famous. It’s just the University of Paris and the University of Lyon. Even in comparison, the popularity of these two universities is not much higher than that of the second-tier universities in the UK, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Liverpool. And look at our neighboring country, the University of Munich in Germany. , University of Hamburg in Berlin, University of Freiburg, and in the second row are the University of Göttingen, University of Tübingen, University of Bonn and other alliances. They are all well-known colleges in Europe. And Spain even has the CSGB University Group.

This year's "International Wired" university ranking list has come out. They are 1 Oxford University (UK), 2 Cambridge University (UK), 3 Berlin University of Hamburg (Germany), 4 Madrid University. University of London (Western), 5 Harvard University (USA), 6 University of Munich (Germany), 7 University of London (UK), 8 University of Bologna (Italy), 9 University of Barcelona (Western), 10 University of Milan (Italy);

11 University of Freiburg (Germany), 12 Imperial College London (UK), 13 University of Paris (France), 14 University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), 15 Columbia University (US), 16 University of Edinburgh (UK), 17 Salamanca University (Western), 18 Yale University (U.S.), 19 University of Granada (Western), ), 20 University of Lyon (France)"

Pika said with some frustration: "I did some calculations. Let's not talk about the 20th place. Let's just say that the ranking of the first 20 places is that the UK takes the first place. 1, 2, 7, 12, 16. This is the UK's ranking. When it comes to quantity, the ranking is absolutely number one in terms of quantity and fame.

Our old rival Germany, 3, 6, 11, although the number is not as good as that of the UK and even one less than Spain, it ranks second in the ranking.

Spain, its neighbor to the south, ranks 4, 9, 17, and 19. Although it is not as good as Germany in terms of ranking, it has reached the top in terms of quantity.

The three countries accounted for 12, and the rest, the strong rise of the United States has also been reflected here, 5, 15, 18, three institutions entered the list; the eastern neighbor Italy 8, 10; France 13, 20 ;The University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands also entered 14. As one of the powerful countries in Europe and even the world, France has such poor results. This already illustrates the issue of talent competition. Let's think about the relationship between the economic development of various countries and the rankings of these universities in recent years. So, Your Excellency, President, I think we in France should pay more attention to education issues. I think the Spanish slogan of "rejuvenating the country with talents" is what I want to say now."

"13, 20?" Armand Farier listened to Pica's data, and his mood was even worse. As a president, of course he understands the importance of talents. The main reason why Britain has endured for so long is the continuous supply of talent. If the French Republic wants to stand at the top of the world again, it seems that education has to work hard!

"Although I don't know what this year's Time magazine rankings are and whether there is any difference. However, I still agree with Pika's point of view. Your Excellency, now, we really need to pay attention to education!" Leeson also agreed.
