Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

On the sea as far as the eye can see, the air-conditioning caused by the cold makes people feel creepy all over. And even under such low temperatures, there was actually a ship drifting southward.

"Shackleton, do you think we can reach that mysterious continent this time? The temperature is getting colder and colder. Now we have five pieces of cotton-padded sweaters all over our bodies. If this continues, we will You really have to dress yourself like a ball."

There are 11 people sitting on a ship that is not very big but obviously belongs to a merchant ship. Except for the person who spoke, everyone else is doing their own work."

"Don't worry, since even Russia has been here before, there is definitely hope that we will see it. Moreover, the map we got this time was obtained from the United Kingdom. It is said that this map is from the 1980s. I drew it when I discovered Shetland Island in the east, and this direction is the direction of South Shetland Island. We had just passed the British Coronet Island before, and now we are facing the direction of the mainland. There will be several islands next..."

"Look, look, look, we have found the continent there. Wow, it's a vast expanse of white icebergs just like the North Pole at our doorstep. It's so beautiful..." [

"That is... what is that, Captain Shackleton, look what that is."

When Shackleton ran to the deck, he looked surprised.

"What is going on? How come a warship appears here?" A warship appears here. Warships. You must know that this is a famous polar region and a famous deserted continent. There are actually warships here. Haunting, this has to be said to be a very shocking thing. You must know that the ones who came here before were not just civilian ships or adventure ships, but adventure teams formed by some commercial ships. And now that the warship is here, which country is just kidding itself?

"Look, that warship is coming. No way, it's a Spanish navy warship."

"Aren't you talking nonsense, Carlotz? They're all coming. You don't need to tell me that I've seen it too." But I still had some curiosity in my heart, but I didn't think about it. I just thought about which country the warships are from, but they are coming. .

"Stop quickly, be careful not to hit each other. With our small bodies, we are not strong enough to resist the iron armor of others. If we hit, we will all be finished. Carlotz, what are you still doing? What are you staring at there? Why don’t you go down quickly and help change the route to make way for me?”

"Yes, yes, captain." Although he said so, he was muttering in his heart: It is like this every time. Being the captain is really comfortable. In a few years, I will definitely form my own team and be the captain. Let's go and show off, huh!

Shackleton didn't know what his deputy was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely give him a few chestnuts to eat. He felt vaguely uneasy now, but he didn't know where the uneasiness came from. Looking at the armored ship that was already fifty meters away, he was secretly shocked. It turned out that what appeared in front of him was an armored cruiser. A Spanish armored cruiser actually appeared here. He believed that if this news was revealed, Then, the whole world will definitely be shocked.

At the same time, he felt even more frightened, and the chill hit him even more. This time it was not attacking his body, but his heart. They would not kill anyone to keep this secret. At the same time, he was also secretly annoyed. Why had no news come out before that there were Spanish warships here? If he had known about it, he would not have come here even if he was killed. He would rather go to the North Pole to explore there. It is said that an American has entered the North Pole this year. If he succeeds, he may be able to become the second. Now? Looking at the giant who was already more than twenty meters away, he lamented his misfortune even more.

I just hope that this warship can leave quickly instead of stopping. However, contrary to expectations, it stopped, and it stopped more than ten meters away from itself, and then someone appeared on the opponent's deck that was higher than itself.

"Captain Shackleton, what is the other party doing?"

Looking back, he saw that everyone was gathered around him, and the person who spoke was the third-ranking man on his ship, a middle-aged man who specialized in managing sailings. To him, Shackleton was much more pleasant. "I don't know, let's take a look"

Carlotz, who was nearby, rolled his eyes when he heard this. This was really an idiotic answer.

Just as they were watching the dozens of neatly dressed soldiers in Spanish military uniforms on the deck. Then I saw one of them standing up. His military uniform was different from the others.

Then he put down a small boat and drove over. On the boat, in addition to the officer, there were nearly twenty fully armed soldiers with guns following him.

Of course, Shackleton didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly asked the other party and others to board their ship.

"Who is the general?"

"Captain of the Spanish South Pacific Fleet Lepanto, Spanish Lieutenant Colonel, you can call me Lieutenant Colonel Miz, are you adventurers?"

Miz, Lieutenant Colonel? This level is not low, and at the same time, he also knows that his guess is somewhat wrong. According to what he knows, the captain of the Spanish armored cruiser seems to be a colonel, and the lieutenant colonel seems to be the rank of the captain of the large frigate. [

Large frigate! This is also a giant existence that is difficult to match.

"Yes, we are residents of Greenland from Denmark. We came here this time just to pay homage to this southern ice continent."

"Is that so?" The lieutenant colonel was not very old, that is, around 27 or 8 years old. His face is very square and has a military temperament. This temperament makes Shackleton and others on the side even more aggressive and dare not say anything, especially Carlotz, who is only 20 years old this year. Take a breather. The other crew members are also staring here cautiously.

"Sorry, this place has been blocked by us, so" the lieutenant colonel named Miz said calmly with a smile on his face: "So your work here this time has been in vain. Please turn around and go back. "

"What, it was blocked?" "We came here in vain. We endured so many hardships and dangers before we came here, and now we are told to go back like this." "No, we should go to the mainland to see Look, how is this place different from Greenland in the Arctic?

Listening to the dissatisfaction of his members, he felt bitterness in his heart.

Dissatisfaction also overflowed in my heart. I had worked so hard to bring them here. At that time, there were 29 people on the ship including myself, but now there are only 11 left. In addition to the loss of 8 due to pirates, the remaining The 10 people who came down all died for various reasons at sea. It can be said that the people I want to wait for are those who took them with me. Before they died, they told me to engrave their names on the continent they wanted to go to. , now they are so close in front of them, and they are about to successfully fulfill their dying wish, but they are asked to waste all their efforts and turn the ship back. How unwilling they feel.

"I don't know what Lieutenant Colonel Miz means." He still has the hope that the other party can be accommodating. He only hopes that the other party can tell the reason, and then he can explain it to the other party. That would be fine." However, Miz He felt so dizzy that he didn't hear all the words that followed.

Miz's original words were: "Meaning? It's very simple. This continent is now Spanish territory. You said, as non-Spanish nationals and Spanish soldiers, we can tolerate foreigners like you on our soil. Well, if that’s the case, we soldiers are doing something derelict in our duties, so you’d better please come back. Of course, if you want to enter this continent, it’s not impossible, but you need conditions.”

Even Shackleton's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait and asked eagerly: "What are the conditions? Tell me whether we will agree to it. Please tell me."

"The conditions are very simple. You only need to apply for a permit in Madrid or Perth, Western Australia, or Wellington, New Zealand. Then you can enter this continent for your adventure."

"You, you are bullying others too much."

"Oh, we are not bullying you. We are just guarding the border. On the contrary, it is you who are making our work difficult. It is you who are bullying us."

"You, well, when did this continent become Spanish territory? I ask you." Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. When all his friends lost their voices, Carlotz stood up, and then shook his head at Shaker. With a worried look on his face, he confidently questioned Miz.

"Spain has classified this continent as our territory more than ten years ago. We have already built our houses on it, and we have built our own ports, but these have not yet been announced to the world. Also, There are Spanish navy patrols on the seaside all around this continent. You are the third group of people we have blocked in the past three months. The Russians and Americans were blocked by us before. Now they have stopped On the way home”

The third batch? Shackleton really didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Wait a minute, Lieutenant Colonel, please do us a favor." Seeing Miz looking over, he quickly said vividly how pitiful his dead companions were and how he told them before they died that he wanted to be here. The desire to leave his name on the ice continent.

I wonder if he will agree?

Thank you Huan Yuechen for your daily rewards these days. Thank you very much. Also, this is the finishing work. Spain is preparing to shake hands with the United States and temporarily make peace. The German Empire has just obtained a piece of land. Britain, France, Japan, Russia, etc. are rapidly absorbing colonial nutrients.

In the next few years, apart from the split of the Kingdom of Siam, there will not be too many Spanish disputes, so the countdown to the first world war will soon begin. Also, what I want to tell you is that this time the first World War II will not be absolutely similar to history. I will join other wars and make it global. I don’t know, what will everyone think of the United States’ accession? I have already thought about his enemies, and they will definitely give everyone a surprise. And Europe is also comprehensive this time. I think it will leave everyone in suspense as to what kind of team Spain will have. Finally, I ask everyone to continue to support my original works.
