Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"Wow" Trini's words made the reporters present wow again. . First, read books

Spain and Siam have become allies, and they are also military and political allies. This news is too sudden and surprising. No one knew the news beforehand. Now it was suddenly exposed. Yes, in their eyes, it was just like an explosion.

And allies are allies, there are actually military leases of seaports, the direct military significance of piracy, etc. In fact, the Siamese Kingdom under the leadership of Vacharajan has agreed to Spain as their patron saint. The meaning is very obvious, and this has to make everyone feel a little uncomfortable for a while. This is progressing a little too fast.

A British reporter asked this question pointedly.

"No, it's not fast. What everyone doesn't know is that we had already been in contact about this matter a few years ago. However, due to concerns on both sides, we stopped moving forward at that time. Now it's just It is just for the sake of completing what was completed a few years ago. Therefore, we have great ambitions for the relationship between our two countries and future cooperation, because now we have talked about everything that should be talked about and should not be talked about. Over and over again, the best outcome of the current situation." When Trini mentioned a few years ago, the regret on his face was obvious. At the end of his speech, he changed to determination.

"Can I ask, what do you mean by whether we should talk or not? Is this also the reason why we couldn't reach an agreement a few years ago? I am a local reporter in Madrid, Spain, from the "Madrid Journal"" A young and beautiful girl, Blonde hair and a pretty face. The combination of these makes her not inferior to the French female reporter just now, and obviously, this female reporter is younger, and she does have a temperament that is incompatible with other people. For a while, He impressed more of his male counterparts. Some men even unconsciously didn't realize that their thoughts had already shifted from this to the comparison of the looks of the two beautiful women. Of course, there were some who were secretly tempted during the comparison. How should they strike up a conversation with them after the press conference and do something to increase feelings, as for Trini. snort. There is nothing good about a man.

If Trini knew this, he didn't know whether to smile bitterly or to be grateful that he was so comfortable without being made trouble by them.

Of course, the world today has telegraphs and telephones flying around to deliver this message. The alliance between Spain and Siam means something too important. It is different from Spain's alliance with American society, and even the influence it gets is definitely different from that in South America.

around South America. Spain's allies are all duli countries. Except for a few small British and French colonies in the surrounding area. They are also duli countries, so there are not no countries threatened by Spain there. But those are all small countries, and because of Spain’s soft propaganda there over the years, people there feel that Spain is a responsible country. After all, Spain has invested a lot of money there to improve it. the lives of local people.

Although the Kingdom of Siam is also helped by Spain, it is different from South America. There are now several foreign forces competing for influence in the Kingdom of Siam, the largest of which are Spain, Britain and France. The most obvious ones are the French and British colonies.

The land encirclement of Siam by the two countries has made everyone know that the influence of Britain and France will never be low. Coupled with the current turmoil caused by the struggle for power in Siam by people supported by the two countries, discerning people It is clear at a glance that Britain and France will never easily compromise Spain's explosive influence there. So they will definitely follow Spain's tricks after they come out.

"Excuse the nickname. The king of Siam, Rama V Tetralongkorn, suddenly passed away in the Palace of the King of Siam at the age of 57. The legacy is clearly passed down to the 29th prince Vachararon."

This news did not come out from Spain in Siam, nor from Britain and France, which have huge influence in Siam. It did not come out from Siam itself. It turned out to be the largest media in the south of the chaotic Qing Dynasty. "Guangdong Daily" began to gasp, and then divided into two routes, one was by Westerners in Guangdong who first brought the news out, and the other was "Guangdong Daily" and the report was reprinted and published by other domestic and foreign newspapers.

Ever since, the news quickly became known to the whole world.

Although the influence of Siam cannot be compared with China under the rule of the Qing government last year, and even less with Japan, which is rapidly rising now, it is one of the few in the Far East that is not subject to colonial rule. One of the countries, and Siam is also one of the richest countries. Coupled with Tralongkorn's influence in the West, as soon as the news came out, it attracted worldwide attention. Tralongkorn, is he dead?

At the same time, many people began to think that he was dead because in these days, there was no trace of him in Siam.

But at that time, some people believed that he was not dead because he was testing Wacharazhong's ability to govern. Hidden, I wanted to see who at home and abroad actually supported and opposed the rule of Siam in Watcharajung.

Such an argument would naturally not satisfy Britain and France, and the two people they supported, Prince Apio and Prince Lapi, who had actually divided their territories and became kings, were even more eager to know the news. I have been eager to know the authenticity of this news.

"Oh, I really don't want to announce this news to the outside world." Wacharazhong knew that this would be the case for a long time, but in the end he listened to the Spanish side's persuasion and spread the news. Fortunately, it was not directly reported in the country. , but skillfully come out to the neighboring countries in the north. Only in this way can the people better digest the shock brought by this news.

"However, if the news is not spread now, the questions that are waiting in the future will definitely be very huge, and it will be even more difficult for you to cope with it." Zhaowa Papongxi is Chulalongkorn's wife. She is also the biological mother of Vacha Lachon, and is the current Queen Liren of Siam. She has been a queen for 13 years since she was anointed queen in 1897. She still does not have the timidity of ordinary women, but advises her son. He was brave enough to face it all, though.

"Also, is Spain really reliable? They won't be so serious about burning bridges, right?" She still has some doubts about Spain.

This is not because he has a prejudice against Spain, but because among the many Western countries that he understands, there are really not many vegetarians. If Siam completely offends the two big countries of Britain and France because of its proximity to Spain, then by then The Kingdom of Siam can definitely live its life holding on to the lap of Spain. This situation is obviously not satisfactory, because in everyone's eyes, maintaining balance is the way to govern the country.

Especially those from Siam who immigrated here from China have a deep understanding of this truth.

Therefore, in this regard, those who were originally reluctant to interfere can no longer help themselves.

"Don't worry, although I'm not sure about the other things, I'm still very confident about this. Don't worry, mother. Don't talk about it. Just because of the strategic issue, Spain absolutely needs us to be here as their ally, because The position of our Kingdom of Siam is really too important, especially when Britain, Russia and France have already occupied this eastern continent. Spain will never be willing to see Britain and France completely occupying it without leaving any activities for them. Space.

Therefore, our existence is definitely an opportunity for them. Only with our existence can they reach out to the Indo-China Peninsula. Only then can we truly compete with Britain and France for more resources and influence on this huge peninsula, and even the more important industrial product market. Alas, I'm not worried about Spain. What I'm most worried about is my two brothers."

Queen Liren's expression changed. She naturally knew who the two brothers her son was referring to.

Wacharazhong is the eldest son among the nine children she gave birth to, and he has grown into five. Naturally, he has no brothers. If he has any brothers, of course they are those who are considered nephews as mentioned by his two sisters. With the two of them, only their potential and the British and French powers behind them can threaten the eldest son's throne.

In fact, to be serious, this scene would not have happened after Wacharajun's throne was settled. But because of her kindness, she often saw her two sisters die tragically. The children left behind looked pitiful, so he had never suppressed them in order to maintain his son's status. So much so that now he has become his son's biggest challenger to the throne with the support of Britain and France. It had to be said that this made her feel guilty for her son.

The son knows his own thoughts, so he has always taken care of his own feelings and has no room to embarrass the other party. Even when there was a lot of evidence proving that they wanted to separate themselves as kings, there was no formal deal with them. Instead, they gave them a chance to change their ways, but what they didn't expect was that this would turn into the current situation. It had to be said that this was a very embarrassing thing for her.

"Will they eventually go to duli?" When she said the word duli, what she didn't notice was that her voice was trembling. It showed how unpeaceful he was inside.

After hearing this, Wachala smiled bitterly. If he really wanted to guess this matter, then in his opinion, the possibility existed, because it would greatly hurt her feelings. Especially, so he chose to remain silent.

"It will be like this, isn't it?" To be continued.
