Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

() "I am very happy to meet His Majesty. His majesty's heroic appearance makes me feel very ashamed. Perhaps among us, only our Emperor can compare with it."

"Haha, your metaphor is quite interesting. If your people hear your words, then"

Yamamoto Gonbei chuckled: "Your Majesty is indeed like this. You have a unique status in Spain, and our Majesty the Emperor. Er, the same is true in Japan. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to say that on the territory of your country. "No" . .

I originally wanted to talk about the Japanese Empire, but suddenly I remembered Spain's status as an international power. Although Japan has developed well and is the strongest country in East Asia, when facing Spain, one of the most powerful countries in the world, he still felt deeply. I deeply feel Japan's own shortcomings. Therefore, he quickly changed his mind so as not to offend Spain, the leader of the country who far surpassed Japan in both economic and military aspects.

Yamamoto Gonbei looked a little polite, and he didn't expect the extremely brutal actors Alfonso would see in later generations to perform like the characters who graduated from the Valley of the Wicked with faces full of "I am a villain".

The 58-year-old man's hair has turned white, and he is less than 1.6 meters tall, but he looks a little short of his own height of 1.9 meters. Yamamoto Gonbei purchased a submarine from Spain on behalf of Emperor Meiji of Japan this time. Of course Alfonso also knew about this. He did not blame Japan too much for his enthusiasm for military development. The lack of resources was extremely serious. island country. On the premise that tens of millions of citizens need to survive, it is impossible not to expand outwards. Bullshit grandiose words such as world peace are far less comfortable than making one's own citizens live a better life. The fundamental purpose of the Meiji Restoration was to improve Japan's national life and economy. As for external expansion, it was just incidental. Of course, it is undeniable that Japan's Emperor Meiji and his ministers wanted foreign countries to expand Japan's economy. He values ​​​​it, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with this, since he is already extremely powerful in the Far East. Why not expand to make our national life better? As for the life and death of other countries, it seems that humans do not think about their thoughts when eating animals. . .

The principle of the weak eating the strong was the same in that era, no matter which region it was. Therefore, even if there is a grudge in the heart. But he didn't say anything about being disgusted when he saw the Japanese. Moreover, it is for the benefit of Spain. He wouldn't do that in Spain either.

"Are you the most eloquent officer in Japan?" Alfonso joked and motioned for the other person to sit down.

"Although I don't dare to admit it, I still have confidence." Yamamoto Gonbei's acceptance also made Alfonso look at him in surprise. This guy seems to be a good lobbyist, from just now to now. He was still not eager to show his purpose of coming here. He was very patient. Also, from just now to now, Yamamoto Gonbei had been gradually becoming more familiar with the relationship between the two. After getting online, it can be seen that the other party is still a good person with psychological tactics. Know how to use psychology to influence subsequent requests.

However, it is such an old man who looks kind but is so kind that many people would find it difficult to imagine that he is actually a murderer without knowing his background. He is considered to be one of the most important people who handled the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the Japanese-Russian War. one. It can be said that he is a cold-blooded person with blood on his hands.

Yamamoto Gonbei didn't know that he had been quickly judged in the face of this world giant, and he was still a cold-blooded person represented by blood. If he knew, I don't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Yamamoto Gonbei was thinking about how to make His Majesty Alfonso XIII agree to Japan's request to purchase Spanish submarines. However, many opinions were rejected by him. A long time ago, Spanish weapons were what Japan wanted to buy, but the Chinese community in Spain was lobbying not to sell them to Japan. This made Japan very distressed. He thought about it several times. In order to instigate other ethnic groups in Spain to suppress the Chinese race in Spain, the effect is not without effect. The Spanish Parliament has passed several requirements to regulate the national identity of Spain in the Chinese communities in Western Australia and New Zealand. , The main thing is to ask them to put Spain's national interests as the most important thing, rather than putting the previous national interests above the current interests of Spain.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the effect of local advertising that the Chinese in Western Australia, New Zealand and other places no longer have much resistance to Spanish payments to Japan. Later, in terms of ordinary guns and ammunition, the cooperation between the two countries has continued to expand. There was a steady increase, and later when they cooperated to seize Dutch Indonesia, the cooperation between the two countries made the Chinese in Western Australia and New Zealand no longer have any objections.

Obviously, the Chinese society still takes into account the interests of the major ethnic groups in Spain. Even so, because the Spanish government was still wary of the backlash from the Chinese, it still proceeded cautiously. Of course, he also knew that in fact, the reason why the government was like this, based on their speculation, may be because the Chinese forces in the government already had due to scale.

The current Spanish Marquis Yan Shun is the leading representative of Spanish and even European Chinese. He holds the rank of Lieutenant General of the Spanish Air Force and the most important leader of the top think tank around Alfonso XIII. These positions are destined for him. How great the influence of His Majesty Alfonso XIII is, and they also learned that Yan Shun used to be the head of the Spanish intelligence agency. These are all combined. It is not difficult to say that many people in Spain still feel pressure when facing this Chinese leader. In addition, there are now traces of Chinese in the two major parliaments, and there is no shortage of Chinese tycoons in Spain's current business community. These influential people still have some influence on Spanish society. Therefore, overall, Spain still allows Chinese Found a real place to grow.

It's not that the Japanese government never thought about suppressing the Chinese in Spain, but it ended in failure. Small moves won’t do. The big move was afraid of arousing dissatisfaction in Spain, saying that Japan was interfering in Spanish affairs. In this way, the Chinese people's status in the world plummeted due to the corruption of the Qing government, and they became an inferior nation and became the world's leader. The famous sick man of East Asia. But now that Spain is a fertile soil, it has fostered their rapid recovery, although this recovery is based on Spain. However, it still promoted the status of the Chinese on the world stage. If we really want to divide the Chinese into several regional levels, then the Chinese in Spain are undoubtedly the highest status among the Chinese in the world. They enjoy the treatment of Spanish nationals and are now citizens of one of the most powerful countries in the world. Their status He is a superior being when facing anyone. therefore. Living a good life in Spain and becoming a Spanish citizen has become the most desirable direction for Chinese people.

The second-class Chinese are the Chinese living in Europe. European countries may be influenced by Spain, so they will adopt a cautious approach when dealing with Chinese issues. There aren't many races. Moreover, the travel of Spanish Chinese in other countries has also led to misunderstandings among local people who are afraid of offending Spanish Chinese. Therefore, these words are human, but I also yearn for becoming a Chinese in Spain. They have already tasted the status of Spanish Chinese.

Those who came directly were the Chinese in the United States and the Chinese in Southeast Asia. These Chinese are the lowest class and they have been subjected to serious discriminatory policies. Therefore, the Chinese here are more eager to go out to other places, so they have become the most yearning for Spain among overseas Chinese. A place that exists like heaven to them.

As for the mainland, the current immigrants to Spanish Western Australia are as eager as North Korea under Japanese rule longing for life in Tokyo.

After chatting for a while, Alfonso felt moved and a little bored, and said: "I don't know why Emperor Muruhito told you to come here this time. Of course, I have already received the greetings."

Seeing Alfonso XIII's somewhat sleepy expression, he knew that it was time to enter the topic.

He straightened his face and said respectfully: "Spain has always been a big country in Europe, and it has always been a big country in the world." Seeing Alfonso just looking at him with a smile, and Without making any statement, he knew what I meant. He was forcing himself to say it, and at the same time he was secretly cursing himself for taking it for granted. In a strong and practical king who can push Spain to the world to its current position. In front of me, I was pretty good at dealing with the vain king, but the other person was definitely not such a person. I was really asking for trouble and embarrassment by pressing my hot face against my cold butt.

"We have heard about your country's war in the waters off Madagascar as far away as the East. Your country's submarine tactics were too powerful in this war."

"Thank you, many people said that." Alfonso's general words made Yamamoto Gonbei's words hang in his throat, unable to swallow and embarrassed to spit them out. It's really not that uncomfortable.

In the end, we decided not to 'save the country through curveballs' but to be more direct. Therefore, with a sincere expression on his face, he implored: "Spanish submarines are showing their power there. Regarding this weapon of your country, we feel that it is very suitable for us to protect our land. Therefore, we hope, Spain was able to sell it to us.

"No," Alfonso refused firmly.

Such a tone naturally made Yamamoto Gonbei a little stunned.

"Because not long ago, our Ministry of National Defense has ordered that Spanish submarines have been upgraded to one of the most important secret weapons of Spain. They are weapons of a strategic nature. Therefore, in order to protect our country, as a Spanish ally, I Didn’t get our submarine purchase rights”

Spain's policy naturally greatly disappointed Yamamoto Gonbei, who was originally full of hope. However, fortunately, Spain now has a strategic partnership with them, allowing them to obtain the right to purchase other Spanish weapons. Therefore, Spain's The number of center bombers has increased again. Spain has promised that in the next three years, Spain will double the original 12 center bombers to the same 24 as the Ottoman Empire. Two parties including firearms have also signed an agreement. Quite a few. For a time, the world began to view the relationship between the two countries with suspicion.
