Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"How could it develop like this? This matter is really weird." Chen Shaobai brushed his messy short hair and said with some worry: "Could this be a very dangerous thing for us? I Why do I seem to feel that there is a strong and huge pressure here, and it seems that it may come over at any time."

Cai E also nodded with the same feeling. Now even in Jiangxi, there are rumors everywhere that the north is preparing to fight the south. Well, these are the ideas passed down by ordinary people orally, but the most extraordinary thing is that I am in When I came to Hangzhou on land, I discovered a lot of unusual things. That is, it seems that people in major newspapers are publishing that if there is no negotiation between the north and the south, then in the end, our country will face dozens of Experts were talking about the dangerous consequences of the Civil War that happened in the United States a few years ago. "

Lu Xun was seen deep in thought, while the others, Chen Shaobai, Hu Hanming and Tan Yankai, were also deep in thought. Cai E expressed his worries and said: "I wonder if this is what Yuan Shikai and Yuan Datou are doing. They want to use psychological tactics in the places under our respective governance so that we can force Premier Sun to hand over power."

"Yes, in this way, it is possible that Yuan Shikai did this. That guy's desire for power is not something ordinary people can get. Otherwise, Zaifeng would not have known him during the Qing government. He has been relegated to the cold palace and has gone into hiding. He has reached his current position because he knows that Premier Sun has always directly advocated the slogan of national prosperity. It is not only a mountain of public opinion. He also directly wants to break Premier Sun's reputation in the hearts of the people. or it is based on threats. If Premier Sun refuses to hand over power and is willing to see his family destroyed and the country starts an internal fight because of his nostalgia for the position of prime minister, then in the end he will not only become a sinner of the country, but also Or just knock him down from the altar and become a mortal. This should be Yuan Shikai's plan, kill two birds with one stone, it's really amazing, isn't it?" Hu Hanmin stroked his glasses, and then said slowly, but his words were Making everyone's expressions become more solemn.

Lu Xun still looked noncommittal, but looked at Tan Yankai next to him. Said: "What about you? Zu An (zi). If you have any thoughts, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart. It's a very uncomfortable thing."[

"Okay, I admit that I also have ideas. Shouldn't I wait until everyone has digested what Lao Hu said before?"

Fake coughing twice. Then Tan Yankai said: "I think this matter may be caused by the influence of external forces."

Lu Xun's eyes lit up, and then he asked with interest: "How do you say it?"

Tan Yankai said with a bit of seriousness in his frivolity: "The answer is naturally simple. Because I discovered a QGU phenomenon in the Shanghai Concession, that is, newspapers from various countries there were also reporting on this incident, and they were still based on their country's Translated from the language.

This shows that the consulates of various countries in the Shanghai concession should have already figured out the ins and outs of this matter. At least their families have chosen a tacit response by not participating. "

Lu Xun sighed, and then said: "Yes, Zu An is right. I have learned about this not long ago, and those foreign media are also calling on us to learn from the American Civil War and not to "Following the footsteps of the United States"

Cai E said doubtfully: "Are they so kind?"

"Of course they won't be so kind. They are afraid of their own interests in China. They are worried that if we are like the United States and a war breaks out soon after the War of Independence, how many elite soldiers can be trained and generals can be trained? , if foreign forces like them want to mix with us, they will not scare us like they are holding hostage during the Qing government, where a few hundred soldiers were able to kill tens of thousands of us, and let them steal our resources and wealth for free. ”

Lu Xun continued loudly: "They are also afraid of the true awakening of our nation, just like the United States after the Civil War, the unity of the north and the south created the economic miracle of the United States. They are afraid that we will copy the American model, a model like the United States. With such a powerful country, countries really don’t dare to mess around.”

When Lu Xun studied in Madrid, he studied the history of the development of the United States, because now, among the world's major powers, the only one that can be copied by China is the United States. However, the geographical location of the United States is destined to be more capable. It has security advantages, while China has obstacles impeding development everywhere. However, Lu Xun always believed that a China with 40 million compatriots could definitely use manpower to develop as large as the United States, a country with a population of less than 10 million. What China lacks is opportunities and help from allies. Looking around, only the United States and Spain are the best choices to help China. The United States has risen too fast, so it has attracted the attention of established Western powers and has been restrained. This That's why when Spain dealt with the United States, so many countries chose to sink. Silence means protecting yourself and not objecting. Not objecting means expressing more than 50% agreement.

Therefore, in the case of isolated aid, the United States supports another emerging power to attract attention and reduce its own pressure, and to give itself an additional solid ally to deal with European powers. This should be the most urgent idea of ​​the United States now.

As for Spain, Lu Xun was not very clear about their real purpose, but one thing he knew was that Spain was definitely the best and friendliest country to the Chinese among the big countries. He didn't believe it before, but after studying in Spain , discovered that this was true, and also found out that among the Chinese, Earl Yan Shunyan, no, it should be Marquis Yan. This Chinese actually achieved a prosperous position in Spain. From this, he knew that Spain was very right to the Chinese. Compared with the United States' previous discriminatory policies that restricted Chinese immigration, this is why Lu Xun chose to get closer to Spain. The reason is not only him, but also the overseas Chinese who do not know the friendliness of Spain. At least more than 90% of the Chinese have chosen Spain as their ideal country of immigration.

Therefore, he definitely agreed with Sun Yat-sen's appointment. As for Sun Yat-sen's purpose, he could not think of anything other than appeasing Spain and himself. (To be continued...)
