Restart Spain Chapter 178

Reboot Spain Chapter 178 Immigrant Voices

It has been some time since the Moroccan war, and the whole land of Morocco has fallen into a state of peace.

Although the proposal for the Spanish Fashion Festival is still being discussed in Spain, more people are still focusing on Morocco in a more practical sense.

A large number of Moroccan arable fields are now in a state of no one because of the Spanish invasion, and the original Moroccans have been secretly driven to the Sahara Desert further west.

Most of the young and middle-aged people in Morocco were brought to Spain to build railways.

This has also resulted in a large amount of untracked land in Morocco.

The fertile and charming climate of Morocco's coastal areas is almost the same as that of Spain, and some Spanish farmers have begun to prepare to immigrate to Morocco.

This is a good thing for the Spanish government. If a large number of Spanish immigrants enter Morocco, it will allow the Spanish government to occupy this land in Morocco, which will bring huge benefits.

Only when there are more Spaniards in this land can the rule of the Spanish government be better.

King Alfonso XII and Prime Minister Canovos both agreed with this matter.

After all, Morocco and Spain only face each other across the sea. If the number of local Spaniards is sufficient, Morocco can easily be classified as a local power.

For the Spanish government, this is equivalent to adding 450,000 square kilometers of land out of thin air, plus the 450,000 square kilometers of the Spanish mainland, which will break the 900,000 square kilometers mark.

Although there is still a port belonging to the Germans in the southernmost part of Morocco, it is irrelevant to the Spaniards.

After all, there is Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco.

The geographical location of Gibraltar is equivalent to the belly button of Spain's present territory, but this belly button is controlled by the British.

Although all Spaniards were angry about this territory, it was clear that Spain's military strength was not enough to confront the British at this time, and the recovery of Gibraltar was still a long way off.

Although Morocco seems to be very different from Spain in terms of territory, its huge west side and dense mountains make its actual arable land area even smaller than that of Spain.

Although the arable land used for agricultural development may not be much, the various mineral materials needed for industrial development are absolutely not lacking in Spain's present territory.

This is the advantage of the Spaniards and the disadvantage of the Spaniards. In the current situation where the productivity is still insufficient, agriculture is actually quite important for the development of a country.

In fact, for the development of agriculture, Alfonso XII did not have any good way to improve it. He could only hope that the development of mechanization would drive the development of agriculture.

Although Spanish agriculture can be autonomous, once the population starts to explode, then this self-sufficiency may have to be marked with double quotation marks.

At that time Spain will have to face the end of importing large quantities of grain from the United States and Russia.

And there will be no way Spain can change that. Although South American countries and Mexico. They are all excellent food producing areas.

So Alfonso XII has some worries, but not to the point of being very worried.

But the land on the coast of Morocco also actively attracted the impoverished peasant class in Spain.

However, since the Spanish government has not stipulated corresponding policies, although the land in the coastal areas of Morocco is very attractive to farmers in Spain,

But everyone is still discouraged, because once the land is reclaimed, but the government stipulates that it is redistributed, then they will only be busy working in vain.

The Spanish government is also aware of this situation, but the Morocco area is not completely safe. If the Spaniards immigrate rashly, it is likely to cause security risks.

This is the reason why Alfonso XII is reluctant to open the immigration policy.

In the face of this situation, we can only hope that the Spanish troops stationed in Morocco can quickly and effectively attack the guerrilla forces and young and middle-aged armed forces in Morocco.

But it is obvious that after the war and the continuous blood draw of Spanish laborers, it is unrealistic to organize a large-scale and effective assembly of armed forces in Morocco, and the remaining women and children do not have this kind of power at all.

But it is precisely this small-scale guerrilla armed force that is the most troublesome thing for the regular army, because they are small in scale, familiar with the terrain, and deeply loved and recognized by the local residents.

And as expected, the Spanish regular army was exhausted in the face of these guerrillas.

Although the weapons used by these guerrillas may be nothing more than broadswords and spears, and they can't even make up a soil gun, their extremely strange and diverse means of resistance have given well-equipped Spanish soldiers a headache.

In the face of this situation, Alfonso XII did not want to use the anti-human means of future generations to manage it.

All that can be done now is to expel them to Western Sahara as soon as they are discovered to prevent further chaos.

Most of the guerrillas involved were young and strong men, while the remaining women who were unwilling to go to the hot and rated Western Sahara desert were left there if they could marry the Spaniards.

The descendants they left behind were taught by the paternal Spaniards, and they could easily identify them as Spaniards.

In response to this phenomenon, Alfonso XII is also ready to come up with corresponding policies so that his ideal things can be realized.

And once it is possible to attract women of the right age in Morocco to the Spanish population, the increase in the number of Spanish populations will be completed in an instant.

Most of the people in Morocco are Caucasian. Whether it is aesthetics or other things, it is not much different from the Spanish.

In addition, the religion in Morocco is actually not friendly to women. Compared with their original environment,

Maybe the Spanish national environment is more free. After these women really saw the free side of Spain,

Whether it will choose the original Morocco or the newly added Spain is still unknown.

The national consciousness of this period has been formed, but this only represents the major countries in Europe, and does not represent the relatively backward countries such as Africa.

This also means that Morocco does not have the same stubborn national consciousness as Europe, and the difficulty of integration is still very low in comparison.

The only problem that bothers the Spanish government may be that religion is not the same as Catholicism in Spain, which is the exact opposite of Catholicism in Morocco.

This is also the reason why the Spaniards dare not keep the young and middle-aged people in Morocco and integrate them into the Spanish ethnic group.

However, the Ottoman Empire, which is far at the junction of Asia and Europe, has come to a juncture of disintegration due to ethnic and religious issues.

Although this has something to do with the fact that there are too few main ethnic groups in the Ottomans and religions are too noisy, it still shows how different religions have a huge influence on ethnic integration.

For example, the Slavs and Latins in Europe have not assimilated them through the efforts of the Ottoman Empire for four or five hundred years.

It can be seen how xenophobic the Green Religion is and how difficult it is to integrate.

For the current Spaniards, there is obviously a more convenient and convenient way. Alfonso does not want to solve this problem as painstakingly as the Ottoman Empire.

Might as well banish all disobedient people to Western Sahara once and for all.

History has proved that as long as the people can eat well and have money in their pockets, the population explosion will definitely come.

By the 21st century, the Spanish population and the French population are not much different, and during this period, the Spanish population and the French population are almost double the difference.

In the final analysis, the reason for this is that the common people of Spain are not as rich as the common people of France.

And the population problem is a big problem for Spain. What King Alfonso of Spain should do now is to encourage fertility.

But it is clear that the price of encouraging fertility is not yet financially affordable for the Kingdom of Spain.

"One Sword Sovereign"

Since we cannot introduce corresponding policies to encourage reputation, we can only start by changing the wealth of the people.

That is to try to make the Spaniards have money in their pockets and create more job opportunities.

Therefore, whether it is vigorously developing industry or planning immigration, Morocco's strategy is to try to put money in the pockets of the people as much as possible.

The foresight of France, Britain and Germany has already told Spain that as long as industry develops and job opportunities increase, the people will naturally become richer.

However, the narrow Italy next door has twice the population of Spain.

The 19th century is not yet the era of elite education like the 21st century. In this era, as long as people can afford to raise children, they will naturally not refuse to have a new child.

As you can see in terms of population numbers, the policies of the Spanish government over the past few decades have been a complete failure.

From the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century, Spain, which was able to have a head and face in Europe, could not even be counted as a great power by the end of the 19th century.

Even after the defeat of the Spanish-American War, the Spaniards had been completely reduced to a state on the same level as the Netherlands and Belgium.

It can be said that Spain is one of the most severely declining countries in modern Europe.

But it was fortunate that Alfonso XII came twenty years before the Spanish-American War.

Spain with the Philippines and Cuba can still be regarded as a great power, not the imperialism that can only be called the second power after the Spanish-American War.

Even Spain, in its original trajectory, completely screwed up their diplomacy.

In the original history, Spain had a bad relationship with Britain and the United States and other countries, but turned to the Germans.

This directly or indirectly caused the Spanish kingdom to lose all its overseas colonies.

This is why, although Spain did not participate in the 1st and 2nd World Wars, it still favored the Germans.

Even France, which has always been good friends and belongs to the same royal family, has been arguing over the Morocco issue.

No matter how weak the country is, it also failed completely in terms of diplomatic strategy, which led to Spain's complete lack of leftover soup in the 19th century, when the great powers divided the world.

The Germans can still acquire some African colonies by virtue of their strong strength.

Portugal and Belgium, which are close to Britain and France, have eaten a lot in Africa with their weak fruit.

Regardless of the diplomatic choices, it is now the most important thing for Spain to set about building up its power.

Spain's population is the biggest constraint on military power and economic development.

As long as Spain's population can reach the level of France, even if it is as strong as France in the face of Spain, it can only obey its promises and dare not show any slights.

You know, once France has a bad relationship with Spain, it means that he will face the dilemma of being attacked by enemies on the European continent.

Look at Germany, Italy, AustriHungary and Spain behind France.

Just know that today's France is absolutely impossible to offend a stable rear because of the slightest interest in North Africa.

Now, under the leadership of Alfonso 12, the Kingdom of Spain has begun to slowly revive. Although it is not obvious enough, it is enough to alert the French. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

This is why Alfonso XII dared to directly carve up Morocco, which has been designated as a sphere of influence by France, at the negotiating table.

You must know that under the action of the subsequent powers to divide up Africa, Spain only got a pitiful point, the port on the northern coast of Morocco.

This is also because the strength of Spain is too weak, and even the French do not pay attention to it.

Therefore, the increase of the 450,000 square kilometers of land in Morocco is definitely a great thing for the development of the Spanish population.

The growth of the connected land also means that the area of ​​the Spanish mainland has been expanded, which means that the upper limit of the Spanish population has once again been broken.

Therefore, it is extremely important to digest Morocco's land as soon as possible to enhance its economic strength and increase its population.

Other parts of North Africa, such as the Sahara Desert, are completely out of the Spanish government's consideration.

These areas have no resources, and the living environment is still extremely bad. Even if they are added to the Spanish territory, it will only add to the burden.

Instead of risking the death of the French, it is better to have the best of Morocco.

As long as the Moroccan area can be completely digested, the area of ​​the Spanish mainland will increase to as much as 900,000 square kilometers.

Although half of the territory is not in Europe, the two sides can actually be regarded as connected.

And this area will directly exceed the continental area of ​​all countries in Europe except Russia.

And this small 900,000 square kilometers of land is the cornerstone of Spain's future development.
