Restart Spain Chapter 34

That's right, Alfonso is going to build a building dedicated to the memory of the martyrs who died for Spain.

"Canovas, I want to build a cathedral in Madrid to commemorate the fallen soldiers."

Alfonso said that under the influence of cultural differences, the monuments familiar to the Chinese are not suitable for the West, and the church is the best way for the Western world to commemorate people.

"The scale of this church must be large. It must show the importance we attach to the soldiers who died in battle. The architect must be the best, and it must not be too far from the city center, so that people can go to worship."

After saying these conditions in one breath, Alfonso looked at Canovas, waiting for his answer.

"Your Majesty, I definitely agree with the construction of the church. We can build the cathedral on the edge of the city center, so that it is not only convenient for the residents to go to pay homage, but also the military parade can pass through here."

Canovas said that the city of Madrid still has vacant land. In 1883, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Almudena was built, and it still stands in the old city of Madrid today.

"Then let the Ministry of Finance allocate funds and let Le Monde face the society to recruit architects, and I will personally select their designs."

Alfonso nodded and gave the order.

And today's Le Monde, it's not about building a church.

"The latest Cuban report shows that our army defeated the rebels in just 3 days. Now the main force of the rebels has been wiped out, and our army has only lost less than 4,000 people.

The combat effectiveness of our army can still be trusted by the people, we are the world's No. 1 army! "

The Spaniards have been proud of it since it was called the world's No. 1 army. This is the only thing that Spain, which is now in decline, can take.

Therefore, whenever the battle report of the Spanish Army is reported by Le Monde, people always like to see the beautiful battles played by the Army.

European media also acquiesced to this. The Spanish Army's battle loss ratio has always been more than 1:10, which means that one Spanish soldier can defeat 10 rebel-type players.

Since I have not fought against the regular armies of the European countries, I cannot get an effective judgment.

But it is undeniable that when the armies of other European countries are placed in the position of the Spanish army, no one can say that such a battle damage ratio can be maintained under the circumstances of real swords and real guns.

This has also caused the attitude of the armies of various countries. Although I am not convinced, their record is really great. I am not convinced.

It can be said that this is the best compliment for the Spanish Army. Although the number of the army is still small, the powerful firepower and superb military quality make up for this gap.

When people were still cheering for the victory of the warriors, Le Monde once again spoke on behalf of Alfonso,

"I hope that a cathedral can be built in downtown Madrid, and I hope that it can be used to commemorate the soldiers who died fighting for our country,

Every soldier who died for the country should be remembered by people. They are all heroes of the country. When our children came to Madrid a hundred years later,

We can proudly say to our children that these are the people who died honorably for the prosperity of Spain,

Every child will remember them, this is the best reward for soldiers,

Therefore, this time, I hope that Spanish architects can actively sign up to build this building, she will be unique, so my selection will be very strict. "

When news broke that the government was preparing to build a cathedral to commemorate the martyrs in Madrid, people were talking about it, and the bigwigs in the construction industry were going crazy.

The mission given to this building is bound to make his architect famous through the ages. This is a building built for war heroes, and its significance is self-evident.

All of a sudden, the top architectural designers began to imagine their inner thoughts, and they were going to Madrid to show their skills.

In the Royal Palace of Madrid, Alfonso and Canovas face each other.

"The government needs to be responsible for supporting disabled soldiers and the families of the soldiers who died for the country. This is an urgent matter."

Alfonso's tone was firm. In this era, no one cares about veterans, which makes Alfonso unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, this will put another pressure on our country's finances. No country in the world has a policy in this regard, so we don't have to."

Canovas argues that the construction of the railway has already made the finances miserable.

"Maybe there are other ways, not necessarily a one-off."

Alfonso also scratched his head, he is in his current state if he has more than enough power.

"Maybe I can subsidize a little bit of money every month to military family members, which can spread the financial pressure."

Canovas suggested.

"If that's the case, then how much is the monthly subsidy is a question."

Alfonso nodded in approval.

"We can use the comment salary of the year to distribute the money to the families of martyrs and veterans due to injuries on a monthly basis."

Monthly distribution can not only ensure the daily life of soldiers, but it is in line with Alfonso's purpose.

"Then we will pay them a security fee every month, but we need to ensure that the money will not be embezzled by local officials. You need to control this, Canovas."

Alfonso agreed with Canovas' words, turned around and continued.

"Certificates are issued to every soldier. Families of martyrs and disabled soldiers can only get them through certificates. The details need to be improved. I want to see the detailed plan before the fallen soldiers and veterans return."

This group of soldiers who went to Cuba should be the earliest beneficiaries of the policy, and should not be described by the word luck.

No one or family members are willing to receive this security fund by themselves.

The Western policy towards veterans can be said to be appalling. In the United States in later generations, scenes of veterans being homeless often appear in various film and television dramas.

If Alfonso wants to avoid this situation, he must set up a special organization to deal with possible situations.

Isabella is just the right person, and it is indeed appropriate for a caring organization to use more friendly women.

But now that the feminist movement has not even begun, it is too far to think of women's work now.

Taking back the idea of ​​drifting somewhere, Alfonso turned to look at the document on the table again.

The top priority at this time is the construction of the cathedral and the placement of veterans and martyrs, which cannot be delayed.

If you want to further stabilize your own status and prestige, and do this well, you will inevitably make the army do what you want to do.

Soldiers take it as their duty to obey orders, but after all, they are human beings. People will subconsciously get close to those who are good to them. What Alfonso wants to do is to be the one who is good to them.
