Restart Spain Chapter 37

"Canovas, I want to hold a grand ceremony to honor the martyrs. What's your proposal?"

In the reception hall, Alfonso turned the pen in his hand and asked Canovas.

"Your Majesty, why don't we hold a military parade to honor the martyrs? We didn't hold a military parade on the National Day on October 12, and Christmas and New Years are coming soon."

Canovas replied that the National Day military parade is a tradition, but it was not held this year, mostly due to the influence of religious rebellion wars.

"The military parade is feasible, but this is the first time to pay homage to the martyrs, and it is also the first military parade after I ascended the throne, so I hope the scene must be grand."

Alfonso nodded in approval. Military parades were not uncommon in 19th century Europe.

"That's Your Majesty, but what day should the military parade be?"

Canovas asked, this matter can only be left to Alfonso XII to decide.

"New Year's Day, January 1st, let everyone have a good Christmas at home. We'll have a big reading on New Year's Day."

There are less than 40 days left until January 1st. The time to complete all preparations in such a short time is extremely tight.

However, according to the infantry training manual, the troops are strictly in the front line and standing in the military posture, and a little training is enough. In this era, the requirements for uniformity are not so strict.

And what government officials need to do is to perfectly combine the military parade with the memorial ceremony.

"Let people start preparations quickly, and the time is tight. In addition, let Le Monde report on the military parade on January 1, and leaders of European countries also send invitation documents."

In any case, the shock of the Spanish Army, which has undergone modern training, is unparalleled, and Alfonso wants them to appreciate the style of the world's No. 1 Army.

This is a modern army that has broken away from the ranks of the classical army lined up to be shot. Alfonso has never been stingy to show his power to others.

The next day in Spain, the headline of the newspaper Le Monde was marked in black letters, "A military parade in memory of the martyrs will be held on January 1."

As soon as this news came out, the people all over the place were boiling. The reputation of Spain's No. 1 army in the world has been spreading for a long time, but they have not really seen it.

People from all over the country rubbed their palms and rubbed their shoulders, preparing to go to Madrid to have a look.

The location designated for the military parade is Castile Avenue in the center of Madrid, and the Plaza Coblon Square, the Spanish military parade venue, has not yet been established.

Start from Via Castile and head to the Church of San Isidro on Via San Isidro.

San Isidro is the legendary patron saint of Madrid, and the temporary storage of the ashes of the martyrs in this church is also good.

The citizens of Madrid began to take out the red, yellow and red national flags one after another and hang them on the windows to welcome this national event.

In the list of invited countries, major countries in Europe, North America and South America are all invited as objects.

And there are not a few countries that want to see the style of the Spanish Army, especially the five major European countries. The British don't pay much attention to the army, but they are not willing to drop the big team.

Germany, Russia, France, and Austria are typical European army powers and will not be absent.

Coupled with a number of small countries, it can be said that this military parade to commemorate the Spanish martyrs will become a stage for big countries to gather.

So this military parade can't be said to make any mistakes, otherwise it will definitely make a big joke in front of the world.

Similarly, if this military parade is a great success, Spain's prestige and global influence will also be greatly enhanced.

A military parade can also bring in an order of arms. In comparison, the cost of a military parade is completely insignificant.

Light industry plays an important role in the country's stable and sustainable economic development, and heavy industry, after having absolute advantages over other countries, is an absolute sharp edge for the country to become rich.

The profits brought by heavy industries such as arms are enough for Spain to develop light industry relatively easily, so that the country can really get on the right track.

And sticking to the military lead and giving up this opportunity to revive the economy is what Alfonso doesn't want to see.

Because no matter how you defend it, every country in the world will build equally powerful weapons one after another.

Under the influence of the military parade, the news of Isabella's expansion of the Red Cross can be said to be ignored.

Today, in the 19th century, people have the greatest tolerance for women's work in nurses and the like.

At this time, in a residence of Isabella in Madrid, Isabella was meeting with more than a dozen noble ladies.

Isabella usually lives in the Royal Palace of Madrid, but there is also a residence in downtown Madrid.

"Sisters, His Majesty the King has agreed to expand the size of the Red Cross to allow more women to get jobs."

Isabella stood a little higher and said to these women that they were all a group of people who supported Isabella's feminist movement.

"So regarding the recruitment, sisters need to help you, and you must grasp the quality of personnel. This is the key for us to set an example for all women."

A dozen people in the audience looked at each other in dismay, and then burst into cheers.

"Then Your Excellency, how should recruiters choose~www.mtlnovel.com~ We can carry out the action."

Countess Montezuma said that her husband is the mayor of Madrid, and he is second only to Isabella in this group of people.

"How to be excellent, there is no way to ask for work experience, so we choose young and beautiful, hard-working and hard-working. In order to leave a good influence on the outside world, we have to do this."

Isabella said, this is also a helpless move, and looks can indeed affect a person's mood.

"In addition, we need to find a group of experienced nurses to train them, and that will trouble you, Marquise of Osorio."

In the crowd, the Marquise of Osorio smiled faintly. Her family runs a hospital, and this one can be pinched with a handle.

"Does anyone else have any opinions? It can be said that it is our revolution now, and everyone must leave valuable opinions."

Isabella looked around and asked everyone.

"If we set an example, how should we guide women to more jobs, how we just let women have more nurses to do, it would be too unwilling."

asked the Countess of Montemazou, who seems to be really working hard for women's rights.

"When the time comes, I and His Majesty Alfonso will demand more jobs for women. As long as we can do well, there is no reason for men to stop us."

After speaking seriously, Isabella looked at everyone.

"Then how can His Excellency the Prince guarantee that His Majesty the King will agree?"

Isabella turned her head to look at Countess Montezuma, smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Because the king supports us, and I just help the king act."

"Wow!"
