Restart Spain Chapter 40

The grand military parade is over, and the streets are still covered with red and yellow flags of all sizes.

At this time, Alfonso was meeting with Disraeli, Prime Minister of the British Empire, in his reception hall.

"Hello, Your Majesty the King."

Disraeli bowed slightly to show his respect. The British Empire is also a monarchy, and the etiquette that the monarchs of other European countries should have is still needed.

"Hello, Prime Minister Disraeli, please say hello to Queen Victoria for me. I admire her reputation very much."

Alfonso also smiled politely and responded.

"Your Majesty, although the relationship between the two countries is very good, what Your Majesty has done recently has made the people of our country feel unfriendly."

Disraeli meant something. Although the Portuguese were not far behind in Spain, they were not much valued by the British, but it was a little unreal that they were suddenly snatched by the Spaniards.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think this is the choice of all the people on the peninsula, and I don't think Spain's strength can compete with the British Empire, right?"

Alfonso said with a smile, it would not be ashamed to say the words of the British Empire in this era.

"Your Majesty, what you did in the past can be regarded as a provocation by the British Empire."

Disraeli's words can be said to be a naked threat, but now Alfonso and Spain have nothing to do about it.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, our country just wants to give the people better terms of trade. Apart from Portugal, I think there will be many opportunities for cooperation between our two countries."

Alfonso spread his hands helplessly and said that the British tiger whiskers are really untouchable at this time, so he can only change the subject.

"I think the two countries can completely reach an agreement on the issue of the Americas. Whether the Americans are too close to Cuba or Canada, this completely threatens our interests."

The British will not die in splitting the United States, but the French, who have little interest in North America, are dedicated to helping the Americans to fight against the United Kingdom. The threat of the United States to Canada can be said to be like a needle in the throat.

The United States is a much bigger threat to Canada than Cuba, and there are countless conflicts between the two countries.

"But Your Majesty, but with the power of the United States, it cannot have a serious impact on the British Empire, and the British Empire does not need to rely on the power of other people."

Disraeli's mouth showed a trace of disdain. He didn't believe the Americans would pose a threat to them.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Americans have a huge territory, and the population growth rate is several times that of European countries. Countless European talents have immigrated to the United States.

The Monroe Doctrine even made these Americans regard the entire America as their sphere of influence. They dared to oppose the French ten years ago, and now they may not dare to oppose the British. "

The appearance of the Monroe Doctrine was actually directly related to the British. In order to prevent Spain from restoring its **** over the Americas,

In the Monroe Doctrine, European countries were prohibited from continuing to colonize Europe. In fact, it was against the French helping the Spaniards to restore colonial rule.

Around 1823, Russia, Austria, Prussia and other countries supported France in sending troops to Spain to suppress the revolution, despite British opposition.

The United Kingdom was focused on balancing the continent, and checking and balancing France was the top priority at the time (because Germany was not yet unified). The Holy Alliance supported France in sending troops, which the United Kingdom did not want to see. Would the United Kingdom allow France to help Spain recover its colonial rights in South America?

In the face of the booming British, the United States decisively threw out the Monroe Doctrine and sided with the British.

Otherwise, how could the strength of the United States at that time be able to call out the slogan of the Menlo Doctrine, which would only make people laugh.

Today is different from the past. The growing strength of the Americans has made the British feel threatened, and the Monroe Doctrine has changed from a stand-up sense to a real threat.

In 1870, President Grant's high-profile speech made the Americans more adhere to the Monroe Doctrine.

"Now that Spain's restoration of South America's rule is nothing short of a dream, and the ambitions of the Americans are well known, we should unite our position in the face of the threat of the Americans, what do you think? Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Alfonso does not shy away from this history. He believes that even if he does not speak about it, the British can think of the truth. Historically, the British have done a lot of actions in the United States.

"Your Majesty Alfonso, it seems that you have persuaded me, but how should we cooperate, or how to check and balance the Americans together."

Disraeli spread his hands, expressing that he was persuaded by Alfonso's words.

"It's very simple, when the Americans pose a threat to our American colonies, maybe we can unite to exert pressure on the Americans, and if necessary, even form an alliance to wage war against the United States."

There are not many countries in Europe that can interfere with the United States, but Spain, which happens to have Cuba on the edge of the United States, is one.

"Your Majesty Alfonso, after I get the Queen's approval, maybe we can formally sign the contract."

The Spaniards have their own selfishness, of course Disraeli knew that, but in the field of foreign affairs and politics, as a British, he believed that he would not let the Spaniards take advantage.

The funny thing is that not long ago they promised the Americans the interests of Spain~www.mtlnovel.com~ and turned around and were ready to cheat the Americans.

Of course, the British Empire didn't cheat teammates once or twice, and Americans should feel comfortable with it.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation in advance, Your Excellency."

Alfonso stretched out his hand, and the two held it together.

President Grant, who was still in Madrid, knew nothing about the filth between the two countries, and he was worried about the American Army.

There are three or two stragglers in the United States. In contrast to today's Spanish Army, Grant was completely beaten. He really felt the gap between the Americans and the European powers.

This makes him, who pursues the Monroe Doctrine, worry about gains and losses. With the weak military strength of the United States, it is estimated that it is difficult to fight against the major European powers.

He couldn't help thinking of his good friend France, a selfless and good person who contributed to the unification of the United States during the Civil War.

If the French are invited to train the U.S. Army, maybe there will be a great improvement?

President Grant was lost in thought...

Alfonso knew nothing about the comparison. The successive reconciliation between the French and the British can be said to have won a relatively stable development environment for the Spaniards in the future.

In Spain, the westernmost part of Europe, the only two threats are the French and the British.

If other countries want to intervene, they must first ask themselves if they can get out of the hands of the Spanish Navy.

But I believe that with Spain's war on Morocco, the French will definitely make moves, and it will take some preparation to stabilize and transition.

In addition to Egypt and Morocco, North Africa is basically regarded as a backyard by the French, and the Italians are also struggling here, being driven to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula to see the sea face to face...
