Restart Spain Chapter 47

"Your Excellency Ambassador, in fact, my love for China is not only cultural, I think the cooperation between the two countries will also bring benefits to both sides."

Alfonso said with a smile, the Huaguo market is huge, even if only a small number of people have the spending power, it is still the only market in the world.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of cooperation you want to do?"

Guo Songtao asked, the reputation of the foreign powers is not very good.

"We should ensure that businessmen of the two countries can conduct normal trade exchanges between the two places, of course, this is completely equal."

If Spanish products can enter the Chinese market, even if they can get a small piece, it will be a big cake for Spain.

"No problem, we have always been warm to our friends, and our country also hopes to conduct normal trade exchanges."

Guo Songtao had a happy expression on his face. This request can be said to be very easy.

"But the specific transaction matters still need to be discussed with Prime Minister Canovas of our country. The two of you will discuss in detail slowly. I am not that proficient in this."

Alfonso waved his hand and handed it over to Canovas.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo Songtao saluted, it was finalized.

This incident is just an episode, after all, marriage is the most important thing nowadays.

At this time, in North America, the equipment shipped from Cuba also officially arrived in Canada.

The British and Canadian Governor-General, Earl Dufferin, didn't really care about this matter, only a few thousand guns.

In 1876, Canada's Pacific Railroad that ran through the east and west had not been completed, so the cost of supporting the inland of the United States was extremely high at this time.

However, the transportation pressure is not too big, and it can be transported by the original method. If the North American Dominion informs the British government that 5,000 guns cannot be transported, the Canadian Governor General of Earl Dufferin can directly step down and retire for life.

The reason why the most advanced Vieri rifles were sent is, in the final analysis, a problem of transport capacity. The weapons that cannot be transported by a large number of manpower are a pile of broken copper and iron, and the result that the United Kingdom and Spain want will not be achieved at all.

As for asking the Indians to buy it, it is even more unreal. They are so poor that they stoned Americans, and the money from there is used to buy weapons and equipment.

"Patriarch Hongyun, the weapons have arrived in Canada. If nothing else happens, we can take over this batch of equipment within a month, but we need to step up our efforts to find loopholes on the border."

At this time, Felipe was explaining the matter in the tent of the Red Cloud Patriarch.

"Your Excellency Felipe, we have found the gap. The defense of the inland border between the United States and Canada is very loose, which is not difficult for us."

The exaggerated border line between the United States and Canada is destined to not be too stable, but life in both places is relatively stable, and there will be no large-scale illegal immigration.

"Your Excellency Hongyun, I hope you can truly regain your rights in the war against the Americans."

Having been together for so long, Felipe has some sympathy for these Indians who have been treated unfairly, even if he himself is a member of the oppressor.

"By your auspicious words, the Indians will remember your friendship."

In fact, how could Patriarch Hongyun not know that the Spaniards and the Americans are not dealing with them, but they really brought weapons for themselves to resist unfair treatment,

In any case, the Red Cloud Patriarch, who is an Indian, will remember this kindness, although it may not be of any help to Spain.

"Patriarch Hongyun, if you have achieved outstanding results in the war against the Americans, the British next door would not mind helping you in order to cause more trouble for the United States,

These British guys are the masters who don't see the rabbit but not the eagle. This is the most I can tell you as a friend. "

The War of Independence fought with the British. In the Second War of Independence, the British burned the White House. In the Civil War, the British supported the South.

As long as there is an opportunity to weaken the United States, the British will never be soft-hearted, which is why Felipe can say this.

"Thank you." Patriarch Hongyun said with sincerity in his tone.

The Indians are just a small **** for Alfonso, and their power can hardly have a substantial impact on the Americans.

Even Americans may use the topic to fully understand the Indians in the United States, but instead of living in oppression, it is better to give them weapons and let them rise up.

If the Americans in the 19th century were still weak and not weakened, in the 20th century, it will really be unstoppable.

Until the rise of the German Empire, the European powers continued to impose sanctions on the United States, such as economic sanctions, port blockades, etc...

The isolationist policy of the Americans kept them from participating in European affairs at all, allowing them to have a very good and stable period of development.

It can be said that the rise of Germany and its superior geographical location saved the Americans.

And if the development of Americans cannot be contained, then strengthening itself is the best way.

Alfonso looked at Africa on the map~www.mtlnovel.com~ The day when the great powers carve up Africa is getting closer, and the piece that belongs to Spain should be in West Africa and North Africa.

The French have already reached out to the West African countries. The situation in Morocco and Western Sahara is better, and Spain is obviously stronger than the French.

And if it expands further, it is bound to have a serious conflict with the French, and the only solution to avoid this situation may lie in Italy.

Libya, like Algeria, was only marginally prosperous in the coastal areas in this era, historically acquired by the Italians defeating Turkey in 1912.

The strength of Turkey is so weak that they should not continue to occupy these lands, and the French will not give up the occupation of Libya because they are hostile to their own Italy.

In exchange, Spain occupied western Algeria and joined Morocco as a whole.

This is the easiest solution that Alfonso can come up with, and the real operation still needs to be agreed with the French.

"It's really a headache."

Alfonso couldn't help but look to the east of the map. To the east of Libya was Egypt. The British Empire would never allow Egypt to be lost.

The Portuguese "pink map" plan almost gave the British Empire an ultimatum. During this period, the British Empire's dominance was indeed flourishing...

No matter how much land it occupies, Spain will inevitably need to increase its population. Too little population can only make it impossible for Spain to develop even if it occupies the land.

For the first time, Alfonso felt the pressure of being a monarch. The future development direction of a country is like controlling a sailboat. If you are not careful, you may step into the abyss...

(The comment area can help me come up with ideas, the author's brain is really not enough.)
