C3359 The Elegy of the Falling Empire

Spain had indeed declined. A country with an early stage The Age of Great Navigation would no longer be able to rise to prominence after being struck by the English and French multiple times consecutively.

They could not even suppress the internal rebellion, and even until the 21st century, there were still areas that wanted to leave this place!

Industrialization was not a problem. Even though it was the first country to see the world clearly, industrialization came to the end. It could not even compare to Italy, which was established after the Franco-Prussian War!

Not to mention the military side, even the last Spanish fleet in Asia was completely wiped out. The army couldn't even beat the Chinese militia who had trained temporarily.

What kind of era was this? He didn't even have the money to buy a needle and gun for himself. What kind of tyranny was this? Let's eat this shit!

At present, Spain was relying entirely on diplomacy with the European powers to keep her life by shrinking her neck in order to gain a chance at survival. However, that didn't mean she would be able to live for long.

In real history, in 1898, more than 20 years later, the United States set its sights on the old Spanish ham. In the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, both Cuba and the Philippines were robbed by the Americans.

Guam and Puerto Rico had also been ceded to the United States, which from that moment on had established a strategic Pacific ascendancy.

Now that Xiao Letian had come, this fat meat was not to be taken advantage of for free by the Americans, it had been more than 20 years since Xiao Letian made his move!

Why was it that many people did not understand why Spain had an opponent when the Franco-Prussian War was not even truly out of pocket?

Xiao Letian was not stupid, he had his eyes set on A Madiao!

Yes, the king was a famous coward in history, and the son of the Italian king was named Juan de Dios. General Prim was a part of the King of Spain, but after five years in power, the king had resigned!

That's right, you didn't hear wrong, the king can resign too!

A Madiao had a weak personality in the first place, but she also found out that this person's body was sickly. She was a patient with chronic lead poisoning, and this heavy metal seriously affected human's brain and reproductive system.

During the five years in Spain, the king had not been able to resolve the internal conflict.

There was also Queen Yi Suobeila II, who had stepped down from the throne. Although she had given up the throne, the Queen had always fantasized about his son becoming the King!

There was still a large group of civil and military officials in the country who were loyal to the Queen. They continued to create military coups that threatened A Madiao in the first place, and there were even a group of gunners who rebelled and protested.

In the end, A Madiao could no longer control the situation and could only declare her abdication and return to Italy for the next year.

But not a year after the founding of the Republic, Alfonso XII, the son of Yi Suobeila II, came to power, and the Bourbon dynasty was restored to Spain.

It is worth mentioning that this Alfonso XII did not have much ability either. It was during his reign, when the war between the United States and the West broke out, the Cuban Philippines was lost.

Sometimes, it was impossible to believe in national destiny. When a people began to rise up, the heavens would constantly give them heroes.

When a country's fortunes began to decline, a bear would rule, and a prodigal son would run amok!

It was because Xiao Letian had completely studied them that he was able to come up with such a strategy for the Luzon. Actually, his entire plan was based on the personality of these higher-ups in Spain.

The battle in the Philippines has ended. You, Spain, suffered a crushing defeat.

Spain is a country where internal strife exists frequently, even the most powerful General Prim was assassinated by the Queen's direct descendant, are you afraid, A Madiao?

Do you dare to declare war on the Chinese after coming on stage? Do you have the ability to send Expeditionary forces s again?

Poor baby, have more time to drink your own wine, such a bloody war is not suitable for you ah!

What? Are you afraid of losing face? Easy ah, I can spend money to buy it! Don't you have an excuse when you give me money?

Obedient, obedient, since that island is lost, you will not be able to take it back.

How good is it to be king of peace? Stop playing such a bloody war game!

In Switzerland, Xiao Letian had already used his full tongue to scare A Madiao, and after that the king had found many neutral scholars and experts, among them were many foreign affairs, military, economy, human politics, mountain geography and so on. Excellent talent in all fields.

Countless powerful people were gathered together to help A Madiao think of a plan. However, the result was very pessimistic, as everyone believed that Spain would not send their Expeditionary forces to defeat the Chinese.

The navy and army forces of the Philippines had been completely destroyed by two idiots, and the Chinese controlled the richest island of the Luzon, including Manila.

This meant that Spain had completely lost their advantage in the terrain. If they sent out their Expeditionary forces, it would basically mean a new war of aggression.

It was not about rescuing the city, it was purely a secondary occupation!

The Chinese Army was famous all over the world for being good at guarding. Even the French could not break through the Chinese defense lines, but Spain could?

To be able to get something in exchange for money in a situation where he was bound to lose, that was already a huge sum of money.

This era! It was not only a Great Qing that was in decline, many of the powerful countries in history had already turned into weak little white rabbits!

A Madiao's first attempt at telegraph had completely infuriated Gladstone. He could not understand, how could a good King of Spain surrender so easily!

"This is too embarrassing, this is simply a humiliation for Europe!" Gladstone whispered and cursed.

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Letian as he said in a huff, "You think you have won? Hehe … Can you think of a deal without the nod of the Spanish Parliament? "

Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter! If the Spanish Parliament doesn't accept it, then think of a way! it was nothing more than sending the Expeditionary forces to make use of the war. "

"Do you think those people in the Spanish Parliament don't know anything about their country? Haha … "With Spain's current strength, can they still fight?"

Xiao Letian laughed unrestrainedly, "Parliament? What is Parliament... It's just that a bunch of capitalists and nobles are gathered together to play the game of voting! "

"Those people would do the loss business? It's a war that they will definitely lose.

"Merchants' consideration is all about investment and output! "Not battle spirit, my old friend …"

"You!" Gladstone's nose was crooked with anger.

"Don't challenge my patience. Do you think our British Empire will just let you go?"

Xiao Letian stopped smiling and asked: "What do you mean? Is the Prime Minister threatening me? Britain is preparing for military intervention? "

"Haha, how interesting, is it that Britain is prepared to spend twenty or thirty million pounds on Spain? And ready to die for Spain? "

"Is that what you mean?"
