MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 54 New Granada and the Ottomans

Just like following in the footsteps of the Spanish conquistadors, after owning Hispaniola, they began to invade Mexico.

And in New Granada, now the United States of Gran Colombia, a civil war was breaking out at this time.

Its territory includes modern-day Panama, Colombia, and parts of Brazil and Peru.

This time, the Spanish government issued an official diplomatic note, and the Spanish ambassador formally held formal talks with the Colombian president.

The current Colombian president is Aquileo Parra Gomez. The president grew up in a poor family since he was a child, and grew up as a merchant in the port all the way to the president of Colombia.

The legendary experience does not mean that he has super ability. It seems that he used all his abilities to do business. In just two years, he was forced to step down because he could not deal with the rebels.

"Mr. Aquileo, this time I'm here to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain." Raniere said so, and went straight to the topic after the cold shush.

"I don't know what the Ambassador is going to discuss."

The United States of Colombia during this period was not recognized by the Kingdom of Spain as legitimate, so I don't know what to talk about.

Aquileo is unpredictable.

"Actually, this time I came here mainly because the war in Colombia threatened the safety of our businessmen."

"And citizens of the Kingdom of Spain need a safe business environment."

Before Raniere could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Aquileo.

"Are the Spaniards ready to intervene in our country's internal affairs? This is impossible."

When the powers said this, they generally meant that they were asking for various privileges, and Aguileo didn't even want to continue talking.

"No, Mr. President misunderstood what we meant. In fact, we want to help your country solve the rebellion, and what we want is just a quiet investment place."

Raniere quickly waved his hand in denial, if it is considered to be blackmail, it would be bad.

"Help us put down the rebellion? With all due respect, we will never let the Spanish army step into our country."

Aquileo was excited, which was worse than the blackmail just now.

"Your Excellency, instead of sending troops to Colombia, we can send a group of officers to help your country train the army, or even sell a batch of weapons at a low price."

"What we need is a stable environment for business investment. It is best to sign a contract to ensure the interests and autonomy of our businessmen."

Raniere waved his hand with a wry smile. He has tried his best to guide his goal to business cooperation. This president is afraid that he has a shadow on the Spaniards.

"In fact, the recent civil war in our country has made us exhausted. We need stable partners to rebuild the motherland, and Colombia, which is rich in materials, is our key cooperation target."

"Your Majesty, you only need to give a little privilege to the Spanish businessman to quell the rebels, make you a hero of Colombia, and thus keep your presidency. I think this will kill two birds with one stone for you, right? "

Corruption was never a term in the 19th century. If you can't buy a person, it's definitely not how noble his character is, but because you don't have enough leverage.

Aquileo pondered, giving the Spaniards some privileges, so as to make it easier to solve the rebellion, to make himself a hero of Colombia, and even to be re-elected president.

And the contract is not an unequal treaty, it is acceptable to him and also acceptable to the citizens.

"I agreed, but I have an additional condition. Of course, I will solve the difficulties of the Spanish businessmen."

Aquileo said.

"Speaking?"

"Spanish officers are in charge of commanding the battle and making sure the rebels can be dealt with."

"No problem at all."

The cooperation between Spain and Colombia has been officially negotiated, and the war of cultural aggression in New Spain and New Granada is ready to be fought.

……

It was almost May when the news reached Alfonso, and it had been almost two months since Alfonso got married.

The domestic railway construction is in full swing, and it is estimated that it will be completed in the next few years. Moroccan people have gradually turned from hopeful at first to despair like walking dead.

Contrary to the Moroccans, the stores of "Miss Coco" have been opened in all major cities in Spain. Women have taken off their cumbersome long skirts and generally began to try a simple and modern style.

Children also entered the school one after another, and the child labor in the factory gradually disappeared. In order to make up for the loss of cheap labor, women from the working and peasant class began to enter the factory.

Generally speaking, the whole of Spain has begun to gradually recover from the wounds caused by the war, and even began to become stronger.

"Your Majesty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Palaciides is here."

Howard pushed the door and reported that this was a rare visitor.

"Let him in."

……

"Your Majesty, according to our intelligence personnel, all European countries have started research on smokeless powder."

"And the gunpowder we sell on a large scale, foreign countries have no shortage of raw materials for compositional analysis, it may not take long for this technology to be passed on between European countries~www.novelbuddy.com~ Parachides said, Although smokeless gunpowder is compared with black powder technology, it is like elementary school mathematics compared with high numbers.

However, European countries have a complete chemical industry system, and cracking the secret of smokeless powder is hardly a problem.

"Palacides, I believe that in the past two or three years, countries will gradually develop weapons that are already equipped with smokeless gunpowder."

"But now the smell of gunpowder is strong in the Balkans, and Russia and Turkey are already at war with each other."

"What you have to do is to speed up and get large orders. During the two years when we monopolized huge profits, squeeze out their money bags and use them to support domestic development, understand?"

The replacement of old and new weapons is an inevitable thing in itself, and in the 21st century, Alfonso's mind is most not lacking in the appearance of all kinds of strange weapons.

He only needs to ask the people below, and someone will make it and put it in front of Alfonso.

"My subordinate understands."

Palacides bowed his head, it seemed that he was getting in touch with the Ottomans and Russia a little faster.

The reason why the Russians have been able to endure not to fight Ottoman until now is because the British support Osman is inseparable.

Article 8 of the "Paris Peace Treaty" expressly stipulates that the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire is guaranteed.

But this does not prevent the Russians from supporting their younger brother. The Balkans are still at war with the Ottomans. Of course, some of them are not countries, but the national rebels of the Ottoman Empire.

The new sultan of the Ottomans is mentally ill, there is a large-scale famine in the base camp of Anatolia, and the rebellions in the Balkans are one after another. The Russians will not miss this opportunity for revenge.
