Chapter 156 The speech of the king

At the west end of Gran Via in central Madrid,

Plaza Mayor, not far south of the Royal Palace of Madrid, is located here.

After King Alfonso XII of Spain announced his speech yesterday, stands were temporarily set up here.

As the official square where the Spanish royal family often conducts royal ceremonies.

With a little modification, it is easy to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

On that day, the Plaza Mayor was densely packed with numerous Spanish people and officials who came to watch the ceremony.

At 10:00 in the morning, the whole square began to sound the solemn and loud military music.

Hundreds of children in miniature army uniforms beat drums and trumpets to celebrate the arrival of the king.

The waving Spanish red, yellow and red flag spread over the entire square.

With the sound of military music, the Spanish people at the scene were all looking forward to it.

In the crowded crowd, countless retired soldiers or citizens performed non-standard military salutes.

The children who could not see the podium at the front of the venue were riding on the necks of adults, with smiles and anticipation on their faces.

The Spanish guards who were in charge of guarding blocked the crowd.

Finally, in the passage behind the square, King Alfonso took the lead,

Followed by Canovas Palacides and other government officials.

The moment he appeared in front of everyone, Alfonso had already made a standard Spanish military salute with his hands.

In the face of the long live sound of mountains and tsunamis in all directions, Alfonso smiled and bowed, slowly turning his body to face all around, greeting all the people.

“Long live!”

“Long live!”

“Long live!”

The cheers at the scene rose again and again, causing Alfonso to straighten his back and show a hint of pride on his face.

Surrounded by a group of officials and army officers, Alfonso came to the front of the podium.

The representatives of the masses stood up and began to speak:

“My king! My countrymen!”

“According to your order, His Majesty the King, representatives of people from all walks of life gather here!”

“All Spanish nationals are united and we will follow in your footsteps.”

“All the citizens, say hello to our great king!”

“Long live!”

The Spaniards in the audience were also moved, raising their arms or waving flags!

“Long live!”

“Long live!”

“Long live!”

From the chaos at the beginning, it gradually turned into uniformity, until the whole scene only had the cries of long live.

“My Spanish youth!”

“Today, our rally here has a symbolic meaning.”

“It represents the changes that are going to happen all over Spain.”

After the voices subsided, Alfonso came to the stage and started to speak, and the people in the audience were engrossed.

“Not long ago!”

“Mass riots by Moroccan workers!”

“They caused the sacrifice of 512 heroic Army soldiers of our country!”

“We expect the people to love peace!”

“But at the same time have guts and boldness!”

The scene was silent, and so many compatriots were killed that no Spaniard could cheer.

Alfonso looked solemnly at the silent crowd in all directions.

“So now the Germans are blocking us for no reason!”

“The Spaniards will never compromise!”

“We ask all Spanish people to learn to be strong, we ask all Spanish people to be united!”

“Every Spanish soldier is an iron man capable of self-sacrifice!”

“They have indomitable will, super military literacy! And never get discouraged!”

All the Spaniards at the scene clenched their fists.

“Spain never asked the people how to do it! The people asked Spain how to do it!”

“So I will never regret the decision I made!”

“After a week, the Moroccans did not accept our terms!”

“No matter who is helping them! We will fight without hesitation!”

“In the midst of disaster, millions of Spaniards gather!”

“Let’s face the threat together!

”

Alfonso XII uttered the last sentence excitedly, and clenched his fists and waved them towards the sky.

The music at the scene sounded again, and the people waved the Spanish flag in their hands.

“war!”

“war!

”

“war!

!

”

The atmosphere of the scene was completely driven by Alfonso XII, and countless people shouted war.

All the Spaniards can’t wait to start their revenge against the Moroccans.

In the cries of war, all the people released, waving their arms, waving the national flag and singing traditional Spanish songs.

Although it is a sad thing to lose more than 500 compatriots, but now the compatriots are going to avenge them!

Alfonso XII’s speech has already expressed his determination that no matter who is blocking Spain or helping Morocco, the Spanish Kingdom will not hesitate to serve the dead people.

“The Guard is Here”

As for the list of conditions opened to the Kingdom of Morocco, it is impossible for any government to agree to it~www.readmtl.com~ Once agreed, it means that the country’s sovereignty will be lost and it will become a semi-colonial country.

Although Morocco’s current situation is nothing more than a source of raw materials and a dump of goods,

But it is still a sovereign state.

It is absolutely impossible for them to accept this humiliating treaty.

Although the speech was over and Alfonso XII officially returned to his palace, the action of the crowd on the street did not stop.

The people who have been aroused, waving the national flag in their hands, on the streets of Castile, Laión, Serrano, Alcala…

Passionate people started parades on various streets in the center of Madrid.

Cries of revenge resounded in the streets of Madrid.

“Vengeance! Revenge! Revenge on the Kingdom of Morocco!”

“Justice for the dead compatriots!”

“We face all enemies with one heart!

! ”

At this moment, whether it is businessmen, lawyers, doctors, farmers, workers, all forget their identities at this moment,

Shouting the slogan of revenge for his comrades, he remembered his most fundamental identity—Spanish.

Not to mention the whole of Spain, but the war mood in Madrid has been adjusted to the highest at this moment.

In the Royal Palace of Madrid, Alfonso couldn’t help but smile when he heard the tsunami-like sound of revenge outside the palace.

The Spaniards have not lost their blood, and they are not afraid of losing their lives in the face of external competition.

Not being afraid of war meant that the Spaniards had a way forward.

“Prepare for negotiations with the Germans!”

“Send the news that, no matter what the outcome of the negotiations, the Moroccans will not accept our terms.”

“Both sides automatically enter a state of war…”
