Chapter 167 The Book of Surrender and the Future (2 in 1)
The meeting of the four countries ended in an extremely smooth manner.
The Sultan Hassan II of Morocco, who had been abandoned by his supervision, was holding a banquet in the splendid Madrid at this time, which can be said to be extremely lively.
Representatives of Britain, France, and Germany became the center of the banquet as guests.
Between planning and staggering, British Secretary of State for India Russell went to German Prime Minister Bismarck.
Accompanied by Spanish Prime Minister Canovas, the three parties came together at the banquet.
“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I wonder if the representative of the United States of America went to Berlin to visit His Majesty William!”
The thoughtful British Minister of Indian Affairs Russell looked at Bismarck and asked casually.
For the American Civil War, the British and Spaniards attached great importance to it. At this time, the Germans were the key elements in the north and whether they could resist the southern attack.
“I need to go back and ask about this, I haven’t received a notification…”
Bismarck’s eyes flashed, and he replied thoughtfully, the British and Spanish suddenly found him, there must be their intentions.
“Why is Lord Russell asking this? I don’t think Germany has the strength to support the North.”
Bismarck did not exaggerate the strength of the Germans at all. In his foreign policy, it is their basic national policy not to offend any European country easily.
“Actually, Your Excellency Bismarck, I think Britain and Spain will not block the transaction between the north and your country, but only require you to promise us a small condition.”
Russell, the representative of the United Kingdom, stated his condition, and this condition directly made Bismarck suspect that he had auditory hallucinations.
The attitude of Britain and Spain can be said to be unrestricted support for the independence of the South, which has accomplished the purpose of dividing the United States.
And now the British representative has actually said that the Germans will be released to support the North.
“Mr. Ross, this is what your country means? What does Germany have to pay for it!”
Of course, the far-sighted Bismarck knew that there is no free lunch in the world.
No matter what the other party’s purpose is, at least Germany must pay a price enough to satisfy the British if it wants to get this cake.
“Germany only needs to give the British a share of the pure profits of the arms trade, and Spain and the United Kingdom will turn a blind eye to Germany’s actions…”
Russell, the representative of the United Kingdom, talked eloquently. As for how the two sides should reach an agreement, it has nothing to do with the Spaniards.
“Spain will not part with any of the Germans’ interests in this incident?”
“And the rest will need your country to negotiate the details with the UK!”
Therefore, Canovas was born, and this time came only because Spain was one of the countries involved, and it was impossible to stay out of it.
“Yes, Your Excellency Bismarck, as long as we can reach an agreement, the UK and Spain will ensure the safety of German merchant ships on the Atlantic route…”
Seeing the Spanish Prime Minister, Canovas has publicly pledged not to divide the interests of Britain and Germany.
Bismarck was happy to see it happen, while the British were well prepared.
“Yes, Spain will not be involved in the negotiations between the two sides, but our only hope is that the two sides can reach an agreement and eat this cake together.”
With the support of Spain, the southern army must be stronger than the north.
Therefore, although Spain made money for a while, in order to stabilize the evenly matched situation in the United States, it could only rely on the Germans to check and balance the southerners.
“I wish you two a happy cooperation!”
Canovas raised his glass with a smile and congratulated the two in advance.
Although the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck was scheming, the Russell in front of him had spent a short time together.
Canovas also thinks it’s not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Although I really want to see the next direction of the two, it is obvious that the Spaniards are no longer suitable here.
Therefore, Canovas chose to temporarily hedge.
It doesn’t matter what kind of result the two sides will reach, but the Spaniard’s purpose is definitely achieved.
Although there are fewer French people in the past, the French president is obviously not aware of this.
The Spaniards and the Germans have already settled down in the civil society, and this is the best news for the French.
…
The banquet ended in a hurry, and the representatives of the three countries also returned to the hotel where they stayed.
The Moroccan turmoil is officially over.
“Sultan Hassan II of Morocco officially submitted the surrender letter to the Kingdom of Spain on behalf of the Kingdom of Morocco yesterday!”
“We have allocated a port in southwest Morocco to Germany as their compensation.”
“From today, the map we used before is already wrong, and Spain will release a new world map and a map of Spain.”
“In this war, the support of all the people and the **** fighting of the Spanish soldiers brought the victory of the Kingdom of Spain.”
“So all the Spanish people should enjoy this victory, and the whole of Spain is filled with a sea of joy.”
…
Morocco officially signed the surrender treaty, which was regarded as the vote of the day by Le Monde.
This time, not only has Spain added about 400,000 square kilometers of land, but Morocco, which is close to Chichi, has allowed Spain to be directly transformed into the mainland.
Spain has taken control and the entire Mediterranean exports all but Gibraltar.
But it is clear that the more than 2 million Moroccans left in Morocco are after all a problem that Spain needs to solve.
After a long period of labor absorption in Spain, the entire Morocco region lacks most young adults.
The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled are still easier to manage for the Spaniards.
Because even after the war ended, the fact that the Spanish treated Moroccans as prisoners of war did not spread.
However, the hatred between countries will eventually affect the import of labor, and the Spanish government is bound to come up with a solution.
Forcible levy seems to be a very good way, on the one hand, it can consume Morocco’s population, and on the other hand, it can maintain local security in Morocco.
It is foreseeable that the main force against Spanish rule in the future must be young and middle-aged people with patriotism.
“Your Majesty, I think the policy towards the Moroccans is beyond question.”
“Any Moroccan who dares to rebel against us will be taken to the Spanish mainland to work until his death.”
“And after the last Moroccan riot, I think the Spanish Army is fully prepared that this will not happen again…”
After the banquet at the Royal Palace of Madrid, Canovas suggested to the king, Alfonso XII.
“Not yet. If our recruitment policy is still effective, then I want to continue. Our recruitment is the most priority strategy.”
“Although the chances are slim, we must consider that the forced recruitment will cause a great diversion for our living strength in Spain.”
While a policy of violent oppression would be simple and effective, it would obviously also breed rebels and the rise of revolutionary ranks.
“Let’s continue our recruitment policy for a while, and if it doesn’t work, start forcibly recruiting and expelling Moroccans.”
“Start preparing for the immigration policy of the Spaniards. Only when the population base of the local Spaniards reaches a certain proportion can the place truly stabilize.”
Alfonso said in a deep voice at twelve o’clock, although there is a feeling of being a nestle, but the land occupied by the main ethnic group is the land that truly belongs to the Kingdom of Spain.
Although Catalonia has always had a call for independence, it has actually been until the 21st century,
Spain is still the same Spain, and there is no change in the slightest, which shows that most Catalans still identify with the Spanish identity.
The other Basque with the most serious tendency to independence is because the main ethnic group is too small to cause any damage to the foundation of the Spanish kingdom.
“It is His Majesty that the Immigration Department will start to prepare the immigration plan,
But obviously if there is a large group of Moroccans there who are hostile to us,
There should be few Spaniards willing to settle there…”
Canovas complied, but apparently not very much looking forward to the intentions of the Spanish immigrants.
“That being the case, then Karenwas,
We must consume a lot of Moroccan living force in the coming years so that they can no longer conduct hostile acts against the Spaniards! ”
Alfonso blinked, the meaning was already obvious,
It is nothing more than that when Morocco’s young and middle-aged people are exhausted, women without resistance will gradually integrate into the Spanish nation.
“It’s Your Majesty!”
It’s over. After the policy issue about Moroccans, Canovas talked about another issue leisurely.
“Your Majesty, during the war in Morocco, our country obtained a large number of historical relics and precious treasures from Morocco. I don’t know what we should do with these relics.
”
The treasures deposited in the Kingdom of Morocco after 27 dynasties escaped in a hurry and could not be transported at all.
This also puts this huge wealth into the pockets of the Spaniards, and what to do with them next is the real problem.
“Then how do you think this should be handled? If you have a suitable method, you might as well say it and listen…”
Alfonso said that he is still very interested in the treasures of Morocco, which represent exotic customs, culture and history.
“My suggestion is that some rare treasures can be put up for auction, and some cultural relics with historical traces can enrich our country’s museums.”
The Prado National Art Museum in Spain is an art museum that, like the Louvre, is known as one of the four major art centers in Europe.
It houses treasures and cultural relics from all eras in Spain.
Obviously, the treasures of Morocco are used to enrich the Prado Museum and further enhance the reputation of the Prado Museum is the most excellent solution.
“If that’s the case, then do as you say.”
The heritage of Spain itself made it unnecessary for him to build a museum to store these artifacts from Morocco.
“It’s Your Majesty!”
After confirming all matters concerning Morocco, the whole of Spain began a state of peaceful recuperation.
Before the Moroccan War, Spain’s unique and innovative loan policy had attracted countless European scientists and inventors to start businesses,
After the war, these small workshops and small factories began to appear frequently like bamboo shoots after rain.
And the young man who invented the mop in Bilbao mentioned earlier, his mop was welcomed by all Spanish women as soon as it came out.
It also allowed him to pay off all his loans in a short period of time.
Although the mop is only a light industrial product with an extremely low technical content,
But apparently no one had figured this out before him.
At this time, his mop has occupied the market, and anyone who wants to compete with him can only eat his share through a price war.
Another fast-growing company is Loewe in Madrid.
As traditional Spanish craftsmen, their leather bags and leather shoes have been pursued by a small number of Spaniards.
As one of the famous Spanish companies in later generations, it has already shown its great potential in this period.
Of course, with the existence of Alfonso, it is naturally impossible for him to become a giant in Spain like later generations.
In the original history, Loewe developed into the early 20th century, from the original leather goods manufacturer to the
Spanish leader in heavy industry, home appliances, aviation and shipbuilding.
Although all this contains too many coincidences, it can still be seen that this enterprise’s terrifying development ability.
In the entire world and the entire time and space ~www.readmtl.com~ there is no company that specializes in luxury goods to become a world giant like Loewe.
And because of the large number of warships and arms orders, Spain’s coal and steel shipbuilding industries have been greatly stimulated and have begun to develop at a very fast speed.
Whether it is an American order or Spain’s own military expansion, or because of the war and the expansion of the navy, this is without exception a good medicine for inducing the development of heavy industry.
Therefore, despite the stimulus of Spanish start-up loans, the development of light industry in Spain is still not as good as that of heavy industry in Spain.
Several large arsenal steel plants and shipyards in Spain are in the process of working overtime all night.
The reason that supports Spain’s rapid development is that Spain is rich in coal and iron ore resources, which is why Spain can be self-sufficient.

Although the armament of hundreds of thousands of people has gradually begun to seem unbearable, it still reluctantly maintains the normal development of Spain.
Spain must find suitable sources of raw materials before further expansion of industrial production, in order to make the domestic industry in Spain develop again.
And Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela in Central and South America are undoubtedly the best targets.
With a lot of resources, they are sparsely populated and lack capital. A large number of available resources are in a state of unexploited.
And it just complements Spain’s policy of closeness to Central and South America.
Obviously, Spain’s future strategic goals have been set, that is, to further expand its influence in the Americas and vigorously develop its domestic economy and industry.
And relying on Alfonso’s memory of the future, there will be no major turmoil in the world in recent years, which also means that Spain will have a good opportunity for development.
