C3359 The Elegy of the Falling Empire (1/2)

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?
