Chapter 721 (1/2)

When Lorida Blanca, the chief minister of the kingdom of Spain, received another letter from the great Chinese Empire, he was really depressed.

At the end of last year, the Spanish fleet, which formed a three country joint fleet with the British and French, successfully returned to the kingdom of Spain, but the news they brought back was not so pleasant.

The Yanhuang tribe, which was very powerful before, was founded!

The most important thing is that before the founding of the people's Republic of China, they also taught the United Fleet a lesson, so that the high-level generals of the three countries in the United Fleet could see the strength of the newly established empire. Moreover, the powerful chief also issued a one-year notice to the three countries, asking them to withdraw from the new continent within one year.

The Spaniards are very clear that this so-called notice has the greatest impact on Spain, but they have nothing to do. Especially when count Paul Fernando and lieutenant general Peres told what they had seen and heard, the whole Spain was shocked.

Spain really can't stir up such a great Chinese Empire.

No matter who is clear, with the establishment of that powerful tribe in the new world on the other side of the ocean, that empire will inevitably have a rigid demand for expansion. However, the kingdom of Spain occupied a large part of the territory of the Great China Empire, and the contradiction between the two countries was immediately highlighted.

As a result, Spanish ministers, led by Lorida Blanca, began to look sad.

It is not up to them to decide how to get along with the great Chinese Empire, whether to fight or to fight. It needs their king, his majesty Carlos III, to decide.

However, his Majesty's situation is very bad now. At the age of 72, his majesty has no ability to preside over state affairs any more.

What can we do?

In fact, as Shi Xiong judged, although the kingdom of Spain seems to be thriving on the surface, its national strength seems to be very strong, but the ministers in charge of peacetime administration are most aware that the huge kingdom of Spain is no longer viable.

Although many historians later boasted that the 1880s was the ”golden age” of Spain, those who really knew the inside story knew that the kingdom of Spain in this era could not survive.

More than two hundred years ago, Spain was very beautiful, with its armada all over the world. However, only two centuries later, the former European and Atlantic hegemony was facing collapse.

There are many reasons for this situation, but the most important one is that the contradictions accumulated over the years begin to break out in this era.

Not to mention the most beautiful 16th century of the Spanish Empire, what happened in the past century is enough to drag this huge empire into an endless abyss.

Before the outbreak of the war of succession to the Spanish throne in the early 18th century, Spain was ruled by the Habsburg dynasty. However, in order to maintain the purity of blood lineage, the successive kings of Habsburg dynasty would not intermarry with foreigners. To put it bluntly, the Habsburg dynasty all married close relatives, and the consequences were self-evident.

For example, Carlos II, the last king of the Habsburg dynasty, suffered from severe ed because he was the product of close marriage. As a result, the king had no offspring in his life. Finally, when he died, there was no heir to inherit this huge Spanish kingdom.

As a result, the war of succession to the Spanish throne broke out, and the Habsburg dynasty was replaced by the Bourbon Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that Philip V was the grandson of Louis XIV, the French emperor
