Chapter 736 (1/2)
In fact, after the great Chinese Empire recovered Mexico City and the northern half of the West Indies, the kingdom of Spain did not want to use force to recover the territory that originally ”belonged” to them. However, due to the serious internal differences, the kingdom of Spain did not choose to use force at the first time.
When Carlos IV became king and decided to declare war on the Chinese Empire, the political situation in Europe changed greatly.
In order to declare war on the great Chinese empire across the Atlantic, the kingdom of Spain must make all kinds of preparations. Whether it is the mobilization of warships or the supply of various materials, it will take time.
So when the fleet of the kingdom of Spain was ready to send troops to North America, the time had quietly come to July 1789. In the middle of this month, the great revolution broke out in the kingdom of France, the godfather of Carlos IV
There is no doubt about the significance of the French Revolution, and its historical importance is not under the independent war of the United States.
As a powerful European army, great Paris, the capital of the French Kingdom, suddenly broke out a great revolution, which for the whole of Europe is undoubtedly equivalent to the outbreak of a 10 magnitude earthquake.
In fact, there was no difference between France and Spain at that time. The seven-year war and the war of independence had already caused a heavy economic burden to this country. The financial deficit of the kingdom of France was very high, and the debt exceeded two billion francs!
In 1786, a drought broke out in France, which affected the whole country. Just before the French had recovered from the severe drought, a serious drought broke out in the spring of 1789 three years later.
The kingdom of France is now in a situation of natural and man-made disasters.
In addition, the mentally handicapped Louis XVI forced to increase taxes, which aroused the anger of the French people.
As a result, a nationwide revolution broke out without warning.
There is no need to say more about the influence of the French Revolution. Anyway, when the French Revolution broke out, Carlos IV of the Spanish Bourbon Dynasty was fooled by his courtier Godoy, and Spain brazenly joined the war against the French Revolution. Anyway, Carlos IV is also the blood of the Bourbons.
Compared with the safety of Spain itself, the new Spanish Viceroy is nothing.
Anyway, the French Revolution in July 1789 completely disrupted the political structure of Europe. Of course, now that short French giant has not begun to emerge, once that short French giant stands up, then the whole Europe will tremble for it.
But it's none of my business?
This is what Shi Xiong said when he held a high-level meeting in Beijing.
This sentence also made many high-level figures of the Empire who attended the meeting laugh.
The vast Atlantic Ocean is the best natural barrier of the great Chinese Empire. In the past, in order to build an empire, the stone bear put most of the tribe's financial, material and human resources into the military industry, which led to the abnormal development of the Empire.
Now that the Empire has been established and successfully recovered the new Spanish governor region and Panama, the expansion of the empire can be stopped temporarily. Because the stone bear knows very well that if it continues to expand like this, the Empire will definitely support it.
