Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 62 The possibility of another American Civil War

At this time, the remarks of the Kingdom of Spain can be said to have surprised various European and American countries.

The Americans clearly doubted the British, but the Kingdom of Spain couldn't wait to jump out and exposed the Americans' shortcomings without hesitation.

In response, the British Times immediately responded:

“The rhetoric among American people is nothing but nonsense, and supporting Indians does not do us any good.

Moreover, Americans seem to have the ambition to peek into the Cuban colony of our British Empire. "

“The Kingdom of Spain’s righteous speech makes us in the British Empire want to re-examine this relationship.

Today, when all European countries are silent, it seems that only the Kingdom of Spain has made a fair statement for our British Empire. "

The British "Times" did not react much to the opinions of American people. Instead, it seemed to be more interested in the opinions of the Kingdom of Spain.

At this time, the citizens of the British Empire couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

In the past, Britain and Spain had a long-term war of words because of the Kingdom of Portugal.

It's as if a person who has always been regarded as your enemy suddenly speaks for you one day, which can't help but surprise people.

But the Americans' remarks also angered the proud citizens of the British Empire. Looking at those ignorant Americans, they seemed to have no idea how much they weighed.

Most officials in the United States are Europhobic. Likewise, most countries in Europe look down upon Americans.

Apart from their economic strength, European countries do not take Americans seriously.

In comparison, the status of Central and South American countries is even lower than that of Americans, and people of color are uniformly classified as indigenous.

People in the British Empire also followed the example of Paris citizens and began to march collectively to express their anger against the Americans.

For the proud British people, even if we really bully you, what can you do?

The glory of the British Empire cannot be desecrated! These North American scoundrels dared to accuse the British Empire even without evidence.

The British Embassy in the United States has officially begun to put pressure on the United States, even though the U.S. government has never mentioned Britain's name in all walks of life.

At this time, President Grant in the White House breathed a sigh of relief.

If nothing else, it finally diverted the attention of the American people.

As for this year's presidential election, it is unknown whether anyone will make a fuss about it.

…………

In its original history, 1877 was a period when the United States was infinitely close to the Second Civil War.

The Northern Republicans lost the 1876 presidential election to the Southern Democrats by a slim margin of one percent.

In the end, they actually gave up the rights of black people in exchange for the Democratic Party supporting a Republican president.

Yes, the black people who had been liberated after so many years of the American Civil War were once again trapped in oppression.

After the Republican troops withdrew, southern farmers intensified their oppression of black people.

If it were not for this crucial exchange of interests, the start of the Second Civil War might even have been avoided.

With the second chance, the British don't know if they will let them go easily, and the French, who are restrained by the Germans, have no spare power to help the northern Republicans.

Of course, these things have not happened yet, and the American media is still engaged in a war of words with the British and Spanish media.

…………

“Far away in Montana, in the inland northwest of the United States, the only country with the ability and conditions to transport supplies is the British.

Even if they deny it, their suspicions still cannot be cleared up. "

“As for the Kingdom of Spain, the actions of the United States against Cuba that were mentioned before are simply nonsense.

Because the United States does not have strict jurisdiction over firearms, it is likely to be the private behavior of smugglers.

Therefore, the remarks of the Kingdom of Spain can be regarded as a provocation to our country, the United States of America. "

"This is the interference of traditional Western powers in my country's internal affairs, which is an out-and-out suppression of our country's strength.

But we, the United States of America, are not that weak to be bullied. All American citizens will work together to resist this threat. "

The New York Times reported this.

Because it was an unofficial newspaper, the content mentioned the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Spain without hesitation.

And in order to win the attention of the American people, he even dared to say that he was not afraid of any challenge.

In this regard, the U.S. government is like a mute eating durian, unable to express its suffering.

The domestic media speaks for the country, so they can only secretly remind them to keep a low profile. The arrogant United States dare not say so. It can face the pressure from Britain and Spain at the same time.

Regarding this matter, all European countries are happily eating melons. This is a big melon that has not been seen for a long time since the last Near East crisis.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, I think this cooperation between our two countries has achieved what we want!"

Alfonso looked at the British Ambassador Harrison in front of him with a smile.

After all, the Kingdom of Spain acted as a front-row younger brother to the British Empire, which was considered as giving the British enough face. "Of course, Your Majesty Alfonso.

But the American counterattack will come soon. I hope that your country can still be on the same front as us. "

"It's natural."

The two of them laughed even more happily.

"But Your Excellency Ambassador, according to information from our internal intelligence officers in the Kingdom of Spain, the Democratic Party in the United States has not been very peaceful recently."

In this regard, Alfonso said meaningfully.

"I wonder if His Majesty Alfonso has obtained any latest information?" Harrison asked curiously.

“If our country’s intelligence personnel do not predict it, the Republican Party may not have as high a support rate as the Democratic Party in the general election at the end of this year.”

“The Democratic Party intends to elect Dearden, who purged the New York corruption group, to run, and they have been preparing since 1861.

They seem to be preparing to launch an attack this year. After all, the corruption of the American Republican Party is too serious, isn't it? "

In this regard, Alfonso said somewhat playfully.

If we look at the current situation, we don’t know what will happen if the Democratic Party comes to power, but it will definitely cause chaos in the American political situation.

After all, in the original history, the Democratic Party, which was destined to win the presidency, missed the opportunity due to the Republican Party's petty tactics, which made countless Democrats angry.

At that time, the Democratic Party had begun to contact the army and was ready for war at any time. In the final negotiations, the Republicans compromised.

They gave up re-election, and the federal troops in the South were announced to be withdrawn, stopped promoting racial equality in the South, and stopped providing help to the black power movement in the South.

It can be said that the United States has never been so close to the second civil war, which has also resulted in the status of blacks in the American South not being improved.

The most serious thing is that after the compromise between the two parties, the United States, with no internal conflicts in its way, began to develop at an alarming rate.

And it also focused its energy abroad. In the end, the United States focused on the already declining Kingdom of Spain. This also led to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898.

"Sir Harrison, if our two countries can cooperate and control it well, it can even directly lead to the outbreak of the second Civil War in the United States."

Alfonso stared directly at British Ambassador Harrison. The words that came out of Alfonso's mouth frightened Harrison.

"Your Majesty Alfonso, this matter has a great impact on our British Empire. I must report this matter to the country.

We in the British Empire will not miss this opportunity. But first, Your Majesty must be able to convince our Prime Minister! "

"I think Prime Minister Disraeli of your country will be very interested in discussing this issue."

After all, Harrison's rights are not that great yet.

This matter can only wait for Harrison to report to the UK. The final decision was made by Prime Minister Disraeli.

"I am very confident about the cooperation between the two countries this time. Then I will wait for the good news and the letter from your Prime Minister."

After all, the British Prime Minister Disraeli at this time was an out-and-out imperialist.

Moreover, in the original history, Disraeli was very aggressive in his foreign policy towards the United States.

This was the last chance to divide the United States, and Disraeli would never let it go.

Even if the British eventually disagree, Alfonso will find ways to cause a civil war to break out in the United States.

After all, the United States where I grew up was really terrible.

In the near future, the population of the United States will exceed the 100 million mark, and it will also surpass the United Kingdom and become the world's largest economy.

Britain was able to become a world hegemon mainly through colonization and trade, as well as the world's number one Royal Navy.

But the British colonies will become independent sooner or later.

Due to the small area and small population of the British mainland, without the support of the colonies, it would decline rapidly.

In the end, Britain will become the goalkeeper of a first-class country as it has historically been.

In its original history, with the independence of India, Britain lost the origin of raw materials and the dumping market for products, and it declined rapidly.

However, the United States is different.

The United States has a vast land area and a sufficient population, as well as the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, two natural barriers.

Moreover, the land in the United States is very fertile and can develop good agriculture and animal husbandry. It also has a large amount of natural resources such as gold mines, silver mines and oil.

There are not many powerful countries around the United States, as long as the internal political contradictions are resolved.

Relying on its rich local resources and huge population, the United States can develop quickly and become the world's largest economy and the world's largest industrial power in its original history.

The potential war power of the United States is simply too strong.

In order to prevent the rise of the United States, Alfonso will do whatever it takes to provoke the outbreak of the American Civil War.

After all, a divided America is the best America.
