Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 71 Humanitarian Assistance

“The Red Cross of the Kingdom of Spain will officially depart for the Republic of Mexico in the near future.

We will send 400 experienced doctors and nurses to Mexico to help those hurt by the war. "

"The trauma that war brings to people is huge. Although we cannot prevent war from happening, we will provide help to every area that needs help."

"During this period, we solemnly remind the military of all factions in Mexico.

We at the Red Cross have no intention of getting involved in your fight. We are only going for humanitarian relief, and our personal safety needs to be guaranteed. "

"And I will personally lead the team to participate in the rescue to prevent accidents from happening."

The leader of the Red Cross Society of the Kingdom of Spain, Isabella, Princess of Asturias and sister of King Alfonso of Spain, delivered a speech in Madrid.

As a humanitarian relief organization, the Red Cross is understandable in carrying out rescue operations during wars. However, Mexico currently does not sign the Geneva Convention.

However, once Princess Isabella herself participates in the rescue, various Mexican governments will not dare to neglect it.

"Her Excellency Prince Isabella's action is the greatest help to the International Red Cross, and we offer our respect."

The International Committee of the Red Cross in Switzerland expressed its solidarity with Isabella. But in fact, it doesn't provide any substantial help.

In early 1876, the International Committee on Injury and Injury officially changed its name to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Although signed by many countries. But in fact, its international influence is not great.

Henry Dunant, the founder of the International Red Cross, maintained a life of poverty and tramp even after the bankruptcy of his factory in 1872.

Isabella's actions at this time were of great benefit to the publicity of the International Red Letter Society. A Spanish female prince is personally involved, which is the best promotional material no matter how you look at it.

Ledo, the current puppet president of the Republic of Mexico, also expressed a warm welcome to Isabella's speech.

At this critical moment when a civil war is about to break out, who can say that opposing the entry of international humanitarian organizations will probably directly reduce the morale of the army by more than half.

Following Ledo, Dias and Iglesia also announced their welcome.

These two people do not recognize Ledo's legitimate rights and interests, so naturally they can speak on behalf of the Republic of Mexico.

At this time in the Kingdom of Spain, in the Royal Palace of Madrid. Canovas is discussing government affairs with Alfonso.

"But Your Majesty, Prince Isabella seems to be really preparing to go to the Republic of Mexico. I think this may put her in danger."

Canova changed his tone and focused the matter on Isabella.

"What should I say? What danger do you think will arise?"

Alfonso looked at Canovas and asked a little strangely. “Your Majesty, although the three major factions in Mexico have now promised that they will be responsible for the safety of Prince Isabella.

But we cannot guarantee that someone will choose to attack the female prince for the sake of their own status to eliminate hostile forces. "

Canovas expressed his concerns that the King of Spain's sister had suffered an accident in Mexico.

For any politician, using the hands of the Kingdom of Spain is the best way to eradicate dissidents.

Although this may have an impact on Mexico's national interests. But for politicians, this is nothing compared to personal interests.

"If something unexpected happens to Isabella, I think even if we, the Kingdom of Spain, directly occupy Mexico, there will be no objection from any major power."

In this regard, Alfonso couldn't help but say.

Although the status of female princess Isabella is not comparable to that of a king or a prince. But her identity as the sister of the King of Spain is enough to silence everyone.

No monarch of any country would let a prince of the Bourbon family die in Mexico for no reason. Therefore, the Kingdom of Spain is not only able to make Mexico pay a heavy price.

Even, there won't be any condemnation.

Even the European troublemakers, the British, would not express dissatisfaction with the Kingdom of Spain in this matter. It will only limit the Spanish Kingdom's appetite for Mexico.

"We don't need to worry about this matter for the time being, but just in case. Let's ask the Kingdom Army to deploy a hundred soldiers to protect it!"

Alfonso directly gave the final verdict on the matter, not caring at all about what Canovas just said.

If Isabella is really innocently killed, the Kingdom of Spain will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to New Spain.

And if nothing goes wrong, the Kingdom of Spain can also gain a lot of favorability in Mexico. This has a very important role in easing the relationship between Spain and Mexico.

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

In response, Canovas bowed his head and did not continue to refute.

In the final analysis, Prince Isabella is not very helpful to the country. Canovas's reminder was just out of consideration for the royal family.

Besides, if there is really a blind person, Prince Isabella will be assassinated in Mexico.

So this is a huge opportunity for the current Kingdom of Spain. It can even be said to be the first step for the Kingdom of Spain to return to America.
