Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 75 The Current Situation of the Kingdom of Spain

"Recently, the Royal Spanish Government has officially established an organization specifically to rescue Spanish people: the Spanish Relief Society."

"His Majesty King Alfonso personally ordered its establishment. The main purpose of the Spanish Relief Society is to help those Spaniards in need."

“Whether you are an elderly person who needs care, a patient who needs to be visited, or a disabled person who cannot take care of himself.

After the Royal Spanish Government establishes a local rescue association, it can seek help from the rescue association. "

“And all this is because of our King Alfonso of the Kingdom of Spain.

His kind Majesty Alfonso did not want to see his people living in dire straits. "

“After all, the number of people His Majesty Alfang and the Royal Government can help is limited.

To this end, His Majesty Alfonso himself appeals here, whether you are young or old, man or woman. "

"His Majesty Alfonso hopes that we can be there to help those in need."

The new issue of the Spanish newspaper Globo has officially announced the establishment of the Spanish Rescue Society.

Only when publicity spreads will people start asking for help. People in desperate situations will grasp at any straw to save themselves.

"His Majesty Alfonso is indeed a good man. Since His Majesty Alfonso came to the throne, many new things have appeared around us."

A blacksmith shop in Madrid, the capital, was chatting with customers who were reading newspapers.

He started making swords and other things for people from his ancestors. Later, the rise of gunpowder allowed his family to start making farm tools. It can be said that it is an old craft that has been passed down for a long time.

"Indeed, never in Queen Isabella's time had so much changed."

This guest didn't have the courage to directly call Queen Isabella stupid, but he still had the idea to make insinuations.

It was different from the chaotic palace life during the reign of Queen Isabella.

There are no similar rumors about the current King. He even received a comment that he cares about his family because he personally designs clothes for his sister.

The bigger difference is that Queen Isabella, as the supreme ruler, has not done anything useful to the people.

Since Alfonso came to power, he has forcibly popularized compulsory education and established laws to protect veterans, which have more or less had a positive effect on the people.

Society, at least under Alfonso's rule, showed an initial feeling of prosperity. This was something unimaginable when Queen Isabella was on the throne.

The queen who was so happy with her achievements, besides raising male favorites during her reign, she also participated in wars against the outside world.

From countries in Central and South America, the Kingdom of Morocco in North Africa, etc.

There are footprints of Queen Isabella's conquests in these places, but there have never been any decent results.

The Kingdom of Spain has gradually changed from one of the largest countries in Europe to the unknown it is today.

"His Majesty Alfonso is particularly kind to us civilians. Whether it is compulsory education or veterans' protection, the ultimate beneficiaries are us civilians."

"With the new Spanish relief organization, it is probably because His Majesty the King is still dissatisfied with the lives of the people there, so at least I believe in His Majesty's promulgated conditions."

The blacksmith's admiration for His Majesty the King can be said to be relatively blind, and it can also be seen that Alfonso at least has a very high reputation among the people.

"Indeed, I heard it was.

Organizations established by the elderly, disabled, and sick are indeed in need of help. I also support His Majesty the King’s decision. "The customer wearing linen clothes also said the same. On the streets of Europe, the disabled and the elderly alone can be said to be the most helpless group of people in need of help.

"We should be considered lucky to be able to find such a king now. I hope His Majesty the King can live a long life and protect us for a long time."

Customers all lamented that a king who loves his people like a son is the favorite ruler of all people, and tyrannical rulers will eventually be overthrown by the people.

"Yes, yes, I wish His Majesty the King a long life."

This is just the reaction of citizens in a very small part of Madrid announced by the Spanish Aid Society.

If you zoom out across the country, you will find that many scenes are repeated.

Even now Alfonso would die immediately.

In the history books of the Kingdom of Spain, the government of Alfonso XII must also be a relatively strong one.

Although Alfonso was loved by the Spanish people. But in essence, it did not offend the Spanish nobility and the fledgling capitalists.

Not to mention the middle class. This group of people essentially regard themselves as ordinary people and are fundamentally oriented towards the rule of the king.

And Alfonso spared no effort to promote industrialization and mechanization. If the Spanish nobles want to survive, they must carry out agricultural reforms, otherwise they will only be eliminated from history.

As for the opposition to industry, now that we have seen that the British are strong in the country, almost no country and party can ban industry.

Even if no one is against you internally, sooner or later you will become like the ancient oriental countries and become the target of bullying from all countries.

Especially when the geographical location of the Kingdom of Spain is still so close.

The great nobles had to find their own way out, while the Spanish Kingdom was a relatively new capitalist.

Their development will develop within Alfonso's framework, and they will only become a weapon for a wealthy country and a strong military, rather than a cancer for the country.

Now the French are in decline.

It is precisely because the French capitalists are crooked. From a strong industrial country, it gradually turned into an illusory loan sharking empire, and the industrial economy could not develop effectively.

Alfonso can only use the experience from later generations to carry out purposeful rest for this small sapling, the capital of the Kingdom of Spain.

This can't help but make Alfonso's need for progress in internal combustion engines even more urgent. Cars, tractors, and military weapons, the second industrial revolution has begun.

Now only by seizing this opportunity can the Kingdom of Spain be able to overtake the European powers in a corner.

In the empire on which the sun never sets conceived by Alfonso, the Spanish maintained a sufficiently strong technological and industrial strength, and Latin America strongly replenished the Spanish population.

There is no shortage of Spaniards in the world, but there is a lack of Spaniards in the Kingdom of Spain.

I have to say that this is also the tragedy of the Spanish Empire

As one of the three major languages ​​in later generations, the population of the later Kingdom of Spain was only a drop in the bucket in the middle.

Even Messi, Maradona, Suarez, etc. whom we are familiar with. These are the hottest football stars of the 21st century.

Their native language is Spanish, but they are not Spanish.
