    "Your Majesty, this is a provocation to Spain. So, I think this is the best time for us to intervene in the Caribbean."

    Chavez said eagerly, and he continued impatiently: "If we can gain a foothold in Mexico this time, then we will completely contain the United States, and we will have no more power in South America."  No worries.¡±

    South America has always been Spain's powerful back garden, but that was in the past. Since independence, other powerful countries such as the United States have begun to take root there.  After Spain faced the civil war, under the leadership of Alfonso XIII, it returned to South America again, this time as an ally. However, this still made Spain less powerful than before.  Became one of several characters.  At most, the portion is just bigger.  In particular, apart from the four old South American allies Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Ecuador, which have already allowed Spain to station its navy and army, only Venezuela now allows Spain to station its medium-sized fleet in Lake Maracaibo because it is protecting its oil fields.  over there.  As for Colombia and Mexico, both are very repulsive to this. Therefore, as the Prime Minister of Spain, Chavez naturally will not let go of this golden opportunity. After all, Mexico's geographical location is definitely a disadvantage for Spain.  It could play a decisive role in determining Spain's strategic position there.

    If this step goes well, then Spain can truly consolidate its presence in the Americas. The question is, what decision will Mexico make in this step? Is this what Spain cares about the most?

    "I also know that this is an opportunity, but the question is. Will Mexico allow us to move there? You know, this country can be said to be one of the largest countries in the entire Americas. Only the United States and Brazil can compare in terms of population. This country is also very  is xenophobic, so I don¡¯t think that Dravala will easily ask for help as stated in the covenant. After all, this is a major national defense matter that will most likely make the country¡¯s future military command fall to us.  It¡¯s not something they can easily draw conclusions about.¡±

    As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Trini naturally sees this issue very clearly.

    Trini's words.  Everyone here agreed with it, and Chavez's previous vision was something everyone wanted to see.  The words of the two people were recognized by most people.

    However, one person is an exception.

    That person is their King, Alfonso XIII.

    Naturally, Alfonso would not have the same vision as them.  They are simply limited to the tangible benefits in front of them and forget about themselves.

    "Ahem, cough, cough." After successfully attracting attention, Alfonso said: "Have you forgotten the reasons for the series of actions we wanted to implement some time ago?"

    Alfonso hinted.

    Others also fell silent at this moment, obviously because of this issue.  Let them also start weighing the pros and cons.

    De la Valla was a little anxious in the living room, because this time things were really big. Even now, he still dare not return to Mexico City alone, because at sea, Mexico is absolutely  If it is not an American opponent, he can imagine room for expansion.  If the United States, in order to expand the panic caused by this incident in Mexico, chooses to suddenly ambush itself at sea when it returns to Mexico from somewhere in the west, so that it can be buried in the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, then it will really  have become the sinners of Mexico.

    And look around.  Spain is now the backbone of Mexico, so after he understood everything, he finally came to the conclusion that Spain is what Mexico relies on to survive this crisis.

    "President, His Majesty the King invites you"

    Under the leadership of the guards, Della Valla followed to the famous reception room of the Spanish Royal Palace, where he finally saw the leader of Spain, Alfonso XIII, again.

    The other party¡¯s age instinctively made him feel a little emotional.  But what's more, it's the admiration deep in my heart.  28 years old.  myself at that time.  I never thought I would reach this point one day.

    "The behavior of the United States this time has gone too far. I have asked Trini to draft a diplomatic declaration to prepare the strongest condemnation of the United States."

    Dravala: "Your Majesty, I"

    Alfonso waved his hand and said: "I know that this is not enough. I think that I will prepare to join forces directly with Spain's allies in a while, and Mexico will continue to threaten the United States.  joint condemnation"

    He patted Della Valla¡¯s shoulder gently and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let our good Mexican friend be upset."

    Good friends?  Dravala was a little surprised, but then he thought of something.  Thoughtful in mind.

    Alfonso didn't care about anything else and seemed to be talking to himself: "Spain has always had huge interests in South America. It began to take root in South America hundreds of years ago. Now Latin America and even North America  In the Americas, Spanish descendants are prevalent even throughout Latin America. Latin, that is, Spanish, is the official language of each country. In the United States, it is also a competing language among English, German, and French. Spanish has the largest population in Latin America.  As a country, Mexico has always been growing in importance in the eyes of the Spanish government and occupies a very important position in the Spanish government."

    Alfonso looked at De La Valla very seriously, "If the relationship between Spain and Mexico can reach a more important alliance based on a common language and common security issues, I believe that in the future competition in the world,  Especially when it comes to dealing with the United States, the two countries will be more promising. And Mexico, whether in economics or in Latin American politics, will have a strong backing like Spain."

    Is this a hint to Mexico?  Is this a strong wooing of Mexico?  Or, directly, bring Mexico closer to Spain?

    De la Vala¡¯s body trembled because he understood that this was an opportunity for him and an opportunity for Mexico.  Spain controls a large group of allies in South America. As long as these allies support it, Mexico will no longer be alone in Latin America, including South America, nor will it be like this when dealing with the United States.  The force is weak.

    But there are advantages and disadvantages. From now on, Mexico may let Spain be trapped and become its little brother, so he also hesitated.

    But Alfonso¡¯s eyes fell on a piece of paper that had just been spit out by the telegraph machine next to him, and he saw it read:

    On June 5, 1913, on Guadalupe Island, an island in the Pacific Ocean in western Mexico, all the island residents were massacred. The bodies of these islanders who made a living by fishing were confirmed by the Mexican Navy.  It was all done by the U.S. Navy, because they contained weapons from the U.S. Marine Corps and traces of the deceased before their death.
