Chapter 12 When the Wall Falls, Everyone Pushes Back

Although the evolution of various political systems seems complicated, it is ultimately caused by the people's dissatisfaction with the authorities.

This actually means that whether it is a monarchy or a parliamentary republic, there is actually no difference between good and bad.

The most fundamental problem is whether the needs of the people can be met, which will evolve into Europeans' dissatisfaction with the authorities and the government, and is also the real reason for the revolution.

If the Spanish government can pay attention to the current situation of the people and introduce some policies to improve the lives of the people as much as possible, perhaps such a revolution will not happen, and the monarchy in Spain can continue to exist.

This also means that the problems in Spain are actually very serious. The people are already hungry and can't live, so the revolution broke out.

And Carlo's report published in the newspaper is to go deep into the Spanish problem itself, that is, the most fundamental demand of the Spanish people, that is, to improve the quality of life.

Eating bread and drinking milk, although this seems to be a very normal request, it was very difficult in 1868 more than 100 years ago.

Even simplifying it by two levels, becoming the simplest eating and drinking, the Spanish royal government cannot meet it.

What Carlo had to do was to put all the blame on Queen Isabel and the Bourbon dynasty, and whitewash the monarchy as much as possible.

Later, on November 30, 1868, in Madrid, Spain.

"General, there is a report from Italy that needs your review."

After a busy day, Primo was about to finish his busy work, but was interrupted by a sentence from his subordinate.

"A report? From Italy?" Primo was a little surprised and asked, "What wind can blow the Italian report to Spain?"

"It's a report about the monarchy and the republic, general." The subordinate handed over a newspaper with a clear headline in the middle of the newspaper: "We need bread, not a republic."

"Interesting." Primo didn't intend to take the newspaper, but after seeing the headline on the newspaper, he took it and opened it to read.

This report was reprinted by a tabloid in Madrid, and the Italian was translated into Spanish, so that the Spanish could understand the report.

"How is this report spreading in other places?" After Primo read the entire report, he suddenly asked a strange question.

"In addition to a small-scale spread in Madrid, it has also spread in Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Valladolid, and newspapers have reported such news."

Primo smiled, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, and said jokingly: "It seems that someone deliberately let this report appear on my desk."

"General, I..." The subordinate was about to explain, but Primo interrupted him and said with a smile: "Okay, of course I believe in your loyalty.

What I mean is that I am afraid that someone has already set his sights on Spain. A report from Italy can be spread in so many cities in a short period of time. Widely circulated, it proves that the enemy is definitely well prepared.

If it is a coincidence that this revolution happened, it would be fine. If our revolution was predicted by the guy behind it, it would be really worrying. "

Looking at his worried subordinate, Primo patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, I don't have any doubts about you. Now I will give you a task. You go to Italy to investigate the source of this report, and then find out all the people in the newspaper."

Although he was wondering who wanted to use this report to do something, this report was still very useful to Primo at present.

The simplest example cited in it cannot be refuted at all, because at this time, the powerful European countries were all monarchies.

This also helped Primo to extend the new government to constitutional monarchy, and to realize his own reform of Spain by concentrating power in the national government.

Why did Primo oppose the republic?

Because the republic proposed by the peasants and workers was a loose Spanish federation. This will not only set off waves of independence in various regions of Spain that already have the intention of independence, but also make the Spanish government lose control over various places.

The reformists want a stable government to implement reforms, not a decentralized and chaotic government, which is why Primo finally chose a constitutional monarchy.

As one of the most powerful people in the Spanish revolutionary team, Primo's opinion has a great influence.

The Spanish provisional government did not stop the spread of this report, and even the big capitalists helped the report spread to more Spanish cities behind the scenes.

Thanks to the heated discussion caused by this report, the Spaniards also began to discuss the pros and cons of the monarchy and the responsibility of the overthrown Queen Isabel II.

It is impossible to save the country in times of crisis, but the capitalists are too good at shirking their responsibilities.

Since Queen Isabel has lost the throne, and the provisional government has no intention of welcoming back Queen Isabel or Prince Alfonso.

So why not add insult to injury at this time? Do you have to wait until others transfer all the responsibilities to yourself and the damn queen before you stop?

For their own interests, capitalists will not show any mercy.

Starting from December, the climate in Madrid becomes colder, at least for the diehard fans of Bourbon.

Isabel II's reputation can no longer be described as bad, because her reputation was already quite bad before.

The anger of the people was transferred to Queen Isabel by capitalists and some nobles with ulterior motives. Those factory owners and nobles who had madly exploited the Spaniards at least didn't have to worry about being shot in the back.

But this was not a good thing for Queen Isabel who was far away in France, because she was still thinking about finding an opportunity to restore the throne.

However, not all nobles were happy at this time. The Carlos faction, who came from the same family as Queen Isabel, was not in a very good mood at this time.

Queen Isabel's bad reputation affected the Bourbon dynasty. As a member of the Bourbon dynasty, "Carlos VII" was no less troubled than Queen Isabel at this time.

More importantly, after many generations of inheritance, the Carlos faction was no longer recognized by most people.

Especially after the Second Carlos War, "Carlos VI" came to power and became the ruler of the Carlos faction.

But within a few years, the self-proclaimed King of Spain was arrested by the government army, and "Carlos VI" was forced to give up his right to inherit the throne.

Juan, the younger brother of "Carlos VI", took advantage of the situation and became "Juan III", the King of Spain claimed by the Carlos Party without any preparation.

But the Carlos Party did not support the "king" who picked up the crown. In addition, "Carlos VI" was released soon after being forced to give up his right to inherit the throne, and the Carlos Party had a situation of two kings coexisting.

The support of the Carlos Party has been reduced again and again because the king who was not recognized by the majority and entertained himself and had such a situation of two kings coexisting.

Although "Carlos VI" died soon without descendants, "Juan III", the so-called claimant to the throne, still did not receive strong support from the Carlos Party, which also led to the fact that the Carlos Party was unable to stop the Spanish Revolution and had no power to push "Juan III" to the throne.

Since starting his own public opinion campaign, Carlo has always focused on the situation in Spain.

After learning that the report was widely reprinted and spread across Spain, Carlo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Carlo began to worry again.

Such an action is completely different from history, and the fact that the report was widely spread in Spain must be more than just Carlo's contribution.

If it had a good effect, it would be fine. If it had an impact on the situation in Spain and made Spain move towards a republic, then Carlo would regret it.

But now Carlo has no better solution. He can only pray that General Primo, who historically supported the monarchy, can be as powerful as in history, win the majority of seats in the Spanish parliamentary elections, and become the prime minister of the Spanish government in one fell swoop, controlling the entire Spanish government.

Asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, and asking for follow-up reading and investment.
