Ferdinand has been working hard in the past three years, and in recent times, he has been fighting harder and harder.

As a "traverser (pseudo?)" Ferdinand felt out of place in this era. Unlike in other novels, Ferdinand didn't find any friends who could really reveal his heart, and even his wife was only a close friend (but the relationship was better than the original one).

His opponents at home, his enemies internationally, fundamentally he despised, and, of course, he paid enough attention to them both strategically and tactically. There is no trembling of "peers" like the Führer and others.

Catherine the Great said that if she lived to be 200 years old, Russia would become a great empire with six capitals, bringing all of Europe under her rule (of course, this could not be done in practice, unless she was also a time-traveler).

Ferdinand had more time, and what was in his head was 500 years ahead of his time. So, despite the constant pressure, Ferdinand knew that he would eventually achieve his goal – and he never felt intimidated because of his unique advantage of the times.

The adventurous move in the Netherlands is a manifestation of such a mentality. Ferdinand planned his actions according to a relatively simple idea, and his plan can only be said to be reasonable and feasible, but it does not guarantee success.

After Philip's death, Ferdinand became more and more aware of the great uncertainty in the later stages of the project (mainly the possible intervention of France), but as long as there was a half chance of success, he was willing to do it-

After 1492, after some time, Ferdinand had figured out the cards in his hand, and he was reluctant to get involved in the European war, but even the European war he no longer felt fear. The failure of this operation, and the retreat to the Iberian Peninsula, did not prevent Spain from becoming a world hegemon in a hundred years at the latest, and he could afford to wait. With a power comparable to that of Britain and the United States in World War II, Ferdinand dared to make an attempt at a "market garden".

In normal times, Ferdinand's motivation for action was basically only three elements.

power, to hold the royal power of Spain.

ideal, and then turn it into a world empire.

A sense of responsibility to fight for the interests of the country and the people.

If one takes into account that Spain was at this time a productive backward country with feudal serfdom, and could not find a better leader than Ferdinand......

This is really an honest and selfless patriot......

Aragon's court expenses were drastically reduced (in fact, doubling, if not ignoring the king's appropriations for artisans and his own experiments).

Except for the "old friends" of the New World, such as cod and turkey, there are no new changes at the table.

The mistresses complained that the king had abandoned them.

The bishop appreciates a materialist as a model monarch for the Catholic Church.

Ferdinand was not an ascetic, but the life he wanted, the era he wanted, was hundreds of years later. He was not interested in the end of the Middle Ages, so he did his best to create the era he wanted, paying little attention to anything else, except holding the scepter tightly, and Ferdinand was not at all interested in other so-called "enjoyment" and "spice".

This leads to the following. In 1492, whenever there was a brief period of boredom, Ferdinand reflected on his past life and family.

In 1493, Ferdinand recited two lines of the life membrane. At the same time full of ambition.

In the past two years, it's all to blame for the last time he remembered watching the video of the bureau, and then he mainly recalled this, and then he was moved to a mess, and then he went to the room to batch documents and draw drawings.

……

On the night when the Aztec and Inca emperors were hugging each other, Ferdinand finally met two very bright and beautiful companions.

Being in a strange city, Ferdinand felt dizzy and blurred, unable to figure out what was happening, his body and clothing did not change much, could it be that he encountered a time and space tunnel this time, and he was "dressed"?

Before he could think about it, a fire broke out in the church next to him, and a woman was dragged out of her two-wheeled cart and stripped of her clothes in the church, and a large crowd stripped her of her body with sharp mussel shells. Blood flowed freely on the ground, shocking.

The woman was on the verge of death, but still seemed to be angrily reprimanding.

Ferdinand remembered this scene and trembled with anger.

"Let go of that professor!"

Ferdinand shouted and rushed over, not noticing that he was wielding the RPG extremely unscientifically at the same time. Before he could rush into the church, the men had already chopped off the woman's limbs with knives and threw them into the fire, and then they all exploded there with an RPG.

Ferdinand himself appeared in a square in a daze, where he saw the central one

Flame. Who's that bad guy? Grumpy Bruno?

“……”

Before Ferdinand could say those three letters, he was in Barcelona again.

Barcelona in the 21st century, where he remembers his "departure" from modern society.

Is everything just a dream?

Ferdinand didn't believe it. Rubbing his eyes, he pulled a telescope out of a drawer.

To the window, not far from the street, the crowd was bustling, and a large group of policemen were armed with shields.

Ferdinand looked through his binoculars to see the scene of an independence march in Catalonia, with the police firing tear gas and the crowd storming the police. In the face of the separatists, the Spanish police did not have the "good temper" they used in the past, and began to use hammers, tranquilizer guns and other objects.

Someone bleed, someone set the car on fire, and it was a mess that was unsightly.

Ferdinand had not yet had time to adjust his "return" mentality.

clenched his fists. "I'm going to end it all someday."

……

"I'm going to end it all someday." Ferdinand muttered, and he opened his eyes.

"What a dream."

Ferdinand looked up, a handful of drawings of the Newcomen and Watt engines on the left, and the new machine tools, tool holders, planetary gears, and crank connecting rods on the right. The world's first pendulum clock on the wall shows that he actually only took a nap for half an hour. By the way, I met with two comrades.

"I've woken up from a dream, but the world hasn't woken up yet......" Ferdinand stared out the window, where the moonlight poured in.

Thankfully, in the Middle Ages, one of the advantages of the profession of king (provided you were centralized) was that you were less likely to worry about the church getting you in trouble, or at least not dying. The position of king of Aragon, who had been excommunicated, nevertheless occupied the two Sicilies, including Naples, alive.

The results of the work in the past few days are not bad, the graphic materials about the steam engine have been finally sorted out, and the next step is to build a Newcomen steam engine to test the water......

Now, it's time to have a good dream, and tomorrow morning to continue your great struggle and wake up the world little by little.
