Chapter 453: Save Cuba~

Cespedes!

Carlos. Manuel. Morality. Cespedes, this is the full name of the family, Li Mengyang's old friend, really an old friend, is the one who was with him when Li Mengyang arrived in Cuba.

By the way, he is the current leader of the Cuban independence movement, the Spaniard who rebelled against the tyranny of Spain...... Well, no way, that's it, it's just that people are now Cubans, and they can also be said to be Cuban leaders.

So what is he here for?

"Great Clint. Your Majesty Li I! Your Majesty, the Great Emperor like the Sun! My admiration for you ......"

Anyway, as soon as he saw Li Mengyang, how good he could say this, how good it sounded, let's say it, the words of praise, all the goosebumps on Li Mengyang's body were mentioned!

No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a diplomatic occasion, Li Mengyang can't say much, but when the reporter and the photo are over, then you have to talk about something serious.

"President Cespedes, what are you doing here?"

As soon as he heard Li Mengyang's question, Cespedes really didn't care about anything.

"Your Majesty! Please save our Cuban people! ”

"This ......" Li Mengyang couldn't imagine how he was now like the compassionate Guanyin?

What the hell is going on?

It's really interesting.

Before, things were not bad in Cuba, that is, the Cuban independence movement led by Cespedes, which developed very well, but their opponents were also Spaniards. I don't want to lose such a good place as Cuba.

That's it. Li Mengyang was also very touched. Let's put it this way, whoever has been to Cuba and seen the construction on the Cuban side, those majestic city defenses, fortresses, churches, it is really a grandeur, much stronger than the United States. It was truly the largest 'ancient' building in the whole of America.

Well, actually, this colonial history is really not too long......

But this is very telling that people have built it so well, it is really a last resort and do not want to lose, everyone is like this.

Therefore, although the Cuban independence movement has developed very well, the Cuban side of the Spanish forces has not been eliminated.

It's been more than ten years, to be honest. Li Mengyang really caught chickens for Cespedes, but not yet. Li Mengyang actually doesn't know the real history, that is, the matter of Cuban independence, it actually took decades to get it done, and if it weren't for Li Mengyang, Cespedes would have died a long time ago!

On the one hand, it is the tenacity of the Spaniards, anyway, they don't want to lose this Cuba, and on the other hand, it is really because of Li Mengyang!

How so?

Cheng is also Li Mengyang, and defeat is also Li Mengyang!

At the beginning, didn't Li Mengyang help Cespedes, the whole situation was very good, and later, because it was going to be transferred, didn't the empire want to support the south, let them fight the civil war well, and drag the north of the United States, so, in this way, Cuba can get considerable benefits!

This interest is not small, and this interest is very important to the independence movement of Cespedes, so he is really about to drive the Spaniards out of Cuba.

Victory is on the verge of victory, but!

No need to transfer!

When Li Mengyang's empire knocked down the capitals of the northern United States, did it still need Cuba?

That's right, even if I want to do business with the south, but there is no need to transfer in the middle, you don't need such a fig leaf at all, in addition, the development after that is more interesting, with the south, not only Cuba does not need it, but with the central railway, then shipping can be saved.

Of course, there are still advantages to shipping, but this shows that Cuba's position is becoming less and less important. Merchants are all profit-seeking, and seeing that there is no need to take the Cuban line now, although the previous business has done well, they should be thrown away.

This benefit is still there, but it is becoming less and less, and Cuba itself is excellent for its agricultural products, Li Mengyang saw this at the beginning, so it is really a deterioration.

In this case, Cespedes' independence movement was greatly affected.

Those Spaniards are not vegetarians, and this pearl of the Caribbean cannot be lost, so ......

In other words, Li Mengyang really looks down on this Cespedes a little, you are too abrasive, just Spain, after so many years of tossing, it has not been completely solved?!

In fact, this is mainly because there are many forces in Cuba, which involve a lot, and the Spaniards are also very familiar with Cuba, so ...... The temple is a small demon with a big wind, and there are many people in the pool, which is what I am talking about.

Cespedes failed to do his best when he had the most advantages, and then it was even more unfortunate that the Spaniards also rose up!

Spain, after all, is an old European power, and people have been awesome back then, and they are a hegemon on the sea, so don't take bean bags for dry food.

To say that before, Cespedes was so rampant, which had something to do with the internal turmoil in Spain.

This matter has something to do with the ruler of Spain, who is the co-ruler of Spain?

Bourbons!

Wasn't the Bourbons French? Louis XIV or something?

Spain is a branch of the family, and it is also a Bourbon dynasty, so can it not be chaotic?

For a long time before, it was Isabella II who was in power, and the queen Li Mengyang had seen, at the World Expo in Vienna, if you want to talk about this woman, it is really called a fat!

The chins, the tonnage, the walking state...... Li Mengyang does not discriminate against fat people, this is true, but at that time, Isabella II had been driven away by the Spaniards, because this woman was dissolute by nature and YIN......

Ay~!

Isabella II has actually been in power for a long time, since the thirties of the nineteenth century, but nevertheless. She never settled. Because she can't be safe. She is a member of the Bourbon dynasty, and during this time, the Bourbon dynasty was in France, which was very toss-up!

France has been engaged in revolution, and the Bourbon dynasty is constantly trying to restore, so she, the queen, is really walking on thin ice.

You have to take care of your relatives, and you have to be afraid that the revolutionaries in the country will do it yourself. And then there is always chaos in his royal family, and all kinds of things are constantly competing for power and profit, and this fat woman is quite inside...... It's a mess.

Let's talk about the civil strife in Spain, there is a man named Don. Carlos's, this old guy got up early to fight this queen, and although he was cleaned up, his power is still there.

Why?

This old Carlos had a younger brother, and this younger brother had two sons, the second of whom was the husband of Isabella II......

Are you talking about chaos?!

The relationship between this was when Li Mengyang sent someone to collect information and take a look. He had a brain ache, it was just too complicated.

So. Over the years, the civil strife in Spain has actually been very serious, and it is precisely because of this that Cespedes's side has been so jubilant...... To be honest, he didn't completely drive the Spaniards away, and that's enough for this guy.

But now, Spain is different, the sky is clear, the politics are clear!

How?

Did you drive the queen away? And then because of which one to appoint as the king, it was a quarrel, and this matter would have become the fuse of the Franco-Prussian War, but now the Franco-Prussian War has been advanced, so more European royals are involved.

To put it simply, don't stretch your hands too far in the German Empire, Spain is a place where people with connections to your family can't be kings.

But in the last few years, it really can't be done, this country is so chaotic, if you want to calm down, you have to have a strong man!

came out, this man's name is Arsenio. Martinez. Morality. Campos!

This person has a big fist, and there were many kinds of turmoil in Spain before, but there were not many military aspects, mainly sports and various struggles above the court, but later, everyone found out that these bastards were the ones who messed up the country.

This Campos is a royalist, to put it bluntly, they have also understood that we are not going to engage in any lofty revolution, let's find an emperor to come back!

Campos has big fists and hard enough, so even if he says it, then who to look for?

The royal heirs arranged by foreign royal families, they also don't look down on them.

Isabella II was driven out for several years before abdicating, and the reason why she wanted to abdicate was actually to give it to her son, Alfonso XII!

This Alfonso XII, in fact, is what everyone expected, he can pacify many forces in Spain, because of what?

His father is that Carlos!

Therefore, this time it is good, the name is justified, and the domestic opposition forces can't say anything, and Carlos's faction can't make trouble.

Actually, in the case of Spain, it is a bit similar to the British back then, they also got a foreigner to come and be the king, anyway, you are good for you, let's all live.

However, in this way, there will be less internal turmoil in Spain, so they will naturally have the energy to engage in Cuban affairs.

The Cuban side is really wonderful, just so many years, in the end there are thousands of people left on the Spanish side, but you just can't fight this force cleanly, obviously, people are also locals, and it is estimated that they are playing the set of military fans.

As a result, it was Arsenio. Campos personally led an army of 30,000 on an expedition to Cuba!

This power is really, really strong!

When Napoleon III went on an expedition to Mexico, it was only 30,000 people, and how big was Mexico?

Cuba is only a little bit, so Cespedes's side is immediately defeated, and now he really can't hold on, and if he takes a boat, he is tantamount to escaping to seek help from the American Empire!

So what about it......

To be honest, how could Li Mengyang not see the opportunity here? This can completely uproot Spain, an old power, in South America!

So...... Gotta have an excuse, right?

This excuse is first and foremost for the interior of the American Empire! (To be continued......)
