What Scrooge and Morgan said was mostly true, but there was still a little bit of untruth. For example, it was not the Cubans who found Scrooge, but the Scrooges who found the Cubans.

When he was trying to manipulate the media, Scrooge established a large number of foundations, one of which was called the "Free World" Foundation. When the non-profit foundation was founded, it published a very lofty founding manifesto in the newspapers, openly declaring, "The purpose of this foundation is to promote freedom throughout the world." Oppose one form of slavery or other forms of slavery, promote national self-determination, and oppose colonialism. We will strive to build a brave new world of freedom and equality. "Well, to put it bluntly, this organization is used by the Communists to cause trouble for the European colonial powers.

It was a very "left-wing", very "revolutionary" organisation, and it maintained close relations even with the First International. Marx, the great teacher of the proletarian revolution, pointed out at a moment that this organization is still a bourgeois revolutionary organization in essence. Their ass is on the side of the bourgeoisie, and sometimes even on the side of the most reactionary big bourgeoisie. But Marx also admitted that this organization played a very active, even very revolutionary, role in supporting the peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America in their struggle against the plundering of colonialism.

The people of the "free world" got in touch with a Cuban farmer named Seth 61 Pedes. This man was quite influential among the Cuban peasants, and was extremely dissatisfied with Spanish rule.

In fact, it is not the indigenous Indians who were almost killed by the Spaniards, but the native whites who are the descendants of the colonizers. Since the Bolivar swept away Spain's influence on the South American continent and allowed most of the South American colonies to gain independence, the Spaniards have only one decent colony in South America, Cuba. However, since it occupied most of South America, Spain has developed a good tradition of extravagance and lasciviousness. At that time, South American gold continued to flow into the hands of the Spanish aristocracy, but it did not become the start-up capital for the development of capitalism in their hands, but continued to flow into the Netherlands, Britain, France and other countries for various enjoyments. As a result, other countries developed on the basis of gold from Spain, and Spain became a backward country.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity. After one guy lost almost all the colonies in South America, it naturally became more and more difficult for the Spanish aristocracy to continue to maintain their "decent" life. Naturally, the Spaniards pressed Cuba even more aggressively, as the last decent colony in the Americas.

Speaking of which, the conditions on the island of Cuba are really good, it is the best place in the world to grow sugar cane and tobacco, producing a lot of cane sugar and the world's most famous Havana cigars. If it weren't for the Spaniards, if they had been as independent as the United States, then those native-born white farmers and the like would have lived very comfortably, just like the farmers of the American South a few years ago. But now, because of the expropriation of the Spaniards, even those farmers feel that life is becoming more and more difficult, and the dissatisfaction with Spain is naturally getting higher and higher, coupled with the example of other independent regions (those places are not very good, but the life of the farmers in those places is much better than that of Cuban farmers), the Cuban farmers naturally quietly linked up, planning to one day, do the same kind of rebellion.

The Spaniards were not unaware of these circumstances, but there was nothing they could do to ease the conflict. Because in this world, the most irreconcilable and uncompromising contradiction is the economic contradiction. Machiavelli said that a man may be able to quickly forget who killed his father, but he will never forget who deprived his father of the property that he should have inherited. Not only can he not forget it, but even his son and grandson can't forget it. Although there are many contradictions between countries, in the final analysis, there is only one contradiction that can really make two countries fight each other, and that is economic contradictions. The contradiction between Spain and Cuba is such a contradiction that, by its very nature, is irreconcilable. Even if there is an occasional compromise, it is just waiting for the moment. And in such silence, the hands of both sides sharpening their knives will never stop.

When the "Free World" Foundation approached Seth 61 Pedes, the two sides almost hit it off because of their common interests. The "Free World" Foundation provided funds for Seth 61 Pedes, supported him in contacting other "aspirants", and also financed them to go to the United States to buy weapons and receive military training.

Soon after, a group of Cubans landed on the North American continent.

The first group of members of the Free Cuban Army to come for military training was not large, only about thirty members, and the leader was a small man named Juan 61 Carlos. Under the arrangement of the "free world", they were sent to Cleveland to receive "security training" from Blackwater.

In accordance with the situation in Cuba and their pursuits, Blackwater prepared them with the most suitable combat training against the Spaniards.

"Although the Spanish army is in shambles, considering what Cuba means to them, they will still take it upon themselves to suppress you." Instructor Rodney, while habitually holding the whip in his hand, said to the Cubans, "Considering the financial disparity, well, it will be difficult for you to defeat the Spaniards in a frontal battle." ”

"But didn't Bolívar and Saint-Simon do that?" Obviously, such a statement did not convince the Cubans.

"Bolivar has a huge space to move around and move freely. But do you have? "In the war with Bolívar, the Spaniards had to defend an area as large as almost all of South America, and in such a large place, even if the entire Spanish army was thrown in, it was like pouring a bottle of ink into the sea, and in the blink of an eye, it would be diluted so that nothing could be seen." So General Bolívar was inferior in total strength to Spain, but in every battle he was able to concentrate his superior forces against the Spaniards scattered across the vast expanse of America, and in almost every time in these battles he had the advantage in strength. I ask you, on such an isolated island as Cuba, do you have the opportunity to constantly defeat the Spaniards bit by bit, as General Bolívar did? ”
