The changes in the situation on the European continent will not affect the stable development of East African colony for the time being, and the troubles of Leopold will require a long period of wrangling between Prussia and France, so no results will be seen this year.
However, Ernst knows that the Spain throne is nothing but a mirror image to Leopold. Of course, this is fine. Amadeo I, who was born in the Italy Savoy dynasty in the future, will prove that this throne is a hot commodity.
Amadeo I almost replicated the endings of Charles I (Britain) and the French Louis XVI, but Amadeo I is more flexible. As soon as he arrived at Madrid, he understood that he was not capable of solving the problems faced by Spain.
In 1873, Amadeo I voluntarily abdicated, returned to Italy with ease, and became Duke of Aosta Amedeo again.
The Spain throne looks good, but it just looks good. Behind it is not only Spain domestic forces involved, but also the intervention of the great powers.
However, history still proves that the Republic cannot save Spain. Even after going through World Wars and going round and round, Spain finally returned to the monarchy.
So Hechingen Royal Family didn't do anything. While everyone else was paying attention to the Spain situation, the Hechingen Royal Family people had already gone to Paris to contact the future Spain king, Alfonso XII.
The icing on the cake is never as touching as providing help in times of need, especially Alfonso XII who is now implicated by his mother, the former Queen Spain (Isabella II).
Of course, the relationship between mother and son is very good, Alfonso XII just hates the rebels Spain.
In fact, the reformist general Juan Prim launched a failed military coup in 1866, but it was Juan Prim's comeback in 1868 that succeeded.
October 16, 1868.
Paris.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Prince, on behalf of the Hechingen Royal Family, I express my sympathy for your experience. My Prince and His Highness the Prince have said that the rebels will not end well." Tom came to Paris on behalf of the Hechingen Royal Family to express Hechingen Royal Family's attitude to the mother and daughter.
The former Queen Spain said, "Thank you for your country's support. Alfonso and I will never forget your country's friendship on behalf of the Bourbon family and Spain people."
Although she is said to be a former queen, Isabella II actually did not give up her claim. This also established the legal basis for Alfonso XII's subsequent restoration. Only when Spain loyal and patriotic people regain their strength can they welcome the prince back to the country and wear royal robes.
"This is Hechingen Royal Family's sincere wish. As a country, we Hechingen have long been unworthy of our reputation. We can only give out some small gifts. I hope the queen and prince will not find it objectionable." Tom said as he presented a box to us.
Isabella II knew very well that there must be something like money in this box. She asked the housekeeper to accept it, and then said, "Alfonso, you have to remember who are our real friends these days, and which ones are the ones who add insult to injury, do you understand?"
"Yes, mother, we Bourbon family will never forget those true friends." said the still somewhat immature Alfonso XII.
The mother and son are actually not very poor. After all, the value of Bourbon family is still very great. As one of the three major forces of Royalists in France, its political status is still very important in Europe.
However, after all, Spanish rule was temporarily lost. It was inevitable that some people who had come to fawn over in the past would disperse and even defect to the enemy camp.
And the royal family of the Hechingen Royal Family, a small country of Germany, which had not had a close relationship with the Spain royal family in the past, came to express condolences, which made the mother and son very touched.
"The people of Spain were only temporarily deceived. If United States people had not been weakening Spain's power overseas, Spain would never have fallen to this point.
After all, we all know that Spain's economic problems are caused by the damage to overseas interests, and those traitors are actually rogue parties who cannot bully United States and can only find compensation at home. "Tom did not forget the prince's instructions and first gave the future Spain royal family eye drops.
"That's right. In recent years, United States people have been jumping up and down throughout the Americas, and they have been eyeing Spain's overseas territories. This is the root cause of Spain's economic corruption." Isabella II agreed with his face.
As a ruler, Isabella II has no self-awareness, but if someone helps him find an excuse to escape responsibility, he will naturally attribute all causes and blame to United States.
United States There is no need to complain, Cuba, Philippines, Argentina, Mexico... these colonies of Spain in the previous life...
On October 10, 1868, under the leadership of some white elites, Yara Uprising broke out in Cuba. At this time, Cuba was a multiracial area, with blacks, whites, and even some Chinese, and the sources of funding for the insurrectionists were self-evident.
Although this uprising was unsuccessful, it preserved the fire for Cuban independence. Of course the Isabella II mother and son who lost the Spain throne did not know the news. Now that they have even lost their base camp, who cares about an overseas island? Even if he is Spain's most valuable colony.
Ernst certainly wouldn't mind letting mother and son know more about international things and broaden their horizons.
Tom said, "Just a few days ago, an uprising broke out in Cuba. The insurrectionists chose a good time. They rebelled in Spanish homeland and planned Cuba's independence. It's hard not to think that the two parties have nothing to do with each other. After all, it was less than ten days before the Spain rebellion. When does Cuba not cause trouble? They chose this time. The people behind it are really..."
"Hmph! They're just a bunch of clowns! Sure enough, their purpose is to destroy Spain. I knew they didn't have good intentions, but I didn't expect them to collude with Spain's enemies (United States)." Isabella II gritted his teeth.
Young Alfonso was even more indignant. Well, now the evidence is conclusive. The financial backer behind the rebels is definitely related to the United States people.
Conspiracy theories are indeed the easiest for people to believe, and the mother and son do not need evidence at all, just suspicion, and United States is undoubtedly the most suspected in every country.
In addition to the conflict of interests between the two countries, United States is highly suspicious as a republic.
If United States took over the scepter of world hegemony from Britain in the previous life, then United States became a great power by standing on the corpses of Spain's large colonies.
Although Spain itself has a big problem with its dominance, it is even more disgusting that United States is fanning the flames and playing tricks on the side.
Moreover, since Napoleon III was restored in France, United States has become the stronghold of reactionary (republican) forces in the eyes of European monarchs.
Anti-government organizations from various countries can be found in United States. For example, Antonio Meucci, the holder of the telephone patent purchased by Hohenzollern Conglomerate before, is this kind of person. Garibaldi, one of the three founding heroes of Italy, once stayed in Antonio Meucci's home in United States for three years.
Not to mention, Ernst's father-in-law Maximilian I is one of the victims. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows who the supporters behind the Mexico rebels are.
At that time, the Mexico republicans were attacked by Napoleon III and went to the mountains. United States had just ended Civil War at that time and began to provide various supports to Mexico's rebels until they overthrew Maximilian I.
