Madrid, the capital of Spain, is full of people celebrating victory. {[} After the news that the Spanish Navy and the French Navy completely wiped out the main force of the US Navy in North America, the entire Madrid and even Spain were in a carnival. Countless Spanish people took to the streets, singing and dancing to celebrate this rare victory. The Spanish always ended in failure in the foreign wars over the years. This time, they finally saw a glimmer of hope. As the world's top power hundreds of years ago, the Spanish now also want to restore their former glory!

Originally, the southern part of the United States was a colony of the Kingdom of Spain. However, after the decline of the Kingdom of Spain, although it was still in its rebirth, the Americans still raised their butcher knives at the Kingdom of Spain and began to plunder the colony of the Kingdom of Spain.

As early as 1795, the United States signed the Treaty of Pinckney with Spain, namely the Treaty of Lorenzo, and obtained the right to free navigation on the Lower Mississippi River and the three-year "stack right" in New Orleans, creating conditions for the United States to invade Spanish territory in the Americas. After the signing of the Treaty on Transfer of Louisiana, the United States used the treaty that did not clearly stipulate Louisiana's borderline and passed the "Moorby Act" on February 24, 1804, on the Mississippi River.

The basin established an administrative district, called the "Mississippi area's separate customs zone", which included Florida in administrative scope. The United States used this as a basis to propose a territorial claim for West Florida to Spain. This request was rejected by Spain. However, in 1810, the United States took advantage of the revolution in the Spanish American colonies and planned a series of rebellions in East and West Florida. In early 1811, the United States sent troops to occupy West Florida.

The United States and Britain war broke out from 1812 to 1814. During the war, the United States defeated Spain, occupied 2/3 of Alabama's land, east and west Florida and its adjacent areas, and incorporated West Florida into the Mississippi area of ​​the United States. In addition, the United States also destroyed the tribal alliance of the Indians and gradually occupied the land of the Indians in the Michigan Lake area. By 1819, the United States took advantage of the uprising of Spanish-American colonial uprisings and legalized the occupation and annexation of more than 100,000 square kilometers of land in East and West Florida. The territory reached more than 4.6 million square kilometers, equivalent to more than half of the current territory.

Of course, the Spaniards disagreed with the Americans' plunder of their colonies. However, the Spanish Kingdom had declined at that time. It was impossible to cross the Atlantic Ocean and defeat an emerging power like the United States. For this reason, the Spaniards could only swallow their anger.

Thirty years later, with the support of the Chinese Empire, Spain has restored a certain degree of strength, both the army and the navy, which is a world apart from thirty years ago. In addition, the expansion of financial resources has made the Spanish government's call for recapturing these colonies occupied by the Americans more and more. Now, the Chinese Empire, France and the Kingdom of Spain have successively declared war on the United States, which has given the Kingdom of Spain an excellent opportunity.

In the Madrid palace, Queen Isabella II and King Francisco I sat on the throne respectively. On both sides were the Prime Minister Duke Valencia,.

Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. The victory of the Navy indicates that the Kingdom of Spain had achieved a very good victory in the early stages of this war. After the Navy won, it was able to escort the Army to land in North America and then take back all the lost colonies.

"Your Majesty, the fleet is on its way back. In a few days, they will return to the military port of Cadiz. At that time, they can escort the army to North America." The Duke of Navy Minister Aguilera, with a smile on his face. The Navy won easily, which made him look light.

"Well! Duke of Maria, is the army ready?" asked Queen Isabella II. Although she was still young and did not deal with state affairs much, she left it to the Prime Minister for her work, giving more time to indulge in love. However, this time the war between the Kingdom of Spain and the United States was related to the restoration of the glory of the Kingdom of Spain, and she also attached great importance to it.

"Your Majesty, the first batch of 100,000 troops has refused to be in Cadiz. We are preparing more than 400 merchant ships to transport these troops and weapons and equipment. In the future, more than 200 merchant ships will be guaranteed to provide their logistics supplies. However, the logistics supply line still needs to be protected by the navy."

"Please rest assured that the Navy is capable of protecting the logistics supply line!" Duke Aguilera said, patting his chest.

Queen Isabella II nodded with satisfaction, and then asked her most concerned question: "Can we win this battle?"

"Your Majesty, our allies, the Chinese Empire has won the west coast of North America. They have wiped out more than 300,000 US troops. The main forces of the US Army have been attracted by the Chinese Empire. Although the army of the Spanish Kingdom may not be as good as the army of the Chinese Empire, we use the same equipment as the Chinese Army, and the troops have been trained by Chinese instructors, and the combat power will not be much different. This time, we will invest a total of 200,000 troops. It may be unlikely to completely defeat the United States. However, it should be impossible for us to complete the predetermined goal and regain the land in the southern United States." said the Prime Minister Duke Valencia. They know the strength of the Spanish Kingdom, and it may be unlikely to defeat the United States by their own strength. However, it is still easy to occupy the southern United States when the main forces of the US Army have been restrained by the Chinese Empire and France.

"That's good!" Queen Isabella II nodded.

"Her Majesty, this time, our targets are Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana in the southern United States. In terms of area, it has exceeded our previous colonies in the southern United States. As for other lands, let us leave them to our allies! If they want to occupy these lands, they have to fight again with the Americans." said the Duke of Valencia. The Kingdom of Spain is not very popular, as long as these five states in the southern United States are enough. Of course, these lands are several times that of the Kingdom of Spain. After taking these territories, the Kingdom of Spain can immigrate to these areas, thereby alleviating the domestic population pressure and taking the Spanish Kingdom's national strength to a higher level.

"Why should we limit it to these states, and why not continue to expand? For example, Texas in western Louisiana is vast in size, the size of three Louisiana states. Why not swallow it in one bite?" Wang Fufrancisco I asked with a frown.

Suddenly, the Duke of Valencia and others looked a little strange.

The whole world knows that although Texas is now occupied by the Americans, it was bought by the Chinese Empire from Mexico by a lot of money. If the Spanish wanted to annex Texas, wouldn’t they be enemies of the Chinese Empire? The reason why the Spanish Kingdom has today’s strength is thanks to the Chinese Empire. Besides, the strength of the Spanish Kingdom is far from the opponent of the Chinese Empire. If the Chinese Empire falls apart, the Spanish Kingdom will be in danger.

"True! Your Highness, Texas is the territory of the Chinese Empire, how can we have an attempt to do the territory of our allies?"

"Alliance? The army of the Chinese Empire was blocked by the Americans on the West Coast. This is our opportunity. As long as we can annex Texas in one fell swoop, even the Chinese cannot do anything to us! At worst, we will make up some of the money to give them according to the price they bought from the Mexicans. Don't forget that in the heyday of the Kingdom of Spain, those territories, including the West Coast of the United States, were our colonies! Now we only take Texas back, it is already cheaper for them!" said Francisco I.

The Duke of Valencia and others looked at each other, and did not seem to have expected that the Queen's husband, Francisco I, would have such an idea. It would be great if the former glory of the Spanish Kingdom could be restored. However, it would be angered by the Chinese Empire, resulting in a break with the Chinese Empire, or even a war breaking out, would be of no benefit to the Spanish Kingdom.

"Your Highness, I do not recommend doing this. This will affect our relationship with the Chinese Empire. It will even trigger war. Once a war breaks out, we are no match for the Chinese Empire!" said the Duke of Valencia seriously. He would definitely not want to see the Spanish Kingdom develop in this dangerous direction.

"Waring war? In the current situation of a great enemy, will the Chinese dare to go to war with us? Besides, the Spanish Kingdom is no longer the original. When the Chinese snatched Luzon from our hands, everyone will not forget this account. Even if the Chinese want to go to war with us, we can still unite with the French. In this case, we may not be afraid of the Chinese. Could it be that everyone is willing to be the spokesperson of the Chinese in Europe?" Francesco I said in a deep voice.

"Enough, the Chinese Empire is our ally. Without the support of the Chinese Empire, there would be no current Kingdom of Spain. We must remain loyal to our allies!" said Queen Isabella II.

"Yes, your Majesty!" The Duke of Valencia and others replied loudly.

Only Francisco I looked a little unhappy! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
