Chapter 79 The Spanish Civil War

Over time, Singapore has become a global center for television and film production. Coupled with its pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, rich people and celebrities have chosen to live here. As a result, land prices in Singapore have risen again and again, and it is suitable to be close to the sea.

Land for building villas is all at sky-high prices, but demand still exceeds supply.

Liu Fu is naturally optimistic about the success of this kind of thing. Not only does he not object, but he also encourages it from all aspects. Although there are also crime, pornographic and other programs in these TV programs, the federal government does not prohibit them.

The broadcast is only slightly restricted in the broadcast time period. In Liu Fu's words: Films and dramas are both things that bring joy to the people, and there is no essential difference.

Similar to later generations, this kind of adult program is very popular in South Korea, and among the adult pornographic films that win awards every year, programs produced by South Korea are always on the list, and in South Korea,

Actually, filming this kind of program has slowly become an industry, from comics to TV, from animation to real-life, from promotional materials to various supplies, all integrated into an industry chain, attracting a large number of tourists and tourists from all over the world every year.

Tourists travel to Nanjing, thus bringing a large amount of foreign exchange income to the Nanjing government.

Liu Fu did not wait for the end of the Olympic Games, but returned with his fleet. Those athletes will return to the country by plane. In fact, air transportation in this era has also developed well, with United Airlines, a giant in the aviation industry.

Yes, there are flights from Asia to various European countries, and the journey that usually takes half a month or more has been shortened to 2 days.

But Liu Fu was unwilling to fly any aircraft of this era because in Liu Fu's opinion it was too dangerous. In addition to weather factors, the aircraft at this time may also fall from the sky due to various factors such as navigation problems and mechanical problems.

, for a person like Liu Fu who cherishes his life very much, it is better to insure warships and take it slow. At least it is much safer and more comfortable than passenger planes in this era.[

On the way back to the South China Sea Federation by boat, Liu Fu received a domestic telegram, which was forwarded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One of the main contents was that a large-scale civil war had occurred in Spain, and the army had rebelled against the "government".

At present, German, Italian and Portuguese troops have intervened. On the side of supporting the rebels, Britain, France, the United States and other countries have declared neutrality and banned the delivery of weapons to Spain. The Soviet Union has announced that it will comply with the embargo regulations, but has protested and opposed the embargo.

Both countries intervened in the Spanish Civil War.

Regarding the Spanish Civil War, Liu Fu had heard about it on his way to Europe. At that time, Liu Fu's fleet was passing through the waters of Lisbon. The fleet received a secret message from the Portuguese Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was said that a military rebellion had occurred in Spain. At that time,

Liu Fu didn't care because he

I really don’t know much about Spain. The only thing that Liu Fu remembers deeply about this country on the Iberian Peninsula is its past glory and the two football teams of Barcelona and Real Madrid. As for its domestic situation, Liu Fu

Don't care much, don't care much.

Liu Fu's attitude towards Spain is mainly because Spain did not play an important role in the two wars and adopted a neutral attitude. Therefore, this once European power could not stay under the leadership of President Liu Fu.

in the memory, so that it happened in

The large-scale civil war before World War II failed to attract Liu Fu's attention. This also shows from one aspect that Liu Fu, a time traveler, is really unqualified. He has not even learned history well. The important historical events in the past 100 years have not been timed.

Even if I don’t remember it, I dare to imitate others and travel through time.

When Liu Fu saw the telegram forwarded from China, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a war in history, and also remembered that the final winner was named Franco, because Spain was

This general was ruling. As for other details of the war, he could no longer think of any other details of the war except what he had seen in movies about the International Brigades going to support Spain.

The cause and effect are not clear. Now he can’t even figure out who the two warring parties are. Liu Fu can’t judge what benefits the South China Sea Federation can get from the Spanish Civil War. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, we can learn.

So Liu Fu occupied "

The telegraph room on the heavy cruise ship "Asia" conducts correspondence courses with the domestic intelligence department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, and has the intelligence officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs explain the situation in Spain from beginning to end. By the time the correspondence course is completed, the fleet has also

Entered the Indian Ocean.

After returning home, Liu Fu had almost figured out what the Spanish Civil War was about. Spain was once a powerful country in the world, more tyrannical than the British Empire and the American imperialism of later generations.

Its territory spreads all over the world, from Europe to Africa, from North America to South America, and then to Asia. Its colonies are everywhere. Anyway, wherever the Spanish galleons go, they lay their eggs there. Places like the Philippines were once Spain.

One of the many balls laid.

If you travel to South and North America now, as long as you see local place names starting with San, most of them are colonial names from the Spanish rule, such as San Diego in the United States. In addition, many countries in South America speak Spanish.

, there are also many Spanish-speaking people in the United States, which reflects the results of the original Spanish colonial rule from one aspect.

But by the mid-to-late 19th century, the Spanish Empire gradually declined. Its colonies in the Americas and Asia were disrupted by the rising Americans. Its African colonies were also snatched away by Britain and France, leaving only Morocco, Guinea and the Sahara.

These North African colonies were destroyed, and Spain was completely reduced from an empire on which the sun never set to a second-rate European country.

The Spanish ruling class, composed of kings, nobles, landowners and churches, did not lead Spain to keep up with the times during the industrialization process in the 20th century. Instead, it adopted a conservative attitude. In this regard, Spain is a bit like our Qing Dynasty, which was stuck in its ways.

Hide your head and dream about being a boss.

However, as industrialization swept across Europe, some bourgeoisie and intellectuals began to realize that Spain needed to reform, and this voice became louder and louder, and national independence movements emerged in Catalonia and the Basque Country.

Socialist and "governmental" elements also began to organize forces in an attempt to subvert the imperial power and implement a republic.

Under the crisis of governance, Spain's conservative forces adopted another extreme method, that is, the implementation of dictatorship. In September 1923, the Governor of Catalonia, General Primo Rivera, launched a military coup.

With tacit approval, the constitution of the enlightened monarchy period was completely negated and the dictatorship of Spain began.

But in 1930, the Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish Armed Forces, ten military commanders, the Commander of the National Guard, the Commander of the Border Guards and the Commander of the Navy jointly declared that they did not approve of the extension of the dictatorship. Without support from the army, Rivera was forced to

Submitted his resignation to the king. In desperation, King Alfonso XIII successively chose 2 generals to continue this dictatorial rule, but their terms were shorter than General Rivera, lasting only more than one year before ending.

.

Later, the rebels launched an armed uprising in Jaca, demanding that the King of Spain step down and implement a republic. The conservatives also realized that Spain had to reform, so they agreed to hold elections in Spain, and the election results fully demonstrated that.

The will of the Spanish people, the Republican Alliance composed of the Republican Action Party and the Spanish Socialist Workers Party, won the municipal elections. Except for Cadiz, almost all the towns voted for the Republican Alliance.

At the strong request of Republican leader Alcalá Zamora, King Alfonso XIII of Spain finally chose to follow the trend of history. As the king of Spain and the leader of the Bourbon dynasty, he signed at the Oriental Palace

He made a statement to the nation and complied with the people's choice to abdicate. The next day, he boarded the cruiser "Prince Alfonso" from the port of Cartagena and headed for Marseille, never to return to his motherland again. (To be continued.
