Since he hadn't told them now, it was naturally not yet the time for them to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Austro-Prussian War ended, Carlo’s daily schedule became very simple. Apart from occasionally asking Luo Lun about the layout and development of the newspaper office, most of Carlo’s time was spent traveling between the military academy and the Turin Wang Gong, occasionally inviting Andrew, Kaman, and Qiaodi to hold gatherings; although life was not exciting, it was still quite enjoyable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the course of continuous study at the military academy, Carlo also discovered the only possible change in himself since he had transmigrated: his physical fitness had improved significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This body before had been a sickly one, with major illnesses frequent and minor illnesses constant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since Carlo came to this world, not only had his health completely improved, but he had even become somewhat more robust through the exercises at the military academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carlo had never skipped his three meals a day, and although he was only 15 years old, he was not lacking in nutrition, and his height had already reached 1.7 meters, which could be considered a standard tall stature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with his handsome appearance, as well as the noble temperament and wealthy background of a royal family member, Carlo became the object of admiration for a host of Italian noble ladies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that this body was still too young; otherwise, Carlo would not have been able to hold back against the amorous glances of these noble ladies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, amorous glances were one thing, but regarding his future wife, Carlo still wanted to give it careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the West did not have the practice of exorbitant bride prices, it was undeniable that a good wife could indeed bring him huge benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The country behind his wife would also be a boost for Carlo, and Carlo hoped more to choose a princess to marry from the two more powerful countries of Germany and Russia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the current European hegemon, France, it was not within Carlo’s consideration. If the Franco-Prussian War developed as it did in history, the French royal family would not exist for many more years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The study period at the Turin Military Academy was 3 years, and after graduation, one could basically enter the Italian army to serve as a low-level officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if one entered the Turin Military Academy for advanced studies as an active-duty officer or soldier, one only needed two years to graduate, and their military rank would be raised by at least one level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carlo, of course, chose the first method. If he enrolled in 1866, he would have to wait until 1869 to graduate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this did not conflict with Carlo’s plans; after all, the revolution in Spain broke out in 1868, and only after the First Spanish Republic perished would the monarchy be restored in Spain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduating from the military academy in 1869, Carlo would still have one year left. By the time in history when Amadeo became the King of Spain, Carlo would also be 19 years old, fitting the range for Spain to select a king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the busy life of the military academy, time passed very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On May 30, 1867, Carlo attended the wedding of his older brother Amadeo and Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo, and presented them with gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intermarriage between European royal families in this era was still very chaotic. If Carlo remembered correctly, his older brother Amadeo’s second wife was the daughter of his own sister, Marie Letizia Bonaparte.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, U.S. President Andrew Johnson became the first president in U.S. history to be impeached by Congress, but he was lucky enough to avoid impeachment by a single vote and remained on the presidential throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this lucky American president, Queen Isabella II of Spain was not so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first generation of the empire on which the sun never sets that had already exited the historical stage, the corrupt royal rule of Spain had already appeared in an extremely serious state of polarization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noble class was extravagant and wasteful, making a fortune in the fields of railway investment and real estate investment. Just the residence built in Madrid by a guard from Andalusia was mocked by the public as being covered in inlaid diamonds, which was enough to prove the luxurious life of the Spanish noble class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in contrast to this was the hard life of the Spanish peasant and worker classes. Peasants only had the right to use the land but not ownership, and the terrible economy caused Spanish factories to constantly go bankrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impoverished peasants and workers erupted in one parade and uprising after another, which were cruelly suppressed by the Spanish government, but the anger of the people was constantly accumulating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the anger was ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In September 1868, exiled military personnel led by Francisco Serrano and Hu An Baoditisita Tuopeite, who had once been elected as a member of parliament, led supporters to launch a larger-scale uprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it broke out in September, this revolution was also called the September Revolution by the Spanish people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corrupt royal government was simply unable to suppress the explosive revolution; peasants and workers actively and enthusiastically joined this uprising, sweeping across most of Spain in a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more fatal was that Queen Isabella II of Spain’s control over the army was not that perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers had no good feelings for this absurd and extravagant queen. The defection of a large number of government troops accelerated the revolutionary process in Spain, and the Kingdom of Spain perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeking collections, seeking monthly tickets, seeking recommendation tickets, seeking investment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1384,"2026-06-25T09:27:12.995Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","549efe4fe3b6635e59b5eafc5bb4cfa7503030d9ee218c82c9b63e607e4e42d6","rise-of-the-empire-spain-chapter-11","rise-of-the-empire-spain-chapter-9",493,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-empire-spain-cover.jpg"]
