[OOC: I'm aware that Sino won't be able to post until Thursday. I'll telegram this thread to him.]
The current political doctrine of the newly coronated Emperor Jonatan I didn't leave him with many diplomatic options in Europe. The Holy League seemed fed up with the new administration of Spain, and others, including the Indians, were vexed at the implimintation of yet another right-wing government, although they were terribly wrong in categorizing the Spanish with the fascist. Indeed, Spain was an Empire. Fascism was out of place, and capatalism reigned supreme. It was a modern entity, not one of the past. Regardless of what the foreign world thought, the Spanish needed allies, although their first choice was perhaps a bit startling. It was doubted that in times of war Sino would come to the aid of Spain, however, an economic bloc with the Chinese was perhaps one of the smartest things Jonatan could do now. And so, he set down to offer the Chinese an alliance with the growing Spain.

To all whom this letter may concern,
We find ourselves sorrounded by hostile nations, including to the north, to the south, to the west, and to the east. By the looks of it there seems to be no escape. The Socialist despise us, and the Holy League has proved conceited enough to break ties with us, at least for now. However, the Chinese prove to be quite a beam of light through enshrouding clouds of darkness. So, Spain comes to you with her arms open, hoping for Chinese mercy. And why not? We both share similar, if not the same, ideals.
We are both right wing nations, hoping for the unification of what we think is ours. We both are enemies of Socialism, Anarchism and Communism, and for that alone we should forge a bloc. Moreover, we can both take advantage of the mercantile opportunities opened if such an allegiance is ratified.
Furthermore, the Spanish geography cannot handle an industry as powerful as that as the United States, China, or Russia. Consequently, we plead to you that you allow us to build, or purchase, factories in the heartland of China, so we may be able to build our weapons of war. This way the time table of two years before we have a military strong enough to parade will shrink to perhaps as low as a year, or nine months. It would be quite the feat. However, without Chinese cooperation it would be well near impossible.
Any stype of allegiance would include a military bloc, promising at least limited support in each other's campaigns. The new model army that Spain is conjuring around her banners would very well like the training and experience it would get from fighting with the Chinese, who have proved to be some of the most capable around the world.
However, we will not drown out the Chinese with pleads. We will just offer what we have already said and hope that the Chinese agree. We promise that any allegiance would be advantageous to the both of us.

And so it was sent. The days of Spanish blood and iron, sword and pen, diplomacy and war, had finally began.
