Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

On May 20, 5,000 regular native troops and 30,000 Angolan servant troops stationed by Spain in Angola set off from Angola's large Spanish merchant fast transport ship and landed on Spain's Gulf of Guinea at 22:00 that night. Spanish overseas territory in the Gulf of Equatorial Guinea, and at the same time, Spain's Cadiz Fourth Navy, stationed in Bata and Bioko Island in South Africa, is also traveling to Gabon's largest cities, Libreville and Port Gentil. Rafting.

"Our territory is absolutely not allowed to be occupied by other countries. It is absolutely not allowed. We are willing to live in peace with other countries as a friendly and peaceful country, but it does not mean that we will be willing to do anything when it comes to national territorial issues. Therefore, our government is ready, and our brave soldiers in France are also ready to fight against all groups and countries that infringe on our interests. We will absolutely protect the security of our homeland."

This is what Armand Fallier, President of the French Republic, just said at the Senate meeting in the early morning.

He looked at all the senators below. It was obvious that many of them had no idea that Spain would make any move in the south at this time, so they still had expressions of disbelief that Spain would dare to do this.

"I dare to ask, Mr. President, since you said so, are you ready to persuade us to deal with Spain?"

"Yes, Congressman Alba, since our partner in the south has obviously been lonely for many years and wants to find someone to vent his anger on, but. What is even more obvious is that they have chosen us as their target to vent their anger. At this time All we can do is make them regret choosing us.”

"Then I wonder what the government is going to do? Is it unable to fight against the escalation?"

"No, we are prepared to directly negotiate with our opponents. If no solution is reached, I think it is time to let the world see the bravery of our French soldiers."

"However, this may not make Spain think that we will give in to them in every possible way. Also, I think the government should now strengthen the two places where Spain has proposed sovereignty this time. That is, the defense capabilities of Gabon and Madagascar. "I would like to ask about the current deployment of troops in France. Of course, what I want to ask most is the troops in those two places. Please answer my question." Paul Dume, in addition to being the Speaker of the House of Representatives, he Still a senator, there are not so many rules in this day and age. So in terms of rules, there aren't that many restrictions.

Armand Farier hesitated for a moment. Then he said extremely seriously: "Of course. We now have a total of more than 765,000 French navy and army, including 55,000 navy, 690,000 army, and more than 550,000 in the mainland. The reason is naturally to fight against the German Empire, because according to intelligence, , this year the German Empire has 680,000 troops, 75,000 navy, and the rest except for more than 50,000 troops in overseas colonies. 550,000 troops are at home." Armand raised his head and glanced at the senators in the audience, "Now we There are 160,000 local soldiers overseas, including more than 50,000 on the China Peninsula in the Far East. They are in the north and south to protect our interests there. On the islands in the South Pacific, we have scattered more than 5,000 deployed People are there left and right.

In the Indian Ocean we have 5,000 people on the large East African island of Madagascar. And in Algeria and North Africa east of Tunisia and Morocco, we have deployed 50,000 people. We have also deployed 40,000 people in West African colonies or protectorates such as Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire. We have also deployed 40,000 people in Central Africa, the Congo part under our jurisdiction and the central African region of Gabon, where we There are 100 million. "As he said that, his expression suddenly changed. Suddenly, that calm and ever-smiling face appeared in his mind. He began to pray in his heart, praying to God, hoping that what he didn't want to happen wouldn't happen.

When the senators in the audience heard Armand Farier say that there were only 10,000 local troops in the three places combined, they were all shocked. Then everything turned into worry, because in front of a powerful country like Spain, 10,000 local troops were really too few.

"I wonder how many servants there are?"

"About 30,000, because the population there is too small." Armand thought for a moment and then added.

After hearing this data, they felt better. There were 40,000 troops there, including 10,000 local troops who had experienced many wars. Together, they felt better.

"Creston, who is leading the team this time?"

"Major General Druid, our regular army stationed in Angola, and Major General Caino of the Angolan servant army beside him assisting him."

In the diamond-shaped building where the headquarters of the Spanish Military High Command is located, all Spain's current senior generals above the level of lieutenant general are present there, including the King of Spain, the de facto head of the Tri-Services Military Council.

Creston, Secretary of Defense, Chief of Staff Jack Stern, Field Marshal Combs, Navy Commander (Marshal) Cervera, Marine Crewe, Air Force Commander Yan Shun, Chief of Army Staff Combs, Chief of Naval Staff Don Patricio, Marine Corps Chief of Staff Raul, Air Force Chief of Staff Asli. These people include all the current top figures in the Spanish navy, army and air force.

Alfonso: "Very good, I hope they can complete this mission"

Creston: "That's what I thought too"

While Armand Farier and Alfonso XIII were preparing for their next actions, in Africa, there was now a huge army walking on the road at night. They were the ones Creston just now The two major generals Druid and Caino.

“The intelligence said that France has 5,000 local soldiers stationed in Gabon, of which 3,000 are in the port city of Libreville and the remaining 2,000 are in Port Gentil.

There are 1,000 in Pointe-Noire, 2,000 in Brazzaville, and 2,000 in Bangui in Central Africa. This is the deployment of the French regular army in this area. As for the servant army, each can recruit about 5,000 to 10,000 people, that is to say , if we want to take down all three places, then based on the maximum estimate, we need to eliminate at most 10,000 regular troops of the opponent, and about 50,000 servants in five places. "

"No, Caino, this is not all ours. We don't need to touch Central Africa. Have you forgotten the southern Cameroon that we just completed the transaction some time ago?"

Kaino asked with some confusion: "Didn't you say that there are only 3,000 regular troops there to carry out the delivery operation?"

"Of course this is true for what is said to the outside world. Do you think that what a country's external department says can be absolutely believed?"

Kaino thought for a moment with some awareness, and then asked eagerly: "How much is that?"

"This number." Druid stretched out a finger with his right hand. It was just such a lonely finger, but it surprised Caino. How much did one finger refer to? He had already analyzed the situation just now, and he didn't know what to do. I understand how much it represents. This number is too unexpected. No wonder it is said that Central Africa does not need to be taken care of. Believe it or not, it will be fine even if the Democratic Republic of the Congo does not take care of it. If you don't need to wait for others to take care of it, then what's the use of having people like yourself here.

Druid saw Caino's expression of surprise and smiled with satisfaction, "Our mission this time is to quickly capture Libreville and Port Gentil, occupy the entire territory of Gabon, and then quickly capture Bra Zaver, then we will take the Port of Pointe-Noire with the water support of the navy and Cabinda and our three parties. We will jointly sweep the French Congo and Central Africa with the Southern Cameroon Army. In this way, we can open up our territory in Central Africa. The link between the territory and the colony. This is where our characters are. There are only three days left. It must be completed before the French reinforcements arrive. As for the remaining things, that is the above. "

Caino nodded to express his understanding. He is a major general of the servant army. Although Druid also has the rank of major general, but really speaking, there is an unwritten rule in the Spanish army, that is, everyone with the rank of major general, generally At the beginning of promotion, you will be assigned to a colony or territory to lead the servant army or mercenary army that belongs to the local army for a period of time before you can lead the local army. According to a saying in the circle, when you can lead the regular army, this It proves that you have become a regular and are a real major general, while the previous miscellaneous army and servant army mercenaries were only at the level of pseudo major general or quasi-major general when they were led.

It is precisely because of this that he behaves respectfully in front of the druid, because the other party is a real major general.

On May 22, after no news came back for two days, while the French government and military were anxiously waiting for the latest news from China, the news of Belgium’s official note shocked the French government. They received news that was like a bolt from the blue after a phone call from the Belgian Prime Minister Armand Falier. That is, opposite Kinshasa, Belgium's largest colony and the largest city in Congo, there was the sound of artillery fire. Then on the 22nd, the Belgian Governor-General in Congo discovered that the French white, blue and red three The sky above Brazeville, which had a red flag, has been changed to the Spanish flag of red, yellow and red.

Shortly after Belgium provided France with the information it knew, the French government was at a loss as to how to announce the news to its citizens and the world. While still preparing what tone to use to condemn Spain's actions.

Spanish radio announced the news in a big way. As one of the most watched countries in the world, once the Spanish broadcast came out, Europe was shocked and the whole world was stunned. Was the Spaniard's forehead caught in the door? They actually challenged France, a world power, so blatantly. Aren't they afraid of France's revenge? Are they really not afraid of the wrath of the lion France? In other words, do they already think they are determined to conquer France? (To be continued.
