Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 322 Pressuring France

On October 28, 1910, when most people in the world were focusing on Spain, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, Germany made a move that shocked the world again. They actually formed an alliance. .

The alliance between Spain and other three countries has made many people see that the situation in Europe will change dramatically. However, before everyone can react, in just a few days, the alliance between the German Empire and Italy has indeed made many people It was all unexpected.

Among them, France was the most shocked.

In France, many people are now panicking about the diplomatic situation France will face. Not only diplomatically, but also militarily, France has only now discovered that it seems to be surrounded by heavy siege.

The emergence of an article by Edward George, dean of the Institute of Politics at the University of Oxford in the UK, has triggered a lot of speculation.

"A long time ago, I discovered a pattern, that is, when some countries are aligned with other countries that are far more powerful than themselves, then the bottom line of this country's alliance will be that the strength of the alliance country is the same.

Russia and France are both big powers in Europe. When France faced the big European countries under the leadership of Germany, all of them united to suppress France, France’s deepest thoughts were quoted from a new university subject in Spain. According to the professor's psychological case, France's innermost thoughts at that time must have been to hope that the German Empire would be like what France encountered at that time, and everyone saw the result. In the past ten years, the German Empire, united by France, has become an isolated country in Europe supported only by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Some time ago, the Austro-Hungarian Empire broke away from Germany and went to Spain. This made the German Empire even more confused. I truly feel like I am alone.

But just like what is said in psychology, if something is excessive, it is likely to have the opposite effect. Especially when stimulated by something.

Spain's alliance with the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire was based on the belief that powerful medicinal materials were used, and its use deeply affected Germany's self-esteem. The existence of France and Russia specifically targeting the German Empire gave the German Empire more reasons to prevent itself from being gloriously isolated.

Finally, what we see is the news that just came, that the German Empire and Italy have formed an alliance.

France only discovered this at the moment when the German Empire formed an alliance. Unknowingly, he was far away from Russia. Now if you look at the map. We can easily find that Spain's allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, are now on the front line around Russia, which blocks Russia's aid to France and adds another layer of obstacles.

The second level is naturally the German Empire and Italy. They will quite directly cut off the wall between France and Russia. Isolated and airtight. Even the sea route is like this. If you add Spain. Unless Britain is willing to take huge risks and allow France to escape from its own English Channel without risking offending the five major powers, including Germany, Italy, Spain, and Austria. What the final French national will most likely face is the consequences of direct partition.

Because of the new conflict between Spain and Italy, if France is most likely to make a comeback now, it is undoubtedly in the south. As long as Spain in the south gives up its encirclement and suppression of France, France will at least reduce its pressure by half and focus its energy on it. All used to deal with the east and north.

It is believable that France will choose to compromise with Spain at this time? Will this exciting scene happen? Also, how will Spain cope with the sudden and huge changes in Europe? As the alliance between France and Russia has been forcibly invalidated and turned into a less practical agreement, next, what will happen between Germany and Italy, led by Germany? It will not become a new competition pattern in Europe between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, led by Spain. And if it develops like this, then the great Britain, which pursues glorious revolution, and the people who have been protected within it will not dare to mess up. How will France, which is in turmoil, and Russia, which is completely marginalized, participate in the game of Europe and the world in the future? This is something that deserves the attention of all people in Europe and even the world. I believe that any change here is likely to determine what kind of situation you will face in your next life. Finally, I want to say, God hopes Peace! "

"Bullshit peace" Alfonso hadn't spoken like this for a long time, but when he saw the last sentence, he couldn't help but burst out.

"Don't look at me, this is simply too infuriating. As the chief royal think tank of Britain, the world's largest colonial country, this guy Edward George has the nerve to say something about loving peace. He is just like a It's ridiculous for the Duke to say that he comes like a little beggar."

"Your Majesty is right. The British are all hypocrites. Just like what he said this time, it seems that the situation in Europe has nothing to do with the United Kingdom. Obviously everyone knows that Europe has developed into what it is now, which is very important. To a certain extent, the UK also has a lot of responsibility. But now it seems that it doesn't care about their affairs, and it really seems like the kind of people who only take benefits and don't do any work," Creston said. As expected of a soldier, he speaks very directly.

Chief of General Staff Jack Stern also spoke: "Let's ignore what Edward George said next, but his previous analysis is still very insightful. Your Majesty, I think the situation we are facing now is very uncertain. The factors are inside, at this time, we need to be more cautious."

Alfonso did not answer directly, but looked at Trini and Eugene beside him, "Trini, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, are you trying to harm me? It's up to you to tell me." Trini was so rogue that he turned down Alfonso's request. This made Creston and Jaxon frown involuntarily. He looked at him somewhat unkindly.

Naturally, this scene was seen by Eugene and Trini, and you had a look of helplessness on your face. He even glared at Alfonso dissatisfied, which made Creston snort with strong dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Creston, don't misunderstand Trini. In fact, he also feels aggrieved, especially in front of you two military bosses."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Jaxon also looked at Alfonso in confusion, then looked at Trini and Eugene, as if suspicious.

Eugene spoke at this time, "It's very simple, because we originally came up with this poem."

"What, Prime Minister, you mean, you mean we did it. Isn't this incredible?"

"There is nothing incredible about this." Trini glared back at the two of them, "Don't forget how Spain has developed over the years. Under the leadership of His Majesty, have there not been many miracles in Spain over the years? This time Our plan is to let those big countries step into the route we designed step by step under the circumstances designed by His Majesty himself."

Seeing that Jack Sean and Creston still didn't want to believe it, Alfonso felt more satisfied than dissatisfied with their ability to understand. "Even [you] are like this, which proves that people in other parts of the world are also like this. As early as a few years ago, after Britain was willing to ally with Russia under the persuasion of France, I began to think about how to crack this big problem. After all, if these countries are really unbreakably united, then unless the German Empire, Spain, Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire all sincerely unite to deal with them, otherwise , the chance of winning is still very small.”

"Your Majesty would think so" Jaxon questioned extremely seriously. In his opinion, it should be said that they are almost evenly matched. "

"Evenly matched, no, your statement is completely wrong." Alfonso sighed: "I don't know if you have thought of what I said before. The current military is mainly based on the navy. It belongs to the maritime age. Who controls it?" Whoever controls the ocean will gain world hegemony. Why did Britain seize the Suez Canal and go to war with the Ottoman Empire directly? Also, despite how tough we were back then, Britain was just unwilling to return Gibraltar. Give us, plus the control of South Africa, and it will not hesitate to fight with immigrants from all Europe, and it will not hesitate to offend all of Europe in the end. In addition, the Strait of Malacca in the Far East is also controlled by the United Kingdom. You can imagine Let’s take a look, if we join these countries to deal with Britain, will we still be able to operate so freely on the sea? Maybe you will also say that we can provide supplies on land, but in Africa, we are facing France’s colonies there. In the Middle East, the British colonies and the Russian mainland have all trapped us. Do you think our chances will be greater?"

"So, Your Majesty has already calculated that Britain will not sincerely sympathize with Russia and France and provides the right medicine. Your Majesty, could it be that he had already calculated correctly a few years ago and wants to use this to put pressure on France and Russia? "Eugene didn't speak, but his ability to hit the point directly when he spoke still made Alfonso very satisfied.

"Yes, the biggest reason is France. This time I will see if France has any qualifications to bargain with us. Hehehe, Creston and Jackson, get ready. November 8th is the day we France’s first territorial dispute negotiation, and I have already arranged it. By then, in Benghazi, Libya, and the Gulf of Sirte between Tripoli. We will conduct military operations together with troops from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. A joint land and sea amphibious exercise, remember, try to make the scene as grand as possible, so that the French can refresh themselves."
