Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 357 Cabinet Meeting (2)

() The two quickly looked away, and Dumelo continued: "After that, the collision between Britain and Spain turned out to be so confusing. If you think about it carefully, how can the two countries be at odds with each other? At that time, Britain and Spain miraculously did not have any exchange of fire. Then the relationship between Spain and Germany increased fiercely. The United Kingdom only stated that it was worried about this at a regular press conference. Then, Britain has always been tolerant to Spain on the African issue, and on the South American issue, there is obviously some suspicion of indifference between Spain and the United States. , and has a somewhat indulgent attitude toward Spain, just like the Middle East. In fact, I have always had very big doubts about the relationship between the United Kingdom and Spain. The biggest doubt I have is that the relationship between the United Kingdom and Spain will not It’s a true alliance!”

"What?" Everyone looked at Dumelo in great surprise, obviously shocked by such suspicion. Then, many people became suspicious.

"Look, when Spain was in decline, Britain had always looked down upon Spain, and even often suppressed Spain's status in Portugal because of Gibraltar's wishes. But since then, the relationship between the two countries has been on the rise. , so isn’t this a good proof?”...

"But Prime Minister, why is Britain at odds with Spain over the Portuguese issue? I am a soldier, and I understand that it is not fake, it is real. I have seen those scenes."

The speaker was French Navy Minister Camille Pelletin.

Yes, Militan is right. Why are Britain and Spain so at odds with each other? Everyone is a politician and understands that some things can be faked, but some things, especially the national sentiment between the two countries, cannot be faked.

"Let me tell you." What no one expected was that Paul Dume would stand up and speak at this time, so they all turned their attention to Paul Dume and saw him saying:

"There was indeed a conflict between Britain and Spain at that time. This cannot be concealed. And the conflict was Portugal, because Portugal has always been a fortress and control block used by Britain to prevent Spain from entering and exiting the Strait of Gibraltar. However, the rise of Spain has already touched the It is very simple. Britain is dissatisfied with Spain. According to the speculation and analysis of previous presidents, Britain should have agreed to form an alliance with Spain during the period of Queen Victoria. The background at that time was just Edward Herry Ou also said it. It is the mystery of the UK’s balance point on the European continent. It does not know which countries to balance which countries. Therefore, the UK should want to cultivate Spain to balance France, Russia and Germany and Austria. So everyone can see,

Spain tried its best to expand in the Mediterranean, but it was all in the western Mediterranean, but it did not really expand in the eastern Mediterranean, because that was the territory of the British, and Spain did not go there. The easternmost place was still in Libya. , that's the middle part. I originally thought it was because Spain was worried about Italy, but now that I think about it, I realized that it was just because it was worried about Britain. So now the relationship between Spain and Britain has entered a deep stage. After the first-level relationship, Italy's performance was directly torn apart by Spain and thrown to Germany.

Didn’t you see that Britain had no objections to Spain? There are also Gabon, Central Africa, Congo, etc. Spain's actions have deeply touched the heart of France, but Britain is still unmoved and silently praying for something, we don't know.

If it were the German Empire, I believe Britain would have already stood up and condemned the other three, but no, Britain still stood there blindly, still maintaining the valuable spirit of wait-and-see.

The same is true for Madagascar, where Britain is still indifferent and continues to exist like a stone statue. And the telegrams we sent many times to ask for help were all in vain. "

"But President, Spain has also launched a provocation against British interests on the Arabian Peninsula?" Millerand was speaking this time, and he asked with some disbelief.

Paul Dume laughed and said: "That's even simpler. Anyone familiar with the situation there knows that the Saudi family has always been resisting British help and is unwilling to throw themselves into the arms of the British. Such people are very distressed and Spain had a better advantage during the expansion period. Spain happened to have conflicts with Russia, and Britain had unclear grievances with the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, Britain did not dare to really advance north for fear of offending the Ottoman Empire's nerves. Spain's Naturally, the British agreed to their will, so we have seen Spain and the Ottoman Empire getting closer again and again. In my opinion, it was premeditated. The British exerted pressure and Spain was a good person to get close to. In this way, it would be easier for Spain to act. In the end, Libya got it, Spain got it in Al-Hassa, Spain even got the support of the Rashid family, and Britain got what it wanted, and got the support of the Saudi family. In this way, these two families got ruled the Arabian Peninsula.”

Not to mention, according to Paul Dume's analysis, everyone present felt that this was really the case. At this time, they felt that their hearts were about to jump out, because if Spain and Britain had this kind of relationship, then the world would be a little bit different. The excitement was too much.

Paul Dume didn't wait for them to rest for a moment, and continued to press hard: "Also, regarding the Dutch issue, Spain, the German Empire and Japan, it is obvious that the UK also has the function of releasing water, otherwise , if you really want to calculate it, when the British surrounded the Indonesian archipelago in Malaya, the Philippines, Myanmar, and even India, East Australia, etc., how could the other three countries obtain these territories so easily? If the British resisted If so, then things would not be like they are now, so this is all a deliberate act by the UK."

Louis Bardu said with doubt in his hoarse voice. Although Louis Bardu's voice was a bit gentle, people who are familiar with him know that he is one of the most tough-voiced cabinets in France. He already has a number of people in the cabinet. He has been there for several years, and he can be said to be of the same generation as Paul Dume, and the two of them are also good friends, so they still respect this good friend very much.

"But President, what's the point of doing this?"

"Of course that's trust," Paul Dume said mysteriously.

"Trust" several other people asked in unison like Louis Baldu.

"Yes, it's trust. Since we have assumed that Spain will form an alliance with Britain, it will be easy to handle. Take the incident with the Ottoman Empire just now as an example. Britain's release this time is actually to prepare for the next alliance of the three countries. A foreshadowing of land grabbing and space left behind.”

"The president is saying, could it be that the reason why Britain, Spain, Germany, and Japan formed a team to deal with Russia this time was because they had already started planning at that time. And it was Britain and Spain. This is incredible." Lian Zui Edward Herriot, the foreign minister, found it hard to believe such a plan because it was so crazy.

"Incredible doesn't mean there is none. Did you think that movies would be made in France and the United States? Can we make airplanes?" Gaston Dumelo said angrily.

"That's right." Paul Dume nodded in agreement: "The source of this alliance between the four countries is the result of the last touchstone, and after the last time Germany and Germany had a good meal, they have also become greedy, so this time Under Spain's instigation, it was absolutely impossible for them to refuse to join.

Now that you believe it, as well as the various contests between Spain and the United States in the Pacific, could Spain have gone on so smoothly without the support of Britain? "

"But what benefit does that have to Spain? I think you will ask this. It seems that the UK has not benefited. No, the benefits are real. Spain's joining makes it difficult for the United States to continue to cause trouble to the UK on the Canadian issue. Canada used to It is often mobilized by the United States to seek du li or greater autonomy, but now with the emergence of Spain in the south, the United States has begun to look to the Pacific and south to South America and the Caribbean, which makes the United Kingdom relax. A lot of energy.

In South America, the United States has always launched offensives, and Britain and France have only been able to parry. Especially the emergence of the Monroe Doctrine has always been a weapon of God hanging over our heads by the United States. The sword makes us, those countries in Europe who are fighting among themselves, afraid of the United States to deal with them, so in the end we watch the United States encroaching on the territorial colonization between South America and the Caribbean step by step. Therefore, the United Kingdom must have seen the reason why the United States was too strong in South America, and came up with the idea of ​​using Spain, the former suzerain country, to deal with Spain. That's why Spain's image project was completed so quickly. ,

The effect is also very good. Therefore, now the United States can only stay in America and watch South America. However, Brazil, the semi-sovereign country of the United Kingdom, continues to follow the United Kingdom. Such a result is naturally needed by the United Kingdom. Now South America has become a chess game for the three countries of Britain, Spain, and the United States to compete for hegemony. The United States is in Argentina and the Caribbean.

And what we know is even clearer. Spain's accession turned the Siam Empire, which was originally evenly matched, into a state where Britain, Spain, and France are now divided together after Spain's accession. Do you think this result is worthy of our utmost suspicion that Spain and Britain have already formed an alliance?"
