Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

On July 25, 1912, in the geographical center of southeastern Europe, Macedonia officially announced that they had gained autonomy from the Ottoman Empire but with the support of Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Afghanistan and other countries supporting independence. The Ottoman Empire became independent, opposed the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and expressed its gratitude to the above-mentioned countries for their support.

This naturally did not satisfy the Ottoman Empire, so on the second day, the Ottoman King Mohammed V severely condemned Macedonia's independence policy and expressed dissatisfaction with other countries for helping Macedonia in the independence process. .

"We will retain the power to use force to counter insurgency. We will not make any compromises. We hope that other countries will not make any wrong decisions in order to maintain peace in Europe."

Muhammad V's public speeches and appeals did not gain other countries' so-called positions. On the contrary, Muhammad V's threats to use force attracted the attention of these countries. However, because the Ottoman Empire now Except for Montenegro, which nominally belongs to the Ottoman Empire, but its governance is in the hands of Spain, they have nothing to connect with Albania. Naturally, there is no Macedonian territory that can enter the inland area. Therefore, , everyone just regarded this as the Ottoman Empire just uttering harsh words when it could do nothing.

They didn't take it seriously, and even the newly established Macedonia celebrated their independent success with singing and dancing. However, because of the existence of Montenegro, many people have set their sights on Spain. Because, if Spain transfers the control of Montenegro at this time or borrows the passage inside to the Ottoman Empire, or if Spain directly sends troops, then Macedonia will be in very danger. [

However, until July 31, there was indeed no change in Montenegro under Spanish jurisdiction, and the Spanish garrison fleet inside continued to operate as usual. On the Spanish mainland, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense also made it clear that Spain has no plans to participate in the Balkan Macedonian crisis and has no preparations for war.

"We have never thought about fighting in Macedonia. Our soldiers have been fighting everywhere in the past few years. They are very tired for the glory of our great Spain, so the previous words of our king already represent the decision of our Ministry of National Defense. We will continue to adhere to His Majesty's statement. Therefore, the Spanish Ministry of Defense will continue to pay attention to the incident and the impact of changes in Macedonia on us. Of course, our best choice is not to participate in the war. Desired results.”

"Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also currently assessing the effects and impacts in the region. We will analyze the situation according to the situation before giving you a complete Spanish policy. Now, we call on the Macedonian and Ottoman Empire governments to sit down and make peace. Negotiation, this is the best result, not who threatens whom. Of course, things are too complicated, and we don’t seem to understand some things. Therefore, we should observe first and then conduct a press conference to inform us. Let’s decide”

The heads of Spain's two most important departments have issued such information one after another, letting many countries know that Spain is very likely to choose to sit on the sidelines this time. Such lukewarm remarks have surprised many countries and at the same time I think it makes sense.

Especially the United Kingdom, Russia, France, Italy, Greece, Seville, Southern Albania, etc., so they have also relaxed their vigilance. It is believed that the Ottoman Empire will find it difficult to threaten Macedonia without Spain.

"The Ottoman Empire is a paper tiger. Under desperate circumstances, they can only pretend to be like a tiger and roar twice to make its existence felt. They are just unwilling to become a declining empire and they are unwilling to admit it. Such a result is an inevitable reflection. "This is the largest new media in the UK and now the second largest newspaper in the UK.

"Yes" Chirac said firmly, hesitating for a moment. , Chirac said: "But Your Majesty, our manpower in Portugal seems to be a little too active now. Will this cause His Majesty Manuel II to be dissatisfied? I think he should also know that we have a lot of people." Should those who conduct intelligence activities in Portugal avoid misunderstandings? Should we?”

"No." Alfonso looked at Chirac with gleaming eyes. After 5 seconds, he said: "You also said that he knows that there are many of us there. Since he knows that we have people there, no matter whether it is people He can't let go whether there are more or fewer people, and more importantly, he will never believe us when we tell him the number of our manpower, and will also doubt our other manpower. In this case, why bother?

Moreover, no country in the world can truly disclose its intelligence agencies to other countries. From the time we announced our personnel in Portugal, we later released intelligence in Angola, Mozambique, and even in the Far East, such as Macau and East Timor. agencies, and then immediately release our global intelligence network at their request?

This actually turns our people into their tools in disguise, and even puts our people in danger when an accident occurs. So, do your thing and I'll take care of the rest, you know? "

"Yes" Chirac lowered his head in shame.

"Okay, let's go down. I hope you can reflect on it after you go down, and then write me a self-examination report. Let's go down."

After saluting, Chirac walked out of the secret room.

"It seems that people really understand emotions too well. I just don't know how the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty did it. If there is a way, I really hope to get some emotional guys to play with." Al Fang Suo said jokingly.

On August 1, 1912, in Macedonia, suddenly after a gunshot, there was the rumbling sound of a huge cannon. This gunshot caused a huge shock in the world. (To be continued...)
