Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

In this age of war, naturally, everywhere is full of spies from the other side. Greece only has 350,000 troops. Naturally, many countries know this, because Greece had no intention of keeping it secret when it was confident. mean.

So naturally, other countries can obtain this real data without any extra effort.

Similarly, Serbia and Romania also seem to be somewhat confident with the support of Russia. Therefore, just like Macedonia at the beginning, they feel that they are not a big threat, and now Russia has 100,000 people in the two countries. They seemed to be an elite force, naturally. They do not think that they will be hit even more. On the contrary, they feel that the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria should be worried, because with the Russian army, they now threaten these two countries.

But, is this really the case?

Someone has said that on the battlefield, one cannot underestimate the ability of any enemy. Now, Serbia and Romania are tired of such mistakes, so they are destined to pay a heavy price.

"What, you mean, Franz Joseph I also joined in?" Alfonso was really surprised this time, "It's not that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has nothing to gain this time, so it chose to wait and see. Has it changed? Why, have they found any advantages?"

Joseph I was a well-known person who liked to care about gains and losses. If he stood up at this time, there must be some benefits waiting for him. Therefore, Alfonso was a little curious as to what was the reason that made him directly participate in the war regardless of the danger.

Prime Minister Chavez, who was next to Alfonso, also looked at Foreign Minister Trini with some surprise and wanted to hear what was going on.

"The Austro-Hungarian Empire obviously also knows the seriousness of this matter, so they have no plans to hide it from us. It is said that the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria have already met through their ambassadors to the Austria-Hungary Empire to express their support for the Austria-Hungary Empire. The Hungarian Empire sent troops to invade Serbia, and was willing to wait until the Austro-Hungarian Empire took over the area around Novi Sad and Zrenjayu, the home region of Serbia. Obviously, Joseph I should have been moved by this. reason"

"Your Majesty. This is understandable," Chavez said suddenly. Seeing Alfonso looking over, Chavez explained: "Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire suddenly became independent of Russia and the Ottoman Empire, they chose to directly entrust Bosnia and Herzegovina to their territory. Although Russia and the Ottoman Empire finally chose to have no choice but to Accept it. But the Serbs did not really mean to let it go. Therefore, the final result was naturally that, knowing that it was not enough for the Austro-Hungarian Empire to force it, the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina began to make small chaos. The Austro-Hungarian Empire continued to cause trouble. This had aroused the dissatisfaction and concern of Joseph I, and even made Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince, directly express his desire to quell the chaos. You must know that Archduke Ferdinand originally suggested Bosnia and Herzegovina has suffered from all the people in Brother Ao, isn’t this a slap in his face?

And Novi Sad is right next to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the center of the place closest to the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It can be said that it is a place that continuously provides ammunition for Bosnia and Herzegovina to cause trouble. And what is more important is that here It is a very important place because it is located just east of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, south of Hungary in Austria-Hungary, west of Romania, and north of Serbia. Such a location is absolutely unique to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It's a big threat, because as long as you send troops here, you can quickly attack the hinterland of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. If there are enough troops, you can directly send troops to occupy the city of Pecs in the west of Hungary, near Novi Saka. After that, it was equivalent to being at the center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and other places could be reached from everywhere.

Therefore, Bulgaria and Bulgaria should also have noticed this, so they used this as bait to catch the Austro-Hungarian Empire? And judging from the current situation, their bait was successful, and Joseph I was really moved."

Alfonso nodded in agreement, thinking that at the beginning, Spain just wanted to obtain a strategic point that was not threatened by other countries, so it did not hesitate to fight several wars for this purpose. The current mood of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is therefore understandable. However, if the Austro-Hungarian Empire is really dragged into the war, what will Spain do then? Should it join the war to help Spain's two largest allies? Or choose to continue to watch? Alfonso put the question to both of them.

"Not participating," Chavez and Trini actually replied in unison.

Alfonso looked a little funny. For more than ten years, these two people have been sworn enemies and scolded each other. Now, even though they are in a higher and lower position, they still don't take it too seriously and continue to carry on. He was belittling the other party, but now it's better. He said the same sentence directly, which was really interesting.

The person born in Trini held out his hand and asked the other party to speak first. Chavez was not polite at all. Obviously, there are advantages to being a higher official. However, there is no way to know whether Trini, the gentleman behind the scenes, is really such a gentleman.

Alfonso appeared to be listening, waiting for Chavez's explanation.

"As His Majesty said before, what we need now is to watch. In fact, this is the biggest intimidation force, and it also indirectly helps them. After all, we have such a powerful country supporting them behind the scenes. Other powerful countries want to To attack them, we have to take into account our reaction. Moreover, this time they are invading other countries. This is morally untenable for us. It is also consistent with His Majesty’s previous declaration that he will no longer participate in the invasion of other countries. The statement is contradictory, so we still choose to watch the best."

Chavez's words made Alfonso couldn't help but nod his head and set his sights on you, the special case.

The latter said: "Also, in fact, the biggest advantage of us watching is that we can continue to sell our weapons. Originally, the weapons market of the Ottoman Empire in our navy was still a bit small, but now with the addition of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it will It’s different, but it’s a pity that Bulgaria is ruled by the Germans, otherwise, it would definitely be a profit.”

Alfonso's first thought was that this guy was a money addict, a hard-blooded man who would fight for the life of mankind just to make money. However, when he thought about this era, Alfonso became indifferent. This is an era that cares little about human life. It is an era that ignores human life under the guise of war everywhere. When it comes to human rights, screw it, you can talk about it after you go to heaven. This is a passionate era where money and military power come first. With military power, you have the final say in everything. You have a big fist. Regardless of whether you are justified or not, you will receive the respect of other countries. Otherwise, it will be the opposite.

"Since you have said so, and there are so many benefits, then, just do as you say and watch." Alfonso thought about it again and said with a smile on his face: "I want to see, we What kind of ups and downs will Europe bring to them if these two European super wolfdogs are released?"

Two European giant wolfdogs! Chavez and Trini were stunned for a moment, and then had strange expressions on their faces, thinking in their hearts: "If the kings and citizens of Austria-Hungary and Ottoman knew that they actually felt like this in His Majesty's heart. Image, I wonder if I will go crazy because of this and break away from Spain directly."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a bit of bitterness in their smiles. Your Majesty, this metaphor really made them a little bit difficult to accept. It was so hurtful.

Because of Serbia's feud with Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, their current domestic army of 280,000 has been able to disrupt the previous distribution. In the past, the main enemy was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so the important defensive positions of their army were in the north and west. However, with the occupation of Macedonia and the fall of Bulgaria to the Ottoman Empire, this has been disrupted. They followed their steps, so according to the situation, they made adjustments. The previous 200,000 veterans now deployed 160,000 troops to the south, stationed in Niš to defend Bulgaria, and Novi Pazar to defend Eighty thousand Ottoman troops in Macedonia in the south.

80,000 new troops and 40,000 were used by Serbia to defend the Spanish army in Montenegro. The remaining 40,000 newly recruited troops were placed in the north in Novi Sad, and the remaining 40,000 veterans were placed in the capital. Next to Zemun of Belgrade.

Originally, this distribution was absolutely reasonable. After all, Spain still had the possibility of attacking Serbia, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was struggling with the governance of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the two major threats in the south were currently the most important. Therefore, Placing more than the average army in the south is the most practical and smart move. Now Russian Tsar Nicholas II from St. Petersburg also agrees with this deployment approach.

However, they have forgotten the most important thing, that is, Serbia’s enemies can also change their enemies, especially the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Their enemies were originally formed by the Serbians, so when Austria-Hungary When the empire wants to attack the culprits of these troublemakers, do you think the two countries can still be at peace? Moreover, there is the example of Bulgaria, which is a prerequisite for giving way and acquiring land. It is strange that the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a country with full land ambitions, is willing to give up such acquired fat. Therefore, the situation has definitely changed greatly this time. The changes are dizzyingly fast. (To be continued...)
