Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Joseph I, who was far away in Vienna, suddenly had a smile on his face. He had already known what the French would do, and he had already taken into account the British reaction.

"We in the British Empire say very seriously that we hope this incident will not happen again. Our Constanta is Romania's life port, one of the country's important sources of economic supplies. This port has now fallen to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the hands of Romania, this is definitely one of the huge threats to Romania with a population of several million. We call on the Austro-Hungarian Empire to return the country’s Constanta Port based on humanitarian principles.

In addition, the British government hopes that Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia will stop the continuing war. Now is the time for negotiations. "This is the call made by British Foreign Secretary Edward Gray this morning.

"Edward Gray's diplomatic vocabulary is still so professional"

"Yes, but unfortunately, being so professional now has made many people too lazy to listen to it. Britain has begun to decline. The ocean is no longer the past when Britain was the only one. Many of Britain's rights have been taken away. Other countries have been diluted and gone, and now they are just like what Principal Bart said about France just now, they are just hungry, slightly more ferocious and croaking little antelopes."

Archduke Ferdinand was a very tall man with a calm and powerful face. I don’t know if it was due to genes. Many people found that their families were all stamped with the same stamp, and their faces were very similar. In addition, Ferdinandius' father and son are now similar to Joseph I, so Ferdinand has begun to be treated by many kings. The most important thing to the guards was that their similar appearance made him more likely to become the new king of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Perhaps because of this, Joseph I has begun to transfer many things to the other party and has entered the stage of being a trainee king. This is why Ferdinand is making the final decision on many things in this war with Russia. reason.

The transfer of power in a family must go through turbulence, and their family can still afford to experience such turmoil. Moreover. The current turmoil is a turmoil that is quite beneficial to him. Now that Joseph I thinks about it, he should be worried. It should be the polar bear in the east.

"Continue your action. Now. Our neighbors on the back have begun to get excited. And the stupid bear in the east has also begun to realize something. If he cannot complete the task we have assigned this time, then the final bitter fruit may be There are some and we accept them.”

Although Joseph I spoke lightly, Ferdinand's face was extremely solemn when he heard it. He was actually in charge of this matter, or what happened in the past few days. His uncle was already old. , although he is still relatively strong, at the age of 83, he still seems a bit careless in terms of energy. This is why Ferdinand has now begun to take over.

"Actually, when you said you wanted to form an alliance with Spain, I was a little dissatisfied." Joseph I shook his head and sighed: "However, I was also a little obsessed at the time, and I actually wanted to share some of Spain's welfare policies. In the end Agreed, after all, no matter how the German Empire changes, it will not be able to leave us, and the German Empire will not be able to leave us. Surrounded by Britain, France, Russia, and Russia, if they fall out with us again because of this, what will happen to them? It’s really a dumpling. Therefore, in order to provide assistance to Spain and many other welfare policies, I finally agreed to your sudden adjustment of diplomatic policies. Joining this country for more than a year has indeed accelerated the economic development of the Austro-Hungarian Empire a lot. This It has brought a lot of revenue to our finances, but now we have discovered that actually speaking of politics, we are more compatible with the German Empire. Please continue to listen to me."

Joseph stopped Ferdinand from interrupting and said seriously: "Spain is far away on the other side of the Mediterranean. Although the Ottoman Empire is allied with Spain, everyone knows what kind of country the Ottoman Empire is. What is Spain's plan? We have already obtained some important information since the Hassa region fell into the hands of Spain. Therefore, although we cannot prevent Spain from communicating with our allies, we can appropriately control the German Empire on this issue. If we tilt it a little, we might get some slightly undiscovered benefits."

Joseph I is worthy of being an old fox. He has survived in the world's political arena for many years. During his 65 years as king, he has definitely been trained to become an old fox. Although he is old, the saying that the older he gets, the better he gets, is not untrue.

Ferdinand obviously understood this, so he had no intention of refuting.

At this time, Bart's voice came from the radio, which made both of them stop. .

"Tsarist Russia is a very ambitious country. Of course, if you look at it from your own point of view, this ambition can also be said to be expectations. Tsarist Russia is now the largest country in the world, from east to west and from south to north. , this has attracted the attention of the entire Eurasian continent. In turn, it has also made many surrounding countries suspicious of it. Japan in the Far East is a country. In the Far East, China, which is now divided, is also It has also been invaded by this country many times, and is still on guard against it.

In the Middle East, in the Persian Qajar dynasty, Britain and Tsarist Russia were fighting over who was the semi-colonial ruler of this (Muslim) (Shi)ite dynasty. Their actions in the Caucasus and the Balkans had already caused the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia to It has reached the point of being a life-and-death enemy, and in the Balkans and Central and Eastern Europe, these two places have already allowed the Austro-Hungarian Empire to even choose to ally with Spain in order to compete with Tsarist Russia. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Germany around the Baltic Sea , Tsarist Russia did not gain the reassurance of these countries, and the same was true for Britain and Spain, which had important interests in the Norwegian Sea. This was the effect brought by Tsarist Russia. Now, let’s talk about this country, which may be surrounded by enemies, and what its current situation is.”

Lafite took it. Asked: "Tsarist Russia has now fallen into a four-week war. The Far East, Britain, Germany, West and Japan have almost established a firm foothold on the territory of the former Tsarist Russia in the Far East. Now it is said that Tsarist Russia intends to compromise with Japan and make territorial concessions in order to achieve The land in the Chantal Islands area was given to Japan as a condition for Japan to stop increasing its troops in the Far East.

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it has proved that Tsarist Russia is very difficult to deal with in the Far East. Now, it is with the help of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so many people think that this time the Japanese should thank Austria-Hungary for this unexpected help. OK"

Bart nodded: "The help from the Austro-Hungarian Empire this time can indeed be regarded as an unexpected blessing. It's just that we don't know whether Japan will accept this unexpected blessing. How big Japan's appetite is is unknown to many people. Tsarist Russia is now considering the problem of military strength before agreeing. Come to think of it, Nicholas II also knows that he cannot be too soft now.

Of course. This may also be a trap. After all, for many people, when they see Tsarist Russia subjugating Japan, they may think that Tsarist Russia can no longer withstand it. This makes Tsarist Russia’s enemies, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Japan, which are currently at war, unable to help but add insult to injury in order to obtain more benefits. If Tsarist Russia has such an idea or If there is such a method, then these sudden outstanding birds will be a little miserable. After all, under a sudden attack

At that time, it will no longer be a battle that I can be sure of.”

Steve strongly agreed, "The Prime Minister of Tsarist Russia, Stolypin, is a very powerful figure. Tsarist Russia has been able to fight everywhere in recent years without interruption in food and other logistics. This is a great credit to him. Therefore, this person is also Became the object of attention of many big countries at that time, and Pobesnodozav was also a very powerful religious figure. Both of them were the right-hand men of the tsar. Although it was said that the tsar had fainted, but there was no Due to the constraints of the Tsar, these two people may be able to carry out strategic planning more freely."

The words of these two people aroused a burst of surprise. Even so, they also aroused a large number of voices of agreement. This is especially true for other great powers such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

But what these people don't know is that the things they have been talking about are already happening in the Far East, because there are Spanish broadcasts in Japan broadcasting at the same time, and due to the time difference, it is still late at night in the Far East.

Japan is a very ambitious country, as you can know from the fact that Yin Teng Hirobumi was directly appointed as the governor of the Korean Peninsula. But this time, Spain casually jumped to the Far East of Tsarist Russia. Even when many attacks were impossible, it still held on. This was a deep breath for many powerful countries. tone. After all, if you face such an enemy, it will be very troublesome.

Tsarist Russia has obviously realized this, so during this period of time, Tsarist Russia has slowly begun to contact each other. It is obvious that it has the idea of ​​​​breaking the pot and wants to exchange small benefits for the tranquility of the Far East. But Japan is unwilling. Wanting more benefits is definitely a huge insult to Tsarist Russia, which has always only been able to get in and out.

St. Petersburg, the current royal capital of Tsarist Russia, is already in a state of turmoil, especially after the news came out that Nicholas II was so lucky that he was attacked by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and did not wake up for almost a day. .

"Your Majesty, there has been widespread news in my area that you fainted and have not yet woken up. This time, even Spain believed it. This time, "Lafite Sees the World" has already discussed this issue. Come to think of it, this time in the Far East Those little dwarfs probably won’t miss such an opportunity.”

Storey's piercing eyes suddenly emitted a fiery light. It was obvious that his heart was not at peace now.

The same is true for the few people around him. They seem to be like fishermen who have put out a net, imagining that the waiting fish will catch the net. But, will this big fish take the bait? And in the dark night of the Far East, are there really big fish like that swimming out at night? (To be continued...)
