Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 535: Everyone stands on their own hilltops

London.

"The Americans really don't make people worry. Although we were notified of such actions this time, it was only on the eve, so we can't completely rest assured about them."

Churchill looked at the telegram on the table with complicated eyes. This was brought here by his teacher, the current British Prime Minister Asquith.

What is recorded above is all collected by the British government about the recent troop surge activities in the United States. In front of British senior officials like him, the little trick that the United States announced to the outside world could not be hidden from the world, but how could it be hidden from the designers like them.

Therefore, Churchill is now beginning to become complicated about his previous attitude towards the United States.

"Spain has clearly begun to take advantage. The current pressure on the United States alone has made the United States too tired to cope with it. If it works harder, the United States may really shake its previous decision. This is definitely not what he wants to see. , it is not what Prime Minister Asquith saw, and it is not a consequence that the entire UK can easily bear. After all, if Spain is really bold enough to provoke a provocation and defeat the United States in one battle, even if it only cripples the United States, That will also make Britain's position in North America very passive. Canada, an overseas autonomous country, will slowly fight for the shackles from Britain, and even link up with the situation in the United States to enter riots. After all, there are many places there now. But the French are in charge, and the proportion of French people in the population is also very large."

French? Churchill looked to the west and frowned suddenly.

"The French are not people who keep their peace. Every time there is a game in Europe. France has been the main force since its rise. Who knows whether they will suddenly intervene and make the situation change drastically."

"After all, although the French are currently focusing their attention mainly on Germany, there is no guarantee that after the German Empire takes action, it will follow suit. If that is the case, then the situation in Europe and even the world will be very chaotic. "

Thinking of this, Churchill suddenly felt a headache. Not just him, but now the top leaders of the British government are oppressed by this.

Asquith's headache was the simplest. The Americans offer many conditions that are not what allies should have. It was as if Britain was born to help the United States and was destined by God. This made Asquith very angry.

However, it seemed that he was definitely being eaten. There is really no reason not to help the United States. Is it just because the attitude of the United States has angered me? Then because of their attitude, Britain stopped watching their battle with Spain. In this case, there is no need to think about the final result. The United States will definitely not be able to hold on for long before it will voluntarily admit defeat.

Asquith looked deeper. That is, the United States is a country that does not yet have national unity. It does not have the sense of honor and mission of the aristocracy like European countries. They are just a group of upstarts and a group of prisoners who later [rioted] and [independence] It's just a country that was established.

Moreover, the people at the top are all the biggest capitalists. As long as the Spanish army marches into the areas of power of these respective capitalist families, in order to protect the interests of the family from harm, will these families form alliances with other families to fight against foreign enemies? Then the result is a polydomino effect. These big companies and big capitalists are the vanguard, and then the United States may fall like this.

And here, maybe when the time comes, huge giants such as Morgan will also be interested in promoting it. After all, Spain’s capital world is also a good place.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the United Kingdom where he lived. The United Kingdom seemed to be slowly declining over the years. This was undeniable. Since 1830, the world hegemony that the United Kingdom had established began to slip to the level of common ground with other major countries. Prepare for a situation where you can manage the world.

It is precisely because of this that Britain is in urgent need of a natural and long-term ally. Originally, Spain was good. After all, the two countries did not have much friction except for a few disputes in the Atlantic. However, as Spain's ambitions grew, , coupled with Britain's concerns about the German Empire in the past few years, caused Spain to double its expansion and reach its current situation. It's really unbelievable, and it makes them feel seriously threatened.

France was originally a good partner. It could allow Britain to advance, attack, retreat and defend against the European continent, especially the German Empire and Tsarist Russia. Originally this was a good diplomatic strategy, but with the rise of the south, France suddenly lost a lot of points, because France and Spain finally formed an alliance. This made Britain break out in a cold sweat after knowing it.

Even conversely, the British government should be grateful that the existence of the German Empire allowed the power of the West-France alliance to be checked and balanced.

As for the German Empire, if it were in the past, the best choice for Britain would be to form an alliance with the German Empire. However, since the two countries no longer have a tacit understanding and even have concerns about each other, it is still very clear that the strong will is not sweet. of.

So looking around the world, Japan and the UK look down on and cannot believe it. Only the United States can give it a try, because at least the majority of people in the United States are of British descent and it is also an English-speaking country. Naturally, people with the same roots and the same language are more trustworthy.

Taking everything into consideration, Asquith still believes that the United States still needs help. As for how to help, you have to grasp a standard.

After thinking about everything, he finally decided to put the issue on the agenda the next day. Of course, King George VI also needs some explanation.

Alfonso didn't know about the "general mobilization" in the UK. He is still very busy now. Some time ago he inspected the Western Australia aircraft carrier again, and a few days ago he inspected the aircraft at the Madrid Air Force Base, so now He has really fallen into the world of weapons.

In fact, in his last life, he was really not very familiar with weapons. He only knew a general development trend. As for the actual details, he really didn't understand much, so what he could do was to grasp a general direction and the rest. What came down was their imagination.

If July is the month that attracts attention because the atmosphere of provocation is depressing, then, enter August. This kind of breath becomes even stronger, and even makes people feel suffocated.

On August 8, the British and Canadian governments jointly announced in Toronto that in order to suppress piracy off Canada's coast, a naval base would be established on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific. The British Navy would assist Canada in combating piracy.

As soon as this news came out, people immediately thought about it. Are there pirates off the coast of Canada? This statement is really hard to agree with. It is obvious that Xiangzhuang's sword dance is not about wine, but about Pei Gong.

Moreover, the two countries have not announced how many naval warships the UK will station at these two naval bases, nor how long they will be stationed.

No one can treat such news as a simple incident.

However, after a pause for a few days, it was overshadowed by another piece of news, because the German Empire, a country that had not made much noise until now, seemed to be afraid that Britain, Spain, France and other countries would steal the limelight. This time came to the forefront.

"We don't have any intentions. We just hope that we can manage our country well and protect our country. Therefore, we can only join hands and help each other in this way."

This was William II's explanation after standing in the middle and personally holding the hands of the King of Austria on the right and the King of Italy on the left after taking a photo, and also announced that these three countries had officially entered the process of making the world of allies public. To announce their heavyweight role in Europe and the world.

Although many people know that these three countries are allies, they have not made it public. However, choosing this time to proceed makes people inevitably doubt their purpose. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Now Britain has faintly stood behind the United States. As soon as the honeymoon period between Japan and Spain was over, they also moved to the UK and fell into the arms of the UK.

Everyone knows that France and Spain are friendly, but Tsarist Russia's recent diplomatic signals have made people feel their independence, and it is difficult for people to feel the role of Tsarist Russia. Therefore, the German Empire formed a gang and obviously wanted to let the world know that they were the masters of the three mountains. This reminds people of the world where Somali pirates are prevalent. It is easier to recruit troops when a strong force grows. Obviously, Germany has already used it. Another way to put it is that they are trying to steal each other's younger brothers.

Now Britain and the German Empire have laid out their moves. It seems that these two parties are already waiting for their opponents to make moves. Therefore, many people are now waiting to see how Spain will respond. After all, from now on, it seems that based on Spain's past practices, this should not be disappointing.

"Of course we can't let them down. Since Spain has already made such momentum, it has already prepared for the confrontation. So now, we can say firmly that we in Spain have no intention of letting them laugh. , they should take a good look, Spain is enough for them to look at each other in the current world."

"Yes, we Spaniards must not sink again. Spain is the country in our hearts now. Therefore, we should support the king and support the government to be tougher on the outside world. This will make the government more trustworthy." Be confident.”

. . . . . .

"Your Majesty, the whole of Spain is now filled with opinions about being tough on the outside world, and many people are even willing to donate money to fund the country's military establishment. It can be seen that the current country has stood at the point of national unity."

Alfonso came forward, and now Trini said proudly.

Alfonso pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, we have to add a fire, a fire from the outside world." (To be continued...)
