Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"After replacing him, who will replace him?" This is a very important question. If a mistake is not made, it may cause greater losses.

Stolypin thought for a while and finally said: "Although it is indeed necessary to replace people, we have to wait until the situation is more stable. To be honest, the situation is no longer under our control. It was originally an army of 100,000 for exercise, but No one knows how many people were secretly transferred there. The original 20,000 people in the German Empire alone have increased to 80,000 people. The number shown in the British newspaper is definitely not much different from here. Not to mention Japan. The mainland is so close to us. People can add troops there anywhere, even 300,000 or 500,000. One million is not impossible, and there is another one nearby. Spain is staring at us there, with a population of millions in Western Australia, hundreds of thousands of troops on the surface, and the naval base in Guam. Who knows how many troops from the mainland have secretly arrived there.

The protection route on the land in the far northeast is sometimes the most difficult for us to support, but Spain is also one of the world's leading naval powers. Calculating these calculations, we found that we cannot stop Spain, and Japan seems to be crazy about their military first. The economic strategy has led Japan to military nationalism. They are already a mad dog. I think they will never spit out the fat in their mouths. Just look at the Liaodong Peninsula if it were not for the intervention of Russia, Germany and France. If it were true, Japan had already occupied the Northeast of the Qing Dynasty and turned it into another Korean Peninsula. Now it is rare that the world's major powers are carving up our Far East. They will not give up, and may even deliberately try to make us look good with revengeful thoughts. "

Nicholas II had to find out in frustration that Stolypin's statement was really accurate, which made him even more discouraged. He was very unwilling to accept that the foundation built by his ancestors for hundreds of years was just like this. It is definitely in his own hands, which is definitely difficult for him to accept. Then he looked at Stolypin and Pobedonoschiev. He said a little frustrated: "Is there really no way to deal with it?"

"No, there is a way, but it depends. Can Your Majesty lower your body and take this opportunity from me?" Pobedonoschaif said unexpectedly.

This time Stolypin became interested.

Nicholas II was hopeful. The nearest person hurriedly asked: "What can I do?"

Pobiedonoschaif hesitated to speak, and it was obvious from a glance that he was hesitating.

Nicholas II felt like hundreds of ants were biting him, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Whatever you say. No matter how ugly the words are, I won't blame you."

Stolypin and Viteplevi secretly cursed Pobedonoschiev as an old fox. He was really cautious in doing things. However, thinking of his right to manage religion, the others had to give up their secret views on him. insulted.

Pobedonoschaif didn't know that he had already been involved in some piping fights with those people about their opinions on him. Even if he knew, it didn't matter to him.

When Nicholas II finished his words, he said: "It's very simple. We even regard this as an opportunity for us because of this. I think that over the years, although France has actually been an ally with us, France has also They are wary of our rapidly expanding territory, so they will fortify us from time to time, and the United States is even more so. There is a small Bering Strait between Alaska and our Kamchatka Territory and Chukotka Autonomous Region. , now that these are gone, this will easily give us political advantages in disguise. If, I think, really if we can't stand most of the land in the Far East, then I think we should make the most important decision now. Preparing for the worst"

"What's the plan?" Although Nicholas II didn't want to admit it, in the face of the four major powers, even one million Russian troops could not defend the Far East. Unlike Europe, it had a large population and a sufficient food supply. , but in the Far East, the total number of soldiers and civilians in the Far East is now less than one million. Considering the empire’s population of more than 170 million, this ratio is really too small. Even with the opening of the Far East Railway, It is also difficult to take advantage of the strong military power of the four countries. Nicholas II is not a fool. On the contrary, his enthusiasm for expansion is destined to have good military talents, so he is quite different from Donoschaif's words. , but it spoke to the worries deep in his heart. He glanced at Pobedonoschaif and sighed to himself, this guy is indeed dedicated to religious activities, and he is indeed as capable of deceiving people's hearts as those priests, godfathers and bishops.

Storepin and others feel the same way.

"Since the entire Far East cannot be defended, just as the Prime Minister said, we will prepare for the worst. It seems that I cannot hold the Primorsky Territory in the south. The German Empire has 80,000 troops. We know that the German Empire is determined to take it down this time, so even if we send more troops up there, the final result will be sudden. Don’t forget, the Marshall Islands are also the naval base of the German Empire. , as well as the island of Sulawesi just acquired from the Netherlands and the island of German New Guinea, which was originally the most important colony of the German Empire in the Far East, plus the semi-colony of the German Empire on the Shandong Peninsula of the Qing Dynasty, these are all German The Empire can attack our frontline pillars, especially the Shandong Peninsula. From there, as long as it passes through the Korean Strait and enters the Sea of ​​Japan, it can assist the German troops in the Primorsky Krai. It can be said that there is no real worry about assistance.

Next up is Spain. This time Spain has not opened up the possibility of a plundering war in the place where we really have a war. No need to think about it now, we also know that even if Kamchatka Krai, Chukotka Autonomous Region and Magadan Oblast have not fallen now, they will They were quickly defeated in front of 20,000 Spanish elites. Therefore, Spain is just like the German Empire, and it is difficult for us to change them. I even suspect that Spain has already calculated that there is nothing we can do against them."

When Nicholas II heard about Spain again, he couldn't help but cursed: "These bitches knew it was Spain as soon as they saw what happened this time. Last time it was Svalbard, and later it was Spain." It’s the Franz Josef Land Islands, and now it’s planning to reach our Far East. Next time, I don’t know if those bitches will directly target St. Petersburg. It’s really against us.” Yue said, Ni Gu La II became even more angry.

Not to mention, Spain is like Russia’s nemesis. Needless to say, the situation in the Balkans is not to mention that Spain’s allies, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire are there, blocking Russia’s southward expansion route like roadblocks. , which made Nicholas II unwilling, and Northern Europe was difficult to move forward because of the existence of Britain and Spain, which made him very angry. Now, it is good that he has not expanded externally, but under the leadership of Spain, he has It had expanded to his own body, which would have made Nicholas II angry to death.

However, Pobedonoschaev ignored Nicholas II's curse and said with shocking words: "I think this is our best chance to truly improve our relations with Spain."
