Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Improve relations with bitch Spain, this is what Nicholas II thinks of now.

Stolypin, Witte, Previ and others all laughed secretly in their hearts. Nicholas II had just called Spain a bitch, but now it's good that Pobedonoschiev proposed to talk to this His Majesty. The bitch is trying to improve the relationship, which makes people feel that after the dispute over the prostitution issue, now the client must improve the relationship with the bitch in order to have sex. This makes them really dumbfounded.

The one who is even more dumbfounded is probably Donoschaif. It was only after he said it that he realized the contradiction between the front and back, and felt a little helpless in his heart.

Nicholas II suppressed the urge in his heart to curse. He looked at his godfather and his most beloved and trusted minister with some dissatisfaction. He frowned and said, "Tell me about it." I wanted to say something that was not well said. You know the consequences, but after thinking about it, he gave up on such an argument.

When Pobedonoschaev saw the look in Nicholas II's eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He knew that he had offended him and that he was almost on the verge of breaking out. At that time, it is very likely to attract a storm of criticism from His Majesty. So he was very cautious.

Pobedonoschaif paused and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that fundamentally speaking, there is no real conflict between us and Spain. However, because of our conflicts in several places over the years, The rapid expansion has caused Spain, like the United Kingdom, to have major doubts about us. Spain is not the United Kingdom, and Spain is also expanding now. And the United Kingdom has long been the suzerain country with the largest colony in the world, but as long as the United Kingdom is still If you look around for colonies, you will know that Spain, which is equivalent to an emerging power, will of course have the same thoughts in its heart. And exactly, under such circumstances, we are still expanding our territory, which has almost divided up all the colonies in the world. situation, for them. It’s very dissatisfying.”

Nicholas II said angrily at this time: "Don't they think they should specifically oppose us if they are dissatisfied?"

"Yes, Spain is here specifically to fight against us." Unexpectedly, Pobydonoschaif answered in the affirmative. Seeing the understanding expressions of others and Stolypin's thoughtful look, Donoschaif slowly said: "Alfonso XIII is very smart and has many strategies. He knows that if Spain is like If the German Empire directly touches the interests of the established powers, it is very likely to become like the German Empire and cause the siege of Britain, France and Russia, so Spain found another way to fulfill its idea."

Stolypin asked at this time: "Dream of territorial expansion?"

"The Prime Minister is right. In fact, I have always suspected that Spain was involved in the Svalbard Islands issue. Spain did it deliberately. Knowing that it is the most important ocean channel for us to enter and exit the European Atlantic, Spain was involved in the Svalbard Islands issue. Knowing clearly that taking over from Norway would offend us, but still continuing to do so, this is obviously not a simple problem. After all, those ice and snow archipelagos are really only for fishing and docking patrol ships. It doesn't have much value, but in comparison. At that time, Spain's domestic trade and economic benefits in our country were calculated in billions of pesetas per year. In comparison, Spain should have made a choice. However, Spain did make With a result that surprised us, they chose that uninhabited island group. After that, the normal relationship between us became tense, and a series of things happened after that, until we hit the nail and finally allowed Spain to be in us. The domestic legal economy and the need to compensate Franz Josef Land have come to an end, but this is still difficult to promote the relaxation of our tense relations, but Spain has gained a lot of benefits from it."

Stolypin's eyes lit up, he glanced at Pobedonoschaev, and said: "What the manager wants to say is that Spain is doing this in order to use it as an enemy of us. The wooing of countries with close relations was purposeful. Just like the Ottoman Empire, it originally only had a friendly strategic relationship with Spain. But because of the way Spain behaved, Spain finally gained the trust of the Ottoman Empire. That's it. We have powerful allies like the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which has tense relations with us and is competing for supremacy in the Balkans, has become an ally of Spain, and even Bulgaria. As well as Norway and Sweden in Northern Europe, these countries have turned to Spain. Extending an olive branch is Spain's most important goal." The more he said it, the more chilled Stolypin felt. If this was the real ultimate goal of Spain, then such a generous move would have to make people feel heartbroken. Shocked.

Not only Stolypin, but also Nicholas II, Werther, and Previ all felt chills rising, and they were all thinking, if this is true, then the Spanish one is really awesome.

Pobedonoschaev saw the changing expressions on everyone's faces, and he also knew that if their moods were not changed as soon as possible, these most important figures in Russia would have to fight first when facing Spain. Lost points. This is something I absolutely don’t want to see.

"This is just my guess, so don't take it seriously. Now, let's discuss how we should face the situation in the Far East now. Your Majesty, I think that even if there are half a million soldiers in the Far East, It is difficult to truly gain any advantage, so under such circumstances, we must make the worst plan. The worst plan is that the coastal areas will be invaded by the four countries, which is our worst plan."

"Why do you say that?" Plevi asked with some confusion. In his opinion, even an invasion of Siberia is not impossible.

Seeing that Nicholas II also had the same questioning expression, Pobedonoschaif said: "It's very simple. Let's not forget that in fact, these four countries are not monolithic. Let alone the speculation between Britain and Germany that has always existed. , even Japan is definitely doubtful in the hearts of other countries. After all, if we really want to compare among the four countries, Japan is definitely the fastest to solve the territory they want to occupy. After all, there is Their base camp is said to be as stable as gold, and other countries have to worry about Japan's future threats. Therefore, they will not rest assured that the large area of ​​territory they have conquered will be exposed to Japan's threats.

Also, don’t forget, our neighbor to the south is the Qing Dynasty. If we go too deep into Siberia at this time, Japan will outflank Siberia from the south, plus the [Korean Peninsula] in the northeast, plus Taiwan on the coast. In other places, the Qing Dynasty will have more military advantages over Japan. If other countries in the Far East are compared with Japan individually, then even if they are comparable, they will still have regional relationship disadvantages. Therefore, the three countries of Britain, Germany and the West They are not stupid either, so they should limit Japan's excessive penetration, or even if they don't stop it, they will just let Japan go deep into the country and have nothing to do with them. When the time comes, Japan will still have to retreat in front of my millions of troops. This is also the reason why Japan will land in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk this time instead of the Sea of ​​Japan.”

At this time, Pobedonoschaif said extremely bleakly: "But even so, we can't let them succeed easily. The war still needs to continue to be resisted. What we just did was the worst plan, so We still need to strive for the best result, that is, we can at least retain an outlet to the sea in the Far East, so that we can live up to our reputation as a powerful country in Asia and Europe. Therefore, Your Majesty, I think we should do it even though we know that it is difficult to achieve our goals. If you live in the Primorsky Territory, you might as well evacuate the Primorsky Krai first, let the German Empire leave its military forces there, and then concentrate on opening up a channel to the Pacific between Japan and the United Kingdom, which does not dare to go too far towards us. I believe that with our familiarity there and the hundreds of thousands of troops we have there, they don’t dare to really confront us head-on.

Don't forget, this is their division of labor and cooperation. We can concentrate on fighting Japan hard, and with the UK, we can order the ambassador to the UK and the British ambassador to our country to protest, and at the same time express our and expressed that our biggest enemy is Japan, not Britain. With Britain's mentality of playing tricks, they are afraid that Japan will dominate the Far East, and they will definitely not mind us joining in to mess up the situation in the Far East and Pacific region. , and we can also extend an olive branch to Spain and express our willingness to recognize Spanish rule there. We only hope that Spain will also put pressure on Japan and get Japan to agree to retain our seaport. I think Spain is smart and will know this. What benefits can we bring to them? "

Nicholas II was persuaded, and such a bitter consequences must be said to be very uncomfortable. However, as a generation of heroes, although he is the kind of indecisive, he still has his own calculations in his heart.

"So when do you think you're going to start contacting them?"

"Let's wait until the situation becomes more cheerful, otherwise, it will be too easy for them to get it and they will not cherish the good opportunity we gave them." When he said this, Donoschaif said with a strong and confident voice. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we are in bad luck this time, and we will have to return them sooner or later."

First update, there is one more update. Some time ago, I was always worried about reading book reviews, and in the end I didn’t even know where to focus. I cut all the main lines in the original outline, making the later chapters of the book a bit empty. , this is a very sad thing, so next I will write with my own ideas, so that I can truly integrate myself into the book without being disturbed. Please forgive me if you are not satisfied. Yesterday’s subscription was good. I hope everyone will continue. Support, and thanks to Huanyue Wuchen for the reward. I still have 1,100 points, which is enough for the second helmsman of this book. I hope you will continue to support me. (To be continued.
