Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Theodore was also very troubled now, watching Spain move forward step by step. Although he and his former think tanks had good intentions, they seemed a little weak in front of Taft. Originally, he was a Republican. Due to his identity, he acted in an unbiased manner. Because he had great power at the time, he felt that this would gain more support from voters. Therefore, after his eight-year term expired, he felt good about himself and thought that he had done a good job. But now, because of the antitrust and antitrust laws he passed at that time, the big capitalists were seriously injured, especially Rockefeller's oil and Morgan's banks. Because of his policies, they had to fly away their delicious cakes. Give some to others, because he is somewhat isolated in the Republican Party, where the big capitalists are concentrated, and the Democrats think that he is not professional enough and does not consider the interest groups that support him. Who would like such a person. Therefore, Theodore Roosevelt's originally firm belief had now loosened a little.

However, his will was not easy to split open, so he quickly sewed it up automatically.

"It seems that the end between Japan and Russia is coming soon." Looking to the west, he seemed to see through the Pacific coast from the United States in the east to the west, and then across the Pacific to the Russian-Japanese battlefield.

"It's just that it remains to be seen how this time will end. Damn Alfonso XIII, how can you always exceed my expectations?" Speaking of Alfonso XIII When he did, he had a look of disgust on his face.

July 1911. After several months of baptism of war and the arrival of the armistice, the arrival of June has warmed up the mood of everyone on and off the battlefield. The generals also became a little bit cold because of the cold character brought by the ice and snow. Get excited. [

In particular, Japan's Okubo Gon and Kuroki Nori, etc., have applied several times to combine them into one to deal with Russia, and come up with a strategy of defeating them one by one, but Oyama Iwa and Yamamoto Gonbei at the headquarters are all the same. They disagreed, but Prime Minister Katsura Taro and even the Emperor also expressed their approval of the military department's approach. They were so eager to make contributions and were anxious about this.

Soon, they received the order to march, but it was not to march to attack Russia. But the garrison plan. The emergence of this plan took them by surprise. At the same time, I also understood that the things that made a fuss in the media some time ago are true.

On June 10, shortly after Spain announced the Grand Reconciliation Class to resolve territorial disputes with France, when the Spanish Foreign Minister visited Paris, the French capital, he held a press conference with French Foreign Minister Edouard Herriot. It was suddenly announced that Spain would coordinate the war between Japan and Russia. We will do our best to smooth out the fight between the two countries.

Trini's words shocked everyone. When Trini left, including Edward Herriot, calls and telegrams were flying all over the world.

Spain was seriously responsible for the invasion of Russia. Everyone knows this, but the territory claimed by Spain is also the most remote. Therefore, the number of injured and killed in the war between Spain and Russia was the lowest. It is even said that Spain has several other territories except Magadan Oblast. Not a single person was killed in the place, which was definitely very embarrassing for countries like the German Empire and Japan, because they both had more than 10,000 people, and even Japan had more than one-third died there.

The Kamchatka Autonomous Region was caught off guard by its sudden appearance, and thus became the scope of Spain's takeover. On the south bank of the Amur River, the arrival of the British had already scared the Russians there away. So what is taken over is just the land. The Chukotka Autonomous Region was acquired quickly because of the small number of people. Magadan Oblast was a little more troublesome, but after paying the price of dozens of people getting sick, it was also acquired there.

Spain's speed has already made other countries jealous. The reason why the German Empire was so fast was partly because of Spain's move. The competitive Germans finally caught up with Spain after paying the price of more than 10,000 people. After entering the Primorsky Territory, they no longer had the sense of superiority they had before, at least in front of Spain. However, when they saw that Japan was still worried there with disgrace, they chose to feel relieved.

Spain stepped forward to mediate, and the German Empire was naturally a little unhappy, but it also understood that although such a stalemate would consume Russia's troops and resources, it would not be the answer, so mediating between the two countries served as a gap to stabilize the three countries. Territory, this is a very good deal. But asking them to mediate would naturally be impossible. So in this regard, the Prime Minister of the German Empire Theo Baden just stood up and said that the world welcomes any move towards peace, and that was it.

The UK is different. The UK has also stood up and stated that regarding the conflicts between the two countries, the UK will stand together with Spain and act together, saying that the UK is also willing to serve as a mediator to allow the two countries to enter a real period of peace, rather than being like The same thing happened again and again.

People who understand politics couldn't help but roll their eyes after hearing the British government's opinions. Spain only stood up to mediate, which makes people know that Spain is taking the opportunity to get Russia to recognize Spain's fair status. As long as Russia recognizes Spain's fair status, then Spain will be tacitly acknowledged by Russia that the territory they invaded is not subject to Russia. Strongly criticized, therefore, Russia could accept Spain's role as mediator.

That's what Spain is going for, a very smart move.

However, the British are more stubborn, saying directly, you accept our mediation, I can stop you from fighting in the future, so if you choose me to join the ranks of the mediators, you will be protected from the other party's consequences for you. disaster. This seems to be an attempt to achieve the same goal as Spain, but it has an arrogant tone. I think Russia and Japan will not be in a good mood after hearing this.

Regarding the mediation between Spain and the UK, some people who know the inside story of the last meeting in France are more authenticating and confirming the relationship between Spain and the UK.

From this, they also saw that France's concerns were correct. This makes some French people secretly grateful that the government's strategists in easing relations with Spain are clear and very good.

The German Empire watched on, Japan was the country involved, Spain was the first to step forward to mediate, and Britain followed closely behind. People who didn't know thought Spain was the largest country, but those who knew didn't understand why Britain did this. So when mid-June 1911 passed, this confusion continued to be discussed among the crowd.

June 25th is a day worth remembering, at least for those who died on the battlefield, because on this day, after the statements of Britain and Spain, there was not much movement between Japan and Russia, but on this day, there was The two countries spoke up, and it was Japan and Russia.

The reason is, at 10 o'clock in the morning, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters building in Paris.

"We are a peace-loving country, and we also have a peace-loving ally, Russia, so for the sake of the peace of our allies, we are ready to formally participate in the mediator organization proposed by Spain, and France, together with the United States, has already obtained With the approval of Russia, and as far as we know, Britain and Spain also received the approval of Japan, this provisional organization was established."

"Then let me ask, where will the six countries hold this meeting this time? According to what you said just now, it seems that the three countries are against the three countries. In this way, I think there will be some reluctance to hold it on each other's territory. ?” Yes, so in the end, we chose to hold this meeting in Switzerland, which is always a neutral country. "[

"So when are you going to start the first round of negotiations?"

"The 1st of the next month"

/\u003e

"Then will you talk about the disputes between the other three countries, Germany, Britain, Spain and Russia?"

"If everyone cooperates, we should talk about it and set up a framework for this to set a more important international model."

"Spain is the first country to stand up this time. This is originally welcomed by everyone, but because Spain is also the country that obtained Russian territory, there is a certain degree of suspicion in the attack. Does that mean that this time? Will France take up the banner and resolve this territorial dispute?"

"It goes without saying whether we have a big banner or not, but we can only say that we will try our best to complete some of the great missions given by God, instead of continuing to let them mess up, destroy, and hurt this beautiful world. Come to us. It's better. Thank you all for attending this press conference in France. See you next week and this Friday."

"Great, it seems that we are still a real world power. Look, even Britain was severely trampled under our feet this time. If it weren't for us to stand up, they would have continued to fight with Russia in the Far East. The fight continues where there is no shit, so they, Spain and the damn German little Japanese should still thank us."

"This show of glory is the one that has attracted the most attention in France in many years. Well done, keep up the good work."

Just because of Edouard Herriot's words, the whole country in France became excited, and the proud Gallic chickens began to dance.
