Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Nicholas II was so angry that he seemed to be relieved on the surface, but in his heart, the fire was spreading, and it even seemed to be getting worse.

He narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said harshly: "Since the Austro-Hungarian Empire has begun to prepare for a large-scale war, we cannot relax ourselves. Therefore, I have decided that our army will In the next two months, based on the current 1.6 million troops, 400,000 troops will be recruited here, and all of them will be placed in Europe. I don’t believe that 400,000 more soldiers will be recruited. In our situation of 1.2 million soldiers Now, even if the Austro-Hungarian Empire has increased from 440,000 to 600,000 or even 700,000, can they really dare to welcome us?"

"Your Majesty, in this case, we are likely to fall into a state of suspended recruitment, because this will attract other opponents to follow suit, and in the end, it will turn around like a wave in the sea. Come back, we will have to recruit troops again. Going militarily is a taboo in governing a country. You can't govern the country like this."

Stolypin was really frightened by Nicholas II's arrival. When he said it, he already understood what he was doing, but he couldn't care about anything. Even if he saw Plevi's anxious and panicked face, and his anxious winks, he could only Never mind. Because, if His Majesty really comes like this, then the final result will definitely be something he doesn't want to see.

"All kinds of chaos have occurred in Poland, Ukraine, Finland and other places, Your Majesty. What we should do most now is to recuperate and recuperate, rather than large-scale conscription. This will make other countries, not only the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also the United Kingdom, etc., As a result, they are more suspicious of us, which will lead to a chain reaction. Your Majesty, we cannot recruit troops again. The domestic economy has been overloaded in the operation of the country's big machine due to wars in recent years. This If there is conscription at that time, it will greatly reduce our labor force, and make the people who are working become a burden to take care of their money and food. All these burdens will fall on other people. This will crush us. This is Four hundred thousand people"[

"Okay" Nicholas II unceremoniously smashed the teacup in his hand onto Stolypin's head. The head immediately started to bleed. Nicholas II looked at the bleeding Stolypin, and he regretted using so much strength, but. It was difficult for him to apologize, but despite this, his anger was relieved a lot.

However, the atmosphere also relaxed due to this.

Pobedonoschaif twitched his old eyes and immediately understood what Nicholas II was thinking now. He said: "Your Majesty, let's do this. Although what the Prime Minister just said was a bit impulsive, what he said was not It makes no sense. After all, our country has the largest military strength in the surrounding area. Compared with the German Empire and Spain combined, you must know that they are already the second largest military power and the fourth largest military power.

This has made the surrounding countries more wary of us. Now if we add 400,000 troops, the full 2 ​​million troops are placed there. Even if they have no weapons in their hands, just standing there will also be a threat to other countries. We pose a threat, and after being equipped with weapons, other countries will be even more defensive about us day and night. Although this can make them dare not act rashly, it will definitely make us a thorn in their side. existence, the end result of which is that we have always existed in the spotlight. "

"Isn't this great? After all, this will make people more afraid to do things to us similar to what they did in the Far East."

When mentioning the Far East, Nicholas II's face became even more sinister. The Far East has become what he considers to be a lifelong shame. He can't imagine that he is facing an invasion like the Qing Dynasty, which he regarded as a back garden. It is also suitable for Tsarist Russia under his rule. Empire, the Qing Dynasty was killed by the eight-nation coalition of Britain, France, Germany, the Russian Empire, the United States, Japan, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Italy, and their royal family fled the capital in ruins. Those who received this message at that time He literally laughed for days and nights.

However, God always seems to like to joke, and now I don’t know if it’s because of the retribution. Under his leadership, the Russian Empire, a superpower in Russia, Asia and Europe, will also have this scene, and it is also a four-nation alliance. This Far East has been in business for hundreds of years. The historical territory was actually snatched away by people like this. He couldn't swallow this breath.

He must get it back, and he was even thinking about how he could make those powerful bandits pay a heavy price, so that he could eliminate the evil spirit in his heart. Wait, Far East! Then, his eyes lit up, and then, his eyes flashed with light.

"Yeah, what if they come to confront us?" Werther asked, and several others also understood that since Nicholas II said so, she would never change her mind easily. In this case, they are still Just dissuade him, and Werther was the person closest to Nicholas II. Many of Nicholas II's ideas were sometimes implemented by him because of his status. At this moment, he acted like this "After all, the Austro-Hungarian Empire has obviously begun to prepare for war. If we don't take more precautions, then the final result will be a situation where we can only be passively beaten."

When Werther said this, few people really objected. If you say it's impossible, then fine. If the Austro-Hungarian Empire really comes and the unprepared Russia is crippled, who will be responsible? Naturally, he was the one who objected at this time. Thinking of this, several other people couldn't help but look at Stolypin. They were wondering whether Stolypin would carry His Majesty again because of this. .

"Since His Majesty has decided to fight back against the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Europe, then, as a minister, I will naturally assist Your Majesty." Stolypin's calmness was unexpected, and so was Nicholas II, but more importantly What surprised him was what Stolypin said next, because he didn't expect that Stolypin would give him a strategy, a strategy he had just thought of to solve the current problem, which was so similar to the one he just thought of to solve the current problem.
