Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At 8 pm on May 16, Madrid time, Spanish Prime Minister Torres once again arrived at the palace and met with the German Ambassador to Spain Paul.  Joseph's meeting was very unpleasant.  He felt Paul.  Ambassador Joseph's perfunctory behavior also revealed the Germans' intentions.  Obviously, this time Spain is involved in the war with China, everything is a conspiracy of the Germans. They just want to use Spain to hold China back, and this is nothing short of a disaster for Spain.  !

    When Prime Minister Torres came to the palace, Admiral de Rivera arrived earlier.  Now, the Spanish military has figured out the Chinese troops that landed in Spain.  However, even if it is clear, it still makes the Spanish military very difficult.

    "Your Majesty the King, the Chinese army that landed is their 2nd Army. This army has performed very well on the North American battlefield and is very powerful. This army has nearly 200,000 troops, including an armored brigade, and has extremely strong  Attack power! Now the army has begun to dispatch troops to the south of Spain! However, even if we can arrive in time, we may not be able to stop the Chinese attack!" General de Rivera said with some frustration!  Apart from anything else, it would be difficult for the Spanish Army to defend against the assault by the armored units of the Chinese Army's 2nd Army alone.  Spain has no armored forces, nor anti-armored weapons and troops. In front of the Chinese Army's armored forces, their defense line is completely like paper.  General de Rivera seems to have seen the Spanish Army's defense line being continuously breached by the Chinese Army!

    "Damn it! How could it become like this?" King Alfonso XIII of Spain murmured.  Originally, he thought that Spain could use war to deter China and thus smoothly regain Gibraltar.  However, I didn't expect that it would be self-defeating in the end. The Chinese really went to war with Spain!  As soon as the war started, Spain immediately had no hope of victory!

    At this time, Prime Minister Torres met with King Alfonso XIII and reported to him the results of the destruction of the German Ambassador to Spain.

    "Your Majesty the King, Ambassador Paul Joseph promised to report our demands to the German government! However, from his words and expressions, I clearly feel that he is perfunctory with us. The Germans do not want to mediate for us at all, they only want us and China  People continue to fight. This is the most beneficial for them. However, it is a disaster for us in Spain!" Prime Minister Torres said with some despair.  He regretted a little, why did they fall for the bait when the Germans offered Gibraltar?  If greed had not arisen at that time, perhaps we would not be in this difficult situation now!

    "Damn Germans, we were all tricked by them!" King Alfonso XIII of Spain said through gritted teeth.  Although he has some ambitions and talents, he is definitely not a fool.  Now he had no hope for the Germans.

    "General de Rivera, if the army cannot defeat the Chinese, then let's negotiate with the Chinese to end this war!" Alfonso XIII said.  Obviously, he also knew that if the war continued, the damage to Spain would be greater.  Except for the colony of the Philippines, there is not much hatred between Spain and China. There is no need to provoke the Chinese for the sake of the Germans.

    General de Rivera hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully: "Your Majesty the King, the current Spanish Army does not have the strength to defeat the Chinese! If we can give it a few more years, we may have a chance!" The former Kingdom of Spain,  How can such an army be compared with the Chinese army that has experienced hundreds of battles? The military affairs are depleted, the soldiers are backward in equipment and neglected in training.

    "Okay, Prime Minister Torres, let the ambassador to China negotiate peace with the Chinese! End this damn war!" Alfonso XIII said.  Although it was a shame for him to beg for mercy from the Chinese when the war had just begun, Alfonso XIII knew that the best way for Spain now was to surrender to the Chinese. Apart from that, there was no better way.  Method.  Of course, if Spain's military strength is restored in the future, there will be a chance to avoid today's shame!

    "Yes, His Majesty the King!" Prime Minister Torres said.

    China and Spain went to war, and the Chinese Army landed in southern Spain, which attracted the attention of European countries.

    Both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers are very concerned about the war between China and Spain.  After China ends the North American battlefield, its huge military strength can be used in other battlefields. This is undoubtedly a disaster for the Allied Powers, but at the same time, it is not what the Allied countries want to see.  China's global expansion has also irritated their nerves and harmed their interests.  In particular, China was able to dispatch its army directly from North America to Europe, which shocked them greatly.  If these Chinese troops are not used in Spain, where will they be used?  This makes all countries very worriedtension, especially in the United Kingdom and Italy.  After all, the coastlines of both countries are very long, which is just suitable for the Chinese army to launch a landing operation!

    However, they did not expect that the war had just begun and Spain would retreat. This was not a good thing for European countries.  After all, as long as Spain withdraws from the war, the Chinese army can choose its attack target again!

    Claudio, the Spanish ambassador to China, received an emergency telegram from Madrid in the middle of the night. After being woken up by the embassy secretary, Ambassador Claudio became furious, but after reading the contents of the telegram, he was speechless.  He was not optimistic about the war between Spain and China from the beginning, but he did not expect that Spain would not be able to hold on in just one day.

    "Damn, those Chinese will definitely blackmail Spain severely this time!" Ambassador Claudio thought secretly.  He has been in China for many years and has a very good understanding of China's foreign policy.  When faced with a situation like what is happening in Spain now, the Chinese will definitely raise their butcher's knives high and cut off a piece of Spain's flesh.

    After being woken up, Ambassador Claudio could no longer sleep and sat alone until dawn.  At eight o'clock in the morning, after washing up, Ambassador Claudio took the embassy car to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs with two big dark circles under his eyes.  This time, he did not ask the German ambassador to China to go to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs with him.  The telegrams sent from China had already made him understand that the war between China and Spain was a misunderstanding and was entirely a German conspiracy. If the German ambassador to China was involved again, it might not only be impossible to resolve the dispute with China.  On the contrary, it will intensify the contradictions, which is very detrimental to Spain, which wants to end the war!

    At 9 o'clock in the morning, when Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi just went to work, he was told that Spanish Ambassador to China Claudio was already waiting for him in the reception room!  This made Tang Shaoyi a little confused. Didn't war just be declared yesterday?  What is Claudio doing today?

    With a lot of questions, Tang Shaoyi met with Ambassador Claudio.

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, I wonder why you are here today?" Tang Shaoyi asked straight to the point.

    "Master Tang, our government believes that the ongoing war between our two countries is a complete misunderstanding and a wrong war. All this is a conspiracy by the Germans. They deliberately revealed the news that China is about to attack Gibraltar.  He gave it to us and then expressed his support for us to regain Gibraltar, which caused the conflict between our two countries!" Ambassador Claudio said.

    Tang Shaoyi was speechless. It was no secret that the Germans were behind this war.  But, what does Claudio want to do when he says this?  Doesn¡¯t Spain want to continue the fight?  I still know that I will definitely lose, so I want to beg for mercy.

    "So, what does the Ambassador mean?" Tang Shaoyi asked.

    "Master Tang, the Kingdom of Spain has no intention of going to war with China. We want to end the war that has become very detrimental to both countries!" Ambassador Claudio said sincerely!

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, is it too late to end the war? Yesterday, the Imperial Navy has eliminated the main force of the Spanish Navy, and the Imperial Army has also landed in southwest Spain. The troops are now preparing to advance towards Madrid. The Spanish Army  It seems that there is no ability to stop our progress!" Tang Shaoyi said!

    Hearing what Tang Shaoyi said, Ambassador Claudio immediately began to sweat on his forehead.  He was already very clear about the news coming from the country. The Spanish Army was no match for the Chinese Army. If the war continued, Spain would be in danger of being destroyed.  His mission is to prevent this from happening!

    "Master Tang, the Kingdom of Spain is very sincere in ending the war. We hope to maintain friendship with China!" Ambassador Claudio said.

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to report it to His Majesty the Emperor! However, don't have too much confidence. His Majesty the Emperor is very angry at Spain's provocation this time!" Tang Shaoyi said!

    "I leave everything to Mr. Tang. The Kingdom of Spain will never forget Mr. Tang!" Ambassador Claudio said quickly.

    His heart was full of bitterness. Perhaps this was the sorrow of a small country. What was wrong with regaining the territory that originally belonged to oneself?  Instead, he ended up like this.  Under the oppression of big powers, small countries like Spain had to succumb.  He knew that even if China was willing to end the war with China, the Kingdom of Spain would pay a heavy price for it.  However, this is still much better than being destroyed!
