    "Master Wu, it seems that the Spaniards really can't hold on any longer! Before it was time to go to work this morning, that guy Claudio came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! The Spaniards don't want to fight and want to end the war. According to reports  Claudio said that they also saw that this was a trap by the Germans and did not want to fall into it again!" Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said with a smile.  Only one day after the war started, the Spaniards sued for peace. Although this battle was a bit anticlimactic, didn't it also show the strength of China?

    "Hmph! I guess the Spaniards have long seen that it was a German trap, but at the beginning, they were still thinking about taking advantage. If we have no intention of going to war with Spain, then they can succeed  to recapture Gibraltar! As a result, they did not expect that our response would be so fierce. They captured Gibraltar in just one day after the war started, and also destroyed the Spanish navy. The 2nd Army also landed on the coast of southwestern Spain! At this time, those  The Spaniards panicked and knew they were no longer our opponent, so they quickly sued for peace!" Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said disdainfully.  He couldn't stand the Spaniard's behavior of immediately begging for mercy when he saw that the situation was not good!

    "Then should we agree to the Spaniards' request and negotiate peace with them?" Tang Shaoyi asked.  For a small country like Spain, it would be easy for China to destroy it.  However, it seems a bit uneconomical to waste limited troops on Spain!  Whether it is the next attack on Italy or the final landing operation on Britain, if successful.  The results achieved are obviously much better than defeating Spain.

    "It depends on what His Majesty the Emperor wants! However, I think His Majesty the Emperor is probably not willing to fight the Spanish anymore. Anyway, we have won this battle, and the army and navy have more important tasks! It's just that we have won this battle.  , with the help of this war, we will cut off a piece of flesh from the Spaniards, that's for sure!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.  This time the Spaniards can be said to have stolen the chicken but lost a handful of rice!

    "Yeah!" Tang Shaoyi nodded, and he quite agreed with Wu Tingfang's point of view!

    "Let's go! Let's go see His Majesty the Emperor and tell Him the Spaniard's request! As for war or peace, that has to be decided by Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said!  Although the imperial emperor Wang Yuze has gradually decentralized power.  But he has a high prestige in the country. On national affairs, whether it is the cabinet or the military, you still have to ask him for instructions!

    When Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi rushed to the palace, Army Minister Zhao Bowen, Navy Minister Zhang Cheng and Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo also arrived at the palace. They all went to the palace after receiving notice from the cabinet.  After all, this time the Spanish wanted peace.  The military¡¯s opinion must also be sought!

    "Your Majesty, gentlemen, this is the situation! The Spaniards can't hold on anymore, and Spanish Ambassador to China Claudio is ready to beg for mercy from us on behalf of King Alfonso XIII of Spain and the Spanish government!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.

    "Everyone, what are your opinions?" Wang Yuze did not express his opinion immediately, but looked at the military giants!

    "Your Majesty. Now the 2nd Army has landed, and the attack is going very smoothly, almost like entering no man's land! Even though the Spanish Army is mobilizing and the troops are gathering, it is difficult for us to completely defeat Spain.  Not big!" said Army Secretary Zhao Bowen.  With the strength of the Army's 2nd Army, at most a few more infantry divisions and several mercenary divisions could be mobilized.  It¡¯s enough to sweep across Spain!

    "So, will the battle in Spain affect the subsequent battle plan?" Wang Yuze asked.  What he meant was the planned landings in Italy and Britain after the capture of Gibraltar.  Compared with these two plans, defeating Spain seems less important!

    "Your Majesty, the 7th Army and the 8th Army are about to arrive at the Strait of Gibraltar. The battle against Italy can be completely left to these two armies! Moreover, given the strength of these two armies, as long as they move quickly enough  , enough to capture Rome and defeat Italy! Of course, if the war does not go well, for example, if the Italian king and government officials escape early, it will be more troublesome for us!" Marshal Zhao Bowen said.  The most critical point in the landing operation in Italy is to capture the Italian king and government officials. Otherwise, once they escape, the Chinese Army may face an attack by nearly two million Italian troops!  And China's allies must be very happy to see all this.  Of course, even if the Chinese Army is not afraid of facing the Italian army, if it spends too much time in Italy, it will not be in line with the battle plan previously formulated by the Chinese Army!

    Wang Yuze nodded, it seems that the militaryThe idea is to let Spain go, but Wang Yuze doesn't pay much attention to Spain.  But the military generals obviously don't want to let go of this credit.

    "What's the government's opinion?" Wang Yuze looked at the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Tang Shaoyi!

    "Your Majesty, the government believes that we can negotiate with the Spaniards. Of course, we will use this to kill the Spaniards severely. After all, they were the ones who started this war. If you want to end the war, then  You have to pay the price! If the Spaniards are not willing, then there will be no choice but to continue the war! If we cannot get it at the negotiation table, we will have to get it on the battlefield! I believe,  The Spaniards will definitely not persist this time! After all, they have no confidence in resisting our attack!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile.  If the desired benefits can be obtained through negotiation, then there is no need to resort to war!

    "Your Majesty, I have the same view!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.

    "Okay, let's do it! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiates with the Spanish. If they accept our request, then there will be a ceasefire. If they don't accept, then the war will continue. In addition, the military cannot stop the next plan!  "Wang Yuze said!

    "Yes, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Wang Yuze had made a decision, the others stopped arguing!

    "Your Majesty, what are our requirements for the Spanish negotiations this time?" Tang Shaoyi asked.

    "First, Gibraltar must be ceded to us! And it must be ceded to us permanently! Second, let the Spaniards be responsible for the military expenditure of our military operation. Don't be too much, just give me 50 million Chinese dollars and that's enough! In addition,  Those small Spanish islands in the Mediterranean are of no use to them anyway, so just cede them to us!" Wang Yuze said.  Due to the small combat radius of current aircraft, the deployment of Chinese naval aviation on Sicily can only cut off the connection between the east and west Mediterranean.  If it wants to pose a threat to other regions, especially Western Europe, it will have to choose a new base.  The Balearic Islands have a very good geographical location. They can not only guard the Strait of Gibraltar, but also pose a threat to the eastern coast of Spain and block France from entering the Mediterranean.  As the performance of the aircraft gets better and better, it can even pose a threat to southern France.  This is very effective for China¡¯s future strategic deployment!

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!" Tang Shaoyi nodded.  He has long been used to Wang Yuze's lion's mouth!  In every war, as long as China wins the war, the other party will basically pay a heavy price!

    After receiving Wang Yuze¡¯s instructions, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi summoned Spanish Ambassador to China Claudio after returning to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!  Claudio rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with an anxious look. In the past two hours, the King of Spain and the government had once again sent him an urging telegram.

    However, after Tang Shaoyi told Claudio the Chinese government¡¯s requirements, he was stunned.  Ambassador Claudio was very aggrieved. No matter from which aspect, the Kingdom of Spain was the victim this time.  But now, they not only have to bear the damage of the war, but also have to cede territory to China and pay compensation. China completely treats them as a defeated country!

    "Master Tang, are China's requirements too harsh? Spain will not accept such harsh conditions! This is completely treating Spain as a defeated country. We are not defeated yet!" Ambassador Claudio suppressed his heart  With anger, he said through gritted teeth.

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, although we have not yet been defeated, it seems that it is not far away? If our army attacks with all its strength, can Spain be able to hold on? Your Excellency, Ambassador, let me tell you in the end, these requests are made by His Majesty the Emperor himself.  There is no room for change! Moreover, the Kingdom of Spain must respond within 24 hours, either agreeing or continuing to fight! And if the Kingdom of Spain does not agree, there will be no chance again in the future!  "Tang Shaoyi said coldly!

    "The Chinese are too overbearing, they are simply robbers!" Ambassador Claudio cursed in his heart, but seeing Tang Shaoyi's stern expression made him very worried.  If the Kingdom of Spain does not accept China's conditions this time, perhaps the Kingdom of Spain will really be destroyed!  Although the war had only begun for one day, the fighting power of the Chinese ** team greatly shocked the Spanish top brass. There is no doubt that if the battle continues, Spain will have no chance of winning!

    "Master Tang, I have to contact the country!" Ambassador Claudio said, and then left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in despair!
