"Sir Wu, it seems that the Spaniards really can't hold on! Before working hours came this morning, that guy Claudio ran to the Foreign Affairs Department! The Spaniards didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to end the war.
Claudio said that they also realized that this was the German trap and did not want to get caught in it anymore!" Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi said with a smile. It was only one day after the war started, and the Spanish asked for peace. Although this battle was a bit
It is a slash of people, but hasn't it also shown that China's strength is also shown?
"Hmph! I guess the Spanish had long seen that they were the German trap, but at the beginning, they were thinking about whether they could take advantage of it. If we were unwilling to go to war with Spain, then they would be able to succeed
The recovery of Gibraltar! As a result, they did not expect our reaction to be so fierce. They conquered Gibraltar in just one day of war and destroyed the Spanish Navy. The 2nd Army also landed in the coastal areas of southwestern Spain! This time, those
The Spanish panicked and knew they were no longer our opponent, so they quickly sought peace!" Cabinet Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said disdainfully. The Spanish's behavior of begging for mercy immediately made him very disliked!
"Then should we agree to the Spanish's request and negotiate with them?" Tang Shaoyi asked. It would be easy for China to destroy a small country like Spain. However, it seems a bit unprofitable to waste limited troops to Spain.
Ah! Whether it is the next attack on Italy or the final landing battle against Britain, if successful, the results will obviously be much better than defeating Spain.
"It depends on what the Emperor is about! However, I think His Majesty the Emperor is probably unwilling to fight the Spanish again. Anyway, we have won this battle, and the Army and Navy have more important tasks!
, with the help of this war, I cut a piece of meat on the Spaniards, that's for sure!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile. The Spaniards lost a handful of rice this time!
"Yes!" Tang Shaoyi nodded, and he also agreed with Wu Tingfang's point of view!
"Let's go! Let's go to meet His Majesty the Emperor and tell His Majesty the Spanish's request! As for whether to fight or reconcile, it's up to His Majesty to decide!" Prime Minister Wu Tingfang said! Although the imperial emperor Yuze has gradually decentralized his power.
He has a high prestige in the country. In national affairs, whether it is the cabinet or the military, he still has to ask him for instructions!
When Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi arrived at 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 the notice from the cabinet. After all, this time the Spanish were the ones who were in the Spanish.
If you want to ask for and, you must also seek the military's opinions!
"Your Majesty, sirs, this is the situation! The Spanish can't hold on. Spanish Ambassador to China Claudio has already been preparing to beg for mercy to us on behalf of King Alfonso XIII of Spain and the Spanish government!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.
"Everyone, what about 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 very smooth, almost like entering a deserted place! Even though the Spanish Army is mobilizing and the troops are gathering, it is difficult for us to completely defeat Spain.
Not big!" said the Secretary of the Army Zhao Bowen. With the strength of the 2nd Army Army, at most, a few infantry divisions and several mercenaries were drawn. It would be enough to sweep the entire Spain!
"So, will the battle in Spain affect the subsequent combat plan?" Wang Yuze asked. He meant that he had planned to land on Italy and Britain after conquering Gibraltar. Compared with these two plans, defeat the two plans
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 army groups to complete! And, with the strength of these two army groups, as long as the action is fast enough
, enough to capture Rome and defeat Italy! Of course, if the war is not going well, such as the Italian king and government officials who escape early, it will be more troublesome for us!" said Marshal Zhao Bowen. The most landing battle in Italy
The key point is to capture the Italian king and government officials. Otherwise, once they escape, the Chinese team may face the attack of nearly two million Italian troops! And China's allies must be very happy
Seeing all this, of course, even if the Chinese Army is not afraid to face the Italian army, if it spends too much time in Italy, it will not be in line with the combat plan formulated by the Chinese team before!
Wang Yuze nodded. It seemed that the military meant that he planned to let Spain go, but Wang Yuze just didn't pay attention to Spain. But the military generals obviously didn't want to let this credit go.
"Where is 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 slap the Spaniards hard. After all, this war was originally initiated by them. If you want to end the war, then
It's a price to pay! If the Spaniards don't want it, there's no way, and they have to continue the war! We can only get what we can't get on the battlefield! I believe,
The Spaniards will definitely not continue to persevere this time! After all, they have no confidence to resist our attack!" Wu Tingfang said with a smile. If they can obtain the benefits they want through negotiations, there is naturally no need to use war means.
!
"Your Majesty, I also think this way!" said Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.
"Okay, that's it! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Spanish negotiated, if they accept our request, then there would be a truce. If they don't accept it, then the war will continue. In addition, the military's plan for the next step cannot be stopped!
"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 will be ceded to us! And it will be ceded to us permanently! Second, let the Spanish be responsible for our military expenditure this time, don't be too much, give me 50 million Chinese yuan, it's almost done! In addition,
The small islands in Spain on the Mediterranean are useless anyway, so let's give them to us!" Wang Yuze said. Due to the small combat radius of the aircraft, the Chinese Navy Aviation Corps can only be cut off when deployed on Sicily.
The East-West Mediterranean connection is just a threat to other regions, especially Western Europe, you have to choose a new base. The Balearic Islands have a very good geographical location, not only can they guard the Strait of Gibraltar, but also can
The eastern coast of Spain poses a threat and can block France's entry into the Mediterranean. As the aircraft's performance becomes 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 had long been used to Wang Yuze's lion's mouth! Every war, as long as China wins the war, it will basically make the other party suffer a lot.
The 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 on his face. In this two hours, the King of Spain and the Government of Spain
He had sent him a telegram of urging again.
However, after Tang Shaoyi told Claudio the Chinese government's request, he was stunned. Ambassador Claudio was very frustrated. No matter from any aspect, the Kingdom of Spain was a victim this time.
Now, they not only have to bear the damage from the war, but also have to cede land and pay compensation from China. China treats them completely as a defeated country!
"Mr. Tang, is China's requirements too harsh? Spain will not accept such harsh conditions! This is completely treating Spain as a defeated country, and we have not yet been defeated!" Ambassador Claudio suppressed his heart.
said with gritted teeth.
"Mr. Ambassador, although he has not been defeated yet, it seems that he is not far from this? If our army attacks with all its might, can Spain hold on? Ambassador, I finally tell you that these requests are all His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire himself
There is no room for any change when proposed! Moreover, within 24 hours, the Kingdom of Spain has to make a reply, either agree or continue to fight! And, if the Kingdom of Spain does not agree, there will be no chance in the future!
"Tang Shaoyi said coldly!
"The Chinese are so domineering, they are simply robbers!" Ambassador Claudio cursed in his heart, but seeing Tang Shaoyi's cold expression made him very worried. If the Spanish Kingdom does not accept China this time
Conditions, perhaps the Spanish Kingdom will be destroyed! Although the war has only begun for one day, the combat power of the Chinese team has greatly shocked the Spanish top leaders. There is no doubt that if the battle continues, Spain will
There is no chance of winning!
"Mr. Tang, I need to contact the country!" Ambassador Claudio said, and then left the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a daze!
