Chapter 128 Brothers

In Paris, France, the banquet hosted by Russell officially began.

All seven European countries are present.

Representing Spain was Domingo, the Spanish ambassador to France, and the purpose of the Spaniards this time was clear.

Before that, the two sides had held secret talks, and in this matter, Spain could only choose to support France.

There are many German interests in Morocco. If Spain wants to occupy Morocco, this will inevitably arouse the opposition of the Germans.

This is a pure exchange of interests.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, in exchange for the support of France in the crisis of the German-French war in exchange for the pressure of France and Spain to fight against the Germans together.

France and the Spaniards, even if they do fight, the war on the French border will not be lost to the Germans.

Even Spain’s little-known military expansion can be seen as support for the French in the following actions.

Satisfying Spain’s own needs can also be seen as diplomatic support for the French.

It may even gain the favor of a large number of French people.

Having felt the real threat of the German army, the French now welcome any ally.

“Your Excellency Decaz, the extremely strong anti-German propaganda in France has forced the people of our country to react excessively.”

“If your country can stop propaganda against our country, we can naturally shake hands and make peace.”

The German ambassador to France, Count Harry von Arnim, said this to French Foreign Minister Decaz.

The influence of “The Last Lesson” on the French is too great.

“There has never been any anti-German propaganda in our country, but there is a real movement against France in your country.”

Bismarck personally ordered it to be carried out, and it is natural for Decaz to say this.

Bismarck has some estimates of the current state. Russia and Britain are in a commotion on the Near East issue.

It will be difficult for the two sides to unite again against Germany again.

Whether it is the lack of British or Russian support, in this possible war, Germany will not be afraid.

“I think each of you can step back and call for an end to hostile behavior.”

“Otherwise, once a war breaks out, it will cause incalculable harm to the people of both countries.”

Russell, the British ambassador, stood up and did this peacemaker, but the Russian Gorchakov was silent at this time.

The purpose of the banquet was to moderate, calling for restraint on both sides.

But the attitude of the Russians was clearly a little indifferent.

I was blocked by the British with warships at the door of my house, how could I have the mind to consider the thoughts of the French.

The British did not let go of the Ottoman issue for a day, and Gorchakov could not stand up for the French.

In the case of a clear gap between the strengths of the two sides, calling for a stop is actually favoring the weaker side.

And the silence of the Russians clearly confirmed Bismarck’s conjecture.

A new round of German-French war crisis, the Russians are likely to stand idly by.

It might even be possible to seek strong German support in the Ottomans, to support Germany on the French issue.

“The French must stop their hostile behavior towards Germany so that Germany will bind our citizens.”

The Count of Arnim said so, and did not give in at all in the face of Britain and France.

Without the support of the Russians on the Continent, the French were alone.

“I think what the French say is nothing but the truth, in fact it is impossible for France to be the first to wage war against your country.”

Before Decaz could answer, the Spanish ambassador, Domingo, stood up and spoke bluntly to Count Anim.

This is a clear attitude to stand on the side of France.

“…”

The Count of Arnim looked at this figure who had unexpectedly disrupted the situation. Bismarck’s guess did not involve the intervention of the Spaniards.

But once Spain openly supports the French, the population and army of the Spanish-French Alliance will outnumber the German troops.

Once the French stabilized the front line in the early days of the war, Spain could continuously transport weapons, equipment and troops, and it was really hard to predict who would win and who would lose.

Although the Spanish army was small in number, all kinds of advanced equipment were once delivered to the French.

The Germans had to deal with large and well-equipped troops.

Decaz glanced at Domingo gratefully. With Spain’s support, the gap between the two sides will be instantly evened out.

Even the British ambassador Russell glanced in surprise, did not expect the Spaniards to have this attitude.

Then there will be only the Russians left. In this situation, the choice of the Russians will be extremely important.

In any case, it is impossible for France and Spain to outperform Germany and Russia on land, and Russell still understands this truth.

But in the case of the unknown attitude of the Russians, the participation of the Spaniards can effectively ease the impulsive emotions of the Germans.

At the end of the banquet, the addition of the Spaniards brought the forces of the two reverses to a strange equilibrium.

……

“The Spaniards have supported us, which means we have an extra base!”

The French all know that in the diplomatic banquet that ended not long ago, it was Spain who supported the French.

The icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send carbon in the snow.

The Spaniard’s intervention this time, as expected, severely brushed the French’s favorability.

While this made the French people grateful, they also became more confident in the face of Germany.

“The combination of France and Spain, I wonder if the Prussians can resist it!”

The people are even more looking forward to the war of revenge, and the forces that were surpassed by France have achieved overtake with the participation of Spain.

certainly,

The French president knew that the support of the Spaniards was limited to preventing the Germans from taking the initiative to attack, so he did not have the brains to really launch a war of revenge against Germany again.

the next day,

“The Spanish government announced an increase of 60,000 troops to deal with possible threats.”

Le Monde published this news, which was originally just an expansion of the army that had to be done. At this moment, it unexpectedly turned into solidarity with the French.

As soon as the crisis of war broke out between Germany and France, the Spaniards showed their support to the Germans.

The army even began to expand the next day.

The French are puzzled and a little surprised at the same time~www.readmtl.com~ You are really good at Tiezi.

The two countries have always been traditional friends, and this support has made the French people feel good about it.

Even the intimate title of “brother” was brought to the head of the Spaniards.

The French folks could not help but calculate the chances of winning the war of revenge after joining Spain.

The Spaniards also have no problem with the government’s move.

After all, except for the period of Napoleon the Great, the relationship between the two sides has indeed been good.

Even when the Spaniards lost all their colonies in America, the French even sent troops to help recover them.

Silently accepted the French brotherhood, and the government’s move was supported.
