Chapter 131 Army propaganda

“They are resolute, brave, obedient, tall, well-dressed, and rigorous in military posture. No country’s army has the same qualities as Spain.

They also have the most advanced equipment in the world. Under the same number, no country’s army is their opponent.

Their mission was to defend the kingdom, its people, and its king, and the best Spanish soldiers were the country’s strongest shield. ”

The fundamental reason why we can live and work in Spain in peace and contentment is that we have the protection of the army so that we do not have to be bullied by other countries.

They don’t have time to spend the next month, they don’t have more time to care for their families, they can’t do their filial piety, they can’t stay with the people they like, they have too many…

Because they are soldiers, they must put the country first and the people first,

They have no choice, because they are soldiers, they chose to be soldiers as their career, and they have no regrets.

Because of them, the most stable fortress in the Kingdom of Spain was built. ”

……

The latest issue of Le Monde published such a report on the Spanish Army.

A poster of a Spanish Army soldier was placed in the middle of the headlines of the newspaper Le Monde.

In the muddy ground, a Spanish soldier knelt down on one knee, with a grenade in his hand supported on the ground, and the m36 steel helmet on his head seemed to cover his eyes.

He looked forward as if to detect the enemy’s situation, his slightly open mouth seemed to be breathing heavily.

This is the most ordinary Spanish soldier, but it shows the true appearance of the Spanish army.

The number of recruits recruited far exceeds expectations, and it does not need to be like later generations to be able to recruit soldiers.

It is not as glamorous as the soldiers walking on the street, and it also reminds some young people who just want to show off that the army is not as easy as imagined.

Increase the publicity of the army and improve the image of the army in the minds of the people. This is the common intention of Alfonso and the military.

It is not known when the Moroccan war will break out. In order to increase the level of public support for this war, some propaganda for the army before this is essential.

Let the people have confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army, and the resistance to launching a war will become less and less.

For those who do not understand Spain’s intentions, this move can be said to be a move to support the French in the crisis of the German-French war.

After the crisis broke out between the two sides, the Spaniards made a series of measures against the army.

Although the military expansion and military propaganda are not aimed at the Germans by name, they are completely different in the eyes of the Germans, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a naked demonstration.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don’t know why Spain is so supportive of the French?”

The army chief of staff Mao Qi asked the Bismarck in front of him, the diplomatic affairs, the Bismarck in front of him deserves his trust.

“The French must have paid something, otherwise the Spaniards would never have supported them so hard.”

There are only interests between countries, and after being stabbed in the back by the Russians in 1875, Bismarck abandoned his diplomatic traditions.

“And this benefit must be given by France, but not by us.”

Bismarck saw the problem at a glance and said bluntly that Spain and France are both overseas colonial powers, and there are too many benefits that the two sides can exchange and pay.

And Germany lives in the very center of Germany, and has no interest in contact with the Spaniards. Even if they want to give it, they can’t give anything decent.

“If faced with the combined forces of France and Spain, can Germany resolve the war as quickly as the Franco-Prussian War?”

Bismarck’s eyes were fixed on Mao Qi in front of him, and he also trusted Mao Qi’s military ability.

In 1866, he commanded the Prussian army to win the Austro-Prussian War.

After the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in July 1870, he commanded three legions to face the French army and won a decisive victory in the Battle of Sedan, making a major contribution to the realization of German unification.

William I praised in his toast at the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles: “You Ron, you sharpened the sword; you Moqi, used the sword correctly.”

Two legendary figures of the Prussian Army who single-handedly created the unification and rise of Germany.

“If we take advantage of the high mobility of the army again, there is still the possibility of defeating France again, but after the last war. The French must be prepared.

And behind France there is Spain, which is something that cannot be solved quickly without relying on mobility.

Even if we defeat the French, it is bound to fall into a protracted war and a war of attrition in Spain, and the French in the rear are likely to continuously participate in the Spanish army.

But the final victory of the German army is only a matter of time. The strength gap between Spain and Germany is too great. The longer the delay, the better it will be for us. ”

Mao Qi paused for a while, then looked at Bismarck. This is the result after the French chose to surrender in just 7 weeks, just like the last time.

But with the prepared French, whether it will be the same as last time is still a problem.

“And if we don’t have a quick solution to the French in the French war, then we’ll have to face a steady stream of well-equipped armies.

The Spaniards have a small army, but they can provide French recruits with the best army equipment in the world.

And our equipment advantage in the Franco-Prussian War will no longer exist. Although the quality of our army is higher, it is definitely not enough.

If this is the case, the fire of war is likely to burn to the German mainland! ”

Mao Qi elaborated on two different possibilities, and then looked at the brooding Bismarck.

The possibility of Germany winning is still very high, but it is no surprise that there will be heavy losses, and the fruits of victory in the war will never be able to make up for these losses.

Bismarck obviously realized this, and it was really not worthwhile for the Germans to face the Franco-Spanish alliance at the same time.

“And what about the Russians? If the Russians were with us, what would the outcome and course of the war be like?”

Bismarck asked Mo Qi in a deep voice. Today’s Russians are indeed a worthy target, and it is entirely worthwhile to give up the interests of the Balkans in exchange for the support of the Russians.

“If the Russians join us, then we can win!

In the end, Spain has no possibility to compare with the Russians, and it doesn’t even need a big strategy. They can’t stop us from advancing smoothly all the way. ”

In the past, the Russians were restricted by poor logistics, but we can help them. If Germany and Russia were to form an alliance, Europe would not be able to find a second force that could be stopped! “
