Chapter 152 War crisis!
“Now we have to inform the citizens of a heavy thing…”
“In the second half of the night yesterday, Moroccan laborers near Ourense launched an attack on our Spanish army stationed there!”
“Thousands of Moroccan rioters caused about 500 casualties in our army.”
“They took our Maxim machine guns while we were resting at night and fired indiscriminately on our soldiers!”
“The Spanish government will definitely take responsibility for this matter to the end.”
“In order to get justice for our dead compatriots, the Spanish government will use all means to pay for their blood debts!”
“Our King Alfonso XII has ordered a state of emergency for the army.”
“The Spanish government has officially sent a diplomatic note to the Moroccan government.”
“If not, an outcome that will satisfy all of our citizens and the government.”
“Then we will use our rifles to find our rights!”
…
Early the next morning, Le Monde officially published the article condemning the Moroccans.
The picture in the middle is the fifty or so dead Spanish soldiers captured by the photographer who rushed over.
After the news was urgently spread, it immediately caused great public outrage in Spain.
“These **** Moroccans, we’re giving them such great jobs.”
“They actually took revenge and attacked our troops if they couldn’t give us a perfect explanation.”
“Then the Spanish Army will let them know what cruelty is.”
The popularity of Le Monde has spread all over Spain,
For the view on this matter, almost all the Spanish people support the issue of war on Morocco.
In February 1860, about 44,000 Spanish troops took advantage of the weakening of the Sudanese government and launched an invasion of Morocco.
The western army advanced towards Tangier after heavy damage to the Moroccan army,
But because the British did not want Spain to gain a firm foothold near Gibraltar under pressure, they had to suspend the military operations that had begun.
At that time, the Spanish army was still the old-fashioned European army.
It was not particularly strong for the Moroccans, and also caused a certain number of casualties to the Spaniards.
At this time, 17 years have passed since 1860, but the attitude of those who participated in that war towards Morocco is still hostile!
Now that the Spanish government has not taken the initiative to provoke Morocco, Moroccan laborers are working in Spain, which has actually caused a full 500 casualties in the Spanish army.
For the Spanish people who do not know the truth, this is a complete shame for the foreign powers.
“No matter what, we must let them pay their debts with blood!”
“Spain is not a tribe in Morocco, let them kill, this time they must pay the price!”
The Spanish government’s enslavement of Moroccan laborers has not been disclosed, and the society is consistent and hostile to Moroccans’ behavior.
Among ordinary people, the call for an attack on Morocco resounded directly throughout Spain.
In Europe, relevant media in Britain, France, Germany and other countries also reported on the incident.
In this age of imperialism and white supremacy, what Moroccans are doing is arguably outrageous.
In France, because the Spaniards had just backed the French in the crisis of the German-French war.
At this time, the French people all held an attitude of sympathy and support for the sudden death and injury of about 500 people by the Spanish government.
Although the French are full of arrogance, they are still grateful to Spain who helped them.
There are also some more extreme nationalists who even called on the Spanish government to immediately launch a war against the Moroccans.
The brutal killing of whites by indigenous people is unimaginable in this day and age.
The French government even stood up and declared that if the Moroccans did not give the Spaniards an explanation, then France would definitely impose sanctions on Morocco.
“Gene Era”
…
Recently, the British government, which can almost be said to be wearing a pair of trousers with the Spaniards, has not made any reports on this news.
Even British Prime Minister Disraeli scolded the Moroccans in secret, calling them idiots.
It is well known that the Spanish government is interested in Morocco. As early as the war of aggression that started in 1860 was stopped by the British,
The Spanish ambitions for the Moroccans never ceased.
But this incident is not trivial, a group of indigenous Africans killed about a few hundred white people in Europe, even the British government,
No matter how partiality is to Moroccans, I dare not stand up against it at this time.
So at this time, the British government’s attitude towards this matter is to remain neutral, and this is the best diplomatic situation for the Spaniards.
In addition to Britain, France and Spain, there is another country with major interests in Morocco, that is Germany.
The German attitude towards the incident can be said to be ambiguous. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
“We don’t know the circumstances under which Moroccan workers would do this.”
“I think the Spaniards should reveal all the truth before we can judge!”
“We don’t think the Moroccans attacked the Spanish army for no reason. There must be some hidden secrets that we don’t know.”
“The Spanish government should give us a transparent truth to all the people in Europe who are concerned about this matter!”
The Germans directly questioned the Spaniards, and all reasonable people would know that the Moroccans would not suddenly attack the Spanish army.
But for the people of Spain and France, it was a continuation of the crisis of the German-French war.
“In order to discredit the alliance between us, the Germans have absolutely no lower limit!”
“These **** old Germans, are they trying to get people of color to ride on our heads!”
“I think in this incident, if the Germans were killed, then I think the German government would directly carry out a brutal massacre of the Moroccans…”
Regarding the remarks of the German government, the Spanish people and the French people have the same voice to the outside world.
On the other hand, the German public does not know how to refute this matter…
Whatever the truth of the matter is, the attacks on whites by people of color during this period, with so much casualty, are intolerable for all in Europe.
Even if their hearts are supportive of their motherland, Germans can’t find rebuttals in their hearts.
As the other protagonist of the matter, the Moroccan Sudanese government was also in a state of confusion at this time.
Moroccan laborers killed more than 500 Spaniards in Spain?
Incredible…
