Chapter 153 ultimatum
“His Majesty Hassan I, I think you should give the Spaniards an explanation!”
“The laborers recruited by our country in Morocco actually attacked our army in Spain for no reason, causing about 500 casualties in our country.”
“There must be a mysterious force behind this and organizers. I think as the king of all Moroccans, His Majesty the Sultan must have heard of this news.”
Fes, the capital of Morocco. The Spanish ambassador to Morocco met with Moroccans early in the morning on the matter.
“Your Excellency Ambassador, our government is saddened by the occurrence of this incident, but our country has no way of knowing the mastermind of this incident!”
“Our country will thoroughly investigate this matter at home, and we will give your country a satisfactory explanation!”
Hassan I looked at the aggressive Spanish ambassador in the audience and felt helpless for a while.
When this happened, even he was caught off guard, because the Moroccan government did not give any instructions on this matter.
And this reason is obvious, the Spanish ambassador on the opposite side is not very trusting.
The Moroccans have no way of knowing what happened, but from a closer look, the Spaniards were indeed injured by hundreds of people for no reason.
The Spaniards are still willing to negotiate with them to find the murderer, which is the most tolerant attitude in his opinion.

However, the smashing of a cake shop in Mexico and France directly caused a war between the two sides. The soldiers in a certain place disappeared, and the British may directly declare war.
Not to mention that the Spaniards have now killed and wounded hundreds of people.
“Then we look forward to the results of your country’s investigation, but in addition, we also need your country to make the following guarantees to us!”
The Spanish ambassador stated his terms to King Hassan I of Morocco.
“1. Your country needs to seize any publications that cause hatred and contempt for the Spanish royal family!
2. Ban any ethnic armed groups that oppose Spain, and ban any anti-Spanish propaganda organization.
3. Accept legal action to punish under the assistance and instructions of the relevant departments designated by the Spanish government!
4. Accept the Spanish government’s suppression of any attempts to subvert the Spanish kingdom in Morocco!
…”
The Spanish ambassador eloquently put forward 10 conditions, printed them as pictures and texts, and sent them to the Sultan of Morocco.
“His Majesty the Sultan, this is our country’s request to your country regarding this incident, and I hope you can accept it!”
This is a totally humiliating treaty, in which Articles 3 and 4 seriously violate Moroccan law and undermine Morocco’s sovereignty.
“Your Excellency Ambassador, I don’t think we will accept such a treaty that humiliates the country and seriously undermines our sovereignty!”
“If your country is so unreasonable, then I think there is no need for the two sides to continue talking!”
Sultan Hassan I of Morocco took the documents handed over by the Spanish ambassador and threw it aside, saying he would never accept it.
Morocco has been able to exist so close to Europe for so many years, except for its own attitude. In addition to being relatively low-key, it is also related to the complicated interests of various countries in Morocco.
Once a war breaks out here, the British, Germans, and French are unwilling to see it.
“This is a condition that our country gives to your country, but it is also an ultimatum to your country,
If your country cannot accept our terms, then I think we will have to meet on the battlefield. ”
Undaunted, the Spanish ambassador responded directly with an ultimatum.
“If your country fails to give us an answer within 10 days, the two sides will automatically enter a state of war.”
…
Turning to the treaty in his hand, Hassan I of Morocco turned his head to his beloved minister Ahafiz and said:
“Go and get in touch with the Germans, if they want to keep their interests in Morocco, now they have to keep us!”
The farce between Western France and Germany in Europe is well known.
The French have blatantly sided with the Spaniards, while the Germans are clearly on the opposite side.
“Contact the Brits at the same time, but it’s best not to have any hope of them.”
Obviously, Hassan I also knew that Spain and the United Kingdom are wearing a pair of pants recently, and it is even more difficult to win the support of the British.
“It’s Your Majesty, but the Germans have a weak navy, and I don’t think they’ll be of much help to us!”
Ahfiz said that there is no one but the Germans who can help them now, but the Germans obviously do not have such a large naval force to support Morocco.
“Don’t think about it, we can only fight for any force that can support us to minimize this treaty!”
Hassan I of course knew that the most important thing at the moment was to seek help from anyone to deal with the Spaniard’s lion’s mouth.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I’ll do it now!”
After speaking, Aha Qizi hurried to Germany and France. The British Embassy began to seek help~www.readmtl.com~ and began to carry out this series of war propaganda in Spain.
All kinds of propaganda posters of Spanish Army soldiers were posted in Le Monde for propaganda all over the world.
There are also Castilla-class battleships in service with the Spanish Navy, which are always used in the headlines of Spanish newspapers.
Nationalists and chauvinists in Spain began to frantically clamor for war.
These ultra-nationalists are not concerned with the casualties of their true fellow citizens, but with a passion for the occurrence of wars.
In their opinion, Morocco is a war excuse delivered to the door, and the Spanish nation should take this opportunity to conquer Morocco completely.
“In European countries, people’s resistance to war is so strong that we don’t want to start a war against the outside world,
So while about 500 heroic Army soldiers were killed and wounded, we still gave the Moroccans a chance, and a way!
But we oppose war and expect peace, it does not mean that we are weak, if Morocco does not give us a reasonable explanation,
and rejected our terms, then we will fight to protect our dignity,
The Spanish government will ensure that the logistics of all troops will be supplied wherever the troops hit!
Spain’s strong, tenacious army will let them know our determination to protect the dignity of Spain.
We officially issued an ultimatum to the Moroccans. If they do not give us a satisfactory answer after 10 days, we and Morocco will enter a state of war!
This is to inform all Spanish nationals, let us unite to maintain the dignity of the Kingdom of Spain! ”
The Le Monde of the day directly disclosed the news that the Spanish government had issued an ultimatum to the Moroccan government…
