Chapter 157 rivalry

Compmiro has officially taken over the post since the previous Spanish ambassador to the UK was transferred.

As an official personally promoted by Alfonso, his personal ability is completely unquestionable.

It has now been a full week since Spain sent a diplomatic note to the Moroccans.

The Madrid government has no time to send people to London to negotiate.

Therefore, Compmiro was ordered to take over this mission directly.

“Your Excellency, this time I am talking about negotiating with full authority on behalf of the Kingdom of Spain!”

In the conference room of the Prime Minister’s Office in London, Compmiro said hello to British Prime Minister Disraeli, who presided over the meeting.

The representative of the German side has not yet arrived, only him and Disraeli are present.

“Good morning, have some tea! This is an excellent tea from the Far East…”

The other master did not arrive, so Disraeli politely brewed tea himself.

Although almost everyone in the UK now drinks tea, before the opening of the Eastern route, the British did not have this habit at all.

As a Spaniard, I am more accustomed to coffee from Cuba than black tea from the East…

“Thank you! Thank you His Excellency the Prime Minister for his willingness to be a mediator between us and Germany.”

Compmiro picked up the tea, took a sip, and then thanked Disraeli gently.

“They are all peace-loving countries, we just want to avoid any possible war…”

Disraeli’s face was sullen, and his mouth was a diplomatic rhetoric.

Compmiro can’t deny that, in the diplomatic arena, no matter what kind of deeds are going on behind the scenes.

Respect for the sovereignty and peace of other countries will always be the main theme, even for Britain and France, the two biggest robbers of this century.

The two chatted one after another, and the topic gradually shifted to the American Civil War.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, our country provides such a large amount of army equipment to the south, and such a large order is also a surprise for our country!”

Compmiro told what he knew. It is impossible for the British not to be jealous of the US-Western arms purchase.

“And this matter is unattainable, and now only the United States has the financial resources and the demand in the world.”

“And it just so happens that we are the only manufacturer in the world!”

His hands were paralyzed, and he seemed helpless to say these words.

Disraeli on the opposite side twitched his brows. This is indeed something that cannot be refuted, but his goal today is not here.

“But has your country considered that if the strength of the South is too strong, it is likely to have too severe an impact on the local balance.”

The Spanish-style army of a full 400,000 people, relying on three or two small fish and shrimps in the north, really can’t help but make people worry.

“Once the South defeats the North with devastating strength, we are very worried that the United States will be reborn in another way.”

Disraeli’s worries are not unreasonable. The strength of the North is indeed too weak today. Once the tail of the South cannot be lost, it will be a more terrifying existence than before the United States split.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think the northern government will also be able to see it!”

“And in response to this strategy, they will have to go all over the world for aid and arms orders.”

“Compared with the South, the North has undoubtedly much greater potential for war in terms of population, industry, and war.”

“I want to strengthen them appropriately. The **** civil war between the North and the South is bound to exceed our imagination…”

“Sword Comes”

Compo Miro was holding the warm tea and looked straight at the British Prime Minister Disraeli in front of him.

The Spanish government is naturally aware of the concerns of the British.

But in the Spanish plan, the scale of this war must exceed the previous one, and the more casualties, the best thing for Britain and Spain.

“But who can do this for the north, the British Empire has the industrial strength to provide them with equipment.”

“But it will definitely be opposed by the South and it will affect the overall image of Britain in the outside world.”

Disraeli stroked his forehead, the armament order the North needed was bound to be huge, and it was impossible for the British not to be jealous.

However, the matter funded by both sides will inevitably cause European countries to be dissatisfied with the British.

It is obviously not so easy to get more support on the US issue.

“Your Excellency, the Germans are actually a good choice, aren’t they?”

Compromiro pointed out that the strength of Germany’s army should not be underestimated, and its strong domestic military industry can also continuously transfuse blood to the north.

“In exchange for a share of the British Empire’s profits if we let German transport ships go to America as a condition.”

“The Germans are bound to be willing to accept our terms.”

The northern government is already contacting the Germans for an arms purchase treaty, but because of the British and Western countries in the other’s forces, the Germans are obviously hesitant.

There is no place for the Germans in the vast Atlantic Ocean, and the British, French, and Western countries are not very good at dealing with them.

Especially the British and Spaniards, the pirate flags are hung on the warships, and it is still unknown how many transport ships can actually reach the northern government…

“emm…”

Disraeli remained silent, thinking about the possibility of this method in his heart.

“The Kingdom of Spain will not participate in it and share the profits belonging to the British Empire, so the Prime Minister can solve it on his own…”

Spain has already made enough profits in the south, although the north is also the big one.

But if you eat too much, you will easily be jealous of your peers, and it will be bad if you die.

“Okay… We’ll get in touch with the Germans later…”

“If it doesn’t work, we will play in person, and the balance between the North and the South must not be broken…”

Obviously, if the Germans can’t make profits that satisfy the British, their business should be difficult to do…

The scene began to be silent, but it didn’t last long, and the German representative finally arrived late…

The time has not yet come, but the Spanish representative has arrived too early, and the rigid and rigorous Germans are not going to put on airs in this kind of thing.

“Good morning, Mr. William!”

British Prime Minister Disraeli greeted him first.

“Good morning, Mr. Prime Minister.”

The representative of Germany named Wilhelm is a member of the German royal family, of course, has nothing to do with the later famous Wilhelm II.

“Hello, Mr. William.”

Peace talks initiated by the British have officially begun.

On a round table, representatives of Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom sat in three positions to start negotiations.

“The purpose of the British this time is to adjust the contradiction between the two sides. I think the two sides should be able to make the biggest concession within the acceptable range!”

As the moderator, British Prime Minister Disraeli took the lead in opening the conversation, discussing the Morocco issue for the two sides.

“His Excellency Disraeli, the interests of the German diaspora in Morocco cannot be ignored by our country.”

“Our country deeply regrets what happened to the Spanish soldiers, but this does not mean that we can sympathize with the Spaniards by abandoning the interests of our nationals!”

Wilhelm of Germany. The first to express the appeal.

Germany’s interests in Morocco are indeed huge, but the Spaniards don’t care about them.

His Majesty King Alfonso XII has stated in a telegram that Spain will not accept any compromise.

Even if Germany threatens Spain with war, it will give it a shot in this crisis.

“The interests of the German diaspora can be guaranteed by the Spanish government.”

“But the same Chinese soldiers sacrifice more than 500 people, and the Chinese people are bound to unacceptable.”

“If the Moroccans do not accept our demands in three days, then the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of Morocco will officially be at war!”

Compmiro showed an extremely tough attitude from the start, and the negotiations are not destined to last long because the Spanish government is not going to make concessions.

“Mr. William, instead of trying to persuade us not to go to war with Morocco, I think you should consider getting the Moroccans to agree to our demands!”

However, the terms and conditions of the treaty that Spain gave Morocco were all humiliating and humiliating, and absolutely unacceptable to the royal government.

“Your Excellency Ambassador, but the treaty your country gave to the Moroccans was too harsh?”

“Even as an outsider, I think this treaty is completely unacceptable…”

Wilhelm, the German representative, apparently also knew the content of the treaty~www.readmtl.com~ objected to the words of the Spanish ambassador, Campo Miro.

“The Germans will not allow Spain to occupy all of Morocco. If your country really does such a thing, let us meet on the battlefield!”

Wilhelm, the German representative, patted the table in front of him and glared at Compomiro.

Since Bismarck forced three wars, the prestige of the Germans was unparalleled in Europe.

Before the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia was just a European power without any significant influence in the world.

However, after the Franco-Prussian War, the German Empire after the successful reunification of the German region had more than doubled its population and industrial strength compared to the Kingdom of Prussia.

At the same time as the growth of strength, although the German Empire has become stronger, the disadvantages are also obvious – the European powers are wary of the rise of Germany.

“Your Excellency William, although Spain may not be as powerful as the German Empire, our country is by no means a country that is afraid of challenges.”

“If your country’s attitude is so tough, then it’s better for us to see the real move on the battlefield.”

Seeing that the German representative was so aggressive, Cantomiro, a Spaniard, naturally felt insulted.

The reason why the Germans are so blatant and tough is nothing more than the weak national power of Spain.

“If your country’s opinion is like this, then I don’t think there is any need for the two sides to continue talking!”

…

Looking at the two people who were already fighting each other from the very beginning, Prime Minister Disraeli, who was the mediator, couldn’t help but sighed while holding his forehead.

“Your Excellency Compmiro, I think your country can give some benefits to the Germans in Morocco as compensation, what do you think?”
