Holy Roman Empire

Chapter 1032: Misfortune leads to the east

Views:

It is self-evident what will happen to the Moroccan tribe, who originally hated Spain, after obtaining a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Since the arms sellers are wearing British vests and continue to pretend to be the British government to support the anti-Western movement in Morocco, it is even more of a problem.

There is a precedent for supporting the Cuban independence movement, and it is also a very natural operation to secretly support the Moroccan anti-Western movement.

At least in the mindset of a Moroccan tribal chief, there is absolutely no reason to doubt. What's more, other things can be deceived, but genuine weapons and ammunition cannot lie.

The difference in cognition fills the last loophole for this scam. It was impossible for the chiefs to think that weapons and ammunition, which were invaluable in their eyes, were not much more expensive than potatoes and wheat in the eyes of another wave of people.

Guns are the courage of Moroccans. When the chiefs who got the weapons, faced the Spanish colonists, their confidence came up all of a sudden.

Swallow it, it doesn't exist. You must know that the British Empire is behind it, and looking at the British warships in the Strait of Gibraltar on the opposite side brings unparalleled confidence to the chiefs.

Driven by hatred and interests, Spanish immigrants in Morocco fell for a while. Being beaten with a sap is nothing at all. If you can save a life, you are lucky, and the unlucky ones are sent to see God.

Fortunately, there are no cannibal tribes in Morocco. Otherwise, I might have to go to the barbecue.

There is nothing wrong with the government taking the blame for civil conflicts. The decadent Moroccan government could not control the tribes below it internally, and did not dare to offend the foreign powers externally.

The same is true in the original time and space. The Spaniards and the local tribes in Morocco fought several times, and the Moroccan government was pretending to be deaf.

The decadent Moroccan sultan government is worried, and the Spanish government, which is in endless trouble, is also not feeling well at the moment.

On the one hand, the personal and property safety of the expatriates must be guaranteed; on the other hand, the exhausted Spain has been unable to open up a third front.

Diplomatic strength is really just a bluff. Indigenous tribes do not buy it, and it will not help to scare the Moroccan government.

Madrid, Cabinet Room.

From the moment he entered the venue, Prime Minister Antonio tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was in endless contemplation.

"Everyone is here, so let's start today's meeting! I believe you have all received the news, and the thing we are most worried about has happened.

Following the rebellions in the Philippines and Cuba, the Morocco region is also unstable. Aboriginal tribes hostile to us, funded by the British, are causing us trouble.

What steps should be taken next to safeguard the interests of the Empire is what we need to discuss today. "

Regardless of whether the British support the Moroccan anti-Western movement, it must be the British who support it now. This is a political need.

To this day, whether the Spanish government wants to or not, it has to stand against the British.

The money of the Vienna government is not for nothing. If they don't take a stand, it will not only be the turmoil in Morocco, but the turmoil in Spain.

Unlike the notorious and strait-blocked British, the influence of the Holy Roman Empire on the European continent is far more terrifying.

If the Vienna government stopped supporting them in favor of the Revolutionary Party, Spain would not only lose its colonies, but even the homeland would be thrown into chaos.

Although the Vienna government, which is the stronghold of conservatives, cannot support the Revolutionary Party now, but the Spanish government does not know

Politics, no one can tell. There are too many stories of shouting and killing, and secretly providing support. There are too many stories in politics.

Anyway, the relationship between Britain and Spain has always been bad. Recently, the British have lost half of their lives on the colonial issue, so they simply go to the dark side and directly oppose the British.

Of course, the Spanish government's anti-British efforts were limited to chanting a few slogans politically to express its position. It is the Holy Roman Empire that really shoulders the heavy responsibility of anti-British.

If Britain is really down, Antonio doesn't mind rushing up and down immediately, otherwise it's better to stay in the line.

"Military means are obviously not advisable. The war in the Philippines has not ended, and the suppression of the Cuban rebellion has reached a critical moment. Not only the military can't bear it, but also the finances!"

Chancellor of the Exchequer Siegfried said earnestly. It's not that he wants to help the military to evade it, but the main reason is that the government's pockets are really weak.

Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs went out for a walk and borrowed two huge sums of money to come back, it was more than expected, but no amount of money could withstand the consumption of the Gold Swallowing Beast.

At the anticipation of the crowd, Foreign Minister Junior frowned, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.

"Don't expect too much, the Kingdom of Morocco has only nominal sovereignty over the tribes below. Even if an agreement is reached with them, it will not restrain the natives below.

Can't expect us to talk to uncivilized native tribes? There are thousands of tribes in Morocco, large and small, more than our diplomats. "

In the depths of his heart, Junior had already secretly complained: Do you really think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is omnipotent and can solve everything

Knowing that the situation in Morocco is turbulent, someone is manipulating behind it, and hoping to solve it through negotiation, it is simply…

The Colonial Minister Marquis Taboada said indifferently: "Military is not desirable, diplomacy is impossible. We can't just let it go, right

Those uncivilized natives do not understand what international rules are. If the government does not take measures soon to combat their arrogance, I am afraid that the next attack will not be an exception.

Spain's face has been trampled to the ground. If it continues to let go, everyone knows what will happen in the future. "

In fact, the conflict between Spain and the indigenous tribes of Morocco has not happened once or twice.

In order to solve this crisis, the Spanish government has sent troops many times. However, the end result was very moving.

In the original time and space, Spain and the Moroccans PKed until 1926, and finally they joined the French to divide it up and occupied the North Morocco area.

Although the original time and space lost the most prosperous colony in the Spanish-American War, and Spain's national strength suffered heavy losses, but the current Spain is not much better.

Apart from taking back the Roussillon area, which is more glamorous in appearance, there is not much difference in essence.

Although Cuba and the Philippines are in their hands, these two colonies are fighting for independence. Not only can it not be transfused into the country, but it must continue to suck blood from the Spanish government.

The dilemma, placed on any government, will be a headache.

Not to mention the inefficient Spanish government. There are meetings and discussions every day, but there is no feasible plan to come up with.

London

As the international situation continues to deteriorate, as the well-deserved overlord of this era, John Bull will naturally not sit still.

It is almost an open secret that the Vienna government has used diplomatic means to constantly besiege Britain. Restricted by geopolitics, the British government has no way to compete with Shinra on the European continent.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the longer they go on at the current rhythm, the worse it will be for Britain.

But neither delay nor do, although the Holy Roman Empire is Britain's biggest competitor, the development direction of the two sides is completely different.

One is based on land power as the core, supplemented by sea power as wings; the other is completely based on sea power, giving up development of land power.

If it really was a showdown now, no one could do anything and no one would say it. The point is that in a confrontational war of attrition, Britain is likely to be dragged to death by the opponent.

The population is insufficient, the industry cannot keep up, and there is a lack of allies. How does this make the British government dare to showdown

Without tearing its face, Britain's hegemony can still be maintained. Once you really turn your face, you may fall right away.

A sensible government will naturally not gamble on the country's fortunes. Stud at the table is not suitable for players who are already wearing shoes.

As an old-school empire, Britain is best at being a shit stick. It's just that the current situation in Europe has limited their performance.

However, these difficulties did not frighten the British. If there are no conditions, then create the conditions yourself.

Beating Spain was only the first step, and it seemed that Britain had not gained much from it, but it took away Shinra's help.

The only problem is overestimating Spain's strength and misjudging the importance of Spain to Shinra.

However, this can only be regarded as unlucky for Spain. Britain is unwilling to use its own opinion against the three major powers. It must find an opportunity to differentiate the relationship between Russia and the West.

If the Russian-Austrian alliance is not easy to break, then only Spain can be used. The alienation of the Océ relationship has indeed succeeded, but Spain is almost abolished, and the hatred between the two countries has exploded.

The new hatred and the old hatred are added together, and the relationship between Britain and the West is completely cool. Fortunately, Spain is in decline and has no ability to retaliate, otherwise the London government will capsize this time.

It doesn't matter if the process is tortuous, as long as the end result is good, that's fine.

Although there was little real gain, Britain was still the nominal victor by knocking Spain off its horse.

It smashed the possible "Ossi Anti-British Alliance", and yes, just because of one "possible", it led to Spain's coolness.

At this stage, the competition between the great powers is so cruel. If you feel threatened, you can shoot you down. The reason is that simple.

10 Downing Street, the British Cabinet meeting opened again.

Prime Minister Robert Cecil: "The Russian-Austrian alliance lasted for almost half a century, and if we go back, it can continue into the last century.

After a long-term alliance, the interests of the two countries have been intertwined, and it is difficult for us to separate them by simply relying on traditional methods.

But this alliance is too great a threat to us. Once the face is turned one day, we will face the threat of two great powers.

The Russians went south to India, and Shinra broke out of the Mediterranean. The four continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa will all be reduced to battlefields, and the empire cannot handle so many fronts at the same time.

The time to test us has come. If the hegemony of Britain is to continue, the Russian-Austrian alliance must be broken.

The worst thing is to keep one of the countries neutral in the event of conflict, and the empire cannot face two enemies at the same time.

There is not much time left for us. The Central Asian Railway built by the Vienna government for the Russians has completed one-third of the project, and the railway is likely to open to traffic before 1900. "

Only mentioning the Russian-Austrian alliance, not the European Union, is not something that Robert Cecil ignored. The main reason is that the Russian-Austrian alliance is deeply rooted, while the European Union is only a grass-roots team.

Although the Continental Alliance played an important role in dealing with the previous economic crisis and intervening in the Philippine campaign, it strengthened the cohesion of the alliance.

But the grass stage team is the grass stage team, and trying to straighten out the grievances and grievances within the alliance is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

Let European countries be the wings, and there is no problem with waving the flag. If these countries are really allowed to send troops to war with Britain, Vienna's face will not be so good.

Of course, the most important thing is strength. After Spain was abolished, Russia and Austria were left in the European Continental Alliance. Even if the other countries dared to participate in the hegemonic disputes, they did not have enough strength.

Even if Shinra finds a way to pull these small countries into the water, don't expect these gangsters to really contribute. The existence of the Continental Union is purely political rather than military.

In contrast, the Russian-Austrian alliance was the existence that Britain had to face. The Russians took India, and Shinra took the remaining colonies and hegemony of Britain. The distribution of benefits is clear at a glance.

Foreign Secretary Cameron: "We have tried to divide the Russian-Austrian relationship, but in the end, as we all know, each time was in vain.

The bureaucrats of the tsarist government have been corroded by interests, and the Russian-Austrian alliance is tied to their personal interests. Anyone who wants to cut off their financial path will be hit the hardest.

Not to mention the Vienna government, the internal stability is terrifying, and there is still an emperor with the highest prestige since the establishment of the Habsburg dynasty.

If it were just these, it would be fine. The key point is that after the strategic move of the tsarist government to the south, there is no core conflict of interests between Russia and Austria.

No matter how we provoke relations between the two countries, the first strategic goal of the Russians is always India, while Shinra's strategic goal is world hegemony.

It happened that we blocked the way of Russia and Austria at the same time and became their common enemy. "

Common enemies + common interests = closest allies.

The formula of truth is placed here, and no one can overturn it. It is indeed embarrassing to expect the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to split the Russian-Austrian alliance.

"Otherwise, it will lead to misfortune?"

Economy Minister Aquinas proposed: "The Russians' strategic target choice is not just one India, there is also a land in the east that is as rich as India.

There was also a Yellow Russia strategy within the tsarist government, the only problem was traffic. Since the Austrians can help the Russians build the Central Asian Railway, we can also help the Russians build the Siberian Railway.

With the greed of the Tsarist government, they will not give up their ambitions in the East. If you can become the boss, no one is willing to be the second child.

It is impossible for the Russians to be clear that once Shinra gains hegemony, it will be the end of the period of the secret treaty between the two countries.

Once Shinra gains hegemony, even if they take India, the strength between Russia and Austria will not shrink, but will increase further.

We are now giving them a new option, a chance to surpass Shinra, which the Tsarist government has no reason to refuse. "

A dead Taoist is not a poor Taoist. In the industry of digging holes and burying mines, Britain is definitely a master.
