Long before the Carlos rebellion in the Basque Country, the German representatives were in contact with the Spanish government to discuss with them the possibility of Leopold succeeding to the Spanish throne again, and if the Spanish government was willing to let Leopold succeed him, Germany was willing to recognize Mexico and other American territories and reintegrate them into the Spanish Empire.

Germany's aim was simple: to gain a strategic advantage over France by making its own prince king of Spain.

But what Germany wanted was what France prevented, and France, after communicating with the Spanish government, supported Spain in establishing a republic like France.

After the Spanish government proclaimed a republic, the Carlos faction began to rebel. At this time, Germany contacted the Carlos faction, and after confirming that the Spanish government was on the side of France, Germany was willing to support the Carlos regime as long as Carlos was willing to make some concessions, even if only in name such as the territory of the Americas.

When the Carlos family ruled Mexico with the support of China, they did not attach importance to Mexico and were obsessed with the Spanish throne, and at this time, they did not hesitate to support them to seize the throne in exchange for giving up the territory of the Americas.

So Germany began to support the Carlos regime, openly declaring its recognition of the legitimacy of Don Carlos' throne, withdrawing diplomats from Madrid in favor of sending diplomats to the Basque Country. At the same time, they strongly supported the Carlos regime economically, gave them preferential loans and allowed them to purchase arms from Germany.

France supports the Spanish government, in addition to the Spanish government's willingness to establish a republic like France, it also believes that the Basque Country is not only located in Spain, but also belongs to the Basque Country in part of the Bay of Biscay in France.

Therefore, France correspondingly provided aid, preferential loans and arms aid to the Spanish government, but it is a pity that France's steel industry has always been inferior to Germany, and the gap between the arms industry is not small. After the expansion of the Spanish government army, the weapons and equipment have been insufficient.

The scale of the arms industry in various countries in peacetime could not be too large, and as the war continued, the shortage of arms in the Spanish government became more and more serious. On the other hand, the Basque Country, controlled by the Carlos regime, was the center of Spain's machinery industry, which could not only purchase arms from Germany, which had a developed military industry, but also could manufacture them themselves, which led to the defeat of the government army.

So the Spaniards began to search for arms all over the world, and in the world's arms market, Chinese products are quite prestigious, good quality is one thing, and fast supply is what the Spaniards value most. Therefore, they found some middlemen to purchase arms for them in China, and De Xuanlin & Co., one of the largest foreign companies, also received this order.

De Xuanlin is not in a hurry to do this business, he still needs to understand the market, he needs to investigate that the Spaniards also ordered arms from those foreign companies, and he needs to communicate with these foreign companies to prevent malicious competition, resulting in meager profits.

At the same time, he needed to understand the urgency of the Spaniards so that he could use it as a reference for the commission, and he also needed to understand the state of the Spanish government so that he could assess the risks of the deal.

De Glalin found that the Spaniards had placed orders with almost all the large foreign firms, which showed the urgency of the munitions.

De Xuanlin frequently visited various foreign firms, agreed on a commission ratio of not less than 5/1,000, and then began to negotiate with the Spanish consul. The Spanish consul demanded that the foreign banks be responsible for transporting the goods, and de Celestine demanded that the Spanish government pay cash. The Spanish government accepts the requirement to pay in cash, but the requirement must be delivered at a Spanish port, that is, cash on delivery.

With the support of France, De Bulin believed that the Spanish government's finances would be guaranteed in the short term, so he accepted the request. In terms of commission, the Spanish consul did not insist too much, especially when De Zhulin promised to give him a rebate of 1/1000, and the Spanish consul agreed to a commission ratio of 5/1000.

At this time, De Zhulin was only concerned about how much money the Spaniards could make him, and as to whether his dear homeland, Germany, would be damaged by this, he felt that it was not a matter for him as a businessman to consider.

Having a wide network of contacts and high efficiency, De Joylyn quickly contacted the Chinese military industry and signed agreements with a number of private machine factories, which he assured of sufficient orders, and the machine factories were willing to switch to munitions.

The next thing is to organize the delivery of goods, and the most satisfying thing for the Spaniards is that before the new weapons are produced, De Zhulin has contacted a batch of stockpiled arms for Spain through his own connections. It's not the reserve arms of the Chinese army, which De Xuanlin doesn't have so much energy, but the stocks of arms of Chinese overseas companies, a total of 100,000 breech-loading rifled rifles and 1,000 breech-loading guns in the hands of European companies.

This batch of arms greatly relieved the urgent needs of the Spanish government, and with the assistance of the French, they armed an army of 500,000 and successfully stabilized the attack of the Carlos faction.

But at this time, it is too early to say that they can go back, probably because of the mountain, the Basques have always had a reputation for fierceness in Spain, and the Spanish government army only blocked the attack of the Carlos army composed of Basque soldiers, and then mainly stabilized the situation in the rear, in case of rebellion in the southwest such as Barcelona, which also has a tendency to secede.

Spain also needed to arm more troops, and the French had been running low on munitions, so Spain began to place larger and larger orders for De Celin.

In addition to making a lot of money from the war, De Celin also began to pay attention to the political newspaper, because he clearly knew that there were great powers behind the Spanish Civil War through his connections, but the newspaper came to the same conclusion from the analysis alone.

The editor's pen name of the newspaper is Jing Neng Jushi, and he is a well-known pen stick. The name of the newspaper is Sengoku Daily, and the basic thesis is that the world is in a world of great controversy, and it is the Warring States period of the whole world.

Jingneng laymen have always held the proposition that they must be united for a long time, believing that there must be heroes on the European continent, sweeping the six and eight wildernesses, and unifying the European continent. Therefore, he judged that there must be a great war in Europe, and whether Europe is divided or united depends on the outcome of this war.

He also commented that the arms race will not last long and that a major war will inevitably occur. In this war, China will completely destroy Britain, ally with European princes, and become a world hegemon.

Jing Neng believed that it was possible for Europe to be unified, but China could not rule Europe, so it was the most realistic policy to establish a five-hegemony system in the Spring and Autumn Period and make the European powers recognize China's status as the dominant alliance through alliances.

Jing Neng Jushi believes that there are several ways in which the Spanish Civil War may lead to a major war, and the direct intervention of the powers supporting both sides of the civil war will inevitably lead to a major war; Even if all countries were behind the scenes, if the Spanish Civil War triggered a revolution in Europe, it could also lead to a major war.

Jing Neng also accurately predicted that there would be tensions between Germany and France over the Spanish Civil War. Because both Germany and France are striving for control of Spain, but France has a greater advantage, and at the same time, France absolutely cannot accept the situation of Germany controlling Spain, so once the forces supported by Germany begin to gain an advantage, France will inevitably directly intervene, and France's interference will definitely cause confrontation with Germany. The Franco-German confrontation will definitely involve China and Britain. Therefore, although the Spanish Civil War may not necessarily cause a world war, there is a risk of causing a world war.

In the past, De Xuanlin thought that this Jingneng layman was talking nonsense, but now he felt that what the other party said was becoming more and more reasonable.

Moreover, he also found theoretical support for his behavior of standing on the opposite side of the interests of the motherland from the theory of Jing Neng layman. Because the Jingneng lay man judged that once the forces supported by Germany prevailed, France would intervene, and once France intervened, Germany and France would confront each other, and a world war could break out.

Therefore, De Zhulin's purchase of arms for the Spanish government army is actually to avoid the deterioration of the situation, and it is fundamentally to maintain world peace.

He is all for the sake of maintaining world peace, so it is naturally happier to sell arms and have no psychological burden.

And the arms sold through his hands soon went from 100,000 to 300,000, and then a million rifles.

Such large-scale arms purchases also testify to the tragedy of the Spanish Civil War.

With the support of the great powers, the scale and intensity of this civil war far exceeded that of the historical Carlos War.

Carlos, with the support of the Basques, easily occupied a large area. And the Spanish army and the government have also been divided, among which a large number of military generals defected to the Gocaros faction, Carlos can set off rebellions in Spain again and again, the influence of the Carlos family itself is indeed huge, and the religion can also be supported by many devout believers, and the Spanish piety to Catholicism is ranked high in Europe, and it is because of the fact that under the banner of God, they united to expel the rule of the Muslim country, this special emotion, so that the Spanish religious atmosphere has always been very strong, Spain's religious influence has also always been great.

Under the influence of religion and aristocracy, the army and government were divided, and the power of the Carlos faction grew rapidly. By the end of 1873, the Carlists had occupied the entire northern part of the Ebro River, and the entire northern part of the French border, and the important cities of the southern and Mediterranean coasts such as Alcoy, Seville, Cádiz and Valencia had also fallen into the hands of the Carlosians, leaving only one Bilbao in the entire Basque Country still in the hands of government forces, and in early 1874, the Carlists troops began to besiege Bilbao.

In this context, Serrano, the general of government forces, also staged a coup d'état to overthrow the republic. Unlike in history, the Carlos, with the help of Germany, captured Seville and occupied the entire Basque Country before they could stabilize power in Serrano.

After the coup, he immediately halted an arms ship preparing to sail from the Black Sea, and informed the Spanish consul that future transactions must be paid before delivery, because with the important ports on the Mediterranean coast falling under the control of the Carlos regime, De Celin's business became more risky, and he began to worry about the chaotic Spanish government's ability to pay.

After the Spanish consul made it clear that he could not afford to pay first, De Roulin could not let the arms fall into his own hands, and it happened that the Carlos faction was also asking for arms everywhere, and the northern coastal areas could still get aid from Germany, but it was difficult to get German arms in Valencia, Cádiz, Seville and other places on the southern Mediterranean coast, because the Spanish government controlled the central region and the Catalonia region centered on Barcelona in the east, dividing the Carlos forces into two sections.

So the Carlos faction in Valencia and other places was in dire need of arms assistance.

De Glalin had a channel to contact the Carlos faction, and after Carlos guaranteed it through a German bank, De Roulin immediately sent 300,000 rifles, 2,000 cannons, and millions of rounds of ammunition and ammunition to Valencia, Cádiz, Seville and other places.

At this time, De Xuanlin still did not have any psychological burden, his heart was full of strong patriotic feelings, he knew that this time he was helping his motherland, he sold arms to the Carlos faction, he was helping his beloved motherland Germany to fight for interests.
