The Spanish envoy pretended to be tough: "What do you Germans want?" ”

Bismarck: "As I said earlier, we will only accept the unconditional surrender of Spain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Spanish emissary: "What if I say that it is impossible for us in Spain to accept such conditions?" ”

Bismarck: "Well, Spain will probably have to go to London and form a free Spanish government-in-exile." ”

The Spanish envoy Dahan said: "I have no right to decide this kind of thing. Can there be a ceasefire at the front for a week or two, our king will think about it. ”

Bismarck shook his head: "We Germans believe in what we can't get on the battlefield, and we can't get it at the negotiating table." There will be no ceasefire on the front unless the Spanish army lays down its arms and surrenders to the German army. ”

The Spanish envoy shook his head: "That can't be. ”

Bismarck: "I know so, but when you reply to the King of Spain, remember that the greater the losses of the German army in the war against Britain and its allies, the more severe the punishment after the war." Think of the Netherlands. ”

Faced with Bismarck's intimidation, the Spanish envoy returned in a cold sweat. The unconditional surrender of the Spanish king was unacceptable in any case, but it seemed similar to go to London to form a government-in-exile. The main thing is that now the two German armies are advancing in Spain, and the Spanish Wehrmacht is completely unstoppable.

The navy was completely defeated, the army was repeatedly defeated, and the British were too busy to take care of themselves. Today's Kingdom of Spain was in turmoil for a while. It was suggested to the king that he might want to go to the Cuban colony to avoid the Germans for a while. When Napoleon gained power, he was much more fierce than the Germans now, and it still disappeared.

Just when the King of Spain was considering going to Cuba to eat sugar cane, bad news came from the Cuban colony. The Americans, in the name of liberating Cuba, declared war on Spain. By the time the Americans' declaration of war arrived at the King of Spain, the U.S. Marines and the First Division had landed in Cuba. The Spanish navy in Cuba was also swept away by the U.S. Navy.

The Americans have long been greedy for Germany to kill cattle for the New Year, but they don't dare to offend too much John Bull in the United States, which is strong in the navy. It's just that the Bilisters Bull Navy is old-fashioned, and the Americans, who have already got a modern navy from Japan, looked at the comparison of strength and the international situation, and then brazenly declared war on Spain.

Of course, the Americans absolutely did not mean to touch the Spanish mainland in Europe, and it was enough to have a piece of Cuba to grow sugar cane, cocoa, rubber, coffee, coconuts, tobacco, and some cattle. Moreover, there were enough black slaves in the Spanish colony of Cuba, and it was just a change of owner, so this land would definitely be sold for a good price.

This news was a blessing and a curse for the Spaniards. In fact, falling into the well is also the mainstream of this era, once the skin of Tongzhi Zhongxing in the Qing Dynasty was picked up by the Sino-Japanese War, followed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, you occupy Jiaozhou, I occupy Weihai, he wants the three eastern provinces, this wants the three southwestern provinces, and that wants the seven provinces of the Yangtze River, and the whole has come to carve up China.

Although the Chinese Tonghd also persuaded these colonial powers to do so, in the end it will only cause tens of millions of Chinese united by some kind of patriotism or nationalism to fight with them and these colonists, but sometimes even state behavior is not something that one or two sane people can persuade.

It's like a bunch of people grabbing sheep dung balls on the street, although you don't know what the use of snatching back sheep dung balls is when you pass by, but when you see so many people grabbing them, you can't help but grab them. Moreover, the aggression, colonization, and plundering of the state are much more valuable than useless balls of sheep dung.

At that time, many good things were snatched away by foreigners, for example, the research results of the domestic Western Xia Wen were concentrated in Russia and published by the Russians. Because the world's only dictionary in Tangut was taken away by Russian robbers.

The King of Spain thought about it, and the conditions of the Germans were absolutely unacceptable. As for the Spanish Defense Forces, they could not be counted on, and Cuba was again worried by the United States. Now there's only one way to London.

The prepared Spanish royal family was escorted to London by British warships with a great deal of wealth. The flight of the Spanish king and a large number of nobles made the already demoralized Spanish army think that they had been abandoned. At this point, the Spanish army was defeated, and a large number of soldiers and officers fled the army or surrendered directly to the Germans on the opposite side.

The Germans conquered France in five weeks, the Netherlands in two and a half weeks, and Spain in four weeks. So far, except for some satellite countries such as Portugal, the Germans are the dominant family in Western Europe, and there are no major powers in Western Europe except Germany.

Portugal was the quickest to see the wind and rudder, and before the defeat of Spain, they began to make frequent contact with Germany and China. The subtext is that anything is negotiable. We are so talkative in Portugal.

In order to avoid a rebuilding of the port of Lisbon, China and Germany had no intention of destroying Portugal. Today, the main source of income for the Portuguese is the maritime business, from Asia and Africa to Europe. From South America to Europe.

For example, in the past, Britain used Lisbon as a garrison for the Royal Navy, but now after the defeat of the British Royal Navy in the Mediterranean, Portugal has used Lisbon as a garrison for the Japanese Navy and the German Navy.

As for Portugal itself, it has long been seen that a weak country wants a navy, but it is harmful to itself. It's better to hug someone's thighs with thick thighs, so that they can be invincible, and as for reputation, can that thing be used as money or as food. For a small and weak country like the Portuguese, it is necessary to be realistic in order to avoid disasters.

When the Portuguese were strong, they also occupied most of South America, and there were colonies around the world. But it's the same, I can't hold it. The overseas colonies are coming from the Dutch today, the French tomorrow, the Spanish and the British the day after tomorrow. Except for the rented Macau (which was not attacked by the Europa brothers because the sovereignty was not its own), the rest of the colonies were almost thrown away. Since then, Portugal has also had a new positioning for itself - we are not the material of the empire on which the sun never sets, let's live honestly.

After establishing anchorages in Spain and Lisbon, the Japanese and German navies began to fight together, continuing to oppress the British Royal Navy's range and radius of movement in the Atlantic.

In the continuous launching and maintenance of subway ships, the level of shipbuilding and repair of the British has risen to a big level. But it's useless. Now not only is the Pacific Ocean not a place for the British Royal Navy to go, but there are also many people in the Indian Ocean who are demanding to give it up -- in order to keep the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean at their doorstep, there is a strong demand that the Royal Navy have a final battle against the combined Japanese and German navies.

However, the British Royal Navy and the Japanese Navy and the German Navy have been fighting for so many years, and they really do not know the bottom line.

What's more, South India and South Africa are still in the hands of the British, so there is no reason not to send a navy to guard the routes. Even if they knew that they would have to face the encirclement and interception of the German Navy and the Japanese Navy, that was what the British Royal Navy was destined to face. This is fate, the decline of one naval power is always accompanied by the rise of another.
