Chapter 436: Jose is in charge

The ever-changing situation in the Iberian Peninsula attracts the attention of the world, and the people who have lived in this land for generations live in the company of death, and the real players are the powers that have nothing to do with it.

The so-called human civilization is never restricting oneself, but the requirements of others. When interests conflict, morality and conscience are only deceptions, while plunder and hegemony are the pursuit of the great powers. With the collapse of the upper echelons of Spain's left-wing rebels, the eyes of the world are once again focused on it.

Because of Spain's unique and sensitive geographical location, the interests of various countries are intertwined. As a player who is not yet proficient in the hegemonic routine, the Americans wisely withdrew from the game, so that it was not offended by all parties and left itself a wide way back.

When the head of the National Reserve Stresemann arrived in Madrid, he was warmly welcomed by Jose, not only because he was a man of international etiquette, but more importantly, he brought a sincere greeting from German President Erik Adrian. This gesture, which is equal in symbolism and in practical significance, would undoubtedly force European countries to recognize the legitimacy of the Jose government in the first place.

The war was not over yet, and Jose needed a legal identity to command the nation, which is why Eric agreed to his early declaration of a federal state.

Under the planning of Stresemann, the capital Madrid is lit up and full of joy. People swept away the haze of the war of the past and showed a rare smile. After so many years of civil war, Spain should have its own self-government, which is also the need and voice of the general public.

On 15 April, accompanied by a powerful supporter, Francisco Franco, José walked into Plaza Mayor to the sound of the remnants of the rebels, accompanied by the rumbling of artillery to purge the remnants of the rebels, and loudly proclaimed the establishment of the Spanish Federal State to the world.

Next, Francisco Franco read out the statutes of the country in Plaza Mayor, where the envoys gathered from various countries, and appointed José as interim president of the country, with domestic elections to be held after March. At the same time, Franco called on the people of the country to unite and resolutely drive out the remnants of the left-wing Catholic Party and save the whole of war-torn Spain.

Originally, many people chose the Moncloa Palace as the place where the acting president would make his declaration, but Stresemann did not support this suggestion and made a statement. Thus, the Plaza Mayor finally witnessed this historical moment.

With the proclamation of the Plaza Mayor, Germany became the first European country to recognize the federal government of the Nethers, and in the afternoon of the same day, Stresemann presented the credentials of the official establishment of diplomatic relations with the Dutch government on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany.

The tide of history rolls forward and is unstoppable. The British were not surprised by this result, but it was too late. Once upon a time, France was a great threat to the balance of power in Europe, and in order to strangle this "scourge" in the cradle, the British used countless gold to form one anti-French alliance after another, but now, not only France, but even Spain and Portugal have begun to wake up.

Subsequently, European countries successively recognized the legitimacy of the federal government of Jose and established diplomatic relations on an equal footing.

José's first acting presidential decree was to resolutely and completely eliminate the Catholic rebels, who had been fighting Spain for many years, and to nominate Francisco Franco to act as the country's vice president, with full authority to eliminate the remnants of the anti-government.

At this time, the remnants of the rebels were at the end of their power, surrounded by the Seven-Nation Coalition and the Spanish Government Corps in a complex area of several tens of square kilometers. However, there have been many exchanges of fire between the two sides and there have been casualties on both sides, which shows that it will take time for José to become a safe, stable, and prosperous federal state.

The British government has always been dismissive of the anti-government forces of the Spanish Catholic Party, and it has no favor, because Germany has lost its choice after coming to the aid of the Jose government. The British Commonwealth, which had always been willing to play against Germany, reluctantly sided with the Catholic rebels and became a negative example of the spurning of European countries.

The news of José's announcement of the establishment of the Spanish federal government returned to London on the same day, and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain only leisurely drank afternoon tea and did not express any opinion. The staff at 10 Chinatown often saw Mr. Prime Minister furious, but this time they were surprised to find that Chamberlain was unusually calm and even stayed out of the way.

If the British helped the Catholics only in the first place, then Jose's federal government was naturally Chamberlain's first choice for establishing diplomatic relations, but things were far from simple. John Bull's temper was strange, but he was also very good-looking, and if Jose had not offered an invitation, Chamberlain would not have put down his frame and approached Spain.

April 15 is a very important day for many countries, first of all, Spain is the biggest beneficiary, and Germany's help has undoubtedly added a lot of points to its international image, and even other European allies have also been stained with a lot of light, especially the participants of the seven-nation alliance. Although they have paid a great price to each other, they both think it is worth it, at least, to have their own role on the world stage.

In addition to Britain, which has remained silent, the Soviet Union was the first country to refuse to recognize the legitimacy of the federal government of Jose. In order to cater to the government's taste, many domestic media also published a lot of negative articles about the federal government of Jose.

On April 16, the head of the National Reserve, Stresemann, returned to Berlin and gave Eric's serious report on the establishment of the Spanish federal government, and brought back sincere greetings from President Jose and Vice President Francisco Franco.

In addition, José expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the D-3 tank production line presented by President Eric, was willing to issue a license for the mining of non-ferrous metals in Spain to Germany, and welcomed President Eric's visit to Spain at a convenient time. At the same time, Spain applied to join the European Military Alliance.

This was Eric's second great victory since the Balkans, and it was also a major initiative for Germany to successfully defuse the French threat.

From then on, there was a powerful Spain to the south of France, and once Germany and France were at odds, France had to consider the existence of Spain. As an important peninsular country in the south of France, Spain has suffered from French aggression and humiliation many times in its history, and the Jose government will also follow closely behind Germany.

On April 16, the Soviet Union sent an official note to the Spanish Chargé d'Affaires in Moscow, demanding that José release all Soviet "neutrals" during the Spanish Civil War, but Jose sternly refused. On the same day, the Soviet side expelled all Spanish chargé d'affaires and consular officers working in the USSR and closed the Spanish chargé d'affaires in Moscow. And threatenedly declared that the USSR was already in a state of hostility with the Jose government.

On the evening of the 16th, all Spanish staff in Moscow and their accompanying families were transferred to Lithuania and then diverted to Berlin on a plane that President Eric personally cared for.

When the plane of the Spanish officials and their families arrived at the airport in the western suburbs of Berlin, Foreign Minister Konstantin von Nwright and the special car of the Presidential Guard of the Federal Government were already waiting on the tarmac.

Suddenly, all the Spanish staff members abroad were deeply moved and burst into tears like children who had been wronged when they returned home.

Eric ceremoniously received the returning Spanish envoys at the Hansa Felt Palace and warmly entertained them at the Presidential Palace. At this time, Sylna, who had returned to China to preside over the work of the Eric Group, also rushed back to Berlin and, as the mother of the nation, led the families of Spanish diplomats to visit the scenic spots and well-known enterprises in the Berlin area.

At this moment, the remnants of the Catholic armed forces still hide in the gulf between the capital Madrid and Valladolid, and the Seven-Nation Coalition and the Spanish government forces have gradually approached the nest of the rebels after a series of bitter battles.

In the face of the pressing government army, the remnants of the Catholic Party did not wait for death, but fought in deep ditches and high fortifications.
