"The empire has only these three conditions. If the Kingdom of Spain is willing to accept it, then the conflict can be over. If the Kingdom of Spain refuses, then, unfortunately, I can only say that this time the negotiations broke down. All the consequences will be borne by the Kingdom of Spain! After Vahitt finished speaking, he looked at the American ambassador and the Spanish ambassador.

The American ambassador frowned, and the request of the Germans came as a surprise to the American side.

The Spanish ambassador's face was even pale, and in his opinion, the Germans were clearly like a lion's mouth! If the Germans do not accept it, there is a high risk that the conflict will turn into a real war. It is even possible that the scale of the war will increase. That would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Kingdom of Spain.

The Spanish ambassador had no choice but to look at the American ambassador for help, hoping that the American ambassador would help them find a way.

"Ahem! Your Excellency Foreign Secretary, the conditions of your country seem to be too harsh. The dispute between Germany and Spain originated in Gibraltar, and Spain could agree to Germany's lease of Gibraltar, so that the conflict would be over. This is very advantageous for both Germany and Spain. The U.S. ambassador said.

Vahit glanced at the American ambassador and said: "The lease of Gibraltar was a request made by the empire before the conflict. However, the Kingdom of Spain did not hesitate to refuse the Empire's request, leaving the Empire in disgrace. Now that the conflict has broken out, is it possible to end the war if you want to meet the Empire's previous demands? ”

Obviously, what Vahitt is talking about is still a robber theory. However, now that Germany had an absolute advantage, failure to agree to the Germans' terms led to the breakdown of negotiations and the outbreak of war again. For Spain, such consequences would be unbearable.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, I need to ask the country whether Gibraltar can be ceded to the German Empire. However, I don't think His Majesty will agree to the last two. A billion marks is an astronomical amount for the Kingdom of Spain, and we simply can't come up with that much money. In addition, the Balearic Islands are an inherent territory of the Kingdom of Spain, which could never be ceded by the Kingdom of Spain. The Spanish ambassador said.

After losing the war, the Spaniards knew very well that they would not be able to keep Gibraltar. If the Germans were a little more talkative, Spain could keep Gibraltar and then lease Gibraltar at a very low price. If the Germans had taken a tougher attitude, they would have ceded Gibraltar to Germany.

The Spaniards did not feel sorry for this, after all, for more than two hundred years, they did not really manage Gibraltar at all, nor did they receive any benefits from it, and Gibraltar has always been occupied by the British as a military base. Now, it's just a change to the Germans, it's not a big deal.

But the reparations of up to one billion marks, and the fact that the Germans had to claim the Balearic Islands by an inch, was something that the Spaniards could not accept. After all, Spain's finances are not in a good place in the first place, and a billion marks are enough for their finances to collapse. And the Balearic Islands are the mainland that Spain attaches great importance to, so it is naturally impossible to cede them.

Vahit shook his head: "The empire is in the conflict, but it has consumed a lot of ammunition and other war materials. The casualties of the Reich were not small, and these were to be compensated. So, a billion marks is not much. As for the Balearic Islands, they were occupied by the Roman, Vandal, Byzantine Empire, Arabs, and Aragonese Empires. The Balearic Islands were governed by the Mahoca Empire until 1344, when the entire empire was annexed by Spain. At the beginning of the 18th century, it was occupied by the British. It became a Spanish province in 1833. Therefore, the Spaniards have not ruled for a long time, and they are not at all your own territory. Use those islands to compensate for the loss of the Empire. Quelling the anger of the empire is undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing. If the Kingdom of Spain does not come to its senses, you will pay a terrible loss. The majesty of the empire, no country can provoke. Anyone and country who dares to provoke the empire will pay a heavy price for it! ”

"Two days! You only have two days to think about it. If the Kingdom of Spain was not able to accept the Empire's terms by then, it would mean that the negotiations had broken down. Moreover, there will never be a chance to restart peace talks. After Washitt finished speaking, he left the U.S. Embassy directly. He did not do this as if he was here to negotiate, but to inform the outcome.

Seeing Vasit leave, the Spanish ambassador's face was bloodless. He knew that this time the Germans were serious. If the Germans were to be rejected, the consequences would probably be very serious.

The face of the American ambassador was also very ugly, and under the condition that the United States intervened, the Germans dared to put forward such harsh conditions, and obviously did not take the United States into account!

"What do we do now?" The Spanish ambassador asked with a sad face.

"Report back to China!" This was stated by the US ambassador.

The Germans obviously did not take the United States seriously, and made the United States ineffective in this matter. If Spain does not accede to Germany's demands, then I am afraid that the Germans will really expand the scale of the war and intensify their offensive against Spain. When the time comes, Spain will not be able to resist it.

"Okay, these problems are all left to the country to have a headache!" This was stated by the Ambassador of Spain.

He had no way to deal with the Germans' hardline attitude. Perhaps the only thing that can be done is to pray to God that Spain will survive this crisis safely.

When the Spanish ambassador sent back the terms offered by the Germans, Alfonso XIII's face turned green.

"Oh God! The Germans have a lot of appetite! Not only will they want Gibraltar, but at the same time they will ask us to pay a billion marks in compensation and even cede the Balearic Islands to them! Do they treat us as a defeated country that can be slaughtered at will? Alfonso XIII was furious.

The military ministers of the Kingdom of Spain bowed their heads and remained silent. The conditions offered by the German government were not what they expected. However, this is not incomprehensible. Germany is the world's most powerful country, and it is only natural that Spain offended Germany and allowed it to be slaughtered.
