In the end, the American government of Britain, France and Spain had no good way, but strongly asked the United States to recall those mercenaries abroad, but this matter, even the three countries knew that it was impossible, and the federal government of the United States of America did not have such a binding force on the American people, as long as people did not violate American law, even Lincoln knelt and begged others, and people could still ignore it!

Since you can't deal with the current United States, you can only look back at Nanyang, the current Kingdom of Spain is unlucky, originally thought of attacking China proper, to be able to follow Britain and France to get some benefits, but I didn't expect to lose troops and lose generals, and in the end, even the colonies in Nanyang are now in danger, stealing chickens and rice!

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that most of Spain's colonies are concentrated in the Americas, and there are some in Africa, but in Asia, there is only one colony in the Philippines, and now the colony is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Spain itself, how to rescue? Even if the fleet reached the Philippines as quickly as possible, it would take twenty days, and the Spanish garrison was completely isolated!

In desperation, Spain can only ask the British and French armies for help now, and ask the two countries to send troops to help defend the Philippines and drive out the Chinese mercenaries!

It's just that now I want Britain and France to make a move, but it's not so cheap, why should people? Moreover, the military pressure brought by the mercenary corps is not only for Spain, but also threatens Malaysia and the Indochina Peninsula, in case of provoking the mercenary corps and people turn around and head eastward, it will be a big trouble, absolutely a big trouble, that is two divisions of infantry plus a medium fleet, although it cannot be compared with the Asian fleet of the British Empire, but it is not weak!

The most important thing is that now not only has there been military problems in Nanyang, but in China, the current four-nation coalition army has been defeated and retreated one after another, and nearly half of the troops of the four countries have been damaged, and they are completely out of breath when they are suppressed by the Lu army led by Guo Ye!

Dundas, Bazin, and Morence have jointly sent a message asking for help, asking the three countries to continue to send troops to support, otherwise, I am afraid that the potato in hand will fly!

The two treaties, taken together, are 100 million taels of silver, which is converted into pounds, which is 15 million pounds, almost 70% of the British Empire's annual naval military expenditure, which is a huge wealth, even a rich empire like the British Empire is reluctant to spit out this piece of meat!

If the army supports the Philippines, there is no doubt that the troops will be pinned down in the South Seas, but what about the Four-Nation Coalition in the Gyeonggi area of China itself?

Britain and France categorically rejected the request of the Kingdom of Spain and demanded that Spain continue to increase its troops in accordance with the request for more troops from the front. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Prime Minister of Spain, Duke Ramon, was so angry that he wanted to pull us into Spain and asked us to send troops together, but now we are unlucky, you did not send troops to rescue, and asked us to continue to increase our troops, specially, where do we get our troops to send? Now the Philippines still needs to urgently increase troops, if it is too late, I am afraid that the entire Philippines will change hands!

"Duke Gramont, Duke Bit, I am seriously dissatisfied with your request, when you asked us to send troops together, but what you said was better than singing, saying that the Chinese are vulnerable, now that we are in trouble, you did not send troops, and continued to increase troops to China? Do you want us Spain to give up the Philippines? You must know that you give all the indemnities of the Qing government to Spain, which is definitely not as important as a Philippines, if your two countries do not support the Philippines, then our kingdom can only order the Spanish army to withdraw from China and return to the Philippines, as for the victory or defeat of your country in China, no matter what we do! ”

Duke Ramon said angrily.

"Duke Ramon, I hope you can know that the losses of our two countries are much greater than yours, since the beginning of the war, it has been Britain and France that have charged ahead, and Spain has never been allowed to rush to the front, and our two countries have lost at least more than 10,000 elites, what about you? At this time, you have to retreat, when you say that you can get huge benefits, why don't you hesitate? Everything in the world has a price, there is no gain without paying, and even God will not give it to you! ”

Duke Bit rebuked angrily.

"Yes, Duke Bit is right, Duke Ramon, at this time, you withdraw your troops back to the Philippines, it is a betrayal of the Four-Power Alliance, and you have to bear the price of betrayal!"

Duke Gramont shouted.

"Enough!"

Duke Ramon said angrily, "What you said is good, do you feel that your Malaysia, Laos, and Cambodia have not been invaded?" Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back! Once we lose the Philippines, our Kingdom of Spain will not even have a foothold in Asia, and we will never allow the Philippines to fall! ”

The Duke of Bit and the Duke of Gramont glanced at each other, and they also fell into a dilemma, to support the Philippines, then the Chinese coalition would have no way to support, and the British and French garrisons in Asia could not support the simultaneous war of the two battlefields; Supporting the Chinese mainland battlefield means completely tearing the face with the Spanish kingdom, and when the time comes, the Spanish army will withdraw, and the defeat of the Chinese battlefield will be certain.

"Duke Ramon, your country has been operating in the Philippines for decades, compared to the indigenous Filipino rule of your country is still welcome, your country can recruit indigenous people in the Philippines, form an army, and fight against the Chinese mercenary corps, you must know that they are in the Philippines, there are no follow-up soldiers, there are not enough ammunition reserves, there are no people familiar with the geographical environment as guides, they are at a disadvantage everywhere, as long as your country can stabilize the situation, it is okay, we can send warships to provide a large number of arms and materials for your country, Support your country against the mercenaries, and at the same time contain the mercenaries in the Philippines, we in France and the British Empire will continue to want to increase our troops in China, strive to defeat the resistance of Guo Yelu's army, and completely suppress them! ”

Duke Glenmon replied.

"Yes, Duke Ramon only needs a month, a month, after we increase our troops, we can end the war in China, and then wave our troops south to support your country's battle in the Philippines, when the time comes, it will still be a combination of four countries, this mercenary army will definitely not be able to stop our attack, and ensure that the Philippines will return to Zhao!"

Bit also hurriedly made reassurances to Duke Ramon to appease Duke Ramon's restlessness.

Duke Ramon also fell into deep thought, now even if he sends reinforcements to the Philippines, it is difficult to stabilize the situation, and he can only go one way to the dark, hoping that the three kingdoms can defeat Guo Ye and return in time.
