Napoleon III asked in a deep voice: "Duke of Gramont, what do you mean......"

"Your Majesty, we can't do it on our own, but what if we join forces with England again? Two countries don't work, so what about we add Spain? Not yet, we can still involve the Netherlands and Austria, hehe, as long as we exert joint pressure, we don't need to fight each other, as long as we slip the battleship artillery around the coast of China, the Qing government will have to surrender obediently! ”

"Hmm!"

Napoleon III's eyes lit up, nodded incessantly, and replied: "Well said, well said, several powerful countries will act together, and when the time comes, send a mixed fleet to defend Tianjin, haha, that is the second Opium War!" ”

Grammon laughed darkly: "Your Majesty, and in this matter, we can completely hide behind and let Spain take the lead with Japan!" In particular, Japan suffered more than 4,000 casualties, such losses are really too great, and China still does not declare war, which completely violates international practice, and defends the world's condemnation. When the time comes, we will occupy the moral high ground and attack it en masse, and China will absolutely not be able to parry! ”

"Good, good! Gramon, leave this matter to you, do what you think, I give you enough power! ”

Napoleon laughed heartily and patted Gramont on the shoulder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Gramont turned around and walked away, such a thing must be agreed with England, without the support of England, France alone could not be a country.

Madrid, Spain.

Queen Isabella II of Spain sat on the sofa, with Prime Minister Ramón standing aside.

"Ramon, what's going on? Our military advisers are only giving military guidance to the Japanese army in the Japanese army, and they are not Japanese troops, the Chinese are so barbaric that they directly cut off Gonzalez's head, it is too cruel, this matter, we must make the strongest protest to China, asking them to compensate us to the greatest extent! ”

Isabella II was dissatisfied.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have already begun to deal with this matter, but our country does not have a minister or consulate in China, and it is still quite troublesome to contact the Chinese government now......"

"Will these be problems?"

Isabella II complained, "What I need now is that, as Prime Minister, you have to come up with a solution, this has made a huge impact among the people, and if we don't show our attitude as soon as possible, they will take to the streets!" ”

The corners of Ramon's mouth brought out a wry smile, where is the matter as simple as Her Majesty thinks? That's China! It's not a small country, although China's national strength is now weakened and defeated by England twice in a row, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, where is it so easy to deal with? The Chinese government is notoriously conservative, arrogant, and arrogant, and will never agree to the Spanish government's claims!

So what to do? Fight? Bringing China to its knees through war? That's a joke! From Spain to China, a distance of nearly 10,000 kilometers, sending more than a dozen warships and a few thousand people, there is no way to help China, sending tens of thousands of troops? Or even more? That is not something that Spain can afford, after all, the current Spain is not the Spain of 200 years ago.

"Your Majesty, in this matter, I think we should adopt a joint strategy, we can't bring China to its knees with our own strength alone, we need to find helpers!"

"Helper?"

Isabella II asked, "Looking for what helper?" Could it be that our forces in the Philippines are not enough to subdue the backward China? ”

"Your Majesty, it's far away, China has hundreds of thousands of troops alone, and we only have 10,000 troops in the Philippines, how can we be the opponent of the Chinese army? A few years ago, the British and French forces invaded China, and it used tens of thousands of troops, and that was because China's elite troops were in the south to suppress bandits......

Isabella II said hatefully: "Then you say, what should we do now?" Where to find help? ”

Before Ramon could speak, Foreign Secretary Rimmons walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Ramon, England and France have sent us telegrams!" ”

Ramon smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, no, our helper is here, we don't need to look for it!" ”

Isabella II asked: "Are you sure, Ramon, that the British and the French are our helpers?" ”

"Of course!"

Duke Ramon said with a smile: "Your Majesty, not only do we want the Chinese to compensate, England and France have been staring at this piece of fat meat in China for quite a long time, and they can't wait to bite every day, and now that the opportunity has finally come, of course they will not give up such an opportunity, dear Rimmons, are you saying that I am right?" ”

Rimmons smiled: "Duke Ramon, you are right, the British Prime Minister Duke Bill personally sent a telegram, inviting us to jointly send troops to put pressure on China, demanding that China compensate for the losses of Britain, France, Spain and Japan, apologize to the four countries, and at the same time, invite us to send representatives to set up a legation and go to China together to meet with the Chinese emperor to protest!" ”

The Duke of Ramon nodded, and then asked, "What about France?" Bonaparte, that guy isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either! ”

Rimons continued: "The French Foreign Minister Gramont has also made an invitation to us, inviting us to jointly send troops and demand that China compensate for the corresponding losses, and if China does not agree, then directly declare war on China and force them to surrender by force!" And ......"

Isabella II asked: "And what?" Say it......"

"And Britain and France have jointly issued invitations to other European countries, asking them to join in putting pressure on China to force China to bother! This time, I am afraid that the Chinese government will not be able to escape justice, and it will not declare war on Japan, causing huge casualties and losses to Japan, and causing casualties among our European citizens. Even a big country like China can't do the same! ”

"Haha, Rimmons, immediately reply to the Duke of Bit and the Duke of Gramont, our Kingdom of Spain is willing to work with England and France to preside over world justice and send troops to China! Order, appoint the Governor of the Philippines, Numan Air, as the plenipotentiary to be in charge of Chinese affairs, and transfer a small fleet from the Philippines, plus 5,000 infantry, to prepare to join England and France, and send troops together! ”
