At the beginning of the Tang-Western War, there were still some hard-liner political forces advocating war with the Tang Dynasty, fighting for the rights and interests of Spain, and not giving an inch in the American colonies. www.biquge.info But at this point, there were basically no politicians or aristocrats in Spain who were willing to continue the war. The Tang Dynasty achieved comprehensive superiority on all fronts, and almost all of the colonies that Spain had operated for 200 years were lost. Not only that, but there was also a strong impact in Spain, and the out-of-stock of Datang commodities caused an imbalance between supply and demand in the Spanish market, which further expanded and led to economic chaos. After the Tang naval fleet blockaded the Spanish coast and completely blocked the Spanish trade, Spain's domestic economy was hit hard, and almost every merchant and nobleman was seriously damaged in this war.

Although the Tang-Western War lasted for half a year, in addition to the naval battle, the Tang Army really started to attack Spain only in the first three months of the war, that is, during these three months, the Tang Republic seized Spain's Mexico, the Philippines and Central America, and then instigated the Revolutionary Party forces in South America to carry out a revolution and completely overthrow Spain's colonial rule in South America.

This war completely shocked the European powers, before that, they all had a relatively superficial understanding of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, established on the desolate west coast of North America, the population is not large, with relatively excellent knowledge and technology, and good military strength. But after the outbreak of the war, no one thought that Spain would collapse in such a short period of time, it was completely an army of different eras, and Datang used a subtle strategy and tactical coordination to complete its tactical goals. The Spanish army was still fighting with older military concepts. Inability to adapt to the situation. So in the war. Spain's armies lacked effective links with each other, fought on their own, and did not have a complete strategic deployment, let alone adequate logistical support and support from home. They were led by the nose by the Tang Army from beginning to end

During the war, the Tang News Agency and other relevant Datang media broadcast the entire course of the war to major countries and regions around the world at a very fast speed. From Hawaii and Guwei in the Tang Dynasty's overseas territories to Donghui in South Asia, the citizens of the Tang Dynasty were able to learn from the newspapers about their country's progress in the war. It's the same with the Europeans, they can't imagine that the Don army will be so fast. Occupy most of Spain in three months. At one time, some people thought that this was a propaganda trick by the Tang people, deliberately distorting the report in order to put pressure on Spain. However, it was only after various photographs appeared on the newspaper pages, and the relationship about the war brought about by the return of people to Europe through various difficult means, that the Europeans had to accept such a reality.

This reality made them extremely frightened, because the military strength of Datang was enough to crush any European country. After the Tangxi War, a political voice emerged in Europe that the European countries should unite against the Tang Republic because of their status as a white superior nation and their dominance over the world. There is some evidence to suggest. Behind these voices is the shadow of Freemasonry.

But whatever the other factors, the Spaniards were the hardest. As the direct participants in this war, they are no longer just vomiting blood, it is even spitting out the internal organs, and by the way, even cutting off their hands and feet, giving them a breath left. Even so, Carlos IV actively asked his courtiers to mediate on his behalf to put an end to a boring, shameless war that would cause more trouble for Spain in the future.

After Chu Bai put forward three conditions from France to Spain, Carlos IV discussed a little with his wife, Princess Louisa, and his favorite ministers, and did not discuss them extensively with all his ministers, let alone leave it to his own people to decide, but separately decided to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and seek an armistice. Of course, even if they discuss, there will be no other changes, the current Spain is basically a desperate situation, Datang is equivalent to choking Spain's throat, Spain can be stubborn and willful, but in the end it is Spain itself that pays the price. Datang didn't care what armistice treaty it signed with Spain, anyway, the land should be occupied, and even established a local government and began to manage it. Spain needs to stop the blockade, pick up the loss of its colonies, and settle the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have fled the Americas with their hearts to Spain.

Fortunately, Spain did not lose all its colonies in the war, and the Tang Dynasty deliberately left Dominica and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean islands, and Spain's colonies in North Africa were not touched. Spain was at least able to run their colonies in the Caribbean, housing Spaniards who had fled from Mexico to Chile.

Almost as fast as possible, Godoy, Spain's favorite minister in charge of the government, personally set off from Madrid to Paris, on behalf of the Spanish royal family and the Kingdom of Spain, to prepare to sign an armistice with the Tang Republic.

This is arguably the most humiliating peace treaty that Spain has signed since its founding. Although in the Seven Years' War before, Spain had to cede Florida in exchange for occupied Cuba from the British, and it was definitely nothing new for Spain to cede various places, but this time Spain ceded the entire Philippines (excluding Mindanao) plus New Spain, of course, in addition to these lands directly acquired by the Tang Dynasty, there are also the entire colonies of South America, New Grenada, Peru and La Plata, which were controlled by those local revolutionaries, and Spain's losses were absolutely huge.

Under the mediation and auspices of the French, Godoy, in his capacity as Spanish minister, met with Chu Bai, the ambassador for European affairs of the Tang Dynasty. Godoy's face did not have any resentment or cold look, but with a flattering and even flattering smile on his face, he took the initiative to bow to Chu Bai with Tang etiquette, first bowed to Chu Bai, then shook hands with Chu Bai, and said respectfully: "I am finally fortunate to meet you, Your Excellency Chu Bai." ”

Chu Bai still maintained a faint sense of distance, nodded, and only greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Godoy." So, let's start signing the contract. ”

Godoy didn't seem to notice Chu Bai's coldness, he was still full of enthusiasm, nodded again and again, and said: "Okay, okay, just do what Your Excellency Chu Bai said, and we will start signing the contract." (To be continued.) )
