Chapter 617: Accident! What a surprise!
The Pacific Empire Volunteer Army, under the leadership of MacArthur, landed in Lisbon very smoothly, and the result was ......
It should be said that the king of Portugal at that time, that is, Carlos I, was still a little confused, that is, why did your Pacific Empire have to go ashore with me?
But however, they still received the volunteers of the Pacific Empire very warmly in line with the bottom line that everyone is an ally, but soon, when Carlos I saw his uncle and grandfather, it was simply ......
It's really happy, Portugal was taken down like this!
This thing, mainly because Portugal is too small, the capital Lisbon, which is a seaport city, is on the side, and it also borrowed the identity of an ally, which is really ......
When the British heard the news, the attitude of the whole British became very interesting.
A lot of people are scolding, but what about this official......
In Salisbury's heart, he really gave the Pacific Empire a thumbs up for this move.
Of course, this is mainly from another point of view, that is, the perspective of the Pacific Empire itself, and this perspective of the whole war situation.
Let's put it this way, in terms of Portugal's geographical location, that is, to the west of Spain, and Spain is now a neutral country, Portugal is an Entente country, but however, Portugal's strength is too poor to compare with Spain, so now that a powerful force has taken Portugal, what can Spain do? Can they still turn to Germany and Austria-Hungary?
Obviously, even Alfonso XIII of Spain was stupid. He didn't dare do that. No matter how much he tried to keep Gibraltar in his own hands. I don't dare.
The original Portuguese forces were not enough, they only sent hundreds of people to help in this big war, to be honest, it was really a drop in the bucket, but it also exposed their strength, it was too bad!
Portugal was also awesome and powerful back then, and it was all in our China to build a place. But in fact, it was really a concession-type place, and the Ming Dynasty government itself transferred the sovereignty of that place, hey~
But now, Portugal is really not good, it's like a weak woman and all around are SE wolves, and if it's okay, let the family come once......
When Carlos I had just succeeded to the throne, the British came once, really the bears, to withdraw Portugal from Angola and Mozambique. Isn't it just the British who want it?
And now, the Pacific Empire has come. And what they did......
More direct!
Took Portugal, and did it...... Well, it's a complete manifestation of hegemony, but at least it's in the past.
Yes, let Pedro II regain his throne!
And at this point in time, there is another potential reason, and that is that Carlos I, he is a Saxon. Coburg. The king of the Gotha dynasty, which originated in Germany.
In other words, this Portugal may betray our Entente!
In fact, the British themselves wanted to do this, and of course they knew that if they could occupy Portugal, would their own Gibraltar still be unstable?
However, the British have no excuses, they really don't, they don't have Pedro II.
Therefore, in this incident, anyone can see that the Pacific Empire is a hegemon and a bully, but on the side of the Entente, except for some voices from the people who are scolding, the rest, whether it is the parliament or the royal family, everyone has expressed their acquiescence.
What the parliament didn't say, as long as the Pacific Empire could join the European theater, then everything would be easy to say. As for the royal family, anyway, the Pacific Empire is not trying to kill that Carlos I, just a different king.
It should be said that this thing is unreasonable and unreasonable, but it happened to her, and everyone said that it happened well!
It is indeed very good, it is beneficial to everyone, especially for the Pacific Empire, if you occupy Portugal, then you will have a foothold in Europe, you can't think of this kind of thing before, you used to engage in oil in Romania, and you still need Austro-Hungarian to help.
With such a point, that's great, really good!
However, sometimes, people are not as good as heaven......
"Pedro II is dead!"
"What? This guy has only been on the throne for a few days, huh? ”
"But he's dead!"
That's right, Pedro II, the old man, is really dead. And the cause of death ...... After getting back to the throne, I was so happy, this guy drank two bottles of red wine that night, and found two girls, hey~
This old man is already 70 years old, and his body is usually okay, but he really can't stand such a toss.
To say, this incident is really very unexpected, no one expected that this old man was very happy and sad...... But in fact, if it weren't for Luo Yaoxiang, this old man would have died a long time ago!
In fact, Li Mengyang himself didn't know that in the original history, Pedro II only lived to the end of 1891, and there was only one reason, this guy ate too well!
In the original history, Pedro II went to France, and France is very powerful, it is the best way to cook food in the white world, so this Pedro II is naturally open.
But now, though, the old emperor lives in the Pacific Empire, albeit in the American region, but wants to eat French food?
Delmonique's steak is good, absolutely authentic French, but the average person can't afford to eat it.
No way, the agricultural output in the United States is very powerful, but if you want to talk about food,...... Hey, come to our Chinese restaurant, Chinese food is delicious!
Obviously, Pedro II was not used to eating Chinese food, and the food here in the United States was indeed not to his liking, so he didn't eat too well, so he lived a few more years.
Before this Pedro II came to the American region, he was a big fat man, and his belly was big, and the people in this family had obesity genes, and Carlos I, when he succeeded to the throne, he was really tall and looked heroic, but now, ......
After only a few years as king, this guy has added four yards to the waistband of his trousers!
Sometimes, fate is a very strange thing, this Pedro II died early, he died at this time, it's simply ......
The Pacific Empire is really enough to carry a little, so what to do?
"Appointment! MacArthur is the Governor of Portugal! ”
After getting the news, Li Mengyang was also depressed, to say that this Pedro II died, then his side's military action against Portugal basically lost its legitimacy.
However, Li Mengyang simply didn't want to lose his face, and directly let MacArthur be the governor, which is telling the people of the world that Lao Tzu wants to treat Portugal as our colony!
Yes, that's that obvious, Governor, and that's basically a message to the world, so what will be the reaction of the European powers?
"All this time, Portugal really needed a governor, because the reign of Carlos I was simply terrible!"
"The great Emperor of the Pacific Empire, he always makes wise and decisive decisions!"
"It is enviable that the Portuguese people will be led forward by a general from the Pacific Empire......"
This...... It's shameless!
But this is the reaction of the European powers, and there are so many articles that speak for the Pacific Empire.
Well, as far as the news media is concerned, that's really......
You've got to make this man comfortable, don't you?
How else can people fight for you?
So, let's focus on the big picture.
To be honest, Li Mengyang didn't expect this result at all, really, he was ready to be squirted, he was really out of the way, you can scold if you like, anyway, Lao Tzu has been sprayed a lot, and he doesn't care about more at all.
However, there is really nothing at all, and many officials are still praising Li Mengyang, saying that this guy has what he is, a king who surpasses everything, a philosopher king, and an emperor who has no emperor in human history......
It seems that the Europeans are not stupid, they know that they are begging us to send troops.
Then, the current situation is already like this, and the white people are singing praises to us, the yellow emperor, without discipline, so we can't go too far.
So......
"Attack the Allies!!"
Li Mengyang was in Washington, and issued this historic order, so of course, this order would be transmitted to Paris, France, because it was the former command headquarters of the Pacific Imperial Volunteer Army, but now the situation is that MacArthur is in Portugal, and this guy has just become the governor.
Definitely, don't think about it, the Portuguese will definitely resist, of course, as far as Portugal's strength, just the spirit of resistance of those people, forget it, really, one of the five European pig countries in the future, lazy to death will still resist.
As long as those British and French don't intervene in the affairs of Portugal, then there will be no problem, but MacArthur will not be able to come out for a while, so how can he fight on the frontal battlefield in France?
Who will lead the troops?
Paris is not far from Verdunne, so as soon as the army is ordered by the emperor, then it can immediately move to the front, and the whole preparation is done, and the general who leads the army ......
"You idiot, wipe your shoes, such sloppy shoes, you are dead!"
"What? I think my shoes can look in the mirror, but that's not okay!? ”
"Idiot, don't you see? I've helped you see that there's a dot of a centimeter of mud on your shoes, do you know? Such a big piece of dirt can make you an idiot run ten laps! ”
"Isn't it?"
"Not? You're waiting......"
In the garrison of the Imperial Volunteer Army on the outskirts of Paris, two soldiers were discussing the issue of leather shoes, and at this time.
"Comrades! Welcome Joseph. General Pershing came to our battalion to inspect the work! ”
"Welcome, welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”
Joseph. Pershing, with a solid step and a solemn face...... Look at everyone's leather shoes! (To be continued.) )
