"The Spaniards have brought humiliation upon themselves!"

"What a shame! I thought they could look like real warriors! ”

"The American Empire has shown itself to be strong to Europe!"

As soon as the Spanish-American War ended in such a very unexpected situation, the European side reacted immediately, basically calling the Spaniards stupid!

There is also a bit of truth, this war is really too speechless, just two battles, so fast, it's unimaginable, you Spaniards can't hold out a little longer?

You know, this is the same for many people in Europe, because they still want to scold the emperor of the American Empire, and now you Spaniards are behaving like this, isn't that very arrogant to the emperor?

We'll scold in the future, this ...... Anyway, there will be a lot of unhappiness!

The young and vigorous Emperor Alfonso XII also felt very ashamed, but he couldn't help it now, Spain's most powerful one at the moment was that Campos, if Campos died in Cuba, then Spain would probably fall into chaos again, and it would not be easy to do.

Alfonso XII may be strong-blooded, but his wife Isabella II is still very politically savvy, after all, this fat woman has been in power for decades, and it is not easy to keep her rights under the influence of many parties.

Let's talk!

In September 1876, Paris in France welcomed negotiators from the American Empire and the Spanish Empire......

"Spain must withdraw its power from the Americas! ......" This was the principle that Liszt, the negotiator of the American Empire, adhered to the most.

"We want the American Empire to return Marshal Campos safely......" was the representative of the Spanish side, Antonio. Bender. Castillo's most insistent principle.

Obviously, the two sides have a certain basis for negotiation. It's up to who can convince whom. But not ......

"We can accept the independence of Cuba. But we want to be compensated for something...... "Obviously, the Spaniards also want money.

But though, as the negotiations progressed, time passed......

"What? You, the American Empire, brazenly attacked Luzon during the peace talks!? ”

"Stop! You bastards! How can you do that? ”

This is a very unfaithful practice! I strongly protest! ”

Castillo is still very talented, but all he can do now is protest or something.

That's right, it was during the peace talks that the American Empire sent its own fleet to Luzon!

So what about it......

It's really too domineering!

It's not just Castillo, the Spaniard, who is protesting. Now that the whole of Europe got the news, everyone was very annoyed, because what you American Empire did not do is right, you are negotiating with Spain, how can you fight people again?

"What the American Empire did was very much out of line with international norms! We, the British Empire, strongly condemn it! ”

"The French Republic expresses its strong condemnation! It's breaking the rules! ”

"That, for the practices of the American Empire, we in Austria-Hungary are concerned, concerned about ......"

Obviously, the European powers have turned their guns this time. They began to scold the American Empire, and more of the media was scolding the American Emperor. What the fuck beyond the philosophers, this guy is a treacherous bastard!

Our American Empire is passive again?

"I think a lot of people seem to get one thing wrong, right? The negotiations between our American Empire and the Spanish Empire are about Cuban affairs, right? The main thing is about the safety of General Campos and the soldiers under his command, right? What does this have to do with Luzon? We didn't talk about Luzon good, okay? ……

And the reason why our American Empire sent troops to Luzon was because our navigation in the southern seas of China was threatened! Look, this is a Chinese merchant ship, the Thunder, which was previously the cargo ship of the law-abiding merchants of An An, and before that, it was sunk by the Spanish warships in Luzon! What this cargo ship is loading, that's the goods to be delivered to my empire, rubber! I believe everyone understands that such a serious threat to the safety of free navigation in the southern seas! Such a brutal act! Of course, I, the American Empire, must deliver the strongest blow! ”

This is the counter-speech of the ambassador of the American empire for negotiations, Liszt, a few days later!

To put it simply, it was because a Chinese merchant ship was sunk before, and as for whether the Spaniards did it, this thing was sunk in your waters anyway, so we will take action, and it will be a very tough shot, just like that, what do you like.

The reason why it is so late for so many days is because of the problem of photos, and now Liszt has taken out strong evidence, of course, there are only photos of the sinking of the Thunder Dragon, but this is enough, enough.

Britain and France looked at the situation...... Let's stop talking just yet.

It's simple, they are also doing the rubber business, don't look at the French are exempt from tariffs, but they are not stupid, they can completely mix in and invest, the rubber was transplanted by the British at the beginning, so there are their big interests in this, and now, this route in the southern sea, if it is really unsafe, then this ......

The Thunder? This ship...... I really don't remember it clearly, because there are so many ships over there that it's almost impossible to count!

Britain and France had a small calculation in their hearts at this time, and they decided what they should say, so the tone of the Paris Peace Conference was set.

Of course, judging from the whole attitude, as soon as Britain and France made such a statement, then Austria-Hungary breathed a sigh of relief, you know, Austria-Hungary was not very strong in condemnation before.

In fact, it is clear that Joseph I and Clint . Li I, people are very good now, they are like brothers, so how can they say something unpleasant, but before that, Austria-Hungary must say.

In fact. The position of Austria-Hungary in Europe has always been not low. Just say before. Vienna is known as the capital of Europe, you don't look at the real strength of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but they are really regarded as the boss, they have a nickname, called the Ragdoll Empire...... It's the European version of the 'Paper Tiger'.

For the American Empire, because of the relationship between Grand Duke Maximiliano, the Austro-Hungarian Empire used to be able not to say it, but now it is as good as possible to say it. Therefore, I really don't blame those who disagree with the scolding.

In terms of European public opinion, it is naturally another scolding, directly saying that the American Empire is bullying others, and directly talking about the sunken ship or something, which is simply slander and accusation, maybe they colluded, and there is also scolding these people in power......

It's also normal, the media in Europe has always been this urine, and everyone is used to it. But though, the sinking of this Thunder?

That's it. Of course, there is another story, but that Thunder Dragon is definitely not a big deal, and this ship has also cost money before...... Ahem...... That, why did Li Mengyang make such a play?

Obviously, the so-called navigation safety in the southern seas was inspired by the hope of future generations, which is absolutely true, but the key point is to capture Luzon!

At this time, there is no Philippines, there is really not, if you mention the Philippines, then everyone will be confused, people used to be called the Kingdom of Sulu, SULU, and now it is ruled by the Spaniards, and Li Mengyang has taken a fancy to this piece, the main reason is not because of the decline of Spain at this time.

That's right, ordinary people can see that we only fought for a day and three hours in the entire Spanish-American War, and then Spain was beaten down, so why not take advantage of his illness to kill him?

But in fact, this Spanish-American war is just an opportunity, an opportunity for Li Mengyang to find a little bit of reasonableness and bring his power closer to Asia!

To put it bluntly, the real reason why Li Mengyang is so domineering and forcibly occupies other people's Spanish colonies is because of China, that is, the situation of the Qing Dynasty at this time!

What is the current situation of the Great Qing Kingdom?

Anyway, it's hard to say, it's hard to say, it's really hard to say......

AT THE MOMENT OF THE PARIS PEACE TALKS, SHANGHAI IS ALSO THE PORT OF SONGJIANG FU, WHICH IS OF COURSE QUITE LIVELY, WITH PEOPLE COMING AND GOING.

"This gentleman, is it okay to ride in Allah's car? Allah's legs and feet are pretty fast. ”

"Okay, how much money does it cost to get to the gate?"

"Give me a penny."

"Huh? You're not bullying me as an outsider, are you? ”

"Allah's legs, you can arrive the fastest!"

"Alright, let's go."

This scene is simple and ordinary, it is a matter of hiring a rickshaw by one person, but there is ...... in this A penny?

A bit expensive, right? Could it be that the behavior of stealing customers in this era is also common?

But what's even stranger is that when the rickshaw pulled the gentleman away, it was followed by a few rickshaws, and of course, there were people in their cars......

When the rickshaw arrived at its destination, the gentleman got out of the car and really gave him a penny, but when the gentleman walked into a two-story building, the rickshaw did not leave, and like several other rickshaws, it seemed to be waiting to be pulled alive in the vicinity of the building.

The gentleman entered the small two-story building, which was a hotel with a boss, a waiter, and a guest.

"No. 203, sir, please." The boss didn't ask anything, just took out a key.

"......" The gentleman didn't speak, just nodded, took the key and went upstairs.

I waited on the second floor and opened the door of 203 with a key, but as soon as I walked in, it was strange because there was a person inside!

"Oops! Comrade Fan Yong, I can wait for you! ”

The gentleman was greeted with a hug, and ordinary people must not be frightened?

"Comrade Jiechen, don't come unharmed!" As a result, not only was I not scared, but I was quite happy!

So what is this one......

The one in room 203 is Huang Kuan and Huang Jiechen, and this gentleman is just from the American Empire, Meng Fanyong! (To be continued......)
