The early explosion of the Moroccan crisis, in Yang Feng's view, there is no strangeness, this small broken country can survive to this day, it can be said to be a miracle, although it is not a good place, of course, it should be a good place in North Africa, but it is stuck in the exit of the Mediterranean, Tangier Port and Gibraltar are like two gates, one south and one north, which can be closed at any time This waterway can be called a throat for Europeans.

The British, who have Gibraltar, are not very interested in this place, but they definitely do not like to have another door in the hands of others, although the French have long coveted this country, because this can only be endured, and now they do not need to endure it, and the establishment of the Anglo-French alliance makes it possible for them to do it under the understanding of the British.

With the gradual recovery of the strength of the navy, the 6th Army also came out of the shadow of defeat, and digested well what it learned from the Vietnam War, at this time, the French Republic, has regained the self-confidence of men, and the ambition of foreign expansion inevitably re-emerged, before this, the French government has sent a note to the Sultan of Morocco, asking the Kingdom of Morocco to carry out reforms under the guidance of the French, of course, this reform is very deep, from finance to police power, all aspects must be guided by French advisers, It's basically the same as the twenty-one articles that the Japanese gave to the big head brother in the original history.

If this diplomatic rhetoric is explained in simple terms, it is that France will henceforth be the suzerainty of Morocco.

It's a pity that the British allowed them to annex the Moroccans, but the Germans couldn't allow it, Kaiser Wilhelm himself still thinks about it, he is now just a base away from touching the Mediterranean, what a good position Morocco is, why do you France touch your lips and Morocco becomes your home, just by virtue of your navy that has just gotten rid of third-rate goods? Or with your 6th Army, which was beaten all over the ground by the Chinese?

The British promised you. Did I say yes?

Since this emperor did not agree, then he naturally wanted to say it, but in such an arrogant and direct way to say it, it still caught countries a little off guard, which shows that some of the evaluations of William in history are still very pertinent, at least Emperor Yang will not be so faceless, it can be seen that the world's second largest navy and the powerful 6th Army, which has not been defeated for nearly a million decades, are indeed easy to be invincible.

William's speech in Tangier can be said to add fuel to the fire of the situation in Europe, which was already tense because of Austria-Hungary's ambitions for Serbia. Immediately afterwards, the French government demanded an explanation from the German government for an explanation of Wilhelm's speech. Then what else can be explained, the words of the emperor's majesty have already been said, even if the German government has different ideas, it must support its own emperor, and at this time, the Germans did not pay much attention to France, a water dog that let Yang Feng fight back from Asia, without the support of the British, it is a fart, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at Germany.

Germany, as ambitious as his emperor and fond of expanding territory, sent a note to the French government, which was as proud as his emperor, demanding that France respect the Treaty of Madrid of 1880. The question of Morocco must be referred to the relevant national conferences, equal rights of all countries in Morocco must be guaranteed, Morocco's sovereignty must be respected, and France's unreasonable demands on Morocco. would be seen as a provocation against Germany, and if France continued its attempts to annex Morocco, then Germany did not rule out military means.

At this moment, the fragile little hearts of the French people were once again hurt by Yanzhòng. The arrogant posture of the Germans completely detonated the pent-up hatred of the French in their hearts, and hundreds of thousands of French people in the streets of Paris held up signs and shouted war slogans. Demanding the recapture of Alsace and Lorraine, and even burning German flags and portraits of Wilhelm in public, the French government even mobilized troops to the German-French border on a large scale, and even the two battleships that had just been commissioned sailed out of the port of Toulon, which was completely a desperate gesture.

The Germans were also not to be outdone, hundreds of thousands of troops sharpened their knives on the border, and even began to call up reserve troops, as their allies, Austria-Hungary also entered a state of war readiness, and Britain and Russia also began to mobilize for war, but fortunately Italy has not yet joined, but advised all parties to exercise restraint, which made William very annoyed.

The whole of Europe was completely on the brink of war.

Of course, no one can really fight at this time, everyone understands the way of fiction and reality, the more tense this kind of tension, the more difficult it is to fight, even if you want to fight, the opponent has to relax and then carry out a surprise attack, this kind of saber-rattling is just to build diplomatic momentum, once the diplomatic negotiations break down, then it is really time to go to war.

The most friendly country in Morocco is the United States, but now the United States has been almost forgotten by the powers, and their words are no different from farting in the eyes of the powers, and naturally they have no say in this matter.

There is also an important interest in that place is Spain, Spain still has a large protectorate in the south of Morocco, including the whole of modern Western Sahara and Ivni, of course, it is not a direct colony, but they themselves grabbed it, in addition to the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar in the north, there is also a narrow territory from Hucida to Tetouan to Melilla, so Spain's opinion is very important, after all, the current Spain with two victories against the United States, is also implicitly at the level of a quasi-great power, Although their main forces are in the Americas, they also have a certain say in Europe.

In fact, before that, France had already reached a partition agreement with Spain, France obtained suzerainty over Morocco, Spain received confirmation of their protectorate, and France divided part of its interests in Morocco's reform to Spain.

But now that the Germans are so strongly opposed, the Spanish government is naturally not interested in following France against Germany, and Canovas has to rely on William to help him defend the interests of the Americas, and the sand of Morocco is more important to Spain than the sugar cane of Cuba and the citrus groves of Florida.

Since Russia's withdrawal from the Caribbean Alliance, which has replaced the United States as the number one threat to this alliance, Nikolai did not have the courage to act in the interests of Yang Feng, but he had no concerns about Spain, and now Spain relies on the two big trees of China and Germany to maintain its American colonies, of course, it is impossible to offend William for the French. Since William said that an international conference should be held to solve the problem, then it will be opened, the last time it was held in Madrid, this time it was held in Madrid, and it was invited by the Spanish Prime Minister Canovas, and all countries invited to the conference more than 20 years ago.

Out of politeness, he also invited representatives of China, who can't be beaten with eight poles, and Hamid II, who is now the spiritual leader of the Muslim world, after all, China has actually become Spain's most important friend, although it has not yet risen to the level of an ally, but it is only that Yang Feng is not that interested for the time being.

As for the United States, an important member of the last meeting, where to stay where it is cool, their arrival is not enough to add to the canovas!

"There is only one principle, so that neither of them can get what they want, the French want to control Morocco, this is absolutely not possible, in this matter of principle, we must help William, that is, the sovereignty of Morocco must be respected, but William wants to get involved in Morocco, this is also not good, he is nothing more than worried about the port of Tangier, if we help him on this issue, then the British will definitely not be happy.

So your task is to go and dilute the mud, not to solve the Moroccan problem, but to add a thin layer of iron to the outside of this boiler that is about to explode, and you can study the specific content yourself, and once you have decided on the plan, tell it to the Ottoman and Spanish families, and say this is what I meant, and they will cooperate. Yang Feng said to Tang Shaoyi, the special envoy who was about to go to Madrid.

In fact, up to now, it doesn't matter to him whether Europe fights or not, it's not bad if he can drag it out a little longer, if he can't drag it out, let them fight, after holding it for so long, it's really time to fight.

However, he estimated that he would not be able to fight, although the Germans were arrogant in this matter, but in the final analysis, the French did not take advantage of it, and in 1880 the countries had reached an agreement on the Moroccan question in Madrid, which was basically similar to the high tone sung by Germany now, and the French did this tantamount to the destruction of the treaty of that year.

After receiving the order, Tang Shaoyi took a cruiser to the south, went to Singapore and transferred to the Great White Fleet, and then went to Madrid with this fleet. He had another guest to receive, a real guest, a queen, and of course he would not have any thoughts about this queen, because this queen was almost seventy years old.

The visit was the famous Empress of Austria, Princess Sissi, who was far more famous than her country thanks to Hollywood movies.

Of course, the life of this queen is not the beautiful fairy tale in the movie, in fact, the life of this queen is accompanied by tragedy, not only the husband and wife separated for decades, but also the only son committed suicide, originally in 1888 she herself was in Geneva by the Italian anarchists, just to attract attention with a file assassination, but this history has been rewritten, because at that time she was not in Geneva at all, but in Paris to watch the Count of Monte Cristo.

In the years that followed, the queen spent the rest of her life traveling, continuing her journey around the world, now to China. (To be continued......)
