The death of Queen Isabella II's husband, Francisco I, was hanged, intimidating a large number of opponents of the government in the Kingdom of Spain. Those guys who had always talked about the relationship between the Chinese Empire and the Kingdom of Spain disappeared for a while. The pro-Chinese ministers completely seized power in the Kingdom of Spain.

Although, Queen Isabella II's ruthlessness has been criticized by the entire Western world. However, it was beneficial to preserve the unity of the Kingdom of Spain. Since then, the countries of the entire Eurasian military alliance have strengthened their control over their domestic affairs to avoid similar incidents.

Britain and France were not reconciled to the defeat of the coup. They began to carry out the preparatory plan.

The leader of the coup d'état in Madrid, Don. Prince Carlos, after many hardships, finally escaped from the Kingdom of Spain, crossed the Pyrenees and fled into France. In order to cover his escape, the Carlos party sacrificed a lot of people. Don fleeing the Kingdom of Spain. Prince Carlos was very angry in his heart, and the failure of this coup d'état caused even the Carlos party to suffer heavy losses. Even if he returned to the Kingdom of Spain again, he probably wouldn't be able to compete for power with Queen Isabella II. In addition, it was later learned that Queen Isabella II had hanged Francisco I, which made Don even more . Prince Carlos was terrified. Even Francisco I was hanged, and if he fell into the hands of Queen Isabella II, he would surely be dead.

In early March 1851, the British and French Foreign Secretaries met secretly in Calais, in northern France, to discuss the situation in Spain. Originally. They're not for Don. There is a great deal of confidence in Prince Carlos's coup d'état, and if the coup is successful, it will be for Britain and France. There are great benefits. However, unexpectedly, the Kingdom of Spain had been prepared for a long time, and the coup d'état was exterminated just at the beginning.

"Your Excellency Count Granville, it seems that it is not so easy for us to overthrow the Kingdom of Spain!" Count Valewski frowned, after the last incident. The Kingdom of Spain will certainly strengthen its defenses. If they want to succeed, it's even more impossible.

"Your Excellency Count Valewski, it is true. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos's strength is too weak. Isabella II was supported by the Chinese. The armies and ministers of the Kingdom of Spain supported her, and it was not so easy to overthrow her rule. However, we can't just give up. You should keep trying! The Earl of Granville continued. The situation is now increasingly unfavorable to the North Atlantic military alliance. If this continues, it will not work, and we must find a way to reverse the unfavorable situation. The overthrow of the Spanish kingdom was an important solution.

After the Kingdom of Sardinia joined the Eurasian military alliance, the attitude of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Turkish empires also seemed to change substantially. This would be a disaster for Britain and France, as well as for the entire North Atlantic military alliance.

Count Valewski nodded, right now, France is under the most pressure. Once the war began. They will be besieged by the kingdoms of Prussia, Sardinia, Spain and Belgium. Although the strength of France is not weak, but. Nor is it an opponent of so many powerful countries. The current French Empire, after all, cannot be compared with the French Empire during the reign of Napoleon the Great.

"Your Excellency the Earl of Granville, do you think it is necessary for us to carry out the next plan? If France sent troops into the Kingdom of Spain, openly supporting the Don. If Prince Carlos establishes a state, I'm afraid this will immediately lead to war! "Count Valewski was a little nervous. The Treaty of the Asia-Europe Military Alliance also stipulates that if any member state is attacked, the other member states will do their utmost to help, including by means of warfare. When the time comes, France will definitely be attacked by several other countries.

"Your Excellency, Count Valewski, now, we have no choice. Support Don. Prince Carlos, able to access the threat of the Kingdom of Spain to France. Of course, we can also use this to test the Asia-Europe military alliance. If they attack immediately, then something is wrong and we can retreat immediately. However, if the Asia-Europe military alliance drags its way, we can really split the Kingdom of Spain! The Earl of Granville said with a smile. What he meant was undoubtedly to plan for both. As soon as the Eurasian military alliance takes a hard line, the troops that have entered the Kingdom of Spain will immediately withdraw. If the Asian-European military alliance drags its feet or has a weak attitude, then it can directly split the Spanish kingdom or even destroy it. This is very advantageous for the North Atlantic Military Alliance.

Count Valewski hesitated, but nodded, this is indeed a good idea.

"Your Excellency the Earl of Granville, I need to report to Your Majesty." Count Valevsky said. Invading the Kingdom of Spain and challenging the bottom line of the TAsia-Europe military alliance is a major event, and a little carelessness may lead to the outbreak of a great war. Therefore, the consent of the French Emperor Napoleon III was required.

"Yes, Your Excellency. I believe that His Majesty Napoleon III will not let go of this opportunity! The Earl of Granville said with a smile.

After returning to Paris, Count Valewski reported directly to His Majesty Napoleon III at the Élysée Palace on the British side. This is undoubtedly an adventure for France. However, if successful, it will be useful to break the current deadlock. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable for France.

Napoleon III immediately convened the French government to discuss the matter. Although, as everyone knows, it was the British who used France as a gunman. But is there any other way for France? After getting on the British thief ship, France had no chance to disembark. Neither the French nor the French could have imagined that the strength of the Asia-Europe military alliance would be so strong.

Eventually, after three days of debate, Napoleon III decided to send troops to invade the Kingdom of Spain in support of Don. Prince Carlos established himself in the northern part of the Kingdom of Spain. However, the French government proposed that while the French* army began to move, the British navy should also act to blockade the coastline of the Kingdom of Spain, echoing the actions of the French army. In this regard, the British side agreed.

Next, the British and French people and Don. Prince Carlos had a secret conversation in a city in the south of France. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos officially asked England and France to help him seize the throne of the Kingdom of Spain. If successful, Don. The country established by Prince Carlos will unconditionally join the North Atlantic Military Alliance against the Asia-Europe Military Alliance.

At this time, in order to defend against France, about half of the land forces deployed by the Kingdom of Spain were deployed in the northern border, south of the Pyrenees.

The Spanish Army consisted of 14 infantry corps and one Janissary. Of these armies, six infantry corps were deployed in the southern United States, and the other eight were in the country.

The eastern part of the Pyrenees was a key area of defense for the Kingdom of Spain, where three infantry corps were deployed. And in the western part of the Pyrenees there was only one infantry corps. Everyone thought that if France were to invade the Kingdom of Spain, it would definitely choose from the eastern Pyrenees. After all, the eastern part of the country has well-developed road transportation facilities, which is more conducive to the movement of large troops.

On March 18, 1851, the French Army sent four infantry divisions to surprisingly cross the Pyrenees from the west, crushing two infantry brigades of the Spanish Army and capturing the area west of the Pyrenees and south of the Bay of Biscay. Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos proclaimed the establishment of the Orthodox Kingdom of Spain there. and claimed that the French* army had entered the Kingdom of Spain at his behest and was not an invasion of the Kingdom of Spain.

At about the same time, the French government also announced that France did not agree with Queen Isabella II's rule over the Kingdom of Spain, believing that Isabella II had stolen the succession to the Spanish throne by despicable means. Prince Carlos was the rightful ruler of the Kingdom of Spain. The French Empire accepted the Don. Invitation of Prince Carlos to enter the Kingdom of Spain.

Tang Dynasty. Prince Carlos temporarily designated the capital of the kingdom as the small coastal city of Santander. At the same time, the vast number of Spanish people were called upon to rise up against the rule of Queen Isabella II and return the Kingdom of Spain to orthodoxy.

When the French* army entered the Kingdom of Spain, the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet approached the eastern coast of the Kingdom of Spain, and the British Navy's Home Fleet approached the southwest coast of the Kingdom of Spain, leaving the Spanish Navy's navy unable to go north to suppress the rebellion.

The French* army marched directly into the Kingdom of Spain, which caused a stir throughout the world. Despite their high-sounding reasons, this was undoubtedly an invasion of the Kingdom of Spain. Many people are speculating whether the war between the Asia-Europe military alliance and the North Atlantic military alliance will break out in an all-out way because of this!

"Damn! What did the army do to eat, and it was actually invaded by the French. Duke Maria, send reinforcements at once, we need to drive the French out of our land anyway! Queen Isabella II was furious. Although she expected that Britain and France would not stop there, she still did not expect that Britain and France would be so bold.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have already sent two infantry corps to reinforce me. However, we don't have enough troops and need to be mobilized immediately! "Simon. Duke Maria said. The strength of the Kingdom of Spain was somewhat insufficient. After the reinforcements of the two infantry corps were drawn, only two infantry corps and the Praetorian Guard to defend the capital were left in the country. (To be continued......)
