"I knew they wouldn't give up!"

After hearing the report of the black eunuch and the joint arrival of the French and Spanish ambassadors, Abdo . Sultan Rahman sighed and muttered quietly.

For the arrival of the ambassadors of France and Spain, Abdou . Rahman wasn't much surprised.

In his opinion, it would be a real surprise if France and Spain had not done anything after learning of the agreement between the Kingdom of Morocco and Britain.

It's just that the French ambassador and the Spanish ambassador were able to come to the palace at the same time to ask for the guilt, which is indeed beyond Abdou. Rahman's anticipation.

Could it be that the French Empire and the Kingdom of Spain are ready to unite to put pressure on me?

Abdu. Rahman couldn't help but think to himself, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Stand in Abdu. Seeing that His Majesty the Sultan had not spoken for a long time, the black eunuch beside Sultan Rahman hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the two ambassadors of France and Spain are still waiting outside the palace!" ”

Reacted to Abdu. Sultan Rahman replied to the black eunuch: "Well...... Oh...... Then let both ambassadors come over! Don't keep them waiting! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The black eunuch bowed in response, then turned to leave.

The black eunuch who had left the Sultan's study walked down the corridor and soon arrived at the gate of the palace in Rabat.

The French and Spanish ambassadors, who had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a while, had a smile on their faces when they saw the black eunuch appear.

The French ambassador immediately opened his mouth and asked the black eunuch: "Abdo. Would His Majesty Sultan Rahman be willing to meet with us? ”

The black eunuch smiled slightly, and replied unhurriedly to the French ambassador and the Spanish ambassador in French: "Two ambassadors, Your Majesty has agreed to meet with you!"

Please come with me! ”

Led by the black eunuchs, the French ambassador and the Spanish ambassador arrived at Abdo Ander. Rahman's study.

Pushing open the door of the study, you can see Abdu. Sultan Rahman was sitting at his desk, pretending to look through documents.

Abdul heard the movement at the door. Sultan Rahman raised his head, looked at the French and Spanish ambassadors at the door, and then got up and said to the French and Spanish ambassadors: "Two ambassadors, why do you have time to come together!" Come on in! ”

In Abdu. At Rahman's invitation, France sat down on the sofa at his desk with the Spanish ambassador.

Settle the French with the Spanish ambassador of Abdou. Rahman gave another order to the black eunuch: "Let someone make a pot of tea!" ”

"Yes!" The black eunuch nodded, turned around and walked out of the study again.

"You don't have to make tea!" The French ambassador shook his head and refused, "The purpose of our visit this time is not to come to the Rabat palace to ask for a sip of water!" ”

"That's right!" The Spanish ambassador on the side also spoke to Abdou. Rahman repeated: "Your Majesty, the purpose of our visit this time is not simply to come to you for tea!

All red tape can be omitted! ”

"Since the two ambassadors don't want to drink tea, then I won't force it!

"Abdu. Rahman was not angry at the blatant rejection of the French and Spanish ambassadors, and with a smile on his face, he asked the two ambassadors slowly: "What do you want to do when you come to me today?" ”

"Your Majesty the Sultan, I have heard that two months ago you signed a mutually beneficial and friendly agreement with the Kingdom of Britain...... Don't know if there's such a thing? The French used a slightly questioning tone to Abdo . Rahman asked.

Abdu. Rahman's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly and said coldly to the French ambassador: "There is indeed such a thing! How? What treaty our Kingdom of Morocco wants to sign, we still have to report to the French Empire! ”

Facing Abdu. Rahman's "resistance", the French ambassador still had a smile on his face, and his tone was also not the slightest bit angry: "Your Majesty the Sultan, what treaty signed by the Principality of Morocco naturally does not need to be reported to France!" Nor do we have the right to dictate to a sovereign nation! ”

At this point, the French ambassador paused, and then changed his words: "But what I want to say is that the security of one country cannot be built on the basis of harming the security of another!"

Such an act is undoubtedly provoking an unnecessary conflict! ”

"Harm the security of other countries?" Abdu. Rahman immediately refuted the French ambassador and said: "Your Excellency, I would like to ask which country's security has been undermined by the signing of the agreement between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Kingdom of Britain!"

Your homeland, France, is well separated from us by the Mediterranean, and Spain is separated from us by the Strait of Gibraltar!

We have not compromised the security of any country! ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you've forgotten! Algeria is now part of the French Empire! The French ambassador also sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Speaking of Algeria, Abdou. Sultan Rahman's heart could not help but feel a wave of anger, and he recalled once again the scene when France had brazenly crossed the border between Algeria and the Kingdom of Morocco to arrest people, and remembered the memories of the French Empire's attack on the territory of the Kingdom of Morocco under a clumsy pretext.

Memories full of humiliation made Abdul . Rahman strengthened his conviction against the extortion of the French Empire and the Kingdom of Spain.

In Abdu. Sultan Rahman saw that the Kingdom of Morocco had now been protected by the Kingdom of Britain, the most powerful state in all of Europe, so he did not need to look at the faces of Lancey and Spain.

"I confess that Algeria is indeed the territory of the French Empire, but we, the Kingdom of Morocco, have never compromised the security of Algeria!

On the contrary, the French Empire has been threatening the border security of the Kingdom of Morocco, and your country has crossed the border for more than ten years since the occupation of Algeria!

And every time your excuses for invasion are so cookie-cutter! "Abdu. Rahman angrily replied to the French ambassador.

"So would your country rather sell itself to the Kingdom of Britain than make enemies of the French Empire?" The French ambassador asked coldly.

"Your Excellency, I repeat! I don't want to be an enemy of the great French Empire! "Abdu. Rahman said to the French ambassador in an excited tone, "Our purpose in doing this is just to have the ability to protect ourselves!" ”

"The means by which the Kingdom of Morocco protects itself is a threat to the security of France!" The French ambassador clings to the issue of "border security".

[PS: In fact, the "Anglo-Moroccan Treaty" does not involve the issue of the Anglo-Moroccan military alliance, and the "border security" in the mouth of the French ambassador cannot be established.

And Abdu. The reason why Sultan Rahman followed the line of thought of the French ambassador was entirely because he himself believed that the Kingdom of Morocco would be able to guarantee the security of the Kingdom of Morocco as long as the Kingdom of Morocco ceded its economic interests to the Kingdom of Britain! 】

"The Treaty of Anglo-Morocco between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Kingdom of Britain not only threatens the security of the French border, but also ignores the economic interests of France and Spain in the Kingdom of Morocco!

It has caused a lot of trouble for our investment in the Kingdom of Morocco! The Spanish ambassador also spoke solemnly to Abdou. Sultan Rahman said: "So we hope that the Kingdom of Morocco can rein in the precipice and recognize the reality as soon as possible!"

Don't go further and further down the wrong path! ”

Hearing the words of the Spanish ambassador, Abdou. Sultan Rahman smiled angrily: "Mr. Ambassador, I would like to ask what is the right path and what is the wrong path!"

Is it the wrong way to oppose France and Spain? ”

"Of course not!" Although the Spanish ambassador was tempted to say that this was the case, he responded to Abdou with duplicity. Rahman: "The right path depends not only on France and Spain, but also on other countries!"

Only a path that has been unanimously approved by other countries is the right path! ”

"The Kingdom of Morocco has gained the opinion of the Kingdom of Britain, and we are now on the right path!" Abdu. Rahman counter-adversarially marched the first army.

"Your Majesty, since you don't want to talk to us calmly, then we have nothing to say!" Corner of the eye Abdu. Rahman's refusal to give in to the French ambassador decided to end the conversation, but he nevertheless gave a message to Abdou Francis al-Rahman. Rahman left a window, "But I still hope that you will think carefully about the situation that your country is facing now!"

Blindly refusing will not do your country any good!

And do you really think that the Kingdom of Britain will fight France and Spain to the end for you! ”

With that, the French ambassador stood up and said hello to Abdou. Sultan Rahman resigned, and the Spanish ambassador also took advantage of the situation to ask Abdou. Rahman said goodbye.

Abdou, who watched the departure of the French and Spanish ambassadors. Rahman suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, he did not know what the last words of the French ambassador meant, and he was also unsure whether the Kingdom of Britain would guarantee the security of the Kingdom of Morocco as they had promised.

So, shortly after the departure of the French and Spanish ambassadors, Abdou . Sultan Rahman sent to the British Embassy to invite the British Ambassador to Morocco into the palace and gave the British Ambassador to Morocco a detailed account of his dialogue with the French and Spanish Ambassadors.

After listening to the test, the British ambassador to Morocco said with confidence that the Kingdom of Britain will do its utmost to ensure the security of the Kingdom of Morocco.

But the British ambassador to Morocco did not know that a crisis was brewing to upend British rule in India.
