In fact, the Moroccans had long been unbearable with the French, and the arrival of the French was not only to eliminate the pirates, but also to seize the Moroccan market.

Morocco is not only a pirate, but also a strong maritime team. However, first because of the robbery of Austrian merchant ships, it was indiscriminately attacked by its navy.

Later, in the name of fighting piracy, the French again sent warships to cruise in the Moroccan sea and sank a large number of merchant ships.

At the same time, the establishment of supply points and trading posts in its coastal areas monopolized Morocco's foreign trade.

When the new Sultan of Morocco, Abd Rahman, fell to Algeria, he knew that sooner or later the French would attack his country.

To this end, Abd did something that no Moroccan ruler in history had done, taking the initiative to accept Algerian refugees, and to finance the construction of houses for them and set aside land for them to live.

Many of the Algerian refugees have higher education (lower secondary education) and special skills, many of whom have successfully integrated into Moroccan society and have even become officials.

Abd knew what the French wanted, but with Morocco's strength at this time, it was not enough to fight the French. So he pretended to be indifferent to the actions of the French, not only strengthened trade with them, but even hired the French as instructors in his army.

But in reality Morocco bought a large number of weapons from France and trained an army of 40,000 men, including 8,000 cavalry alone.

At the same time, Abd also spent money to bribe French experts, set up factories in Morocco, and made weapons to secretly support the Algerians in the anti-French war.

When he learned that the French supply points had been attacked, he felt that some tribe in his own country, or the Algerians who had fled, had too many people in his country who had a blood feud with the French.

Abd originally hoped to spend some money to get by, but he didn't expect the French official to open his mouth and ask for 1 million francs and 20 beautiful women.

The sultan of a dignified country could only ask for a few more days, and then a letter made him murderous.

Over the next week, Abd swept away all French strongholds along the Moroccan coast, hunting down the French, killing more than 800 people.

When the news reached Paris, Guizot's face turned pale and he angrily rebuked the colonial minister, Alban Roussan.

"Damn rubbish! First of all, Côte d'Ivoire! Now it's Morocco again! What the hell is going on? Why did those damned barbarians, suddenly become so fearless! Why did the former model chieftain Abd lead his army to rebel! ”

"It's not him, Abd said it was the pirates," Arban Russan retorted in a whisper.

"Damn fools! Idiot! Do you believe whatever the barbarian says? Use your pig brain, and don't force me to sober you up with my boots. It was clear that they killed people and threw the blame on the pirates. After so many years, those filthy bedbugs have long since died, how can they have such a strong strength to kill our great French soldiers? ”

"But the Austrians had just been attacked by pirates not long ago, and they had lost two merchant ships, and they had made a point to warn us of pirates."

Alban was pushed down by Kizo before he could finish his words, he was a civilized man, but the recent events really drove him crazy.

First, the Austrian Empire inexplicably embarked on the road of colonization, and then the two young men with strong blood actually knew how to endure and did not attack the British.

Just when Guizo thought that the two teenagers were going to go all the way down the colonial road, their colonial journey came to an abrupt end.

It wasn't over, but he couldn't believe that a succession of indigenous attacks had begun, first in Côte d'Ivoire, then in Benin, and now even in Morocco.

Moreover, Morocco's military strength was much stronger than that of the indigenous countries, with an army of 40,000 men, and the proximity of Algeria, which was in chaos, he had to think carefully.

Alban, an idiot, could no longer be this colonial minister, and no matter how much bribes he sent, he couldn't let Guizot betray France.

"The mess in Morocco must be cleaned up, otherwise not to mention your position as colonial minister, even you yourself will spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Alban left dejectedly, when Marshal Soult entered, looking radiant, and even humming the "La Marseillaise".

"My lord, this song is not appropriate." Guizot reminded that after all, it is now the Orleans dynasty, and although it is a constitutional monarchy, it does not mean that the king really has no rights.

"Happy, haha! I'm a little carried away, but don't tell King Philip. Soult said.

"What is it that makes you so happy? Did Miss Ophelie give you a baby? ”

The 71-year-old Marshal Sirte has a 17-year-old lover, and the French cabinet knows about it, but apart from that, Guizot really can't think of anything that could make this half-cut old man so carried away.

"Ahem, Mr. Kizot, don't joke, the love between me and Miss Ophelie is pure." Soult coughed twice solemnly.

"Look at this, and your sadness will be gone."

Soult handed Guizo a confidential telegram.

"It's classified, can I see it?" Kizo asked.

"If I could, I would like to show everyone in France, it's fantastic. Long live France!." Soult was a little incoherent.

Guizot really couldn't think of anything to be excited about, could it be that Napoleon Bonaparte was resurrected?

But when he saw the contents of the telegram, his eyes widened immediately, and then tears flowed uncontrollably. The Carlos War, which lasted seven years, finally came to an end, and the Spanish army won.

When Isabel II reached the age of sixteen, she would marry Louis Philippe's youngest son, and they would then rule Spain together.

By that time, France will once again make the world tremble.

Before I knew it, Kizo's breathing became heavy, the news was too good, and all the years of hard work had finally paid off.

Moreover, after the end of the Spanish Civil War, France could invest more manpower and material resources in its overseas colonies, and with the Spanish market and colonies, it only took a generation for France to catch up with or even surpass Britain.

The Spanish royal family owes France a huge debt at this time, and takes the opportunity to use trade agreements to tie the former to the chariot of the latter, and a giant will appear in Western Europe, and then Belgium and Portugal will be included in a Western European customs union, which is definitely stronger and more hegemonic than the German customs union of Austria and Prussia!

After the end of the Spanish Civil War, the number of troops sent to North Africa will be doubled, not to mention Morocco and Algeria, and even Tunisia.

After taking the whole of North Africa, France also had to regain what it had lost in the Americas, and with the influence of Spain, it was not impossible to make the whole of America the backyard of France.
