Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 338: Tsarist Russia’s Far East, divided into four countries

"What, everyone is attacking their own territory." When Franco heard this, he felt very absurd, but after thinking about it, he felt it was very reasonable.

"Think about it, if the four countries conquered the territory together, then who would be willing to take out the best land and give it to others in the end. So, we will divide the territory based on the fruits of labor. Hey, if you want, just Go get it yourself, but the casualties will be a bit heavy."

"However, as far as I know, most of the Far East in Russia are desolate and sparsely populated places. Except for the places in the south, such as those close to the Qing Dynasty, these places are where the most fertile land is located with many rivers in the Far East. , so that is what everyone hopes for most. In this case, I think the eyes of the four countries have already set their sights there."

Franco can imagine that the area where the Amur River exists is definitely what the four countries want to win most. Therefore, he believes that that is what the four countries want most. Therefore, the four countries may face difficulties on this issue. The decision may even cause huge disputes of interest.

However, the matter is obviously not something he can understand, and it is not something Compus can control after he truly understands it. Because the people in Spain who really know the inside story of this matter are just those few people. As for him, although he is the Minister of Army, don't forget that there are two big bosses in the military above him, so, Some secrets are still held by the people above, not him.

But he still knew what he needed to know. For example, he could answer these speculations of Franco: "Wrong. Completely wrong. On this issue, your thoughts have deviated from something. For example, the thoughts of the head of state are just in your opinion." In terms of thinking, these are just your own imagination, because the result of the matter is. In fact, we have completely solved the problem of dividing the spoils. And everyone is very satisfied. "

"What, is this possible?" Franco asked in disbelief, satisfied with the spoils? This result really surprised him. Is this really possible?

"There is nothing wrong with it. Don't forget where the land under our feet came from. Sometimes, some difficulties are not really as difficult as they appear on the surface, because they have multi-faceted solutions. Places like the Philippines and Cuba Exchanging Western Australia and New Zealand is a very typical special case." Comps said in a teaching tone, which made the other people a little surprised, and they couldn't see it at this time. The Spanish Minister of War attached great importance to Franco. If they knew that [Franco]'s "background" was actually more than this, but that their king Alfonso XIII ordered Compos to "take care of", I absolutely believe that they would be even more shocked by then .

Franco's heart moved. He is definitely not stupid, on the contrary. His thinking was very sensitive. From the beginning to the present, he guessed something from the impatient tone of Lieutenant General Compos. At the same time, he also understood his situation and took a secret look. From the look of surprise on Nickerson, the boss of his boss's boss, Franco saw his opportunity. It was his life's purpose to seize every opportunity to climb up. Therefore, although he did not know the reason, in his heart The desire has already driven him to think about the next job issue. Of course, he wouldn't ask directly. That would be too inconsiderate. He could only make insinuations and let the other party say it.

"Well, Marshal, since it's a mission, I think I'd better find out where I will be arranged next."

"Sure enough, it's straightforward enough. Okay, let me just talk about the territorial division of our four countries. First of all, after everyone's discussion, the Primorsky Territory, except for the initial doubts of the United Kingdom, the four countries unanimously agreed that this place will allow To the German Reich.”

"What, the German Empire, I thought it was us. Why did His Majesty give them this strategic location?" Many people in Primorsky Krai may not know this, but in this fertile land, there is Vladyros Toka is Vladivostok, the most important [port] in the Russian Far East. Who would be willing to give up so easily? But now, as Comps said, Britain agreed after hesitating, and Spain and Spain Japan obviously showed no dissatisfaction, which made Franco have to wonder if he had heard wrongly.

But what Compus said next made him dispel his doubts and feel relieved.

Compus paused: "It is true that the Primorsky Territory is a very fertile land and a strategic location. However, it also has certain limitations. In fact, our king also has the idea that the country wants to go there. But in the end, we gave up, because one of the largest armies in the Russian Far East is stationed there, and because it is too close to Japan and the Qing Dynasty, it is easy for a war to get into trouble, so we chose It's understandable to give up there.

After that, the British acquired part of the Khabarovsk Oblast south of the city of Lybar III.

Japan will get the third territory from the north of Lebar to the west of the border of Magadan State to Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Kingdom under the Russian flag. After that, it will be divided into Spanish territories. We will get the northernmost Magadan State in the Far East. , Chukotka Autonomous Region. In addition, there is an area of ​​30,000 square kilometers south of the mouth of the southern bank of the Almur River and the west of the Tatar Strait, centered on the town [Lazarev].

This is the final solution for the four countries to obtain a solution to Russia this time. "

Except for Lazarev, the others are all in extremely cold places in the north. As a captain, according to the current Spanish military rank system, a captain can lead up to 200 soldiers, so what tasks should he have? After all, what can such a limited force do? He knew he still didn't have a clue.

However, Comps today seemed to be the source of his surprise, and this time was no exception. Comps brought him another surprise, however. This time there should be a surprise added. Because Comps’s original words were: First of all, congratulations. Franco, because after our detailed consideration, we finally decided that in view of your performance in the previous wars, if you agree to accept our new mission, then you will be promoted again, this time if nothing happens. If so, our military department would actually be within the inspection period. If you perform well and pass the inspection within six months of accepting the mission, you will receive the rank of Major and the position of [Major]. The mission this time is that if we capture the enclave on the south bank of the Amur River estuary and the western part of the Tatar Strait, we will give you a reinforced battalion with the same 1,000 people as the current Japanese military infantry battalion. . If in a few years. If you can still perform well, the position of lieutenant colonel will be yours by then. "

When talking about the latter, several other major generals showed envy. After the climb of these moving averages, they knew it. How difficult it is to move up in these positions, now each of them is over 35 years old, and even the other two of the four of them are over 40. It can be said that if you really want to ask them what their biggest wish is now. Then if they remove the modesty and leave the directness behind, then they will definitely say that they can be promoted to lieutenant general. This is their biggest wish, but what they don’t know is that in the future, all of them will be Spanish five-star generals with great prestige, even Franco.

London. Inside Buckingham Palace.

"Prime Minister, if we join forces with the German Empire to deal with Russia, will this cause strong dissatisfaction in Russia and lead to tensions in Northern Europe?"

George V was a little worried. It must be said that there was indeed a hidden worry. You must know that Northern Europe has always been Britain's backyard to prevent other countries from moving south. As long as Northern Europe is stable, Britain will have no worries about the consequences. This shows how much Britain attaches importance to this. It is precisely because of this that Britain has been dissatisfied with the German Empire and Russia's interference in Northern Europe for many years, and the two countries have also They did not dare to expand their power excessively in Northern Europe for fear of arousing the anger of the British. It is precisely because of this that Spain was able to gain a presence in Britain's backyard as an outsider. In fact, seriously speaking, the reason why Edward VII did not react to Spain's actions was actually because the existence of Spain could relieve the pressure brought by the German Empire and the Russian Empire on Britain.

There is the current balance, but if Britain now joins the Tao in plundering Russian land, can Nicholas II, who is often violent, accept it? George V was very suspicious of this. As for the consequences of the outbreak, it seems that the most injured among the four countries should be the United Kingdom. Next is the German Empire. However, it is not a big deal for the German Empire to have too many debts. After all, the German Empire has completely fallen out with Russia. At this time, it will not take an additional debt to heart. However, Britain was still an ally with Russia before, although it was a loose alliance. That kind of thing, but after all, it is better than being an enemy. If Britain joins it now, the final result will be that the relationship between the two countries will be miserable.

"Such a price seems a bit exorbitant."

Asquith, as an old man in British politics, naturally sees these clearly, but he also has other concerns and worries about other issues.

"Well, your Majesty, haven't you noticed?" Seeing George V's serious questioning expression, Asquith sighed and said: "I originally thought that Spain really wanted to bring the three countries together this time. However, I had figured out the territorial issue before. I have to admire that Alfonso XIII is worthy of the title of a generational hero. No wonder Her Majesty Queen Victoria praised him when he was still young. To put it bluntly, this man really makes us unable to look down upon him at all."

George V was shocked. He looked at Asquith in surprise. The latter had always given him the impression that he took everything lightly and took nothing seriously. There is an easy way to solve it, but now it seems that his praise of Alfonso XIII shows nothing but his solemn mood.

So he couldn't help but ask: "Does Spain have other conspiracies?"
