Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 388 Spain’s intentions: Ethiopia!

Chavez glanced at Trini with some fear. He was worried that the other party would reveal His Majesty's whereabouts, because they had already learned from Chirac that His Majesty would show up in a while, and now was not the time. Therefore, Trini's words made him feel that the other party seemed to be waiting on purpose, or perhaps unintentionally. This made him very conflicted and did not know how to answer, so in such a scene. He could only nodded with a fake smile, and then said, "Go ahead."

Trini wanted this kind of effect, and thought to himself: If you are a little bit of a fool, and you still want to play tricks on me, I will kill you.

A reporter asked: "I wonder what Mr. Trini is referring to?"

"It's very simple. We have another ally, and it's a big one."

Trini's words caused a stir in the audience. Allies, Spain, at this time, there are other countries willing to join Spain? This news will definitely attract the attention of the whole world. Therefore, the reporters below couldn't help but look excited again, looking at Trini with eager eyes, like seeing a fragrant steamed bun, and it would be really unbearable not to take a bite. [

Someone took the lead and asked: "I wonder if it is an ally or a big guy? Mr. Foreign Secretary's words make us even more confused. I'm sorry. Let me state first that I am a reporter from Russia. Regarding your question, I think we Will many people in China pay attention?"

"I am a reporter from France, and we are also looking forward to the answer to this news. I hope Mr. Foreign Secretary will not hide it carelessly."

"I am a reporter from the United States. I also agree with their views. Please tell Mr. Trini to name this ally so that we can all get to know each other. Which country is this so-called big guy?"

I’m from the Netherlands”

The following calls for mercy made Trini feel more joy rather than pressure. Finally, he said with a smile: "Ethiopia, yes, this is a very important country in Africa. We are already in the country." We have formed an alliance with them for months. Now they are our most important allies on African soil."

"What, Ethiopia? It's actually Ethiopia?"

Oh my god, it's them. When did Spain extend its magic claws there? Isn't this too fast? . It’s really incredible speed and efficiency.”

"Now, France, the UK and Italy are feeling uncomfortable. Ethiopia is a place that these three countries have long wanted to invade. Unexpectedly, Spain is now the latecomer, and it has been trying to get ahead of them all these years. It’s strange that delicacies that are not available in Spain have become the Chinese food on the table in Spain. This makes people feel good. Needless to say, Italy is definitely very angry now, because compared to the United Kingdom and France, Italy is in Ethiopia has spent too much time and effort on this matter."

Yes, Italy has always been the most enthusiastic about that land. After all, compared to the huge colonies of Britain and France, Italy has only Eritrea or the central region of Somalia for so long. This has created Italy It does not require mny's own colonial ambitions, so its position in Ethiopia will definitely not be defended because of some setbacks. What is rare is that in those years, Britain and France needed Italy in the situation on the European continent, so in those years, Regarding Italy's behavior in Ethiopia, it was obvious that both Britain and France chose the default posture. This made Italy once think that this huge piece of land would become its own. However, in the end, they did not expect that they would fail so miserably. And this has attracted more attention from the United Kingdom and France.

The main thing is that in 1894, after Italy received repeated hints from Britain and France and failed to subvert Ethiopia, Italy became angry and directly sent troops to participate. Everything went smoothly at first, and even occupied nearly half of the territory. However, The final result was that under Menelik II's personal leadership in resisting the invaders, the 17,000-strong Italian army, which claimed to be the best among European elites, faced the 100,000-strong Ethiopian army in Africa, which was not very open. At that time, the entire army was annihilated, with 12,000 casualties, and almost all the rest were surrendered to end the country's war. This result naturally shocked Europe, and directly shocked Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. The four major countries did not dare to act rashly. This place, which can be called a European disaster, allowed Europe to experience for the first time what it was like to lose in a large war on the land of Africa.

Naturally, the result was that the government formed by Prime Minister Chris in Italy collapsed, and the United Kingdom demanded in parliament that it revise its policy toward more oppressive Ethiopia. Similar activities in the Senate and House of Representatives also occurred in France, and Germany and Russia He looked at it as if it was nothing to do with him, and stared at it, a bit like watching a show. I would love to see Britain, France and Italy, who were neither allies nor empires at that time, looking embarrassed and embarrassed.

Although over the years, as Menelik II has aged, Ethiopia has slowly begun to lose its toughness as before. There are even rumors that the country wants to live in peace with Britain, France and Italy, and lowers its previous high-headed attitude. The news is that Italy, Britain, France and other countries are just bargaining with them.

You know, Italy paid the price of more than 10,000 lives here. The sensation in the country even caused their internal government to be directly ousted. The anger in this can be imagined. Their king also The father of the current king, Vittorio III, was very proud of his face. In the end, he was worried about this for many years. It was this existence that made Vittorio III's thoughts about Ethiopia even more intense. Seriously, even when he took over the position of king, he expressed in front of the domestic people that he wanted to avenge his past humiliation and make Ethiopia pay a serious price. Now that Spain is stepping in, is Spain ready to withstand the wrath of the Italians?

But precisely because of this, they were even more surprised. Unexpectedly, Spain intervened under such circumstances. Isn't Spain afraid of the retaliation from the three countries?
