Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Chapter IX German Ambassador

Zaragoza, Palencia, Granada, Córdoba

Since the day before yesterday, His Majesty the King personally confirmed that four steel plants will be built in these four famous Spanish inner cities, successive technicians and workers have begun to gather.

And at this time the Royal Palace of Madrid.

Your Majesty, the German ambassador has arrived.

Howard came in and said to Alfonso who was writing something at the desk.

Alfonso put down the pen in his hand and asked, Where?

Already waiting in the parlour,

Alfonso stood up and moved his muscles

Then let's go.

As soon as Alfonso entered the door of the parlour, he saw Matt, the German ambassador, sitting seriously.

Hello, Mr. Matt, you are welcome to visit the palace during your busy schedule.

Alfonso was obviously different from the German royal family who obeyed the nobility etiquette, and was the first to greet Matt.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty.

Matt obviously inherited the rigidity and rigor of the German aristocracy, and treats etiquette meticulously.

Mr. Matt, you must have heard some wind.

Alfonso said straight to the point, after all, this transaction is obviously not too short.

I heard a little bit, I heard that your country is going to build 4 iron and steel factories, already arsenals, I think Your Majesty is here for this, right?

Matt's answer also named the subject, and Alfonso really came for this matter.

Then I won't speak secretly. We want to learn your country's steel manufacturing experience, and we can sell a batch of excellent artillery to your country.

Artillery? As far as I know, your country doesn't seem to have any good artillery.

Matt was right, Spain did not have a relatively good artillery to prove itself before.

Hearing Alfonso smile involuntarily, the last time Spain became famous internationally was probably the Spanish throne that prompted the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War.

It seems that the ambassador's news is not very well-informed, which is a thing of the past.

After speaking, Alfonso took out a piece of data from his desk and handed it to Matt, the German ambassador.

75mm caliber, 1160 kg gun weight, 2.7m gun length, 8500m effective range, 529 m/s...

Alfonso looked at Matt, who was a little panicked in front of him, with some amusing.

Before that, who didn't know that the Germans' artillery was the best in Europe, and even the eldest Frenchman couldn't compare.

And when this data, which is at least 20 years older than Germany, is placed in front of him, the mood as a German can be imagined.

I don't know what this is?

Matt's face was a little unnatural, and he was even unwilling to believe it.

This is the latest ESP1875 rapid-firing artillery developed by our country, and the data is on it.

Alfonso squinted his eyes with a smile, and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea.

This is impossible. If the data on this drawing really appears in reality, then all the artillery used now will be like toys.

Mark has already lost his temper. After all, the data recorded in this document is indeed like a rumor.

Alfonso stood up unhurriedly and lightly tidied up his clothes.

Let's go, Mr. Ambassador, you don't seem to believe the real letter of this data, then I'll take you to see the real thing.

After speaking, Alfonso stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

It is better to be respectful than to obey, please, Your Majesty the King.

Matt also got up and said that he couldn't believe it if he didn't see the real thing.

The two took the carriage of the palace and came to the experimental site.

Guards, pull out the cannon and fire quickly for 2 minutes.

Alfonso waved to the guards at the testing ground and shouted.

Yes

The guards dragged a brand new 75mm cannon from the warehouse.

Then four guards went to the launch station, ready to launch.

Aim at 8,000 meters ahead and fire at the limit in 2 minutes.

After Alfonso gave the order, he looked at Matt next to him.

Look, Matt

Matt nodded, but did not speak.

Prepare, let go!

The guard signaled that the preparation was over, and Alfonso nodded to start.

Peng, Peng, Peng, Peng...

The continuous sound of artillery began to sound, and under the skilled palace guards, an ESP1875 artillery began to roar.

After two full minutes of shooting, the shells on the ground had reached an astonishing number of more than forty.

How about it, Mr. Ambassador, this artillery should be eligible to participate in the transaction.

Alfonso turned his head and said to Matt, who was already stunned.

At this time, Matt had not already made an uproar. He did not expect that Spain, which in his eyes had always been a role of a declining empire, would actually come up with such an amazing mark.

I think there is no problem, Your Majesty, but I don't have the authority to make such a big decision for the German Empire.

Matt pondered for a while.

If possible, I hope His Majesty can hand me a copy of this artillery data, I will send it back to China, please discuss it in the country.

Matt said that at this time, he was already reluctant to part with this shocking cannon.

Of course no problem, Mr. Ambassador, but please reply as soon as possible, and I will be waiting for you at the Royal Palace of Madrid.

Alfonso nodded to indicate that there was no problem, this should be a normal process.

After saying goodbye, Matt has rushed back to his place of work, ready to report the matter to the country.

...

Your Majesty the Emperor:

In Spain, the westernmost kingdom of Europe, I was summoned by King Alfonso XII of Spain,

His Majesty Alfonso hopes to reach cooperation with my country, and the Spanish side hopes to obtain our steel-making technology and send relevant experts to give technical guidance.

On the other hand, they are willing to sell a new Spanish-developed artillery, which is a modern-era artillery, which I witnessed in Spain fire 40 shells in two minutes.

And his effective range has reached 8km, which is almost twice the range of our artillery.

Therefore, after the King of Spain made this proposal, I immediately called back to China, hoping that the role and value of this artillery can be carefully evaluated in China.

The specific artillery data are as follows: effective range 8500m, rate of fire 30 rounds/s, weight 1160kg

 …”

After returning, Matt didn't start sending telegrams like a domestic telegram without a moment's mistake.

At this time in Germany, the Chancellor's Office.

Bismarck, who is already 70 years old, is still meticulous in handling his official duties. This iron-blooded prime minister who single-handedly united Germany is also showing a bit of old style.

Your Excellency Prime Minister, Matt, the ambassador to Spain, sent a telegram.

The assistant spoke to Bismarck with a telegram.

Oh? Leave it here.

Apparently he was also a little surprised, there were not many telegrams from Spain~

Bismarck took it and squinted at Matt's telegram, his originally casual expression gradually turning serious.

Prepare the carriage and go to Sanssouci Palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the jacket on the chair, his face dignified.

There is bound to be a violent upheaval within the young country of the German Empire.
