Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Your Majesty Alfonso, the ambitions of the Russians have touched our bottom line, and the United Kingdom hopes that your country can support us on the Ottoman issue.

Turkey's Bosphorus and Dardanelles are important barriers to protect Britain's eastern shipping routes. As a tool for wrestling with Russia, the Turks' government opinions are basically inspired by the British.

A few months ago, the three countries jointly signed the Berlin Memorandum, but the United Kingdom strongly refused. The British fleet is still entrenched in the Bay of Beswick. Disraeli has publicly stated that this move is not to protect Christians or Turkey, but To support Queen Victoria's empire.

Of course, this move also gave the Turks confidence that Turkey, which is in trouble at home and abroad, dared to refuse to accept the Berlin Memorandum while suppressing the Bulgarian uprising.

Your Excellency Prime Minister, our country has no interests in the Mediterranean Sea and the Balkans. This move will do us no good. Is your country willing to hand Gibraltar to us?

Alfonso's words are a bit ironic. The crisis in the Near East can be said to have nothing to do with Spain. Even if Spain is in decline at this time, it is not a tool for the British to compete.

Gibraltar is the most important core territory of our country and the UK will not hand it over to any country, all we want is the duty of wanting Spain's travelling ally.

Never thought that Alfonso would talk about Gibraltar. The United Kingdom could give up the Turkish Strait, but it was impossible to give up Gibraltar.

The cooperation between Spain and the United Kingdom is only limited to the Americas. This is an agreement we reached long ago. Our country will not offend any major European country for the British without any interests.

Although Spain is in decline, the reputation of this 19th century period is not weak at all. Therefore, Alfonso directly retorted and wanted us to participate, but there must be interests.

Your Majesty, I don't know what we have to pay in exchange for your country's support for the Near East issue?

Disraeli said lightly, expecting Spain to perform in front of him without interest, which everyone in the UK knows is impossible.

We only need an order. I think the Turks and the Russians on land have already lost the battle. This is the time when we need to trade arms with us. I think the UK will have a way to get the Ottomans to use them. money to trade.

We can even sell our warships to the Ottomans at low prices and use them to strengthen Turkey's maritime power.

Alfonso's language is amazing. If the army equipment is now the fist equipment of the Spaniards, the navy is mediocre.

The five former dreadnoughts of Spain will be launched immediately. If they can be thrown to the Turks at a low price, it is also a good idea.

This is impossible. We can buy a batch of army weapons as appropriate, but the warships are completely unaffordable for the Ottomans.

Disraeli said bluntly that Ottoman's bankrupt finances could not afford such a huge military purchase.

Alfonso cannot deny this. Spain has no intention to ask for money from the very beginning. The heavy industry in the country has gradually developed, and the demand for raw materials is increasing sharply.

We can not ask the Ottomans to pay in cash, but we need them to continue to pay in the future using mineral resources such as coal and iron.

Spain is mountainous, but its natural resources are not rich. Today, the Ottomans are even controlled by Egypt, and the natural resources are very rich.

But this will have a huge impact on the Ottoman Empire, and it is impossible for them to agree.

The British are seriously considering the Ottomans, two European countries are deciding the Ottomans' policies, which can be said to be a great sadness for the Ottomans.

The British are now the gods of the Ottomans, once the British stopped supporting the Ottomans,

The courage of the Ottoman executives will be frightened.

After the meeting of Constantine, the British convened all European countries to negotiate, and the Ottoman executives willingly became the sisters of the power competition because of a threat from the British.

But if the land is gone, all these are empty talk, right? The Ottomans have lost Waguinea, an important coal-producing area, and the Russians who are recharged may have a better appetite this time.

The importance of coal as a ration in the industrial age is self-evident, and with the rise of the internal combustion engine, oil has gradually replaced this position. As an important oil-producing area for later generations, Kuwait is still in the hands of the Ottomans.

The Arabs and Oman next to them are now the protectorates of the British, and the United Kingdom will not give up the meat that has been in the bowl for the Arabs.

The huge land gap between the Ottomans and Russia can only be faced with the machine guns and rapid-fire guns made in China. If the Turks can stop the Russians by themselves, isn't this the best choice for the UK?

Alfonso continued to say that the secret of smokeless gunpowder is believed to not be kept for long, and only this period has the opportunity to win a few large orders.

As for the issue of warships, we actually know the specific situation of the Ottomans. As friends of the British, we can exchange a large number of warships for a small colony to show our support for your country.

I don't know where your country is talking about a small colony? Disraeli asked. Apart from India, the Ottomans have no coveted territory that Spain can take.

Alfonso waved his hand, and the guards in gorgeous military uniforms carried out a large map.

here.

Draw a circle by hand in the Kuwait area, including Iraq and part of Najd, which is a famous oil-producing area in later generations.

Here? If we exchange this land, we essentially agree, but I don't understand why your country is interested in this place.

Disraeli's problem can be said to be normal. The Arabian Peninsula is now nothing more than a sparsely populated and resource-poor desert, and even Spain has no way of protecting it.

It's just a desert, that's not the root cause, all we need is that the British can help us convince Ottoman to complete the deal.

The transaction that Alfonso said was naturally the exchange of weapons for various natural resources. Spain, which lost its American colonies, is indeed lacking in the origin of raw materials.

Spain has large reserves of coal and iron, but compared to the world's real high-yield countries, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Our country needs to commission 5 new warships recently, and at the same time, the retired ironclad ships can be handed over to your country, or the Ottoman Empire, and we can only accept the cost of raw materials.

In order to reduce Disraeli's doubts about Kuwait's status, he can only pay more attention to raw materials to reduce the British's doubts.

Happy cooperation!

Disraeli directly reached out his hand to express his agreement. A desert for a large number of warships seems to be a very good deal now.

The Ottoman-Spain deal is settled, although the Ottoman government may not know anything about it today.
