Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

Chapter 73 Mudanya Bay

Decaz returned to the French embassy and began to spread the news domestically.

Alfonso's proposal is no longer a simple purchase of warships, but the two sides divide their spheres of influence in North Africa.

McMahon, a typical military president, is particularly concerned about French revenge and expansion, so Spain's remarks should be considered a boost to McMahon.

Even if France expands alone, it still needs to win over the European powers. Even if the Spaniards do not mention this, in the future expansion of France, Spain is also an indispensable target to win over.

Reply to Decaz, we agree to this condition, but we will not start action in a short time, so we must sign a treaty that can be used to guarantee.

McMahon immediately issued an order. This condition of the Spaniards was regarded as an additional condition for the purchase of warships. McMahon was too lazy to compete with the parliament now.

With his tough attitude, no one wanted to be the one who was beaten.

The news between Paris and Madrid was very fast. As far away as Decaz in Madrid, a telegram from Paris was received in a short while.

With a telegram in his hand, Decaz turned around again and headed to the Royal Palace of Madrid...

......

The deal between France and Spain in Madrid is unknown for the time being, and the situation between Ottoman and Russia is still tense.

August 13, 1876, Constantinople.

In order to ease the increasingly tense situation in Russia and Turkey, we invite the leaders of European countries to Constantinople to discuss the common source of the two sides in solving the problem.

The turmoil in the Balkans needs to be resolved by all European powers. Adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, we hope that practical issues can be resolved in the meeting.

The United Kingdom will exclude Salisbury as a representative, so we invite Russia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and six countries to send representatives to come to this meeting.

The meeting will officially start on August 20, and I hope you will come on time.

The British government has directly issued an invitation to European countries, which is the last step that can be done to solve the problem peacefully.

Your Excellency Ambassador, we do not remember your country notifying our country of this meeting, and our country cannot participate in this meeting.

The Ottoman Prime Minister Midhart Pasha went directly to the British embassy in the Ottomans. This time the British did not inform them at all, which made the prime minister a little sad.

This is a meeting for your country. I hope Osman will also send officials to the talks. It will have a good outcome for Osman.

The British ambassador did not answer the reason why he did not discuss with the Ottomans. This is a battle between the great powers. It is already a toothless tiger, the Ottoman Empire, and it does not deserve to be looked at.

Then our country refuses to participate in this meeting, which is unprovoked interference in our country's internal affairs. It is impossible for our country to recognize the legitimacy of this meeting.

Midhart Pasha outright rejected the British ambassador's claim, which was a complete disregard for Ottoman sovereignty.

Master Prime Minister, I think you'd better accept this request. It's a good thing for Osman.

If the Ottomans refuse to participate in this meeting, Her Majesty's Government will have to withdraw all support and assistance in the ensuing negotiations.

The British ambassador is almost a naked threat. Just as he helped the Ottomans and the Spaniards complete the arms purchase order not long ago, the Ottomans are now looking up to the British snorts before they can survive.

I want the Prime Minister to be able to make the right choice.

Midhart Pasha stared at the British ambassador with a sneer in front of him, his fists in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, his expressionless politician face,

At this time, there was a hint of coldness.

Ottoman Turkey, which has deterred Europe for hundreds of years, is now so helpless under the threat of the British.

Finally, Midhart Pasha's face slowed down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

Osman will of course attend the meeting of British friends, and he will need a lot of help from His Excellency the Ambassador.

The fingernails under the sleeves have been pinched into the flesh, and the fists are trembling slightly because of the force. It can be seen that this smiling prime minister is not really as comfortable as the surface.

That is natural. His Excellency Salisbury is the former Minister of Indian Affairs, and naturally he will fight for the benefits he deserves for Ottoman.

The British ambassador smiled lightly, satisfied with the attitude of the Ottomans.

Midhart Pasha smiled awkwardly, then turned and walked out of the British embassy.

A sad feeling gradually spread out.

This meeting, chaired by the British, has a high possibility of making the Ottomans become meat on the chopping board and slaughtered by others.

In fact, Osman's strength is not so weak, but he is facing the Russians known as European road rollers.

The idea of ​​the Russians occupying Istanbul was unacceptable to any Turk.

The situation between the two countries is almost endless. ·And now the only country that can maintain Ottoman's competitiveness is undoubtedly the British family. Ottoman is almost at the point where he can't lose her.

On the 13th of the announcement of the meeting, three warships from Barcelona also officially arrived in Mudanya Bay, about 10 kilometers away from Istanbul.

The British fleet deployed in the Black Sea was stationed here, and the three big Spanish ships drove into the middle of a group of British ships so brightly.

British Rear Admiral Welshland, the temporary commander of this fleet, was inexplicably excited when he saw the three ships that were about to be assigned to him.

The Spaniard's crew, in the days to come, would be trained by them as a British navy, by order of the British high ranks.

In other words, these three ships will belong to his soldiers in the next few days.

The Spaniard's ship is really big. These three ships should be Castile-class.

The adjutant of Welshland looked at the three behemoths in front of him and expressed his amazement. In fact, there are many ships in the UK that reach 10,000 tons.

Therefore, although the British navy was amazed, it was not shocked. The confidence of a naval power emerged spontaneously.

The commanders of the three warships have also disembarked, and under the leadership of the British navy, they came to the command of Welshland.

Your Excellency Commander, Ledesma (Redondo) (Joao) reports to you!

The three young men had high hopes to become the three captains of the Castile class, and this time their mission was also very clear, to bring the experience and advanced concepts of the British Navy to the Spanish Navy.
