MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 130 conscription

The news from the Prime Minister's Office made the "Lord Peace faction" headed by Foreign Secretary Derby cheer.

The "main war faction", which is dominated by the prime minister, emphasizes using tough measures to prevent the Russian army from going south and protect Britain's interests in the Near East at all costs.

The "Lord Peace faction" headed by Foreign Secretary Derby, also known as the "Negativeists".

On the issue of relations with Russia, this faction advocates coordination and cooperation between Britain and Russia, and opposes any excessive words and deeds of the Prime Minister.

Considering the prestige of the Derby family and the influence of Derby himself in places such as Lancashire, which is known as the "barometer of the general election".

Disraeli deliberately accommodated Derby for quite some time and suppressed his hostile feelings against Russia. His many silent martial actions also died prematurely under the obstruction of Derby.

The "Main Peace faction" is the so-called pro-Russian faction. Although Salisbury asked for concessions to Russia, the fundamental reason was to take into account the huge expenditure on maintaining the Ottoman unity.

Salisbury can also be regarded as a "peacemaker", but is closer to the Prime Minister in government.

Derby, the foreign secretary, has been given the task as expected.

Although the Prime Minister's idea cannot be regarded as a complete peace, it is already a great victory in his view.

So, early the next morning, Derby came to the Russian Embassy in England.

"Your Excellency Shuvalov, this time I'm here to bring you good news!"

Unlike ordinary Russian diplomats, Shuvalov was previously the head of the Russian police, a close adviser to Alexander II, and had enormous power in the Russian government.

"Our country would like to invite Russia to join the fight against the Germans."

"I believe that your country does not want to see the French further weakened by the Germans!"

Derby did not directly talk about the Balkan issue, but started with the Germans.

Able to achieve the position of British foreign secretary, Derby is not a brainless person, on the contrary is very smart.

"Indeed, but our country has no time to take care of the Germans' business now."

"Russia still has a lot to do in the Far East and Central Asia!"

Shuvalov said with a blank face, the British had just driven the warship to the door of the Russians, and it was really hard for him to greet him with a smile.

Not only Shuvalov, but everyone at the embassy as well.

"Lord Shuvalov, I think you can first listen to the conditions given by the British Empire."

"In order to repair our relationship, you can give your country appropriate concessions on the Balkan issue."

Derby said with a smile that the end of the dispute with the Russians in the Near East is what the Lord and the Party want to see.

"Then I wonder what conditions your country can give us?"

In fact, it is a matter of time before Russia opposes the Germans, but Shuvalov knows that this time must not reveal this meaning.

The Russians have never wanted to give up expanding their influence in Central Europe, nor would they be willing to have an unprecedentedly powerful Germany next to them.

But orders from the tsar and the prime minister have come, and if the British don't offer what they want, the talks won't end in a spoof.

Alexander II chose to believe the Spaniards. Obviously, Alfonso XII did not let him down. As expected, a new round of war crisis broke out between Germany and France.

"If the British Empire can grant the Russians access to the Mediterranean Sea and Constantinople, I think His Majesty the Tsar will be very willing to cooperate with the British."

"I don't know what the British Empire wants?"

Shuvalov looked at the Derby in front of him with some amusement. Although His Majesty's order was strange, as a confidant of Alexander II, he naturally did things well.

"Your Excellency may be joking. Russia has never gained access to the Balkans in history. Are you planning to launch a war of aggression?"

"If you are stubborn about it, the British Empire will do whatever it takes to protect British interests in the Mediterranean and the Eastern Route."

Although it is the Lord and the faction, Derby is an Englishman after all, and it is absolutely impossible for the Russians to gain access to the sea.

"Then I don't know what conditions your country is willing to offer Russia?" Shuvalov asked sternly.

"In the future Russian-Turkish war that may break out, we can give up our support for the Ottomans on the basis that your country does not seek access to the Mediterranean Sea and the Great Slavic countries."

Derby speaks out about the concessions given by the British...

In fact, the expectations of the two sides are not much different, but diplomatic negotiations always require a long period of mutual testing and mutual understanding.

Every question is likely to bring more benefits to the motherland.

The 19th century was the most brilliant period of European diplomacy.

......

Britain is ready to cede part of the interests of the Balkans, as expected by Alfonso.

Although the news has not been passed to Spain, what the two sides are doing has long been guessed by the Spanish government.

There is also a huge military deal between Spain and the Russians ~www.novelbuddy.com~ countless Maxim machine guns and esp artillery ready to be shipped to the Russian Empire.

Now that the time is almost up, the production work is ready, just waiting for the Russians to deliver.

The domestic recruitment work has also officially started.

After the military parade in China last year, in fact, the public still has a little image of the new army reformed after Alfonso took office.

Coupled with Alfonso's request, Spanish soldiers who are on vacation can wear their military uniforms and go home.

Slim and gorgeous military uniforms do not have the bloated feeling of other countries' military uniforms, and the remaining soldiers after optimization are generally tall.

Therefore, the image of the Spanish soldier can be said to be very attractive,

Standing tall and handsome soldiers will naturally attract people's attention when they come and go in various occasions. Walking on the street makes people look envious.

That's why the Spanish army attracted countless Spanish teenagers, even though the war had just ended.

But there are still few hot-blooded teenagers who can withstand this temptation.

Numerous young Hispanics have signed up for the army.

There are countless young people who have signed up at the recruitment registration offices all over the world. From the irascible king to Yinsabella II, the Spaniards became interested in joining the army for the first time.

You must know that the Spanish Army has only expanded by 60,000 troops, which means that the number of soldiers available for selection will be greatly increased.

For Arsenio, it is a happy trouble. Although the total number of troops in the army has dropped, the number of young people who want to join the army has increased...

At the request of Alfonso, the Spanish Army is also preparing to officially show it to the people.

The Moroccan war that is about to start is also a good thing for the Spanish people to add a little self-confidence.
