MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 18 World's 1st Army
"Yesterday's duel between the Spanish army and religious rebels in Leon-Andalusia,
The Chinese Army has demonstrated the world's most advanced tactics, weapons and fighting methods.
We successfully defeated more than 60,000 religious rebels at the cost of less than 3,000 casualties.
The Chinese army is equipped with the most advanced rifles in the world, and it is also the only unit in the world that has popularized machine guns in the whole army.
According to the evaluation of the war observation groups of various countries on the scene, a machine gun with crazy shooting will be the most terrifying big killer in the world.
my country's army is already well-deserved number one in the world in terms of will to fight, weapons and equipment.
The uniforms and steel helmets designed by His Majesty King Alfonso XII for the army in person highlight the heroic and upright temperament of our soldiers.
It can be said without hesitation that our army is also well-deserved number one in the world in terms of military appearance and appearance.
This is the world's first modern Army team, and our lead will be maintained for a long time.
Spaniards, cheers! For our great World First Army, for our great King Alfonso XII!"
The Spaniards discovered overnight that their country's army had quietly transformed into the world's No. 1 army.
This is a very important event. Who used to be known as the world's No. 1 army, the Kingdom of France and later the German Empire.
Which of these two countries is not one of the biggest powers?
In a situation where the population and economy are at a disadvantage, the Kingdom of Spain has turned into the world's most advanced and most powerful army in the world?
Many Spaniards are even in a state of skepticism, but more are ecstatic.
Since Spain became a global colonial empire in the 17th century, it has naturally formed national self-confidence.
Although the decline in recent years has made it a little depressed, when the words "Spain first" appeared, it was easy to awaken their national self-confidence.
In the world, the weak fighting power of the Spanish army has always made the Spaniards tired and afraid of war.
Although he is still confident in the indigenous people outside Europe, he is obviously lacking in self-confidence in the face of other European powers.
In history, the anti-war voice in Spain has been non-stop. In fact, it is the same as modern football.
For example, my football team can't play anyone. Going out to play has never brought glory and cheers to the country, so fans hate him, and the enthusiasm of a large number of fans is ruthlessly extinguished.
On the other hand, when my football team is an opponent with superior strength and anyone who goes out to play will value it, people will naturally love him.
Because he brought glory and confidence to the country.
In fact, the same is true of the army. When the attractiveness of the army is greatly improved, it will naturally reduce people's war weariness.
The increase in attractiveness will not only reduce the war-weariness of the people, but will also attract a large number of young people to join the army.
And military uniform is also a very important part. A handsome military uniform will increase people's yearning for the military.
For example, in the history of Desan, no one can deny Desan's evil, but he can't deny that Desan's handsome uniform attracted young Germans at that time.
And when the pictures of the Spanish Army appeared in major newspapers, countless young people yearned for it.
This is different from the gorgeously decorated armies of other countries. The Spanish Army is more decorated with the upright and heroic momentum of the soldiers.
However, the Spanish Army did not openly recruit troops at this time, so there was no scene of young Spanish people signing up actively.
While the Spaniards were all proud, the performance of the European powers was different.
Compared with the invincible Royal Navy, the British Army can be described as pocket-sized.
"Although the fleet of the British Empire can ensure our safety at sea, the problem of our army is always a big problem. I think the reform of the British army is urgent, otherwise we will be abandoned by the times on land."
Queen Victoria's favorite, Prime Minister Dilisleigh, who just came to power, said in his speech.
Under the circumstance that everything could not threaten the status of the British navy, the British would not care too much.
In recent years, France and Germany have taken turns sitting on the throne of the world's No. 1 army, and the British have not responded much.
For example, the German Empire, also in the period of Wilhelm II, appointed Tirpitz as the German Admiralty Minister, and the navy began to build ships on a large scale.
The rapid development of the German navy also caused the relationship between Britain and Germany to deteriorate in a straight line.
So the British response was relatively muted.
On the other side of the English Channel, the mighty French reacted more violently.
As a continental power, the French are indispensable to competition from the land.
Before Spain, the German army had overwhelmed the French.
In May, the French government published an article, "Frightened French," which prompted the British and Russians to put pressure on the Germans,
But from the side, it can reflect the French's lack of confidence in the German Army.
And the sudden emergence of the Spaniards in the rear made everyone in France feel at risk. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Sandwiched between the first and second most powerful army in the army, France is now in an extremely difficult situation.
The previous transaction between the Germans and the Spaniards made the French feel that the two countries have a tendency to move closer.
Therefore, enthusiastic people in Paris, France, spontaneously began to march, asking the French government to find a solution.
The French government was also devastated. After the Franco-Prussian War, the French strengthened their army and never considered Spain in the rear.
In a possible German-French war, the only variable the French must now consider is the Spaniards.
The Austrians and the Russians are all allies of the Germans, and everyone knows the reputation of the Three Emperors Alliance.
The only allies left for the French to choose from are actually the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain.
Britain and France are feuding, Italy hates the French, and Spain is suspected of moving closer to Germany. A series of performances gave the French government a headache.
Therefore, the French government's diplomatic activities are more frequent.
The French are devastated, and the German government is not much better.
The Germans, who have been calling themselves the world's No. 1 army in recent years, suffered the exact opposite treatment to the Spaniards overnight.
The title of the world's No. 1 army was snatched away by a second-rate country, which angered the Germans who were full of self-confidence.
The army has always been the golden sign of the Germans, and the consequences of losing this sign will inevitably lead to the seizure of large orders by Spain for the German military factories.
This is unbearable for the Germans, without overseas colonies, they cannot easily accept the loss of the only signboard.
So what the Germans face is not the diplomatic dilemma of the French, but the voice of the people inside.
