"Or, let's agree to the Germans' request! In this case, although the face will be damaged, at least we will not be attacked by the Germans. In this case, it is the best result for the kingdom." Alfonso XIII Said.
Obviously, after being intimidated by the German ambassador, his attitude has tended to compromise with the Germans.
"Your Majesty, if we compromise with the Germans, the Kingdom of Spain will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world. At that time, our reputation will be discredited. At the same time, it may also arouse the dissatisfaction of the domestic people and trigger a new round of opposition to the government." Riots. In that case, the consequences will be unpredictable." Count Romanones was a little worried.
A tangled look appeared on Alfonso XIII's face. At such a critical moment, he had another difficulty in choosing. For a monarch without courage, it is too difficult for him to make a choice in the face of such a complicated situation.
"Your Majesty, the German ambassador's voice is very harsh. However, this may just show that they are not determined to fight us. They just want to scare us so that we will agree to their terms. If we compromise with them now If you don’t, then you’ve really been fooled by them,” Prieto said.
"Is this really the case?" Alfonso XIII was a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for a while, let's inquire about other news, and then make a decision." Prieto suggested.
"Okay, inquire about other news and report to me as soon as possible. The time given by the Germans is running out." Alfonso XIII was worried. He had a feeling that his country was facing a great crisis. If you are not careful, it may be destroyed.
Count Romanones and Prieto left the palace, hoping to find news through their own channels.
Romanones sent someone directly to notify the British ambassador. Want to get further news from the British. After all, he also worked hard for the 10 million mark reward offered by the British.
The place where the two met was in a hidden cafe. The British ambassador did not come by himself, but also the American ambassador. The changes in the situation in Spain have also made the Americans very interested.
As the only major country in the world that can rival Germany, the strength of the United States is slightly weaker than that of Germany. However, overall it's pretty good. If there is any country in the world that can pose a threat to Germany's hegemony. Well, it is undoubtedly the United States that deserves it. However, in the competition with Germany, the United States has always been at a disadvantage. While striving to develop its own strength, especially its military strength, the United States also hopes to be able to stumbling the Germans secretly. In this case, it will undoubtedly help to weaken Germany's strength.
This time the British are doing things in Spain, and there is also the support of the Americans behind them. Americans also wanted a war between Spain and Germany. Of course, they knew that with Spain's strength, they could not be Germany's opponents. However, if Germany can be convicted of wanton invasion of weak and small countries through this incident, it will be a heavy blow to Germany's already bad reputation and international reputation. And the United States can take this opportunity to further expand their influence in other countries. With the support of other countries, the strength of the United States will develop faster and greater. It may not be too difficult to surpass Germany by then.
When Prieto saw the American ambassador, he couldn't help frowning. He felt more and more that this matter was a big trap. If he could, he even wished it hadn't happened at all. He is even willing to return the money he got from the British ambassador to the other party. But Prieto knew that was impossible.
"Your Excellency, two ambassadors, why are you together?" Prieto asked.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is a coincidence. When you sent someone to inform me, the American ambassador happened to be a guest at my place. Your Excellency, the American ambassador, also expressed sympathy for what happened to your country. So, this time, it is a good time to come with me this time. We hope to express all possible help to the Spanish government," said the British ambassador.
If this is the case, it is just a child. Prieto is not a three-year-old child, so he naturally knows what's going on here. It is clear that the British and Americans are in collusion. It's no wonder that the British have fled to Canada. Without the asylum of the Americans, they would not be able to gain a foothold in Canada. Under such circumstances, there is naturally a collusion with the Americans.
Prieto nodded, no longer entangled in this issue. Anyway, that doesn't make any sense at all.
"Your Excellencies, just now, the German ambassador formally threatened us with war. They offered to lease Gibraltar for 99 years at the price of one mark. Our government sternly rejected it. Now, the Germans should be furious. It is estimated that soon, they will go to war with us." Prieto said.
"Huh! The Germans are as domineering as ever. They were like this when the last war was not over. Now, the world wars are over. But they still do it like that. This is too unreasonable The country of China is in the eye!" The US ambassador expressed his indignation.
"Who made Germany the world's hegemon now? Isn't this why they can fight whoever they want? Other countries have nothing to do about it, they can only endure it." The British ambassador said.
The American and British ambassadors made sarcastic remarks, which made Prieto's expression even uglier.
"Your Excellency the two ambassadors, His Majesty is almost unable to withstand the pressure from the Germans. I am afraid that he will agree to the conditions of the Germans." Prieto said with a dark face.
The British ambassador and the American ambassador glanced at each other. If the Spaniards just compromised and retreated like this, it would not be in their interest.
"Your Excellency, Foreign Secretary, the United States does not agree with the behavior of the Germans. The U.S. government will severely condemn this behavior of the Germans. We will also call on more countries to condemn the Germans and create public pressure on them. I think, in the face of the pressure of public opinion all over the world, the Germans should not invade Spain." The US ambassador said.
Obviously, the words of the American ambassador indicated that they were willing to support Spain. However, Prieto was less convinced that the Germans would be forced by public opinion to abandon the invasion of Spain.
