Chapter 1035： Disaster (1/2)
Moroccan tribes who originally hated Spain, after acquiring a large number of weapons and ammunition, it is self-evident what will happen.
Since all arms sales have put on the British vests and continue to pretend to be the British government to support the anti-Western movement in Morocco, it is even more so.
There are precedents for supporting the Cuban independence movement, and then secretly supporting the anti-Western movement in Morocco is also a very natural operation.
At least in the thinking mode of the chief of the Moroccan tribe, there is no reason to doubt at all. Besides, other things can be deceived, but genuine weapons and ammunition cannot lie.
The difference in cognition filled the last loophole for this scam. The chiefs couldn't possibly think that weapons and ammunition that were invaluable in their eyes were not much more expensive than potatoes and wheat in the eyes of another wave of people.
The gun is the guts of the Moroccans, as the saying goes, ”You have a gun in your hand and don't panic in your heart.” When the chiefs who had obtained the weapons faced the Spanish colonists, their confidence suddenly came up.
To swallow, it doesn't exist. To know that there is the support of the British Empire behind it, looking at the British warships in the Strait of Gibraltar on the opposite side brings unparalleled confidence to the chiefs.
Driven by hatred and interests, the Spanish immigrants in Morocco lost their blood mold for a while. Being knocked on a sap is nothing at all. It is lucky to be able to get a life back, and the unlucky ones are sent to see God.
Fortunately, there are no cannibal tribes in Morocco, otherwise you might have to go to the barbecue grill.
There is nothing wrong with the civil conflict. The corrupt Moroccan government cannot control the tribes below it internally, and dare not offend the great powers externally.
The same is true in the original time and space. The Spanish fought several battles with the local Moroccan tribes, and the Moroccan government was pretending to be deaf.
The decadent Moroccan Sudanese government is worried, and the Spanish government, which is in endless trouble, is also uncomfortable at this moment.
On the one hand, the personal and property safety of the diaspora must be guaranteed; on the other hand, the exhausted Spain is unable to open a third front.
Diplomatic strength is actually just bluffing. If the indigenous tribes do not buy it, it will not help to scare the Moroccan government.
...
Madrid, Cabinet meeting room.
From the moment he stepped into the venue, Prime Minister Antonio tapped his fingers on the table, as if lost in endless contemplation.
”Everyone is here, so let's start today's meeting! I believe you have all received the news, and our most worried thing has happened.
Following the rebellions in the Philippines and Cuba, the Moroccan region is unstable. The indigenous tribes that are hostile to us have received funding from the British and are causing us trouble.
What measures should be taken next to safeguard the interests of the empire is a topic we need to discuss today. ”
Regardless of whether the British support the Moroccan anti-Western movement, the British must now support it. This is a political need.
Today, whether the Spanish government is willing or not, it must stand on the opposite side of the British.
The money from the Vienna government is not for nothing. If it does not show its position, it will not only be the turmoil in Morocco, but the turmoil in Spain.
Unlike the notorious and strait-blocked British, the influence of the Holy Roman Empire on the European continent is far more terrifying.
If the Vienna government ceases to support them and turns to support the Revolutionary Party, Spain will not only be unable to defend the colonies, but even the mainland will be in chaos.
Although the Vienna government, which is the stronghold of the conservatives, cannot support the Revolutionary Party now, the Spanish government does not know?
No one can say about politics. There are too many stories about screaming and killing, and secretly providing support.
Anyway, the relationship between Britain and the West has always been bad, and the British have recently lost half their lives on the colony issue, so they can simply go to the black and go directly against the British.
Of course, the Spanish government’s anti-British efforts are limited to shouting a few slogans politically to express its position. It is the Holy Roman Empire that really shoulders the heavy responsibility of anti-British.
If Britain really falls, Antonio doesn't mind rushing up and down, otherwise it's better to stay on the sidelines.
”Military means are obviously undesirable. The war in the Philippines is unstoppable, and the suppression of the Cuban rebellion has reached a critical moment. Not only the military can't bear it, but the finances can't stand it!”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer Siegfried said earnestly. It's not that he wants to help the military shirk, but the government's pockets are really not.
Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs went out for a round and borrowed two huge sums of money to come back, more than expected, but no amount of money can withstand the consumption of gold swallowing beasts.
At the expectant glances cast by everyone, the Foreign Secretary Juniol frowned, and his good mood disappeared instantly.
”Don't expect too much. The Kingdom of Morocco has only nominal power over the tribes below. Even if an agreement is reached with them, it will not be able to bind the natives below.
Can't expect us to talk to uncivilized indigenous tribes? There are thousands of tribes in Morocco, large and small, more than our diplomats. ”
Deep down, Junior had already secretly complained: I really thought the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was omnipotent, and everything could be solved?
Knowing that the situation in Morocco is turbulent and someone is manipulating behind it, and still expecting a settlement through negotiation, it is simply...
Colonial Minister Marquis Taboyada said indifferently: ”Military is undesirable, diplomacy can't do it. We can't just let it go, right?
Those uncivilized indigenous people do not understand what international rules are. If the government does not take early measures to combat their arrogance, I am afraid that subsequent attacks will not be an exception.
The face of Spain has been trampled on the ground. If you continue to let it go, everyone will know what will happen in the future. ”
In fact, the conflict between Spain and the indigenous tribes of Morocco is not once or twice.
In order to solve this crisis, the Spanish government has sent troops many times. However, the final result is very touching.
The original space-time Spain and the Moroccans continued to pk until 1926, and finally joined the French to carve up the northern Morocco area.
Although the original space-time lost its richest colony in the Spanish-American War and Spain's national power suffered heavy losses, Spain is not much better now.
Except that the Luxiyong area was reclaimed and the face was brighter, there was not much difference in essence.
Although Cuba and the Philippines are in their hands, the two colonies are fighting for independence. Not only cannot blood transfusion to the country, but also constantly **** blood from the Spanish government.
The dilemma of choice is a headache for any government.
To fall on the inefficient Spanish government, let alone. Meetings and discussions are held every day, but there is no feasible plan.
