"How about we agree to the request of the Germany people! In this case, although the face will be damaged, at least we will not be attacked by the Germany people. In this case, it is the best result for the kingdom." Alfonso XIII said.
Obviously, after being intimidated by German Ambassador, his attitude has tended to compromise with Germany people.
"Your Majesty, if we compromise with the Germany people, Kingdom of Spain will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world. By then, our reputation will be discredited. At the same time, I am afraid it will also arouse the dissatisfaction of the domestic people and trigger a new round of riots against the government. In that case, the consequences will be difficult to predict." Count Romanones is a little worried.
A trace of confusion appeared on Alfonso XIII's face. At such a critical moment, his difficulty in choosing appeared again. It is too difficult for Monarch, who has no courage, to make a choice in the face of such a complicated situation.
"Your Majesty, German Ambassador acted fiercely. However, this may just mean that they are not determined to go to war with us. They just want to scare us so that we agree to their conditions. If we compromise with them now, we will really be fooled by them." Preto said.
"Is this really the case?" Alfonso XIII was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait a moment, let's go find out other news, and then make a decision." Preto suggested.
"Okay, check out other news and report to me as soon as possible. Germany people don't have much time left." Alfonso XIII was worried. He had a feeling that his country was facing a huge crisis. If you are not careful, you may be destroyed.
Count Romanones and Preto left the palace, hoping to find out the news through their own channels.
Romanones sent someone directly to inform British Ambassador. I would like to get further information from Britain people. After all, he fought hard for the 10 million Mark reward offered by Britain people.
The place where the two met was in a hidden cafe. British Ambassador didn't come by himself, American Ambassador came at the same time. Americans is also very interested in the changes in the situation of Spain.
As the only big country in the world that can compete with Germany, United States's strength is slightly weaker than Germany. However, overall it's still very good. If any country in the world can pose a threat to Germany's Hegemonic Status. So, the one who deserves the title is undoubtedly United States. However, in the competition with Germany, United States has always been at a disadvantage. While striving to develop its own strength, especially its military strength, United States also hopes to stumble Germany secretly. In this case, it will undoubtedly help weaken the strength of Germany.
This time Britain people are doing things in Spain, and they also have the support of Americans behind them. Americans also hopes that a war will break out between Spain and Germany. Of course, they knew that with Spain's strength, it was impossible for him to be Germany's opponent. However, if Germany can be found guilty of wantonly invading small and weak countries through this incident, it will be a heavy blow to Germany's already poor reputation and international reputation. United States can take this opportunity to further expand their influence in other countries. With the support of other countries, United States's strength will develop faster and greater. By then, it may not be too difficult to surpass Germany.
Preto couldn't help but frowned when he saw American Ambassador. He increasingly believed that this matter was a big trap. If he could, he wished it had never happened. He is even willing to return the money he received from British Ambassador to the other party. However, Preto knows that this is impossible.
"Your Excellency, two ambassadors, why are you together?" Preto asked.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, this is a coincidence. When you asked someone to inform me, American Ambassador happened to be a guest at my place. Your Excellency American Ambassador also expressed sympathy for your country's experience. Therefore, you came with me this time, hoping to express all the help you can to Spanish government." British Ambassador said.
In this case, he is just a child. Preto is not a three-year-old child, so he naturally knows what is going on here. Obviously, Britain and Americans colluded. It's no wonder that all the Britain people fled to Canada. Without the protection of Americans, they would not be able to gain a foothold in Canada. Under such circumstances, there is naturally collusion with Americans.
Preto nodded and no longer struggled with this issue. Anyway, that makes no sense at all.
"Your Excellencies, two ambassadors, just now, German Ambassador officially made a war threat to us. They proposed to lease Gibraltar for ninety-nine years at the price of one Mark. This was sternly rejected by our government. Now, the Germany people should be angry with shame. It is estimated that they will start a war with us soon." Preto said.
"Hmph! The Germany people are as domineering as ever. They were like this before the last war was over. Now, World War is over. But they still do that. This really doesn't take other countries into consideration!" American Ambassador expressed indignation.
"Who made Germany the world hegemon now? Isn't it true that they can fight whoever they want? Other countries have no choice but to endure it." British Ambassador said.
American Ambassador and British Ambassador were chatting aside, making Preto's expression even more ugly.
"Your Excellency, two ambassadors, our country Your Majesty can hardly bear the pressure of Germany people. I'm afraid, he will agree to Germany people's conditions." Preto said with a dark face.
British Ambassador and American Ambassador looked at each other. If Spain just compromised like this, it would not be in their interests.
"Your Excellency Foreign Minister, United States strongly disagrees with the behavior of Germany people. US government will severely condemn this kind of behavior of Germany people. We will also report it. Call more countries to condemn the Germany people and create public pressure on them. I think that in the face of the pressure of public opinion from all over the world, the Germany people will not invade Spain," said American Ambassador.
Obviously, American Ambassador's words indicate that they are willing to support Spain. However, Preto does not believe that the Germany people will give up the invasion of Spain under the condemnation of public opinion.
