Restart Spain Chapter 28

The establishment of the Iberian League marks the formation of a unified force on the Iberian Peninsula.

The British feel betrayed also because Portugal and Britain are indeed long-time allies.

However, the attitudes of other European powers were different, and the Germans expressed their joy. As a famous European crossroads, Germany can be said to be the land of four wars in the true sense.

Look at what the Germans discovered. Their mortal enemy, the French, was also in the embarrassment of being attacked by the enemy, which made the Germans begin to gloat over the misfortune.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire under Germany did not respond much to this matter. In fact, the Spaniards can be regarded as loyal allies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but that was only during the Spanish Habsburg Dynasty.

So the Austrians' reaction was relatively flat.

The most uncomfortable is naturally the French. The French are in a daze and are actually between several great powers, the United Kingdom in the north, Italy in the south, Germany in the east, and the Iberian League in the west.

Except for the small countries of Switzerland and Belgium, the French were pleasantly surprised to find that they were in a more dangerous situation than the Germans.

Therefore, French Foreign Minister Decaz began to frequently contact Spain, Russia and other countries, trying to get out of this diplomatic dilemma.

As for the British at sea, although the French are afraid of their Royal Navy, it does not mean that the French are afraid of them. The people of the two countries are generally opposed to each other because of feud.

So the French targeted Spain and Russia. The Russians publicly abandoned the Three Emperors Alliance not long ago and joined the British and Germany to fight.

The broken alliance of the Three Emperors is crumbling. As competitors on the European continent, the Russians also dislike the Germans.

The Russians can accept the failure of the French in the war against Germany, but they must not accept that the Germans will completely overthrow the French.

Without the presence of France, which can check and balance Germany, the pressure will definitely be shifted to the Russians.

And the characteristics of the Russians are also more obvious. More people and less money is their label. The French, as a usury financial empire, have prepared a lot of loans to the Russians in order to break the diplomatic predicament on the European continent.

Who made the Russians need money to fight the Russo-Turkish war?

In history, Britain and France supported the Ottoman Empire. During the Crimean War in 1856, the French even under the mobilization of Napoleon III, went on an expedition of hundreds of thousands of soldiers without getting any benefits.

So after the French turned to support the Russians, history has changed, and Spain has caused some changes after all.

"Your Majesty, this is a newly developed weapon by His Excellency Vieri of the Arsenal, equipped with the latest hand grenade developed with smokeless powder."

Howard came with the documents. It was news from the arsenal.

"This grenade, named Type 75, uses a wooden structure and a long-handled tail handle, and smokeless powder makes it more powerful..."

Alfonso looked at the information in his hand, and suddenly remembered the magical dramas of later generations. It seems that there is not much difference.

"Tell Arsenio that this weapon is installed in the entire army."

The hand grenade is not the latest invention of Spain, but smokeless gunpowder is the most advanced no matter what weapons were developed when the smokeless gunpowder in European countries did not develop results.

At this time in Cuba, after the Spanish government announced that it would send two additional divisions of the regular army to Cuba to counter the rebellion.

Panic has already begun in Las Villas and Camaguey.

In these two fundamental areas of the Cuban rebels, a large number of rebels are stationed, some of them are for independence, some are for equality.

When the Spanish government announced the demarcation of colonies as a local policy, most of these people didn't take it seriously. After all, the rebels and the colonial army fought vigorously.

There were even several rousing victories, which made these rebel leaders think independence was not out of the question.

And this joy turned into deep fear when the Spanish regular division arrived, escorted by the Atlantic Fleet.

During the religious rebellion, the great battle of tens of thousands of people turned out to be the end of the Spanish Army's victory in one day.

It was the world's No. 1 army. The world's No. 1 army, which forced European powers to make changes, was different from the previous colonial army, which lacked training and equipment.

The rebels will have to face artillery washing, machine gun fire, and well-trained regulars.

The rebel leader, Cespedes, was having a headache at the pseudo-presidential palace in Guaymaro.

On both sides are the two best generals of the rebel army, Gomez and Masseo, who have successfully stood out by virtue of leading 1,300 rebels to defeat 3,000 colonial troops.

"Your Majesty, from the current situation, our troops are powerless to resist the Spanish attack."

Gomez said that the strength of the rebels is indeed very weak,

"But now we don't have a second path to choose other than fighting to the death."

Masseo retorted, being weak and having no way to escape is something that can't be avoided now~www.mtlnovel.com~ Cespedes also scratched his head in pain, and he was faced with almost a dead end.

Seeing that the government army is about to log in, the rebel government has no countermeasures.

"Contact the Americans and ask for their help, this time is a matter of life and death."

Cespedes said, then looked at the two generals, stared at them and said in a deep voice.

"If it comes to the most critical moment, we will give up the major cities we control on the spot, contact black people and Chinese workers, turn the army into small-scale guerrillas, and wait for an opportunity."

It can be said that Cespedes already has the mentality of breaking the boat.

Gomez and Maceo looked at each other, a tragic atmosphere permeated among them, nodded, and then went out to prepare.

The next day, the rebel units started their training camp, and the storm was about to come, and the rebels didn't dare to relax.

In Santiago, eastern Cuba, an army soldier has started to log in one after another from the transport ship.

Santiago, as a serious problem in eastern Cuba, was once threatened by the rebels in the early days of the rebel uprising, and it was only after the colonial theory paid Bayamo that it completely became the rear.

The Spanish Army is stationed less than 2 kilometers from the city.

After a long voyage at sea, Castro announced that the army had a day off.

Therefore, when groups of tall soldiers appeared on the streets of San Diego, they attracted many local young girls...

When the troops arrived in Cuba, highly mobile logistics became a luxury, so Castro met with the mayor of Santiago and requisitioned a large number of carriages and trailers.

The Army will not officially launch the offensive until the logistical issues are resolved.
