Restart Spain Chapter 75

The news from Constantinople left Alfonso stunned.

Salisbury is against guaranteeing the integrity of Ottoman, this Alfonso knows, but he did not expect to be against it in such a way.

In Disraeli's policy, the Ottomans were an important barrier for Britain's defense of the eastern Mediterranean. The British controlled the Ottomans, so that the eastern Mediterranean route would have no worries.

In Salisbury's conception, a Turkey that controls the strait and traps Russia in the Black Sea is the least risky investment for the British Empire.

"Inform Parachides, continue to follow in the footsteps of the British, and the British will definitely use tricks next."

In the final analysis, Salisbury is now only the Minister of Indian Affairs, and in terms of power, he is completely inferior to Disraeli, who is already the Prime Minister of the Empire.

"Damn Salisbury, is he trying to treason?"

Disraeli in London was also furious at this time. The prime minister, who had a bad temper, was completely angered by Salisbury's behavior.

At such an important international conference, he directly rejected his decision, which not only embarrassed him, but also embarrassed the British Empire among the European powers.

"Inform Elliott directly and let him replace Salisbury with full authority, and then I will instruct him in London on what to do."

He doesn't quite agree with Elliott's ability, and it can even be said that he doesn't trust enough. Remote command in London is the best choice for him.

After Disraeli finished speaking, he looked at the assistant beside him, and suddenly thought of something inside Osman.

"Isn't the government of Midhart Pasha doing some reform? Inform them that the terms of the reform need to be kind to the Slavs, so that the British Empire can help them get through the difficulties."

Midhat Pasha's reform was a reform of the constitutional monarchy, and it was in this year that the constitution of the Ottoman Empire was written by Midhat Pasha in 1876.

And once the article on treating the Slavs kindly was written into the constitution, the Russians' question of Ottoman's murder of the Slavs was fundamentally resolved.

If the Russians use this word to provoke a crisis, it will be untenable at least in legal terms. After all, the Ottomans have already complied in disguise and even revised the constitution.

"In addition, put all the previous faults on Salisbury, comfort them, and let them know that the attitude of the British Empire is still on their side."

"Bring Salisbury back to the country to see if he really wants to face court."

Disraeli is indeed a man known as the father of imperialism, and he figured out a solution in just a short time.

As for forcing the Ottomans to add a constitution, it is not a problem for Disraeli at all. As long as the Ottomans are not stupid, they can only smash their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and obey the British words.

The assistant quickly took orders and started sending telegrams to Elliott who was far away in Istanbul.

Looking at the distant assistant, Disraeli was still thinking about the Salisbury incident. In fact, even if this didn't happen, Disraeli would not be as supportive of Osman as before.

In the final analysis, it is because the effort and the gain are not proportional. The reason why he blames Salisbury is that he arbitrarily made decisions on him, which almost made the British Empire and him lose face.

Unlike the British Empire, the Russian imperial government, the easternmost of Europe, was beaming.

"Your Majesty, this time the British may have had internal disagreements, allowing us to take these territories without a fight."

Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatyev, the ambassador to Istanbul, congratulated Alexander II in St. Petersburg.

This famous pan-Slavist single-handedly created the Treaty of San Stefano that almost dismembered Ottoman.

"It is indeed a gratifying thing. Next, we only need to nibble the Slavic region step by step, and we can acquire important Mediterranean ports."

Alexander II was indeed relieved that he was able to take the Balkan countries into the Russian sphere of influence, and that Constantinople would be right in front of him.

"The Slavs in the Balkans have a high degree of goodwill towards us. It is almost an easy thing for us to gain their approval."

"But we still have to be careful that the British have remorse, and they have a lot of tricks."

Pavlovich could not help reminding the tsar, who was still full of joy, that the British had backtracked more than they had themselves.

Alexander II, who was on the verge of hearing the words, was also righteous. He was a little complacent. This is not a gesture that a monarch should show.

"And Your Majesty, the differences among the British may not be very big. According to the news from Gorchakov, even another person representing the United Kingdom seems to be unaware of this matter."

Alexander II nodded, and because of Pavlovich's words, he reacted to it for a while. ,

"However, there are differences among the British, which just proves that they also have a slight hesitation about whether to support the Ottomans."

"Pavlovich, keep an eye on the dynamics inside the UK~www.mtlnovel.com~We can start preparing as soon as there is a suitable opportunity."

Alexander II was also ready to take the call at any time, turning his head to look at Pavlovich.

"Once the British were not so firm, we immediately contacted the Spaniards to buy enough cannons to suppress the Ottomans, and they would not refuse like last time."

The last time Pavlovich went to Spain to try to buy weapons, the Spaniards rejected it righteously. Spain, who wanted to expand overseas, was the one who could not offend the United Kingdom the most.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Pavlovich saluted respectfully.

As the most orthodox imperial title in the whole of Europe, the tsar's desire for Constantinople is indescribable.

The title of the Russian emperor is the inheritance of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the emperor recognized by Europeans is only the emperor of the Roman Empire.

The title of Emperor of AustriHungary is nothing but unwillingness to give up the legal principles of the Holy Roman Empire. In fact, it was not recognized as early as 1806 after it was forcibly cancelled by Napoleon.

The emperors of France and Germany are completely self-proclaimed.

As strong as the British Empire, the title of emperor is also inherited from India, and countries like Spain and Italy do not have the title of emperor.

A monarch can only call himself a king.

Now, once the Slavs in the Ottomans are autonomous, the Russians are within easy reach of this millennial city.

No tsar could resist the glory of restoring Constantinople, and Alexander II was no exception.

Even if the Ottomans directly agreed to the Slavs' annexation to Russia, one day in the future, the Tsar would definitely look for an opportunity to retake this significant city without hesitation.
