MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 73 mudanya b.

Decazes returned to the French embassy and began to spread the news in the country.

Alfonso's proposal is now not a simple purchase of warships, but the two sides divide their spheres of influence in North Africa.

McMahon, a typical military president, is particularly concerned about French revenge and expansion, so Spain's remarks should be considered a boost to McMahon.

Even if France expands alone, it still needs to win over the European powers. Even if the Spaniards don't mention this, Spain will also be an indispensable target to win over in the future expansion of France.

"Reply to Decaz, we agree to this condition, but we won't start action in a short time, so we must sign a treaty that can be used to protect."

McMahon immediately issued an order. This condition of the Spaniards was considered an additional condition for the purchase of the warship. McMahon was too lazy to compete with the Parliament now.

With his tough attitude, no one wanted to be the one who was beaten.

The news between Paris and Madrid was very fast. As far away as Decaz in Madrid, a telegram from Paris was received shortly after.

With a telegram in his hand, Decaz turned around again and headed to the Royal Palace of Madrid...

......

The deal between France and Spain in Madrid is unknown for the time being, and the situation between Ottoman and Russia is still tense.

August 13, 1876, Constantinople.

"In order to ease the increasingly tense situation in Russia and Turkey, we invite leaders of European countries to Constantinople to discuss the common source of the two sides in solving the problem."

"The turmoil in the Balkans needs to be resolved jointly by all European powers. Adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, we hope that practical issues can be resolved in the meeting."

"The United Kingdom will exclude Salisbury as a representative. For this reason, we invite Russia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and six countries to send representatives to participate in this meeting."

"The meeting will officially start on August 20. I hope you will come on time."

The British government has directly issued an invitation to European countries, which is the last step that can be done to solve the problem peacefully.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, we don't remember that your country notified us of this meeting, and our country cannot participate in this meeting."

The Ottoman Prime Minister Midhart Pasha went directly to the British Embassy in the Ottomans. This time the British did not inform them at all, which made the Prime Minister a little sad.

"This is a meeting for your country. I hope Ottoman will also send officials to talk. It will have a good result for Osman."

The British ambassador did not answer the reason why he did not discuss with the Ottomans. This is a battle between the great powers. It is already a toothless tiger, the Ottoman Empire, and it does not deserve to be taken seriously.

"Then our country refuses to participate in this meeting. This is unprovoked interference in our country's internal affairs. It is impossible for our country to recognize the legitimacy of this meeting."

Midhart Pasha directly rejected the British ambassador's statement, which was a complete disregard for Ottoman sovereignty.

"Master Prime Minister, I think you'd better accept this request. It's a good thing for Osman."

"If the Ottomans refuse to participate in this meeting, Her Majesty's Government will have to withdraw all support and assistance in the ensuing negotiations."

The British ambassador is almost a naked threat. Just like helping the Ottomans and the Spaniards to complete the arms purchase order not long ago, the Ottomans are now looking up to the British people's breath before they can survive.

"I think the Prime Minister can make the right choice.

Midhart Pasha stared closely at the British ambassador with a sneer in front of him, his fists in his sleeves clenched unconsciously, and the expressionless politician's face was even more solemn at this time.

The Ottoman Turkey, which has deterred Europe for hundreds of years, is now so helpless under the threat of the British.

Finally, Midhart Pasha's expression slowed down, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Osman will of course attend the meeting of British friends, and he will need a lot of help from His Excellency the Ambassador."

The fingernails under the sleeves had been pinched into the flesh, and the fists trembled slightly because of the force. It could be seen that this smiling prime minister was not really as comfortable as he appeared.

"That's natural. His Excellency Salisbury is the former Minister of Indian Affairs, and naturally he will fight for the benefits he deserves for Ottoman."

The British ambassador smiled lightly and was very satisfied with the attitude of the Ottomans.

Midhart Pasha smiled awkwardly, then turned around and walked out of the British embassy.

A feeling of sadness gradually spread out.

This meeting, hosted by the British, has a high possibility of turning the Ottomans into meat on the chopping board and being slaughtered by others.

In fact, Osman's strength is not so weak, but he is facing the Russians known as European road rollers.

The idea of ​​the Russians occupying Istanbul is unacceptable to any Turks~www.novelbuddy.com~ The situation between the two countries is almost endless. ·And now the only country that can maintain Ottoman's competitiveness is undoubtedly the British family. Ottoman is almost at the point where he can't lose her.

On the 13th of the announcement of the meeting, three warships from Barcelona also officially arrived in Mudanya Bay, about 10 kilometers away from Istanbul.

The British fleet deployed in the Black Sea was stationed here, and the three big Spanish ships drove into the middle of a group of British ships so brightly.

British Rear Admiral Welshland, the temporary commander of this fleet, was inexplicably excited when he saw the three ships that were about to be assigned to him.

The Spanish crew, in the following days, will be trained by them as a British navy, this is the order of the British high-level.

In other words, these three ships will completely belong to his soldiers in the following days.

"The Spaniards' ships are really big. These three ships should be Castile-class."

The adjutant of Welshland looked at the three behemoths in front of him and expressed his amazement. In fact, there are quite a few ships in the UK that can reach 10,000 tons.

Therefore, although the British Navy was amazed, it was not shocked. The confidence of a powerful naval power emerged spontaneously.

The commanders of the three warships have also disembarked, and under the leadership of the British navy, they came to the Welshland headquarters.

"Your Excellency Commander, Ledesma (Redondo) (Joao) will report to you!"

The three young men had high hopes to become the three captains of the Castile class, and this time their mission was also very clear, to bring the experience and advanced concepts of the British Navy to the Spanish Navy.

"Hello."
