MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 87 emergency note

"Holding a diplomatic conference, we will directly condemn the actions of the British, and then I will go back to contact the ambassadors of various countries and make every effort to gain international support."

Gorchakov instantly found a way to deal with it, and Alexander II nodded helplessly.

The two sides looked at each other, the helplessness in their eyes could be seen in each other, and the entire palace fell into silence.

"Your Majesty, the Spanish ambassador asked to see him and said that he has something important to discuss with us."

The guards who had just escorted the information came in again, this time he really showed a good face in front of the tsar.

"Let him in, we are just going to question him about something."

The anger that Alexander II had just subsided, once again showed signs of being ignited.

"Your Majesty the King, on behalf of King Alfonso XII of our country, I extend my greetings to His Majesty."

The Spanish ambassador, Salto, opened with polite diplomatic vocabulary.

"Tell me about your purpose. Your fleet is still in the territorial waters of the Russian Empire. Did you come here to ask us to pay compensation?"

Alexander II had put aside the so-called aristocratic etiquette and questioned Salto. The Spaniards had earlier announced that three Castile-class battleships would enter the combined fleet.

At this time, without the participation of the Spaniards, Alexander II would not have believed it.

"Your Majesty, I came here with my country's secret order. We do not intend to be an enemy of your country. In order to express our apology, this is our country's willingness to rely on your intelligence."

Looking at the angry tsar in front of him, Salto also knew that this incident had completely angered the tsar, so he went straight to the topic.

"Your Majesty, please see that our country has long expected the appearance of such a scene. No matter how the British act, we and the Spanish fleet have given orders to never fire at the Russians."

Listening to Salto's words, Alexander II's expression softened a little, but he was still bad.

"What else? You guys are involved in this matter. Is it just a secret order for us to forgive you?"

"Of course not, so our country has prepared another secret for your country."

Salto looked at the tsar in front of him calmly, and then began to speak again:

"Your Majesty, you actually don't know, this time the British invited us to cooperate, and never really meant to do anything to the Russian Empire.

"Their purpose is just to deter your country, hoping to take the opportunity to force your country to give up its attempt against the Ottomans."

In the final analysis, this matter is nothing but a deterrent action. In weak countries other than Europe, I don’t know how many countries have tried the British naval gun diplomacy.

It wasn't because of the identity of the great powers that the Russian Empire was the first. This was indeed something that was difficult for them to accept.

But Salto's remarks inexplicably gave Alexander II a sense of peace.

"If that's the case, what's the purpose of your visit this time?"

Alexander II asked Salto, if the Spaniards just came to tell them this information, it would mean nothing to Russia.

"Your Majesty, this time we are here just to seek your country's forgiveness. In order to show our sincerity, we can provide a batch of weapons to the rebels in Serbia and Bulgaria at a low price."

The implication is that it will sell a batch of weapons to the Slavs at a low price. This condition is actually just a normal arms purchase treaty. The purpose of Spain is nothing more than to give the Russians a step down.

If Russia's large arms purchase order is lost because of the British deterrent action, it will be a huge loss for Spain.

"Moreover, in order to express his apology, our Majesty will be responsible for the transportation of weapons. I wonder if this sincerity will impress the Russian Empire."

Salto's face project is good enough, even if Alexander II is unwilling, he is embarrassed to say more at this time.

Gorchakov, who was beside the tsar, nodded secretly, strengthening the power of the Balkan Slavs, which was much more cost-effective than having one more enemy.

"Yes, we accept your apology, but this kind of thing is not an exception, otherwise the Russian Empire will cancel all cooperation."

Alexander II said awkwardly. The person who just wanted to be beaten immediately became the guest of honor. Even Alexander II, who had been there for decades, didn't know how to deal with it.

"Of course, I hope your country can reduce its condemnation of our country. For the sake of friendship between the two countries, both of us should exercise restraint."

Salto said again, Spain doesn't want to be in the limelight in this kind of thing, the prestige of the British Empire is unmatched, so it is natural for him to come.

"We will meet the British ambassador immediately. The Russian Empire will not let it go easily this time."

Gorchakov said that he has already aimed at the British Empire.

In fact, the British will not counsel the Russians in all aspects. Before the crisis of the German-French war, the British in history did not make any concessions to the bears.

The two sides may drag on this matter for a few more months. It was not until the German-French war crisis in 1877 that Britain and Russia had a common goal of containing Germany, and the British finally compromised.

Tsarist Russia was also able to avenge the Ottomans, and the front was pushed to a distance not far from Constantinople.

But the funny thing is that when the Russians' dream was about to come true, the British teamed up with Austria-Hungary again, and the Russians lost everything.

Before the rise of Germany, Britain and Russia were arguably the biggest rivals, and the relationship between the two sides was not getting better. Both the government and the people regarded each other as enemies.

The Spaniards and the Russians, on the other hand, did not have much overlap. After the Spaniards had expressed their sincere attitude, it would not cause too bad influence.

The diplomatic note from the Russian government has not yet started, but the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol has received orders from St. Petersburg.

Seeing the urgent order in his hand, Ivanovic felt a little fortunate, but more of it was a sense of shame hidden in his heart.

Fortunately, his fleet did not need to be destroyed. It was a shame that he was blocked at the door of his house, but he couldn't fight back in an upright manner.

The strength of the Royal Navy is so powerful that it makes people feel hopeless. No matter how unwilling he is, it is for the orders of His Majesty and the lives of the soldiers.

Ivanovich ordered the fleet to start sailing out of the port.

This time their mission is not to fight the British, but to confront the British.

"Order all warships to set off to block the combined fleet..."

The battleship with black smoke gradually disappeared, and the mayfly shook the tree, which is probably the current scene.
