MTL - Restart Spain-Chapter 89 confrontation and note

, the fastest update to restart Spain's latest chapter!

In the early morning of September 2, 1876, one northeast of the Black Sea.

The Combined Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet, already at a visible distance from each other, will be within the range of the Castile-class 343mm caliber guns in a single step.

The speed of the fleets on both sides also decreased slowly, avoiding further contact.

On the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet Moscow, Ivanovich, holding a telescope, looked solemnly at the huge fleet in the distance.

"Send a reconnaissance ship and send a message to the other side to stop advancing and start retreating, otherwise the Russian Empire will see them as an act of aggression."

Shen Sheng gave orders to his subordinates, and Ivanovich knew that there was absolutely no possibility of victory on the frontal battlefield, and that the results that were incapable of achieving on the battlefield could only delay the government.

On the flank of the Black Sea Fleet, a small and fast reconnaissance ship quickly sailed towards the combined fleet in the distance.

The two fleets cannot communicate through telegrams, and can only communicate through this relatively primitive method.

"They're here, tell the fleet to stay alert and see what they're up to."

Wolfgang, Commander of the Combined Fleet on the Queen Isabella, put down the telescope in his hand and said to his assistant.

The lion fights the rabbit and uses all his strength to underestimate the enemy, at least it will not happen to the combined fleet.

The soldiers of the Combined Fleet returned to their combat posts one after another, and they were astonishingly efficient as they were training.

The three battleships of the Castile class, with the Spanish navy soldiers on them, also showed an efficiency no less than that of the British navy soldiers.

The training of the British still showed the effect. Before that, the Spanish navy soldiers were far less professional and spiritual than they are now.

For these soldiers, their primary purpose was to learn, after learning from the British experience, to spread throughout the Spanish navy.

In order to improve the combat literacy of the entire navy.

Once the sun never sets the Imperial Armada, has been completely sunk in Gravolina in 1588.

Not only the fleet itself was lost, but almost all of the surviving Armada soldiers died of scurvy after returning to Spain.

So for active Spanish naval soldiers, pursuing the glory of their ancestors is what they need to accomplish.

As the reconnaissance ship gradually got closer, the outline of the combined fleet had completely shocked several Russian navy members on the boat.

"Semaphore, let them go back the same way."

The captain of the small ship issued an order, and the two armies would not be able to fight. Even if they were shocked by the size of the combined fleet, they could not change their positions directly.

The crew quickly took out the naval flag and sent an international common signal towards the combined fleet in the distance.

"Commander, they asked us to retreat, what should we do."

Ledesma, who was holding a telescope, turned his head and said to Wolfgang.

"Don't worry about them, go forward left, bypass them, and wait for domestic orders."

"Once they attack first, sink them into the sea."

Wolfgang directly ordered that he didn't want to pay attention to political matters, but she wouldn't let the group of politicians who only clamored to intervene in military matters.

"Queen Isabella" sounded the semaphore to turn to the left, ignoring the reconnaissance ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

The combined fleet's direction of travel gradually changed, and the huge fleet began to make a U-turn towards the left front of the original driving direction, avoiding the Russian Black Sea Fleet that was blocking the road.

The reconnaissance ship quickly turned back upon seeing this.

At the same time, the Black Sea Fleet looked at Ivanovich, who turned to the Combined Fleet, with a solemn expression.

"Notify the fleet that they are blocking their way and cannot let them continue."

The Black Sea Fleet drove directly in the direction of the Combined Fleet, and taking a step back would be too close to the Russian mainland. Even if Ivanovich died in battle, he would not be able to stand this insult.

The drama of the double anti-fleet gradually became fierce, and the artillery had all been set up and aimed at the enemy fleet.

As long as the domestic order comes, it is estimated that the artillery battle between the two sides will start directly.

And controlling all this is naturally the negotiating table in St. Petersburg.

Dufferin, the British ambassador to Russia, attended the diplomatic note initiated by Russia on behalf of the British government.

Accompanying him was Salto, the Spanish ambassador to Russia.

On behalf of the Russians, it was Russian Prime Minister Gorchakov.

"Your Excellency Dufferin, your country has entered our country's Black Sea territorial waters without authorization. Are you preparing to become an enemy of the Russian Empire?"

Gorchakov bluntly said that since he learned about the true purpose of the British from the Spanish ambassador Salto, he has already known the bottom in his heart.

"Please give us a perfect explanation from your country, it is impossible for the Russian Empire to accept such an insult."

Gorchakov's entire face has completely lost expression, and his tone is more serious than before. The most serious anger is actually no emotional fluctuations. The prime minister will express his emotions perfectly.

"There is no international law that defines the maritime boundary between your country and the Ottoman Empire. We do not recognize the intrusion of your country's territorial waters into your country's territorial waters."

With a calm smile, Dufferin drank a sip of English tea gracefully, perfectly showing the appearance of an English gentleman.

Gorchakov frowned. In a place so close to Russia's southern territory, it has actually been tacitly regarded as Russia's territorial waters by various countries, but there is indeed no treaty that stipulates this aspect.

"Are all people in the British Empire so arrogant? I think who does this water belong to? All European countries have acquiesced to Russia. No country has ever signed a treaty in this area before."

The purpose of the British was to keep them from interfering in Ottoman affairs. The Spaniards had already sold all the underpants that the British secretly sold before the diplomatic note began.

Gorchakov's performance at this time is nothing more than wanting to end this matter decently, quietly waiting for the outbreak of the second round of the German-French war crisis.

"But the British never recognized this as Russian territorial waters."

"Including the Spaniards, the Germans, the French, no country has ever recognized it, how can it be called justified?"

Dufferin said with confidence, he didn't care about the Russians' excuses~www.novelbuddy.com~ This world is the world where the strong speak.

The British Royal Navy can be invincible, and naturally it will not let what has been done be lost on the negotiating table.

"Then your country is determined to challenge our sovereignty? If so, then I think we have nothing to say. The Russian Empire is not afraid of any challenge."

Gorchakov looked at Dufferin who was confident, and when he already knew the other party's purpose, Dufferin's actions at this time even made him want to laugh.

It's as if at the poker table, your opponent's hole cards have been seen by you, but your opponent is unaware of the performance.

"Of course not."

Dufferin put down the teacup he had prepared to drink, and slowly stated the conditions of the British.

"The British Empire has never thought of becoming an enemy of the Russian Empire, but your country's actions against the Turks have seriously violated our country's interests."

"We ask your country to withdraw from Turkey."
