"I want gibraltarian, can you give it to me?" Li Zitao said a word, let the negotiation get stuck.
The eternal pain in the Spanish heart.
After Spain's invincible fleet was defeated, this route, known as the lifeline of world shipping, lost its strategic significance and belonged to the British.
On both sides of the island are Spain and Morocco, all of whose territory belongs to Spain, but not to them.
The real ownership of gibraltarian is in the hands of the port of gibraltarian.
On any strategic map, it is Britain, not Spain, which owns the territory on both sides of the Strait.
The civil war has been going on for half a year from the beginning to the present. At first, the British helped the Republic to blockade the Strait of gibraltarian.
However, after Germany and Italy joined the war, their attitude became more and more tough, and more and more aid was provided, the British began to act as blind.
You can die, as long as I have gibraltarian in my hands.
In order to prevent the British from being forced to take part in the war, it was a good idea to sell the British people. Neither Germany, Italy nor Franco wanted to fight the port of gibraltarian.
The German dwarf is afraid of forcing Britain and France to take the lead in attacking. Now Germany is not ready, and his heart is also afraid of the majesty left by Britain and France in the past.
To paralyze the enemy is the most favorable situation for Germany now, so that those "romantic" French people who are intoxicated with life and death can continue their romantic affairs.
Let the British who like to imagine the invincible empire of the sun continue to immerse themselves in their dreams. This is the situation that dwarfs most want to see.
Mussolini also did not want to annoy the Englishman. It has to be said that there is still a residual power in England during this period, and no one wants to really provoke it.
Besides, after the war in East Africa, the British have always been very proud of the fact that they did not blockade gibraltarian. Mussolini naturally wanted to give some face to him.
Franco would like to take back gibraltarian. It should be said that every Spaniard wants to realize this dream.
But even if he was given ten guts, he would not dare to provoke the English unless he wanted to die himself.
The same thing applies to the government of the Republic, which has no right to give it to Li.
Not to mention that both the north and the south of gibraltarian are under the control of the rebels. Even if he had the courage to promise, he could not do it!
"Charlie, you should be very clear about the situation in gibraltarian. We..." the representative also wanted to continue. Li Zitao raised his hand and interrupted his speech.
"I am very clear about the problem of the port of gibraltarian. What I want is Cheddar on the west of the north bank and on the south bank, not to mention that it does not belong to Spain."
Within the territory of Spain, the eastern part of the north bank is an arc-shaped harbor, which is the British port of gibraltarian, which is also the main force controlling it.
The British troops stationed 20000 elite soldiers, 40 ships of various types of battle lines and destroyers, and built sea blockhouses along the only way out of the port.
Cheddar, on the other side of it, is a sharp corner to the east of Morocco, a colony in the West.
Although it also has certain restrictions on the Strait of gibraltarian, Britain, which has battleships and naval bunkers, is the real master.
Moreover, under the pressure of Britain, the Spaniards did not set up guns, ships, etc. in cheuta, let alone the fortress on the sea that directly controlled the Strait.
To give or not, on behalf of the face struggling to think.
With the existence of cheddar, Spain can still find some sense of existence and comfort on the issue of Gibraltar.
If even Cheddar is lost, then from now on, gibraltarian will really no longer belong to Spain, and they will not even have the right to pretend to be a tiger.
"Here you are." When you say this answer, you almost break your teeth.
"Can you be the Lord?" Li Zitao looks at him unexpectedly, a little uncertain asks a way.
"Yes, before I came, I got the order from the president that anything else could represent the Republic as long as it was not traitorous."
There is a trace of bitterness in the corner of the representative's mouth. What's the difference between what he is doing now and betraying his country? It's just that there is an extra layer of cover up. Nominally, these places still belong to them.
But he was also clear in his heart that if he did not comply with the request of the Chinese, and the Republic would soon disappear, what's the meaning of who he belonged to?
"In addition, Spain's gold reserves will be deposited in CblA and Morocco's currency issuance rights will also be available." Hearing Li Zitao's new demands again, the representative immediately clenched his fist and stood up. His body trembled slightly with his angry breath.
"Charlie, you're asking too much. It's just unknown now. Unless you can make sure that the victory belongs to us, this is the end of the conversation."
Looking at the other party's affectation, Li Zitao leaned back and said carelessly, "who can be sure that the victory will not belong to the Republic?"
The representative, who was just angry and shivering, immediately calmed down and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened. He also picked up the cold tea and sipped it."If you can do what you say, there's no problem with it!" Representative is like suddenly from a shrew to a lady, calm and calm said.
"Do you have the documents with you?" Hearing the other party's reply so readily, Li Zitao guessed that the other party might have thought of his possible request.
The representative nodded heavily. As expected, Manuel had planned for the worst.
Manuel's decision was made not only by the current unfavourable situation, but also by information he had learned through secret channels.
Franco has secretly left Morocco to meet with the dwarf in Germany. The two sides will reach further cooperation, and he will get the full support of the dwarf.
At the same time, Mussolini, the Italian dictator, had the same intention that Franco's aid from the two countries would be more than just ammunition and money.
There are also elite troops of the two countries, who will directly intervene in the war situation.
These news make Manuel make such a decision. In any case, he should strive for new strength to maintain the balance between the two sides, and even turn defeat into victory.
As for whether the aegis Bureau has this strength, the Republic's domestic department is skeptical.
But it doesn't matter!
If they were defeated, they would have nothing, the Republic would disappear, and the promises they made would not count. They would have lost nothing.
If it is successful, what if we throw out the chicken rib gibraltarian and lose the right to issue currency in the colony.
With the colonial economy in exchange for strong allies, in the changing situation in the European continent, this account is a profit or loss, only the parties can distinguish clearly.
