"Legal principles? Spain now knows how to talk about the legal principles of sovereignty. It's really childish. The fist is the legal principle. Isn't Spain unclear?"
Germany and France demonstrated this in Alsace and Lorraine, as did the war Spain lost to the United States, oh, by the way, and Gibraltar.”
Tangning snorted at Spain's so-called sovereignty jurisprudence.
In this world, it all depends on the fist. If the fist is big, it is right. If the fist is weak, it is wrong.
"Your Majesty, although what you said is correct, the European powers will not see Spain being surrounded by us and becoming a landlocked country."
Tony has no problem with His Majesty the Emperor's naked hegemonic behavior. On the contrary, he agrees with it.
However, hegemony is also relative. When a higher level of hegemony appears, Portugal's hegemony will be limited.
"Your Majesty, no matter it is Germany, France, Russia or the United Kingdom, they will all oppose it. Even Austria-Hungary and Italy, which have good relations with us, will not be happy to see it."
"I know this. No country in Europe wants Portugal to dominate the Imbian Peninsula, even countries with whom we have close relations.
Although the Imbilia Peninsula is lined with high mountains and has many dry soil areas, in any case, this peninsula looks similar to Italy. If you include the large number of rich mineral reserves and rich coal and iron resources, the Italian Peninsula cannot compare.
.
Although Spain is getting weaker and weaker, the European powers still hope that it can contain some of us. They will not sit back and watch us draw away the coastline, and will definitely intervene."
Portugal's most ideal situation is to turn Spain into a landlocked country, but Tang Ning knew that this was unrealistic and would be too difficult to achieve.
The reason why Italy can become a great power is not because it sits on the Italian Peninsula and is a large territorial country in Europe. (Except for Tsarist Russia, the territories of European countries are not very large.)
If Portugal turns Spain into a landlocked country and dominates the Imbilia Peninsula, the expansion of its power will be terrifying.
You must know that Brazil is far away from Portugal now, and Portugal is small, so it lacks the power to feed Portugal back, so its influence in Europe is not great. But after Portugal dominates the Imbilia Peninsula, it will be second-rate without the help of Brazil's power.
The great powers can speak throughout Europe, instead of being limited to the Imbrian Peninsula in Southern Europe and being unable to speak even in Southern Europe.
Portugal, which dominates the Imbilia Peninsula, together with Brazil, will have a great influence on Europe and will transform from a marginal role in Europe to one of the protagonists.
"I know what Spain is thinking right now. Their ambassador is probably working at full capacity at the moment, hoping that European countries will put pressure on our army and the Imbilia Allied Forces to withdraw from Murcia and Cantabria.
Spain will fully explain to European countries the harm of Portugal's control of Imbilia, showing that their existence can contain Portugal, and they eagerly expect European countries to help them preserve the legal and sovereign integrity of their subject, Castile."
"Yes, my wise majesty." Tony replied.
"Ambassadors of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stationed in various European countries have sent back information about what Spain is doing, and European countries are also contacting privately to prepare for unified actions to force us to withdraw from Murcia and Cantabria."
"We can't keep Murcia and Cantabria, but now we have the advantage. We are the host and the other is the guest in the negotiations.
Negotiation, negotiation, negotiation is about respective conditions.
Spain's bottom line is to keep the main body of Castile, and as for the rest, it is as much as it can make, and it is best to be able to nominally rule Navarre, Aragon, and Lusitalia."
Negotiation? Isn't it about taking as much advantage as you can while keeping the bottom line?
Although for Spain, no matter what the negotiation is, Spain will lose; but Spain's current strength can only be said to thank God for keeping the main body of Castile.
This world ultimately depends on fists. A hard fist means you are justified, a soft fist means you are guilty.
"Spain has Spain's negotiating conditions. As Portugal, as the dominant party, the current conditions can be changed while maintaining the bottom line."
"Your Majesty, what conditions are we going to change?"
While Tony was speaking, he took out his pen and notebook, ready to record His Majesty's opinions at any time.
"There is no need to hold referendums in Aragon, Navarre, and Lusitania. This is not Castilian territory in the first place, so there is nothing to vote for.
As for the independence that must be agreed upon by all European countries, Spain's idea is too beautiful. Is this a defeated country? What qualifications does Spain have to dictate the diplomacy and sovereignty jurisprudence of the ACP, Navarre, and Lusitalia?"
Spain, which is dominated by Castilians, although its ability to assimilate is not good, after all, there have been many Castilians in other regions for such a long time. Especially Lusitania, the last Castilians
The place of conquest, this fertile land, was home to a large number of Castilians.
Referendum, Spain is really a thief.
As long as a referendum is held, Downing can think of Spain's next possible tricks.
If any of the three regions fails to pass the referendum, it still belongs to Spain, and even if they all pass independence, there must be many areas in these three regions that are opposed to independence. When Spain has the operation, it can talk about partition independence.
.
Tangning was stupid enough to agree to the referendum, and the mainstream of the world, when has national sovereignty been subject to a referendum, Alsace, Lorraine, Hawaii, Schleswig, Hokkaido, etc., who has considered the feelings of the locals?
"Tony, now it seems that only our Portuguese Empire recognizes the independence of Lusitalia, Aragon, and Navarre."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Except for Luxembourg, which is united with us, no other European country recognizes it for the time being." Tony replied.
"This is not good. You should quickly ask our ambassadors in various countries to mobilize other countries to recognize it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Whether it is persuasion or money to buy recognition, you can mobilize as much as you can to create independent facts.
South America, Venezuela, Paraguay, and Ecuador, the three countries we influence, let them express their stance first, and other Latin American countries can be persuaded if they can. Those who are disobedient will make a list later.
Countries in Asia and Africa don't care about the situation in Europe. Many of them want to please us, so just provide direct inducements to these people.
Although Europe is not easy to deal with, the Netherlands, Italy, and Austria-Hungary can still solve it. Then the poor countries in the Balkans and the neutral countries in Northern Europe have little interest in the Imberian Peninsula. It is easy to convince them. You can talk about economy and military.
reciprocal exchanges.
Can Spain, a small country, influence as many countries as Portugal? Except for the great powers such as Britain, France, the United States, and Germany, there is nothing difficult to discuss with other countries."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do it."
"In terms of reparations, as long as Spain thinks clearly, these can be relaxed or even eliminated.
If Spain can happily recognize our sovereignty and the independence of the three regions, the compensation can be waived, and Murcia and Cantabria can also be returned. However, there is a condition for this return, that is, except for the police to maintain order, no one is allowed to
For troops stationed with more than 10,000 troops, the navy is not allowed to have ships larger than destroyers..."
Fifteen minutes later.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to add?" Tony asked dutifully.
"No more, that's all."
Just as Tangning said this, she suddenly thought of something important.
"By the way, I thought of a very important one.
There is no need for the name Kingdom of Spain to exist, because there has never been such a country.
In the Libyan Peninsula, there are only countries such as Portugal, Castile, Leon, and Aragon. The name Spain was officially born in 1878. This is naked heresy."
Tony naturally knew a lot about the history of Spain, Portugal's most important neighbor.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you remember correctly. There has never been a Kingdom of Spain in history, only the United Kingdom composed of Castile, Aragon and other countries.
It was not until 1874 that Queen Isabella II of Spain replaced her original lengthy title "Queen of Castile, Leon, Aragon..." with the singular noun "Spain".
."
The Kingdom of Spain never existed in history, never.
During the era of the Roman Republic and Empire, today's Spain was composed of several provinces under the empire at that time.
The land of the Imbilia Peninsula was incorporated into Rome in the early days of the Roman Empire and the end of the Roman Republic.
After the fall of Western Rome, the Imbilia Peninsula fell into a loose feudal state, with multiple kingdoms, principalities, lords and warlords coexisting until the Moors were able to unify again.
Charlemagne tried to annex Spain into the Frankish Empire but failed, and his nephew Roland even lost his life because he launched another expedition.
As a unified country, Spain was able to unify after the marriage of Ferdinand II and Isabella I, which united the three major powers on the Imbilia Peninsula - Leon, Castile and Aragon.
Spain.
Officially speaking, the word "Espa" for Spain did not officially appear in the title of the Bourbon monarch until 1837. Insabella II, who was reigning at that time, decided to replace her original lengthy title with "Spain"
"Queen of Castile, Leon, Aragon...". But it is worth noting that "Spain" at this time was a plural word in Latin - "Reina de las Espa"
”. Until 1874, Spain did not appear in the title of the Spanish royal family as a singular noun.
Although there were some references to using Spanish "Hispania" as the name of the kingdom before the 16th century, it was not official after all. It was sometimes used for the sake of simplicity.
"So, Spain is an illegal kingdom. What I want to do is to disband this illegal organization." Tangning awakened a certain G-spot and said excitedly.
Disbanding illegal organizations is super cool!
Napoleon dissolved the Austrian Habsburg Holy Roman Empire, then he, Emperor Pedro III, also wanted to dissolve the illegal organization of the Kingdom of Spain.
"Tell the Castilians not to negotiate with us without declaring the name of the Kingdom of Spain illegal.
Disbanding the Kingdom of Spain and returning everyone to their origins is the first condition of negotiation!"
