"Peace talks? If there are peace talks, how can we show Portugal's sovereignty over Hisputin? There has never been any Uruguay.
The so-called Uruguay is a small group of rebels who coerced ignorant people to establish a pseudo-regime. If the UK hadn't intervened, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Rebels in West Spouting, you are just waiting for the Portuguese cannon to come to your doorstep and send you to the sky, we will let you know what the price of hypocrisy and loyalty is!"
Portuguese Deputy Foreign Minister Takagi Doohuan said in an emotional interview with a reporter from The Times.
"Good, very spirited. This is the temperament Portugal should have when dealing with the outside world." Tangning Pedro expressed his affirmation after seeing news reports showing the domineering attitude of Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel during interviews.
"When faced with difficulties from foreign powers, we should be tough. Our Portuguese Empire has this strength. Don't be submissive. In the international community, the weak will prey on the strong. If you are weak, you will get fewer benefits."
Pedro said seriously to Simpson, the second foreign minister who succeeded Tony.
"Hisputin has been an integral part of our Portugal since ancient times. Any country that says yes to Uruguay will be regarded as a challenge to Portugal's sovereignty.
Simpson, your Ministry of Foreign Affairs has decided to be tougher on all countries in the world, especially the UK, and ask them to stop being evil, otherwise we will break off diplomatic relations with them.
I don’t believe that there are several countries in the world that dare to go against our country, Portugal, just for Uruguay. Are there any morals or ethics for each and every one of them, ignoring historical facts and pretending to be justice?”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Simpson shouted.
"Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take more severe measures to make countries around the world correctly understand Portugal's legal principles towards Hisputin."
Since Portugal broke through the boundary river defense line in one day and pushed the defense line from Negro-Grande to Yin River-Grande, many countries were uneasy, among which Britain and Argentina were the most nervous.
Argentina is nervous because the existence of Uruguay highly overlaps with its own national security.
The reason why Britain was nervous was, of course, that Portugal was about to deviate from Britain's balanced policy, and the level of war exceeded Britain's expectations.
When Portugal was crushing Spain, Britain thought Spain was too bad and was torn apart internally, so Portugal's combat power was only average.
But after Portugal beat Uruguay, Britain thought its judgment was right.
Portugal mobilized its national troops to attack Uruguay, but was badly beaten on the Negro-Grande defense line.
This level of performance was not as good as the British level in the Boer War. Just when the British believed that Uruguay would drag Portugal into the quagmire of war just like the Boer War.
As a result, Portugal spent one day telling the world that Portugal's great powers had no gold content.
Argentina and Brazil are mainly bounded by rivers. Although the two countries share a long border, Argentina is also a large territorial country with its core far away from the border.
Uruguay is an important barrier for Argentina, sandwiched between Brazil and Argentina. There is only a thin line between Uruguay and the Argentine capital, and it is standardly close to the core of Argentina.
If Uruguay is destroyed, Portugal will be able to turn its guns on Argentina's core. If a war begins between the two countries, Argentina will suffer a lot of losses and carry a huge burden.
Under this situation, no matter how much Britain supports Argentina, it cannot make up for this shortcoming. Therefore, Britain now needs to use methods other than war to save Uruguay.
War cannot be used. What Britain can only use is economy and public opinion. Pedro is not afraid of these things in Britain.
Although Britain is the world's hegemon, it does not have the size that the United States did in later generations to occupy a huge share of the world. Without British economic exchanges, some great powers would take over.
The so-called economic sanctions imposed by the UK are actually just a show of poking fun at Portugal. After all, Portugal is such a big market and the UK cannot give up.
In terms of public opinion, the UK is of course the strongest, but it cannot control everything with one hand.
In later generations, Britain's strongest point was its advantage in public opinion. What's the use of that? It had to cooperate with the United States to gain momentum.
The best way to deal with public opinion is to go straight to the bottom and silence them through practical means.
It is most appropriate to threaten Britain by severing diplomatic relations. If Portugal has a stalemate with Britain, it is likely that the domestic market and even the political team will further favor the Allies.
Today's world is the best of times and the worst of times.
Great powers dominate the world, and weak countries are dominated. The confrontation between the two major military groups is a nightmare for weak countries and an opportunity for the rise of some secondary powers.
The main game is Portugal in South America, far away from the quagmire of Europe. Under the excellent matching mechanism in South America, if you manage your relationship with the great powers well, you will be basically invincible in killing.
With Portugal's diplomatic announcement to countries around the world, the interest in the Uruguay war has greatly diminished. Except for some righteous people who have spoken out for Uruguay, the mainstream has chosen not to see it.
The UK has done a very good job in this regard. Except for some small left-wing tabloids, all major domestic newspapers have banned discussion of the Uruguay War.
Today's British newspapers are reporting on Britain's handover of the St. Vincent-class strategic ship to Portugal and singing praises of the friendship between Britain and Portugal.
"Mary, you see Britain is so shameless. Being an ally with Britain is the most dangerous thing. You don't even know when it will be sold out."
Pedro was not happy at all about receiving the British strategic ship.
To return the friendship between Britain and Portugal, Britain tricked Portugal, an old ally of hundreds of years. How could Britain be so merciful?
The British strategic ship was actually supposed to be delivered a year ago. However, the British side declined in various ways, saying that upgrading would be troublesome and took time, but refused to deliver the goods.
t, the Navy Ministry believes that the warships are relatively backward and need to be upgraded. As the emperor, Pedro III certainly hopes to get advanced warships.
So I added an additional 500,000 pounds to upgrade, and later the UK asked for another 100,000 pounds. Later, the delivery time was delayed again and again.
The Hegoland-class strategic ship that Germany helped Portugal build was also upgraded during production, but they submitted it a year and a half earlier than the UK.
What is the level of shipbuilding in Germany? What is the level of shipbuilding in the UK? The same thing is upgrading. The UK actually takes so long to build it. What the hell is Pedro thinking?
Although the St. Vincent-class battleships are said to be advanced battleships, they are actually a trap. Portugal was actually deceived.
The St. Vincent class was the product of a reluctant 1907 naval budget.
This class of ship is an improved version of the Bellerophon-class battleship. It is difficult to distinguish it from the Bellerophon-class battleship in appearance. The main difference is the use of a 12-inch/50 times caliber main gun to increase the power of the artillery, but the shooting accuracy and body
The tube life was poor and the effect was not ideal. The number of secondary guns was increased to 20, and the hull length and displacement were slightly increased. The hull armor distribution was appropriately adjusted to reduce the thickness of the stern armor belt.
The construction of the St. Vincent class started in December 1907 and was completed in May 1909. It participated in the Battle of Jutland in World War I. The "Vanguard" was damaged in an ammunition depot explosion in Scapa Flow on July 9, 1917.
The rest were demolished in 1921 and 1922 after the war.
Tangning Pedro is a time traveler and a military enthusiast, but his military preference is the Army, so he unknowingly stepped into a huge pit.
Even if the St. Vincent-class strategic ship was upgraded due to the advice of the Admiralty, in essence, the British know how to transform it. It is very likely that the medicine will be changed without changing the medicine.
