After receiving Elizabeth's reply, a telegram brought by the Tang consul in Spain, and a fund of 100,000 Tang yuan transferred by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on his behalf, Philip II looked unhappy.
He had previously expected that his daughter would not be able to give him much help. At least he did not expect that his daughter would help him by influencing Datang's decision-making. All he wanted was to lend him some money, not much, there was someone
Two to three million Tang Yuan is enough, and the interest will be based on the loan interest from the Royal Bank.
However, Elizabeth still didn’t borrow it!
Now, she only cares about herself and her son, and has no regard for her mother and her other brothers and sisters.
Once the Tatars really attack, if Spain cannot stop them, the entire royal family will be doomed!
For this reason, Philip II wrote again, this time his words were more sincere, even with a pleading tone, and the loan amount was reduced to one million Tang yuan.
But this time, he didn't even receive a reply to Elizabeth's message!
This married daughter looks unreliable.
Although disappointed and resentful, Philip II wrote for the third time. This time he did not mention borrowing money, but only wrote some trivial matters.
You can't borrow the money, but the relationship still needs to be maintained.
Just in case, if the Spanish royal family really encounters a crisis of destruction in the future, he will still have to rely on Datang to save him, and how to get Datang to save him, Elizabeth is the key.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty officials knew about the connection between Elizabeth and Philip II, because the news was transmitted through the communication channels of the Tang Dynasty Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Philip II's letter to Elizabeth was actually sent via radio communication from the European Affairs Office of the Tang Dynasty.
Since the wireless telegraph was successfully developed and put into practical use, the Tang Empire has been mass-producing open-type wireless telegraphs to equip official agencies and military institutions. Although the current output is still relatively low, some important institutions have received priority.
Basically, there will be at least one large-scale wireless telegraph in every overseas region to actually get in touch with the mainland. The Datang European Affairs Office, the Red Sea Affairs Office, the African Affairs Office, and several important provinces in the Americas. In addition, the Navy is stationed in
Foreign bases, such as Ceylon Military Base, Ceuta Military Base, New South Military Base, etc.
At present, the wireless telegraphy of the Datang Empire prioritizes the equipment of various important points to form a global communication network. Combined with wired telegraphy, the Tang Dynasty can barely achieve global communication network coverage.
European affairs can be telegraphed back to Jinling on the same day.
This is why the Tang Empire is currently able to respond promptly to overseas affairs.
In the past, if something happened in Europe, even with the navy's most advanced steam communication ships, it would take several days to send the news back to the mainland.
But since the advent of the telegraph, messages have been transmitted very quickly.
Through the telegraph lines provided by the Tang Dynasty, Philip II was able to communicate easily with his children.
As the Tang officials, they naturally knew exactly what was said between them.
However, the Tang Dynasty officials did not interfere in any way, and did not even react to it.
One hundred thousand Tang Yuan, this did not affect the Tang Empire's policies in Europe, and they even took the initiative to help transfer the one hundred thousand funds.
In fact, even if the number were larger, Datang officials would not care, and would even support it, because Datang officials originally planned to support Spain.
The Tatars took France, which was allowed by the empire.
But Spain is not within the scope allowed by the empire for the time being.
After the Tatars captured France, they would be able to have a large area of territory to settle their people, and in this way they could hand over a large amount of Eastern Europe to the Tang Dynasty.
But if the Tatars now capture Spain in addition to France, then the subsequent situation will not be so easy to control. There is no guarantee that these Tatars will have inappropriate thoughts.
Even if the empire is not afraid that the Tatars will have inappropriate thoughts, it is better to do less than to do more!
Therefore, supporting the Spanish to build the Great Wall of Spain and keeping the Tatars out of Spain was something the Tang Empire had decided before.
Otherwise, no military advisers would have suggested building a defense line, sold a batch of materials for building a defense line to Spain, and even expedited the transportation of weapons and ammunition previously ordered by Spain.
If the Tang Dynasty did not want to support Spain, it would simply delay the delivery of the weapons sold to them for several months without doing anything, and Spain would be finished.
However, the empire will not do such a thing.
The Golden Kingdom of Tatar also sensed the temper of the Tang Empire. They knew that the Tang Empire did not want Spain to be destroyed, so they simply did not even plan to continue going south to attack Spain, but focused their main energy on
Taking control of a large area of French land, he sent a large army to surround Paris, preparing to take down Paris, a city that said it would never surrender.
Under this circumstance, the situation in Europe seems to be turbulent, but in fact it has calmed down.
France was completely finished, and the Tatars gained large areas of France.
Spain still has no problem protecting itself, but it is impossible to prevent its troops from counterattacking the Tatars.
On the other hand, Allman has been in some trouble recently.
As the Tatars began to evacuate from Eastern Europe, a new problem arose here, that is, as the Tatars gradually evacuated, the Tatars' strategic focus has completely shifted from the eastern front to the western front, and even the Balkans
The peninsula voluntarily gave up.
Well, these places can't be kept in the future anyway, they will all be given to the Tang people. It's better to just give them up now and break away from contact with the Ormans.
This also created some problems for the Tang Empire. Should they send troops in advance to accept it, or should Orman recover a large part of the Balkan Peninsula?
In this regard, after fifteen minutes of discussion, the cabinet officially decided: No!
The empire's expansion in Europe still strictly follows the gradual expansion plan formulated previously. In the short term, the empire's expansion on the Western Front will only be limited to Ukraine and Lithuania.
No other places for now.
For this reason, the empire officially notified the Tatars: they are not allowed to evacuate from the Balkans in advance and will wait for a while.
The Tatars are also very helpless about this!
However, although the evacuation has been stopped, the fighting will definitely not continue. The Tatars do not even bother to station too many troops in the southeast region, but have adopted a policy of shrinking their troops.
This allowed the Orman Kingdom to see an opportunity and actually launched a counterattack!
