The Cuban rebellion was single-handedly jumped by the British, and even the Vienna government, which was not very attentive, could find out, and the Spaniards naturally could not have been unaware.

However, at this point, the Spanish government could do nothing but scold the British for not doing anything.

The rules of the game are like this, even if you want to "protest", you have to come up with evidence first.

The British are experienced in this kind of thing, how can they leave obvious evidence and give people a handle?

No evidence is not a big problem, as long as it is determined that the British did it, the Spaniards can secretly retaliate.

If you have no evidence and no strength, you can only suffer this dumb loss.

Obviously, this is not something that the Spanish government is willing to accept. In order to seek help from the international community and put diplomatic pressure on the British, Spanish diplomats were once again busy.

……

"The Spaniards are asking for help again!"

Franz frowned.

In a sense, the interaction between countries is similar to the interaction between human relations. Only when there are friends who have contacts and can bring benefits to each other, can the relationship be good for a long time.

Pure unilateral help, the first time I estimated that many people were willing to help, the second time I felt bored, and the third time it was almost cold.

Favors can be exhausted, let alone between countries.

In the previous Philippine War, the Vienna government went far beyond what it had promised to the Spanish government.

The return did not wait, but the Spanish government came to the rescue again, and Franz can imagine his mood.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg: "The situation facing the Spanish government is very bad. Because of the war, the Spanish government was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was only with great difficulty that the Philippine Islands were recovered, and the Cuban rebellion was encountered. To make matters worse, behind the Cuban independence movement, the shadow of the British appeared.

Spain did not have the confidence to compete with the British, and they had no better choice than to ask for help from the international community. ”

In this world of the jungle, weakness is the original sin.

Although Spain was also one of the great powers, parallel imports were parallel imports, and many countries no longer recognized their status as great powers after the Philippine War.

Perhaps the Cuban independence movement was just a casual move by the British government, but the Spaniards did not dare to ignore it.

I can't resist it myself, and the best choice to counteract the pressure of the British is naturally to ask the boss for help.

The Spanish Government has every reason to believe that the British Government will abandon its support for the Cuban Independence Organization as soon as the European Union intervenes, just as it would sit back and watch Japan abandon the Philippine Islands.

"How is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared to respond?"

Franz asked.

The boss is not easy to be. Whether you are impatient or not, when things come, you can't pass the buck.

Just dealing with these troublesome things also requires skill. We must pay attention to protecting the interests of the younger brothers, and not let the younger brothers chill; And you can't blindly accommodate and fall into passivity.

Obviously, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has more experience in this area. I deal with all kinds of troubles every day, and the way to deal with them has long been clear.

Foreign Secretary Wesenberg: "The Foreign Office believes that it can provide Spain with limited support, namely, guarantees that the British will not be directly involved in the Cuban independence movement.

If Spain wanted more, then it would have given direct evidence that the British were plotting the Cuban independence movement, or to convince the countries of the Union.

As long as all the countries of the continent agree, we can also do another international intervention. ”

Unlike the Philippine War, the Vienna government promised during the war against France that the Cuban independence movement would not be within the scope of the agreement.

Since there is no agreement, it can only be "business". Able to provide limited support and fend off the pressure of the British, the Vienna government has fulfilled its boss duty.

Sending troops to help suppress the rebellion is a joke. I can't even handle my own housework, and I'm embarrassed to take it out and be embarrassed.

The colony is not a native land, and according to the current rules of the game, if you can't keep it, you should give it up, and you don't even want to get sympathy points.

As for the international interference in the future, it is more like a pie that "you can see, but you can't eat".

The British are not the soft persimmons of Japan.

There was no pressure on the European countries to deal with Japan, an indigenous country that had no sense of existence, and seeing that several major countries in the alliance supported the intervention, everyone was happy to sell Spain a face.

The British were different, and although Britain had lost its voice in Europe, the Royal Navy still dominated the world.

All countries can personally feel the strength of the British, and if they want them to support them spiritually and condemn them verbally, there is no problem, and everyone will not be afraid of them.

If we really let everyone directly confront the British, or even intervene with arms, that is: "cough, cough, cough", we are not feeling well and go first.

Not to mention the European countries, even the Vienna government was afraid of the British.

Unless Spain gets the evidence, as the boss, he must come forward, or the Vienna government is also unwilling to confront the British because of this little thing.

Even if the Spanish government did everything it could, the Russians would have the best of hope, or the only way to convince them.

Nicholas II, who had just succeeded to the throne, was about to do something "big" and should not mind confronting the British.

There will be a war between Britain and Russia, and the day of the construction of the Central Asian railway will be doomed.

"The enemy of the enemy is the friend", and if Spain had the courage to ally with the Russians against the British, the tsarist government would definitely vote for it within the alliance.

Then, there is no then. The Russian Navy was limited in strength and had no ability to intervene; The tsarist government was so poor that it was tinkling, cheering for a top two, and the actual help was infinitely close to zero.

After a little thought, Franz said slowly: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can arrange for people to receive them normally." By the way, tell the Spanish Prime Minister that I am on vacation and do not have time to meet him now. ”

Clearly, Franz acquiesced in the approach of the Foreign Ministry. Cuba and the HRE Empire have nothing to do with each other, and if Cuba is really broken and international sugar prices rise, maybe he will be able to charge a little more tariffs.

In recent years, the noble lords have not been in vain, and one plantation after another has come into being, and all kinds of cash crops are basically complete.

If you look at international trade, we can see that HRE has long been in a super position, and a large part of the reason is that while exporting industrial and commercial products, it can be self-sufficient in industrial raw materials.

There is not enough interest trend, and on the Cuban issue, Franz naturally looks at the excitement and does not think it is a big deal.

From the standpoint of the Vienna government, as long as the British did not personally go out to rob Cuba, the Vienna government could watch the excitement.

Cuban independence is not a problem, anyway, the colonies under the HRE flag do not have the basis for the outbreak of national independence movements.

If there was really a wave of colonial independence, it would be the British who should have a headache, and if they didn't add fuel to the fire, they would be worthy of Spain.

If Spain is able to suppress the rebellion, it doesn't matter. The Anglo-Western contradiction has added to the problem, which is conducive to the growth of international anti-British forces.

By the way, it can also help digest the ammunition stockpile. Free ammunition treatment during the Philippine War, that is already history, is now charged.

No money, don't be afraid.

HRE has the most professional banking and finance team, which specializes in providing this kind of international loan service for international friends who need funds.

As long as you have enough collateral, you can borrow as much as you want. Even for the sake of friendship between the two countries, they can also win the most favorable loan interest rate.

The prerequisite is that you want to specify the purchase of a portion of your inventory.

……

London, Downing Street.

"What's going on, haven't we stopped the operation?"

Robert Cecil asked dissatisfied.

The London government supported the Cuban independence movement, but it was based on the fact that the war in the Philippines was still going on, and it was done in order to help reduce the pressure on the Japanese.

With the mutual compromise between Japan and Spain, the Philippine War ended ahead of schedule, and the belated Cuban independence movement had lost its original value.

As the world's largest colonial empire, it is not in Britain's interest to stir up a national independence movement in the long run.

Although John Bull likes to do things that harm others and are not beneficial to himself, this kind of thing that may harm his own interests in the future is generally rarely done.

Therefore, after the Philippine negotiations reached an agreement, Robert Cecil decisively ordered the operation to be terminated.

Foreign Secretary Cameron McCarton explained: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we do not have full control over the Cuban Independence Organization.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the negotiations between Japan and Spain, we reduced our support for independent organizations, and immediately after the negotiations ended, we completely terminated the aid.

But by that time they had returned to Cuba to carry out their independence movement, and we had essentially lost control over them.

According to the insider report, there are other international forces behind the Cuban independence movement.

Both the Union and the United States were suspected, but they were so secretive that the Cuban independence organization itself did not know who was supporting them. ”

Cameron McCarton is also helpless, it is really not that he is a dereliction of duty as foreign secretary.

The independence movement is not a child's house, once it starts, it is not something that can be stopped if you want to.

The Spaniards are not stupid, and no matter how secretive the actions of the independent organization are, the clues will be revealed over time.

The British didn't care, even if the Spaniards were exposed, they couldn't do anything with them. The Cuban independence organization is not good, even if the top can run, what if it is already in the middle and lower levels?

Once caught by the Spaniards, it will be "brought out of the mud with turnips", and the entire independent organization will be devastated.

I've reached the edge of the cliff, and I can't even start it if I don't want to.

At the same time, a new international figure emerged, taking the role of the British and providing material assistance to the independent organization.

The top brass of the Cuban independence organization was so concerned that they simply stud directly. The vigorous Cuban independence movement thus began.

"Damn American idiots, don't you know they're playing with fire! Dare to let the empire carry the black cauldron, it is simply ......"

Obviously, Prime Minister Robert Cecil was blown up. Not to mention the black cauldron for others, the key is that I don't know who the black cauldron is carried for.

Even if the evidence is found now, Robert Cecil will not believe it. Relying on the relationship between the United States and the Union Powers, it is too common to design and frame each other.

From the beginning of the Civil War, there was not a day that they did not stab each other. Watching the excitement and eating American melons has become a part of the daily life of the British.

I don't know who did it, so the British government will repudiate this black pot. Even if Robert Cecil publicly declared that it had nothing to do with them, no one would believe it.

After venting his anger, Prime Minister Robert Cecil, who had calmed down, fell into deep contemplation.

Politics is black and white, only about the pros and cons.

Knowing that he is behind the blame, in the context of not being able to clear his suspicions, the British government cannot let it go. Especially in the context of the note that has just been received from the Government of Vienna.

Otherwise, it would have become: Britain was afraid of the Holy Roman Empire, and a note would have made them abandon the Cuban Independence Organization.

Sometimes rumors can kill people. Don't look at the Anglo-Austrian relationship on the surface, it seems that the relationship between Britain and Austria is not bad, but in fact, the two countries have engaged in countless secret wars around the struggle for hegemony.

At such a critical juncture, the slightest hint of weakness in Britain would trigger a chain reaction in the international community.

The European "wallgrass", which was originally forced to stand with HRE due to geographical factors, is likely to make up its mind to join the side of the winner.

If it happens, then there's no need to say anything. The HRE Empire, which has integrated the European continent, is absolutely invincible, and it is useless for Britain to struggle no matter how much it struggles.

At that time, the British government has only two ways: either take advantage of the doubts of European countries and strike first and vigorously fight with the HRE; Or obediently cede world hegemony.

Obviously, none of this is what Robert Cecil wants. If it could really be fought, Britain would have ended up in the anti-French war, and it would not have been possible to wait until now.

It is even more impossible to cede world hegemony. If he really flinched on this, he would be beaten to death by the angry "populace" before he could get out of Downing Street.

"To restore support for the Cuban Independence Organization, we need to find out who is behind it, and I want to know who is so bold and dares to calculate Britain.

Send people to make secret contact with the Spanish government, and as long as they are willing to withdraw from the continental alliance, we will stop supporting independent organizations and support them in suppressing the Cuban rebellion.

By the way, knock on the Netherlands and Portugal, they have recently become so close to Vienna that they have almost forgotten who is the master of this world. ”

The black pot cannot be carried in vain, and the maximization of interests is a must. It is true that supporting the Cuban independence movement can easily stir up hatred, but it can also be intimidating.

After the defeat of France, London became the stronghold of the international exile organization.

Britain can support the independence of the Cuban Independence Organization today, the independence of the Indonesian Organization tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it can be replaced by ......
