"Commander Li and Chief of Staff Wu, it seems that the British really dug a hole for the Spaniards! The British knew that they would not be able to withstand our attack, so they returned Gibraltar to the Spaniards! But those Spaniards really thought it was a good thing, so they came to take over Gibraltar! Just now a fool came to warn us that we should evacuate Gibraltar, otherwise it would be a provocation to the Kingdom of Spain, and we would be scared back by the responsibility of the war! "On the battleship 'Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty', Vice Admiral Tang Hongtao, commander of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps, said with a smile to Admiral Li Haitao and Vice Admiral Wu Zhiyuan!

"Let the 8th Division go ashore and get ready for battle! However, don't attack the city of Gibraltar until you get an order! Of course, if the Spaniards dare to take the initiative to provoke us, that's another matter! As long as the Spaniards dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble, then beat them hard! Admiral Li Haitao said. The Spaniard suddenly jumped out to pick up the bargain, which also annoyed him a lot. The British entrenched in Gibraltar were about to be wiped out, but the Spaniards jumped out. He almost ordered the fleet's capital ships to continue firing at Gibraltar City!

"Okay, Commander Li, I'll let the brothers build a defensive position on the beach! Hmph, I'm afraid those Spaniards won't dare to come! Otherwise, they will have no return! Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao said. He really didn't take these Spain seriously. If given the order to attack, he was confident that he could take Gibraltar in one day. You can't find the north for beating those Spaniards!

"Chief of Staff. Several light cruisers and destroyers were sent into the Bay of Algerasis. Fire support to the brothers of the Marine Corps! If the Spaniards dare to take the initiative to stir things up, then let them taste our awesomeness! Admiral Li Haitao ordered in a deep voice!

"Yes, Commander!" Lieutenant General Wu Zhiyuan nodded and quickly arranged. Three 'Ningbo-class' light cruisers and four 'Fuqing-class' destroyers sailed into the Gulf of Algerasis, and all the guns on the ships were pointed at the city of Gibraltar, and if the Spaniards dared to act rashly, they would be hit by the fire of the battleships on the sea. Under the blow of powerful fire, these Spaniards will die without a place to be buried!

Now. In the city of Gibraltar, Brigadier General Casimiro, chief of staff of the 12th Infantry Division of the Spanish Army, was also reporting the Chinese reply to the division commander, Major General Cecilio. It's just that Brigadier General Casimiro, who has suffered at the hands of the Chinese Marines, must have added fuel to the fire to slander the Chinese side.

"General, those yellow-skinned monkeys are so rude, I, as the emissary of Spain, dare to point a gun at my head! This is simply not taking the Kingdom of Spain into account! I have solemnly told them that the Kingdom of Spain has recovered Gibraltar, which is already the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, and that they should leave the territory of the Kingdom of Spain. However, these yellow-skinned monkeys completely ignored our warnings. On the contrary, they continue to increase troops on the beach. General, I think we should give those yellow-skinned monkeys a warning. Let them know we're awesome! Brigadier General Casimiro said angrily!

Major General Cecilio glanced at Brigadier General Casimiro and said nothing, he had just sent a telegram to the country, informing him that he had led the 12th Infantry Division to take control of the city of Gibraltar. A telegram from Madero ordered him to hold the city of Gibraltar and forbade him to provoke the squadron. After all, China is now one of the world's great powers, and neither the Kingdom of Spain, Alfonso XIII, nor Prime Minister Torres, are willing or afraid to conflict or even break out into war with such a power. The Kingdom of Spain wanted to reclaim Gibraltar rather than start a war with China. Although they wanted to restore the glory of Spain, they were also aware of China's strength. In the event of a war with China, the Kingdom of Spain had almost no chance of winning. Now the Kingdom of Spain only hopes that China will make concessions, so that Spain can recover Gibraltar at the lowest cost. After receiving a telegram that the army had taken control of the city of Gibraltar, Spanish Prime Minister Fernando Torres had already sent a telegram ordering the Spanish ambassador to China to urgently meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi to discuss the relevant issues in Gibraltar. Of course, the German ambassador to China will also accompany him throughout the process, so as to facilitate the mediation of direct conflicts between China and Spain. From this, it can be seen that the Spaniards pinned their hopes on the Germans, and they did not dare to tear their faces face to face with China. After all, although Spain is one of the great powers in Europe, it has declined, the army and navy are very weak, far from China's opponents, if a war breaks out with China, Spain has no chance of winning!

"Brigadier General Casimiro, this is a telegram from His Excellency the Prime Minister himself! We are required not to provoke the Chinese without receiving an order! Major General Cecilio handed the telegram to Brigadier General Casimiro and said sternly!

"Why? Why should we be afraid of those yellow-skinned monkeys? "Brigadier General Casimiro is very incomprehensible!

"Why? Hmph, Commodore Casimiro, look for yourself at those Chinese warships moored on the sea! These warships alone wiped out the poor navy of the Kingdom of Spain! And this is just a fleet of the Chinese! For fleets of the same size, there are at least two more Chinese! In addition, they have a world-class army and navy! Major General Cecilio pointed to the sea!

Brigadier General Casimiro didn't have any words at this time, he seemed to remember at this time that China was not the country that was bullied by the West a few decades ago, and even the powerful United States was destroyed by China, let alone a weak country like Spain. If China really wants to attack Spain, Spain will not be able to resist it no matter what. Therefore, he was a little afraid. In front of the position of the Chinese Marine Corps just now, if he hadn't relented in time, maybe those fierce Chinese would have really shot him on the spot. Looking back on it now, he really has some lingering palpitations!

At 5 p.m. Beijing time on May 14, the car of the German Embassy in China drove to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and after inspection, drove into the compound of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. German Ambassador to China August. Feng. Clinder got out of the car first, and then another middle-aged Westerner with a big beard also got out of the car: Claudio, the Spanish ambassador to China. After receiving an urgent telegram from Prime Minister Torres, Claudio immediately rushed to the German Embassy in China and met with the German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Clint went to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi. And Auguste. Feng. Clinder had obviously received instructions from the German government, and without any delay, he immediately pulled Claudio to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

At this time, it is not far from the end of work, and many of the officials and staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are sorting out their day's work and then preparing to leave work! The visit of the German ambassador to China at this time surprised the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it still ruled the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tang Shaoyi.

Under the leadership of the Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the German Ambassador to China, August. Feng. Clint and Claudio, the Spanish ambassador to China, were ushered into the office of Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi.

The staff served the tea and left, leaving only the foreign minister, Tang Shaoyi, and a secretary in charge of records.

After some greetings, Tang Shaoyi asked directly to the point: "Your Excellency, two ambassadors, is there anything to do this time?" Could it be that the Kingdom of Spain intends to join the Central Powers? After all, the German ambassador to China and the Spanish ambassador to China walked together, which made him a little confused!

"Lord Tang said with a smile, the Kingdom of Spain will remain neutral in this war and will not join either of the Entente and the Central Powers!" Claudio, the Spanish ambassador to China, hurriedly said. Compared with those leaders in Spain, he undoubtedly knows more about China's strong strength when he stays in China all the year round, and he is also very nervous about the Spanish government's move to pull out his teeth in front of the squadron this time, and he is deeply afraid that China will be angry.

"Oh? Since Spain is not going to join the Allies, what are the intentions of the two of you this time? Tang Shaoyi asked in surprise, he was also a little confused. Originally, he thought that Spain saw that China and the Allies were going to defeat the Entente this time, so they wanted to join the victorious side and prepare to share the world's interests after the war!

"Lord Tang, that's it! As you know, Gibraltar has always been part of the Kingdom of Spain, but it was seized by the British two hundred years ago. The Spanish ambassador to China hesitated, but still said stubbornly. There is no way back for him now!

"What? Does the Kingdom of Spain want us to transfer Gibraltar to you? Hearing Claudio, the Spanish ambassador to China, talk about the problem of Gibraltar, Tang Shaoyi's face sank. As a senior member of the Chinese government, he knew that the navy was attacking Gibraltar. And it is estimated that in just one or two days, the strategic location of Gibraltar will be captured. The Spaniards actually paid attention to Gibraltar, which is really bold enough! Do they still think that China will return such a strategic location to them?

"No, Lord Tang! The British government has promised to return Gibraltar to the Kingdom of Spain, and now the Army of the Kingdom of Spain has entered Gibraltar and taken control of the city of Gibraltar! Ambassador Claudio stammered! (To be continued......)
