Chapter 730: Civil War 1

"I want Gibraltar, can you give it?" Li Zitao said, letting the negotiations fall into stalemate.
Gibraltar, the eternal pain in the hearts of the Spaniards.
After the defeat of the invincible fleet of Spain, this was hailed as the lifeline of world shipping, and the important strategic significance was thrown away from their hands and belonged to the British.
Both sides of Gibraltar are Spain and Morocco, all of whose territory belongs to Spain, but Gibraltar alone does not belong to them.
The real ownership of Gibraltar is in the hands of the Port of Gibraltar.
On any strategic map, the attribution it labels is Britain, not Spain, which owns its cross-strait lands.
The civil war has lasted for half a year from the beginning to the present. At first, the British also helped the Republic to blockade the Strait of Gibraltar.
But when Germany and Italy fought in the war, the attitude they showed became stronger and stronger, and after more and more aid, the British began to act blindly.
Just die, as long as Gibraltar is still in my hands.
In order to prevent the British from being forced into the war, it would be a good idea to sell the British. Neither Germany nor Italy nor Franco had the idea to fight the Port of Gibraltar.
The German dwarf was afraid that the British and French would be the first to attack. Now that Germany is not ready, his heart is also afraid of the majesty left by the glory of Britain and France.
Paralyzing the enemy is the most favorable situation for the present-day Germany, allowing those'romantic' Frenchmen who are drunk and dreaming to continue their lives.
Let the British guys who like to imagine the invincible "Sunless Empire" continue to immerse themselves in their dreams. This is the situation that the little elf wants to see most.
Mussolini also didn't want to annoy the British guys. He had to say that Britain still had Yu Wei in this period. No one wanted to really provoke it.
Besides, after the war in East Africa began, the British have always given face to the fact that they have not blocked Gibraltar.
Franco really wanted to take back Gibraltar. It should be said that every Spaniard wanted to fulfill this dream.
But even if he gave him ten guts, he, the rebel leader, would not dare to provoke the Englishman unless he wanted to kill himself.
The same principle applies to the government of the Republic, they have no right to give Gibraltar to Li Zitao.
Not to mention that both the north and the south of Gibraltar are under the control of the rebels. Even if he ate the leopard gall, he could not do it with courage and promise!
"Charlie, you should be very clear about the situation in Gibraltar, we..." The representative wanted to continue, Li Zitao raised his hand to interrupt his speech.
"I am very clear about the problem of the port of Gibraltar. What I want is Ceuta west of the north bank and Ceuta on the south bank, let alone it does not belong to Spain."
Within the Spanish territory, the harbour inwardly curved inwards on the eastern part of the north shore is the British port of Gibraltar and the main force controlling Gibraltar.
The British army stationed 20,000 elite soldiers here, 40 warships of all types, and destroyers, and also built a sea bunker on the only road outside the port.
Ceuta is on the other side, a sharp corner area east of Morocco, a western colony.
Although it also has certain restrictions on the Strait of Gibraltar, the United Kingdom with battleships and bunkers at sea is the real master.
And under the pressure of Britain, the Spaniards did not install artillery, ships, etc. in Ceuta, not to mention the sea fortress that directly controlled the strait.
Give it or not, it means struggling thinking.
With the existence of Ceuta, Spain can find a little presence and comfort on the issue of Gibraltar.
If even Ceuta is lost, then Gibraltar will really no longer belong to Spain from now on, and they will not even have the right to be fake.
"Here." When saying this answer, the representative almost bite his teeth.
"Can you be the master?" Li Zitao looked at him unexpectedly and asked a little uncertainly.
"Yes, before I came, I was ordered by the President. As long as it is not a betrayal, anything else can represent the Republic."
There was a bit of bitterness in the corner of the representative's mouth. What he is doing now is different from selling the country, except that there is a layer of shame cloth, and these places belong to them in name.
But he was also clear in his heart that if the Chinese were not accepted, the Republic would disappear in a short time, so who does Ceuta belong to and what is the point?
"In addition to this, Spain's reserve gold is to be deposited, and Morocco's currency issuance rights." Upon hearing Li Zitao's new request, the representative immediately clenched his fists and stood up, angry rage made his body slightly Trembling.
"Charlie, your request is too much. Now everything is still unknown. Unless you can ensure that victory belongs to us, today's conversation is over."
Looking at the opponent's pretentious performance, Li Zitao leaned back and said indifferently: "Who can be sure that victory will not belong to the Republic!"
The trembling trembling delegate just calmed down immediately~EbookFREE.me~ sat on the sofa like nothing else, and took a sip of cold tea.
"If you can do what you said, there is no problem with these!" The representative said calmly and calmly as if suddenly changing from a shrew to a lady.
"Have you brought the document?" Hearing the other party's answer so readily, Li Zitao guessed that the other party might have thought of the request he might have made.
The representative nodded heavily, and as expected, Manuel was already preparing for the worst.
It was not only the current unfavourable situation that made Manuel make such a decision, but also the news he learned through secret channels.
Franco has secretly left Morocco and went to Germany to meet with the little elf. The two sides will reach further cooperation and he will receive the full support of the little elf.
At the same time, the Italian dictator, Mussolini had the same plan. The assistance of the two countries to Franco will not only be equipped with ammunition and funds.
There are elite troops from both countries, and they will directly intervene in the battle.
This news is what made Manuel make such a decision. In any case, he must strive for new forces to maintain the balance of the two sides, and even defeat the victory.
Regarding whether S.H.I.E.L.D. has this strength, the Republic is skeptical.
But it doesn't matter!
If they are defeated, they will have nothing and the Republic will disappear, and the promises made will not count, and they will lose nothing.
If it succeeds, even throwing out the ribless Gibraltar, what would happen if you lose the colony's currency issuance rights.
In exchange for a strong ally in the colonial economy, the situation in the European continent is changing, and this account is a profit or a loss that only the parties can distinguish clearly.
