"Why do you want to attack Portugal? Why is that?"

"Have the people from the Pacific Empire got the wrong direction? These guys may have never been to Europe, so it's not accurate to take the wrong path!"

"But will you mess up the one in front with the chrysanthemum behind?"

"This is right, too."

Originally, after the Volunteers of the Pacific Empire landed on the 6th in France, this was definitely a major benefit for the Allies. With the arrival of this new force, the world war would probably be decided soon. However, no one expected that after the Pacific Empire came, it did not fight against Germany and Austro-Hungarian Empire, but instead beat the young brother of the Allies of Portugal first. Why is this?

"Why? What are you doing?" Salisbury was so angry that he really couldn't figure out why this happened, and should he keep making such a misunderstanding?

That's right, until now, Salisbury forced himself to think that this was a misunderstanding. Of course, he knew that there must be conspiracy behind it, but for the sake of the current world situation, the war will be ended as soon as possible, so it's better not to make a big deal about this matter.

So, come to find Liszt. Salisbury actually wanted to go to France to see the prince directly, but he knew very well that the prince probably had no real power.

In fact, the so-called imperial family, whether in the East or the West, internal power struggles are very powerful. The father is still in power and is still young. How could such an emperor give power to his son?

"Oh," Liszt made a very confused expression first, and then he said, "Is there anything wrong with this attack on Portugal?"

"What?" Salisbury could not believe his ears.

Liszt immediately smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you should calm down. This is obviously a normal step in war."

The Pacific Imperial Volunteer Army had over 100,000 people, so they naturally landed on the 6th. There was no way to get them all at once. In France, it was only part of them, and the other part was led by MacArthur. Then, with the escort of the navy, they landed on the 6th in Portugal, and then fought as soon as they got ashore.

But, how could this be a normal step in war?

Lister continued: "Your Excellency, I think you must have heard such rumors. That is, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are trying to seize the Strait of Gibraltar. I am very confident that you will understand the importance of this Strait. So how can we give up such a key strategic location easily?"

What this said is simply inexplicable!

But Salisbury heard a little bit, because such a thing was simply messy!

This matter has to be said from the beginning, otherwise it is really hard to understand. Let’s talk about the Strait of Gibraltar. Of course, it is famous. Everyone knows that this place is the gateway from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean, and the narrow place is simply

It's like a girl, it really seems that you look at the Mediterranean as big as a big one, but the mouth is so tight. That's all right, the words are rough but not rough, it's really like this.

But such an important place is very interesting, because from the geographical point of view, everyone can see that this place belongs to Spain. This is very clear, but this strait has nothing to do with Spain now!

This is the British Strait of Gibraltar. It’s really not your Spanish, because it was before. Spain was awesome, but it was finally cleaned up by the British. After the cleaning up, it has been many years anyway, and the Habsburg dynasty in Spain has no descendants, children, and no one to inherit it.

So the British were also cruel enough to force Spain to sign the Utrecht Treaty. In this way, the land of Gibraltar was easily allocated to the British, which means that the British now controlled the Strait of Gibraltar.

Then, the problem is here!

The war has come to this day, and this strait is so important. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are going to plan. How did they plan?

Although the place was given to the British, Spain really wrapped this part completely!

What is Spain's attitude towards this war now?

neutral!

The country of Spain is very interesting. Now the ruler is Alfonso XIII. This guy is still smart. He is not as reckless as his father. This guy declared himself neutral at the beginning of the war!

Spain is neutral. In the past, this guy basically provoked people everywhere.?? He has a rift with anyone, let alone the British guy.

So what is the opportunity now?

Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire would definitely use this to lobby Alfonso XIII. How many firm ideas can this Thirteen have?

It is completely impossible, because Spain wants to bring Gibraltar to the place that is always there, so that they can become a normal country.

So, it is easy to see that Alfonso XIII, as long as he turned to Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he could justify his invasion of Gibraltar!

Of course there are British people in Gibraltar, but they are surrounded by Spain. So, if the Spanish do something bad, at least they can cooperate with the inside and outside, then this fortress that guards the Atlantic Ocean will no longer exist. Well, it's someone else's.

But, does all this have anything to do with fighting Portugal?

Of course, this is a relationship, it is indeed far-fetched, but fighting Portugal is not evil, there are stories here.

There is a country in South America called Brazil. In addition to being very good at kicking oranges, people in this country also have a skill, which is to be good with the Pacific Empire. Didn’t they want to establish relationships at the beginning?

However, Brazil at that time was still an empire, and the emperor was called Pedro II. This guy's country was obtained from Pedro I, and he himself had quite a means to control the country of Brazil, but in some aspects, he was not as good as his father.

In fact, when Pedro I was in the time of Pedro I, Portugal and Brazil had a wonderful intersection and separation, which was very interesting.

Because from the perspective of the royal family, Pedro I was calculated based on Brazil. He was the first life, but if it was placed in Portugal, he was Pedro IV. That would be true. This branch belongs to the Braganza dynasty. There is no doubt that Pedro I was born. He was the eldest son of Joao VI. From the perspective of inheritance, there was no problem with his identity and bloodline.

But this man was unlucky and in this era, he happened to meet Napoleon's awesome time. Portugal could not stop Napoleon's army, and Spain could not stop it. So the Braganza dynasty could only run to Brazil, but you can't say that Pedro I was really capable. He was called a hero in Brazil.

This is just the previous chapter, and it was interesting later, because Napoleon was awesome. Later, Joao VI took over the Portuguese regime again, and this old man was almost out of reach. What should I do?

Pedro I had to be Pedro forty again, but these are two countries after all, will one person be divided into two halves?

Pedro I had a daughter, Maria II, who became the queen of Portugal!

This is normal at first, and there is nothing wrong with it. One family is the king of two countries. How awesome. But, there is a girl in charge over there!

If a girl gets married, she has to choose from the European nobles. So she chose a person, and the man was named Ferdinand. By the way, she could tell that the man was from there. This person was a member of the Saxony Coburg Gotha dynasty, and this dynasty, of course, originated from the German region.

This is actually nothing. Everyone is a relative, but the place where they live is different. But after that, their son was Pedro V, and the royal family of Portugal went astray.

Well, no matter what, it is considered to be absolutely blood-related with the previous Braganza dynasty. Pedro II, by the way, this has to be counted in Brazil. He actually became the king at the age of five. In fact, it depends on the remaining power of his father. But this guy is also a strange master.

Pedro II is engaged in democracy!

It should be said that from many perspectives, Pedro II is definitely a wise ruler. He has accepted a lot of modern ideas, especially democratic ideas. Moreover, he has managed this place in Brazil well. He also has a lot of good governance, such as doing business with the Pacific Empire and selling rubber, and has not been kidnapped by ideology.

But because of these good governance and progressive ideas, can this guy's throne still be preserved?

In 1889, this guy was overthrown by the democratic parties below and said he was not bad. He had been a king for a long time. Moreover, this guy actually had no real power in the morning. Many things were finalized by the people below, but now he needs to come out and push the jar.

So, what should Pedro II do after being overthrown?

Run!

Where to run?

Portugal is now the Saxony, Coburg and Gotha dynasty. According to the seniority, you, Pedro II, is the uncle of King Carlos I now. Although Carlos is very young, even if he is stupid, he can't invite a grandpa, right?

The key is that they are orthodox!

And the most important thing is that at this time, Carlos I was going to inherit the throne!

So, after watching the ceremony, you should do whatever you should do, just stop staying here in Portugal.

Here comes the matter. It was originally a very awesome dynasty that controlled two countries, but as a result, both sides lost control and had no choice. Didn’t they do a good job with the Pacific Empire before, so

Give your brother a hand!

Li Mengyang didn’t say that, wasn’t it just a pair of chopsticks!
