Viscount Wood was trained as a family heir since childhood and received an elite education from Eton School. He obtained a parliamentary seat when he was young. He had rich experience in overseas posts and military service. He was a model of British aristocratic MPs.

So in front of such a talented person, verbal tricks and traps are useless, because when it comes to diplomatic deception, who else in the world can compare to the cunning British?

The British had already figured out the trump card in the hands of the Spanish and were not worried that the other party would dare to turn against each other.

At that time, the German army was ravaging the French territory and the Alps passage was cut off. Madrid surpassed Zurich, Switzerland and became the largest spy distribution center in Europe. Every day, at least ten groups of spies were active in the city to inquire about various military, political and economic intelligence. Of course, the intelligence elites of MI6 were indispensable.

The Spanish government will not become honest because of the dictatorship, especially in the overall recession of the world, the bureaucratic habits of Spanish politics are deeply rooted, and government officials are as corruption and greedy as ever.

The copy of the diplomatic documents brought by General Montrose is now placed in Viscount Wood's official document box, and the British spent only two thousand pounds on it, and the new Spanish ambassador to Germany has no secret at all.

Spain's internal affairs were in a quagmire, but the British did not care about this. They only paid attention to issues related to the core interests of the empire, such as the maritime rights of the British Empire in the Mediterranean region.

Gibraltar is His Majesty's forbidden pills. It's fine if Germany thrust it, but it's not easy to make the Germans so big, but Spain is ignorant of what they want to do.

Since its opening, the Mediterranean route has never been so valued by the imperial government and the opposition as it is now. Colonial routes are now equivalent to the lifeline of the country. Only by keeping these routes unobstructed can the blood extracted from the colonies of the empire be continuously transported into the blood vessels of the British Isles. Now, as long as there is a slight attempt to threaten the safety of the Mediterranean route, it will trigger the most intense reactions of the British government and the opposition.

The British Mediterranean Fleet has drawn some backbones back to the local area to serve, but the fleet is still in place. The Royal Navy retains a high-mobile fleet composed of two heavy patrols and six light patrols to maintain the safety of the Mediterranean routes and at the same time shows the existence of the imperial sea power.

If we say that the Mediterranean has become the inland sea of ​​the European Union, the surrounding area is either an ally or a colony, where does the threat come from? After all, the British are guarding against Spain.

In fact, it is not only the British who are staring at Spain, but France also keeps a distance from Spain, because the Port of Ceuta, opposite Gibraltar, is still under the control of the French army, and the French government is obviously not going to return it to Franco.

If you are dissatisfied, you can send troops to take them. The French Navy, which retains 70% of its troops, makes Marshal Betton feel confident.

The French Army is also rebuilt at an astonishing speed. To say that the war has just ended, the whole nation should be in a war-weary and anti-war mood. In theory, volunteer soldiers cannot be recruited.

But who is President Betan? He can be used as a compliment when he is cunning. The old marshal who has experienced two wars knows very well that the French people are actually very "simple". As long as they still have trust in the government, politicians can instill all the ideas they need in their minds.

What else can I use to scare them now, except for the group next door who likes to walk goose steps, who are now allies of France.

It seemed that overnight, various French radio, literary magazines, and various big newspapers and tabloids and gossip literature appeared together, and the whole country began to crazily promote the "Japanese disaster theory".

It seems to be the tricks I used to confront Germany. If you want to say that the French should learn to be smarter this time, the result is beyond the expectations of all observers. These tricks are still very effective for ordinary French people who generally have not had a high level of education.

Books related to Southeast Asia on the market were sold out, and a large number of so-called historical research and analysis articles were published in competition. Experts and professors from colleges and universities performed their own abilities, and they talked endlessly on the radio.

So the soldiers who were originally preparing to retire and return home were asked by the government to serve the rest of their military service. The generals said frivolously that the world was not peaceful and peaceful, and the despicable enemies were coveting the territory of the Republic, and the warriors had to stand up to defend the safety of their motherland's families.

The military academy began to absorb a large number of young freshmen, a group of outstanding soldiers were promoted to non-commissioned officers, and a large number of on-duty officers were sent to Germany for further study, learning the new tactics and equipment use methods of the German army. The goal of the French army was to establish a powerful reserve force to deal with the upcoming large-scale war of attrition.

PS: I suddenly had something to go out today. The content of this chapter is a little less. I am very sorry, I will add it in the next chapter.
