1890 King of Southeast Asia

The Americans have not made the most stringent demands on the Spaniards, and the Spaniards have misjudged the information for various reasons, thinking that Britain and France would intervene in the matter (Cyril publicly called on the Spanish Consul in South China to have friendly exchanges with Sam in South China).

In fact, the United States is just waiting, not waiting for Britain and France, but waiting for the country to accept the "just counterattack." Isolation for too long, I have become accustomed to it...

Britain is now very annoyed. First of all, Germany, Russia and France have a trend of getting closer and closer. Britain has reached a consensus with the Americans and is close to the United States on this matter.

The Cape-Cairo plan was blocked, the Boers were close to Germany, and the German order for ten battleships had already begun to be built, which put some pressure on the British...

France adopted a neutral policy, and he was also very annoyed. He gave the Tsar a lot of francs, which means that I can't beat Germany, so I drag you along, but you still flirt with my mortal enemy?

Russia is now busy trying to find a way to do something to him in the Far East, whether it is to die Qing or North Korea, to build a non-freezing port for fun, but the French, the financial sponsor, do not support it, and the Germans are unwilling to pay...

Germany is urgently negotiating with Spain to purchase the Luzon Islands and affiliated islands... (Terrain, Palau and Mariana were all purchased at this time.)

All these things determine that no one will really sell out their own interests for Spain at this time and become an enemy of the interest group composed of South China, the United States and Britain.

You have to know that there are two direct consequences. The only way to stop it is to participate. The Tsar, who is most likely to do this, is still looking for a port where the fleet can spend the winter.

So, on April 20, the United States issued an ultimatum to Spain and began to invite South China to join.

On April 21, South China announced the ultimatum to the Spanish government and society.

"In view of the current situation, in order to safeguard the basic interests of South China, safeguard the safety of overseas Chinese, and fulfill the obligations stipulated in the South American Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance, South China submitted an ultimatum to the Spanish authorities.

Require the Spaniards to completely and thoroughly evacuate the Luzon Islands, Cuba, and Puerto Rico before the end of April 1898..."

The Spaniards still held a fluke attitude and sought help everywhere.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't think we have the ability to cross the ocean to defeat a navy. The Americans have many battleships, more than Germany..." The father of the High Seas Fleet expressed deep apologies for Spain's experience, and then continued to promote his military expansion plan to William.

However, Germany did not do nothing. It severely condemned the United States and South China, and reintroduced the Huang Huo Theory. Claiming that the existence of South China would bring disaster.

The French were happily doing business. The United States placed a large order with France and opened up financing channels. Simply put, it was national debt and loans. (Familiar Jinyuan offensive)

………

On April 22, the desperate Archduchess Maria Christina ordered: "Since everything is inevitable, for the glorious tradition of the Kingdom of Spain, declare war on the United States and South China!"

King Alfonso XIII is only 12 years old now, and the Regent Archduchess holds power in Spain.

…………

"We are losing a lot. We were isolated before! Why are the British willing to ****!" Theodore regretted it very much after receiving diplomatic support from the British.

After all, it was because the United States was isolated at first. If it rashly launched a war against a traditional European country, it might be the enemy of the whole world, so it dragged in South China.

"Don't be impatient. Spain has declared war, so we should also declare war and drag in South China! We didn't get nothing. Luzon is just a springboard. The cleared market is what we want.

And the role of South China for us is far more than that of Luzon..." McKinley was more open-minded. With the rise of South China, the possibility of the Pacific Empire was already very small.

How to develop Luzon is a problem, and how to settle the local Chinese? You know, wealth is mostly concentrated in the Chinese.

How many warships are needed to defend against South China? And the United States has already lost its springboard after losing Hawaii. (Midway Island is west of Hawaii, and the United States does not have an advantage in distance.)

Theodore sighed, Pacific Empire!

…………

Surabhai, the former presidential palace, was renamed Zhangtai Palace. (Every office has a name, I will have one too.)

Because of the declaration of war, Liu Yiming is holding a military and political meeting.

"Spain has declared war, how about the mobilization of various troops?" Liu Yiming looked at Yang Tao first.

"The transport ship has already arrived, and the first batch of weapons and equipment can be shipped immediately. We have prepared enough transport ships and can complete the transportation of two armies within a month." Yang Tao said simply.

This is not an easy task. The first batch of landing troops reached two divisions, and the relevant logistics were also transported at one time, which saves the most time.

"The navy can set off now. Defenses in various places should also be prepared, with a focus on strengthening the defense of Ryukyu Island." Liu Yiming turned to look at Zhao Jiaxing.

Zhao Jiaxing stood up: "The navy has already prepared for the attack according to the established plan!"

Liu Yiming glanced at the government officials and said to Zhao Jiaxing: "Be more detailed."

Zhao Jiaxing glanced at everyone, picked up the baton, and pointed at Ryukyu on the map behind Liu Yiming.

"The main fleet of three large armored cruisers and six torpedo destroyers is moored by the three large armored cruisers and six torpedo destroyers.

The remaining warships formed a fast fleet ... The Navy can defend ports from plans from plans. "

Who is the unexpected enemy? Look at the navy's heavy soldiers gathered in Ryukyu, and you know who it is.

"What does the government think?" After listening to Zhao Jiaxing's speech, Liu Yiming looked at the government.

This meeting is mainly to tell them and listen to their thoughts.

Sure enough, Tian Ruibi stood up, which was inconsistent with the fat body. "The General Staff estimates, how long will this war continue?"

Xie Hui stood up and glanced at Liu Yiming.

"Let you say that you said, what do you do? What can't you say?" Liu Yiming was convinced, he didn't eat people, and he didn't kill people. He completely came to this day with continuous victory.

"Defeating the Spaniards to see the navy, on the land, half a month! The transportation takes about ten days. The locals in Luzon may take a year or even more ..." Xie Hui said:

"Unless we adopt a more positive policy to stop the arrest of Lubon locals, the vacancy labor can be replaced by machinery. Local people also have the habit of using gold ..."

Liu Yiming didn't speak. He kept waiting for Xie Hui to finish speaking. After looking at everyone, he stood up: "Is this policy feasible? You explore it yourself. The war of land ""

"Start action, generals!"
