Chapter 0730 Civil War One

"I want Gibraltar, can you give it?" Li Zitao's words made the negotiations stalemate.

Gibraltar, the eternal pain in the hearts of the Spanish.

After the defeat of the Spanish Invincible Armada, this important road, known as the lifeline of the world's shipping and important strategic significance, was thrown away from them and completely belonged to the British.

The two sides of Gibraltar are Spain and Morocco, and their territory belongs to Spain, but Gibraltar does not belong to them.

The true ownership of Gibraltar is in the hands of the Port of Gibraltar.

On any strategic map, it marked the ownership of Britain, not Spain, which owns its cross-strait territory.

The civil war has lasted for half a year since the beginning. At first, the British also helped the Republic blockade the Strait of Gibraltar.

However, after Germany and Italy participated in the war, their attitude became more and more tough and their assistance increased, the British began to act as blind.

You can die, as long as Gibraltar is still in my hands.

In order not to force the British to participate in the war, it is a good idea to sell the British. Neither Germany nor Franco had the idea of ​​fighting the Port of Gibraltar.

The German dwarf was afraid of forcing Britain and France to launch the first attack. Germany is not ready yet, and he is also afraid of the majesty left by the glory of Britain and France in his heart.

Paralyzing the enemy is the most favorable situation for Germany today, allowing those "romantic" French people to continue their love and love.

Let the British who like to fantasize about the "Empire of the Sun" continue to immerse themselves in their dreams. This is the situation that the little guy wants to see the most.

Mussolini also didn't want to annoy the British. I have to say that Britain still had its own strength during this period, and no one wanted to really provoke it.

Besides, after the war in East Africa began, the British had always given face and did not blockade of Gibraltar. Mussolini naturally had to give some face to repay him.

Franco really wants to take back Gibraltar. It should be said that every Spaniard wants to fulfill this dream.

But even if he was given ten courage, he, the leader of the rebel, would not dare to provoke the British, unless he wanted to die by himself.

The same principle applies to the government of the Republic, who have no right to give Gibraltar to Li Zitao.

Not to mention that both the north and south of Gibraltar are under the control of the rebels. Even if he takes the courage to accept it, he will not be able to do it!

"Charlie, you should be very clear about the situation in Gibraltar, we..." The representative wanted to continue to say, and Li Zitao raised his hand to interrupt his speech.

"I know very well the problem of the Port of Gibraltar. What I want is Ceuta on the west of the north shore and the south shore. Don't say it does not belong to Spain."

In the territory of Spain, the eastern part of the north shore is the British Port of Gibraltar, which is also the main force controlling Gibraltar.

The British army stationed 20,000 elite soldiers, 40 battleships of various types, destroyers, etc., and also built sea bunkers on the necessary road outside the port.

Ceuta is the sharp-angle area east of Morocco, the Western colony, opposite it.

Although it also has certain limitations on the Strait of Gibraltar, Britain, which has battleships and sea bunkers, is the real master.

Moreover, under pressure from Britain, the Spaniards did not set up cannons, ships, etc. in Ceuta, let alone the maritime fortresses directly blocking the strait.

Giving or not means thinking with a struggle.

With Ceuta, Spain can still find some sense of existence and comfort on the issue of Gibraltar.

If even Ceuta were lost, then Gibraltar would never belong to Spain from now on, and they would not even have the right to pretend to be a tiger.

"Give it." When saying this answer, it means that you almost broke your teeth.

"Can you make the decision?" Li Zitao looked at him unexpectedly and asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, before I came, I was given the president's order, and as long as it was not a traitor, anything else could represent the Republic."

A trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth. What was the difference between what he was doing now and selling the country? It was just that there was an extra layer of fig leaf. In name, these places still belong to them.

But he also knew in his heart that if he did not agree to the Chinese's request, the Republic would disappear soon, so what's the point of who Ceuta belongs to?

"In addition, Spain's reserve gold must be deposited, and Morocco's currency issuance rights." Hearing Li Zitao's new request, the representative immediately clenched his fists and stood up, and his angry breath made his body tremble slightly.

"Charlie, your request is too much. Now everything is still unknown. Unless you can make sure that victory belongs to us, today's conversation ends here."

Seeing the other party's pretentious performance, Li Zitao leaned back and said indifferently: "Who can be sure that victory will not belong to the Republic!"

The representative who was still angry and trembling all over his body immediately calmed down, and sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened, and took the cold tea and drank it in small sips.

"If you can do what you say, there is no problem with this!" The representative said calmly and calmly as if he suddenly changed from a shrew to a lady.

"Have you brought the documents?" 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. As he thought, Manuel had already made the worst plan.

What made Manuel make such a decision was not only the current unfavorable situation, but also the news he learned through secret channels.

Franco has secretly left Morocco and went to Germany to meet with the Dwarf. The two sides will reach further cooperation and he will receive the full support of the Dwarf.

At the same time, Mussolini, the Italian dictator, also had the same plan. The aid of Franco from both countries will not only be equipped with ammunition and funds.

There are also elite troops from the two countries, and they will directly intervene in the battle situation.

This news is what makes Manuel make such a decision, and no matter what, he must win new strength to maintain the balance between the two sides and even turn defeat into victory.

The Republic is skeptical about whether SHIELD has this strength.

But that's OK!

If they were defeated, they had nothing and the republic would disappear. The promises they made naturally did not count, and they lost nothing.

If it succeeds, what can I do if I throw away the useless Gibraltar and throw away the right to issue the colony?
