202 British ambition
At the beginning of 1795, the London Government.
British Prime Minister Peter smiled and handed the document he had just obtained to his Foreign Minister.
“Everything in France is moving towards the favorable side of Great Britain.
The French civil war became more and more intense. The rural aristocrat Livi was not as we expected, surrounded by Robert Spear's revolutionary army in Toulouse and eliminated. The combat effectiveness shown by the Black Dragon Legion once again shocked the entire France.
The civil war has already caused millions of French young men to put down their hoes and carry muskets to step onto the battlefield, and this number is still rising.
According to this style of fighting, in a few years, France would not have many young men farmed in the land, produced in factories, and participated in the army to defend the French mainland.
At that time, we can completely dismember this Western European power that expanded into Louis XIV!
The Brittans, who had been bullied by the French for decades, could independently restore their principality, and several provinces could be ceded to the Kingdom of Sardinia in the southeast of France.
In several provinces in eastern France, I believe that the powerful states of the Holy Roman Empire such as Prussia were very interested, even if it was an enclave for them.
Belgium can also achieve true independence, and we, Great Britain, will be the closest ally of the new Belgium!
Spain……
Well, the Kingdom of Spain is indeed a little weak. I never thought that the Kingdom of Spain, which was arrogant in the Age of Discovery, would be so fragile in front of Levi's Black Dragon Legion.
If the military observers on the Army had not given me the exact information, I would have thought Carlos IV would have transferred his colonial army on the American continent back to the land to fight against Levi's Black Dragon Legion.
Those earth-shaking failures were enough to become a laughing stock in the entire Europe.
However, Spain's geopolitics determines that the Kingdom of Spain is a very important ally before we completely dismember France.
Perhaps, after France falls, Spain can be our next target.
I believe that the Kingdom of Portugal must be full of covetousness for the land around him.
If it weren't for the Aragon in the Kingdom of Catalonia that he was determined to go to the end with Livi, it would actually be a good strategic deployment to support the independence of the Kingdom of Catalonia.
By the way, how is the civil war in the Kingdom of Spain now going on?"
"Prime Minister, the Spanish Kingdom's army has an absolute strategic advantage and has now completely recovered the entire Madrid province.
However, there was no large-scale battle between the Spanish and Catalan troops. Aragon, the king of the Catalan Kingdom, unswervingly implemented the scorched earth strategy and gave the Spaniards a piece of land with few young men, leaving only a group of hungry elderly, weak, women and children.
Carlos IV is now feeling a headache about how to fill so many people.
This also greatly delayed the offensive of the Spanish Army. Carlos IV and the powerful nobles in Spain were trying to mobilize food to restore the vitality of the Madrid region.
Aragon's move is really cruel. Now, except for the Catalans, the whole Spain calls Aragon the "man-eating demon" and its reputation is close to Aragon's master Livi."
"My Foreign Minister, have you not made any progress in your persuasion to Aragon now?
Levi is now impossible to provide any support to the Kingdom of Catalonia, whether it is manpower or material resources.
Aragon, a commoner king, was unwilling to become an ally of Great Britain?
What Levi can give him, we Great Britain will only give more!”
"I'm very sorry, Prime Minister.
Not only Aragon, but even the Catalonian Cabinet, which was in control of the Kingdom of Catalonia, was unwavering in its policy of following Livi.
I suspect that they are likely to have been 'spoken' by Li Wei."
"Bad spell!
Do you believe what those priests said?
If Li Wei really had such a powerful spell, why didn’t he be God directly?
I would rather believe the explanations of those psychology professors in the Academy of Sciences.
Li Wei is probably a hypnotic master. Through hypnosis, he sowed psychological hints to those who had been in contact with him, and made these people feel instinctively obedient to his words.
However, psychological suggestion is that this thing should not be permanent. No matter how powerful hypnosis is, there must be flaws. Unfortunately, we did not find Li Wei's hypnosis flaws.
Forget it, the Kingdom of Catalonia is unwilling to join the anti-French alliance, so let them be suppressed by the Kingdom of Spain. In this way, we can make Carlos IV rely more on the anti-French alliance."
"Prime Minister, the military aid Carlos IV has offered to us..."
"Why did Carlos IV fight against the civil war?
Carlos IV rejected the treaty we proposed and wanted to ask for money from us with the support of the anti-French alliance, and only the fool would agree!”
"Prime Minister, if Carlos IV is defeated by the Kingdom of Catalonia, or this civil war will continue to be delayed, after the end of the French Civil War, the Kingdom of Spain will probably have no ability to resist the situation facing France that has restored its unity..."
"This is not a big problem. Whether it is the French Revolutionary Government win or Li Wei wins, if it really invades Spain, it will face fierce resistance from the Spanish people.
At that time, we can pay a small price to drag the main force of France to Spain, and then cooperate with the main force of the anti-French alliance to attack France, take Paris, and push the king of the Bourbon family back to the throne!
Even if the Kingdom of Catalonia has not joined the anti-French alliance, it is impossible for it to be completely immersed in France's arms.
Even if King Aragon and his cabinet were hypnotized by Levi, the Catalan people would not agree to be annexed by France.
To continue to be independent of the Kingdom of Catalonia, it will still have more benefits than disadvantages to Great Britain.
The more the great powers on the European continent are divided, the weaker the colonial enemies we face in Great Britain will be and the fewer the number!
After France fell, Spain fell into division again. Austria, the Holy Roman Empire, had to face the challenges of Prussia, and there was only one Eastern European barbarian Tsarist Russia left on the entire European continent.
With the backwardness of Tsarist Russia, it is impossible to enter Central Europe. Driven by the power of the Industrial Revolution, the gap between us and the Tsarist Russian Empire will only grow bigger and bigger.
