Prime Minister Godoy was not surprised at all when he heard Carlos IV's accusation. If Livi had not added this, the armistice agreement between France and Spain would have been signed in Paris.

The Spanish Kingdom was awakened by Li Wei at this time, and even the Prussian and Austrian coalition were defeated. What reason do they have to continue to persist in the anti-French alliance?

The Prussian land is far away from the French Republic, so there is no need to worry that Levi will fight to Berlin unless Levi declares war on the entire Europe.

Austria's land is even farther away, and it has a strong appeal in the Holy Roman Empire. During this anti-French war, although Austria represented the Holy Roman Empire to fight, in fact, most of the Holy Roman Empire did not send troops, and a small part of the country did not even make a political stand.

It can be said that the army sent by the Holy Roman Empire is just the main force of Austria and some German mercenaries.

This is completely different from fighting with the entire Holy Roman Empire.

The countries of the Holy Roman Empire were unwilling to participate in the war, but it did not mean that their combat effectiveness was weak. On the contrary, many central and European countries have kept up with the pace of the first industrial revolution in Britain, and the domestic prosperity and people live and work in peace and stability, and their belief in defending their families and the country is also very firm.

The absence of nationalism does not mean no patriotism.

Of course, the patriotism of this era is generally bound to the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, so it is much worse than the later patriotism.

Vienna and Berlin don’t have to worry about the military threat from France, so they can naturally continue to prepare for war, but the Spanish Kingdom does not have the capital.

The first time Madrid lost Levi's Black Dragon Legion defeated the backbone of the Spaniards, and even the arrogant Queen Louisa began to "recognize reality".

The destruction of the French Army this time scared the most capable troops in the Spanish Kingdom to run wildly, and did not even give him a chance to meet the French Wehrmacht...

These two "scares" were enough to make the Spanish cabinet understand that they did not have the ability to fight against France.

Continuing to stand in the anti-French alliance is purely to make yourself uncomfortable.

No one wants the capital of Madrid to be captured by the French army again!

Even though Madrid has not recovered from the trauma of war, and even if it is broken, there is not much wealth to lose, the political losses are immeasurable, especially the blow to Carlos IV's royal prestige and the Madrid Cabinet government's ability to govern.

The military alliance clause given by Li Wei has now been regarded as a life-saving straw by the Madrid government headed by Prime Minister Godoy.

Only without the French military threat to the north can the Spanish Kingdom be truly stable.

Even if it is offended by the member states of the Anti-French Alliance, it doesn’t matter. After all, no one in the anti-French alliance can reach the mainland of the Kingdom of Spain except the British.

And the British, who was the small army in the eyes of European powers, was okay to fight a colonial war. If you want to fight a continental war, you might as well take a shower and go to bed.

If the British had expanded the army on a large scale, the European powers would celebrate, because Britain's financial resources were not enough to support the dual strength policy of the Navy and the Continental Army at the same time. If the British had that financial resources, they would have joined the European war of hegemony long ago.

Once the British expand the army on a large scale, it will inevitably lead to the reduction of the benefits allocated to the navy. The navy is a big money-making company and does not have enough military budgets. Not to mention building new ships, even the maintenance funds for old ships are too short.

After all, there are too many naval warships in the British!

Without the Royal Navy, how can the British colony remain unset?

Therefore, as long as the London government does not encounter a crisis of destruction, it will basically not expand the army on a large scale.

As for the expansion of the British Army during World War I and World War II, it was due to the leap in productivity brought about by the Second Industrial Revolution. Even so, the British Army was not strong on the European battlefield at that time, and it also needed a large number of colonial soldiers to make up for it.

Many soldiers of the British Army during World War I and World War II were held by the Indian Sans. The vast colonies brought a large number of qualified soldiers to the British government, and at the same time lowered the overall combat effectiveness of the British Army...

Because of this, the Spanish Cabinet government generally believes that as long as the hostility of the French government is dispelled, the Spanish Kingdom can continue to live leisurely.

Even if the Spanish royal family needs a victory in a war to enhance their prestige, they can also dispatch the 80,000 troops that have just been tempered by the war to fight the Portuguese kingdom of small and weak people and complete the unification of the Spanish Peninsula!

Of course, before telling this plan, Prime Minister Godoy must first figure out whether his king and queen have this need.

If you can avoid fighting, it will naturally be the best result.

There is too much money spent on war, and the exposed government corruption problem is also very terrible...

"Your Majesty, if we can form a military alliance with France, we can all withdraw our troops stationed on the border, and there will be no more threats from the north.

This plays an important role in Your Majesty's stabilization of the domestic political situation!

The Catalonia region has become a white land because of war, and Barcelona has become a financial burden for the government due to large population losses. What if such a poor area is left independent?

Catalonian independence not only allows Levi to relieve our concerns, but also save a financial black hole area full of guerrillas. The Kingdom of Spain can devote all its energy to the restoration of production in China.

Your Majesty the King, you must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries.”

Prime Minister Godoy's words immediately made Carlos IV frown. Although Godoy did not say it clearly, Carlos IV knew that he was referring to the feudal aristocrats seeking independence due to the fall of the capital of Madrid.

These feudal nobles took advantage of the main force of the Spanish Army to go north, but they launched a policy of fiefdom independence in the rear, trying to build a country among the country, and formed a noble mutual aid alliance in private, as if they wanted to confront the central government!

Although the Kingdom of Spain is still a typical feudal country, since the French Sun King Louis XIV, the monarchy system in Europe has become popular, and it is now a standard for whether a great power is strong.

Even a constitutional monarchy like Britain has completed the centralized system, and the fiefs of local nobles have been compressed to the extreme, and no matter how they are united, it is impossible to pose a threat to the London government.

Of course, the House of Lords controlled by the British nobles also prevented them from having to go against the central government.

The Spanish Kingdom was also gradually trying to "reduce the vassal states" and achieved some results, but a Faspisian war ruined all the previous efforts.

Therefore, Prime Minister Godoy's proposal is still very necessary. After many wars, these 80,000 troops have been firmly controlled by the Madrid cabinet government. It can be said that these 80,000 troops are now the "Central Army" of the Kingdom of Spain.

If they could be liberated from the northern border and turned to the interior of the Kingdom of Spain, the so-called aristocratic alliance would disappear in an instant, and it would not be difficult to restore to the pre-war political environment.

Moreover, in the Catalonian region, there is indeed no occupation value at this time.

This land that was rich before the war has now become a terrifying hedgehog. The Spanish Army massacre gave birth to groups of Catalan guerrillas, and almost every Catalan family has participated!

This has increased the cost of occupying the Spanish army.

The wealth plundered from the Catalonia region is being consumed rapidly.

However, from a financial perspective, it is wise to give up the Catalonian region, but from a political perspective, giving up the Catalonian region, Carlos IV is a national sinner, a loss of city and land, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame in Spain!

No matter how stupid Carlos IV is, he still knows this truth.

"How would those local nobles and Spanish people think of me (European kings all call themselves me, and my claim is translated in Chinese)?"

Carlos IV was forced to do nothing. He had already lost the capital of Madrid once. If he recognized the independence of the local Catalonian region, what personal prestige would he have?

France's revolutionary ideas were flocking into Spain with the French War. Even if the Spanish aristocrats did not rebel, who could guarantee that the Spanish people who were "infected" by the French Revolutionary ideas would revolutionize him, a foolish monarch?

Carlos IV did not want to walk on the guillotine like Louis XVI.

Since Louis XVI was chopped off his head, all European countries have regarded revolutionary ideas as violent as a flood. It can be seen from the strong intervention of the grassroots newspaper industry in various countries.

"Your Majesty, those local nobles can be won over their hearts with the interests of other regions, such as the Kingdom of Portugal.

The Spanish Peninsula has been split for too long, and it is time to unify.

At that time, all the Spanish nobles who participated in the war could get a share in Portugal, and as long as your Majesty has a great victory in defeating the Portuguese Kingdom, he will naturally become the king loved by the Spanish people again!"

Queen Louisa suddenly interrupted, "Can we defeat the Kingdom of Portugal?

The relationship between the Kingdom of Portugal and the London government is very good. When we attack the Kingdom of Portugal, the British will definitely support the Lisbon government."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Queen.

The British are just powerful in naval forces. Can they still drive warships to land to fight us?

What's more, the Kingdom of Portugal is not worth the price of the London government at all, and the London government will not risk declaring war on the Kingdom of Spain for the Kingdom of Portugal.

By the Kingdom of Portugal alone, they only have more than 2 million people, while our Kingdom of Spain has more than 10 million people.

The army of the Kingdom of Portugal was not large, while the Kingdom of Spain had 80,000 troops that had been through many battles. It could also recruit some noble private soldiers and serf soldiers to participate in the battle. In any aspect, the Kingdom of Portugal could not be an opponent of the Kingdom of Spain.

Moreover, we do not need to completely destroy the Kingdom of Portugal. As long as we win the war, we force the Lisbon government to cede land and pay compensation, His Majesty Carlos IV and His Majesty Louisa can rest assured and recover the losses caused by the Faspis War."

Carlos IV and Queen Louisa looked at each other, and both sides saw a positive choice in each other's eyes.

Not bad, it can't beat France to pick a weak opponent to regain national confidence. This method is reliable!

"Okay, but don't preach the independence of Catalonia for the first time. After signing an alliance treaty with the Levi government, find a reason to declare war on the Kingdom of Portugal. After winning the Kingdom of Portugal, the news of Catalonia's independence will be made public."

Carlos IV was worried about unrest in the country and ordered Prime Minister Godoy.

"According to your will, my Majesty."

After the Kingdom of Spain agreed to the armistice treaty, Livi was not surprised. As long as the Spanish government was still rational, they would agree to the armistice clause.

At least Li Wei felt that the request he made was not an exaggeration at all!

In this way, the Aragon family, who had been eating and drinking in France, and his exiled government, could finally return to Barcelona to continue to oppress the Catalan people.

This is not the most critical. With the existence of the nail in the Kingdom of Catalonia, when Li Wei breaks up with the Kingdom of Spain in the future, a large group of leaders will help.

Today's Catalans have a bloody feud with the Spanish. Livi believes that the Catalans are happy to help the French conquer the Spanish kingdom and take revenge.

However, the next move by the Spanish Kingdom made Li Wei confused.

After the Kingdom of Spain withdrew all its troops, it immediately deployed troops on the border of the Kingdom of Portugal, and then asked to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Portugal to search on the grounds of a private's loss in Portugal.

It's okay to just search for ordinary searches. The Kingdom of Spain will send an army of 80,000 to search for a lost private. Are the ministers of the Lisbon government in a vague way?

Isn't this an invasion?

Since this is the case, the Kingdom of Portugal is not polite and directly refuses and launches war mobilization at home.

Unfortunately, the Spanish Army, which has been fighting for wars, is not a vegetarian. Even a group of pigs has been trained after fighting for so long. How could the Army of the Kingdom of Portugal, which has been peaceful for a long time, react?

The Spanish Kingdom Army directly pressed the top with Mount Tai, and with the advantage of artillery and military strength, it quickly advanced towards the capital of Lisbon at the speed of one city a day.

This caught the Portuguese Kingdom off guard. They didn't even have time to negotiate with the London government for help, so they had to gather troops, and even militias dared not let go and resist the Spanish invasion.

As a result, the Portuguese Kingdom Army, which had no time to collect national forces and no time to recall reserve veterans, was completely defeated by the Spanish Army in a day and a night under various disadvantages.
