Rebirth of the Spanish Empire.

Chapter 44 Telegram from the British
  "Peng Peng Peng"

A knock came from outside the door.

"Please come in."

Alfonso straightened his clothes and shouted to the people outside the door.

Howard came in with a report and placed it respectfully on Alfonso's desk.

"Your Majesty, British Prime Minister Disraeli sent a telegram, and Prime Minister Canovas asked me to pass the document to your Majesty.

Regarding this matter, Your Majesty still needs to make a personal decision, and the naval officers of the Kingdom of Spain will act in accordance with your will.

Disraeli asked the Kingdom of Spain to deploy its naval fleet near Crete to form a combined fleet with their British Royal Navy.

In this way, a heavy blow was made to the arrogance of the Russian Imperial Army. "

Now the voices within the Russian Empire against the Ottoman Empire are getting louder and louder, and the voices for launching war are getting stronger.

Because previously, the British and the Ottoman Empire insulted the Russian Empire by amending the constitution.

As a result, the people within the Russian Empire are extremely dissatisfied with the Ottoman Empire and the British.

After taking the document sent by Howard, Alfonso frowned and looked at the document in his hand.

"Promise them, but first make it clear to the British: Our Spanish naval fleet will not obey the British's command, nor will it launch an attack on the Russian Empire."

Alfonso was really afraid of Disraeli and directly coerced the Kingdom of Spain to launch an attack on the Russian Empire.

Because doing so would not only involve the Kingdom of Spain in an unnecessary war, but would also result in the loss of a huge military order.

“Then the order not to fire on the Russians was conveyed to the commanders of our troops.

Now, the task of our Royal Spanish Navy is to learn from the British experience as much as possible.

Instead of acting as their little brother and launching an attack on the Russians, it will be harmful to our Kingdom of Spain. "

After Alfonso finished speaking, he looked at Howard, and then added:

“I need them to learn from the British as students, rather than with the attitude that the Kingdom of Spain is still a naval power.

While we were indeed powerful for centuries, today our navy lags behind the British.

Their task this time is very difficult. They must use the experience they learned from the British Royal Navy to make our Kingdom of Spain's navy powerful again. "

This opportunity to form a combined fleet can be described as a god-given opportunity for the Royal Spanish Navy.

After the formation of the United Fleet, the warships of the Kingdom of Spain were incorporated into the British Royal Navy fleet.

Every Spanish naval soldier is trained as a soldier of the British Royal Navy.

When these people come back, they will bring the British advanced naval concepts and accumulated experience back to the Kingdom of Spain.

And Alfonso, the time traveler, will guide him. The rise of the Kingdom of Spain's navy is only a matter of time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Howard felt a little relieved at Alfonso's words.

Howard grew up watching Alfonso. Alfonso has gone from being an eccentric person when he was a child to being so majestic now, which makes him feel that time flies by.

Howard was born in 1820, which made him fifty-six years old.

Although he does not look very old now, in the 19th century when the average life expectancy was less than fifty years old, Howard was an old man.

As Alfonso's closest minister, Howard did not have much of a presence in the government. He has never asked Alfonso for his own personal wishes, which is why Alfonso likes to use him.

After receiving Alfonso's answer, Howard slowly left the conference room of the palace, and the conference room of Noda fell into silence again.

……

In the Gulf of Murcia, at this time, the Royal Navy of the British Empire and the Navy of the Kingdom of Spain were slowly heading towards the gateway to the Black Sea.

The three warships from the Kingdom of Spain, as the three largest warships in the combined fleet, were also treated as the main force by the British Royal Navy at this time.

The deterrent force organized by dozens of giant warships can pry open the door of any non-powerful country and conquer that country.

For the weak Russian Black Sea Fleet, the number of warships in the combined fleet composed of Britain and Spain is quite terrifying.

For the Russians, who had just broken the restrictions of the Crimean War, deploying a naval fleet on the Black Sea can be said to be better than nothing.

At this time, on the Black Sea, the mighty combined fleet broke into the territorial waters of the Russians.

Three huge Spanish Kingdom warships, as well as a large number of British Navy ironclads, make this combined fleet look even more mighty and majestic.

It didn't take long for the Russian Black Sea guard ship to discover them. After all, with the size of the combined fleet, it was really difficult for people not to discover them.

"This is within the territorial waters of the Russian Empire. Please return the opposing fleet quickly!"

The Russian Black Sea guard ship directly raised a semaphore in response to this, and the guard ship on the other side also quickly passed the message towards the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

"This is within the territorial waters of the Russian Empire. Please return the opposing fleet quickly!
  Failure to return will be viewed as a provocation against the Russian Empire. "

The huge combined fleet made the captain of the Russian guard ship raise a semaphore again.

Looking at the Union Flag on the fleet, he already understood that the large naval fleet opposite was probably the British Royal Navy.

Let’s not talk about the size of this fleet. In this special period, only the British have the courage and strength to touch the Russian Empire's tiger's beard in this way.

Among the top three countries in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength, the French do not have this ability.

The French, surrounded by the Alliance of Three Emperors, did not dare to offend the "European steamroller" of the Russian Empire easily.

However, the British Empire, located in the British Isles, is obviously not afraid of this challenge. Unless the Russian Empire is on land and has been able to reach India.

"Your Majesty Commander, now that we have entered Russian territorial waters, what should we do next?"

The commander of the Combined Fleet is Vice Admiral Wolfgang of the Royal Navy. He was currently on board the Queen Isabella in the Kingdom of Spain, responsible for commanding naval battles.

"Ignore them, as long as these barbaric Russians don't want to be completely blocked by our Royal Navy.

They don't dare to do anything against us. Ledesma, you are an excellent naval commander.

I believe that in the future, in the Kingdom of Spain, you will have talents that are not inferior to mine, so you must watch and study hard now. "

Wolfgang did not object to Ledesma's Spanish identity.

On the contrary, this young man who was eager to learn with an open mind made Wolfgang feel good about him.

Volganf saw the shadow of his youth in Ledesma. And Ledesma's open-mindedness and studiousness made him even more fond of him.

Because now the young people in the Royal Navy can be said to have a heart higher than heaven. They had never been to a real battlefield, so they dared to question Volganf, who was a rear admiral.
