The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 89: Restoration of local order

In the past few months, social order has gradually recovered, but the Carlos and Republicans are still fighting guerrillas in the northern mountains.

Although their space for activity has been compressed step by step, the threat is always there.

In particular, their active area is close to the Basque Country, which may have an impact on mining. It is because of this concern that the French have only maintained low-efficiency mining until now.

It's time to get rid of them.

It is not impossible to fight on the two fronts. It takes a bit of energy. It is better to eliminate the Carlos faction first, and then send the reorganized army to Cuba.

On March 5th, the two legions in the north and the French volunteers began to gather in one place, and they were no longer distributed throughout the north as before.

The large-scale mobilization of troops was naturally beyond the eyes of Carlos, but the government did not intend to hide it from anyone. They even informed France in advance that it was going to start a "decisive battle."

However, France does not have the time to take care of this matter. It just said that it "knows" and it has not sent an observer mission.

Compared with this stable security war, another turmoil in France is obviously more important:

In January, Bonaparte’s royal relatives killed a reporter who angered him in public!

After nearly two months of pressure and discussion, the results of the handling of this incident are about to be announced. If nothing else, the royal family will further compromise to the left.

It is said that the new prime minister is probably the liberal Olivier. He is not a leftist, but he is not a rightist. For Nasan, this is a rare concession.

Therefore, the French who are busy with political struggles have no time to manage the little things in Spain.

In Alfonso's view, this is a closer preview of the Franco-Prussian War. If there is a progress bar for the Franco-Prussian war, this incident will undoubtedly fill a big box.

On this timeline, the free government did not publicly announce that it would welcome Prince Leopold, avoiding an important fuse.

However, the time of war may change, but the outbreak of war is beyond doubt. The progress bar vacated by the Spanish throne event will inevitably be compensated by other events.

Even when the atmosphere arrives, France can directly start a war with a sentence requesting the dissolution of the North German Confederacy, without any fuse.

...

The French were indifferent to this little battle, but for His Majesty Carlos, it was a matter of life and death.

Obviously, they have no chance of winning in the face-to-face battle. As the official definition of Spain and France says, the war between the two has changed from a war for Spanish dominance to a partial war of suppression of bandits.

Carlos felt very sad about this change, but the reality did not tolerate his sadness. He was leading his men to a stronghold at the foot of the mountain.

As the saying goes, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, Carlos faction's stronghold is far more than this number.

The entire Carlos sent an army of close to 30,000, distributed in many different places in the north, not far from each other, but not too close.

Carlos himself led the largest of them, with close to 9,000 people, and the most elite of them. If they were destroyed, other troops would collapse without fighting.

They are the main targets of this military operation.

"Sure no one will follow, right?" Carlos asked his adjutant Jose Carvaero, riding on a tall Andalusian horse.

"I've confirmed it again and again, no one." Jose assured, riding a horse slightly back.

They defended not only the government forces, but also the Republican Army.

Since the confluence of the Carlos faction and the Republican Army, they have been attacked a lot more times, many times they were attacked just after they settled down.

Many of their itineraries are made on an ad hoc basis. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary soldiers to confide in advance information, and there is a high probability that there will be internal responses from the higher-ups.

Compared to doubting himself, Carlos is obviously more willing to doubt the Republicans.

Had it not been for the Republicans to join the people who were dissatisfied with the monarchy in various places, and the team had grown to more than 10,000 people, he would have been unable to help speaking.

It is not like it is now, it is difficult to intervene if you want to manage, and if you want to part ways, you can't bear the power of the Republicans.

Carlos can only silently bury his doubts in his heart. Hypnotizing himself is a diversion of the government's attention. There are a lot of spies, and the residents along the road are whispering.

However, after investigating the mobilization of government forces this time, they quickly separated from Ruben and the others, for fear that they should be given to them.

"This assembly of the rebels will definitely open up defensive loopholes in other areas." Carlos took out the map on horseback and scribbled towards Jose.

"We take this road, then cross the river, take the small road, and when we reach the fork in the road, we will talk to the people below, we must make sure that we are foolproof!"

Jose nodded, and then patrolled the whole army again, checking for spies behind him from time to time.

No one saw it, he secretly threw some notes on the road while he was investigating.

Carlos never expected that the adjutant who accompanied him when he grew up would be an internal response...

In fact, Jose Dang hasn't worked for a long time, and it took more than a month before and after.

The main reason was that he saw Spain return to stability, and knew that the Carlos faction had no hope of victory. To continue fighting would only be death or exile, and it would leave a reputation for future generations.

He persuaded Carlos to flee Spain while there is still some capital, but the other party does not listen, then it is no wonder that he, after 20 years of friendship, is no better than family and interests.

He is less than 30 years old, and he doesn't want to welcome a life without seeing the future.

So when the Progressive Guard came to the door, he agreed without thinking.

The member of the Progressive Guard disguised himself as the Republican Army. Although he didn't say it directly, Jose estimated that the Republican Army's problem was not small, which confirmed his choice.

...

On the other side, the Republican Army, the situation is much worse than that of the Carlos faction.

Because their most glorious leader, the most tenacious Republican fighter, Lieutenant Ruben, is an internal response.

He naturally led tens of thousands of people to the ambushed site that he had negotiated in advance.

...

The result was also no surprise. The two factions that had lost their concealment were quickly defeated. After a few battles, the government troops that had been prepared for a long time did not even die.

Faced with opponents whose equipment and number were superior to their own, they were still attacked. Many people dropped their guns and surrendered as soon as they met each other, failing to organize a decent counterattack at all.

In the end, the two factions were disintegrated and Ruben was appointed as Adolf's deputy.

The betrayal of the Republican generals' anger towards Ruben is not to be mentioned, but he does not care about the abuse of future unpaid railroad workers.

As for Carlos, he was allowed to escape abroad under Alfonso’s instruction. After all, he can’t be dealt with if he stays in the country. At most, he can be put in prison. In this way, some conservative criminals must mutter and let them go. never mind.

Carlos's political ideals are hated by the dogs, and he has no ability or influence on his own. Even the United States, which accommodates hundreds of rivers, does not want to help him.

But he finally went to the United States, because no one wanted to take in, at least he could be a rich man in the United States.

...

At this point, Spain's mainland has completely returned to peace, and the government has more than 30,000 free workers in its hands (part of the arrest process ran away).

For these extreme rightists and leftists, Alfonso has no sympathy, and they will most likely die on the way to build railroad tracks.

After completing the mission in Spain, the French volunteers returned to their hometowns.

The Spanish Civil War helped them train two batches of young troops with a total of 40,000. This is unprecedented in history. Maybe the Second French Empire can last an extra day this time.
