November 1st, Portugal Golden Gun Bureau.
Karsus, the director of the European Bureau of the Golden Gun Bureau, took a puff of the cigar, passed it around in his mouth and spit it out gently.
"Bond, can I trust your abilities?"
After Jason Bond blew out a beautiful cigar ring, he always criticized himself.
"Lori Karsus, what's wrong with you today? You and I, my fellow countrymen, have been together for so long, and you still doubt my ability to work."
Bond is very confident in his ability to work. As the Spanish intelligence station chief of the bureau, he has always worked efficiently and effectively.
Bond has been doing spy infiltration in Spain, and the results are remarkable.
Although Nade cannot say that he knows everything about the Spanish government's intelligence, the general dynamics are still very clear.
Bond not only made outstanding contributions to Spain's intelligence, he also contributed greatly to the growth of Spain's anti-government national forces.
The Spanish government has always been wary of separatist forces and has been suppressing and co-opting independent national forces in various ways.
Before the establishment of the Yinbi Alliance, the anti-government independent forces in Spain were very weak. However, with the support and help of Tang Ning and Francisco Francisco, most of the forces were integrated and their influence became stronger and stronger.
In areas outside Castile, the main body of Spain, now under the operation of the Imbilia League, calls for independence are getting louder and louder.
In the process of the Imbilia Alliance growing from scratch, the Spanish station of the Golden Gun Bureau led by Bond made a significant contribution.
Spain's original national independence and separatist forces were quite fragmented. It was precisely because of Bond's matchmaking that the conditions for the birth of the Imbilia League, a great Spanish division, were created.
After the birth of the Imbilia Alliance, the organization was also severely suppressed by the Spanish authorities. However, thanks to the help of Bond's intelligence, it escaped several major dangers.
The Imbilia Alliance has not suffered any setbacks in Spain in recent years, and there have been many criminals in the organization, but because of Bond's existence, the organization has not been destroyed.
"Bond, I know your abilities, but there is a very important task now. It is very important to our future in Portugal. I don't know if you have the ability to complete it well."
Hearing the serious words of his old friend Karsus, Bond immediately paid attention, because he understood that there was absolutely nothing trivial about Portugal's future.
"Karsus, what mission makes you so serious?"
"We, Portugal and Spain, are bound to go to war, you know, right?"
"Of course I know this. These days our Golden Gun Bureau is responsible for contacting the Imbilia Alliance and transporting guns and ammunition to assist their uprising, just to give Spain a hard blow in the rear."
Bond knew everything about the Imbilia Alliance, and he also knew their bases in Spain.
In recent times, Bond is responsible for the specific delivery locations of Portugal's weapons support to the Imbilia Alliance.
"Bond, it's not enough for the Golden Gun Bureau to do just this.
His Majesty Pedro III summoned me not long ago. His Majesty the Emperor praised the work of our Golden Gun Bureau in Spain, but in the end he gave us an important task. "
"We have done enough in Spain, but His Majesty the Emperor has asked us to go further in those areas."
"His Majesty the Emperor asked us to carry out sabotage operations behind enemy lines in Castile. He wants us to destroy the Spanish military industries, bridges, and important factories."
"Hiss~" Bond took a deep breath after hearing the mission given to the Golden Gun Bureau by His Majesty the Emperor.
Only then did he understand why Karsus said that. "Your Majesty's mission is too big. This, this is indeed beyond my capabilities."
The main body of Spain is Castile, which is the most stable place in Spain and the core of Spain.
As for the country of Spain, the Catalans and Galicians don't care and wish to disintegrate. However, as the ruling nation, the Castilians have absolutely no such idea. They are the ones who most want to maintain Spain as a whole.
The Golden Gun Bureau's espionage activities in Spain focus on areas outside Castile. In Castile, money has always been the main bribery, through money-based corruption offensives against Spanish government personnel. And obtained Spanish intelligence.
In the Castile region, Bond's Golden Gun Spanish Station has always focused on obtaining intelligence and has not effectively penetrated the grassroots in the region.
Now His Majesty the Emperor has asked the Golden Gun Bureau to destroy the strategic focus of Castile. This is really a huge test for Bond, beyond the scope of the Spanish station.
Of course Tangning knew that this was beyond the capabilities of the Golden Gun Bureau, but he had to let the Golden Gun Bureau do it because it was related to whether Portugal could end the war quickly.
Although Spain is now in decline, there are still three-inch nails in the broken ship. In the Castile region as the main body, Spain has still built many military factories and industrial factories, and the transportation is relatively convenient.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Spain's industry is poor, but after the lessons of the Spanish-American War, Spain has invested heavily in military industry, especially army military industry.
The army is not as expensive as the navy. The Spanish navy was completely hopeless after the Spanish-American War, so the government naturally wants to focus its national defense on the army.
Today's Spanish military industry is quite good. Basic guns can be completely produced by themselves and the quality is good. As for cannons, the production lines for calibers below 105mm are complete. Although there are few production lines and insufficient output for calibers above 105mm, they can still be produced in the final analysis.
If Spain withstands Portugal's first attack, its military forces behind it will be deeply mobilized. In such a situation, the two countries are likely to engage in a war of attrition.
Tang Ning, as a person from later generations, of course knows what the essence of war relies on.
In addition to fighting for the army, war also requires fighting for military industry, logistics, food, sugar and other strategic materials.
Only novices can look at the number of troops. Only those who really understand the military know that war is about national power and materials.
Portugal, although it has been reformed for almost a year, is not much better than Spain. Although Brazil can support Portugal, the distance between the two places is too long, which will delay things.
For the re-established Portuguese Empire, fighting a protracted war would be very harmful.
As time goes by, European and American arms dealers and capitalists do not recommend selling Spanish military supplies.
In order to protect the integrity of the country, the Spanish government will definitely grit its teeth and fight Portugal to the end. As long as it does not lose its war potential, it will fight until the last moment.
To destroy Spain's resistance, Portugal could only destroy their strategic support and destroy their strategic potential before it was fully activated.
Without the military and industrial power, logistics has been paralyzed, supplies have been destroyed, and the sea has been blocked. No matter how strong Spain is, it cannot support it.
It's a pity that if the Portuguese aircraft were as good as World War II, Tangning would only need to get the distance to bomb, and there would be no need for the Golden Gun Bureau to take such a big risk.
This aircraft condition is unrealistic and will affect history. Tangning has no chance to do it, and she might not do it even if she has the chance.
In the Russo-Japanese War, little Japan caused chaos behind enemy lines in Russia. This had a lot to do with the victory of the war.
Tang Ning, facing Spain, wanted a quick victory. It would not be enough to just let the Spanish separatist forces revolt. The strategic foundation of Castile must also be destroyed.
"Bond, this is a fatal order given to us by His Majesty the Emperor. One hundred thousand pounds have been allocated for the implementation of the task, so we must do it hard."
Karsus patted Bond on the shoulder, and then continued: "You are the head of the Spanish station, and you are the one who knows the most about the situation in Spain. This matter will definitely fall on you.
Regardless of whether you are capable enough or not, you will definitely get the upper hand in the end. As your old friend, if you need anything, tell me as much as possible and I will definitely satisfy you. If I cannot satisfy you, I will apply to His Majesty the Emperor and he will definitely approve it.
His Majesty the Emperor said that the Golden Gun Bureau must destroy Spain's strategic potential at all costs, so for the Emperor and Portugal, we must complete the mission. "
