Fizzydog Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Private to Spain: "Our government would be pleased to host Mendoza. We invite you to the city of Rome." - Serafino Mazzolini, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywall Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Mendoza's arrival to Rome was the first time the head of state ever left the country, he had been preoccupied with establishing the new government and crushing Republic underground forces but in the last few years Spain was quiet. It was time to step out and begin building ties. Mendoza was escorted by 40 shock troopers, the deadliest soldiers in the Empire all armed with MP-18 submachine guns. The group made their way to their Italian hosts and awaited their greeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzydog Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 The Italian officials stationed outside The Westin Excelsior, the chosen spot for the meeting, greeted the Spanish envoy warmly. While some, including the Police Superintendent of Rome and the commanding officer of the Rome Blackshirt Guard Ulberto Adriano, saw the arrival of almost two dozen armed soldiers an uncomfortable and unacceptable move, most brushed it off as an overreaction by a nervous diplomat. In honor of the Emperor's visit, Italian and Spanish flags donned the streets and the hotel, while armed guards watched over every crevice and corner. The Italian officials led the Spaniards into the building, and into a private meeting room. Prior to opening the door, the Italian foreign ministry secretary Mazzolini turned to the guests. "I must have you know, in honor of your first diplomatic endeavor as sovereign head of state of the Spanish Empire, and in hope of greater relations between our nations, we have arranged a special meeting for you today." Upon opening the door, the group would be treated with a view of the Duce himself, Benito Mussolini. He was visibly ill; he was slouched in his chair, beads of sweat on his forehead, his face paler than a ghost. He greeted the Spanish envoy in his native tongue, which was translated by an interpreter sitting next to him. His voice, while hoarse and low, still spoke of a dominant leader. The interpreter shook hands with his guests, and bowed to the Emperor. "The Duce asks for you to please take a seat." He gestured towards the seats alongside Mussolini, surrounding a small round table carved from granite. A servant poured water for the Spanish leader.

Greywall Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Mendoza waved his guards away, there was no need for them here, now that he saw the once great Mussolini frail and weak. Mendoza would sit down next to him leaning over in the best Italian he could muster, "It is an honor to finally meet you" From there he would introduce his intentions. "Italy and Spain must take precautions for the future, if it is possible we should discuss increasing trade, and possibly a military pact to protect our interests. We only ask that Italy retain itself, we must be careful with the other European powers, a slight misstep could destroy what we worked so hard to build."

Fizzydog Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Benito nodded at the Spanish Emperor. He spoke in Italian, his voice raspy and quiet. After a few moments, the interpreter translated for the Spaniards. "The Duce says to not worry, that Italy has its finest minister running the nation, one who has been taught to avoid war without certain victory." The Duce took a sip of water, then spoke a few more words. "The Duce says Italy would be greatly interested in increased trade, and that a military pact would strengthen the cause of conservative and anti-bolshevik forces, and is a favorable option to our country."

Greywall Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Mendoza nodded in agreement, "It is necessary that we work together, our revolutions have met resistance from the rest of the world and if we don't cooperate we might lose everything." "I believe optional defense will be sufficient for now, and we open our ports to Italy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywall Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Iberia-Roma Accords (Optional Defense Optional Aggression Pact) The nations of Italy and Spain have come to an agreement to protect each other and preserve the Nationalist Revolution. Both Spain and Italy shall not impeded or interfere with each other's political ambition. Neither signatory will violate the sovereignty of the other, neither nation will plot or plan against the other. Economic cooperation will open ports and ease trade that will further benefit Spain and Italy. Cancellation of treaty requires internal communication and a public notice.
