August 10th, 1933
On a bright sunny day near the small town of Piedras Albas, several hundred trucks and tanks are seen carrying loads of soldiers, ammunition, and supplies towards the portuguese line. Intelligence of the growing threat to the east. Antonio de Oliveira Salazar who was an economics professor was the dictator of portugal during this time. As he hears the news from his military and foreign advisors. His expression starts to show panic and anger. His advisors suggest the peaceful solution of unconditional surrendor. But the military advisors suggest that they could hold firm until hopefully another country comes to their aid. The dictator shook his head.
“We do not have the strength nor the time to find aid. There army is far greater from you have told me General….Yet you wish to fight them when it will have a high cost. I will not plunge what we have worked to this point into rubble and blood. We will not fight and that is final. There is just no point in fighting a battle you cannot win.”
The next day the Dictator sends out a diplomat across the border and offers the unconditional surrender. The offer was accepted and on August 17th in the capital of portugal, the proccess of portugal being annexed to spain was done. However the treaty had stated that the dictator wished to continue governing the area of portugal. At first the spanish were hesitant but decided that he was an economic asset. The treaty was signed and apparently portugal became fuckin big.
Later that day reporters had shown up and have questioned was “What is your reason for spain to take portugal General Fransisco Franco?”
His reply was “Japan” and he walks off.
Meanwhile Japan's Emperor is pissed off.
