Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1115, the conflict of interests

Jiang Liang looked at Colster who looked very angry, smiled and said: "Henry VII of England really doesn't have much credit, I wonder what you Spain are going to do?"

"My friends, it's not what Spain is going to do, it's what we're going to do."

Upon hearing this, Colster immediately emphasized.

"The Treaty of London was signed by Spain and the Ming Empire with England. Henry VII wants to tear up the agreement. This is not only related to our Spain, but also to your Ming Empire."

"But until now, Henry VII has not told us that he does not want to perform the contract."

Jiang Liang thought for a while and said.

"That would be even more terrifying~"

"You must be close to England and the Holy See. The Holy See not only gives financial support to Henry VII, but also sends people to help Henry VII train the army."

"Everyone is aware of the conflict between the Holy See and your country. It is obvious that they will not leave Hong Kong alone."

"Once they are strong, they will definitely take back Hong Kong by force. Once that time comes, Hong Kong is far away from your Ming mainland. Even though Ming has a million-strong army and a powerful fleet, it still takes a long time to send it to Europe. "

Upon hearing this, Colter said quickly.

But he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his great Spain is actually not as powerful as Daming's deterrence.

Even on the European side, the English were more afraid of the Ming people than they were of Spain. They dared to ask Spain to break the contract, but they dared not ask Daming to break the contract.

There is no way, the strength of Ming Dynasty has spread throughout Europe.

The Ming Dynasty has a vast and boundless territory, a huge population of [-] million, an army of one million enough to sweep the world, and an extremely powerful fleet.

Portugal, England, and France fought all over the place with just one fleet, and reversed Spain's defeat in one fell swoop. The [-] troops swept across the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Ottoman Empire to sign an alliance under the city.

All of this was spread throughout Europe, letting every European country know how powerful and terrifying Ming was. Even if the Holy See was slapped severely by Daming people, the Holy See would not dare to go to war with Daming directly. Daming can be disgusted by some means.

This is Daming, so powerful that European countries would never dare to provoke it easily. Even if it is as powerful as the Ottoman Empire, it has been repaired and docile.

Compared with the Ming Empire, Spain is still too far behind.

"You have a good point, my friend."

"Then do you have any good suggestions?"

Jiang Liang thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement. This place is indeed far away from Da Ming, and Da Ming has no strength here except for a fleet of more than a dozen warships and an army of [-].

The nearest military force is still on the Mediterranean side, and it will take at least half a month to come here.

"We in Spain hope to form an alliance with Ming Dynasty again. As long as we form an alliance, England will not dare to tear up the treaty easily. If they dare to tear up the treaty, we can join forces again and attack London again to let the English pirates know how powerful we are. "

Kolster suggested without thinking.

Spain needs to form an alliance with Ming too much. Since the alliance with Ming expired, Spain feels that its majesty seems to be constantly being provoked.

First, the French wanted to compete with the Spaniards in Italy and the Mediterranean, then Italy wanted to take back Sicily, and then Portugal seemed to be dishonest, and West Africa and North Africa became active again.

Now England actually wants to tear up the signed agreement, not only to return to Hampshire, but even to pay war reparations.

This made Spain feel extremely angry, like a lion that has been repeatedly provoked.

You must know that Spain won the war with the Three Kingdoms, and followed Ming Dynasty to attack the Ottoman Empire, which is enough to demonstrate the strength of Spain.

But he was still being provoked constantly, which made the ambitious Spaniard feel very annoyed, and wanted to find a chance to teach the rooster who jumped the most, and then kill the rooster for the monkey to see.

Of course, the Spaniards are also very aware of the importance of forming an alliance with Ming, because even though Ming is far away in the east, the power of Ming can already affect all aspects of Europe.

"My friend, although I also think that the alliance between our Daming and your country is beneficial to both of us, but this is not something I can decide. I will report your suggestions to our Daming son. As for whether it can be achieved, It still depends on what it means.”

Jiang Liang thought for a while and replied.

Naturally, it is impossible to form an alliance. Ming's policy in Europe is a policy of glorious isolation. The most hopeful thing is that you Europeans will fight and fight on your own, and Ming will make a fortune from the war.

"That's a pity~"

Kirst sighed helplessly.

Spain has made such requests to Daming more than once, but they were all rejected by Daming.

"My friends, if Henry VII really tore up the treaty, what are you going to do?"

Then he thought about it and asked again.

"That's of course using cannon to get them to continue to fulfill the treaty."

Jiang Liang replied without thinking.

"That's all right, and we in Spain mean the same thing."

"If the English pirates don't plan to fulfill the contract, can we send troops together then?"

"Even if we're not allies, I think our interests should be aligned on this point."

Carster nodded in satisfaction.

"There is no doubt that our Ming Dynasty will send troops. Please rest assured that the London Treaty is not only related to Spain, but also related to our Ming Dynasty."

"Our Daming will not sit back and watch them break the contract."

Jiang Liang gave a clear answer this time.

"Then will your Ming Dynasty continue to increase troops to Hong Kong?"

Karlster laughed immediately, this sentence is enough.

If Henry VII really tore up the treaty, Spain would not have to deal with it alone, at least there was Ming, and with the strength of Ming, it would be enough to send a fleet at will.

"It's not up to me to decide, but I think the current strength is enough to protect our Ming's interests here."

"If Henry VII tears up the treaty, I think the great Spain should have enough power to deal with them."

Jiang Liang replied with a smile.

"Although our Spanish strength is not as strong as your Ming Dynasty, it is naturally the strongest in Europe."

"However, England and France seem to have concluded an alliance, the Portuguese are dishonest, and the Republic of Venice seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the distribution of interests in the Mediterranean."

"We lost to Spain with two fists and four hands. We still need Da Ming's support. As long as Da Ming is willing to support us in Spain, everything will be fine."

Kirst thought for a while and said.

"The French have made an alliance with England?"

When Jiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but opened his eyes slightly and asked.

"Yes, they have formed an alliance, and they are all vigorously developing their sea power. This year, they have sent two fleets to West Africa and North Africa respectively, intending to get their hands on African colonies."

Carster nodded solemnly.

The places in the world that have not yet been occupied by the Ming are West Africa and North Africa. As for other places, almost all of them have been occupied by the Ming people.

So on the European side, as long as there are ambitious countries, they are expanding to West Africa and North Africa, intending to seize the colonies in these places.

Among them, Spain is the most active. They are now in full swing and powerful, and they have followed Ming Dynasty to win wars one after another. They have established many colonial strongholds in West Africa and North Africa.

Then came the Portuguese, who originally expanded to the east, and now they are vigorously establishing colonial strongholds in West Africa, and at the same time they are beginning to get involved in North Africa.

Then there are the rising stars of France, England, and the Vikings in Northern Europe. Italy and Venice in the Mediterranean are not to be outdone, trying to expand their influence in the Mediterranean and want to go to the ocean.

Even the Holy Roman Empire began to pay attention to the power and influence of the sea, developing sea power in the Baltic Sea and the Netherlands.

The current situation is that Spain and Portugal are the first to go to the sea, so they have gained good benefits. Spain has several islands on the Golden Continent, which are very conducive to trade with Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Spain owned Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea, grabbed several islands from the Ottoman Empire on the Aegean Sea, and expanded its colonies in North Africa.

These have allowed Spain to occupy a favorable position. Relying on these, Spain's business has developed extremely rapidly and earned a lot of wealth and benefits.

Portugal is much worse. According to the original Pope's meridian, Spain goes west and Portugal goes east. Portugal has already developed impressively in the Indian Ocean.

But who knew that when they met the powerful Ming Dynasty, they were not only driven out of the Indian Ocean, but were even severely damaged, and their strength was greatly damaged. However, Portugal still occupies the islands above important routes in the Atlantic Ocean, and has a large number of colonial strongholds in West Africa.

Relying on these, the Portuguese can still compete with the Spaniards.

But for England, France, Italy, Venice, and the Holy Roman Empire, they are rising stars. They have no colonies or islands overseas. If they want to expand abroad, they naturally want to compete with the previous countries for colonies and interests.

Naturally, these late nations allied themselves against Spain, and England and France came together again.
