Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1490, Start to divide the territory?
Although Liu Shunting said that he looked down on Europeans extremely, and had the arrogance and prejudice of Orientals, but it has to be said that Spain has extremely strong strength.

As the most powerful country in Europe, Spain's strength cannot be underestimated. Not only does it have a strong army, but it is also powerful at sea.

There are a large number of islands in the Mediterranean, and there are a large number of colonies and colonial points in North Africa and West Africa, and it is even the only country that has colonies in the Golden Continent.

It once even formed an alliance with the Ming Empire, and won two wars with England, France, and Portugal. From the war, it established itself as the big brother of Europe and gained a lot of war benefits.

At the same time, Spain was the first European country to communicate with the Ming Empire. It has a good relationship with the Ming Empire. It bought a large amount of arms, weapons and warships from the Ming Empire, and learned from the Ming Empire to form a powerful new army and navy.

It is definitely not an easy task to seize their colonies from such a powerful country, especially when West Africa is very close to the Spanish mainland and their strength can quickly support them.

Otherwise, England, France, and Portugal would not have to use shameful and low-level methods to get a share of the huge profits of the colonies in the way of pirates.

Liu Shunting was thinking carefully.

With the powerful force I carried this time, there are indeed many unpredictable risks in defeating the Spaniards. If it fails, the situation of North Korea in West Africa will be very bad.

It would have been much better to have an alliance with the Persians, with allies who helped each other to share the pressure.

It's just that Liu Shunting didn't think highly of the Persian Empire all the time. He didn't even have his own navy, and he couldn't build powerful ships. To form an alliance with such a country, it would be better to find an alliance with the Japanese.

At least the Japanese people are capable, and they are also a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and they share a common cultural circle. There is also an urgent need to expand colonies in West Africa.

"Lord Liu~"

"This time I was ordered to lead [-] new troops to West Africa. All the [-] new troops were built according to the army of the Ming Empire, and all the weapons and equipment used were purchased from the Ming Empire, or officers from the Ming Empire. A single-handedly trained army."

"Tomorrow, I can take Mr. Liu to my barracks to have a look. I don't think you will be disappointed."

"In addition, although our Persian Empire does not have a powerful navy, we have already placed an order with Daming Tianjin Shipyard to purchase [-] large warships at one time, and they are currently under intensive construction."

"With the strong shipbuilding capacity of Tianjin Shipyard, it will be delivered soon, and our Persian Empire will also have a strong sea force by then."

Seeing Liu Shunting thinking about the pros and cons, Korbanda immediately understood what Liu Shunting was worried about.

It was nothing more than that he felt that the strength of the Persian Empire was too weak. If he formed an alliance with the Persian Empire, he would not get strong support, so he also quickly showed his bargaining chip.

"Oh~"

When Liu Shunting heard this, a gleam flashed in his old eyes.

If Korbanda said it, the ambition and strength of the Persian Empire should not be underestimated, and it would be a good choice to form an alliance with them.

Although the Wa people are ideal alliance targets, the Wa people are now divided into two factions, one is the Wa King faction, which is also the main force of the Wa people in West Africa, and the other is the Shogun faction, which mainly manages the Tianzhu Indus River. colony.

The Japanese King faction is not as powerful as the Shogunate faction, and it is supported by a few powerful daimyos. It is definitely not as good as the Persian Empire. The whole country is supporting this matter.

It's a pity that the Ming Empire seems to have no interest in West Africa at all. In fact, the thighs that North Korea most want to hold tight are Daming's thick legs.

However, the Ming Empire already had very large overseas colonies, and in West Africa, mainly private colonial firms and feudal lords were expanding their colonies.

There is still an excellent tacit understanding and principle between the Spaniards and the Ming people. Whoever occupies it first will belong to him, and no one will snatch it. Of course, the Ming people disdain to rob the Spaniards, but Spain dare not Go grab the colony of the Ming people.

The relationship between the two sides is very good, and they will never go to Spain with the North Koreans.

"In principle, I agree to form an alliance with your country. Of course, such an important matter still needs to be reported to our monarch to make a decision. I can only say that our two countries have common interests in this matter." interests, there is the possibility of an alliance."

Liu Shunting thought for a long time and replied.

"Of course, I also want to report back to His Majesty Ismaili and ask him to make the final decision."

Corbanda smiled and nodded.

Du Mingen on the side narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face.

The looting of the West African colonies seems to be entering a feverish stage soon, and the competitors have already begun to form alliances. It is estimated that a war will break out in West Africa soon.

It seems that I can stock up on ammunition, weapons, food and the like first, and then I will definitely be able to sell them at a good price.

"Oh, it's a pity. I don't know what Liu Jin thinks. Everyone is scrambling to snatch the Gold Coast in West Africa, but we can only stay silent in South Africa."

"Otherwise, wherever there is something about them, our South African United Commercial Bank can take it all."

Du Mingen thought in his heart.

The South African colony is very different from other colonies. Although it is powerful, it is not keen on opening up colonies and colonial strongholds in various places.

Instead, it has been continuously expanding northward in South Africa, driving out the native Kunlun slaves, and obtaining a large amount of land, but they don't want slaves, so they can only watch a large amount of land being barren, without flowering, and a large amount of gold Mines and silver mines are not mined either.

This made Du Mingen a little puzzled, and he didn't grasp the great opportunity. After that, after everyone finished robbing, there would be no South African colonial business.

"We might as well reach a preliminary agreement here first, and then send people back to their respective countries, and let the higher authorities decide."

Corbanda thought for a while and suggested.

"This is indeed a good proposal~"

"I just don't know the purpose of your Persian Empire this time?"

Liu Shunting thought for a while and nodded in agreement, but still wanted to know how ambitious the Persians were.

"Our purpose this time is very simple, that is, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, so that the Spaniards will pay enough for their stupid actions."

"We are going to launch an attack on the Spanish colonies and colonial strongholds on land, and wipe out the Spanish colonial strongholds along the coastline."

Corbanda pondered for a moment, then thought for a while and said.

"Pull out the colonial strongholds of Spain?"

Liu Shunting laughed all of a sudden, this is really a good ally, and he also has such a plan. He wants to rely on Yanshan City, first take away the Spanish colony here in Benin Bay, and then expand along the coastline.

"If our two countries form an alliance, you will attack the Spanish colonial strongholds from the Bay of Benin to the north and west, and our Korean country will attack south and east. What do you think?"

Liu Shunting rolled his eyes, thought for a while and suggested.

This is dividing the cake. This cut, centered on the Bay of Benin, divides the north and the south. It seems fair, but it is actually beneficial to North Korea.

To the west and north is the traditional Spanish colony, which has been in operation for many years and is closer to Europe. It must face the strong pressure of Spain.

To the south and east is the Gulf of Guinea, and the pressure is much less. When the Persians are in front, the Korean side can annex the Spanish colonies with confidence.

"If it's a condition of your alliance with North Korea, I don't see any problem."

Corbanda looked at Liu Shunting, an old fox, and he was very clear in his heart. He knew that if he fought according to this proposal, he would have to face the huge pressure from Spain.

But Korbanda didn't take it seriously, and had his own thoughts.

According to this proposal, the Persian Empire can continue to expand westward and northward without any scruples, because this vast area and land are colonies controlled by the Spaniards, and they only need to offend the Spaniards.

But if it expands to the south and east, it will come into contact with the colonies of the Wa people and the Ming people. There is no way to expand wantonly, and it is easy to offend the Ming people and the Wa people.

And now is the age of sailing, it is far more convenient to rely on ships than on land. The Spaniards may not beat themselves on land, but at sea, you North Korea may not necessarily take advantage of it, and you may not be able to take advantage of it at that time to cheap.

After thinking about this, Korbanda immediately agreed to Liu Shunting's proposal. The old fox is very calculating, but his ambition and vision are too small.

"Haha, if you agree with this, I think the alliance between our two countries will definitely be fine."

When Liu Shunting heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

"However, Darius Island and Cambyses of our Persian Empire must still belong to us, and we will never let them go."

Corbanda said with a smile.

"Of course, as long as you can take it back, we naturally have no objections."

Liu Shunting readily agreed, anyway, it is in the hands of the Spaniards, you can take it back, that is your Persian ability.

"Then invite Du Houye and Mr. Li to be witnesses, and we will draft an alliance agreement together and report back to the country?"

"No problem~"
