In Toledo, Spain, in a luxurious palace decorated with a large number of oriental colors, Spanish King Fernando II and Isabella I are discussing national affairs.
"The English pirates do not seem to intend to fulfill the signed challenge agreement. This year's war indemnity has been refused to be paid, and Henry VII has been threatening to take back the ceded land and continues to recruit troops."
Isabella I said worriedly that she finally won the war last year. Before she had even tasted the cake of victory, the English pirates planned to tear up the treaty.
"Have they paid the Ming Empire's war reparations?"
Fernando thought for a while and asked.
"It is said that all payments have been completed."
Isabel I replied.
"Humph~"
"These English pirates seem to be more afraid of the Ming Empire than us. I think it is necessary to let them know how powerful our Spanish matadors are."
When Fernando heard this, he immediately became even more angry.
Who are you looking down on? The Ming Empire has paid all its war reparations, but it still owes Spain its war reparations. This difference in treatment is too obvious.
"I think so too~"
"However, England and France have a very good relationship. The two countries have become very close recently, and our alliance agreement with Ming Dynasty has expired, and Ming Dynasty has never agreed to renew the agreement with us."
"The English must know this, so they dare to treat us so differently."
Isabella I nodded and said, "Perhaps we can form an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire."
"This is a good idea. I think Maximilian should be very happy with it. Recently, they seem to be facing tremendous pressure from the Ottoman Empire and are in urgent need of allies."
Fernando also expressed his agreement after pondering for a while.
Because the Ottoman Empire was severely repaired by the Ming Empire, it not only lost its huge territory in the South Caucasus, but also had to bear huge war reparations.
In order to shift its burden, the Ottoman Empire has continued to use foreign troops during this period. On the one hand, it aggressively attacked the Persian Empire, and on the other hand, it mobilized a large number of troops to fight in Eastern Europe.
The knights in Europe were defeated one after another. Hungary was almost unable to support it and had to ask for help from the Holy Roman Empire. However, even the support of the Holy Roman Empire still could not withstand the advance of the Ottoman Empire. .
The Ottoman Empire learned many very useful tactics from the Ming Empire¡¯s army, and the European knights could not find the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
"Then it's settled~"
Isabella I agreed.
"Hmm~"
Fernando also nodded.
Thinking about it also shows how powerful and terrifying the Ming Empire was. Losing such an important ally would make life difficult for Spain. Especially if it wants to continue to maintain its position as the number one brother in Europe, it will need to face more challenges. .
The French in the north are larger than Spain in both land area and population, especially in terms of military strength. They have always been known as the strongest army in Europe.
The French are against the Spanish everywhere. From the fight for Naples in Italy to the fight for Corsica and Sicily, the contradiction between the French and the matadors is very big.
There is also the Portuguese in the southwest. Although they were dealt with once last year, the Portuguese have never surrendered to Spain. Without the deterrence of the Ming Empire, the Portuguese began to rapidly develop their own maritime power.
There is also the Ottoman Empire on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. Because it participated in the war between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, it dealt a heavy blow to the capital of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire has always held a grudge, and now it continues to support pirates from all over the country to loot and plunder Spanish ships, the Mediterranean Ports, villages, etc. along the coast.
These are all challenging Spain¡¯s status and hegemony, but Spain does not have the powerful and terrifying strength like the Ming Empire, which is powerful enough to beat anyone who doesn¡¯t like it.
Spain doesn¡¯t have it, it¡¯s far from having this strength.
??Whether it is land or population, or military strength, economic strength, etc., Spain is too far behind, so Spain needs allies.
"Your Majesty, something happened~"
Just when the two of them were having a headache about their alliance, a minister hurried over and said.
"What happened?"
?sp; Fernando¡¯s ambitions are also very big, especially as Spain¡¯s national power is booming and becoming stronger and stronger. Last year, they won the war against three, which greatly stimulated the Spanish ambitions.
In the past, he just wanted to dominate Europe, but now he still wants to unify Europe, which shows his ambition.
"Unifying Europe is too far away~"
¡°Let¡¯s annex Portugal first~¡±
"While Portugal's strength has not yet recovered and England has no time to worry about it, we should launch a war as soon as possible to completely annex Portugal."
"As long as we can annex Portugal, our strength will be greatly increased."
¡°The most important reason why the Ming Empire was powerful was because they implemented a unified imperial system with a vast territory and a large population.¡±
"Hmm~"
"The annexation of Portugal is very important, but the colonies in Africa must also be occupied at a faster pace. The colonial strongholds on the southern coast of the Mediterranean and the West African coastline must be occupied at a faster pace."
¡°The Ming Empire has almost occupied the entire coastal area of ??East Africa and has a tendency to expand to West Africa. If these places fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult for us to seize them again.¡±
"In fact, we should not have recognized the Ming Empire's ownership of the Americas in the first place. It is such a vast place that we can't get involved now. It is such a pity!"
