Although Ryu Shunting looks down on Europeans and has the arrogance and prejudice of Easterners, it has to be said that Spain is extremely powerful.
As the most powerful country in Europe, Spain's strength cannot be underestimated. It not only has a strong army, but also has strong maritime power.
There are a large number of islands in the Mediterranean, and there are a large number of colonies and colonial points in North and West Africa. It is even the only country with colonies in the Golden Continent.
It once formed an alliance with the Ming Empire and won two wars with England, France, and Portugal. From the war, it established its position as the big brother of Europe and gained a lot of war benefits.
At the same time, Spain was the first European country to have contacts with the Ming Empire. It had a good relationship with the Ming Empire. It purchased a large number 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 be quickly supported.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, it would not have been necessary for England, France, and Portugal, after it had waited, to resort to shameful and third-rate means, and used piracy to get a share of the huge interests of the colonies.
Liu Shunting was thinking carefully.
With the powerful force he carries this time, there are indeed many unpredictable risks in defeating the Spaniards. Once it fails, North Korea's situation in West Africa will be very bad.
If we form an alliance with the Persians and have allies who help each other to share the pressure, the situation will be much better.
It¡¯s just that Liu Shunting has always not thought highly of the Persian Empire. It doesn¡¯t even have its own navy and can¡¯t build powerful ships. To form an alliance with such a country, it is better to find an alliance with the Japanese.
The Japanese people are at least capable, and they are both vassal states of the Ming Dynasty and share a common cultural circle. They are also in urgent need of massive colonial expansion in West Africa.
"Master Liu~"
"This time I was ordered to lead 30,000 new troops to West Africa. All of these 30,000 new troops were built according to the army of the Ming Empire. All the weapons and equipment used were purchased from the Ming Empire and were officers from the Ming Empire. An army trained by one hand."
"I can take Mr. Liu to my military camp tomorrow. I don't think you will be disappointed."
"In addition, although our Persian Empire does not have a powerful navy, we have placed an order with the Tianjin Shipyard to purchase thirty large warships at one time, and are currently under intensive construction."
¡°With the strong shipbuilding capabilities of the Tianjin Shipyard, it will surely be delivered for use soon. By then, our Persian Empire will also have a strong maritime force.¡±
Korbanda saw Liu Shunting thinking about the pros and cons, and when he thought about it, he immediately understood what Liu Shunting was worried about. 牺如 yanmoxuanxiaoshuo.com&# 32牺如
It was simply that he felt that the Persian Empire was too weak, and if he formed an alliance with the Persian Empire, he would not receive strong support, so he quickly showed his bargaining chip.
"Oh~"
When Liu Shunting heard this, his old eyes suddenly flashed with light.
"If Korbanda said so, the ambition and strength of the Persian Empire cannot be underestimated, and forming an alliance with them would be a good choice.
Although the Japanese are ideal allies, they are now divided into two factions. One is the Japanese king faction, which is now the main force of the Japanese in West Africa, and the other is the shogun faction, which mainly operates the Indus River side of Tianzhu. colony.
The strength of the Japanese king faction is not as good as that of the shogunate faction. It relies on the support of a few powerful daimyo. It is definitely not as good as the Persian Empire. The entire 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 wants to hug tightly are the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty.
But the Ming Empire already had very large colonies overseas, and in West Africa it was mainly private colonial firms and vassal kings who were expanding their colonies.
The Spaniards and the Ming people still maintain an excellent tacit understanding and principle. Whoever captures it first will get it, and no one will rob the other. Of course, the Ming people disdain to rob the Spaniards, but Spain does not dare to Go grab the Ming Dynasty's colony.
? ?The colonies of the Ming Dynasty were in contact with each other, so they could not expand as much as they wanted, and it was also easy to offend the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese people.
Moreover, this is the age of navigation, and it is much more convenient to rely on ships than on land. The Spaniards may not be able to defeat themselves on land, but at sea, you, North Korea, may not be able to take advantage, and you may not be able to pick them up by then. To cheap.
After thinking about this clearly, Korbanda immediately agreed to Liu Shunting's proposal. The old fox was very calculating, but his ambition and vision were too small.
"Haha, if you agree to this, I think there will definitely be no problem with the alliance between our two countries."
When Liu Shunting heard this, he immediately laughed happily.
"However, Darius Island and Cambyses in the Persian Empire will definitely belong to us, and we will never give them up."
Korbanda smiled and said.
"Of course, as long as you can take it back, we naturally have no objection."
Liu Shunting agreed immediately. Anyway, it is in the hands of the Spaniards. If you can take it back, that is the ability of you Persians.
"Then please invite Mr. Du and Mr. Li to be witnesses. We will draft an alliance agreement together and report it back to the country?"
