- On Fernando Island in Guinea, West Africa (formerly Sao Tome Island), the Governor-General of West Africa, Duke Colste, was meeting with Dongfang Yue, a guest from Japan, in his Governor's Palace.
¡°I heard that Luanda in your Japanese country was attacked by pirates?¡±
Kolster took a leisurely sip of the fine tea from the Ming Dynasty, looked at the Japanese people in front of him, smiled and asked.
"Your Majesty the Duke, this is Fuyun City. Luanda was just a name given by Portugal in the past. Now it belongs to our Japanese country. It is already called Fuyun City, just like this beautiful island in front of us. It was originally called S?o Tom¨¦ Island and is now It¡¯s called Fernando Island.¡±
Dongfang Yue glanced at Duke Colster, knowing the other meaning behind his words, and smiled back.
The meaning is very simple, if you are unwilling to recognize our Japanese country¡¯s ownership of Fuyun City, our Japanese country is also unwilling to recognize your Spanish ownership of this Sao Tome Island.
"In addition, the colonies were all taken from the Portuguese. No one is better than the other. They are all robbers. There is no need to say this hypocritically here.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's called Fuyun City!"
Duke Colster smiled, thought for a while and said: "We in Spain have found out the origin of these pirates."
"The pirates who are now rampant in West and North Africa are supported by the Vikings from England, France, Portugal, the Netherlands and Northern Europe."
"Many of them were established by these countries directly providing money, personnel, and support. Pirates were even regular armies before, so their combat effectiveness was very strong, their actions were very fast, and they could quickly digest the large amounts of property they robbed. , deal with it cleanly.¡±
Si minus 75 zhongw en.com Si. "I have already guessed how ordinary pirates can have such strong organizational and military power, and dare to attack strong colonial strongholds, and not many clues can be found afterwards."
When Dongfang Yue heard this, she was not surprised at all, as if she already knew about it.
"Your Japanese colonial strongholds here in West Africa have been looted one after another. Are you just going to give up?"
Kolster was slightly surprised. Spain also used a lot of power to find out the details of these pirates. Unexpectedly, these Japanese people, who did not have much power in Europe, could actually do it. Know.
But it doesn¡¯t matter. This time the other party came to look for him, there must be something going on, and it¡¯s probably related to pirates.
The three Japanese colonies of Sunset City, Fuyun City (Luanda, taken from Portugal), and Fushui City (Lagos, taken from Portugal) all seemed to be on the minds of the pirates, and they visited them every now and then.
Although the Japanese side also carried out strict defense, it would cause a lot of losses every time.
In addition, these pirates sometimes focused on looting Japanese ships. One treasure ship after another was completely robbed, and even all the Japanese people on board were killed, and a ship was specially sent to the Japanese stronghold.
It can be said that the Japanese people hate these pirates now and wish they could kill them all.
牺如 baolaixsw.com 牺如。It has been several months, Japan Originally, they planned to continuously expand the colonies in West Africa, but they were tightly restrained by these elusive pirates, and there was never any breakthrough, so that the immigrants in the colonies lived in fear.
"Of course it's impossible~"
"We must kill all these pirates!"
Dongfang Yue said through gritted teeth.
"Okay~"
"What I want is your words."
¡°We in Spain are also incompatible with these pirates, and we must wipe them out completely.¡±
When Duke Colster heard this, he immediately followed suit.
The Japanese suffered miserably by these pirates, and the Spaniards suffered even more.
Spain has many colonial strongholds and colonies in West Africa. The Japanese are better off. They only have a few colonial strongholds and can focus on defense.
However, Spain has limited military strength and too many colonies and colonial strongholds. When facing these pirates, it is always stretched, so much so that the Duke of Colste has already written a letter back to the country, hoping to reduce some colonial strongholds, so that it can Focus on defense.
However, Spain?Looks too small.
This is also the reason why Spain is extremely dependent on the colonies, because the income from the colonies can allow Spain to quickly recover. 牺如 9bzw.com 牺如
¡°If we go to war with several countries again now, Spain will appear very powerless, and I am afraid that it will be a situation where victory is worse than defeat.
The result Spain wants is to be able to crush these countries one-sidedly, force these countries to sign an agreement at the minimum cost, and obtain the maximum benefits.
This is also a conclusion reached by Spain after studying the previous foreign wars of the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can it become stronger and stronger as it fights.
There is also the fact that in Spain¡¯s two foreign wars, it was often alone and very powerless. It understands the importance of allies. If it starts a war without finding allies, it will be very detrimental to Spain. Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi
If it goes wrong, Spain may lose the benefits gained from the previous two wars if the war is defeated, so it seems very cautious. Even if it knows that England, France, Portugal and other countries are using such methods, it still seems helpless and cannot take advantage of it. How are they.
But if you can find allies, it will be different
