- The Spaniards here in Madrid, the former capital of Spain, are now dejected. They have long since lost sight of the arrogant look they had before.
Since being occupied by the French army, the Spanish momentum has disappeared without a trace.
Since the fifteenth century, the old empire, which has been traversing the sea and pioneering the age of navigation, has now lost its former glory.
The Spaniards could not figure out what they had done wrong to end up in such a situation.
However, no matter how they reflect now, there is no way to change the fact that the country is now subjugated.
France and Portugal are carving up Spain¡¯s territory. They want to cause the de facto destruction of Spain and will not give others any chance to support and help Spain.
For France and Portugal, they do not want to see Spain appear on the European map again, which is not good for both of them.
Spain has always been a potential rival of France, so the French very much want to see the Kingdom of Spain destroyed.
The Portuguese and the Spanish have a hatred for annexing the country, and they also hope to drive the Spanish into the abyss.
In addition, the two cooperated to kill Spain, thus offending the church group. Therefore, under such circumstances, Portugal and France had common enemies and interests.
Envoys from both sides met frequently in Madrid and quarreled over border issues.
First of all, Madrid was captured by France, so the French believed that the border should be drawn somewhere outside Madrid.
But the Portuguese don¡¯t think so.
The Portuguese were also fighting the Spanish on the outskirts of Madrid at that time. Only because of some military factors, the Portuguese did not capture Madrid.
Therefore, the Portuguese believe that Madrid should be divided into two parts and managed jointly by both parties.
Then use Madrid as the central axis to divide Spain into two sides.
Of course the French would not agree to the Portuguese proposal.
Because if the Portuguese proposal is agreed to, the French will hand over a large area of ??occupied Spanish territory to the Portuguese.
The French would never do such a stupid thing.
It¡¯s too fanciful that the Portuguese want to get benefits they didn¡¯t get on the battlefield from the negotiation table.
This is what the French think.
But don¡¯t tell me yet, the Portuguese really have this idea.
For them, there is nothing wrong with raising this opinion.
There is a saying that if you have dates or not, you should strike three poles first. What if the French are stupid enough to agree to this?
¡° In that case, Portugal would get a big advantage.
With this mentality, the Portuguese began to argue with the French.
However, in the face of such Portuguese people, the French also used their patience to hang out with those people every day, but they did not give up at all for their actual interests.
The American expatriate administrators in the Lisbon Concession and the Marseille Concession have been paying close attention to the current negotiations and progress between the two parties.
Therefore, they are quite aware of the tense negotiations between Portugal and France.
In order for them to reach an agreement as soon as possible and establish a stronger alliance.
The concession handed over the information it received to Portugal and France.
"The British concession intelligence officers have completely grasped the matter of the British jumping up and down through bribery and other means.
Therefore, this news is very important to Portugal and France.
It can be seen that they will have to face the joint strangulation of several countries soon.
So, they are now coming up with a plan as soon as possible to reach an agreement.
This way you can focus your energy on dealing with future troubles.
After the Portuguese got the news, they took a breath from top to bottom.
Originally, they were just a small country and their combat effectiveness was not very strong.
The success of this unlucky restoration was mainly due to the empire providing funds and weapons, and helping them train soldiers and deliver intelligence.
Otherwise, it would be simply impossible to fight against the elite Spaniards just by relying on the rebels who had transformed from farmers into soldiers.
At the same time, most of the Spanish military forces were held back or defeated by the French.
Otherwise, Portugal would beA tragic ending.
It can be said that by coincidence and with the help of France and the American Song Empire, the Portuguese are now shaking off.
¡°However, there are people at the top level in Portugal who have a clear understanding of what they are doing.
So, they are not blindly arrogant.
Now, according to the intelligence sent by the Song Empire, it will not be long before Britain will join forces with the church military legions and begin to besiege itself and France from land and sea.
Facing the military power of so many countries at once, the Portuguese are really unsure.
Fortunately, the concession represented the Song Empire and promised the Portuguese that weapons and intelligence could be provided. As long as the Portuguese and the Empire signed an arms agreement, everything would be no problem.
If you don¡¯t have money, you can sign up for a loan and pay it back slowly in the future.
In this way, wouldn¡¯t there be money to buy weapons?
Many of the Spanish shipyards were divided between the Portuguese and the French.
The Song Empire could also inject funds to revitalize these shipyards and sell a large number of warships to the two countries.
As for the money, you can also sign a loan agreement first and pay it back slowly later.
For the Song Empire, there is nothing more than money.
¡° Anyway, this thing is inedible, and it will take up space if you keep it, so it¡¯s better to spend money and go out and find some benefits.
"Gold and silver are useful only if you say they are useful. If you say they are useless, then they are completely useless."
To be honest, gold and silver are not as good as real food in troubled times.
With the guarantee from the Song Empire, the Portuguese finally settled down.
As long as you have money and weapons, there is actually nothing to fear against the coalition forces from so many countries.
As for the French, it was much simpler. The Song Empire promised to keep the American volunteers to help the French fight against the enemies on the eastern front, and at the same time provide France with war funds and food.
With funds and food, what do the French have to fear?
The French are not afraid of the church coalition at all.
??Besides, the French have long had ambitions to become a powerful country in Europe.
Now this is a good opportunity for France.
Isn¡¯t it just a multinational coalition? What¡¯s so great about it?
As long as there are money and weapons, this war can be fought.
But that¡¯s not necessarily the case with multinational coalition forces.
Intelligence sent from the Song Empire Concession shows that if the church alliance reaches an agreement, then military expenditure and material issues will be their biggest headache first.
After all, the Spanish Empire has actually been divided between Portugal and France, so the church coalition is likely to lose money fighting this war.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the other party has been in confrontation with the Protestant coalition forces for such a long time, which has already made their domestic economy not very good.
Therefore, as long as France and Portugal can withstand the early attack, it will become easier later.
How long can the church coalition hold on despite the lack of funds and supplies?
What¡¯s more, after the fall of Spain, the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea has been controlled by Portugal and France. It can be said that if the European countries on the east side want to import something, then they have to look at the faces of Portugal and France.
As long as Portugal and France block the Mediterranean Sea, these countries will become even more scarce in supplies.
Because they can no longer obtain the war supplies they need from the colonies.
Of course, after the Mediterranean Sea is blocked, the North Sea will become their supply channel.
And because of the presence of the British, it will definitely not be easy to block Beihai.
But no matter what, if Portugal and France deal with the church alliance, it will actually be easy.
As long as the Song Empire can provide enough military expenditures, as well as enough food and supplies, then everything will not be a problem.
It¡¯s simply too simple to provide money and materials.
The policy of the Song Empire was to keep Europe at war and create chaos.
The current situation is exactly what the empire wants.
The church now wants to form a truce with the Protestant coalition, but the problems between them have not yet been resolved, leaving a big hidden danger.
Therefore, the intelligence personnel of the Song Empire stationed in Europe analyzed that even if the church defeated Portugal and France, they would still have to go to war with the Protestant coalition forces later.
If the church coalition cannot defeat the Portuguese-French alliance, then they will also suffer.??The blow from the Protestant coalition forces, after all, everyone can hit a dog in the water, right?
Therefore, even if the church coalition forces attack Portugal and France, they will not be able to use all their strength.
They must leave some strength to guard against the Protestant coalition forces.
In this way, it will be much easier for Portugal and France to deal with the church coalition.
Therefore, regarding possible wars in the future, Portugal and France are not at a disadvantage, but have many advantages.
With this kind of analysis, the imperial intelligence department in Europe has communicated with Portugal and France, and let them know about it.
After reading these intelligence analyses, the high-level officials in Portugal and France suddenly became more confident.
Yes, the analysis of the Imperial Intelligence Department is correct at all. This is all true.
¡°As long as you think about it for a moment, you will know that this is definitely not fake.
Soon, Portugal and France delimited their borders, and then began to prepare for war.
French and Portuguese merchant ships began sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to Manhattan in the Americas, where they obtained a large amount of weapons and food supplies.
As the empire occupied the Dutch colonies in the Caribbean, the number of Dutch merchant ships began to decrease.
Of course, this is only on the surface. After all, the merchant ship can just change its flag.
For these maritime merchants, they cannot control or care about matters at the national level. They only want to make money.
So, for a time, there were more Dutch merchant ships flying the Portuguese and French flags (To be continued.
