Jiang Liang looked at Colster who looked very angry, smiled and said: "England's Henry VII does not have much credibility. I wonder what Spain is going to do?"
"My friend, it is not what Spain is prepared to do, but what we are prepared to do."
When Kolster heard this, he immediately emphasized.
"The Treaty of London was signed by Spain and the Ming Empire together with England. Henry VII wants to tear up the agreement. This is not only a matter for us in Spain, but also a matter for your Ming Empire."
"But until now, Henry VII has not told us that he does not want to fulfill the contract."
Jiang Liang thought for a while and said.
"That would be even scarier~"
"You must be very close to England and the Holy See. The Holy See not only gave Henry VII financial support, but also sent people to help Henry VII train his army."
"Everyone is aware of the conflict between the Holy See and your country. Obviously, they will not leave Hong Kong alone."
"Once they have strong troops and horses, they will definitely take back Hong Kong by force. Once that happens, Hong Kong will be far away from the Ming Dynasty. Even though the Ming Dynasty has an army of millions and a powerful fleet, it will still take a long time to send it to Europe.
"
When Kolster heard this, he quickly said.
In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh that my great Spain was not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty.
Even on the European side, the English were more afraid of the Ming people than they were of Spain. They dared to ask Spain to break the contract, but they did not dare to ask the Ming side to break the contract.
There is no way, Ming's power has spread throughout Europe.
The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, a huge population of 150 million, an army of one million capable of sweeping the world, and an extremely powerful fleet.
With just one fleet, it defeated Portugal, England, and France, reversing Spain's defeat in one fell swoop. An army of 200,000 men swept across the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Ottoman Empire to sign an alliance under the city walls.
All this spread throughout Europe, letting every European country know how powerful and terrifying the Ming Dynasty was. Even if the Holy See was slapped hard by the Ming people, the Holy See did not dare to directly go to war with the Ming Dynasty.
You can use some means to disgust Ming Dynasty.
This is the Ming Dynasty, which is so powerful that European countries will never dare to provoke it easily. Even as powerful as the Ottoman Empire, it has been repaired and submissive.
Compared with the Ming Empire, Spain is still far behind, too far away.
"My friend, what you say makes sense."
"Then do you have any good suggestions?"
Jiang Liang thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement. This place is indeed far away from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty here has no power except a fleet of more than a dozen warships and an army of 5,000.
The closest military force is still on the Mediterranean side, and it will take at least half a month to get there.
"We in Spain hope to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty again. As long as we form an alliance, England will not dare to tear up the treaty easily. If they dare to tear up the treaty, we can jointly send troops again to attack London again and let the English pirates know how powerful we are.
"
Kolster suggested without thinking.
Spain really needs to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Since its alliance with the Ming Dynasty expired, Spain has felt that its majesty is being constantly challenged.
First, the French wanted to compete with the Spanish for territory in Italy and the Mediterranean, then the Italians wanted to take back Sicily, and then the Portuguese seemed to be no longer honest, and began to become active in West Africa and North Africa.
Now England actually wants to tear up the signed agreement. Not only does it want to return to Hampshire, but it doesn't even want to pay war reparations.
This made Spain feel extremely angry, like a lion that has been repeatedly provoked.
You must know that Spain won the war with the Three Kingdoms and followed the Ming Dynasty to attack the Ottoman Empire, which is enough to demonstrate Spain's strong strength.
But he was still being constantly provoked, which made the ambitious Spaniard very angry. He really wanted to find an opportunity to give a lesson to the most jumping rooster, and then kill the rooster to show it to the monkey.
Of course, the Spanish also clearly understood the importance of forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, because even though the Ming Dynasty was far in the east, the power of the Ming Dynasty could already affect all aspects of Europe.
"My friend, although I also think that an alliance between our Ming Dynasty and your country will be beneficial to both of us, this is not something I can decide. I will give your suggestions back to our Ming Dynasty. As for whether it can be done,
You still have to look at the meaning above.”
Jiang Liang thought for a while and replied.
Of course, it is impossible to form an alliance. Ming's policy in Europe is a policy of glorious isolation. What I hope most is that you Europeans fight back and forth on your own, while Ming makes a fortune from war on the sidelines.
"That's such a shame~"
Kolster sighed helplessly.
Spain has made such requests to Ming Dynasty more than once, but they have been rejected by Ming Dynasty.
"My friends, if Henry VII really breaks the treaty, I wonder what you are going to do?"
Then, he thought about it and asked again.
"Of course we will use cannons to keep them fulfilling the treaty."
Jiang Liang replied without thinking.
"That's good, we in Spain mean the same thing."
"If the English pirates are not going to fulfill their contract, can we send troops together then?"
"Even though we are not allies, I think our interests on this point should be consistent."
Karst nodded with satisfaction.
"There is no doubt that our Ming Dynasty will send troops. Please rest assured that the London Treaty is not only related to Spain, but also to our Ming Dynasty."
"We in the Ming Dynasty will not sit back and watch them break the contract."
Jiang Liang gave a clear reply this time.
"Then will Ming Dynasty continue to increase its troops in Hong Kong?"
Karster immediately laughed, these words were enough.
If Henry VII really broke the treaty, Spain wouldn't be able to deal with it alone. At least it would have the Ming Dynasty. With the Ming Dynasty's strong strength, it would be enough to send a fleet over casually.
"This is not something I can decide, but I think the current military strength is enough to protect our Ming Dynasty's interests here."
"If Henry VII breaks the treaty, I think the great Spain should have enough power to deal with them."
Jiang Liang smiled and replied.
"Although we in Spain are not as powerful as your Ming Dynasty, we are still the strongest in Europe."
"However, England and France seem to have concluded an alliance again, the Portuguese are not honest, and the Republic of Venice seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits in the Mediterranean."
"We in Spain are defeated by two fists and four hands. We still need the support of Ming Dynasty. As long as Ming Dynasty is willing to support us in Spain, everything will not be a problem."
Kolster thought for a while and said.
"The French and England have formed an alliance?"
When Jiang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but opened his eyes slightly and asked.
"Yes, they have formed an alliance, and they are vigorously developing their maritime power. This year they sent two fleets to West Africa and North Africa respectively, with the intention of encroaching on African colonies."
Karst nodded solemnly.
The places in the world that have not yet been occupied by the Ming Dynasty are West Africa and North Africa. As for other places, almost all of them have been occupied by the Ming people.
Therefore, all ambitious countries in Europe are expanding to West Africa and North Africa, intending to seize colonies in these places.
Among them, Spain is the most active. They are now at the peak of their power and powerful. They have won successive wars with the Ming Dynasty and have established many colonial strongholds in West and North Africa.
Then came the Portuguese. They originally expanded eastward, and now they are vigorously establishing colonial strongholds in West Africa. At the same time, they are also starting to get involved in North Africa.
Then there are the rising stars of France, England and the Vikings of Northern Europe. Italy and Venice in the Mediterranean are also not to be outdone, trying to expand their influence in the Mediterranean and want to go to the ocean.
Even the Holy Roman Empire began to attach importance to the power and influence of the sea and developed maritime power in the Baltic Sea and the Netherlands.
The current situation is that Spain and Portugal were the first to go to the ocean, so they gained good benefits. Spain has several islands on the Golden Continent, which is very conducive to trade with the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, Spain owned Sicily in the Mediterranean, seized several islands from the Ottoman Empire in the Aegean Sea, and expanded its colonies in North Africa.
These have allowed Spain to occupy a favorable position. Relying on these, Spain's business has developed extremely rapidly and earned a large amount of wealth and interests.
Portugal is much worse off. According to the original Papal Meridian, Spain goes to the west and Portugal goes to the east. Portugal has already developed vigorously in the Indian Ocean.
But who would have known that when they met the powerful Ming Dynasty, they were not only driven out of the Indian Ocean, but were also severely damaged and their strength was greatly reduced. However, Portugal still occupied islands on important Atlantic routes and had a large number of colonial strongholds in West Africa.
Relying on these, the Portuguese can still compete with the Spanish.
But for England, France, Italy, Venice, and the Holy Roman Empire, they are rising stars. They have no colonies or islands overseas. If they want to expand, they naturally have to compete with the countries in front of them for colonies and interests.
Naturally, these later countries would ally with each other to fight against Spain, and England and France would come together again.
