On a sea area only more than 200 miles away from Sao Tome Island, more than 30 large ships, flying the flag of the Japanese King of Japan, were eagerly sailing to Sao Tome Island.
On the 'Izumo', Dongfang Yue looked at the sea in front of her, and she seemed to be waiting a little longer.
It’s finally time to return to Sao Tome Island again.
"Sao Tome Island is definitely the most beautiful island. There are peaks thousands of meters above sea level, dense tropical rain forests, waterfalls and springs, and mist-shrouded islands. It's really beautiful!"
Dongfang Yue describes the beauty of Sao Tome Island to the people around her.
As the first overseas colony in the hands of the Japanese king, it was of great significance to the Japanese king.
Although the colonies in the Indus River Basin of Western Tianzhu also belonged to the Japanese country in name, they were owned by the shogun, and the Japanese kings had no involvement at all.
“What’s even more rare is the location of São Tomé Island~”
"Look at the map. Sao Tome Island is located in the Gulf of Guinea, on the main route of the north-south route in West Africa."
"As long as we operate well in the future, we may not be unable to compare with Ceylon. We can also use this island as a center to colonize the vast African continent."
"In the future, our Japanese country will be able to get rid of the shackles of the island country and become a land power."
"The African continent is extremely vast, fertile land, and rich in resources. It is definitely a chosen land. It is a blessed land given to us Japanese people by God!"
Dongfang Yue was very high-spirited at this moment, wishing she could scold Fang Qiu and give him some guidance.
The Japanese people have had a mainland plot since ancient times. They want to get rid of the shackles of the island country and own a huge territory on the mainland, but they have never been able to achieve it. Now they finally have the opportunity.
“What I’m most worried about now is the Portuguese~”
"They will definitely not give up. We have robbed the Portuguese colony, and they will definitely try their best to take it back."
"This place is closer to Europe, but it is really far away from our Japanese country."
Then Dongfang Yue began to worry again and couldn't wait to reach Sao Tome Island as soon as possible.
But he didn't know that at this moment, he was on Sao Tome Island.
The Spaniards successfully blocked Portugal in the port, used fierce artillery fire to sink all Portuguese warships, and almost effortlessly destroyed the fleet that Portugal had built with all its efforts.
Then, they landed on Sao Tome Island very smoothly, and the Portuguese, led by Duke Anthony, could only declare their surrender to the Spanish.
Duke Colster came to the castle and looked at the Japanese people above the castle.
"I now officially declare that this island will belong to the great Spanish Empire and will be the territory of His Majesty the Great King of Spain. I demand that you surrender immediately and unconditionally, otherwise we will launch an attack."
The Spanish proudly announced their ultimatum to the Japanese on the castle.
"Asshole~"
"This is a colony belonging to our great Japanese country~"
"Our Japanese country is a vassal state of the great Ming Empire. If you dare to attack us, it will be equivalent to declaring war on the Ming Empire and the Japanese country, as well as the many vassal states, vassal states and colonies of the Ming Empire. You must think carefully."
Nanjiro said angrily to the Spaniards under the castle. At this moment, he could only pull the Ming Empire's tiger skin to see if he could scare the other party.
If the Spaniards attacked the city, they would definitely be defeated.
"Haha, this is not your Japanese colony~"
"Stop trying to scare us with the Ming Empire. Our great Spanish Empire and the Ming Empire are allies and best friends."
"This time we were ordered to come here to eliminate pirates. This is the home of pirates. Now I suspect that you are pirates. If you attack now, we can let you live. If you persist, don't blame us.
"
The Duke of Colster once again took out the banner of exterminating pirates and directly issued an ultimatum.
Nanjiro immediately understood what these Spaniards were planning.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind. These Spaniards are really powerful and have great plans.
Even if he surrenders, the Spaniards probably won't let him go, because they want to frame him and blame the Portuguese. What a plan.
After thinking about this clearly, Nanjiro did not choose to surrender, but continued to persevere.
"Hmph~"
Duke Colster immediately sneered and gave the order to attack.
Along with fierce artillery fire, the Spanish launched an extremely fierce attack and captured the castle in one wave. The exhausted Japanese were unable to stop the fierce Spaniards.
"Kill all the Japanese and then blame the Portuguese."
Duke Colster looked at the Japanese warriors who had surrendered, showing no mercy at all, and gave the order directly.
Then he mounted his horse and began to patrol Sao Tome Island.
“What a beautiful island!”
"From today on, this place is called 'Fernando' Island and belongs to our great Spanish Empire!"
After just casually patrolling the island, Duke Colster nodded with satisfaction.
It is indeed an island that the King of Spain will never forget. It is very beautiful. There are also a large number of plantations on the island. Seeing that the sugar cane and cocoa in the plantations are about to mature, it will be another income.
The Spanish began to erect stone monuments on the island, raise the flag of the Kingdom of Spain, and at the same time planned to attack another large island occupied by the Persian Empire to the northwest.
One day later, when Duke Colste was planning an attack on San Antonio Island in the castle built by the Japanese, the bells at the port rang loudly, and Duke Colste rushed out in a hurry.
"What happened?"
asked the Duke of Colster.
"Your Majesty, there is a boat~"
Adjutant Real hurried over to report.
Duke Kolster quickly picked up his telescope and looked overseas. On the overseas waters, he saw more than 30 large ships sailing towards Sao Tome Island, with the Japanese flag flying on the ships.
"It's a Japanese ship~"
Kolster recognized it immediately, and then quickly issued an order to prepare for battle.
Fortunately, having learned the lessons of the Portuguese, Duke Colster did not let all the ships advance into the port to rest. At this moment, more than 20 warships were still patrolling outside the port, otherwise they would have been invaded by the Japanese this time.
People were blocked in the port.
On the warship "Izumo", Dongfang Yue looked at Sao Tome Island with a telescope, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
Soon, he saw the Spanish warships on the sea outside, the warships that were quickly setting sail in the port, and the Spanish flag flying above the castle.
"what happened?"
"Spanish?"
Dongfang Yue was dumbfounded. She thought of the Portuguese but never thought of the Spaniards.
"Ask these Spaniards what's going on, why they invaded our Japanese colonies, and ask them where Nanjiro and the others went?"
Dongfang Yue's face suddenly turned pale.
The island of São Tomé, which was finally captured, now belongs to the Spanish. Look at the appearance of the port, it seems that it has just experienced the battle. Look at the castle, which has a proper oriental architectural style, but now it has
The place was full of Spaniards.
Soon, Duke Colster received questions from Dongfang Yue.
"Tell them that we don't know what happened to the Japanese on the island. We robbed this island from the Portuguese. As for the whereabouts of the Japanese on the island, we don't know either."
Duke Colster looked at the aggressive Japanese people with a smile on his face. It was so dangerous.
If it had been one more night, these Japanese people would have arrived here, and there would be no way to blame the Portuguese.
It's fine now, all responsibility has been given back to the Portuguese.
As for what will happen to the Portuguese and Japanese people in the future, that is not my concern.
"Portuguese?"
When Dongfang Yue received the reply, he immediately frowned. He looked carefully at the scene in the port. He could still see that it had experienced a brutal naval battle not long ago. There were still a large number of warship wreckage on the sea. Look again.
Many corpses can be seen here on the island. These corpses and some fallen flags can be seen to be indeed Portuguese.
"Tell them that this island is a colony of our Japanese country. Now we ask them to evacuate this island immediately or we will take all necessary measures!"
After thinking about it, Dongfang Yue did not investigate whether it was the Portuguese or the Spanish who did it. The most important thing now is to retake the island of Sao Tome.
"Japanese colony?"
"Aren't they funny~"
"And take all necessary measures?"
"You want to scare us with more than thirty warships?"
After receiving Dongfang Yue's warning, Kolster immediately sneered.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Reply to these Japanese people and tell them that we only know that this island belongs to us from Portugal, and we also robbed it from the Portuguese."
"Now they are required to leave the waters of Fernando Island immediately, otherwise we will regard it as an invasion of the great Spanish Empire, and we will give you the severest blow!"
The Duke of Colster's reply was undoubtedly very domineering and tough, and he also understood the truth, that is, this island used to belong to the Portuguese.
They only robbed the islands from the Portuguese, and did not rob their Japanese colonies.
"Damn~"
"Abominable white pigs, abominable European barbarians~"
After receiving the reply from the Spaniard, Dongfang Yue became even more angry and couldn't help but cursed loudly.
Looking at the Spanish warships rushing out of the port again, Dongfang Yue frowned again, hesitating whether to use force to take back the island.
