"Long-term cooperation?" De Janeiro was stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.
Since being defeated by France and Britain, Portugal's strength has been declining day by day.
In the colonial areas of America, although copper, iron and other metals were produced, factories and other facilities were controlled by various industrial powers, and they could only be reduced to exporters of raw materials.
This caused them to lose huge profits and seriously hindered their economic development.
This is not a good thing for them.
As Long Yan is the country with the most developed industrial system in the world, if it is willing to cooperate with them, Portugal's national strength will develop rapidly.
Of course, Janeiro is very happy. This is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.
Qin Changfeng added: "We are ready to form an alliance with you. We can provide necessary industrial assistance to Portugal, but obtaining anything requires chips."
"Your Excellency, you know what I mean."
Janeiro nodded and said directly without any thought: "Our Portuguese colony can provide Long Yan with all the raw material support it needs."
"In exchange for Long Yan's technical support."
Qin Changfeng laughed, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
For the Portuguese colonial area, such a price was a sure-fire deal.
However, for Long Yan, it is not the case.
Seeing Qin Changfeng walking in front, Janeiro felt a sudden thought in his heart. He knew that the chips he had just paid were not huge.
If we can reach an agreement with Long Yan relying on resources.
Then those small African countries have more advantages.
Janeiro hurriedly caught up and didn't rush to speak. Instead, he strolled with Qin Changfeng.
Looking at the facilities built by Portugal here, Janeiro introduced them one by one, but Qin Changfeng was not interested in these things.
It's just a quick look around, that's all.
Janeiro never understood what Qin Changfeng wanted before he could cooperate with them.
Qin Changfeng paused slightly and walked to the Portuguese military camp. He asked: "Your Excellency, de Janeiro, how is the combat effectiveness of your Portuguese troops?"
"Can it compete with the British and French troops?"
Janeiro laughed dryly and shook his head.
"Our Portuguese maritime army can be said to be invincible..."
Qin Changfeng looked at him and said with a faint smile: "That was in the past. Let me tell you, Britain and France are now dominated by steam-powered ships. Your Portuguese navy will be eliminated sooner or later!"
"Your old rival, Spain is now actively moving closer to France, and his development may surpass yours."
"If the Spanish troops become stronger, how much of your Portuguese colonial area will be left?"
"This is a very important part of your many overseas colonial areas, but your neighbor is a Spanish colonial area. How do you think they will deal with you when they become stronger?"
"I think Your Excellency de Janeiro should know better than me the current situation in Portugal."
Janeiro looked at Qin Changfeng in astonishment. The other party explained to him clearly the pros and cons of the relationship.
That's why Portugal wants to seek cooperation from allies.
Strengthen your own strength and avoid losing all your overseas colonies in this war.
Qin Changfeng smiled: "Your Excellency de Janeiro, you should know now that you have to show corresponding sincerity."
Janeiro nodded wildly, struggled with his eyes, frowned and said, "I still need to discuss this matter with other people before I can give you an accurate answer."
"We in the Portuguese colonial area will definitely show sincerity."
Qin Changfeng nodded and said with a smile: "I will stay here for three days and disturb your Excellency in Janeiro."
