Chapter 948: Second Combined European Fleet (2)
In June of the 25th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Spanish Empire was the first to invite European countries, including Britain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, to join the alliance. net
After the unanimous approval of all countries, the meeting place was in Paris, France!
All countries know that the main reason for the alliance is that because the influence is too great and may be related to the fate of Europe as a whole, not only the five major sea powers of Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal that have colonies overseas, but also the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, Austria, the Vatican Pope of Rome, and nearly a hundred other small city-states, and even Norway and Sweden in Northern Europe.
The League was mainly presided over by the kings of the five great sea powers and the Holy Roman Emperor, as well as the Pope Vatican of Rome.
"The huge ambitions of the Eastern Ming Empire have been revealed, they have captured the entire Americas with a terrifying degree, and they will definitely capture other places in the future, and even attack our Obaro proper, bringing the nightmare to Obaro, so we must not let the Ming Empire go on like this again, we must defeat them at all costs and defeat their ambitions!" The Emperor of the Spanish Empire was the first to grit his teeth.
Almost all of Spain's colonies were concentrated in the Americas 6, and the loss of the Americas 6 also meant that Spain lost almost all of its colonies, which was undoubtedly an absolutely unacceptable thing.
Since the fall of the Spanish Empire from the throne of Europe's first sea power empire a few decades ago, coupled with the secession of Portugal, the national power has become weaker and weaker under the oppression of Britain, France and the Netherlands in recent decades.
The Emperor of the Spanish Empire dreamed of restoring the glory of the Spanish Empire as the first sea power empire, and this was only possible if it was built on the backing of a large colony.
But now, the loss of ninety percent of the colonies has almost knocked Spain's ambitions to the bottom, which is the last thing the Spanish emperor can bear, and he wants to defeat the Ming at all costs and regain from the Ming the American colonies that the Spanish Empire has operated for more than a hundred years.
"Yes, our Obaro has appeared in the world, this world should have been our Obarro's, in the past twenty years, the Ming Empire has been hateful and constantly encroaching on the colonies that originally belonged to our Obarro, from Indonesia, to Australia, the Philippines, and then to the entire Americas!" When he spoke of the whole of America, the King of France's eyes widened with horror and anger in his expression!
After all, they lost a colony in rich North America, Canada, and South America.
The king of France wisely did not say that they were France, but involved the whole of Europe, the American Great 6, and the colonies of the five major sea powers, including France.
"This mysterious Eastern Empire, they are too powerful, it is a nightmare for our entire Obarro!" The King of the Netherlands also gritted his teeth.
In other words, the Netherlands was the first European country to be attacked by the Ming Dynasty and seized as a colony. The most naval battles with the Ming Dynasty were also the Netherlands, and the eight-nation combined fleet and the Ming Dynasty fought a decisive battle in the Strait of Malacca, and the nominal supreme commander of the eight-nation combined fleet was still the Duke of Havelan in the Netherlands.
"From the Battle of Malacca, the 641 warships of our eight-nation combined fleet were almost completely wiped out, and then to the current American Big 6, the huge American Big 6 was completely captured by the Ming Empire in just one year, these all prove the Ming Empire, they are our O'Barro's nightmare, and our O'Barro's stumbling block to open the world, if you don't defeat them, all of our O'Barro's colonies in the world may be robbed by them, at that time, our O'Baro will not be able to continue to develop, You can't get all kinds of resources from the colony all the time! The Queen of England also said with trepidation, and her tone was full of fear of the power of Da Ming.
The British have ambitions, great ambitions, when they ventured a decisive battle with the Spanish Armada, is it not just to one day let Britain ascend to the position of the world's first power, but it is a pity that the Dutch took the lead, but the British have not given up their ambitions, these years, they continue to show their sea power, in order to defeat the Dutch again, successfully achieve the status of the first power.
If there was no Ming intervention, the British had continued to defeat the French and Spaniards over the years, not only greatly expanding their thirteen states in North America, but also nearing the Dutch in terms of sea power.
Historically, didn't the British really rise to full strength after defeating the Dutch, and it is conceivable that without the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, the British would eventually succeed in realizing their ambitions.
It's just that the Ming still appeared, and they intervened strongly, not only blocking their British from ascending to the throne of the world's number one power, but also blocking the path of the entire O'Barro to continue to move forward.
You must know that the territory of Europe is not very large, except for the European part controlled by the Ottoman Empire and the Tsarist Russian Empire, the places really controlled by Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal and other European countries are less than 4 million square kilometers, only one-twentieth of the size of the area controlled by the current Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for the support of overseas colonies, the European countries alone, unless they could unify into one country, would not be able to become strong no matter how much they showed.
Therefore, colonizing the world is the only way out for Europe, and colonization is the lifeblood of Europe.
Therefore, not only the five major sea powers of Britain, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Portugal were unacceptable, but also the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Austria, Norway, Sweden, and many small European countries could not accept it.
Although the Holy Roman Empire and other countries are not sea powers, they also know how many materials are transported back to Europe by the five major sea powers such as Britain, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Portugal every year, and they actually get a lot of benefits indirectly.
"We can't allow the evil Eastern Empire to continue to encroach on the colonies that belong to our O'Barro, we must represent God, defeat them, and take back all the colonies!" The Vatican Pope also stepped forward at this time.
The Vatican Pope is a typical Europeanist, in his eyes, Europe is the place favored by God, Europe is the center of the world, all pagans should be destroyed, the strength and ambition of the Ming Dynasty also made the Vatican Pope very angry, so he is willing to stand up and become an intermediary who unites European countries, defeats the evil Eastern Ming Empire, and declares God's will to the world!
