The Spaniards were alarmed by the news of the outbreak of syphilis in the "Wild Continent", and many ministers even suggested that the colonists on Hispaniola be withdrawn. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info because Spain's income on the island of Hispaniola is too far from expectations.

Moreover, since the establishment of the Indian route, the Spanish court could have obtained much more benefits through the Indian spice trade than on the island of Hispaniola, and there was no need to care about the American colonies.

Some radical ministers even suggested that the new pope should be used to revise the Treaty of Todesillas, exchanging the syphilis-ridden wilderness with the Portuguese for the benefits of trade in the East. In this way, the Spaniards could also monopolize the benefits of Indian trade.

This idea made the Spanish government and the opposition very excited. However, the Spanish kings also understood that the Portuguese were not fools, so how could they agree to this? If this is forced, then a major war will inevitably break out between the two countries. Therefore, it is most likely to share India's trade benefits with Portugal. It's just that India's trade interests are so big, and it's really reluctant to share it with the Portuguese......

But in any case, at this time, the Spanish court formed a unified opinion - the place full of syphilis in the wild continent is really not a good place......

And coincidentally, Columbus also returned at this time......

After several months of exploration, Columbus traveled south from the western tip of the island of Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula before heading south to Panama.

Holding the map given by Marin, Columbus compared it repeatedly, and was shocked to find that there was no mistake......

In other words, Marin's teacher, Albert Einstein, was a real seafaring great. And himself, in front of others, is incomparably small......

Following Marin's map, Columbus discovered a place called Cologne on the Isthmus of Panama. Of course, there is no city here. However, Marin was stunned to mark, this is Cologne......

On the edge of this "Cologne City" is a harbor called the Bay of Limon. After identifying this place, Columbus recorded the latitude and longitude of the port of Cologne, so that later captains could find the place. Because, Marin told him that he would definitely develop this place in the future. After all, beyond the Isthmus of Panama, there is the legendary Pacific Ocean. And once you cross the Pacific Ocean, you can reach the China of Columbus's dreams.

Columbus, under Marin's guidance, had snatched the honor of "discovering" the Indian route from Vasco da Gama. This time, he plans to snatch the honor of "discovering" Huaxia again. As for Einstein, Marin's teacher, who had long been able to draw maps, Columbus selectively forgot about it.

Columbus believed that although the big man named "Albert Einstein" was the first to discover those places. However, since he did not announce the news, then, he did not receive the honor of "first discovered". Although, it is a bit unkind to use the map drawn by "Einstein" to "discover". However, Mr. Einstein is said to be an ascetic, an ascetic who did not care much about fame and fortune. Since ascetics are indifferent to fame and fortune, it is better to give themselves the honor of "discovering" those places......

Moreover, his employer, Marin, seems to be very supportive of his actions......

Marin was a disciple of the great ascetic sage named "Einstein" and the inheritor of Einstein's knowledge. The heirs of each family agree on the honors they receive. In contrast, Einstein himself would not trouble himself......

Of course, Einstein won't bother Columbus, because he hasn't been born yet......

Columbus originally wanted to land and investigate, but before leaving, Marin repeatedly warned Columbus that he was forbidden to land in Panama. Because, Marin remembers that Panama is a very poisonous insect mosquito, and if it is bitten, it can easily be replaced with deadly yellow fever.

Columbus was a seafaring general, and Marin was certainly reluctant to die. Therefore, Marin strictly forbade Columbus to land in the Panama area to investigate, so as to prevent him from accidentally being bitten by poisonous mosquitoes.

As for Columbus himself, he didn't want to die in vain, and finally gave up his plan to go ashore for an expedition. After soaking the hull of the ship in the Tamsui River and letting the maggots go, Columbus led the fleet all the way east, towards the island of Grenada.

Thanks to the sextant, Columbus could easily find the direction of Grenada, where latitude and longitude had been recorded. As long as the fleet is at the same latitude as the island of Grenada and sail all the way east, you will definitely reach the island of Grenada.

Between Panama and Grenada, though, it's not all ocean. The Guajira Peninsula in northeastern Colombia, for example, is blocking the way. Of course, this is not a problem, as long as you can easily get around.

Of course, when circumnavigating the Guajira Peninsula, Columbus also recorded the latitude and longitude of the local area. In fact, on a map to Columbus, Marin specifically marked the Guajira Peninsula, including Lake Maracaibo beneath the Guajira Peninsula.

For these two places, Marin actually attaches great importance to them. Because the Guajira Peninsula has coal resources, and in the future, the development of steam engines can make it an important coal supply point.

As for Lake Maracaibo, not to mention, it will be a famous oil producing area in later generations. Why is Venezuela so stubborn? Isn't it because of oil?

Of course, Marin didn't want to use the oil of Lake Maracaibo in his life, and the internal combustion engine was not so easy to do. Drilling oil wells is a major technical problem. Therefore, the coal of the Guajira Peninsula is much more realistic than the oil of Lake Maracaibo.

When Columbus arrived on the island of Grenada, Ben's fleet had not long left. After a few days of repairing on the island of Grenada, Columbus followed Ben's route to Spain. Because, he was going to ask the Spanish king for the title of "Baron of Cuba", and planned to make the island of Cuba his own territory. Then, he applied to take out the island of Cuba and the title of "Baron of Cuba", all of them exchanged a baronial title with Marin, and then gave it to his youngest son Fernando. In this way, his two sons will become hereditary barons in the future, and both have fertile arable land, and their annual income is tens of thousands of gold coins......

Columbus's fleet arrived in the port of Cádiz behind a funeral ship on the island of Hispaniola, and by the time Columbus arrived in Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile (the Spanish capital was not Madrid at this time), the panic caused by syphilis had already permeated the entire Spanish government.

Therefore, no one in the Spanish government and opposition objected to Columbus's request to become a Cuban baron.

The Spanish courtiers looked at Columbus with contempt, because it was Columbus who brought syphilis, a terrible disease, back to Europe from the wild continent. If Columbus hadn't had the brains to explore the Savage Continent and lie to everyone that it was India, the Europeans would not have crossed paths with the natives of the Savage Continent. At the same time, syphilis, a terrible disease, will not spread back to Europe and cause such a panic.

Therefore, no one present objected to Columbus's desire to use the island of Cuba as a territory. They wished that Columbus had gone to the island of Cuba to become a lord, and then contracted syphilis, ulcerated and died......

When Columbus went to go through the formalities of making the island of Cuba his barony, it went very well. Those officials, like sending the plague god, hurried Columbus to fight. It's as if if you would get syphilis if you talk to Columbus more.

In this way, in the atmosphere of panic in the Spanish government and opposition because of syphilis, Columbus easily obtained the authorization of the two kings of Spain, became a baron of Cuba, and obtained the ownership of the island of Cuba without any twists and turns.

Next, what Columbus had to do was to return to East Friesland, take the appointing papers, and exchange Marin for a native baronial title and corresponding fief for his second son......
