Australia's foreign policy has always been based on neutrality, not to offend any country, especially in Southeast Asia, will never be the first to fight with the Dutch, followed by the Spaniards, although when the perfect can succeed, they don't mind fighting each other, but in fact, this is really not necessary. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

All wars are fought in the name of; As far as Li Zicheng is concerned, the reason why his peasant rebel army wants to fight is nothing more than to live, to have enough to eat, to have land to plant, these are the reasons why they want to fight, and at the same time, in the final analysis, it is a matter of interests, if interests can be solved, they will not risk their lives for these things.

Of course, there are pure war maniacs, who fight for the sake of fighting, but most wars are fought for profit.

Australia's initial choice was neutrality, but now the national policy is different, if you choose neutrality, it is not suitable for Australia's development, of course, the best way now is to form an alliance with the Spaniards and the Netherlands, only after becoming allies, the two sides can better cooperate.

The joint joint fleet plan proposed by Australia has been sent to Manila and Batavia, and according to Australia's proposal, the three countries will jointly form a fleet to patrol the area, and at the same time, for the first time, the two sides have proposed to divide their spheres of influence to resolve the conflict.

It's not that Australia has to unite the two Western countries, but only they have the strength to unite with Australia, whether at sea or in technology, they can provide some help, as for the Ming Dynasty, it is now in the midst of civil strife and can't extricate itself, whether it can survive still depends on Australia.

Once Australia and these two regions have been united, it can at least ensure that there is a chance for safe and stable development within a certain time frame, of course, this alliance is also extremely unstable, if you are going downhill, the original allies will not mind giving you a stab in the back, this kind of thing has not happened, of course, in the end, it depends on how Australia develops in the future.

Whether Manila and Batavia can come together makes the Executive Committee a little worried, after all, the two sides are a feud, and it is not so easy to resolve the fight from Europe to the Far East.

But to put it bluntly, the main contradiction between the Dutch and the Spaniards is that Spain has never recognized their independence, and the Dutch have seized Spain's right to transport at sea, so the contradiction between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

In fact, in the Far East, the contradictions between Manila and Batavia were mainly provoked by Van Dimen, the expansionist maniac continued to expand, and finally carved out a large area of territory from Spain little by little, which also caused the contradiction between the two sides to become bigger and bigger, and finally the problem of fighting each other.

If there is to be a problem, these problems need to be resolved first, and the two sides cannot go to war and at the same time need to make some concessions on their own.

However, it is uncertain whether they will give the Australians this face, but one thing can be known that Manila is actually very willing to resolve the contradiction with Batavia, after all, Southeast Asia is so big, the two sides can work hard to other places, and there is no need to spend it on a piece of land.

For Manila, the war with the Dutch had somewhat limited their power to a few locations, and there was no time to open up new territories.

Manila is in dire need of expanding its sphere of influence as Batavia, and while it appears that they control a large area, they do control a small area, and the local indigenous forces and small states remain a threat to them.

If they could form an alliance, then at least they would not have to fear being attacked by the other side when dealing with the natives.

Van Dimen's original idea was to defeat the Spanish monopoly on the region, and as long as the Spaniards were gone, there would be no rivals in the area, but the Australians reminded them that the English were also very interested in the Far East, including the French.

These potential threats have to be guarded against by the Netherlands, not to mention that the English are indeed eyeing this area, and they also want to enter this area.

At this time, both sides were thinking about the advice given by the Australians, and the three sides formed an alliance to jointly undertake the security of the region, and block other forces that tried to enter the area.

This may seem like a good idea, but it also means that the Australians are officially in this sphere of influence, and their warships will be cruising in this area for a long time.

Originally, the Dutch just wanted to win over the Australians to fight against Spain, but now that it is good, it feels a bit like a wolf in the room, and the Australians are no longer going to leave, officially showing their presence in this area.

If this is the case, then the Australians also seem a little scary, after all, in the eyes of the Dutch, they have no offensive power, but now they suddenly find that it is different from what they imagined, does that mean that there is a possibility of war between the two sides?

The agreement is of no use to the Dutch at all, and the strong will never abide by it, as they themselves have done.

But if this alliance is not agreed, the Australians and Spaniards will enter the alliance state, then the Netherlands will appear a little passive, and then it will not be as easy as it is now.

In addition to facing the enemy in Manila, they also have to face the Australian Lao, and the Australian Lao is more difficult to deal with than the Spaniards, and their battle seems to be much stronger than the Spanish, of course, I don't know what the specific situation is without going through the confrontation.

But one thing is certain, however, that the Spaniards have largely agreed to the agreement of the Australians, that their representatives have already travelled to Australia, and that if the Netherlands have not replied within the specified deadline, then it is possible that both the Spaniards and the Australians will be counted at the same time.

In addition, an old Australian formation has already set off, and although the destination is Hong Kong, they will pass through Batavia and Manila, and it is uncertain what changes and changes will occur along the way.

Now he is afraid that the Australian veteran will suddenly turn his gun and attack Batavia directly, in that case, it is really possible to fall into a crisis, and it is completely up to his decision to be able to successfully get out.

After thinking about it, in the end, the old fox of Van Dimen still agreed to the plan of the joint fleet to jointly manage the entire Southeast Asia, the existing sphere of influence remains unchanged, and the two sides cannot easily fight, otherwise the side that easily starts the war will be severely sanctioned by the other side, as for what this sanction is, in fact, no one knows.
