Article 286 Representations
Australia wants to send troops to Luzon to clear the surrounding natives, and this matter has been negotiated through Zhou Yang and Manila, after all, it is too close to the Spanish governor's palace, and it would be bad if the two sides clashed because of this.

In fact, the Spaniards have always been much better than the Dutch, since the alliance with Australia, their espionage operations to Australia have stopped, and they have also helped the Governor's Palace of Luzon to maintain stability in the surrounding area.
After all, the Luzon overseas consul is still stationed in the Spanish army, about 200 people, this force effectively protects Australia's rights in this area, so that the surrounding indigenous tribes will not be too aggressive, this time the Australians are ready to send their own troops to clear up, no matter what, they have to negotiate with them first, after all, people stay here to let them go back always need a reason.
The main purpose of the Spaniards has not withdrawn is to prevent the Australians from expanding their influence in their own homes, and most of the original territory has been seized by the Dutch, and it is impossible not to have a little defense against Australia.
Therefore, if Australia wants to send troops, it must first negotiate with the Manila side, hoping that the other side will not misunderstand and withdraw the troops.
If the other side's troops do not withdraw, then it means that they are very strict with Australia's defenses.
Australia does have the idea of expanding its influence here, but not now, at least until the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty are resolved, there will definitely be no intention of expanding here.
As for the current troops, this is completely for the needs of the Ming Dynasty, and this is a transit point for transporting supplies from Australia, if this place is under the threat of the natives for a long time, then the materials will also be affected, and it may affect the Ming war situation, so the clean-up action against the natives must be implemented.
Batavia has received a report submitted by Zhou Yang, which explains that the reason why Australia sent troops to clear the natives this time is to maintain the safety of the people who returned to the foreign territory, and I hope they will not misunderstand.
As for the Manila side, they don't think so, in fact, for them, the more chaotic the Luzon overseas territories, the more beneficial it will be for them, so that they can continue to send troops to be stationed here, without retreating, and can tell the Australians in a justifiable way that they can maintain stability here.
Now it's different, people say that they will maintain the certainty of this place, which means that the troops here should be withdrawn, so the withdrawal also means that there is no influence on this place at all, and it is difficult to imagine that the Australians will be the same as before without troops stationed.
However, in order to take care of their emotions, the Australian side also made sacrifices, and promised to export two rifles to them, in exchange for their withdrawal this time, it can be regarded as the credit of their long-term stationing here to maintain stability, and the important thing is that these guns were all sold to them at a friendly price, which is indeed very cheap.
It is indeed difficult to refuse such a temptation, and the Australians have absolute sovereignty here, which is a written contract with the Manila side, which guarantees the existence of Australia's status here.
If you want to regret it now, it's a bit difficult, after all, it's not that easy.
Australia's fleet in Hong Kong is not vegetarian either, and they have recently assembled a small fleet, but it still has attack power, and it is said that it is equipped with a new weapon that makes a ship the size of a fishing boat no less powerful than its own warship.
It is conceivable that if they fall out with the Australian side at this time, they may start a full-scale war.
It is not impossible that this possibility is not impossible, Australia also has several hundred troops stationed in Luzon, and this time it is proposed to send a few hundred troops to fight, then at least a thousand or several thousand troops must be added, and Spain is not sure that it will be able to win.
After all, they can fight and win on Dayuan Island or rely on the training of the Australians, and now let them fight with their masters, how can they fight with the little fur they have not learned.
The Manila side does not want to go to war with Australia, but it wants these weapons, so it can only agree with the behavior of the Australians, after all, for them, there is nothing to agree to.
Can the Australian old still attack Manila, Manila's defense is even amazing to the Dutch, and they dare not act rashly, let alone Australia is old.
Their strength is definitely not as large as that of the Dutch, which is certain, after all, the Dutch expanded throughout Southeast Asia and recruited a lot of soldiers from their homeland, so many soldiers they did not dare to attack, let alone the Australians.
The Australians are not strong enough, this is Manila's judgment from several aspects, because from the beginning they asked Australia to send soldiers to come, but Australia did not, which shows that their troops are actually not much.
So does it mean that they have recently recruited a lot of new soldiers, so there are enough soldiers to send out.
There are still differences between recruits and veterans, and there are obvious differences in both combat and other aspects.
If the other side just sends new troops, it is not a big threat to Manila, if it is a veteran, they do not have enough troops to attack Manila, and compared to Batavia, they are definitely not very interested in Manila.
Judging from these points, the Spaniards judged why Australia sent troops at this time, it may be that they want to train new soldiers, and of course, there is also a possibility that it is to expand its influence in the region.
In any case, in order to maintain relations with the Australians, they agreed to the request.
Even if they don't agree, with Australia's strong means, I am afraid that they will send troops directly, after all, the Australians have always been very strong.
Once the men and horses of the two sides meet on the battlefield, then it is difficult to say what is likely to happen, and a conflict is also possible.
And this conflict may allow the Dutch to regain control of Dayuan Island.
Once the Dutch are involved, then absolutely nothing good happens.
The Dutch would have gotten up all the rest of Spain's territory in the Far East, and those insatiable creatures were more feared than the Australians, who were not as insatiable as they were, not only in the Far East but also in the Americas.
This group of Dutch hillbillies is the most feared guy, if they really had to choose, they would definitely choose the Australians, at least the Australians are not as dissatisfied as they are, and they keep expanding.
The Australians, at least so far, had not snatched a single colony from Spain, and even Luzon paid a large sum of money as compensation, which was a hundred times better than the Dutch banditry, so Manila finally decided to withdraw its troops and leave Luzon completely under Australian management.
