Unlike Shen Youlong's concerns, the Portuguese showed a very welcoming and positive attitude towards the Australian fleet's visit, saying that if the Australian military wanted to, they could directly dock their warships at the docks in Macao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, they also know that Hong Kong's wharf has more than enough to dock 10 warships, after all, after several expansions, it has been scaled, and at least 30 merchant ships can be docked at the same time.

There is no question of not being able to stop at all, the Portuguese are nothing more than trying to curry favor with the Australians, and the Australian side has not given a specific answer to the alliance they have applied for, which makes them very worried, after all, not joining the Far East military alliance means that they are likely to be attacked together.

Portugal's sense of crisis is still quite large, but they don't know that they are welcome to join the Australian side, after all, it is a very good way to expand their power, ensure the military balance in Southeast Asia, and concentrate the main forces in this region.

In fact, if you want to control the whole of Southeast Asia by a single family, with the current Dutch do not have this strength, Australia is even more impossible, after all, Australia's military base is there, and the larger the territory, the greater the cost of investment.

Australia's route is steady development, one step at a time, in fact, there really isn't much thought, if there is a vain idea, expansion like the Dutch will eventually come to naught, after all, the population base is too small, lack of actual control, and the impact in the future will not be too great.

Therefore, thinking about so much is equivalent to nothing, it is better to take one step at a time, get a foothold in those places first, and provide a foundation for future expansion.

Judging from the expansion of Tsarist Russia and the expansion of the United States, neither can be completed in one generation, but through several generations, and finally formed the land area of the later period.

At this time, Australia's idea is to help the Ming Dynasty ensure Jiangnan, only with the Jiangnan market, then Australian goods can be sold here in a steady stream, of course, the most important thing is that the barbarian civilization will destroy modern civilization.

For the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is civilization and which is barbarism can be said at a glance, I have to say that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it did make the society with the germ of capitalism regress, and the direct consequence was that it eventually became the target of bullying by the great powers in the future.

Since the traversal came to this world, this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen, if this kind of thing happens this time, it means that the traversal has not fulfilled its due responsibility.

It is Australia's responsibility to let the germ of capitalism continue to take root and protect it, and of course, the most important thing is that the Ming government is willing to cooperate with Australia.

If they themselves are not willing to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, then there is nothing to say but to speed up the pace of immigration and send the seeds of revolution like the Ming Dynasty in the future.

However, this method may not be used until the last step, after all, affairs are two-sided, like the Ming Dynasty sending seeds to Australia itself may also be attacked in the future.

Considering many reasons, the current policy of the Australian government is not to dominate or dominate Southeast Asia, and the best way to cooperate is to share the benefits and share the big guys equally.

But in order to ensure the stability of the alliance of this interest, it is necessary to absorb all the forces in the region, so that other forces that want to enter do not have the ability to enter, which is the key, so the Portuguese must join.

It's just that there is not enough exchange of interests, and it is impossible to enter so easily, it is too easy to get, after all, it will not be cherished, so it is still necessary to set up a certain degree of difficulty and let them know that it is not so easy to join the alliance.

The Portuguese, who knew that Manila had always opposed their accession, had heard that the Australians had caught a lot of spies and had taken the opportunity to extort a Dutchman, so they thought it was a good opportunity.

If you choose to join at this time, there will be the least number of objections, no one will object, and no one will dare to oppose at this time, the Netherlands will definitely not object, and the Spaniards will not either, and the Australian warships will go around their territory.

Australia, which has gained control of the entire Malay Peninsula from Manila and Batavia, can be said to be the biggest winners, for them they have nothing to give, but they have gained a lot.

Of course, Van Dimen, who noticed this, wanted to change the environment, but the situation did not allow him to change, the Australians had already established themselves, and it was basically impossible to kick them out.

For this reason, there was basically no suspense that Australia would agree to the accession of the Portuguese in Macau, and it would be a victory for the Portuguese, at least in the Far East they were on an equal footing with Spain.

As for their thoughts on the Australians, they actually don't have too much thought, and the Australians will inevitably not have much interest in Macao if they are so vigorous in building Hong Kong, otherwise how could they invest so much money in construction.

Therefore, they will not be as worried as Shen Youlong, nor will they be as worried as the Zheng family, and it is impossible to be driven out of the hegemony by the Australians one day as the Dutch are worried, and their attitude towards Australia can be said to be absolutely welcome.

As long as the Australians are more and more powerful here, as allies, Australia's hardcore followers will get more and more benefits, and their ideas are simple.

It is not going to use Australia against the Dutch, as the Spaniards thought, to regain some of the land they had previously lost.

Of course, the most important thing is that as long as the existing state of peace is maintained, Australia will be able to send troops to the Ming Dynasty in the future, otherwise they still have no confidence in sending troops to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, they have to go through the territory of the Spaniards and the Dutch, if they have a moth, not to mention it, it will put Australia in a dilemma, so the best way at this time is to maintain a good relationship with them, of course, to show a certain strength, otherwise they will not buy it at all, so this is Australia's real idea.

It can be said that several members of the Far Eastern Alliance actually have their own ideas, but their purposes are different. (To be continued.) )
