The Portuguese opened the door to Japan, but that didn't mean the same could be done for other countries, such as the Spaniards, who had just had a war with the Dutch, and although they had won the war, the news came back from home was very bad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Habsburg Confederate States, led by Spain, lost to the anti-Habsburg League, this ending may not be expected by anyone, but this is the truth, and it is no wonder that the Dutch will be so arrogant in the Far East, and the defeat of the war at home has indeed brought a lot of negative effects to the overseas colonies, even so, but no one dares to attack easily.

So Spain didn't think so much about it at this time, just thinking about maintaining its current territory, and preparing for another war with the Dutch, maybe these hillbillies would suddenly come over.

After all, it's not the first time that they want to drive Spain out of the Far East, as for the Portuguese, who have become Australia's little brothers, there is nothing to say about this, Australians are strong, so they will naturally follow them, and they will naturally lose these little brothers if they are weak.

If they had a choice, they would naturally strangle the Dutch in the cradle, and there would be no current strife, of course, this is just their idea, everything is not possible, and the Dutch have risen.

The defeat at home contrasted sharply with the victory in the Far East, but it also gave the Spanish rulers a glimmer of hope for the defeat of the Dutch, who could defeat all the rebels and force them to sign a treaty if they could buy more Australian weapons.

Of course, under this premise, it is still necessary to negotiate with the Australians, and whether they are willing to do so is still a question, after all, Australians' weapons are not so easy to buy.

Even in the Far East, the Governor's House in Manila was hard to come by, so they set their sights on the offices that the Australians had left in Europe, where they had their offices, and they could talk to them first to see if they could get arms from them.

Because there are rumors that the Dutch and the French are the weapons they got from them, so they should not be wrong to think here, but I don't know if they are willing to sell them to Spain, after all, there is not much communication between the two sides, naturally there is not as much communication between the Dutch and them.

As a representative, Nelson went to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, where there is the European Consulate General of Australians, and it is best to talk about it, so they decided to have a good talk with Deng Yuanjie about buying weapons.

Those who are familiar with the history of the Thirty Years' War in Europe know that in fact, after so many years of fighting, there is nothing left to fight and it is almost over, but since the Executive Committee put forward a European plan, they have decided to extend the Thirty Years' War for a period of time, so as to win more space for Australia's development.

In one case, once the war lasts longer, they can also take the opportunity to sell weapons to make war money, as well as materials, after all, the devastation brought by the war is very great, in addition to affecting production, it will also have a very huge impact on the development of science and society.

Therefore, Deng Yuanjie's task is very clear, that is, to make both sides involved in the war realize the power of Australian weapons, and let them take the initiative to buy them, to say that this is nothing.

After all, for Deng Yuanjie, this task is not heavy, it is easy to complete, as long as a batch of weapons is sold to either side of the two sides at a low price in the early stage, they will be eager to buy it after they see the benefits of the weapons.

It is precisely because of this that the Dutch and French weapons were the first to get from him, and in fact, there are not many, but the great power exerted on the battlefield made them realize the importance of weapons, and they secretly imported a weapon from Australia at a high price to reequip the army.

These weapons made them know the importance of equipment, so they used the weapons in their hands to secretly reequip the army, and then the effect on the battlefield was really different from what they thought, so the natural difference made them immediately realize that they needed to rely on weapons to defeat Spain.

At this time, the Spaniards also realized the importance of the problem, so Nelson made a trip to Amsterdam, and his purpose was very clear, which was to persuade the Australians to export large-scale weapons to them.

It's just that Spain still has money It seems that there is an economic crisis in their country, Deng Yuanjie asked the staff around him with a serious face, they didn't find Spain first because they were in the midst of an economic crisis in their country, so they thought they should not have the purchasing power.

As for the Dutch, it's different. They are the tyrants of Europe, and on the surface, Spain brings back a large number of silver dollars from the Americas every year, but in reality corruption is rife in the country, and there is no longer the same ambition as overseas development, and the big guys are beginning to enjoy life.

The only thing that can be praised is probably their army, the army still has some combat effectiveness, and if there is no intervention by external forces, it is still very powerful, which is recorded in history. The Spanish army was very strong on the European continent, but in modern times it was a little weak, and it became a third-rate country completely.

"Mr. Nickerson, Australia's arms exports are restricted, and the prices are not cheap at all, are you really sure you want them?"

"Of course I am sure, Mr. Consul General does not think that Spain can afford to pay."

"No, no, I'm just saying that. Deng Yuanjie actually thought so in his heart, and he was really worried that they couldn't afford to pay, and Australia was not a good person. ”

As for whether Spain still has money, there should be a little bit of it, as a former empire on which the sun never sets, if there is no money, it will definitely not exist, and it is said that if there is no money, can it be exchanged for resources.

For example, the merino sheep, a species that is strictly controlled by the Spanish government for export, is an important ingredient for high-end wool goods.

It is illegal to export merino sheep, but as long as the king agrees, it is actually not a big deal, so Deng Yuanjie thought about whether to get some for Australia to raise back, and then get the wool production out.

You must know that Australia will be the main source of wool raw materials in the future, and there are many natural pastures here, which are very suitable for grazing, so there is no reason to waste the resources here.

It depends on whether the Spaniards can make up their minds, and if they want weapons, they can either buy them with money, or exchange them with some supplies, in short, don't just talk about it.
