PS: I'm only in the book review area of four books - the hegemony of the Mediterranean, the road to the rise of Germany, and the Third Reich, and I want to be the gatekeeper and push my own books, because of the content of these four books, the authors, and the book review area, I feel a sense of security, and I don't have to worry about being sprayed all over the skin.

So—

Shamelessly pushing books here.

Sunburner – Spain 1492

Poison points, all kinds of hypocrisy in the first volume, all kinds of assumptions, all kinds of future digging holes and flags. I was too immature at the time, forgive me. I have only recently fully embraced materialist comics. In addition, the first volume can also be regarded as the end of the 15th century. Now I think about it, I'm sweating. However, Du Niang can't find all the ...... I wrote

So, if you can tolerate the poison, you can read the second volume, and now the author is a normal materialist comics.

If you feel it's too poisonous...... You can directly look at the second volume "The Age of the Foundation", and now the author has a clear mind......

———————— above is the content of the author's helpless recommendation————————

……

The expansion of imperialism throughout the world is carried out simultaneously from multiple directions. In the New World, the pioneers of evil Spanish imperialism attacked from all sides to expand Spain's sphere of influence in the Americas.

……

In North America, not only did the Spanish occupy New York, Newfoundland, and Quebec, but in August 1495, while exploring the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Aragonese also found a place in eastern Canada to go it alone (previously a stronghold established by the Castilian or Castilian and Aragonese people).

There are actually only three places in eastern Canada where you can land and establish a base, Newfoundland, Quebec and Nova Scotia. Britain and France fought for Newfoundland, France occupied Quebec, and Britain occupied Nova Scotia.

Ferdinand planned to occupy all three places, so that Britain and France would have no way to start exploring—and besides, didn't the gang waste forty years before they began to establish a colony? Hehe, by that time, the daylilies would be cold.

Newfoundland sent an expedition to build the Quebec Fortress, and New York was not far behind.

During the summer in New York, the fields are golden and the wheat waves are rolling, and hundreds of Spaniards and some Indians are busy harvesting the spring wheat that ripens in mid-to-late July. At the same time, there are people who catch big fish and beavers in river valleys, sea boats catch marine fish and sea otters, and hunting and logging teams cut through the primeval forests of North America, capturing wild cats, martens, turkeys, deer, foxes and even gray wolves, and cutting down tall oak trees.

……

Speaking of New York, the development is getting better and better, and after buying the land of today's New York City from the Delawares, the Spaniards have cultivated more than 8,000 acres of farmland (less than 6 square kilometers...... Crops such as wheat, rye, buckwheat and corn (half of them) were cultivated, some Indians were employed to participate in labor, and after the construction of basic water conservancy and the possession of sufficient ploughing cattle and iron farming tools from the homeland, the spring corn production in 1495 was 2 million kilograms, and the wheat and other wheat production was slightly more than 800,000 kilograms, in addition to various hunting and fishing income.

This situation is far worse than in Sardinia, and it looks like a failure. But don't forget that this is a newly discovered new continent, although it has been developed for two years, it has no basic conditions when it first arrives on Manhattan Island, it is completely starting from scratch, and the New York detachment of the Reclamation Corps, although the largest detachment (except for Hispaniola), has only 1,150 people, it is impossible to carry out all agricultural production, it is necessary to maintain a standing alert force, and the infrastructure is also non-existent. In 1494 it was not possible to concentrate on production - at that time it was necessary to expand new territories on the mainland. Even after receiving reinforcements, there was only a pitiful total of 1,350 people. Of course, the word poor may not take into account the feelings of Newfoundland, Panama, and Brazil......

At least, New York is now self-sufficient in its food supply. That's something to be proud of. When the Puritans first arrived in North America, many died of starvation.

However, New York was not just barely able to make ends meet, and nature had blessed the new Europeans with rich gifts – furs and trees – and in the first half of 1495 alone, New York received 14,492 beaver skins, 356 beaver skins (beavers and otters are not the same creature), 1,350 otter skins, 96 mink skins, 76 wildcat skins, 66 mink skins, and 72 muskrat skins...... as well as plenty of oak and hickory, among other ...... In mid-July, along with the grain harvest, the furs and timber are also loaded on ships and shipped to the mainland. Of course, some of them are left behind to support infrastructure projects.

Today, if Alonso doesn't go to jail, he can occupy several pages in the UC Shock Department.

New York's development will continue, and it is destined to be the heart of the future economic empire – and there will be more than one.

Spain had to gain a foothold in North America, both by developing settlements in North America and by strengthening the protection of its military forces. Newfoundland in North America is geographically advantageous, and the Spaniards have formed an alliance with the indigenous Beotuc, which is relatively safe. Quebec is now relatively weakly defended, but it is safe at the narrowing of the mouth of the St. Lawrence, far from the Atlantic, and the British and French are not at all able to reach its edge at present.

The New York area is the strongest defense force in North America, and the Reclamation Corps is even building a star-shaped fortress. Of course, such a fortress is only temporary. They will be replaced by larger, stronger fort groups. Building a fortress is a lot of money. France's grand fort project at Cape de Diamond in Quebec was approved by Vauban in the past. Until Quebec was occupied by the British after the Seven Years' War, the fort was not completed. The British finished repairing the fortress in Quebec, but never saw it in action again......

Speaking of which, the Nova Scotia settlement that will be built is the weakest defended, exposed to the opposite side of the British, but you can comfort yourself that the British can't come now, and we will try to make them not want to come in the future!

Thus, after the summer harvest, New York followed the example of Newfoundland and sent a detachment of 300 men, which, at the request of His Majesty, were ready to establish a base on the peninsula of Nova Scotia in the north!

On August 23, 1495, the Nova Scotia expedition departed New York on four ships and headed north to the Nova Scotia Peninsula. On 26 August, they arrived at their destination and began to build settlements and forts, and the Nova Scotia Peninsula became a Spanish base.

The "iron triangle" of "Newfoundland-Quebec-Nova Scotia" has firmly locked the east coast of Canada, and now Spain's position in Canada is determined, and Britain and France will not want to come over in 40 years, and they will not be able to come in 40 years. At the same time, they echoed New York in the south, maintaining Spanish control over North America.

The problem now is that as the superpower of the United States, Spain still has only one New York City as a base, which is much worse than Canada further north, and there is a sense of disobedience.

It can't be helped, who made Eastern Canada relatively close to Western Europe? Now is the time to seize the key node, and can only give priority to improving the iron triangle in eastern Canada, and the operation of the American region is lagging behind.

However, this situation will soon change, and Ferdinand has already set the goal of expanding in North America in 1496, concentrating on the coastal areas of the United States - the important port city between New York and Canada, Boston, the largest city in New England, the estuary port of Philadelphia in the Delaware River Valley, and New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River - opening up another passage from the Gulf of Mexico into the central Great Plains of North America. Development and colonization were carried out in both the northern and central regions......
