At the beginning of February 1636, France signed new military alliances with the Netherlands and Sweden, and openly declared war on Spain. This was a full year later than the fourth phase of the Thirty Years' War in Europe, and it can be said that the Irish War, which was interspersed with a bar, had a great impact on the course of history.

At the end of February, France sent troops to reoccupy the Valtrina Pass in northern Italy, and united with Switzerland to cut off the overland link between Spain and Germany - the "Spanish Way" (from Genoa or Milan, north through Switzerland, Alsace to Lorraine, or west via Savoy, Fransconde to Lorraine, and then north to the Netherlands).

Immediately afterwards, French Prime Minister Richelieu concluded a treaty with Bernhard in Weimar and formally intervened in the German War. The Holy Roman Emperor, who had been pushed under his nose, did not hesitate to declare war on France. Swedish troops, determined to avenge the former king Gustav, also made a comeback, landing in Mecklenburg and Pomerania in North Germany in early March, and the Holy Roman Empire, which had been prepared, quickly divided its forces.

As soon as France moved, Spain, which was breathing out of the same nostrils as the Holy Roman Empire, immediately sent an army across the border to attack France from both Spain mainland and Italy.

The largest phase of the Thirty Years' War in Europe, the largest all-European scuffle, officially began, and the smoke of gunfire once again filled the European continent. In contrast, the war in Ireland, which once caused a sensation in Western Europe, was insignificant because of the darkness of the guns.

……

The war on the European continent resumed, and Spain, which had divided its troops in four places, could no longer be exhausted in Ireland.

On March 4, in addition to sending some warships to continue to cooperate with the Chinese and American navies to participate in the naval blockade of Dublin, the main force of the Spanish Army led by the Marquis of Santa Cruz began to gradually withdraw from Ireland.

In the early morning of 10 March, two battalions of the Chinese Foreign Legion, which had been on standby for half a year in the Azores, finally landed at Port Kenmare in County Kerry, southwest of Munster Province, Ireland.

Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Magnificent Foreign Legion who landed on the island of Ireland sailed into Kenmare Harbor under the guidance of military music, and were warmly welcomed by the local Irish people.

"It's Miss Dai Lin!"

Countless Irish men, women, and children stretched out their arms along the crowded streets. Shouting at one of the marching wagons. In the line of sight, in the neat queue of the Chinese Army, a high-end carriage was clearly printed with the mark of the Rose Manor, which the local people had not seen for a year and a half.

The carriage stopped on the side of the street, and under the protection of the heavily armed soldiers, Dai Qingqing wore a robe and walked down with his son who was less than a month old in his arms. With a calm smile on her slightly weak face, she stretched out her hand and shook it slightly towards the cheering crowd around her.

Dai Qingqing's movements set off another wave of turmoil in the welcoming crowd, and the tearful Irish men and women hoarsely called the name of the saint in their hearts over and over again.

"Add, I said it. I'll be back. Dai Qingqing turned back and smiled at his old butler, who only bowed slightly in flattery, and straightened his chest. The housekeeper Eddie was evacuated from the Rose Manor at the beginning, and now this old man has been following Dai Qingqing for at least ten years, becoming an indispensable member of this emerging aristocratic family.

"Qingqing, we will continue our march towards Killarney." Lieutenant Colonel Xu Hongyun, commander of the Foreign Legion's Bison Brigade, walked over and proudly pointed to a group of Europeans dressed as petty nobles with a humble attitude standing not far away, "It seems that there are more lords and old fortunes waiting for you to give benefits." ”

"Well, someday. They will know that they made the right choice today. Dai Qingqing nodded seriously, while carefully tucking the swaddling clothes on her baby son's body, "Eddie, I hope that the Rose Manor will be restored to its previous appearance within half a month." When the time comes, invite these gentlemen to be guests there. ”

"Of course, all the people can't wait to get back to their homes." Add bowed happily, and the men and women behind him were all smiling as they had been evacuated from the Rose Manor.

"That...... Qingqing, your sons have been born. Why haven't you married Dai Botong yet? Xu Hongyun lowered his voice at this time, touched his nose a little embarrassedly and sneered, "Dai Botong is still grinding with the Englishman in Emden. You don't give people a hope? ”

"That's between me and him, Brother Xu." Dai Qingqing said with a wink, and finally returned to the carriage with a mysterious smile.

Xu Hongyun didn't know that now Dai Qingqing's child in his arms had inherited the title of "Baron Hinter" from Frederick V, Marquis of Emden, on the day he was born, and officially became a German nobleman.

The child's gorgeous name is Dai Xinzhi, and the European name is "Frank. Hinter. Morality. Wittelsbach officially inherited Dai Qingqing's little German Bavarian aristocratic blood, while the previous Baron Emdencint family was killed on the battlefield as early as the second phase of the Thirty Years' War.

Historically, Elizabeth, the second daughter of Charles I of England, will also be born in 1636. The monarch, who was destined to come to an end in the English bourgeois civil war, probably had to consider relying on his daughter to find someone to whom the future of the English royal family could be attached.

……

The kingdom of Emden, which had only been established for a few years, was now facing a formidable enemy, and Frederick V's army began to defend the border to be alert to possible invasions by its neighbors. After the reorganization of the Chinese and American military advisers, although the number of Emden's troops was less than 10,000, in terms of weapons and equipment, it was the most elite among the German princes, almost all American-style ordnance, and the supplies were sufficient.

After the French declared a ban on the export of grain in preparation for war in 1634, the Dutch began to hoard grain imported from the Baltics. Food prices in Europe jumped again, with the market price of wheat breaking through the 30 guilders ($150 per tonne) mark per quarter (volumetric unit) and approaching the prices of the Great Famine of the 17th and 20s. At the same time, the price of salt in France and Germany also tripled compared to the 20s, and the whole of Western Europe was once again facing the double pressure of war and famine.

At a time when trade in England was at a standstill, Emden was rightfully one of the new bridgeheads for trade between China and Europe. The abundant flow of grain, livestock, and sea salt from the sea became an economic bargaining chip in the hands of Frederick V, Marquis of Emden. The $80 per tonne wheat purchase price allowed Frederick V to reap staggering windfall profits and diplomatic benefits in the war.

A fleet of Aoguang-class flying scissors from North America arrived at the port of Emden yesterday, and several thousand tons of grain or livestock were unloaded at the port of Emden. Looking at the lively scene in the direction of the port, Frederick V, who was sitting in the conference hall of the official residence, was full of confidence, which also made the other European diplomats participating in the diplomatic talks thoughtful.

“…… We can accept England's peace opinions. But only if the Catholics in County Cork, Ireland are given autonomy! The attitude of the Spanish diplomat Diego remained unchanged, as it was the biggest political motive for Spain's involvement in the war in Ireland.

Today, after the Chinese and American navies officially entered the war, Spain has done its best to avoid the shame of the past, and now the Spanish navy has participated in the joint blockade operation at the mouth of the Thames River, and in the past two months it has intercepted and captured hundreds of large and small merchant ships in the English Channel, not only English merchant ships, but also a large number of Dutch merchant ships, and even some French and Danish merchant ships.

"If His Majesty the King doesn't mind granting Irish Catholics freedom of worship, I personally can agree with it......," said Adams, a deputy to the National Assembly of England, in a low tone. There is no longer the unyielding attitude of death a few days ago, and the representative of the English royal family beside him also looks gloomy.

London has been blockaded by the sea for three months, and the merchant ships plundered by the Chinese or Spanish navies are almost too large to count, and England has suffered much more trade losses than originally expected, and the whole city is in trouble.

"Is there anything else to discuss?" Seeing that the most difficult to communicate armistice clause had been passed, Dai Botong, the diplomatic representative of China and the United States, finally smiled. "Then let's check the other details of the armistice. Given that this in itself is a war that should not have happened, then on the basis of a common will for peace, we will lift the blockade of the Straits. and, after the restoration of normal order in Ireland, honour the withdrawal agreement and return the Isles of Scilly......"

The contents of the agreement were rolled out one by one, and the representative of England nodded and nodded, which had eliminated the vast majority of things that were difficult for the English to accept, and the next time was purely a formality.

"God testifies. This is a fair negotiation! Looking at the Dutch and French diplomats, who had been absent-minded from beginning to end, Frederick V stood up triumphantly and summed up the final settlement of the peace agreement.

……

Under the mediation of Frederick V and the French envoys several times. The final version of the Peace of Emden was signed on March 15, 1636. With regard to the mortgage of national debt and illegal occupation of the Caribbean-related islands, which are rejected by the English National Assembly, this time it has also been basically settled in one go.

1. The islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis and Barbados remain valid as collateral for their debts, and in accordance with the provisions of the debt contract, England continues to bear debts totaling $8 million and pay off them in full within three years, but England continues to be eligible for low-interest loans from Huamei.

2. Huamei unconditionally recovers the three islands of Barbuda, Antigua and Monserrat, which were illegally occupied by England, and England pays compensation of $2 million for the illegal occupation of the three islands.

3. Huamei renounced its demand that England cede to the Virginia colonies of the York, Pamange, and South Anna rivers north of the river, but England agreed to the Virginia Colonial Parliament's self-determination within the next year.

4. The British side shall bear full responsibility for the explosion of a Chinese merchant ship in Jamestown, Virginia, and shall compensate $1 million for various economic losses, and the Chinese and American troops shall withdraw from Jamestown after receiving compensation.

5. England repealed all discriminatory trade laws against the United States during the war, restored the most favored nation trade status of the United States, and opened up the trading rights of Dublin and Plymouth.

6. The Crown of England continues to recognize the Killarney region of Ireland as the right to operate the territory of Baroness Dailene, and pays $1,000,000 in compensation for economic losses.

7. England did not accept Spain's request for the restoration of Catholicism in England, but in exchange England agreed to the autonomy of the Irish Local Council in County Cork, Munster, Ireland, and that the other countries must continue to recognize the lawful possession of the Irish throne by the King of England.

8. England assumed full responsibility for the war in Ireland by paying $6,000,000 to Huamei, $10,000,000 to Spain, $2,000,000 to Portugal, and to redeem English prisoners of war in the Isles of Scilly and Dublin with a ransom of $3,000,000.

The above terms, excluding debts, amounted to a total of 25 million US dollars (of which 13 million belonged to the United States), which was equivalent to almost a year's national revenue of the Kingdom of England, and had to be paid within six months of the signing of the peace treaty. The English would probably have to continue to borrow heavily from the Huamei Banque Nacional Ultramarino or their own tycoon alliance, the Netherlands.

It looked like a painful loss, but the England delegates also thought they were much better off than the worst had expected. Strongholds in the Caribbean, the Gold Coast of West Africa, India, and the Isles of Scilly were preserved. Ireland has also largely survived.

But the biggest hidden danger, or the biggest loss in the hunch, was the British Virginia colony. Because Huamei insisted that the future of Virginia would be handed over to the local colonial parliament for self-determination, if the Virginia colonial parliament continued to choose to remain under the rule of the English crown, it would be okay, but at present, the Virginia colony, which has been infiltrated by Huamei, is obviously infinitely biased towards Huamei.

If this "peace course" is not agreed, the huge war reparations initially proposed by the coalition will be a burden that the Kingdom of England cannot afford at present. That Irish Local Council Autonomy Article in County Cork. Since Spain is not giving an inch, it can only grit its teeth and swallow it, and can only hope to find a suitable opportunity to get it back in the future.

As for the once-mentioned and immediately forgotten island of New Providence (Nassau) in the Bahamas, Huamei did not intend to let England lose it, but continued to leave an English nail in Spain's traditional sphere of influence in the Caribbean for future use.

Under the principle of equal interests, the islands of Sint Eustatius and Saba, which had been privately sold by England to the Netherlands, were "generously" transferred to France by Huamei this time. The French diplomat was pleasantly surprised, but also threw a meaningful smile at the Dutch diplomat, who did not say a word and played the role of soy sauce.

Sint Eustatius and Saba. It was privately occupied by the English royal family in defiance of the protests of the United States, and it was "illegally" sold to the Dutch West India Company last year, and now it is openly given to France at the European diplomatic negotiating table, which is completely to sow discord. Dutch diplomats are angry and dare not spill out.

Because the Netherlands is now "fighting alone" in the New World, the confrontation between the Dutch West India Company and Huamei and Portugal in Brazil has dragged down the Dutch military deployment on the mainland. Although from the point of view of legal authorization, the West India Company had its own overseas colonial operations and even belligerent rights. But everyone knew that the West India Company owned a stake in the Dutch state, and now the Netherlands mainland had almost completely lost all contact with the West India Company's fleet.

Hua Mei was still negotiable without tearing her face, and claimed that it was a Portuguese colonial affair. Huamei fulfilled its treaty obligations only on the basis of their alliance. But Dutch diplomats already have a premonition of the outcome, and in a few moments, Portugal will also have a similar negotiation with the Dutch Governors' Federation in Amsterdam or Lisbon.

A few days later, the news of the signing of the Peace of Emden from across the Atlantic swept all the conversation in China and the United States, and both the Manchester City Weekly and the North American Times reported on the longest war ever fought in Europe in the weekly magazines of the day.

The media reviews, evaluations, and summaries are full of all kinds of hindsightly gestures or sensationalism, but no matter what kind of words and phrases, they all hype up the country's political, diplomatic and military power. The positive public opinion that reached a high point in an instant diluted the national sadness caused by the death of singer Tao Xinmei.

In order to deliberately create an atmosphere of freedom of public opinion, a number of young people who had been instructed to do so began to publish articles in newspapers under false identities to "speculate" about the direction of the state's distribution of the proceeds of the war. Not to mention the other gains, the entire $13 million in war reparations, and the newspapers' public display of the country's return on this typical robbery, have already made most of the people excited, as if the money could immediately fall into their own bedside tables.

"Although the war was thousands of nautical miles away in Europe, there is no doubt that every family in the American Republic of China has paid great hard work for the victory of the country in this war, and the victory belongs to all the people of the American Republic of China. The author personally built yì ......"

Improving the urban environment, increasing investment in urban public infrastructure, and supporting individual entrepreneurs are all kinds of newspaper comments that hope the country has expressed in the near future, and there is a great patriotic spirit of sharing the blessings and woes of the country and the people.

The confrontation between the Navy's Southern Fleet and the Dutch West India Company in Brazil has not yet been concluded, but the tension that had been tense for a year has finally seen the dawn of a total relaxation, and not only ordinary families but also the families of military officers and soldiers have rejoiced.

……

Wednesday, March 26, 1636.

In the past month. After several attempts by the Dutch West India Company to repel several attempts, the main force of the Southern Fleet finally held the port of Olinda, 10 kilometers north of the port of Recife.

A month earlier, the invasion forces of the Dutch West India Company, under the cover of the fleet, had finally broken through the temporary Portuguese defensive line in Recife, with nearly 1,000 Portuguese colonial troops suffering heavy casualties and most of the rest becoming prisoners of war.

More than 4,000 Dutch mercenaries occupied the port of Recife, and the local Portuguese governor was forced to announce his surrender. Together with the blockade of the port, more than a dozen large and small merchant ships and more than 5,000 residents of Recife became the "trophies" of the Dutch West India Company.

This change in the situation of the war also frustrated the desire of the Chinese and American naval command to use maritime deterrence to make the Dutch West India Company withdraw its troops on its own, and land operations were inevitable.

……

Olinda, once thriving with sugar and plantation, is now in ruins. A few months before the Dutch West India Company invaded, looted and a fire. The once-prosperous Portuguese colony, which surpassed the port of Recife, was a charred dead city, with plantations and sugar mills on the outskirts of the city in ruins, and a large number of Olinda's inhabitants either killed by Dutch mercenaries or forced to flee to the port of Recife in the south.

Among the ruins, the only thing that still showed vitality was a heavily guarded military camp. They are the Chinese and American Army, which has been urgently transported by sea from South Africa and the Caribbean for a month, with a total strength of more than 2,100 men in four reinforced battalions. These included three infantry battalions of the former African Brigade from the port of Nanshan and one infantry battalion of the Brown Bear Brigade of the Foreign Legion from the Caribbean, all of which were temporarily organized as the Brazilian Dispatch Brigade of the Chinese American Army. Continued to be commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Scott, former commander of the African Brigade.

Another batch of military supplies arrived by sea, and Brazil's troop reinforcement plan, which had been delayed for almost a month, was finally completed today. The barracks were full of people, the non-commissioned officers of each company gave orders at the top of their voices, and the soldiers who were in a state of defense and recuperation gathered their tents one after another. Tidy up the baggage.

On the north bank of a small river south of Olinda, the brigade commander, Lieutenant Colonel Scott, walked along the shore with his staff team, holding a telescope and looking south, but all but the abandoned plantations were dense primeval tropical rainforest. There is nothing of value to be seen at all, as if that direction is still a savage primitive world.

"Sir, there's a telegram from the Navy. The main forces of the Southern Fleet had to return to Taoyuan Island for maintenance, leaving only two frigates to protect the landing ground in Olinda. The adjutant read a telegram a little uncomfortably, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "Because the storm a few days ago caused a little damage to the battleships moored outside the harbor. ”

"Well, no one can predict the weather here, but that means the Dutch won't necessarily be able to get their way up."

Scott remembered the sudden storm three days earlier, which caught not only the Southern Fleet outside the harbor in charge of maritime defense off guard, but also the camp of the Brazilian Dispatch Brigade in the city of Olinda. Many of the troops' tents were blown down by the nearly 10-force winds, and the heavy rain led to piles of logistical supplies that were soaked in the water, and even injured several soldiers who were sheltering from the wind and rain in the ruins due to the collapse of the masonry.

"So are we going to keep moving? According to reconnaissance, the Dutch force in Recife was at least 4,000 men. Looking at the steady stream of troops behind him, the adjutant lowered his voice.

"The Dutch are now in a defensive position in the city of Recife, where there are thousands of civilians and our chamber of commerce, and the Southern Fleet is not in a position to provide artillery support. No matter how many troops the Dutch had, it was a battle for us that we had to work on ourselves. A rare smile appeared on Scott's face, giving him a chance to refute the Navy's long-standing joke that the Army "can only shoot under the Navy's skirt."

The relaxed attitude of the brigade commander drew laughter from the officers of the staff group, while the officers and men of the Brazilian Dispatch Brigade, who were crossing the river in the south, were not in very good shape.

Groups of Chinese and American Army officers and men crossed the river one after another, and the tropical climate near the equator made every officer and soldier sweat from the moment they left the barracks.

"Stupid, hold hard!"

"A few more!"

The infantry battalion of the Foreign Brown Bear Brigade also carried an additional light field artillery company, which was also the first field artillery unit of the Foreign Legion. Now the four 75-mm field guns are being pushed and pulled by a wave of officers and soldiers, struggling to move forward in the knee-deep river.

A few days ago, the storm and heavy rain caused the river to rise a lot, and the rocks in the riverbed obstructed it. Without exception, the four cannons were jammed, the pack horses responsible for pulling them were trampled wildly, and the officers and men holding the gun carriages around them were sweating in the heat of nearly 30 degrees.

"Without artillery, we estimate that it will be difficult for us to break through the city defenses of the Dutch." Qiao Yan, who walked across the river, turned his head and muttered to the people around him.

"So they should work harder!" Yu Shan smoked a cigarette and smiled at the artillerymen who were struggling in the middle of the river with a non-caring attitude, "It would be better if they could directly make the Dutch surrender!" ”

"Sergeant Major, are there a lot of Dutch people this time?"

From the time Ren Xingzhong landed in Olinda to the present, his mental outlook is suddenly much better than when he was in Nanshan Port, and he has been wiping his rifle almost every day. He even took the initiative to apply to the company headquarters for outpost reconnaissance missions.

"You can't wait...... The opponents were not savage natives, and their rifles had at least three times the range of the Negro's throwing guns, and even cannons. Yu Shan tilted his head and looked at the little soldier who was in high spirits, and he couldn't understand why the other party was so excited.

"I heard that there are many people from the Ming Dynasty in Brazil." Ren Xingzhong tightened the shoulder strap of his rifle, revealing a serious expression, because in the ruins of Olinda before, a corpse dressed in Da Ming clothes had been found, "The Dutch will scourge them!" ”

"I don't see it, you're still very well-informed...... Well. Since more than ten years ago, there have been people of the Ming Dynasty who have settled here, and now I am afraid that there are thousands. ”

Yu Shan was stunned for a moment, and expressed surprise at the insight of the little soldier in front of him. Because he and Qiao Xi settled in Recife at the beginning, they also saw with their own eyes that many Ming refugees settled in Recife for various reasons.

"Damn, if this continues, the whole march will be delayed!"

Makarov walked across the river with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and in a huff of rage at a few motionless cannons. As soon as he turned around, he happened to see Qiao Yan and Yu Shan nearby, so he quickly raised his hand: "Hi." Dear Mr. Yushan, bring a few men over and help these guys at once, or we won't be able to reach Recife tomorrow! ”

"Why does Martha always choose me at a glance...... Did I mess with him? Yu Shan threw the cigarette butt, and there was another strong dissatisfaction.

Before the mountain was assigned, Ren Xingzhong carried the rifle behind him, ran down the river first, and then mixed in the crowd of artillery of the Foreign Legion, and held the cannon hard.

"Hard! That's right, push in that direction! ”

With a shout, the cannon's wheel that was stuck in the rocks finally loosened, and then the cannon body suddenly loosened, and it was pushed out by everyone.

A few of the soldiers who were pushing hard did not contain their strength, and suddenly fell into the river, and a splash of water caused laughter in all directions. Ren Xingzhong was already soaking wet, but he just wiped his face lightly and rushed towards another cannon.

"This young master is full of energy...... Probably he alone will be able to pull all the artillery to the front. Yu Shan, who was standing by the river, couldn't help but exclaim.

……

At this moment, in the distant North American city of Manchester, Ren Changle's home is holding a luncheon to entertain the president of the group's Mayflower Transportation Company, Mr. and Mrs. Adelaide, and the president of the Oriental Union Group, Mr. and Mrs. Andrean.

"These bastards, they actually said that COSCO International Trade Group's qualifications for land purchase in Dominica must be restricted!" Ren Changle ate the dishes in front of him angrily, while constantly complaining to Adrian and Adelaide opposite.

"There is no way, now there are restrictions on any land purchase, whether it is a private person or a business." Yang Wenwen took a sip of juice without changing her face, and expressed her disdain for her husband's real estate methods over the years, "Now that the new amendment to the "Enterprise Land Acquisition Law" has come out, the cost, threshold, purchase tax and land appreciation tax for enterprises to purchase land are also increasing significantly. If the enterprise has more than 30,000 acres of land, the progressive LAT rate will be increased, unless there is too much money to burn. ”

"This is clearly aimed at us!" Ren Changle swallowed a piece of potato roast beef viciously, and the chopsticks in his hand lit up on the table, "Now that the annual land value-added tax has doubled, they will simply take back the land one day!" ”

"Indeed, OUCC's land purchases in South Africa have also been affected." Andrian ate the steak leisurely, and did not forget to echo the previous two sentences, "I guess there are people competing with us right now." ”

"Huh? Compete? Ren Changle was drinking, and as soon as he heard the news, he immediately put down his wine glass, "Which one is it?" ”

"It's not clear, but it's definitely not a state-owned agricultural, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry group. Judging from the news from Nanshan Port, we may need to re-quote. Andrian shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't understand it either, "If possible, I'll build yì and wait, or buy the land in Sands Harbour, which is also suitable and cheaper." ”

"It should be Dong Jiunan and them, I heard that they are forming an African Development Group with Wu Yuanyi." Yang Wenwen seems to be more well-informed.

"Hell, that's bad news! Are they planning to set up a company that is the same as the OUCC Group?! Adelaide, the president of Mayflower Transportation, looked a lot more ugly at this time, because most of his net worth was invested in the Oriental Union Group, "Obviously, only we have the franchise of the Indian Ocean and the Far East route, and they must cooperate with us!" ”

"But South Africa doesn't belong to the Atlantic Ocean, it doesn't belong to the Indian Ocean, it just happens to be in the middle, and anyone can do business in South Africa." Adrian glanced at his companion and said almost sarcastically.

African Development Group ...... Their appetite is really big......" Ren Changle frowned, finally understanding who he was at the South African forum last year.

"By the way, I heard that our Ren Xingzhong is fighting in South Africa? What a brave boy! At this point, Adrian smiled and subconsciously looked to his side, but his usually well-behaved daughter was not around, only his wife's face with crow's feet.

"Now I'm going to Brazil again." Yang Wenwen snatched the conversation on the side, and glanced at her husband by the way, "It is estimated that someone voted in favor of the Congress again." ”

"God willing, he'll be a hero!" Mrs. Adrian interjected at this time, and seemed to be extremely optimistic about her future son-in-law.

"Both Olinda and Recife have our plantations, and since last year, there hasn't been much good news, it's all bad luck......," Ren Changle was noncommittal, but it was obvious that any topic about Brazil would lead to bad feelings.

"Now we also have some business representatives who are stuck in Recife." Adelaide had a heartbroken expression at this time, "God willing, I hope they are still alive." ”

"Hi, eldest sister, brother-in-law! Recife has fallen! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially issued a circular to Amsterdam declaring war on the Dutch West India Company! ”

Everyone was eating and chatting, and suddenly saw Yang Xiaohua, vice president of COSCO International Trade Group, running in waving a newspaper.

"Sounds like a good thing." A few glances swept over, and Andrian, who belongs to the Dutch descent, shrugged his shoulders and quickly stated that he belonged to the Chinese-American people, "I'm sure they will make concessions." (To be continued)
