The British couldn't hide the intelligence department set up by Zhao Hongyu in Lisbon and the Marseille concession.

As for the vassal states on the side of the Church Coalition and the Protestant Alliance, the intelligence services in the European Concession have been paying attention.

Like the British, turmoil in Europe was what the Song Empire wanted to see.

And the longer the turmoil in Europe, the more favorable it will be for the Song Empire.

Because their experience will be wasted in the war in Europe, and they will not have time to think about other places, will they?

The Song Empire can now develop the cities of the Americas and increase the population, while setting its sights on the ocean.

When the war in Europe came to its senses after the war, the Song Empire would be completely able to change its guns.

It's just that the British also have this idea.

However, the British were different from the Song Empire, which was far away from the American continent and not close to Europe.

Therefore, the independent Song Empire in the Americas could start its own development and design as it pleased, without having to consider the problems of the European vassal states.

But the British are different.

Compared to the Song Empire, the British had to deal with the Portuguese in order to send their fleet to Africa, using African ports as a base, plotting against India and the East.

Of course, Britain can also let its warships go around the distance and go around the sea in a big circle to Africa.

But this will take time, not to mention, it will be intercepted and broken by the Portuguese.

Therefore, the British had to defeat the Portuguese and then take the two small islands at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea as ports to enter Africa.

Unfortunately, the Portuguese and the French had established a cooperative relationship, so it was simply impossible for the British to deal with Portugal and France on their own.

So, the British are now most urgent. It is hoped that the coalition of church vassal states will be dragged in.

The war in the Netherlands is already like this.

Neither the Protestant coalition nor the Church could defeat their opponents in a short period of time, so the military confrontation there would continue.

However, after Portugal and France destroyed Spain, their strength skyrocketed, which cannot be ignored.

With the Portuguese and French occupying Spain, the vassal states of the Church had every chance of defeating Portugal and France and restoring the Spanish Empire.

If they don't do it now, waiting for the Portuguese and French to finish off the Spanish rebels, it will be very difficult to deal with.

And the attack of the allied forces of the church vassal states. It will also overwhelm Portugal and France.

When the time comes, the British will be able to pull out and let the fleet go to Africa to begin receiving the colonial benefits of the Spaniards.

At that time, the alliance of the vassal states of the church would fight on two fronts, with Portugal and France in the west and Protestantism in the east.

The continent was in complete chaos, and no one would have paid attention to the actions of the British.

It doesn't matter if they know what to do, anyway, they can send an army by themselves, and the British have exactly what they can do.

The plans of the British, in fact, strictly speaking, were similar to those of the Song Empire.

It's just that the British are a little more obscene.

Because the Song Empire only wanted European turmoil. However, there was little interest in Africa and the Indian colonies for the time being.

But the British were different, after they were driven out of the American continent by the Song Empire, they urgently needed to find a colony to gain profits to ease the domestic economy, so for this goal. They even hit the idea on the Spaniards in one of the leagues.

Completely ignoring the fact that they are now fellow in one camp.

It can be seen that the obscenity, shamelessness, and meanness of the British have been around since ancient times.

In the future, don't look at them as gentlemen, but they are actually hooligans in their bones.

Poor Spaniards, not to mention the fact that they were brought down by Portugal and France. Now it is still remembered by the British in the same camp.

I have to say that the Spaniards are really tragic.

For the British, Spain was occupied by Portugal and France, and there was no news of the royal family's escape. It can be said that it can be regarded as a dead country.

In the future, on the map of various countries, the Spanish Empire could not exist at all.

Therefore, the colonies of the Spaniards in Africa and India, it can be said that whoever has the ability to seize it will be considered who's own.

Rather than cheapening others at the least, then it is better to cheapen yourself.

Besides, the British also understand this principle very well.

Portugal and France received information from the Song Empire's Concession Intelligence Office, which relayed in detail the current actions and objectives of the British, and judged the plans of the British.

Both Portugal and France attached great importance to this information.

Because of the intention of the British, this is simply challenging their bottom line.

You said that if you Britain helped the Spanish Empire to take revenge, you also said in the past, after all, you are in the same camp.

But you British use this as a pretense, ostensibly to fight us, but in fact you want to drag other people in, and then you withdraw and take advantage, which is a bit excessive.

And now that the alliance of the vassal states of the church has not said anything, you have begun to provoke at sea, which is simply too ignorant of us.

The British in this era are far from being as powerful as they were more than a hundred years later.

At this time, the British, even the Dutch, were not defeated.

It was only decades later, when the British defeated the Dutch, the coachmen of the sea, that they truly established their position as the supremacy of the sea, and then rose to the top of the world with the wealth of many colonies.

But in this era, because of the emergence of the Song Empire, there are also reasons for historical deviations.

The British are still able to develop and rise from time to time like the course of history, and only God can know the way.

The current British, in fact, are still a small shrimp in the eyes of European countries.

Although they had defeated the Spanish Armada decades earlier, that naval battle was fraught with too much luck and coincidence.

Therefore, the countries of the European continent did not see the British as an adversary to face squarely.

Therefore, in the face of the provocation of the British at sea, Portugal and France must immediately and absolutely give them a counterattack, so that the British can taste the might.

Moreover, with the intelligence of the European concessions of the Song Empire, the Portuguese and French also understood the real plans of the British, so how could they not hate the British.

The intelligence analysis is very clear and clear. Each one makes a lot of sense.

The fact that the British, in such a hurry to jump out and use the strength of one country to oppose the maritime authority of Portugal and France, was not actually intended to defeat Portugal and France.

The British had a good plan to drag the attention of Portugal and France to the Mediterranean, so that they would not have time to pay attention to Africa and the Spanish colonies in India.

And for Portugal and France, the Church coalition will definitely take action.

It stands to reason that Spain will not let it be destroyed like this.

Therefore, the British saw the situation clearly, and as long as they dragged the Portuguese and French to join the Church coalition, they could find an excuse to get out.

As for the excuse, isn't it simple?

They British have been fighting you alone for so long. Let's just say that you need to recuperate for a while.

And as long as they get out, the countries of Europe are now involved in their own wars, and they don't care about the rest of the place.

At that time, the British couldn't help but do whatever they wanted.

That's a good idea.

With the reminder of intelligence, coupled with the clear analysis of the intelligence of the Song Empire, Portugal and France also remembered the colonial interests of the Spaniards at this time.

Obviously, the Spaniards were defeated by Portugal and France, and now you British actually want to pick peaches to take advantage, how is this possible?

You must know that Portugal and France are now facing the attack of the coalition forces of the vassal states of the church at any time.

Something like that. Portugal and France will never let this happen.

Since you British want to play, then it's good to play with you.

After receiving the reminder, Portugal and France quickly came into contact, and in a short time the former Spanish colonies in Africa and India were divided on paper.

Didn't you British try to hold us back!

We just can't hold it for you. Let all your plans be frustrated!

The two countries also organized pirate fleets and issued privateer warrants to allow the fleets to rush into the Mediterranean and the western part of Portugal.

Their target was the British and the ships of the Church League.

Due to the geographical location of Portugal, it is relatively superior. So the Church vassal states alliance group began to cup.

Their merchant ships were constantly under attack and could not leave the Mediterranean at all.

If you take the Northern Sea Route, you will be attacked by a fleet of Protestant forces led by the Dutch.

Arguably. Now the merchant ships of the vassal states of the church have completely lost their trade channels, and they are all tightly blocked.

On the other hand, the British are not having a good time.

If you are a privateer license, you will be issued by the British, but other countries will not issue it.

Moreover, the sea ships of the British at this time were not so high-tech.

In fact, everyone's advantages and disadvantages are similar, and no one is better than the other.

If you want to say that the strongest country in this era, you have to say that it is the Song Empire.

Therefore, the privateers of the British were attacked by the Portuguese and French warships one after another, and the losses were very heavy.

Because the British are now facing Portugal and France alone, the British are at a very big disadvantage in terms of the number of warships.

The combined Portuguese and French fleets defeated the British fleet and retreated to the waters around the North Sea.

Then he divided some of his warships and began to go south to Africa to seize the Spanish colonies.

Faced with such a situation, the British are really angry.

But there's nothing they can do now.

The British did not know how Portugal and France could see through their intentions.

Because earlier, the energy of Portugal and France was focused on exterminating the Spanish rebels.

In fact, where did the British know that in this matter, the European concession of the Song Empire played a great role.
