Chapter 80: Under the Influence
Flores. Governor Fruella frowned, looked at Garcia and said uncertainly: "That Han Empire, is it really as powerful as you say?" Can shake the rule of our Kingdom of Spain in the colonies? ”
Garcia explained with a solemn face: "Your Excellency the Governor, a single Han Empire will naturally not shake the foundation of our rule over the colonies, no matter how powerful Zhao Dutian is, at most he will pull out a few thousand line infantry who can fight, after all, the Great Han Empire must go all out to deal with one of our crusading armies."

But!
The internal instability of our colony! ”
The Spanish general, who was standing on the side and was originally relieved to be a foil, was moved when he heard Garcia's last words!
Garcia's words reminded these generals of the current predicament of the colony!
Garcia didn't look at the generals' expressions, and continued: "Once that Zhao Dutian discovers the true situation of our colony and secretly sends people to contact those hateful independent rebels in the colony, if the inside and outside are combined, it will be difficult to deal with the army in our colony alone!"
In case the Han Empire really provokes the rebellion of those low-level people with impure blood, we will lose a lot of human resources, and in the war against the Han Empire, the balance of strength will be reversed in an instant!
In the current situation, we don't even dare to move too many troops and leave the existing garrison!
When the crusading army was deployed, there were already many independent rebels secretly contacting, but most of the troops we drew were troops from colonial cities on the west coast, and the main force here in Mexico did not move, so it did not cause large-scale riots!
So ......"
"So you want me to give you the authority to fully mobilize the militias of the colonial cities on the west coast and form a new army, do you?"
Flores. Governor Fruella didn't wait for Garcia to finish, and spoke.
This is the reason why Garcia exaggerated the strength of the Han Empire!
In Garcia's eyes, the Han Empire can at most protect itself, threatening the colonies or something, which requires a big brain to think badly!
Yes, the victory of the Han Empire in the first war did impress the Spanish colonial government, but it was far from the level that the Spanish colonial government feared!
After all, the Kingdom of Spain now has a stable territory, a vast colony, abundant products, decent industrial capacity, and a large population!
No matter how powerful the Han Empire is, it only occupies an incomplete California region, and the Indian population under its command is definitely not as large as the Spaniards!
Even with a basic manufacturing industry, the fledgling Han Empire will not be able to catch up with the old European powers, even if this power has a false appearance, and it is strong in the middle!
This is the innate superiority of the Spaniards in the face of the Indians, and it is an unshakable superiority that has gradually accumulated under the continuous massacre of the Indians!
Therefore, even if Zhao Dutian achieves a great victory, it will only make Garcia feel trouble, not a crisis!
This is also Flores. When Governor Fruela heard Garcia talk about all-out war, he was puzzled by the uncertain reason, in fact, he just felt that Zhao Dutian was just a trouble, but he didn't understand why Garcia, the commander of the army, was so 'alarmist'......
And Garcia's real purpose is only one, hoping to get the Governor's authorization to recruit his own army on the west coast of California openly!
Anyway, there's a gold mine there, as long as Flores. Governor Fruela nodded, funding is not a problem at all!
Give Garcia this authorization to Flores. Governor Fruela did not benefit in the slightest, because he did not feel that the colonial cities on the west coast would be threatened by the Han Empire!
However, since it was Garcia's request, and he still made so many foreshadowing requests, and the Spanish generals behind him were all moved, it was really difficult for him to refuse......
In any case, it is always right to prevent trouble before it happens, and as the governor of New Spain, he can't boast without a brain that the Spanish army is invincible, and the clown of the Han Empire is not to worry......
So to put it, no one will object, but it is definitely an insult to one's own prestige and intelligence!
Don't forget, the previous crusaders have just been wiped out!
Well, this point is reversed to become Flores. Governor Fruella's handle......
Now that the crusading army has been completely annihilated, whatever he says to refute the threat of the Han Empire is too blank and powerless......
Forget it, Garcia can expand his power in the colonial cities on the west coast, unless he doesn't want to come back in the future, as long as he wants to come back, I have a way to make his expanded forces disappear!
"Your Excellency the Governor, in front of the rising empire of the Indians, it is necessary to prepare more." Garcia smiled.
Flores. After Governor Fruela figured it out, it didn't matter, no matter how Garcia expanded his strength, it was also the army of the Kingdom of Spain, and in the general direction, it was still worth affirming!
"Well, I approved it, Captain Garcia's caution is very necessary, and when the time comes, I will give you a charter, and then inform the chief of the colonial city of Monterrey to fully cooperate with you!"
Flores. Even if Governor Fruella agrees with Garcia's idea of expanding his army, he still has to do some restrictions, there are so many gold mines on the west coast, if there is no limit to the expansion of the army, then Garcia, who has been weakened by this difficulty, will not be bigger again?!
This is absolutely not allowed!
After hearing this, the Spanish generals behind him once again resumed the realm of looking at the nose and the nose and the heart......
When everything was arranged, many Spanish generals withdrew from Flores. Behind Governor Fruella's office, the Spaniard, who was a bit of an older grade, sat back in his chair and looked up in thought.
This defeat may not be a good thing, there is no excuse to support the mainland, you can use the rising Han Empire as an excuse, Garcia has a good point, the independent rebel forces within the colony are getting bigger and bigger, I don't know if it is supported by the British or the French, these mud legs are really restless!
Well, the report on the homeland should be more serious, so that more gold and silver can be withheld and used to expand the colony!
Such a large colony, only tens of thousands of troops, is still too few, hum~ Philip V, if you want to move my seat, you better save your worries, and stabilize the territory first!
A hybrid puppet of the French!
Flores. Governor Fruela cursed indignantly at Philip V.
