Chapter 130: Europa Must Keep Fighting
The first day of the third round of peace talks has ended.
When the representatives of the Tessie countries left the venue, there was no special change except for the slightly depressing atmosphere.
After returning home, they did not directly gather all of them for a meeting, but went back to their own places to rest.
Then the British privately contacted the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the French, and the representatives of the four countries gathered separately.
All four countries were colonial powers, and all had vast colonies in Yinzhou.
After the representatives of the four countries were seated, British Prime Minister Pitt, who was the organizer of the talks, first looked at the two representatives of Spain:
"Spain probably won't accept all of the Ming Dynasty's permanent peace treaties, right?"
Prince Fernando's enslavement was not over, and at this time he said very resolutely and decisively:
"It's impossible to accept!"
Prime Minister Manuel's expression was deep and solemn:
"But...... Spain itself is already facing a direct threat from the Ming navy......"
Pete said right away:
"But that's just a threat, the British Navy has long threatened the Spanish mainland, and the Spanish Navy has threatened the British mainland.
"But do we have the ability to land directly and occupy each other's homeland?"
Manuel said with a straight face:
"You give Gibraltar back first."
Pete immediately explained with a very helpless expression:
"Gibraltar was not forcibly occupied by the British, but was acquired through a deal after the War of the Spanish Succession.
"We still believe that we do not have the capacity to occupy a large amount of land in Spain, much less to rule a large number of Spaniards.
"Daming also thinks so, so our mainland is relatively safe, at most the coastline is harassed.
"If we were to go to war again with the Ming at the same time, Britain could return Gibraltar to Spain.
"But Spain must allow the British fleet to enter and leave the Mediterranean and fight the Ming fleet in the Mediterranean."
Pete's promise was astonishing, but the terms of his promise were even more surprising.
The delegates around him, all waiting to look at Pete.
Prince Fernando of Spain asked directly:
"Has Britain decided to continue fighting the Ming Dynasty?"
Pete nodded directly:
"Yes."
There was an immediate burst of astonishment.
Although the representatives of several countries attending the meeting already had some ideas in their hearts, they were not so resolute and resolute.
Pete stood up directly, looked around at the representatives of the Tessie countries, and said in a deep and solemn tone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you really believe in Da Ming?
"Do you think that the so-called permanent peace treaty can really bring peace?
"I don't think so.
"There are so many ways to get land without war.
"Da Ming is indeed more faithful to his promises, but he only keeps clear promises.
"Are all the rebels in the Yinzhou colony really formed spontaneously? Is it possible that Daming supported it?
"Even if it is not supported by Daming, can Daming provide support in the future?
"Even if you make a compromise and leave only Mexico, will the Ming Dynasty let you concentrate on quelling the rebellion?
"If the rebels in Mexico are subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, do you think the Ming Dynasty will intervene?
"So don't have any illusions about Da Ming.
"I've seen through Daming's greed.
"The Ming Dynasty's demand and demand for colonies is never-ending.
"They will definitely not stop at Southern Yinzhou forever, and the entire Northern Yinzhou is also the goal of the Ming Dynasty.
"And unlike the countries of Europa, the colonies of the Ming Dynasty are not only raw material sources and commodity markets.
"At the same time, it is also a 'land for colonization' in the true sense of the word.
"According to the data I know so far, there are currently 420 million pure-blooded Da Ming people and 140 million mixed-race Da Ming people.
"Combined, the total number of the two is more than 560 million.
"Do you understand what this concept is?
This shows that the Ming people have the ability to directly rule the whole world.
"The Ming Dynasty is able to turn all the colonies into the Ming Dynasty's homeland.
"There is no doubt that the goal of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely not only the South Yin Zhou that he is currently claiming, but also that Spain will never allow Spain to keep Mexico forever.
"Daming's goal is the whole world.
"If we Europa don't resist, our descendants will be imprisoned in Europa proper.
"All other lands in the whole world will be occupied by the Ming Dynasty.
"Europa will lose everything by then!
"By that time, the number of Ming people may exceed a billion, or even fifteen billion.
"The more important thing is that we can't guarantee that at that time, we will still be able to keep Europa soil.
"So there is no future for Europa!
"So we must resist, we must continue to fight against the Ming.
"For ourselves, for our children and grandchildren, for the future of all of us Europa.
"So we have to keep fighting!"
Throughout the preaching process, Pete took the initiative to guide the emotions of the audience with his own spontaneous and true emotions.
Pete does a good job of rendering an atmosphere of despair.
In the midst of the Ming threat, the Europa people will be forever trapped in their homeland, losing all overseas resources and profits.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
The future of the Europa people will be dark.
To avoid this futureless future, the Europa must continue to fight.
The crowd in the small room was furious for a while.
"Yes, we have to fight!"
"You can't leave the whole world to Da Ming for his own sake!"
"For the glory of our family!"
"For the future of our Europa!"
But in the midst of this noise, there are also people who calmly raise questions.
Prince José of Portugal spoke in a sad tone:
"But we can't afford to fight anymore......"
Pete immediately picked up the conversation and continued to explain his detailed thoughts:
"We have to fight, but the best time is not now, but 20 years from now.
"We will use these twenty years to restore order in our Europa and tap all the power of our Europa.
Twenty years later, he fought to the death with the Ming Dynasty again.
"The worst outcome is the loss of all the colonies.
"And that is obviously the real goal of the Ming Dynasty, even if we don't fight, the Ming will find a way to seize the colony.
"So it couldn't have been worse!"
Prince Jose nodded silently, agreeing with Pete's statement.
Then Talleyrand of France spoke again:
"Is it only our four countries that are fighting against the Ming Dynasty?
"What about the Prussians, the Austrians, the Italians, and Lucia?
"If they fall to the side of the Ming Dynasty and fight with us directly on the Europa Continent, then the Ming Dynasty can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Pete seems to have been prepared:
"If you can pull it over, of course you have to pull it over.
"Landlocked European countries without colonies, countries bordering Daming without colonies, are naturally potential allies of Daming.
"Therefore, in the follow-up colony development of Mozhou, we can be a little humble to the following and allow them to develop more colonies in Mozhou.
"We can move in unison, and secretly force them to open up the direction and move closer to the colonial frontier of the Ming Dynasty.
"Let them create border friction, and let their colonies also become the target of the next war of the Ming Dynasty.
"Then when it's time for the next war, they'll have to be on our side."
Representatives of several other countries nodded their heads and basically agreed with Pitt's statement.
Just then, Manuel's secretary ran in and handed him a note.
Manuel was furious after reading it:
"Da Ming is too much!"
The other delegates immediately looked at Manuel with suspicious faces.
Manuel passed the note down and explained it directly:
"Prince Da Shi of the Ming Dynasty sent a message that he had missed some conditions at the meeting.
"If Spain wants to sign a twenty-year peace treaty, it must surrender the Little Andrés Islands.
"Outside of their Ming coastline, no islands controlled by other countries are allowed.
"He also said that these conditions are not negotiable, only accept or not accept, and if you don't accept it, let us leave directly."
Prince Fernando of Spain has gritted his teeth and popped out four Chinese characters:
"Too much deception!"
Everyone else thinks the same way.
Seeing this, Talleyrand reassured:
"Patience, we must endure now, and continuing the war now is the most unfavorable situation for us.
"I suggest that these islands be surrendered, and that we have to buy these twenty years to prepare for future wars.
Pete also nodded:
"The most important Texas and Cuba should not be handed over, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will control the coastline in the eastern part of Beiyinzhou, and we will be very passive."
Fernando gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and nodded very stiffly.
Several other delegates also nodded with sad expressions.
The four colonial powers of Tessie completely unified their minds and decided to start preparing ahead of schedule for the war twenty years later.
The four then moved on to more details.
Talleyrand began by stating his views on the existing colonies:
"The land handed over by Spain and Portugal was originally full of rebels.
"After the Ming Dynasty took over these lands, its first task was to suppress the rebels in Nanyinzhou.
"If these rebels can't be eradicated, then the Ming Dynasty will not be able to completely South Yinzhou.
"Our interests are opposite to those of the Ming Dynasty.
"When we control these lands, we have to suppress the rebels, and when we hand over the land, we have to support the rebels.
"Even when the land is handed over, support can be started in advance.
"The Ming demanded that we hand over the cities and strongholds under our control, but our soldiers could take the initiative to 'defeat'.
"Ceded part of the land and the city directly to the rebels.
"The time when these cities and lands were handed over was also when we established contact with the rebels.
"With Daming's attitude towards the Taixi people, it is difficult for those rebel leaders to get a position in Daming.
"And we can give them true nobility.
"By any means, if the rebellion in those lands can continue for twenty years, it will be very beneficial to our war."
Representatives of several other countries nodded their heads as they listened, and the Spaniards nodded through gritted teeth.
Then Pete reminded of another direction:
"Portugal should pay special attention to the fact that the land that Portugal can leave behind is our last fortress in Nanyinzhou and the stronghold of the subsequent counteroffensive.
"In the next twenty years, this land must be built into a truly impregnable fortress of the South Atlantic.
"This construction cannot be undertaken by Portugal itself, and our other three countries should also fully support it.
"Ordinary people on the ground either withdraw, or become soldiers, or serve soldiers.
"In short, there is not a single person who is useless for the war there!"
The Portuguese also nodded solemnly, approving this natural arrangement.
Representatives of the four countries discussed continuously for a whole day, and then jointly wrote a full analysis report, which was sent to the kings in the rear.
Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, the kings of the four countries all fell into a long silence after reading the report.
I asked you to go to peace talks, but you are starting to prepare for future wars!
But a careful reading of the report's analysis reveals that the kings have no choice but to accept this reality.
After thinking about each for a long time, the kings summoned the most central royal family and ministers to carefully study the proposals of the representatives in front of them.
At the same time, a messenger was arranged to exchange information with the kings of the other three countries at any time, and to ask the representatives of the front for details at any time.
After five days of intense debate, several general strategies were finally formed.
First, accept a twenty-year peace treaty and prepare for war twenty years later.
Second, the goal of the war twenty years later is to truly flatten the Ming Dynasty and seize the entire Yinzhou continent.
Third, Portugal and Spain restored the colonies of Southern Yinzhou, including the northern part of the Southern Tianfu of the Ming Dynasty, and the Antilles were shared by Britain and Spain.
Fourth, Spain stopped colonizing North Yinzhou, and all the land north of Texas was developed by Britain and France.
Fifth, use the undeveloped land of Mozhou to win over Prussia, Italy, Austria, and Lucia.
The goal of Spain and Portugal was to restore the original colonies of Nanyinzhou, which had been developed for more than 200 years.
The goal of Britain and France was to expel the Ming forces from the middle and north of the Atlantic and ensure that this sea belonged to the Tessies.
According to their own assessments, none of these goals are too high.
The land involved is very large, but it is a colony, not a homeland.
But they still have a misunderstanding, they think that Da Ming can put down the shelf and negotiate peace with them when he is at a disadvantage.
Because Da Ming hasn't lost much so far, they don't know what will happen if Da Ming loses.
Two days later, Spain and Portugal officially notified the Ming that they would accept a 20-year peace treaty.
They will not withdraw from the anti-Ming alliance, nor will they not sign a separate peace treaty, but will wait for other countries to conclude negotiations and jointly sign a peace treaty.
Zhu Jingyuan and the officials of Daming were a little surprised, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
As for the Dutch, after getting the conditions of permanent peace, they basically didn't think much about it, and decided to sign a separate contract with Daming.
The Dutch had recognized their status and no longer wanted to continue to get involved in the Ming and anti-Ming alliances.
Its own power will not play a role, and if it is implicated in the defeat of a great power, the remaining overseas industries will also be lost.
The day after Britain, France, Spain and Portugal responded, on June 23, the 34th year of Daming Taiping, Daming officially signed a contract with the Dutch.
As is customary, after signing a permanent peace treaty, then withdraw from the anti-Ming alliance, and the Dutch did the same.
After the signing of the agreement, the Dutch, like Lucia, remained at the Western Cape, waiting for the final meeting of the League of Nations and the colony of Mexican.
