Chapter 442: Quarrel Instead Achieves Cooperation

The faces of the ministers of Ace Duck froze.

This is what they are most worried about, Esbanduck and the Holy Roman Empire belong to the same Habsburg dynasty, and the strength of the navy and army is the first in Europe.

França, the second on land, was surrounded on two sides by the Habsburgs, and the chances of winning the decisive battle were very small.

However, the cohesion of the Habsburgs is very weak, and the local nobles, lords and religious forces are very strong, so from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, it is very large, but the strength of the play does not seem to match the volume.

Wang Hongyu remembered that Count Ao said just now that he was an Oriental and didn't understand the situation of Banya?

That would be wrong, he had already prepared and analyzed, and he said steadily: "In 1580, Philip II, who inherited the Esbanduck and the American domain, took advantage of the crisis of succession after King Sebastian I died in the battle of the Three Kings of Morocco to annex Portugal to form the League of Imberia."

Count Olivares: "This is not an annexation, but the salvation of Portugal, which is in danger of annihilation."

Wang Hongyu retorted: "If Ace Duck had looked at the neighbors of the same nation as Portugal at that time, and helped Portugal economically and militarily, Portugal would not only have been able to smoothly transition to the succession crisis, but also sincerely cooperate with Ace Duck to consolidate the status of the world's number one power.

"But Esbanduck forced the Portuguese Parliament to approve Philip II, King of Esbanduck, and King of Portugal. Portugal, which had infinite scenery during the Age of Discovery, has since become a vassal of Ace Duck. It seems that the duck is rising, but the people of Portugal are gradually deepening their resentment against the duck......

One of Ace's negotiators' assistant sophistry: "It's just that some people have grievances, but Portugal still has the protection of my Ace's duck army."

Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Ming Rites Department, retorted: "Protection? Obviously not, Portugal's national capital is gone, can it still be called protection?"

Wang Hongyu pointed out sharply: "At that time, Portugal had a large area of wealth in Brazil, West Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Instead of reaching out, the pious, courageous, and adventurous neighbors stabbed them in the back."

The Esbanduck prided themselves on being pious, brave and adventurous, but the annexation of Portugal at the time was completely contrary to these spirits.

"No, no, no!" The envoy of the Cuban governor of Esbanya was directly anxious.

"It's going to be messy! There will be other countries that will take advantage of the situation to influence Portugal, and we are here to protect it."

Han Jun, the governor of Zhilu, participated in the negotiations with Portugal last time, and he also did a lot of homework on the grievances between Acebanya and Portugal, and he responded unhurriedly:

"A good escort, a protector has become a country without this one? Philip II was a powerful dog king, and indeed by strengthening the administration of Portugal and its colonies, he set up a number of institutions to ensure the dominance of the Ace Duck.

"Portugal has no national capital, and without an independent voice, it is bound by Ace Duck. But is it worth it? Not at all."

Han Jun directly used what he learned during his previous meeting with the Portuguese, stating that Aceban Duck needed to spend a lot of money and troops to suppress the protests in Lisbon and other places.

Colonies such as Brazil and Goa were recognized as independent by Banya, so they were willing to trade with Banya.

In fact, it is greedy for annexation, losing a lot of money, and setting up unnecessary enemies.

This is all a fact, and no matter how much the minister of Banya explains, it cannot change the repression of Portugal, and the cost of preventing its independence is very high.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

The Deland navy continues to grow and develop, and it has the strength to compete with Ace Plate Duck for supremacy at sea, and you have to unite with the Ming and Portugal to deal with the Netherlands. Not only the Netherlands, but also England and França are all real threats to the Ace Duck."

Wang Hongyu spoke like a cannon: "Then why didn't Aceban Duck send a soldier to help when the Netherlands robbed Portugal's colonies in the South Seas more than ten years ago?

Let me answer for you: you are afraid that you will not be able to beat it.

Ace Duck's Armada failed in its conquest of England.

Ace Duck has a strong Flemish legion, but it can't beat the Dutch Fortress in the Lowlands.

You are afraid of fighting with the two maritime powers of the Netherlands, and you will lose both of them, and you will lose the qualification to compete for the supremacy of the seas!

Of course, so many battles cannot be won and can not be done, and now the Holy Roman Empire is in civil war, and the Habsburgs are surrounded by enemies on all sides. How much more do you want to spend on Portugal and how many troops do you want to use?

You really don't want to cherish Da Ming's friend? The last and strongest friend of the Roman side?"

The new generation of talents who were asked questions continuously by the Southwest United School interpreted in the same tone.

In turn, Ace Duck can only use an accented translator, and even relies on Daming's translator to help.

The faces of the ducks were angry at first, and gradually became helpless, and even a little anxious and crazy.

"Alas, the Ming Kingdom in the East knows that we have a headache all day long." The Chancellor of the Exchequer was so anxious that he ripped off a strand of hair.

Wang Hongyu said in a calm tone: "At this time, Portugal has been ruled by Ace Duck for 45 years, according to what you said about annexing Portugal, now Ace Duck and Portugal should be richer and stronger.

Contrary. At the beginning of the great war in Europe, the economy of the Habsburg Empire was already on the verge of collapse, and the belligerent Esbanya had high domestic and foreign debts, and the maintenance of the normal operation of the country was already a problem. I'm right, right?"

Count Olivares smiled.

Ace Duck lives too much in face, but how difficult the situation is, he knows better than anyone else, except for Wang Hongyu.

This Wang Hongyu is really, he understands it better than him.

"In Huaxia's words, what's it called? It seems that "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain."

Count Ao stretched out his hand to Wang Hongyu and showed his true friendship to shake hands again.

"Count Wang, I need your friend."

Wang Hongyu also stretched out his hand and held Count Olivares' hand tightly.

"We are also very financially difficult, and there are rebels and enemies around us, but we dare to admit and face it. Now, we have the capabilities and advice that will be beneficial to both of us and enable both sides to shape the world together."

"Okay, we'll take it seriously, so please give me your opinion. Of course, we will consider the matter in Portugal, but we will not agree easily."

Wang Hongyu nodded, Banya cherishes the current glory...... You will beg me to help you in the future.
