Spain and Portugal live on the Iberian Peninsula. In 861 AD, Portugal's King Alfonso declared Portugal independence, but Spain refused to recognize it. For this reason, the two countries experienced more than 300 years of war. It was not until 1143 AD that Spain recognized Portugal as an independent country. In 1494 Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesirias. The treaty stipulates that a dividing line is drawn between 41° and 45° west longitude. Any newly discovered land east of the dividing line belongs to the Portuguese sphere of influence, while the newly discovered land west belongs to the Spanish sphere of influence.

This dividing line was protected by Pope Alexander VI, called the "Popular Meridian". In the 15th and 16th centuries, although Portugal had a large number of colonies overseas, they were once again occupied by the Spanish King Philip II in 1580. Portugal did not escape the rule of the Philip dynasty until 1640. Therefore, in the eyes of the Portuguese, their maritime hegemony was degenerated because of Spain, because the Spanish dragged them into war and the country's wealth was destroyed.

The Spanish are not countries that will not fight back by others. After a while, the two sides naturally fought fiercely. In fact, Xiao Lin estimated that if both sides had an advantageous position in the ocean compared to other European countries and could still seize colonies everywhere in the world, the two countries would not continue to fight to the death. Border friction is inevitable, but at least they would not be the case.

Because the Spanish also believed that Portuguese and Spanish were of the same species and roots, people from both countries also liked bullfighting. The only difference was that the Spanish bullfighters would kill the cows in the bullfighting ring, while the Portuguese bullfighters only pressed the cows to the ground and won. Therefore, Xiaolin felt that the conflict between the two countries could be resolved. However, Xiaolin did not act too rush, but hinted both sides. Especially the Spanish, Xiaolin seemed to express his dissatisfaction with their surrender to the British, but the governor knew that if he wanted to get the company's assistance, he could no longer rely on the British tree to enjoy the shade.

Just after the evening dinner, the Spanish Governor brought two confidants back to the room arranged by the government guesthouse in the starting city. All the people who could speak in the entire team were called to his room by the Governor Flores and negotiated on the conditions given by the company. Shawlin specially gave them seven identical agreements, which were to leave them room for negotiation. The above agreement was very simple. Shawlin could fully accept the conditions proposed by Spain, but added one, that is, he had to stand on the side of the company and be enemies with the United Kingdom.

As a country that was pulled down from the dominance of the ocean by the British, the Spaniards were afraid of the British and hated them. At the same time, because they wanted to regain their strength, they had to accept the support of the British and fight as their younger brothers. The British, who were beaten up by the French, now have a momentum of burning their boats. The Spanish didn't want to be younger brothers, and the British also felt that the Spanish were stronger and could cooperate with their army to attack the French at critical moments.

The Spanish leaders were still very clear about the thoughts of the British. As the governor, Flores, naturally knew very well. If it were not for the money and weapons that the British had really needed to provide assistance to the British, they would not have agreed to the conditions of the British. Later, the French found the Portuguese and became the big tree behind them in order to sanction the Spanish. The people in the mission were Flores' aides and knew a lot of inside information. Seeing this condition, everyone responded differently. Some people felt it was completely acceptable, while others were very hesitant and frowned.

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, just talk about it, do you have any ideas?"

"This, Governor, this Yanhuang Trading Company did not bargain with us. This is very good. Even the local area will reward you. The key is that it is necessary to make us betray the British. It is really a bit troublesome. Although the French made the British fall into a big flaw, the British have a deep foundation and the colonies continue to convey benefits. It will take a long time to restore their strength. We are not opponents."

"What are you saying? You are so afraid of those English pirates and are so anxious to be a dog for others."

"What did you say? I am seeking truth from facts. If you have the ability, you can find a way to solve the possible revenge of the British."

"You know, as long as the company promised weapons, not to mention resisting possible revenge from the British, it will be fine if it attacks the British Isles. Besides, it is not only our country that is enemies with Britain. The French are still there, and Portugal is following the French. Isn't it very easy to talk to them and fight against the British together?"

"You idiot, the Portuguese are competing for territory with us. How could they make peace with us? Are you worthy of the sacrifice of the kingdom before?"

"You are a pig. When you have the strength, you can go directly to rob the British colony. It is no better than killing life and death on that little barren land. You have short-sighted eyes."

"What did you say, say it again!"

Seeing his staff members from the civilized words at the beginning to the swearing words afterwards, and then to the scene where they are about to fight each other, Flores' forehead hurts. However, there is not a lack of suggestions he likes. Indeed, to grab the colony, the benefits will be more than fighting with the Portuguese, and the price will be much less. If they can really unite France and Portugal, the British will not be so invincible. The key is the company's attitude in this.

He had heard before that the company was petty and loved to hold grudges, but now it seems that it is really groundless. The British just got a few fights with them, but they were hated. Not only did they drive them out of the North American continent, but they still wanted to make trouble for them, and they wanted to turn all European countries into enemies of the British. Moreover, they had capital, whether it was food, clothing, daily necessities, muskets, artillery and other weapons, the advanced level was greater than that of all European countries, and no country would ignore these.

If you want to get it, you have to pay. As the Spanish, who has been in a miserable situation in recent hundreds of years, understand this truth deeply. The key is to see if it needs to be more than you pay. According to now, if you operate well, you will indeed pay less than you get. If you can understand the attitude of the Portuguese, you can make a better judgment. Flores didn't know that the Portuguese had also been proposed by Xiao Lin.

First, they asked the Portuguese not to continue to provoke the Spaniards. Secondly, they also hope that they would follow the French and keep causing trouble for the British. For the second condition, they didn't care at all. Anyway, they were already hostile, and even if they offended them a little more seriously, they would not cause any serious consequences. The first one is that they have a lot of complaints. After all, the main reason they want to obtain company assistance is to overwhelm the Spaniards and thus completely gain independent status.

The whole of Portugal fantasized that after receiving assistance from the company, they could rush on Spanish territory, watching the former enemies lower their proud heads in front of them and let them take them. Now they want to get assistance but want them to give up this fantasy, which is really unacceptable. They even started to lock in the room and discuss it since the noon reception, and they didn't even eat supper, but still did not discuss a good result. In desperation, the governor could only send a message to the local area while continuing to negotiate with Xiao Lin, wanting to get rid of this agreement.

After two months of delay, Xiao Lin never let go. Moreover, Xiao Lin began to make trouble in front of them and make all kinds of good things to tempt them. From time to time, he showed them the power of Hall m1819 and the heavy punch one style, and the heavy punch two styles were all dragged out. All kinds of gorgeous clothes, exquisite food, convenient and delicious food, canned food and instant noodles for military rations were all shook in front of them. However, he did not agree to his conditions and did not give them anything.

The two countries were so enchanted that they finally compromised. News came from the local area that the two governors fully agreed to the conditions of Shawlin. On November 9, 1727, the three countries of Spain, Portugal and France began secret negotiations, and then the entire continental pattern began to change. The Spaniards began to break away from the control of the British, got together with the French and Portuguese, and targeted the British everywhere. With the fleets of the two countries, the French once again withstood the pressure of the British fleet. When the new fleet was formed, it would be difficult for the British.

The British were so angry that they all formed 50,000 troops and 100 warships, and began to punish Spain. The French and Portuguese helped the French, and the French even sent their main troops to help in Spain, which made the British unable to go up and down, which was very embarrassing. Xiao Lin stayed in his North American continent and began to continuously enhance the company's strength. The prosperous and stable environment made the company usher in a baby boom this year, with 500,000 newborns born, making the entire company full of hope.
