The earliest Portuguese, who rose to the world, used the New World route discovered by Columbus, to bypass the Asia Minor route in the Cape of Good Hope, and quickly rose to become a Western maritime power.

In 1494, Portugal and Spain jointly signed the Treaty of Toldesirias, intending to divide the world into two and begin the path of common external colonization.

But the good times did not last long. The ambitious Spain was not satisfied with dividing the world with Portugal, so it took decades to retake Portugal with the help of in-laws, essentially suppressing Portugal into its own vassal state.

However, what made the Spaniards helpless was that the Ottoman Turkish Empire on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean continued to rise, seriously cutting off the Europeans' Central Asian trade routes, while the sea routes in the Red Sea area have always been monopolized by the Arabs.

The lack of Eastern commodities has caused their prices to rise. Western merchants led by Spain and Portugal are eager to find a new way to the East. This has also become the source of hostility and hatred between Christians and Muslin.

Over the years, Westerners have sufficient reasons to call on the people in the name of God to break the situation where the Arabs dominate the Eastern trade routes in the name of the Crusaders or the Maritime Crusaders, which has also cast a mysterious veil for the great voyage that has lasted for hundreds of years.

As Engels said: "The Portuguese searched for gold on the coast of Africa, in India and the entire Far East; the word gold became a spell that drove the Spaniards to cross the ocean..."

In northern Spain, the quiet rise of the British and Dutch people also made the Spaniards who wanted to dominate the world very unhappy. Therefore, the current West is showing a pattern of aggressive Spain, joint defense between Britain and the Netherlands, Italian duoes working short-term workers everywhere, and the Ottoman Empire is eyeing it.

After listening to Chen Kui's introduction, everyone was thinking, the Spanish are powerful, is it right to compete with them face to face?

Our careers are all at sea, and our enemies are the overlords at sea. Isn’t this proposition a bit ridiculous?

So the atmosphere in the room was silent and depressing. After all, except for a few people such as Lan and Mavi, most of them followed me to fight Spain with their passion and anger. They did not understand what kind of behemoth they were facing.

All of this was as expected, so I asked casually: "What's the situation of that boy Will Smith? He said he was a distant relative of the British royal family. Was that guy yelling at the slightest?"

Chen Kui smiled and said, "Captain, Will did not brag. He is indeed a distant relative of the royal family, but he is very unpopular. However, as he returned from the Ming Dynasty, it attracted the interest of some royal nobles. Captain Buhui also used his recommendation to successfully get involved in the British royal circle."

This is exactly the answer I wanted! At that time, Will Smith and Alfra were saved and they were allowed to return to the West with Wuxuan. My purpose was to make arrangements today and lay the foundation for us to come to the West one day and build a base in the UK!

So I slapped the table and said aloud: "This time the Spaniards framed us first, and we were severely injured under the Spanish ambush. This revenge is definitely not something that a gentleman does not take on! But..."

I looked around everyone and lowered my voice: "But we can't fight against Spain alone, that's a way out!"

Everyone was waiting for my next words. In their opinion, I must have my own plans and plans, so I waited quietly for me to speak.

I stretched out my right hand and pointed to the British Isles, located in the northwest corner of the West, hanging alone overseas, and said: "Look at this place! Although the UK looks small and at a disadvantage in its struggle with Spain, it will inevitably emit huge energy in the future and reach the top of the world!"

Everyone was shocked by my remarks. After all, this was my first time to go to the West, so why could I have such a profound grasp of the development trend of the West and even the world?

I continued, "As the saying goes, holding a hot stove will not fall into people's minds, but holding a cold stove will win people's hearts. It's meaningless to add icing on the cake, and it will only bring favors in time. So we must rely on the UK and join forces with it to fight against Spain!"

Everyone nodded, it was like a dazzling lighthouse suddenly appeared on the vast sea. Although they didn't know where they led, they undoubtedly provided people with a feasible direction.

Moreover, when they knew that I had been planning for today since a long time ago when I went to the West, I strengthened everyone's confidence in following this idea!

Mavie asked again: "Captain, it is indeed feasible to fight Spain. But how to deal with the current situation in East Africa? Do we have to rely on ourselves to win the first battle against Spain first?"

I smiled slightly and asked without answering, "Who is the ruler of this Port St. George?"

Mo replied: "We have sent people to investigate recently. The actual ruler of this port is the Earl of Hernandez from Portugal, who is Governor of St. George."

I asked with interest: "Oh! Let me introduce this person!"

Mo bowed and said, "Yes! Count Hernandez is a firm anti-Spanish figure. Although Spain annexed Portugal by marriage, Hernandez firmly refused to admit that he was Spanish, so he has been engaged in resistance in public and secretly!"

"Oh! Is this really the case?" I crossed my hands with all my interest and said, "So, is this an opportunity to take advantage of?"

Jiugui Masayoshi said: "It is. It is said that the daughter of the Earl of Hernandez died early last year because of the infighting between the palaces of Spain and Portugal. Hernandez himself was also worried about this and always regarded the Spanish as the murderer who killed his daughter."

I nodded and asked, "Is the information reliable?"

Jiugui Masayoshi replied: "The conclusions drawn from multiple researches should be reliable. Count Hernandez will rebel every time West is something that everyone knows."

After hearing this, I smiled slightly and said, "It seems that it is very necessary for us to visit this Earl of Hernandez! See what treasures can be found!"

After saying this, everyone just let me talk, using Taobao as an analogy to illustrate the joy of finding reinforcements. In fact, I was sighing in my heart, and memories from my previous life suddenly surged into my heart.
