Daming 1805

Chapter 131 Europa must continue to fight

The meeting on the first day of the third round of peace talks is over.

When the representatives of the Thai and Western countries left the venue, there was no special change except that the atmosphere was a little depressed.

After returning, they didn't all gather for a meeting directly, but went back to their own residences to rest.

The British then privately contacted the Spaniards, the Portuguese, and the French, and representatives of the four countries gathered separately.

The four countries are all colonial countries, and they all have vast colonies in Yinzhou.

After the representatives of the four countries were seated, the British Prime Minister Peter, who was the organizer of the talks, first looked at the two representatives of Spain:
"Spain will not accept all the permanent peace treaties of Ming Dynasty?"

Prince Fernando's enslavement still persisted, so he said very resolutely at this time:
"Impossible to accept!"

Prime Minister Manuel's expression was deep and dignified:
"But... the mainland of Spain is already facing the direct threat of Ming's navy..."

Pete immediately said:
"But that's just a threat. The British navy has threatened the Spanish mainland for a long time, and the Spanish navy has also threatened the British mainland.

"But do we both have the ability to directly land and occupy each other's territory?"

Manuel said with a straight face:

"You return Gibraltar first."

Pete immediately explained with a very helpless expression:
"Gibraltar was not occupied by the British by forceful landing, it was acquired through a deal after the War of Spanish Succession.

"We still think that we are not capable of occupying a large amount of Spanish land, let alone ruling a large number of Spaniards.

"Da Ming also thinks so, so our homeland is relatively safe, and the coastline is at most being harassed.

"If we break out of war with Ming again at the same time, Britain can return Gibraltar to Spain.

"But Spain must allow the British fleet to enter and exit the Mediterranean Sea and fight against the Ming Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea."

Pete's promise was surprising, but the terms of the promise were even more surprising.

The surrounding representatives all waited to look at Pete.

Spanish Prince Fernando asked directly:
"Has Britain decided to continue fighting against Ming?"

Pete nodded directly and sure enough:

"Yes."

Immediately there was a sound of surprise around.

Although the representatives of several countries who participated in the meeting already had some ideas in their hearts, they were not so decisive.

Pete stood up directly, looked around at the representatives of the Thai and Western countries, and said in a deep and dignified tone:

"Everyone, do you really believe in Daming?
"Do you think 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 does keep his promises, but he only keeps clear promises.

"Is it true that the rebels all over the Yinzhou colony formed spontaneously? Is it possible that they were supported by Daming?
"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 Da Ming let you concentrate on countering the rebellion?
"If the Mexican rebels surrender to Da Ming, do you think Da Ming will intervene?

"So don't have any illusions about Daming.

"I have seen through Daming's greed.

"Da Ming's needs and demands for colonies are endless.

"They will definitely not stop at Nan Yin Continent forever, the entire Northern Yin Continent is also Da Ming's goal.

"Besides, Ming is different from other countries in Europe. The colonies of Ming are not just raw material production areas and commodity markets.

"It's also a real 'land for colonization'.

"According to the data I know so far, there are currently 2000 million pure-blood Ming people, and 4000 million mixed-blood Ming people.

"The combined total of the two has exceeded 6000 million.

"Do you understand what this concept is?

"This shows that the Ming people are capable of directly ruling the entire world.

"Da Ming can turn all the colonies into the mainland of Da Ming.

"There is no doubt that Daming's goal is definitely not just the Southern Yinzhou he is currently claiming, and he will never allow Spain to keep Mexico forever.

"Da Ming's goal is the whole world.

"If we Europeans don't resist, our descendants will only be imprisoned in Europa itself.

"All other lands in the entire world will be occupied by Ming.

"At that time Europa will lose everything!
"By that time, the number of Ming people may exceed one billion, or even 15 billion.

"The more important thing is that we cannot guarantee that by that time, we will still be able to retain Europa itself.

"So Europa has no future!

"So we must resist, we must continue to fight against Daming.

"For ourselves, for our children and grandchildren, for the future of all of us Europas.

"So we must keep fighting!"

During the whole preaching process, Pete used his spontaneous and true emotions to actively guide the emotions of the audience.

Pete does a good job of rendering an atmosphere of desperation.

Under the threat of Ming Dynasty, the Europa people will be trapped in their homeland forever, losing all overseas resources and profits.

The future of Europa people will be dark.

In order to avoid this future without a future, the Europeans must keep fighting.

In the small room, the crowd was furious for a while.

"Yes, we must fight!"

"You can't give the whole world to Daming!"

"For the glory of our family!"

"For the future of our Europa people!"

However, amidst the commotion, some people calmly raised questions.

Prince José of Portugal spoke sadly:

"But we are powerless to fight anymore..."

Pete immediately picked up the rant 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 20 years to restore the order of our Europa and tap all the power of our Europa.

"After 20 years, fight to the death again with Daming.

"The worst outcome is to lose all colonies.

"And that is obviously the real goal of Da Ming, even if we don't fight, Da Ming will find a way to seize the colony.

"So the result couldn't have been worse!"

Prince Jose nodded silently, agreeing with Pete's statement.

Then Talleyrand of France spoke again:

"Are our four nations the only ones fighting against Ming?

"What about the Prussians, the Austrians, the Italians, and Lucia?
"If they fall to Da Ming's side and directly fight us on the continent of Europa, then Da Ming can sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Pete seems to have been prepared for a long time:
"If it can be pulled over, of course it will be pulled over.

"European landlocked countries without colonies, countries without colonies bordering Ming Dynasty, are naturally potential allies of Ming Dynasty.

"So in the subsequent development of the Mexican continent, we can give them a little humility and allow them to open up more colonies in the Mexican continent.

"We can keep pace and secretly force their development direction to move closer to the colonial border of Ming Dynasty.

"Let them have border friction, and make their colonies the target of Ming's next war.

"Then when it comes to the next war, they will only be on our side."

The representatives of several other countries nodded one after another, basically agreeing with Pete's statement.

At this moment, Manuel's secretary ran in and handed him a note.

Manuel was furious after seeing it:

"Da Ming is really going too far!"

The other representatives immediately looked at Manuel with suspicion.

Manuel passed the note down, and at the same time directly explained the content:

"Da Ming's Dashi Prince sent someone to send news that he missed some conditions during the meeting.

"If Spain wants to sign a 20-year peace treaty, it must hand over the Lesser Andres Islands.

"Outside of Ming's coastline, no islands controlled by other countries are allowed.

"He also said that these conditions are not negotiable, only accept or not, and let us leave directly if we don't accept."

Prince Fernando of Spain has already gritted his teeth and popped out four Chinese characters:

"Too deceiving!"

Everyone else thinks the same way.

Seeing this, Talleyrand comforted him and said:

"Patience, we must be patient now, continuing the war now is the worst situation for us.

"I suggest handing over these small islands, we must fight for these 20 years to prepare for future wars.

Pete also nodded:

"The most important thing is that Texas and Cuba are not handed over, otherwise Daming will control the coastline in the east of Beiyinzhou, and we will be very passive."

Fernando gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and nodded very stiffly.

Several other representatives also nodded with sad expressions.

The four colonial powers of Thailand and the West have completely unified their thinking and decided to start preparing for the war 20 years in advance.

The Shikoku then went on to discuss more details.

Talleyrand first explained his views on the existing colonies:
"The land handed over by Spain and Portugal was already full of rebels.

"After Da Ming took over these lands, his first task was to suppress the rebels in Nanyinzhou.

"If these rebels cannot be eradicated, then Daming will not be able to completely wipe out Southern Yinzhou.

"Our interests are opposite to those of Daming.

"When we control these lands, we have to suppress the rebels, and when we hand over the land, we have to support the rebels.

“Support can even start earlier when the land is handed over.

"Da Ming asked us to hand over the cities and strongholds we controlled, but our soldiers can take the initiative to 'defeat'.

"Give some land and cities directly to the rebels.

"When these cities and lands were handed over, it was also when we established contacts with the rebels.

"Based on Daming's attitude towards Taixi people, it is very difficult for those rebel leaders to gain status in Daming.

"And we can give them real nobility.

"Whether by any means, if the rebellion in those lands can last for 20 years, it will be very beneficial to our war."

The representatives of several other countries nodded their heads, and the Spaniards nodded with gritted teeth.

Pete then reminded another direction:
"Portugal should pay special attention. The land that Portugal can leave is our last fortress in Nanyinzhou and the stronghold for subsequent counterattacks.

"In the next 20 years, this piece of land must be built into a real, impregnable South Atlantic fortress.

"This kind of construction cannot be undertaken by Portugal itself, and the other three countries should also fully support it.

"Ordinary local people either withdraw, or become soldiers, or people who serve soldiers.

"In short, there is no one who is useless for war!"

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 complete analysis report and sent it to the kings behind.

The kings of Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal fell into a long silence after reading the report.

I asked you to go to peace talks, but you have started to prepare for future wars!
But after reading the analysis in the report carefully, the kings had to accept this reality.

After thinking about each other for a long time, the kings summoned the core royal family and ministers to carefully study the proposals of the representatives ahead.

At the same time, arrange communication personnel to exchange news with the kings of the other three countries at any time, and ask the representatives ahead for details at any time.

After five days of intense debate, several general strategies were finally formed.

First, accept the 20-year peace treaty and prepare for war 20 years later.

Second, the goal of the war 20 years later is to truly tie Daming and seize the entire Yinzhou continent.

Third, Portugal and Spain restored the Nanyinzhou colony, including the northern part of Nantianfu in Ming Dynasty, and the Antilles Islands were shared by Britain and Spain.

Fourth, Spain stopped its colony development in Northern Yinzhou, and all the land north of Texas was developed by Britain and France.

Fifth, use the undeveloped land of Mexico to win over Prussia, Italy, Austria, and Lucia.

The goal of Spain and Portugal is to restore the original colonies of Nanyinzhou, which have been developed for more than 200 years.

The goal of Britain and France is to expel the Ming forces from the central and northern parts of the Atlantic Ocean and ensure that this sea area belongs to the Taixi people.

According to their own assessment, these goals are not too high.

The land area involved is very vast, but after all, it is a colony, not a native land.

But they still have a misunderstanding. They think that Da Ming can put down his airs 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 formally notified Ming that they would accept the 20-year peace treaty.

And it will not withdraw from the anti-Ming alliance, nor will it not sign a peace treaty alone, but will wait for other countries to conclude negotiations and sign a peace treaty together.

Zhu Jingyuan and the officials of Daming were a little surprised, but they didn't take it too seriously.

As for the Dutchman, after obtaining the permanent peace conditions, he decided to sign a contract with Daming alone without much consideration.

The Dutch have already recognized their status, and they don't want to continue to get involved in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the Anti-Ming Alliance.

One's own power is useless, and if one is implicated by the defeat of a big country, the remaining overseas industries will also be lost.

On the second day after the four countries of Britain, France, Spain and Portugal gave their responses, on June 34, 23, Daming Taiping officially signed a contract with the Dutchman.

According to the usual practice, if a permanent peace treaty is signed, then withdraw from the anti-Ming alliance, and the Dutch will directly follow suit.

After signing the contract, the Dutch, like Lucia, continued to stay in the Western Cape, waiting for the final meeting between the League of Nations and the development of the Mexican colony.
