Chapter 952 You step on two boats

Behind the governor, a black shadow in a top hat pushed the monoparticle glasses. The monolit glasses flashed with a cold light, and the deep shadow was like the darkest dark cloud, covering the whole port town...

The Spanish colony in South America is separated from the Spanish mainland of the European continent, across the vast Atlantic Ocean. In fact, the royal rule over these colonies is still very weak. Therefore, these governors naturally have great power in these ends of the earth. Unless they go too far, there will be a sanctions fleet representing the royal family.

However, because the industrial base of these colonies is quite weak, it is also unrealistic for these governors to obtain a strong military force that can compete with the invincible fleet. Because most of the Spaniards who colonized in such remote areas are farmers, operating sugar cane farms and tobacco farms, or engaged in animal husbandry, and some are small handicraftsmen. It is difficult for these people to build an industrial foundation in a short period of time. Therefore, this fragile rule and affiliation can also maintain a balance for a certain period of time.

Therefore, it is so convenient for these governors to do something locally. Therefore, the living dead governor, who was controlled by the book demon, and the residents here, began another life. The local indigenous people, led by their chief priests, surrendered to the book demons. In fact, for these indigenous people, Zhang Fan's team did so to liberate them.

These Spanish talents are invaders, colonists and predators!

Captain Baca doesn't know why Zhang Fan's team controls this small and inconspicuous area in the middle of the new continent. Because most Europeans still don't know that the Panama region of Central America is a isthmus, and there are vast oceans on both sides of the isthra, not a saltwater lake. How important this narrow Panamanian isthmus will be geographically important in future generations!

However, Zhang Fan also doesn't quite understand why Aken and the book demon must occupy the Isthmus of Panama, because the team's mission and future scenes have nothing to do with it. And the Panama Canal has not been built yet. But in the next team meeting, he quickly understood Achan's ambition and his little patriotism.

"I want to criticize you!" Aken said to Zhang Fan and the book demon, "You solved such a big problem for the Ming court, but you didn't get any benefits, so you rushed back!" This is too bad! But I have to admit that you did a great job this time! Even if I go, I may not be better than you!"

"Let's get to the point, what are the benefits of us occupying the Isthmus of Panama?" Zhang Fan waved his hand and asked, "Do you want us to build the Panama Canal?"

"This proposal can also be considered, but the most important thing now is not this one." Aken smiled cunningly, "Do you think it is possible to occupy the New World with our ability and strength, or at least leave traces in the future history of the New World?"

Zhang Fan and the book demon looked at each other and nodded, "This is obvious. As long as we maintain close contact with the British royal family. Once we get the assistance of the British royal family and our understanding of history, no matter what we do, it will affect the historical progress of the Caribbean and even the whole New World!"

Aken nodded, "I just don't think it's enough. The support of the British royal family... Hey hey, of course it's good. However, with our identity and influence in China, coupled with your solution to the Southeast Sea disaster for the Ming court this time, can these achievements affect the view of the Ming court on us, thus changing the context of the development of world history and the balance of power in the Caribbean?

"You mean..." Zhang Fan was surprised. He understood what Aken meant, but it was a big game of chess.

"Do you want to step on two boats?" Green Wing suddenly said, which made Zhang Fan's book demon Aken look a little new.

Aken snapped his fingers, "Bingo! That's right! If we rely on the British royal family alone, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to fight against the Spaniards in the near future. England is far from as powerful as the sunless empire. Although the Chinese Empire has begun to decline, the thin camel is bigger than the horse. If we can get the support of the Ming Empire, I'm afraid it will not be difficult to achieve our ideal of dominating the Caribbean and even the whole New World! And it can also let China participate in the era of geographical discovery in history and change the historical pattern from then on!"

"But the current European technology is more advanced than that of the Ming Empire. Even if the Ming Empire sends a fleet thousands of miles away, I'm afraid it will not be defeated by the Spanish invincible fleet and is not the opponent of the Spanish!" Zhang Fan said worriedly.

Aken laughed and said, "Hahaha, now is the eve of the Great Industrial Revolution, and Europe has not invented the steam engine yet!" Even if there is a gap in technology now, it is not very big. It is mainly reflected in the construction of long-distance ships. There are also musket and artillery technology. Although the Ming Empire is a little far away, it is not far away! Besides, we still have a book demon..." Aken patted the book demon on the shoulder.

"If we teach the Ming Empire more advanced navigation skills and artillery technology, which one do you think is stronger, China's production capacity or Spain's production capacity?"

Zhang Fan nodded, "Of course, it is the Ming Empire. After all, China is vast and has a large population. If China can realize, its productivity is unmatched even if the whole of Europe is full of power! It's just..." Zhang Fan frowned. The reason for the weakness of mainland China is that it does not pay attention to the development of science and technology, close the country, and impose a sea ban. This is a historical crux, which can't be changed by a few words of your own team.

Aken understood Zhang Fan's worry and clapped his hands and said, "What is our mission to enter this world? What is the reward of the scene for? Isn't it just to encourage us to change history? Maybe it's very difficult for us to do, but should we back down?! What's more, even if we can't let China rise, at least let the Ming Empire see that history is moving forward. As long as the Ming Empire can send a fleet and set foot on the New World, we will succeed and let this fleet take root and germinate on the American continent from now on, then there will be no Western powers against China in future generations. A hundred years of humiliation! Maybe it's not easy, but we still have to do it!"

Zhang Fan suddenly raised his head and clenched his fist, "Aken is right! Even if we can't wake up China, at least let him see the threat coming and history moving forward! That's the decision. We put our energies into developing the Panama region so that the fleet of the Ming Empire can have a place to settle in the future. It's also easier to enter the Caribbean!"
