Baron Raul Bravo entered the slightly broken Port of Santa Fe, which is still under the control of the East Coast Army. Their supreme commander, Major Jiang Zhiqing, is no longer here. It is said that this cruel and cunning man has rushed back to the East Coast to receive the award of the superior. At present, an officer named Anda Fifteen took over here. He brought some of the East Coast regular army and a thousand militia (East County Militia Brigade) to maintain order here, and also transport supplies. In the eyes of Baron Bravo, these supplies are the property of the Kingdom of Spain, and the people of the East Coast shamelessly possessed them.

No matter how I think about it, but as a increasingly qualified diplomat, Baron Bravo understands that he can never say this. In fact, it has no effect on saying it. Apart from embarrassing both sides, he does not think that those vulgar pagan soldiers would return these property to the Spanish. He never thinks that the Kingdom of Spain can effectively restrain these foreign officers and soldiers who are still stranded on the territory of the Kingdom of Spain. Alas, it is really a shameful country. He actually wants to use troops from invaders like the East Coast to wipe out the Crandi rebellion. Is this still the proud Kingdom of Spain? Whenever I think of this, Baron Bravo can't help but feel sad.

"Sir, the quarantine period has ended, and the East Coast people have released them." Baron Bravo's cousin, Baron Salvador Angel Bravo's housekeeper from Lima, walked up to Raul and whispered.

When Baron Bravo heard this, he looked into a wooden fence in a corner of the city, and saw a large group of white men and women wearing various costumes walking out. Many of them were forced to shaved their hair. After 15 days of quarantine, their eyes were confused and they didn't know where to go.

The East Coast people are now extremely careful about diseases. Therefore, even though these men and women are people of the Kingdom of Spain and the Port of Santa Fe is also the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, they still force these poor people who came across the ocean from the Old Continent to undergo sanitary quarantine, and the Spanish naturally dare not have any objections.

These people were a group of immigrants brought from Europe by the Spanish government to enrich the territory of the Kingdom of Spain in La Plata. The Spanish understood at this time that without enough population, they could not resist the gradual encroachment of the East Coast people. They needed people to produce food, build cities and forts, and fight for them. Therefore, since the failed immigration many years ago, they have overcome difficulties again and started a new wave of immigration to La Plata.

What is different from before is that this time the selection of immigration is quite qualified. First, these people must be believers of the devout Lord verified by religious trials; second, these people must be proletarians or property owners with difficult lives, so that they will fight against the invaders to protect their property. Of course, this first requires the Spanish government to reform the land rights in La Plata and give legal property to these new immigrants. Like the past situation where a bunch of proletarians crowded in Buenos Aires to work for the farmers and ranchers, this time, it will not happen again, because the facts prove that in front of the enemy, these people with similar status as serfs have no fighting spirit.

In this war with the East Coast people, the Spanish's foundation in La Plata was really greatly shaken. First of all, the unstoppable East Coast troops, they used their superior forces and superior artillery fire in Buenos Aires, Santa Fe and other places to know why the flowers were so red. A large amount of livestock, money, food, wood, leather and other property were taken away by the East Coast people through organized and efficient looting, which led to the lack of a large amount of start-up capital when the Spaniards redeveloped.

Secondly, the Crandy Rebels who were rising from the local area almost ravaged the entire La Plata for two years. During these two years, a large number of white immigrants from Bohemia, Naples and Hungary were killed (a considerable number of them were also taken away by the East Coast people through various means). In short, the number of Spanish residents at the peak of the La Plata region (there were less than 3,000 white residents in La Plata at this time) has now dropped sharply to less than 5,000, and most of them have fled to Paraguay, Cuyo and Tucuman provinces.

Such a few people are obviously not enough to compete with the East Coast people! Although Baron Raul Bravo did not know the precise population of the East Coast Republic of China at this time, he had probably estimated that he had lived on the East Coast for a long time, that is, he believed that the population of the East Coast Kingdom might be less than 200,000 at this time. What's more, this is a terrible pagan country where all the people are soldiers. They have no respect for the omnipotent Lord. They train well and their training frequency is even more diligent than the most elite legions in the kingdom. When they attack, they will use mechanical and rigid actions to knock all the enemies standing in front of them into scum.

Therefore, in the face of such a powerful country and opponent, if the Spaniards want to preserve the vast La Plata region, then they will only immigrate and then immigrate. They will use the rare peace time to pile up the population of La Plata first, then build forts and train militias, so as to not be completely powerless when the East Coast people invade again. After all, no matter how idiotic a person is, he already understands that the East Coast people will never be able to fill their appetites, and they will definitely not be able to do so.

They will not be satisfied with the territory east of the Uruguay River. They have ulterior motives for Patagonia, La Plata Plain, Paraguay and even Chile. The so-called peace agreement signed between the two countries now seems to be nothing more than a truce agreement in the eyes of many Spaniards. The war between the two sides will restart sooner or later. Unless the Spaniards make major concessions in terms of territory, war will be almost inevitable in the near future.

"The cost of this immigration is shared by the Governor General of Peru, the Governor General of New Spain and the local area. The immigration mainly comes from Italy, which has a difficult life and overpopulation, and the unravelled areas in Austria." Gilberto looked at the immigrants who were climbing a carriage and moving west under the command of Spanish officials, and said: "The Rodriguez family of La Plata's big businessman has returned from Chile. They donated 200,000 pesos to the new General of La Plata Valdez. As the immigration costs, General Valdez and Governor Gutierrez appreciate this, hoping that more merchants will come forward and donate enthusiastically to alleviate the financial difficulties of government immigration."

"But I heard that the cunning old man secretly sent his son to contact the East Coast people and put the bonds of the South Railway Company worth 240,000 pesos in the East Coast Qingdao financial market. Hell, I don't even know what the company does." Baron Raul Bravo said hatefully, "I even heard that he was going to persuade some people to join forces to invest in the East Coast South Coast equity, and it seems that he was determined to bet on both ends."

"It is impossible for them to be with the East Coast people." Gilberto said carefully. "Their family has a vast farm and ranch in La Plata. The East Coast people do not allow such large real estate developers in their country, which will destroy their foundations. The reason why the Rodriguez family did this was simply to continue doing business with the East Coast people, who were profit-oriented merchants. However, my honorable Baron, I have to say that it is not a bad thing to trade with the East Coast people to rebuild La Plata in this difficult time, because it can greatly reduce our costs. It is not a good idea to transport the materials that have settled from the distant old continent."

"And..." Baron Bravo continued to add, "Although His Majesty the King was determined to immigrate to La Plata, I really doubt how long his enthusiasm would last. We are still fighting the French people in life and death, and the money consumed every day is almost impossible to count. I really doubt how much this pitiful expense raised by the West Indian Affairs Department can support immigration, ten thousand? twenty thousand? I can't be sure, but everything is terrible."

Therefore, in the face of such a powerful country and opponent, if the Spaniards want to preserve the vast La Plata region, then they will only immigrate and then immigrate. They will use the rare peace time to pile up the population of La Plata first, then build forts and train militias, so as to not be completely powerless when the East Coast people invade again.

It is not a good idea to transport the materials that have settled from the distant old continent."

"There are also all kinds of machinery needed to develop factories and workshops." Baron Bravo added quietly, "We want to build mills, wineries, dried fruit factories, cheese factories and other living facilities in Tucuman, which require people from the East Coast to come. God, although importing machinery from them will indeed save a lot of money, it will really make me very unhappy because it means that these yellow-skinned pagans have become more and more advantageous to us, and this perception has made me very upset."

"And..." Baron Bravo continued to add, "Although His Majesty the King was determined to immigrate to La Plata, I really doubt how long his enthusiasm would last. We are still fighting the French people in life and death, and the money consumed every day is almost impossible to count. I really doubt how much this pitiful expense raised by the West Indian Affairs Department can support immigration, ten thousand? twenty thousand? I can't be sure, but everything is terrible."

Baron Bravo's words silenced everyone. Yes, the power of the Kingdom of Spain in La Plata is really too weak, and the opponent of the East Coast is too strong. They don't know how long the peace between the two sides can last. Perhaps when the next war begins, the advantages of the East Coast, a country with increasingly fast development speed, will become greater and greater.
