On December 11, 1690, light rain was heard in Nancun Port.

Army Major General Guo Handong threw half of the cigarette on the ground, then stomped it hard with his leather shoes. Then he proudly put the whole cluster of new military uniforms on the ground, waved his hand and said, "Set out!"

With his orders, more than a thousand infantry and cavalry officers and soldiers drawn from various units were arrogantly carrying rifles and sabers toward the distant city of Buenos Aires.

This temporary detachment consists of four infantry companies, two cavalry companies, one baggage company and one communication platoon, with a total of one thousand people, but they are all elite troops from each team, with high morale and full combat skills. They are not comparable to the bullshit Spanish "gentlemen" in Putrajaya. The gentleman group composed of pure white people also has more than 1,200 people in total, and it looks quite a lot. However, the East Coast people have never taken this kind of sloppy and low morale seriously, and can basically be defeated like a destruction.

Not to mention, these white Spanish "gentlemen" may not have any idea of ​​resistance. Their military pay has been generally owed for more than half a year. Many people help East Coast merchants transport goods to make a living, and their loyalty to Buenos Aires is limited. In this situation where the East Coast army is approaching, it would be good if they don't help rebel. It would be a dream to expect them to resist the East Coast army.

The East Coast detachment has been stationed in Nancun Port for some time. In name, it is to maintain the safety of the port terminal and the railway station. In fact, it is to enter the Pearl city of La Plata in Buenos Aires at any time. That is, once the East Coast reaches an agreement with the Spaniards, they will control the inside and outside of Putrajaya as quickly as possible and wait for domestic recipients to come and receive them.

Some people may say that Guo Handong is the Minister of the Army and is the only general-level officer in the army system. Is it a bit of a big deal to command more than 1,000 troops? It is obvious that a major is enough. But you have to consider that this is a major event that will occupy the enemy's famous city and leave a big mark in history books. How can a person like Guo Handong be replayed? So, now you see that he, a major general in the army, ran over from his hometown and started the work of a battalion commander, and there is no one else.

At this time, there was still a little rain in the sky. After the troops left Nancun Port, they turned on a road leading to Buenos Aires. This road was built by the Spanish, and the road surface was not hardened. After a few days of rain, it was severely damaged. It was very inconvenient for the East Coast officers and soldiers carrying rifles to walk on it. Some people even fell to the ground from time to time. The cavalry all got off their horses and walked forward one by one, which looked very difficult. However, you can see from the expressions on the faces of these East Coast officers and soldiers that they were in a very good mood at the moment and their morale was very high, as if they were witnessing history.

Of course, you are right to say this. Even ordinary people know a little about the importance of Buenos Aires. When talking about the first city of La Plata, the first thing that comes to mind is it. Therefore, everyone feels very honored to be able to send troops to this city. Before departure, the company commanders said that Putrajaya is the pearl of La Plata. In the future, the government will invest a lot of resources here and establish various modern facilities and factories. The population of the entire city may reach more than 200,000. It is a first-class city and is indeed "worth a visit."

Guo Handong was already dismounted and walked, while walking, while thinking about some thoughts. He thought of the order he received before departure from Ma Wenqiang, Chairman of the Executive Committee. In this order, Chairman Ma rarely said anything, and directly asked their troops who were on standby to march into Buenos Aires and take over the entire city as quickly as possible. Especially the key facilities such as Putrajaya, military camps, warehouses and other key facilities, which must be controlled as soon as possible. In addition, the officials in the city should also try to control them, especially the Spanish ambassadors and negotiation teams who have returned to Putrajaya to rest, and must be caught one by one. Later, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will bring the documents to exchange the contract, and let the Spaniards sign it on it, and then send them to Spain by the Clippers and hand them over to King Carlos for review and signature.

The Spaniards had to agree this time. Both the Commissioner Li Qing and Li, who were in charge of the negotiations, and Chairman Ma Wenqiang and Ma, had lost patience with them. Therefore, everyone agreed that the army immediately entered Buenos Aires and put some pressure on the Spaniards. At the same time, the first batch of grain used as land purchases will be shipped from Zhenhai Port and headed to Spain. This is to force the Spaniards to make decisions immediately, and basically do not give them the opportunity to continue to delay.

Guo Handong was also a member of the negotiating group. He was very disdainful of the weak and procrastinating Spaniards, thinking that they were not as capable as the Spanish negotiators in history. This may be related to the increasing neuroticism and elusiveness of their kings today. I heard that in the Madrid court, he saw that King Carlos was in poor health and insane spirit, and they began to find a way out. Some of them defected to Leopold in Vienna, while others were inclined to Louis XIV in Paris, which led to the fact that the Spanish aristocrats and officials had their own plans and the interests were very complicated.

Guo Handong suspected that the opinions of the Spanish delegation that had been negotiating with them were not unified at all, which led to the progress of the negotiations being too slow. However, now everything has passed! No matter how intrigues and procrastination are within you, I will break it with myself! There is no way, our east coast is so strong and so unreasonable. What can you do?

***************************************************

Just as Guo Handong led his troops to march towards Buenos Aires, a ship from Lisbon had just stopped outside the capital East Port in the north. Luis Almeida, who had been rushing back from the old road, dared not delay and directly took the signed renewal documents to the East Coast Ministry of Foreign Affairs with King Pedro II.

He left the East Coast and returned to Portugal at the beginning of this year. He took away the agreement documents signed by Marvin Qiang about the purchase of the Portuguese Cape Verde Islands, in two copies. After the agreement documents arrived in Lisbon, Pedro II signed the two agreements without hesitation, and then asked Luis Almeidama to bring one of them to the East Coast and handed them over to the East Coast people for preservation. The efficiency was much more efficient than the Spanish who were dragging it out.

After selling half of the archipelago, the Portuguese lost an important halfway supply point from Lisbon to Angola. Although the East Coast people promised to open the Portuguese forever, it was a port for others, and it was inconvenient to use it, so they had to find another place to settle down. They were interested in Sao Tome Island, which was once colonized by themselves for a long time. This island was captured by the French fleet two years ago. Now that the Portuguese want to retake it, they naturally have to obtain the understanding and support of the East Coast people. It would be great if the combined fleet of the Portuguese and Kuala Lumpur on the coast of the southwest Africa for a long time could provide some support.

In addition, Pedro II was also very interested in the expansion of both sides in northwestern India. He expressed his willingness to spend a huge amount of funds to re-arm the fleet in Goa, and at the same time sent a 1,000 army troops from Europe to India to strengthen his strength there. In history, the Portuguese sent 1,500 troops from Lisbon to rescue only when the Port of Mombasa, the colonial city of East Africa was in crisis. This time, it was indeed very powerful.
