"The seeds of invasion that were nurtured in the First La Plata War broke out in the Second War that broke out in 1646 and began to take root and sprout. This war monster on the east coast began to devour people." In the city of San Vicente, the author of this letter is Mr. Simenez, a former Spanish teacher. He has graduated from the Secondary School of the East Coast Capital Normal University, and is currently teaching in a primary school in Qingdao Port, specializing in teaching simple arithmetic knowledge. At the same time, he occasionally teaches Spanish classes to the soldiers of the Second Fort of the Corps.

However, during the years he settled on the East Coast, Mr. Siménez obviously did not stay idle, and he did not forget the responsibility of a Catholic, so he wrote such a letter to his friend, Blanco, of the Almeida family from Brazil. The letter was very long, and its content was mainly about the various first-hand information about the East Coast Republic obtained by Siménez through his observation and thinking in the East Coast, which was of great value.

"Since the victory of the last war, this country has embarked on the road of rapid expansion. It has been able to send a large number of troops to win a continental war that lasted for more than two years; at the same time, it can also send professional naval warships to win offshore Spain, which has made the entire Old Continent world admire them. Today, when major powers re-divided Europe and the New Continental spheres of influence, as an emerging force, appearing on the east coast of the world stage, it is showing its increasingly undisguised expansion attempt. All aspects of this country and all systems seem to be designed for war and expansion. The mobilization efficiency is far beyond that of ordinary countries. This time it is La Plata. Where is next time? Brazil or Chile?"

There is a lot of content behind Simenez's letter. Most of them analyze the details of various aspects of the East Coast country, but Blanco has no intention of reading it for the time being. Some sugar tycoons in the north have complained about the East Coast's vigorous aid to the Netherlands West India Company (through trade form), because this obviously hindered their efforts to defeat the Dutch and unify the entire Brazil, which often concerns whether they can unify the entire sugar market to obtain excess profits brought by monopoly.

As the saying goes, cutting off money is like killing parents. Although the Portuguese do not have this proverb, they still understand the general meaning. They are now angry at the increasingly close business ties between the East Coast and the Dutch West India Company, but they dare not express their dissatisfaction with excessively intense means. Crossing the Geral Mountains to kill some East Coast residents to vent their anger? Don't joke. Their army forces will definitely see all this happening in ecstasy, because then they have reason to break free from the chains put on them and suddenly hurt people. Although it is embarrassing, it has to be said that if the two sides fight head-on, the Brazilian army will be defeated by the East Coast people in a short time.

However, nothing is not in line with the style of Brazilian sugar giants. They quickly contacted the Spaniards who were sympathetic. The two sides no longer struggled with the border between the two countries' colonies, because a obviously more vicious opponent jumped onto their dining table, ate the delicious meal they were originally enjoying, and also stared at the delicacies on the table that had not been activated.

The Spaniards plan to train four infantry regiments in La Plata - a gentleman regiment (mainly whites), a Mestiso regiment (mainly whites), two Crandy regiments - and a Gaucho Cavalry Battalion. If such an army construction plan is really implemented, then the comparison of war power between the two sides in the La Plata region will be greatly improved.

The Spanish launched such a fierce immigration and military expansion plan, so the Portuguese could not take it lightly. In 1649, the Portuguese aristocrats, sugar giants in northeastern Brazil and emerging planters in the south jointly contributed their efforts and began to immigrate from the Old Continent to Brazil, and at the same time formed an army unit to resist the increasingly aggressive threats of the East Coast people.

The Portuguese's actions shocked the West Indian Company. After investigation, they were forced to migrate a large number of "Boers" from the Netherlands and the neighboring German areas to consolidate the territory they had occupied. At the same time, they were actively preparing to expand their military forces to deal with the sudden irrational increase in troops by the Brazilians. However, their financial strength was extremely limited, and after a while, they could not do it. In the end, they could only send people to the Oriental Port to seek broader and more in-depth cooperation with the East Coast people to offset the pressure exerted by the Brazilians. After all, they were not as good as those rich Portuguese men than money.

The people on the east coast were naturally very happy about the olive branch extended by the Dutch West India Company, because they recently approved the large-scale smuggling trade along the Pacific coast, so they felt guilty for the Dutch West India Company, which has certain interests here. They are currently hesitating and wondering how to appease the Dutch people's emotions. Unexpectedly, they asked for a visit at this time.

The matter is easy now, and both sides can fully coordinate their interests. In this way, the Nan Railway Company, which organized smuggling trade on behalf of the East Coast Republic of China, quickly held several rounds of consultations with the Dutch West India Company at the East Port, and the two sides adjusted their interests. The Dutch recognized the proposal of the East Coast people to do a good job in the East Coast commodity agent, and at the same time agreed to the dumping trade carried out by the Nan Railway Company to the Peru Governor's District, as long as possible, the East Coast people increased all-round assistance to them (including diplomatic and arms supplies) so that they could try their best to keep some of the remaining territory in northeastern Brazil.

The division of interests between the two sides was completely completed in the past two months, which was extremely fast and efficient. However, the Portuguese were not bad, and they reached a cooperation agreement with the Spaniards earlier. At this point, two confrontational groups have formed on the South American continent, namely: the Alliance of Colonial States formed by Portugal and the Kingdom of Spain, and it is also the Catholic Union; the other group is the East Coast Republic of China, whose military expenditure accounts for more than 50% of the national finance (the proportion after disarmament), and the Dutch West India Company, which is passively involved in the struggle. Of course, if you count the East Coast Protection Country, the Kingdom of Araucania, which has not yet been officially established, is fine.

At present, these five major forces control the politics, economy and military of the entire Peru Governor's Governor. More than 10 million creatures living on this land are bowing down under the rule of these two groups, driven by their will, and fighting for their interests. Of course, now, these two groups are only a faint confrontation and have not yet escalated to a comprehensive military and political confrontation. At least there are still frequent trade exchanges between these two groups.

In Blanco's view, the future policy direction of Portugal and Spain can be guessed, mainly conservative. The Dutch West India Company is also declining, and the only thing to worry about is the East Coast Republic. Once this country takes any strong and radical measures, it means that the existing fragile balance will be completely broken, and the confrontation between the two major groups will officially come to the forefront from the table. If this continues, a full-scale war will break out in a short period of time will be a high probability event.

The Almeida family, where Blanco is located, is an emerging planter in southern Brazil (mainly planting cotton, tobacco and grains, and also designed to mining), and is also a major agent of East Coast commodity in Brazil. They are the least willing to see a hot war between the two major military, political and economic groups - although the war between the Dutch West India Company and Brazil has been going on intermittently. However, as a native white elite family of Brazil, they are also facing East Coast pagans.

He was extremely vigilant about every step of territorial expansion, especially after they had made sovereignty claims against the Geral Mountains. He was afraid that his plantation would be taken away by the East Coast Republic, and he was even more afraid that his family's decades of struggle in Brazil would be destroyed. Because of this, business was business, and the Almeida family was still very vigilant about the East Coast people in politics, which can be seen from the fact that their family had been trying to send spies to the East Coast infiltration.

"The people of the East Coast are very talented in a business they call "science and technology". They widely use various science and technology, so they have created a commodity production capacity that is far from commodities that are far from commodities and population. If you read my letter carefully, please turn to the last page. I drew a sketch of a device called "steam engine" on the East Coast. I have to say that this is an epoch-making invention. I have a deep sense of it that it can greatly change our production and lifestyle. I have gradually felt this on the East Coast. The sketch of the steam engine is designed based on the words I collected in daily life.

In fact, I have never seen a steam engine with my own eyes, but I believe it works like this. It is a huge and extremely exquisite machine. I don’t know if anyone can perfectly copy this machine in Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, London or Amsterdam, but I think it is better to try it out than to do nothing. If you have a little awe of God, please bring this picture to the world of God and fund them so that the people of the Lord can also create a perfect steam engine that is comparable to the pagans in the East Coast…” Blancoze carefully looked at each page and sat at his desk.

After a long time, he grabbed a quill pen in his hand, dipped it in ink and wrote the letter. After writing, he held the letter for a moment and sent it a moment of silence, and then stuffed the letter with the steam engine drawing into an envelope. After doing all this, he called his housekeeper and asked him to take the letter to Lisbon properly. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
