Chapter 1617 Helpless Compromise

Zeng Yunfeng is currently not clear about the dark belly of the British King George II, but he will not be unwarranted.

Whether it's the UK, Germany, or Spain, there may be countless dogs behind the scenes in these countries, and Zeng Yunfeng can't sort them out one by one, and even be on guard against them.

But judging from the current situation, this Spanish war will end sooner or later.

As for the letter written by the King of England to the King of Spain, it was thrown into the trash can by King Ferdinand VI of Spain.

He knew too well what King George of England wanted to do, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to weaken their national power.

King Ferdinand VI of Spain is no longer fighting a frontal war with the White Iron Pirates. Now he can't even get enough people to fight, and the country's funds are even tighter.

Because of the continuous war with the White Iron Pirates, a large amount of gold and silver from South America that should have been sent to Madrid, Spain has not yet arrived.

How could Ferdinand VI still have the money to organize an army? The Spanish royal family, which used to be extravagant, now seems rich, but in fact the inner treasury is empty.

Those nobles are also unwilling to donate money to fight, especially when fighting with a bunch of mud legs. In the eyes of these nobles, pirates are a group of mud legs, and they will fight to the death with them. For noble nobles like them In other words, there is no doubt that there is no meaning.

Ferdinand VI was actually very distressed about this situation.

On the one hand, he needs the nobles to support him so that he can stabilize the political situation in the country. On the other hand, these nobles are like leeches lying on his body to suck blood, sucking the blood of Spain from his body all the time. Leave.

When these leeches became more and more numerous, they almost drained the main arteries of Spain.

In the eyes of Ferdinand VI, Spain is like a dying patient who may have big problems at any time.

But some things are always out of the control of those who want them, and King Ferdinand VI of Spain doesn't know why.

He had just ascended the throne, and he was about to face such a choice, which was not what he wanted.

But the current situation is like this, he can't refuse, and he can't refuse.

On the other hand, Zeng Yunfeng basically did not make any changes to the manor left by the former governor of Bogotá, directly.Just use it.

The Spanish princess Maria didn't feel uncomfortable at all, as if all this was as it should be, and as if this was her own home.

After a period of contact, he found that Roy Smith was definitely not a vicious person, at least he would not easily hurt himself.

Even though the White Iron Pirates and the Spanish army are now fighting fiercely, of course, Maria knows in her heart that the real situation is that these Spanish colonial troops were driven all over the mountains like rabbits, from north to south all the way to Bui. North Aires, they have nowhere else to go.

The sea and land are controlled, and the fleet is defeated. This is the current situation facing Spain.

The reason why they hurriedly came to Royer Smith for peace talks was to liberate Spain's power in South America and allow them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Rather than the current situation, this has almost suffocated King Ferdinand VI of Spain.

Most of the reasons for all this are related to the Spaniards themselves. Their stalls are too large. They rely on their small population in the country, but they rule a large area, and even carried out large-scale massacres.

Spain's ambitions have been released, but what cannot be settled on the other side is Spain's ever-expanding vanity.

They can no longer see the whole world in their eyes, and they think that the whole world revolves around them.

The arrogance of the Spanish royal family has finally ushered in decline. After being defeated again and again at sea, it was once again defeated by pirates. This is absolutely intolerable to the Spanish royal family, and even Princess Maria also finds it incredible.

How could the once powerful Spanish dynasty not be able to defeat even a pirate group?The war was almost one-sided.

As the military situation became more and more urgent, in the palace of the Spanish royal family in Madrid, Ferdinand VI was so anxious that his mouth was blistering, looking at the news that came back, he was very worried.

The White Iron Pirates refused the peace talks and slandered them for attacking Venezuela with the Portuguese. After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked at his minister, "What do you think should be done?"

A minister immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think we need to show our sincerity."

"Our sincerity?" Ferdinand VI frowned.

"Yes, show sincerity."

"What sincerity can we show!"

The minister replied: "We need to arrange the marriage of Princess Maria to Roy Smith as soon as possible."

Every time he heard this, Ferdinand VI felt a fire burning from his chest.

"You mean we want to finalize the marriage before the peace talks. Do you mean that I send my sister to him in person and let him ruin it?"

All the ministers lowered their heads and looked at their toes, unwilling to answer this embarrassing topic.

"Speak up!" Ferdinand VI swept towards the ministers.

"Your Majesty, we are safe now. At the very least, the mainland of Spain has not been attacked by the White Iron Pirates, but" the minister said, took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Ferdinand VI.

Ferdinand VI looked at the minister with puzzled eyes, and the minister immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is the latest news. Both Matila and the Azor Islands have been breached by the White Iron Pirates. The Portuguese They were so shocked, they didn't even know what happened."

"Here is another letter from the King of Portugal, your father-in-law, to us. Asking if we were impersonating them and attacking Venezuela, which drew the wrath of the White Iron Pirates. The tone here is not the same. not good."

King Ferdinand VI quickly opened the letters, read one and then the other, and sat down dejectedly.

"It's really despicable, to slander us in the name of Portugal, and at the same time go back to Portugal in our name, but both of us know what's going on, but we can only admit it by pinching our noses."

The Minister of Finance of the Spanish royal family said at this time: "Your Majesty, the most important thing at present is the financial issue. Only after this breath is relieved can we accumulate strength for the future."

"If this trip to Buenos Aires is all lost, then our overseas bases will basically suffer a major blow."

"The land in North America is too far away, and it is almost impossible to come back. Once we lose Buenos Aires and we cannot pass through the southernmost strait, then everything will become a disaster. Once the White Iron Pirates control South America the mouth of the strait at the top, then everything would be really bad."
