Chapter 357

Major general Carlos disdains chief Omala's request, but he has to admit that the Indian chief's request is just a breakthrough for the Spanish military.

At this time, the whole European continent is in a very strange state. Even Spain, the most powerful country at present, does not dare to stir up the sensitive nerves of all countries.

The British and the French have just finished a war in which the human brain turns into the dog brain. Although the British won, everyone knows that the British also won miserably. As the loser, the French are not as introspective as they think. They are constantly making small moves in the New World colonies of North America, in East India and in Africa.

The Prussians, the Dutch, the Portuguese and the Belgians are all eyeing each other. They wish the two countries could fight again, so that they have a better chance to reach into the new world

As the most powerful country in Europe, Spain does not dare to act rashly. The richness of the new continent has long made other countries in Europe envious. Spain has occupied central and South America alone and plundered huge profits from that vast continent every year. Who can be envious?

But now no one dares to challenge Spain's military power in the Atlantic Ocean. It will take half a century for the Trafalgar naval battle to take place, which will change the whole European pattern and even the world pattern. It will take another half century for Britain to replace Spain as the most powerful country in the world.

In this era, a strong Spanish Navy is the fundamental guarantee for Spain to occupy central and South America alone.

Spain also knows that the European countries are now jealous of their monopolization of central and South America, so Spain has not extended its tentacles into the new continent of North America. Well, in other words, they did not dare to openly expand their influence to this vast and rich continent, because the Spaniards knew very well that once they did so, other European countries would unite against them.

The Spaniards are arrogant, but they are not so arrogant that they dare to fight against all the countries in Europe.

So, of course, the Spaniards want to expand their sphere of influence in the new continent of North America, but they don't want to offend other European countries too much.

So, this is a very sensitive time.

As a rear admiral of the Royal Navy, Carlos is naturally aware of the current situation.

But he himself also has an important responsibility, that is, to expand Spain's sphere of influence from the Gulf coast to the northern part of the new continent of North America as far as possible without irritating other European countries.

But it's not so easy to finish it. The Mississippi River Basin is controlled by the French. Although the defeated French ceded this large area to the British after the seven-year war, the French living there will not easily hand over such a large area to the British. The colonists of the two countries will inevitably have a long-term contest around the two sides of the river.

Of course, this kind of contest is only limited to the colonists, and the forces of the two countries will not intervene.

The French are very cunning, they know it is difficult to resist the British, so they are willing to secretly transfer New Orleans to the Spanish, in an attempt to resist the British through the power of the Spanish.

Spaniards are not idiots. They naturally understand what the French think, so even now, the governor of New Orleans, who belongs to the Spaniards, has not taken office.

But it won't be long!

Major general Carlos knew that the governor of New Orleans would soon take office, and that the area at the mouth of the Miho river would soon belong to Spain.

However, New Orleans alone is obviously hard to support. Therefore, they asked themselves to open another gap from the East, that is, Florida, to form a solid base, so that they could echo with New Orleans in the West and completely determine the Spanish sphere of influence in the new continent of North America.

But it's not so easy to open a gap north of Florida.

Originally, north of Florida was the colony directly under the British king of the shameless George II. George II, who had just died for a few years, was shameless enough to name the colony Georgia after him.

In other words, the area north of Florida is already the territory of the British. Except for the local aborigines, it is difficult for foreign forces to enter the colony named Georgia.

After all, Spain's force is here. Strong Spain is not as cowardly as the French. Strong Spain can't be resisted by the British.

But the problem is that if we really invade the British colonies in such a big way, it will certainly lead to the resistance of other European countries, and even those countries will unite to fight against the great Spain.

This is not something major general Carlos would like to see.

So he's been waiting, waiting for an appropriate opportunity, waiting for an opportunity that other countries can't refute to get into the north.

Now, the chance is coming.

If the local natives ask for Spanish support, then even the Brits have nothing to say. After all, although Georgia is a British sphere of influence, it is also the residence of the local aborigines.

In particular, there is a strong aboriginal tribe, a Kerry with hundreds of thousands of people. This aboriginal tribe alone is enough to make the colonists, including the British, dare not act rashly, and the Spanish dare not easily offend this powerful tribe.

But now, this powerful tribe has been defeated by the aboriginal tribe farther north, and the siminos who separated from that powerful tribe have invited themselves to help their mother. This is a wonderful opportunity.

Major general Carlos, of course, knows what chief omara's bullshit means about "if there are some disobedient people in my mother clan, I hope they can disappear too." this ambitious chief obviously has other ideas as well.

The saiminoans don't want to save their mother race, they are coveting the rich land and large population of the Crees! They want to replace the dominant position of the mother nationality in this area and become the new overlord in this area!

No matter how high sounding the chief of the semino said, major general Carlos could see clearly what this guy was thinking.

However, this is indeed a good opportunity. If we can take this opportunity to extend our tentacles into the land controlled by the British, even the British can't say anything else!

Especially when we "help" the local aborigines and fight against the powerful tribe in the north, whether it's the British side or the French side, it's a better explanation - I'm helping the hard-working and kind-hearted siminos to get revenge

Well, as for the Cherokee, although they defeated the Kerry, can the Cherokee resist in front of the Spanish artillery and muskets?

No, Definitely not!

Major general Carlos thinks so
