Chapter 910： Morocco is a pit

Marin was actually very reluctant to give the Spice Islands to Spain. After all, the Spice Islands were the cornerstone of the subsequent rise of the Dutch Empire. The Dutch's later colonial empire, in fact, the most important cornerstones were Spice Islands and Java.

The Spice Islands provided important profits for the early Dutch Empire, while Java Island provided a lot of food for the Dutch colonial empire. Later, cash crops such as sugar and rubber were provided. Without the success of colonizing the Spice Islands, the early Dutch Empire may not have risen so fast.

Therefore, Marin is actually very reluctant to send the Spice Islands to Spain in this way. However, no matter how he refused, he had no choice. After all, now Marin can't eat Spice Islands. Because of his weak strength, he can only adopt the mode of making big money with a muffled voice. If you dare to be high-profile, be robbed every minute.

Marin began to envy Juan III a little bit. They were of the same age, but their backgrounds were very different. When Marin passed by, he was still a wandering knight who was kicked out of his house and almost starved to death. As for Juan, their parents are kings, and the sons of the twin kings are the arrogant sons of heaven. Once born, he was destined to inherit the large kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. Of course, the premise is that he will not die.

As the most legitimate heir of the two great powers, Juan III was born to become king. Moreover, the two countries he wants to inherit are particularly powerful.

If Marin traveled to Juan III, it would be terrible, and he could directly open Wushuang to occupy the world. However, Marin passed through Marin, just a poor knight. He can earn all his business today, which is a miracle to outsiders. But if you want to open Wushuang, it's still early. At least, Marin's current strength is not enough to compete with Portugal and Spain for hegemony.

Therefore, Malin knew that the Spice Islands were profitable, and he still had to bear the pain to send the Spice Islands out just to divert the attention of the Spaniards.

Of course, if it is good intention to send the Spice Islands, then it is not so good to encourage Spain to send troops to fight Morocco.

It is true that, with the Spanish Great phalanx taught by Marin, as well as famous generals like Gonzalo, Spain can't worry about attacking Morocco.

However, after the capture of Morocco, it was the beginning of the Spanish drop ...

What country is Morocco? God teaches the country! That is for the purpose of believing in lifelessness!

Perhaps, in the era of hot weapons, the fanatical beliefs of God were useless. However, in an age when the scimitar cavalry is still fierce, God's followers are not easy to mess with.

What's more, Spain's purpose is not only to occupy Morocco, but also to transform local people into Christians. This is not enough. Do you let God's followers give up their faith? People are not afraid of death, are you afraid of forcing him to change their faith?

Therefore, even if they can capture Morocco in the early stage, the Spaniard will appreciate the enthusiasm and fearlessness of the God in the later period when they are converted

In the age of science, people dare to die together with others. In an age where science has not yet emerged, religious fanaticism is more common. Not to mention God's teaching, even Christians in this era have many enthusiasts.

Therefore, in the subsequent reform movement, the two sides will surely explode into a massive **** conflict. At that time, it was the time when Spain was overwhelmed.

In later generations, as strong as old and beautiful, it will also sink into the quagmire of the Vietnam War, and the Soviet Union will also defeat Afghanistan. Therefore, even under the influence of Marin, Spain is very rich and will sink into the wave of Moroccan resistance. By that time, in order to suppress the Moroccan resistance, Spain ’s fiscal expenditures must be astronomical ...

Anyway, the secret loss of Spain is determined. And, even if they lose money, they will appreciate Marin. Why? In the long run, as long as the entire territory of Morocco is controlled, the territory of Spain is nearly doubled.

Even if it is not too peaceful in the short term, it may be of great benefit if Morocco is successfully Christianized by Spain after decades or even hundreds of years. Even, even if the colonial era is over, Morocco can be regarded as the Spanish mainland. Because Morocco and Spain are only separated by a narrow strait, it is easy to assimilate into inherent territory.

Moreover, Morocco has the best climate in North Africa. In the area north of the Atlas Mountains, due to the influence of the Atlantic water vapor and the northern cold air, there is more precipitation here. It can be said that Morocco has the most precipitation in North Africa. If it were not for Egypt to be supported by the Nile, North Africa was the most suitable place to live and develop in Morocco.

Not only that, the climate in Morocco is similar to that in Spain. The Spanish moved to Morocco without any discomfort. Moreover, there is a narrow Strait of Gibraltar, which is very convenient to control.

Therefore, in the long run, occupying Morocco and Christianizing the area is absolutely in line with Spain's strategic interests.

In the original history, the reason why Spain did not occupy Morocco is because Spain controlled the large American colonies when it was the most powerful, causing Spain to focus on the Americas.

Moreover, the Habsburg family that ruled Spain at that time was particularly keen to incorporate the European hegemony into the German region, and died with the Dutch ... In the end, they were getting weaker in these boring disputes and consumption. When they were unable to conquer Europe, they found that it was not always easy to conquer Morocco ...

In modern times, Spain's national strength has recovered, and when it wanted to annex Morocco again, the French jumped out and snatched Morocco. In France, which is much stronger than himself, the Spaniards could only swallow their voices and were forced to use the Sahara as a colony ...

In short, the Spaniards have missed a great opportunity to completely transform Morocco across the sea into their own provinces. Otherwise, Spain's land area in later generations can increase by more than 440,000 square kilometers.

...

Now, with the help of Marin, the Spaniards have easily obtained the spicy trade, a fast-growing project, and have accumulated a lot of capital. In the era of mercenaries, Spain clearly had enough strength to destroy Morocco.

As long as it can occupy Morocco, and then slowly clean up and slaughter, I believe that in a few hundred years, Morocco will definitely change Constantinople into Istanbul as Turkey occupied Constantinople. As long as Morocco is Christianized, there will be no resistance.

Moreover, Marin gave Juan III a strategy to permanently control Morocco-to attract the Berbers and expel the Arabs ...

Arabs have a stronger sense of independence and are more difficult to deal with. When there are Arabs, the Spaniards do not want to rule Morocco peacefully.

In fact, Arabs are also outsiders. The local indigenous people are Berbers. It was the Arabs who invaded this area during the expansion of the Arab Empire and ruled the area for seven or eight hundred years. The Berbers, even during the period of the Byzantine Empire, even Christian areas ~ www.novelhall.com ~ of course, the Greek Orthodox. It was only after the Arab Empire annexed here that the locals converted God.

Anyway, the Berbers and the black natives of India were originally the masters of the land, but after being conquered, they became servants, but not as bad as the black Indians.

Therefore, the Berbers were used to rule and it was not difficult for them to convert. However, if the Arabs were converted, they would have to die. However, the Arabs in Morocco are almost half now (the majority will be later generations). Even if you want to slaughter, you can't kill millions of people ... I really want to do that, how is it different from the devil?

Therefore, the best way to deal with them is eviction. The reason is simple too-are you not Arab? Back to your Arabian Peninsula! Anyway, just drive east. Just drive away from Morocco, regardless of where they are making waves.

As long as the most fierce Arabs are driven away, the remaining Berbers will be much better.

However, this process may take several decades to be completely resolved. After all, Arabs will never sit still. Moreover, they are reluctant to leave Morocco, where the climate is humid, to go back to the Arabian Peninsula and go back to eat sand?

Therefore, during this period, the two sides will inevitably have many life and death contests ...

...

When the Spaniards and the Arabs in Morocco are dying, Marin can take advantage of the opportunity to develop his strength and strengthen himself. When the Spaniards completely annexed Morocco and looked back to expand abroad, they would find out—oh, Marin ’s empire was no longer able to compete with them ...

In short, Morocco is a big cake, but it is a big cake that is easy to eat and hold. Moreover, it is still a pit, a big pit that can hold Spain for many years ... 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone's academy
