The fire in Seville obviously made Leonardo, who was a Spaniard, furious. Although one of them was the leader of the Jesuits who was forbidden by the current pope, the other was the largest pirate in the Atlantic today, they were obviously patriotic.

Therefore, when they saw Qitade, they kept silent.

Qitad doesn't care.

Under today's circumstances, as long as Truchen does not make any mistakes and replaces the British Empire, it is only a matter of time before the Spanish Empire becomes the "Empire of the Sun".

What's more, he had just received a message from the Governor General of Hexian Town that there was already a British stronghold on the east coast of Australia. He was not anxious about this, although the British had declared that it was the territory of the British Empire.

Everything is spoken by strength.

How to layout the world?

Originally, he had no idea, but as he came to Spain, he suddenly had experience.

However, all this has to fall on the Spanish.

In recent days, he has not only received news from the Far East, but also news that is close to him.

"Your Majesty, the army of Soroc, the governor of Andalusia, is only more than one hundred miles away from Seville. After he learned that Seville was burned, he stopped immediately. The place where he stopped was Huelva, located at the junction of Spain and Portugal"

"It seems that he is waiting for further orders from the Spanish king"

"In Lisbon, an army led by Crown Prince Carlos IV has arrived in Lisbon and launched an attack on Zhang Mu's patrol headquarters. Naturally, his army is stationed in Amadora, west of Lisbon, forming a horn with the Portuguese army in the city."

"Because the family of Portuguese Prime Minister Malik is controlled by our army, the two princesses Anna and Benetita in the palace are safe and sound"

"Zhang Muxun only has one division, and he has to take care of Lisbon City and monitor the Spanish army, and he can only focus on the defensive."

"The Spanish attacked Porto's army, and a division from Ganesa joined with a half division from Valladolid. They did not rush to Lisbon to join Carlos IV, but instead robbed in Portugal"

Deng Ce is summarizing and reporting telegrams from all parties.

Qitad nodded, "What about your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, it is obvious that the Spanish have sent news of the war in Seville and Lisbon to Madrid through the densely populated post stations. Although they are much slower than us, there is one in the post stations within fifty miles, and each one can be reached without changing horses in the middle of the journey."

This is one of the reform achievements of Carlos III, and Qitad naturally knows it.

"Continue talking"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the city second only to Madrid in Spain was destroyed, and Carlos III called himself the 'Emperor'. This breath would obviously not be swallowed, and he would definitely launch a counterattack. If I were an Espanyol, I would annihilate my army in Lisbon with my superior forces, and then concentrate my troops to Andalusia to fight our army to the decisive battle with our army."

"Although the Spanish were not well-disciplined, they still had some reservations about Portugal. When they invaded Portugal more than ten years ago, they also started robbery, but the degree was very light. They were obviously planning to use this place as a major region of their own."

"But this time, their looting seemed to be much heavier than that time. As long as it was a farm with less tight guards, the castle would be captured and then all the property inside would be robbed."

"This means there is a change in their strategy"

"Oh?"

"They have realized that the possibility of competing for the throne with our country in Portugal has been greatly reduced, and our country has penetrated into their territory. In order to calm the resentment of the people in the country, Carlos III will definitely concentrate on coming to Seville to fight our army in a decisive battle"

"Considering our maritime advantages, their march must be very fast, otherwise our reinforcements will come again soon"

"When the Soroc army stranded in Huelva moved again, it means that Carlos III's other army had crossed the Baetique Mountains and began to enter Andalusia"

"So, our country has two choices"

"First, continue to stay in Seville, wait for your hard work, and start a decisive battle with Carlos III's army here"

"The second is to leave Cordoba. The city is located on the southern foot of the Baetique Mountains, which controls the southern exit connecting Madrid-Seville Road. Its location is very important. Historically, they have repeatedly fought for it with the Arabs, which is very strong."

"Although our country burned down Seville and captured a magical island with a large amount of supplies, Andalusia still has many rich castles, and Cordoba is one of them. It has been five days since our army arrived here, but it has not received any news of the lords of each city's departure."

"This means that these lords have received orders from Governor Soroc and even Carlos III to hold on to the city, and may even bring a large amount of food and grass outside the city into the city to make us clear the land."

"How could they know that our country has a large amount of food, grass and ammunition reserves in Genitra, Morocco, and is not afraid of these at all"

"In addition, Carlos III has mostly sent envoys to France, Austria and other countries, but it takes a long time and is completely useless"

"After the Austrian navy set out from Slovenia, he had already arrived near Malta. After learning about the war in Seville, he returned. Although the French were both Bourbon dynasties with the Spanish, if he had to choose between our country and Spain, he would not hesitate to remain neutral."

Qitad cast an admiring look at him and said, "Yes, the royal families in Europe are almost all relatives, and the same is true for Portugal and Spain. This relationship obviously cannot make it a real alliance, the key is still interests."

"Where are the British?"

"There is no movement. Their war in North America is not over yet. If we start a war with us in Europe, it will collapse once the war is defeated. I believe they will not know this."

"No, no, I'm talking about the British colonies near Andalusia"

"Oh, that's right, the British controlled Gibraltar to the north of the Strait of Gibraltar and Tangier, which originally belonged to the Kingdom of Morocco to the south, and they could almost control the Strait. They did the same, but they were powerless to our steam fleet."

Deng Ce suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

Qitad nodded, "Yes, I originally wanted to confront the main contradiction to the British, but who made the Spaniards more territory?"

"That's fine with Gibraltar, but after this battle, our country must take Tangier down and take Ceuta from the Spanish at the same time. If the British join the war, attack Tangier immediately, otherwise they will be taken down as soon as possible after the war"

"The relationship between our country and Morocco is pretty good. Onkte is also the son-in-law of the Sultan. After taking Tangier and Ceuta, he changed the relationship between these two places and Morocco, and changed it from the previous occupation relationship to the lease relationship. Of course, it was a hundred years, so the Moroccans would not agree."

"In addition, we must also support the Arabs in North Africa and let them experience the glory of their ancestors. Now the four sultanate countries in Morocco, Algiers, Tunisia and Tripoli have good relations with our country. Since Tangier has been taken down, they must have started a war with the British."

"Then we might as well take Gibraltar down together, but we don't need to occupy it directly. Instead, let the four sultanates draw some troops to occupy it. The British have built a solid base there. If the Arabs do not take the initiative to attack, it is okay to defend it alone."

"This will make the Spaniards feel skin-wrenching and their eyes will not be staring at us"

“Distribute pressure?”

"Yes, just like the Kingdom of Solomon and several new independent grand priests"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Spaniards and the British will unite to deal with us..."

"What are you afraid of? Now our country has a great advantage in the sea, and the British rely on the navy. The army is similar to European countries. Even if they want to join forces, they cannot implement it."

"What's more, with Sevilla's past lessons, aren't they afraid that we will directly attack London along the Thames?"

"Also", Nolb on the side seemed to have received inspiration, "Your Majesty, once Carlos III transfers a large army from Madrid, the northern border of its territory will be empty. Although France has a good relationship with it, according to Your Majesty, the key is still interests. Maybe the French will also send troops to capture there"

Qitad shook his head, "Its north is the core of Spain, the Kingdom of Aragon and the Kingdom of Castile. Historically, the Spanish did fight repeatedly with the French here, but the resistance there was very strong, except for one place..."

"Barcelona?"

"Yes, it is the territory of the Catalans, and the two kingdoms mentioned just now are mainly Iberians. Our Andalusia is an Iberian, Moorish, and Vandal mixed race land. Carlos III will definitely draw a large army to come"

"But Madrid, Valladolid's army has been drawn, and he can only draw from Valencia and Murcia. In addition, the army of Carlos IV will definitely go to Chencang secretly and arrive in Huelva to meet Soroc in secret"

"He will not transfer the troops of Barcelona. On the one hand, the journey is too long, and on the other hand, he must be guarded against the French and Catalans"

"Then us?"

Qitade stood up.

"At present, our goals have gradually become clear"

"If Carlos III wants to surrender completely, he must severely damage his new army in a war and then sign an agreement with him. In addition to obtaining the throne of the King of Portugal, it is inevitable to let him cede land and pay compensation. Well, mainly cede land, and his financial situation is not good."

"Your Majesty, just take Andalusia down. There are still a large number of Moorish descendants here. It is better to introduce more Arabs from North Africa to compete with them."

"No," Qitad shook his head, "Ceota in Morocco, North Africa must be taken. I can't tolerate that there are still people trying to control the Strait of Gibraltar. In addition, we have been wasting time in Asia and the Pacific so far, and it's time to look at the Atlantic Ocean"

Deng Ce's eyes were also bright, "Then our entry point?"

Qitad said: "Not long ago, the British occupied Cuba, and the Spanish had no choice but to exchange Florida they occupied for Cuba."

"Cuba is located between North and South America. It has a large island and rich resources. Although it is also tropical, it has a monsoon climate and is not too humid and hot. It is suitable for both agriculture and animal husbandry, and can also grow rice in large quantities. It is now the largest source of tobacco, sugarcane, and coffee for the Spanish people."

"There are also rich mineral resources. If you take this place, it will be better than thousands of Chile!"

"Then we don't want saltpeter in Chile?"
