Chapter 1254 Punic War

New Spain Governor's District, Mexico City.

Governor-General Philip and Commander Philip were busy planning to declare their Yellow Peril theory recently, printing a lot of books on this, as well as oil paintings, and sending them to Europe to promote their theories.

It is said that the books and oil paintings brought back to Europe by merchant ships have caused considerable responses in Spain and even the entire Europe.

This made Grand Duke Philip and Commander Philip both earn a great reputation and became celebrities in Western European politics.

Now is the era of great voyage and the era of the great powers dividing the world.

As the great voyage and geographical discoveries come to an end, the land in the world that can be divided by the great powers has been divided up, and there are not many borderless lands that can be shared by all countries.

Faced with the situation where there are fewer and fewer land that can be divided, countries have begun to compete for colonies, especially latecomers. They have already felt the anxiety of not occupying any good places, and competition among countries has gradually inspired.

There are too many monks and too little porridge. Western European countries have already felt that the colonies are not divided enough, and now a powerful dynasty has appeared, which makes all countries feel huge competitive pressure.

Therefore, Philip's theory of Ganchao threat proposed by Philip immediately caused a huge response as soon as it was released and resonated with all countries.

After Ganchao defeated Spain and the Netherlands one after another, and defeated the coalition forces of various countries brought up by the British in Malacca, and seized the interests of Western powers in the Far East, South Asia, and India, countries gradually recognized the theory of Ganchao threat.

In order to cope with increasingly fierce competition, the countries that were originally fighting alone gradually became a trend of joining groups in order to gain more colonies in order to win the competition.

Last year, Britain lost in the competition with the Gan Dynasty. Their interests in India were occupied by the Gan Dynasty, which made Britain begin to take the initiative to improve relations with Spain, France and the Netherlands and reconcile conflicts between all parties so as to facilitate competition with the Gan Dynasty.

During the negotiations, all parties mentioned Philip's theory of threats to fight against the North Korea, which greatly increased Philip's fame and seized a lot of political capital for him.

At this time, in the Governor's residence, Grand Duke Philip drank wine and smoked a cigar and said to Commander Philip: "Dear Philip. Your books have caused a great response in the country. His Majesty the King admires your theory of threats."

Philip smiled and said, "I also have to thank the Governor for his support. If it weren't for you, my theory would not have spread so quickly and widely."

Grand Duke Philip picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink."

The two raised their wine glasses and drank a glass of wine with a smile. Grand Duke Philip smiled and said, "By the way, have the exploration team sent to the north discovered new situations? Why hasn't the news been sent back yet?"

At the Battle of Kingsoft, the Spaniards paid a heavy price to take Kingsoft County.

At that time, Grand Duke Philip was under tremendous pressure because of the failure of the Philippines and the Far East fleet.

Therefore, he and Philip concealed the true situation of the Battle of Kingsoft and did not report the Chinese to the King of Spain.

More than 10,000 Chinese people, who are still moving in northern Mexico, have always been the heart knot of Grand Duke Philip.

There has been no definite news about how those Chinese people are? Whether they die of disease or are eliminated by indigenous tribes.

This is undoubtedly a hidden danger for Grand Duke Philip, so for three years he has been quietly dispatching expedition teams to inquire about the Chinese.

After hearing this, Philip remembered the expedition he sent to. It seemed that there was no news for a long time.

Recently, he has been busy with his threat theory of the cause and is ready to rely on this theory to gain enough political capital and be transferred back to China to take important positions, so he ignored the matter of the expedition team.

Philip picked up the wine glass, indicated to Philip, and raised his glass and said, "Please rest assured, you must be back soon. Those Chinese may have starved to death and died of illness in the jungle."

The two looked up and drank the fine wine imported from France, and talked for a while. Philip hurriedly said goodbye and left the Governor's mansion.

At this time, he returned to his manor and asked someone to investigate. Why has the expedition sent to the Colorado River investigated not come back yet?

A few days later, the ship that went to investigate had not yet heard back the news. Another incident attracted the attention of the colonial authorities.

Not only did the ships sent to investigate not come back, but the colonial authorities sent to Kingsoft, and the ships transporting slaves back to the gold did not come back.

This made the New Mexico colonial authorities feel a little suspicious and uneasy.

A few days later, Philip was sent to the Colorado River to look for the Explorer's fleet, and sent back the news, but no ships of the Explorer were found.

The Exploration Team's sailing disappears surprised Philip. He noticed that the situation was not right, so he could only confess to Grand Duke Philip that there might be problems with the Exploration Team sent out.

This made Grand Duke Philip uneasy. He contacted the fleet that went to Kingsoft to transport slaves and gold back, but he was a little worried. Philip had to send the fleet to Kingsoft to check.

Half a month passed, and at the end of 1659, the fleet heading to Kingsoft sent back a news that shocked the Grand Duke of Philip and Commander Philip, and the Chinese took back Kingsoft.

This shocked the two of them and felt fear inside.

"How could this happen?" Grand Duke Philip was furious, "Philip must regain the gold mountain immediately!"

Three years ago they claimed that they had eliminated the Chinese in Kingsoft County, but now Kingsoft County has been taken back by the Chinese, making it impossible for them to explain to the Spanish king.

For a moment, the two had to hurry to mobilize their troops and prepare to quickly retake Jinshan County, and then turn big things into small matters and hide the matter again. However, before the troops they mobilized were dispatched, the Spanish colonial strongholds to the north were frequently raided by the Xin Shang army.

For more than a hundred years, their colonies in the Americas have never suffered large-scale invasions since the Spanish destroyed the Aztec and Mayan civilizations.

The Xin Shang army took the initiative to move south, using nomadic tactics to raid farming, raided the Spanish strongholds and destroyed their manors, forcing the Grand Duke of Philip to dispatch troops to the north to resist the attacks of the Xin Shang army.

This made Kingsoft unable to be quickly recaptured, and the news of Kingsoft's fall eventually spread to Europe, and things could not be made small, causing the wrath of the Spanish king.

The Chinese regained their gold medals and extended their hands to North America, which also aroused dissatisfaction and vigilance among Western European countries.

On the other side, Shi Kai took a sailboat and finally returned to Ganchao after two months of sailing.

His appearance immediately caused a sensation for Gan Chao, and Gan Chao's actions subsequently caused the long-lasting Punic War to break out like Rome and Carthage.
