"Report! Those Ming people have made arrangements." The soldier who had just been called quietly opened the door of the conference room and reported to Carinio.

"Yes, I understand." Carinio nodded slightly and reminded, "When you go out, remember to close the door."

Due to the cover of the curtain, no sunlight penetrated into the conference room. It was extremely dark and deserted. When the cigar in Carigno's hand was relit, there was a faint spark, allowing the room of less than 20 square meters to show its smoke. lingering.

"Everything you said before is true."

Cariño took the cigar in his hand and took a sharp puff, exhaling a thick ring of smoke in an instant. Now he was particularly addicted to this feeling. Every puff he took made him experience the pleasure of entering a fairyland, as if there were countless cigars. The little hands were scratching his scalp, making his thinking very clear.

That's why he is only 53 years old and can reach this position. However, this feeling has disappeared very quickly recently. He has already felt that his body is powerless and his head is dizzy, but this does not affect him from continuing to smoke, which has become a hobby. Habit.

"Yes, it was His Excellency Qin Hao and his brave soldiers who saved me." Faced with the officer's question, Amorim answered seriously without any slack.

"But he didn't save the other soldiers, did he?"

"Those natives were so crazy that they seemed to be desperate for their lives. When His Excellency Qin Hao arrived, it was already too late. We shouldn't be so demanding, right? If it weren't for his help, these soldiers who sacrificed their lives heroically would not have even been able to survive." There will be no prayers.”

"Amorim, do you think they will be our enemies on Taiwan Island?" Carinio suddenly changed the subject.

"Won't."

"Why are you so sure, just because he saved your life?" Cariño asked the young adjutant in front of him with a smile.

In his opinion, the young man in front of him was really too young, not because of his qualifications as a soldier, but because of his vision. Even if he had made great military exploits in the New World, it could not make up for his shortcomings.

Carinho is very sure that the young man named Qin Hao will definitely become their enemy in the future, and he will be a big trouble after the Dutch.

"No, I will never mix my personal feelings with the empire's cause. I don't think it's because Your Excellency Qin Hao is from the Ming Dynasty. People from the Ming Dynasty have the habit of missing their hometown, and they will always go back." Amo Reem thought for a moment and gave this answer.

When Carinio heard this answer, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic for his hometown. Yes, when you get older, who doesn’t miss your hometown and look forward to the soil there?

It's just that young people don't care, and the young Ming Dynasty general just now is one of them. Cariño saw the ambition for the future in his eyes.

The fact that he can bring people here means that he has a pioneering heart, and the group of Europeans who appear around him mean that he has seen the vastness of the world.

How can people who have seen the vastness of the sea cherish the streams?

"Captain, you have to admit that since he appears here, he may be my enemy." Cariño suddenly raised his voice. He wanted to let the young man know his attitude.

"But he saved my life."

"This is not an excuse, not to mention that you are just a Mingguo person. You must not know that the empire has a strategy plan for the Mingguo."

"This was all decades ago." Amorim retorted helplessly.

Not long after he arrived in the Far East, he saw such a crazy and incredible plan report.

It is said that Martin, the missionary in charge of the Empire in the Philippines, once gave a warning to the Governor of Manila, saying: "The Ming people are not good at fighting, they are good at farming, and they don't like fighting, and they like to have fun more. We only need to use our cannons to bomb their walls, they will flee.”

A year later, a certain captain of the Armada who had been to the Ming Dynasty said the same thing to the king: "I only need 100 troops to capture that country."

But the empire was attacking Portugal at the time, and King Philip II had no time to pay attention.

Until the new Governor of Manila Francisco proposed this idea to King Philip II again. This time he also submitted a detailed combat report. He planned to use some cover to capture the most prosperous Jiangnan in the Ming Dynasty and attack him. The finances of the Ming Dynasty slowly penetrated into it, and finally overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

He proposed that he only needed 5,000 Spanish regular soldiers, and then spent money to buy some Japanese and Filipino refugees.

At that time, the empire happened to annex Portugal, and the army's strength increased greatly. King Philip II confirmed the plan after careful consideration. In order to prevent accidents, he planned to dispatch a total of 12,000 expeditionary troops.

Unfortunately, when everything was ready, an accident happened. The Empire's "Invincible Fleet" was defeated by the British Navy, and the plan was shelved indefinitely.

"Lord Carinio, our current enemies are the Dutch and the indigenous people." Amorim was a little angry and didn't know why the officer kept targeting Qin Hao.

In his opinion, this is completely meaningless. They will be our friends, and they will attack the indigenous people with us. Besides, Taiwan is so big, so there is nothing wrong with sharing a little with them.

"The Dutch can't reach here for the time being. The indigenous people are just rats living in the cabin, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Only the group you brought back today, the moment you see their weapons and equipment, you should know that they are The strength.”

"But we haven't even defeated the indigenous people now. Besides, we have lost so many people this time." Amorim retorted, "By the way, those indigenous people have it in their hands."

Carinho looked at the adjutant who was arguing for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, adjutant, I don't want to argue with you anymore, you just need to know that this person will become the Spanish Just like the enemy."

"Leave my office now." Carigno pointed coldly at the door with a firm tone.

Amorim said nothing, solemnly saluted a military salute, opened the door and left.

Looking at his back, you can also know the entanglement in his heart.

Cariño put the cigar in his hand into the crystal ashtray, then smiled slightly and said to himself: I have heard that people in the Ming Dynasty are good at witchcraft, and I don’t know if his adjutant was deceived. It seems that if there is a chance, I must let him do it. The priest gave him some holy water to remove the demonic influence.

After speaking, he sighed helplessly, opened the mahogany drawer in front of him, took out a few pieces of letter paper, and picked up the pen on the table.

"Dear Governor, please forgive me for my incompetence. Due to my command error, San Salvador has now reached its most dangerous moment. The attack of the indigenous people has made it difficult for us to withstand. The attrition of soldiers is very serious. If you still need such a base, , I urgently hope to get your assistance. We need ships, cannons, flintlocks, regular soldiers, bread, water and all the supplies. In addition, I think Amorim"

Cariño, who has been in office for more than a year, is writing hard at his desk. He frowned slightly, as if something was bothering him, and he revised the manuscript again and again, which showed his hesitation and irritability when writing.

When the letter was finished, Cariño carefully stamped his coat of arms on the end of the letter, then folded it and stuffed it into the envelope and put it in the drawer.

Then he lit a cigar and tasted it unscrupulously. Recalling what Amorim had just said, he acknowledged the adjutant's opinion that their biggest enemies at present were the natives, but even this could not stop his plan.

There is an old saying from the Ming Dynasty: be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Drowning the threat in the womb is the wisest choice!
