Spain, the sweet boy from the early days of the Age of Discovery.

During the entire Age of Discovery, Spain's status was extremely important. As one of the representatives of the founding of this era, Spain was once extremely powerful.

At its peak, Spain's power was feared by everyone. In later generations, when people mentioned the Empire of Sun Never Setting, the first thing they thought of was the British Empire, but few people knew that there was an Empire of Sun Never Setting before the British Empire, and this country was Spain.

In the New World, Spain occupied most of the land in Central and North America, and combined with the region of South America, it became the conquerors and owners of this land.

In Asia, Luzon's possession made Spain even more powerful. At this time, Spain's ship routes were everywhere in the sea, countless gold, silver, spices, Asian silk, tea, etc., which continued to come to Europe through the hands of Spain and brought huge wealth to the Kingdom of Spain.

The possession of wealth also allowed Spain to use this wealth to build a powerful fleet. The emergence of the Invincible Armada made Spain more and more popular, but who would have thought that the glory of the past would fade away so quickly. More than a hundred years ago, the demise of the Invincible Armada gave Spain an extremely heavy blow, thus causing Spain to fall from its peak.

Although it was gradually surpassed by the latter, Spain is still one of the world's powerful countries in the past hundred years. Although Spain, which has countless colonies, is not as glorious as before, it still maintains its attitude as a strong country.

But no one expected that in just over a decade, Spain's decline would be as rapid as a roller coaster. The Spanish throne war consumed a lot of national strength. Then, due to the revenge from the previous Xinming War, Spain's largest colony in Asia was captured by the Ming Empire, thus losing it.

What's even more deadly is still behind, because the decision-making mistake of the Governor of New Spain at that time caused the Spanish gold and silver fleet to receive no news of Luzon's loss, and thus foolishly got into the trap of the Ming Dynasty's South China Sea Navy.

The losses of this fleet made Spain, which had lost Luzon, even worse, and also sowed the seeds of "suicide" by the former governor.

The war in Asia failed, and Spain was even more slumped, and in the New World, it had to face the Ming Dynasty's eye. In desperation, the Spanish interim governor adopted a strategy of reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the colonial rule and avoid more losses.

From this point of view, the response of the Spanish Interim Governor was fine, and the results achieved were significant.

After eased relations with the Ming Dynasty and even formally established diplomatic relations, the unstable situation at home and abroad gradually calmed down. Moreover, because the trade with the Ming Dynasty gradually developed, it even made up for the losses of interests lost due to war and colonies in this regard, which made Spain slowly recover.

If it continues, although Spain still cannot return to the peak of the empire that year, as a powerful country and European country with many colonies, the Fudi Land should have a good life.

General Godoy was a general of the Royal Spanish Navy, and he was also a profitable person who participated in the Spanish throne battle. However, General Godoy was not very lucky. After the Spanish Kingdom entered the Bourbon era, he did not become an admiral because of his unpleasant personality, but was kicked from the land to the New Spanish colony and became the naval commander of the colony.

After the Battle of Luzon, the New Spanish Navy suffered a great loss, and 70% of its main warships and large ships were all lost in Asia. The glorious colonial navy changed from a large fleet to an inconspicuous defensive fleet. This is enough to show the unluckyness of General Godoy's replacement of the commander of this fleet.

Although the Spanish Kingdom has worked hard to restore the strength of the colonial navy in recent years, how easy is it to build a powerful fleet?

In order to make up for the strength of the colonial navy, the Spanish Kingdom finally allocated several warships from its local fleet to the colonial navy, and ordered New Spain to build new warships as soon as possible to supplement it.

But in a few years, the new warships were not formed so quickly. In addition, Spain lacked financial resources, the recovery time was much longer than planned. Until now, the entire colonial navy only had 33 warships, which seemed to be sloppy from this number, but there were no first-class battleships among these 33 warships, only two second-class battleships, and the rest were third-class or even ordinary warships. The combat power was completely different from before.

What's even more terrible is that due to the separation between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the colonial navy was divided into two parts. The scale of the colonial navy's warships near the Pacific Ocean was less than half, which means that only fifteen of the thirty-three warships were on the Pacific Ocean.

As the Spanish colonies attacked the Ming Dynasty in the north, General Godoy has been worried these days. When there was no one, General Godoy, who was drinking rum, couldn't help but curse the Governor Viscount Santander. In his mouth, this noble Viscount and Governor were a fool who could only rely on his daughter's body to exchange for glory and wealth, and thus reach a high position, but his mind was full of muddy.

Of course, these complaints can only be vented privately. General Godoy, who suffered a great loss because he couldn't control his mouth, would not repeat the same mistakes.

Once his complaints reached Viscount Santander's ears, God knew whether the Governor would use this to sue him in the local area, thus causing him to completely lose his current status.

It has been more than ten days since the war on land began. General Gordoy has been worried these days, fearing that bad news will come.

As a naval general, he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was not a match for the Ming Navy just by relying on the warships in his hands.

But what made him angry was that the governor had not sought his opinion before the war began. When he learned the news of the war, the war on land had already begun, and he only received a governor order from Mexico City to lead the fleet to make military defense and be ready to fight the Ming Navy at any time.

"Fight? Fight for your dream!" General Godoy, who received the order, almost cursed the swear words. He wished he could get off the boat and ran to the Governor's Mansion in Mexico City, and knocked open the Governor's head with an axe to see what was inside.

Not to mention the military strength on land, don’t you know the situation of the fleet on the ocean as the governor?

Just relying on one's own warships to fight the powerful Ming Navy? Are you planning to let yourself die?
