Although the Spanish Empire entered the Bourbon era, Spain was still an independent country, and the two countries each had their own kings, and the people of the country would not regard themselves as subjects of another country because the king was a relative.

Just like now, Colonel Thomas knew very well what Jose wanted to do, just because the Ming Dynasty made reinforcements from its homeland to the New World. The French had known about the news of the Ming Dynasty's increase in troops for a long time, and Colonel Thomas, as a liaison officer in New Spain, knew it very well.

But what is the problem with the French Empire? France has signed an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, and both sides are no longer opponents on the battlefield. Moreover, France's strength in the New World is not weak. What if the Ming Dynasty is stronger than before? Does the Ming Dynasty plan to tear up the treaty and continue to fight with France? Any commander with some brains would not choose to do this at all. This would not only cause the Ming Dynasty to tear up the treaty, but also fail to ensure that it can defeat the French army on the battlefield.

Therefore, the French did not care about the increase in the military strength of the Ming Dynasty in the New World. Besides, the Ming Dynasty suffered a loss on the battlefield before, so it is normal to send reinforcements from the local area to the New World. If it were France, it would also make a similar choice, as long as it maintains stability in politics and military terms.

Furthermore, France hates the Ming Dynasty even more now. To put it bluntly, the previous war was just an accident that no one expected. At that time, France started the war when weighing the pros and cons and felt confident of defeating the Ming army. Of course, there were also objective reasons why the British stood by and watched. But now, the situation is different. France was extremely angry about the despicable acts of stabbing the British in the back. Although it was impossible to teach the British a severe lesson immediately due to the treaty, the French had turned their targets to the British again. In France's view, only Britain was the main opponent of the French Empire in the New World.

Facing the old enemy of Britain, how could the French provoke the Ming Dynasty, which had already increased its troops? Not to mention making any promises for Spain. For Colonel Thomas, Spain is just a little brother of France. What is the role of his brother? It is nothing more than to block the knife for the elder brother at a critical moment. As long as New Spain is not at the critical moment, France will never take action easily.

It is precisely for these reasons that Your Excellency Jose is destined to be disappointed. Even if he put down his figure later and begged Colonel Thomas to inform the Earl of his concerns, and hoped that France could support Spain if necessary, and that he had fulfilled his ally's obligations.

In response, Colonel Thomas responded to the Governor with a standard diplomatic tone. He told Jose that he would report this request to the Earl, that the French Empire was also a responsible great power, just like the previous Spanish throne battle, that the French Empire would stand with the Spanish Empire if necessary, and would never sit idly by the Spanish Empire.

But at the same time, Colonel Thomas also proposed that Spain did not have to worry about the actions of the Ming Dynasty in the New World, and these were very natural reactions. Colonel Thomas even suggested that New Spain should not station too many troops on the border, so as to stimulate the Ming Dynasty, it can appropriately use some friendly methods to release goodwill...

More than half an hour later, Colonel Thomas left the Governor's house with the coffee given by His Excellency the Governor in his arms. Judging from his expression of leaving, the Colonel said goodbye with a relaxed and smile. However, after someone sent Colonel Thomas away, Jose's face was as heavy as the bottom of a pot, and his chest kept rising and falling.

"This bastard!" Jose couldn't help but his anger and punched him hard on the table. Due to his excessive strength, the tea sets placed on the table were smashed to the point.

The result of the meeting disappointed him. He knew that unless New Spain was directly attacked by the Ming Dynasty and could not resist the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, the French would never take action.

In this way, there will be no change in the current situation. New Spain will be shrouded under the military threat of the Ming Dynasty in the next days. When they think of this, Jose's forehead thumped and his premonition of anxiety became more and more serious.

"Now I just hope God bless Spain and Manila..." After a while of anger, Jose had no other choice. He was a little confident in New Spain, but what would the distant Luzon face? He really couldn't imagine this, and in the end he could only cross his chest and prayed that Almighty God could bless the people he involved.

Unfortunately, Jose did not know that while he was praying for God, in the far Far East, in Manila, the capital of Luzon, two great figures of Luzon, General Rivera, the governor of Luzon, and His Excellency El Salvador, sat facing each other with a sad face.

These two people are the highest officials of Spain in Luzon. General Rivera is in charge of the Governor's Office and the highest general in the military. His Excellency El Salvador is the highest official in the civilian court.

As part of the New Spain colony, they were subordinates of Governor Jose and were appointed by the Governor General of the New Spain colony. But in fact, Luzon was far apart from the New Spain colony, and was quite far away from the local area, so the rights of these two were almost equivalent to the Governor General of Luzon, except that the rights of the Governor General of the Post were divided into two, and the two held hands separately.

Now, it is the new year. New Year's Day has just passed, and even the most important Christmas in the West has not yet passed. In addition, Luzon is located in the Far East and there is still the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in the local area. If it were in previous years, more than a month would be the most festive atmosphere every year. As the main brain of Luzon's military and political parties, of course, he would also enjoy the happiest and leisurely time of the year at this time.

But now it is different from previous years. The whole Manila is still full of flowers on the surface, but under this prosperous surface, the high-level buildings of the Luzon colony are shrouded indescribable sorrow.
