What Carlo really liked was the group of slave traders under Firm who could fight and kill.

As a big slave trader, Firm must have a group of ruthless characters. This Dutch merchant had long recruited a large number of people from the German region. These people were veterans who retired from the Great Alliance War. The Dutch slave trader was different from the slave traders in other regions. The Dutch merchants sometimes took action to capture slaves themselves.

The black slaves under Firm mainly came from West Africa, which was a colonial private place left by the empire to European countries. France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and even Denmark all had colonies there. Even Britain, a few years ago, a group of merchants holding royal charters robbed the colonies of the Duchy of Courland at the mouth of the Gambia River.

The colonists, the colonists and the indigenous people attacked each other very frequently. Philm and his partners wanted to establish a foothold, but it would not work without strong force. Fortunately, the slave trade was very profitable and could support such a large number of people.

There are dozens of these tough characters on the Pegasus, and there will be a ship soon. These hundred experienced warriors are the greatest value of Film.

Carlo did not tell Firm what he was going to do, but he quickly understood when he mentioned those men, but he didn't care. If Carlo had to do something to be a bandit, he would not offend the entire Spanish Kingdom for a little money. After all, Firm's main business was to deal with Spanish colonies, between the mother countries of Africa and Europe.

But if Carlo wants to do something, Philm will also participate depending on the situation. Anyway, he has no assets locally and has a ship in his hand. If the situation is wrong, he can completely get on the ship and leave.

After comforting Film, Carlo looked as usual on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious. He was anxiously waiting for the news from Ceuta. Everything he wanted to do must be supported by China to be considered profitable and not lose money. If he did not get support, it would be a risk. Carlo didn't know whether to take this risk. He was hesitating, but the huge profit made him involuntarily still want to give it a try.

Fortunately, the news from Ceuta came very quickly. Before the Pegasus of Firm returned from Ceuta, Jia Ming from the Military Intelligence Agency had already arrived from Ceuta.

Last year, he went to Lima on behalf of King Yu, and he personally participated in the matter of house arrest of the Governor of Peru, and contacted Antonio to carry out the Colonial Mutual Insurance Program.

Combining the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency and the information provided by Antonio, Jia Ming believes that Carlo is much more valuable than King Yu and the senior management of the Military Intelligence Agency imagined.

In Spain's American colonies, they were divided into the Governor General of New Spain and the Governor General of Peru. Jia Ming found in all aspects that in the Governor General of New Spain, the colonial squire was the most separatist, namely the Creoles. Their ancestors were immigrants and conquerors from Spain. It can be said that this vast colony was conquered by their ancestors for the king.

Even pure-blooded Spanish descendants are bullied by nobles from Spain. Whether they are born in Spain is an important criterion for the division of political power. The Creoles own large estates, which means they have the strongest economic strength of the colonies, but their economic status and political status are completely incompatible.

But after the American War, the social structure of the Peruvian Governor has changed. The Mestiso, who were mixed with the Indians, occupied the most important part of the social economy. They once compromised the Spanish government and had a close relationship with the imperial economy. It can be said that they could live, or even live better without Spain.

But in addition to these two forces, there is another force, that is, the dispatched officials represented by Carlo. Most of these people are from low births, most of whom are far-reaching branches of the great noble family or descendants of the destitute noble family, and many of them are simply children of merchants.

These people have two common points. First, they attended schools jointly run by the Empire and Spain, such as customs schools, tax schools, etc., which gave them a lot of connections with the imperial political circle. The second feature is that they belong to the dispatched officials of the Spanish government and are not as powerful as those sent by the Indy Court. Although their status is not high, they occupy more key positions.

Sending officials are instrumental in the eyes of the powers in Spain, and in the eyes of the colonial squire, they are no-legged, and they are not human inside and outside.

They have a certain political status and certain economic strength, but they are not pleased and are not valued at both ends because they are too scattered and do not have the ability to change the political ecology of a region.

But Jia Ming believed that dispatching officials also had potential, because when he was in Peru, he discovered that Peru's Mestiso squire was more acceptable to these dispatching officials. However, in the New Spain Governor's District, which had always maintained the original colony, Creole squires hated these people very much.

Once the colony changes, Jia Ming believes that the dispatched officials in the Governor General of New Spain will not be able to survive, and if they are concentrated, it will be a political energy. The most important thing is that among all political forces, the dispatched officials are the most close to the empire. Not to mention anything else, these people can speak Chinese.

"You are the very energetic friend mentioned in my father's letter." At Carlo's home, Carlo carefully observed Jia Ming, who was no different from an ordinary businessman, and asked in disbelief.

Jia Ming smiled and said, "I work for the Military Intelligence Bureau and was sent by King Yu to America for business. Your father wants us to give you a chance, so in this free time, I will come to Havana to take a look."

Carlo didn't know what he should say for a moment, because everything he did was based on his own guess - there would be a major change in the Spanish colony. Whether this major change existed or not, he didn't know what kind of change it was.

Jia Ming said: "You are Rodriguez's friend, right? Your father-in-law is the governor of Cuba. Can you help me contact that governor?"

Carlo said: "Is it because of Lima?"

Jia Ming let out a long sigh: "You know everything, it seems that the governor must know it too."

Carlo thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "Yes, he must have known. Now he and his son-in-law Rodriguez are dealing with assets and seem to want to escape back to Spain."

"Is Rodriguez doing this too?" Jia Ming was a little confused. He was naturally not entirely for Carlo. Rodriguez was also an inspection target, and his priority was still above Carlo.

Because Rodriguez had a Cuban governor as his father-in-law, the Military Intelligence Bureau hoped to convince the governor to join, of course, that was just icing on the cake. Rodriguez was enough to download the military intelligence bureau. Judging from his resume at the Customs School, although Rodriguez did not have a good academic performance, he was a person who was good at dancing. When the customs school was preparing for the student union, the first recommended student was to the students, but he was snatched away by the descendants of another great noble family.

Since Rodriguez worked in the municipal government in Havana, his relationship with the Imperial merchants has also been handled well. It can be seen from the archive code number set by the Military Intelligence Bureau that Rodriguez's code name in the Military Intelligence Bureau is Kaleidoscope.

Carlo nodded, and Jia Ming frowned: "But our information shows that after becoming a colonial official, most of the income he received was purchased near Havana and had nothing in the country."

"Yes, so he's secretly selling his plantation recently."

"How could this happen?" Jia Ming couldn't figure it out. In theory, Rodriguez should stay in Cuba firmly and use various means to protect his industry.

Carlo said: "Anna is his true love and has given birth to him two children. Rodriguez's most important thing is his wife."

"It's hopeless." Jia Ming couldn't help but complain. If he had known Rodriguez was such a person, the Military Intelligence Bureau would not have valued him so much. Jia Ming asked: "Mr. Carlo, you also know the news about Lima, what did you think."

Jia Ming just came to contact him, he did not have detailed information from Carlo.

"I just bought two hundred black slaves and expanded the sugarcane plantation. If the price is right, I would also like to get the plantations Rodriguez." Carlo chose to express his wish in this way.

Faced with Jiaming's doubts, Carlo said: "I am different from Rhodes. He returns to Barcelona with the money and can continue to be with his wife, buy a small manor, and beg his father-in-law to find him a job. I don't have such resources. When I return to Gibraltar, I may not be able to hide the fact that I pretended to be the son of a viscount.

Actually, I thought about it, if I had to leave and wouldn't go back to Spain, I would go to Jamaica, or Brazil."

"Your father told me personally that you were very sensitive to some changes in the American colonies. But now it seems that you not only noticed it, but also prepared to do something, right?" Jia Ming asked.

Carlo said: "I am not a nobleman. Before I entered the customs school at the age of seventeen, I never expected anything I could do. Because my civilian status limited my future.

But at the customs school, I met many Chinese teachers and read a lot of Chinese books.

I still remember a sentence deeply, "Is it better to be a king, prince, general and minister?" This sentence is engraved into my bones. If I have the opportunity, I must do something, do my best and do everything I can."

Jia Ming nodded slightly, and he stood up and walked around the living room. He was hesitating whether to tell Carlo's plan for mutual protection in the colony, and hesitating whether Carlo is trustworthy.

"Did you have a lot of contact with your classmates in the customs school?" Jia Ming asked back.

"More, not much." After Carlo thought about it, he gave an inconsistent answer.

He explained in detail that the so-called many means that all the students who passed through Havana, whether they returned to their homeland or trade, were treated to the hospitality. The so-called few were because this kind of connection was not dominated by him, but Rodriguez liked to do, and those people also attended the banquet for Rhodes' face.

But now Rodriguez is about to withdraw, and these networks are only Rodriguez in Carlo.

"I suggest you contact them more, especially students in the Governor of New Spain. If the Lima incident is made public, you should contact them more and form a network of relationships with you as the core. This is very useful for your future." Jia Ming reminded.

Carlo asked: "What are we going to do? Betray the Kingdom of Spain or promote colonial independence?"

Jia Ming smiled: "If so, are you willing to do it?"

"Of course I do, but I don't think it's possible to succeed." Carlo said honestly.

Jiaming nodded, satisfied with Carlo's answer, and said, "Your idea is too radical. The Spanish colonies do not have an independent foundation."

Carlo was also very satisfied with Jia Ming's answer, because what Jia Ming said was that there was no foundation now, so what about the future?

"Then is it enough for me to just contact my old friends and classmates?" Carlo insisted.

"What else should be done depends on the development of the situation." Jia Ming said.

Carlo shook his head firmly: "That won't work, it's far from enough."

"Why?"

"Because I want to take my life and risk my life, either not to do it, or to do it in full," said Carlo.

Jiaming knew that Carlo was exploring the Empire's plan in America, but now he really couldn't reveal the specific plan. He said: "If the news of His Excellency Antonio's control of Lima spread here and spread throughout the Governor General of New Spain, what do you think will happen."

Carlo said: "The attitude of the colony is not important at all. What matters is the attitude of the native Spain and your attitude. If you are against each other, the colony will fall into war. But I think the native Spain will not be too tough. After all, Lima is on the other side of the mainland. The king does not have the ability to organize an expeditionary force that can reconquer Lima. If he had the ability to do so, he would have done so after the war in the Americas."

"You know that the Kingdom of Spain is in the whirlpool of inheritance of the throne. What do you think about this question?"

Carlo had considered this issue a long time ago, saying: "Obviously, the colonies should not move with the land, which means our conflict with your country. In this conflict, the new king cannot protect us. No one wants to experience what happened in the Peru Governor's District during the American War that year.
