The final choice of the Lanfang Republic, naturally, was to submit to Spanish rule.
At least by submitting to Spain, there is still a choice. Without Spain's support, the only outcome awaiting Lanfang is extinction.
"Wu, the diplomat, you have made the right choice." Inside the Madrid Royal Palace, Carlo smiled contentedly as he reached a preliminary agreement with Wu Yongxiang regarding cooperation between Spain and Lanfang.
As Wu Yongxiang is the plenipotentiary representative of the Lanfang Republic, signing the cooperation treaty only requires his signature.
As for whether the Lanfang Republic would breach the treaty, Carlo was not concerned at all.
Before the Lanfang Republic defeated the Dutch, they were constantly under colonial pressure from the Dutch East Indies.
And the timing of their defeat of the Dutch was completely decided by Spain. As long as Carlo was willing, the Lanfang Republic could continue to exhaust the Dutch indefinitely.
