As long as you defend yourself well, it will be difficult for Ming Dynasty to land and capture it.

It was the Ming Dynasty that suddenly severed trade relations, causing Spain to almost go bankrupt and almost paralyzing the navy and army, before it was taken away by the British.

In the future, neither the Ming Dynasty nor the British would be able to seize it by force again.

But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty can launch attacks on the Yinzhou continent and at the north and south ends of the Spanish colony.

If Spain refuses to make concessions, Ming Dynasty will definitely not agree to sign a permanent peace treaty. Ten years is the limit.

When the peace treaty time comes, a new war will begin.

Before that, Spain might not be able to defend its colony in Nanyinzhou.

Rather than letting those rebels seize the land, it is better to give it to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for peace.

After careful calculation, Manuel spoke again:

"Spain could give up the California Peninsula and the Lesser Antilles."

This is another step back, leaving the main part of the Andres Islands and giving those small islands to Ming Dynasty.

In this way, both sides can enter and exit the Caribbean Sea on their own through the strait under their own control, and go to Zhongyinzhou and Nanyinzhou on their own.

Zhu Jingyuan knocked on the table lightly:

"I said it before, if you don't give the Greater Antilles, you have to add Texas."

Manuel subconsciously vetoed:

"This is impossible."

Zhu Jingyuan stretched out two fingers:

"Then sign a twenty-year armistice agreement."

Manuel's expression froze again:

"You...don't go too far."

Zhu Jingyuan did not continue to be aggressive this time. Instead, he had a persuasive expression:

"In fact, the twenty-year armistice agreement is very reasonable, it has been a generation.

"Traditional armistice agreements usually last for twenty years.

"There is absolutely no problem in signing it directly for 20 years."

What Zhu Jingyuan said is indeed the truth.

Except for direct cession of territory, twenty years is already a relatively long time for other normal treaties.

However, the Ming Dynasty already had nearly permanent long-term peace treaties with the Ottomans, Lucia, and the Netherlands.

Other countries may also sign permanent peace treaties.

By signing a 20-year treaty alone, we are separated from other countries. This is not simply a matter of isolation.

This tells the whole world that compared to other countries, our country, which has only signed a 20-year treaty, has potential war risks.

If you want to form an alliance with me, if you want to invest, and if you want to immigrate, you should be more cautious.

This is simply a long-term risk reminder for the whole world.

At the same time, this is also a very direct threat.

Signing a twenty-year treaty is actually a gamble.

Bet on whether the national strength of the two sides will fundamentally change in 20 years, and bet on whether the other side will restart the war in 20 years.

You also have to bet on whether the other party will break the contract within twenty years.

Because since it is time-limited, long-term peace treaties with other countries indicate that the other country has not achieved its strategic goals.
