Chapter 240: "The London Treaty"

The declaration of the Republican Party in Portugal caused a huge uproar within the country and quickly spread throughout most of Europe, becoming one of the most discussed topics among European people in recent times.

Of course, this was beneficial for Australasia as well. At least it quickly dispelled the suspicion of assassinating King Carlos I of Portugal and gained more favorable sentiments from the European population.

After all, Australasia and Portugal were at war, and the Portuguese people had already started to oppose the rule of King Carlos I, even harboring goodwill towards their enemy, Australasia.

Under the backdrop of King Carlos I, Australasia and Arthur became the embodiment of justice.

As they say, there is no harm in comparison. In order to maintain his autocratic rule, King Carlos I used the recent clashes with Australasian fishermen to portray himself as a protector of his subjects, unafraid of strong enemies.
