After several months, Blanquito Almeida once again set foot on the land of Eastern Harbor. Inside the port, apart from a few cargo ships from La Plata, there were no vessels from any other countries, making everything seem very desolate. A few cargo ships flying the flag of the Rodriguez Chamber of Commerce were unloading cattle, keeping the sailors on board and the workers on the dock quite busy. On the right side of the dock, in the quarantine area, a large group of men in linen uniforms were undergoing military training. They were the new immigrants. The people of the East Coast seemed to always enjoy such displays, but Blanquito had long since become accustomed to it.
Blanquito's fleet consisted of three large ships, all loaded with high-quality Brazilian rosewood. These tall trees were dense, hard, wear-resistant, and had excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, making them ideal for shipbuilding. The Spanish shipyards in Havana used a large amount of Brazilian and Surinamese rosewood, and as the old continent's shipbuilding materials were gradually depleted, even the Spanish Navy's flagship was eventually built using Brazilian rosewood from the Havana shipyard.
Of course, this wood was not cheap. At the time, Brazilian rosewood was used by Europeans primarily as a dye, which kept its price high, and few were willing to dry it for shipbuilding. The average price of the high-quality wood Blanquito brought was around 80 silver coins per tree, and this was already a friendly price; it would be difficult for others to buy it at this price.
"Fifty high-quality Brazilian rosewood trees, some iron ore, high-quality coal, and a large amount of cotton should satisfy the people of the East Coast," Blanquito thought to himself. He had come to Eastern Harbor many times, but never had his mood been as complex as it was today. The East Coast people, who had risen like a comet, had actually defeated the Spanish, who were at the height of their power. Their brilliance even stung the eyes of the Brazilians, represented by Blanquito, who had been quietly observing them.
It was important to note that at this moment, the Portuguese and Brazilians were being pushed back by the Dutch in Pernambuco. Their performance on the battlefield was like that of clowns, and compared to the new Dutch, the Portuguese were simply too old. The grand era of the Age of Discovery was the pinnacle of Portuguese glory, but after that, they declined rapidly. Not only did they lose their monopoly on Eastern trade to the Spanish and Dutch, but they also lost large territories in their colony of Brazil due to Dutch invasions.
The homeland was controlled by the Spanish, and Brazil was coveted by the Dutch; everything seemed so dire. Blanquito felt somewhat dispirited, but he forced himself to stay focused because he had to face the cunning Foreign Minister Gao of the East Coast. Brazil needed the weapons in the hands of the East Coast people.
The sailors from the Rodriguez Chamber of Commerce's cargo ships finished unloading the cattle and then decided to go into the city for a stroll. These rough sailors laughed and joked loudly, then left in a group.
