Chapter 262: Chapter 239: "London Contract"

The statement from the Portugal Republic Party caused a sensation in Portugal and quickly spread across much of Europe, becoming one of the most talked-about topics among European citizens in recent times.

Of course, this was also beneficial for Australasia, as it could quickly clear itself of suspicion for the assassination of King Carlos I of Portugal and immediately gain more goodwill from European citizens.

After all, Australasia and Portugal were at war, and the Portuguese people were already beginning to oppose Carlos I's rule, even harboring goodwill toward the enemy nation of Australasia.

In contrast to Carlos I, Australasia and Arthur were seen as the most righteous side.

As the saying goes, without comparison, there can be no harm. Carlos I sought to maintain his autocratic rule and used the conflict with Australasian fishermen to establish a loving and fearless image for himself among his subjects.
