章 258: Chapter 237: Intervention by the Powers (Extra 2)

After quietly listening to Minister Kent's report, Arthur smiled and nodded, saying: "Brigadier Fritz has done a good job this time, I believe that after this rescue force is annihilated, the Portuguese should consider whether to continue opposing Australasia."

The combined regular Portuguese army from the previous three colonies only totaled three thousand men, not enough to make the Portuguese government realize the power of Australasia.

But now it's different, although the specific scale of this rescue force is unknown, the number of soldiers is definitely over ten thousand.

Even excluding the African natives used as cannon fodder, the number of Portuguese soldiers is definitely around ten thousand.

You know, Portugal is not exactly a large population country. Even until now, Portugal's population has just exceeded six million.
