Empresa de China

Ever since our arrival to Indonesia, many have been arguing that the conquest of China is not only possible, but destined. Reports from merchants and envoys describe nations burdened by corruption that would stand no chance against the might of Country. Our spies have been hard at work infiltrating Target Country, and they believe that Target Location would be a perfect stepping stone for our eventual subjugation of the entirey of China.

historical_info = flavor_cas.148.historical_info Following the Spanish conquest of the Philippines, numerous officials and Jesuit missionaries proposed an ambitious plan called the Empresa de China, in which Spain was supposed to invade and convert Ming China. Jesuit missionaries who worked in China reported that the Empire was internally weak and could be easily conquered. In 1588, Philip II authorized preparations for the invasion, but it was ultimately never attempted and remains one of the most ambitious unrealized expansionist projects of the Spanish Empire.
