As expected, the statement from the Spanish Government and Carlo was once again disseminated in Portuguese newspapers, sparking widespread discussion among the Portuguese.
Previously, the Portuguese were fighting alone. Although they were extremely angry at the behavior of the British, they also knew that their government had no good solutions.
Now, with the public support of the Spanish Government and King of Spain, Carlo, it can be said that Portugal no longer has any worries and needn't humble themselves before the aggressive British.
On the side of the British Government, Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone naturally also noticed the public opinion dynamics of the two Iberian Peninsula countries.
Upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Gladstone angrily smashed several treasured artifacts. He did not expect Portugal to gain Spain's support and was surprised that the matter was leaked to the Portuguese, causing widespread public outrage.
