Background info-

The Spanish Empire is still dealing with the aftermath of the Seven Years War in which, it lost Florida to the British, but it did gain Louisiana in exchange.  However the colony of Louisiana is rebellious one, hence the need to maintain a large garrison to maintain law and order.  Yet outside of Lower Louisiana, Spanish influence was limited by terrain and lack of major settlements.  For other remote regions of the empire like California, there is a push to build more missions(trading post) to fortify Spain influence in the area and counter potential other powers like Britain or Russia from moving in.  As for what is now rl Texas, its consider a secondary backwater area not worthwhile for settlement since its full of hostile Native Americans, there are a few missions and settlements, but nothing of real value at this point in time. Plus Louisiana is more valuable at this time.


Overall sheer scope and size of its American colonies provide Spain with great wealth, however it makes Spain very dependent on that flow of wealth to maintain its power in Europe. For now, there is thorn on Spain side that is British holdings of Gibraltar and Minorca( Port Mahon)....

The Spanish Crown, concerned over the rising cost of military expenditures - especially with regards to regulars being deployed overseas in the vast Spanish Empire - has continued its attempts to reduce costs, mainly by raising local militias and colonial units among their colonies. These units are typically mixed race - white Spaniards, mestizoes, free blacks, and Indians - and are to be relied on for local defense. It is hoped that these units will be better able to deal with local Indians, as well as provide the core of defense needed to see off raiders and attacks from other European powers during potential wars.

In New Spain, José de Gálvez, Inspector of the Indies, has meanwhile ordered the handing over of the existing mission system to the Franciscan Order, removing the missions from under the control of the Spanish Army. He also begins preparations and plans for scouting and exploration expeditions into Alta California, which has long been seen as a potential area for expansion. The old port of Monterrey, first visited by Spanish explorers in 1602, is considered as a likely stop and potential outpost...

In mid 1770, Portolá expedition returns with details maps of California coast. Captain Gaspar de Portolá and missionary Junípero Serra provide the following recommendations to the Viceroy in terms of building a missionary system in California. They recommend the following areas to have a missions(trading post) with a fort built as soon as possible to insure Spanish influence is established formally.

The slow-rolling Falklands Crisis continues to be a point of irritation and concern for the court of Charles III; in response to the ongoing lack of results and the mobilization of British assets, the Spanish have also begun cautious preparations by concentrating their fleets and dispatching reinforcements to the New World. It is considered relatively fortunate that the new program of raising local militias has begun to bear fruit to increase the defenses of many of the important points Spain's empire. Some infantry regiments are shuffled around - most notably, the three regiments in Mexico City are ordered to move to Cuba or New Orleans, while more ships are dispatched from the metropole to provide a larger "fleet-in-being" in the Caribbean.

By spring, 1771, the Spanish Fleet in the western hemisphere is expected to be organized into three parts:

Naval Department of Cadiz
2 BB1
16 BB2
4 FF1

Naval Department of Cartegna
2 BB1
12 BB2
4 FF1

Armada de Barlovento (Windward Squadron, Havana)
10 BB2
8 FF1
10 PatRon

However, the diplomats are expected to find a peaceful resolution to the problem and more pressure is applied to try and find an understanding.

[Kilani]

The pall of war has fallen over the Kingdom; however, Charles III has successfully helped steer the country through other crises before and now he and his court must do so again.

The Spanish reach out to the Italian states and banks for the possibility of financing lines of credit and potentially hiring of troops, if needed.

Despite the on-going war, there are still administrative and economic reforms in the works. There has long been grumbling in Rio de la Plata regarding its subservience to the Viceroyalty of Peru and the need for imports to travel through Lima before arriving in the Plata area (a long, torturous journey and as such Buenos Aires has become a smuggling haven). In light of the on-going conflict and wishing to ensure both loyalty and to ease restrictions on his subjects, Charles III and his ministers decree the creation of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata and appoint Pedro Antonio de Cevallos, the former military governor of Buenos Aires, as its first Viceroy.

One of his first actions is to introduce a Law of Free Commerce, by which Buenos Aires can trade directly with Spain and forbids the movement of silver out of the Viceroyalty in a bid to increase economic development of the new Viceroyalty.

The naval defeat off of Cadiz and the loss of the Canary Islands are a heavy blow to the Spanish court, but the taking of the Sugar Islands and other good news from the Caribbean off-set that somewhat. The loss of shipping is heavy, but somewhat expected considering the British naval dominance; however, there is a great deal of worry about maintaining the shipping lanes to the Americas and the wealth of Spain's American colonies. There is other consternation regarding the invasion of Texas, if only because the Spanish have no wish to see the territory as a bargaining chip at any future peace conference. Most of the territory is sparsely settled and filled with what Spain considers to be hostile savages of various sorts.

However, it also provides a buffer between the heartland of New Spain and the rest of the continent - especially if Britain succeeds in obtaining Louisiana. Attempts at negotiations via the Genoese court founder when the British present untenable terms - essentially demanding all of Louisiana, the Sugar Islands, Texas, Spain's African enclaves and the Falklands in return for handing back the Canaries and ceding their claim on Minorca and the sheer temerity and arrogance of the British inflame public opinion in Spain when it's made known.

There is some slack remaining in the Spanish budget (1.5 points) and it is hastily earmarked for use in the Americas as the theater of war expands (.5 each to the Cherokee, Comanche, and Chicksaw to maintain their neutrality or buy loyalty; the Choctaw have already sided with the British and so are considered a mostly lost cause for the time being and various other tribes are considered too small or too far away to currently bother with or other outreach efforts are under way). The Spanish have long skirmished with the Comanche in light of a serious war coming to the borders of New Spain, efforts are made to reach out to them to attempt to settle affairs with them once and for all.

The Viceroy of New Spain dispatches messengers in an attempt to conduct negotiations with both the western and eastern bands and tribes. Although the Comanche do raid border settlements, they also trade with the Spanish in both New Mexico and Texas and it is hoped that the Comanche can be persuaded to make peace with promises of assistance against the Comanche's traditional enemies, the Apaches, and regular trade (or tribute) of maize, firearms, and other manufactured goods (something that the Spanish will point out they are in a much better position to provide than the British, considering the relative closeness of New Spain and Mexico City). Among those dispatched is a young gunsmith and trader named Pedro Vial, who has lived among the various "savage tribes" for some time...

Although no other funds are available, outreach is made to other tribes in the Louisiana area pledging more trade and goods in the coming year. Efforts are made to send word north as well, although considering the long distances, it will be difficult to tell what (if any) manage to get up the Mississippi.

Winter, 1774

Carlos III is stunned by both the losses at Gibraltar and then the news in late January that New Orleans has been taken by the British, albeit at a heavy, heavy cost. He withdraws, very briefly, into his private apartments for a day or two while his cabinet and ministers debate on what actions to undertake. Diplomatic notes are being exchanged between the Spanish and British governments and the terms offered are considered currently unacceptable; Spain to cede all of the Louisiana territory north of Red River and East of the Sabine, as well as the Falklands, with only the minor consolation prize of Menorca being returned to Spanish control.

He emerges from his self-contemplation with a grim determination to continue the fight; too many Spaniards have died, too much blood has spilled because of English perfidy and aggression for Spain to be humiliated on the world-stage once again. He knows that by instructing his kingdom to continue the war, he faces grave risks - but national honor and, as his court sees it, the future of their American Empire is at stake. British control of the Mississippi, New Orleans, and Florida means a dagger aimed at Havana and the Spanish Caribbean - and potentially Mexico.

The war will go on.

The war will go on.

For now there was strong support along the classes to keep fighting the war, however there growing concern of heavy importation of colonial silver to get more loans to cover the cost of the war effort is becoming a item of concern for some in the King's court. Long term they know will cause more stagnation to the local Spanish economy.

However the war efforts does allow for ship building industry to boom, allowing Spain gain new Craft Center at Ferrol.


Meanwhile in the colonies, a growing number of the local ruling class are becoming aware of how dependent Madrid is on them for manpower and raw materials. For now they just more focus on fighting the war, long term a new set of ideas are taking root...

[Kilani]

The discussion of the 1774 budget is intense; despite the ongoing war, peace does seem to be in the offing. However, the war is not yet over and so it is decided that war spending most continue for the time being. There is also a discussion of (hopefully) post-war reforms and adjustments to be made to spending. Among the main points:

*The overseas Viceroyalties must be authorized to maintain standing bodies of colonial troops and militia to supplement Spanish regulars; said troops would still fall under the command of Spanish regular officers and the various captain-generals and viceroys, but colonial manpower is deeply important.

*The necessity of building more colonial fortifications; this is an extension of lessons learned in earlier wars, but extensive networks of forts and fortresses must be established through the American colonies to serve as bases, depots, and deterrents to attack.

*The necessity of maintaining a larger frigate fleet; although the Spanish battle-line performed admirably throughout the war, even winning several victories over the British (and only suffering one truly crippling defeat due to being outnumbered), the lack of smaller cruisers to protect shipping lanes and providing scouting ability proved highly detrimental.

There are also post-war plans drawn up for the redistribution of fleet power to protect various colonial interests.

Between 1776 and 1786, the navy loses six three-decker vessels to various accidents - fire, storms, wreck, or simply vanishing at sea. However, construction already underway is enough to make up the losses and continued expansion is under way. Similarly, three smaller frigates are also lost, as well as six brigs and sloops of various types.
