In 1691, King Conan I (75 years old) presented his great strategic plan to his two sons, Jean (53 years old) and Hercule (49 years old).

In “1”, the next war against Holland and Spain should make it possible to seize the rich lands of Patagonia which should become a priority settlement area.

In “2” it is necessary to neutralize Portuguese Pernambuco in the 1710s. It can serve as a base for a European attack.

Then they must turn towards the sea with in “3” exploring the southern lands and establishing colonies from 1720/1730.

In “4” they must begin to establish counters in India to develop a powerful merchant navy from 1720/1730 and no longer be dependent on European merchants.

In “5” they must conquer Portuguese and especially Dutch southern Africa. Possible from 1750.

In “6” all European colonies in Asia must be conquered: Ceylon, Indonesia, Philippines. To be completed in 1800.

The conquest of all of South America in “7” is not a priority, if the opportunity presents itself.

Thus the kingdom of the Bretons of Brazil must reign over the southern world and its seas. He must deploy his colonists on virgin lands and spread the Catholic faith among pagans and heretics.

The main enemy is designated: Holland.
