A Reforged World (NO SV, You are King of Italy, in a Greatly Changed World)

Could we be a bit less confrontational? We need more convincing than threat, heck we want him to be an ally and not an enemy.
 
if the talk fails I have a idea to get the ottomans as allies without everyone else hating us,we with the help of the ottomans blow up a fake ottoman ship near a Spanish Fort and pretend it was the Spanish, giving the ottomans a excuse to come in not technically as our allies but just a other power Spain pissed off.
 
Oh yeah I'm writing the Protestant reformation rumor mill.

You may need all the allies you can get.

So, basically, we pull a USS Maine a couple centuries early?
 
Another thing we should probably add, is well. The slaves will be a constant and unavoidable threat for the society he wants to build. Because much like every other point of history, slaves are still people, and when pushed too far, they WILL try to lash out.
 
potential ones from slaves only culled with foods decreasing in number..in terms of Empires such as yours."
Firstly, an ellipsis has three periods, not two.

Secondly, there should be a space between the ellipsis and the following word.

"You hear of the Egyptian pyramids?" He asks in concealed smile of wonder.
"in a concealed"?

yet after everything I've went through..this journey since my days as a street urchin
Firstly, that "went" should be either "been" or "gone". Personally, I think "been" fits better.

Secondly, see my previous points regarding ellipses.

to even becoming King of Italy..I've only realised one simple thing."
Firstly, see my previous points regarding ellipses (again).

Secondly, that "realised" should be "realized".

"Life is unfair for those who don't want to do the hardwork, of truly taking everything into consideration.
Firstly, "hard work" is two words, not one.

Secondly, either that comma shouldn't be there or that "of" should be a different word entirely.

I won't be shocked to find your eyes looking to the forbidden bosom of apples that would even make Adam and Eve become pale and completely hesitant to bite..even making the Serpent look at you as if you're the incarnation of Evil itself."
Once again, see my previous points regarding ellipses.
 
"What society do you want to build? Because to implement such a system is going to very quickly run into the problem of slaves being a threat, from sheer numbers if nothing else. Because what ratio of slaves to everyone else would you need? 3 to one, 10 to 1, 16 to one? It is almost certain the society built would be defined by the fear of their so-called lessers. Because even with all the lies one can make to help them sleep at night, the law of numbers can't be denied, and they'd know they gave lots of reasons for vengeance."

OTL, one of the big aspects of Southern USA culture, is being deathly afraid of their slaves taking up arms and exacting revenge on their 'masters'.

Well considering that Charles idea of slavery is similar to the ottomans or most other… evil empires… sterilization and work them to death…

He wouldn't need to worry too much about that… too much.

Charles is not a good person. I should remind you all.

....Oh god. The sheer logistics that demands...
He's gonna need to take over Africa to grow it's population solely to maintain the ever growing demand for workforce, due to every last one needing to be outsourced. And even then it might not be enough...
Trading a rebellion nightmare for a logistics nightmare, that WILL live and die based on his ability to ensure the worlds largest trade route remains undisturbed.
 
Lol. In a world in which we accept his offer, the collective aggro of the rest of Europe pissed off was about Italy and Spain splitting the new world between them sees the Mediterranean erupt into war, disrupting things anyway.

Well, we do have the best navy in the world, and Spain OTL was the dominant force, wielding the Spanish Armada. So it basically boils down to how able the British are at bloodying the last gen Spain and handling our next-gen fleet.
Though he may not be considering the possability of the coalition sneaking forces into Africa to cut the America project's manpower at it's source. Considering with some investment we could make our forces almost undefeatable.
 
Maybe point out how slavery is actually not profitable model with a lot of risks? If one cannot affect ones moral, affect their mind (if it still there). Make him look like an idiot, point at political, economical and other flaws of such system. Be purely rational about it. And If his intelligence is still intact, he will see it. Maybe not right away, but he will.​

Edit: Be cold, smart and shatter his pride.

A suggestion for if we go to war,pirates are currently scared of our navy and of us turning our attention to them,so how about we offer a deal any pirates that wish it shall be granted immunity from being murdered by our navy if they don't attack Italian ships and just attack the Spanish ships,and do give them some extra incentive we're pay them for each ship they take or sink aswell as paying them for any slaves freed from Spain.
Edit: this will help our navy and screw over Charles especially if the pirates start focusing on his slave ships the heart of his plan to free the slaves and get our money.

Ehh. They basically don't exist any more. Better bet is getting the English into the war. Henry wants to conquer territory in Continental Europe anyway.
