"You're fighting the SPANISH and you can't win? My God, they make the French look skilled. Not only did they lose to Carthage, they lost to Rome. Then they lost to Vandals. Then they lost to Visigoths. Then they lost to the Muslims. Then they lost to the Spanish. I mean, really. Then their navy got pwned by England.
