OOC: Foolishly? OOCly, I think the Spanish captain just wanted an excuse to sink some ships and left it there intentionally.
IC: The Kingdom of Spain notes that we have been patient with Brasil's attitude towards Spanish trade, going so far as to allow them to accompany our ships, when we did not have any obligation to do so. The captain in charge had an excellent conduct, escorting the Brazilian inspector out of the ship without any violence. Brazil has no right to declare that Spain cannot sell ships to Argentina, and it is quite hypocritical of them after receiving military aid from Germany.
