- The British American colonies were occupied by the Song Empire. After the British mainland in Europe received the news, the country immediately became excited.
For a moment, someone clamored crazily to immediately mobilize warships to the Americas to safeguard the country's interests.
However, in the face of such turbulent public sentiment, the British royal family behaved very strangely.
Since the royal family received the news from America, they have not expressed any comments or opinions.
This makes everyone unable to understand.
¡°Subsequently, news came back that the city of Manhattan had seized a British merchant ship.
Those guys who were clamoring to mobilize warships and go to the Americas to safeguard national interests immediately stopped making noise.
As the news spread back to the UK, there were more than 200 British merchant ships in Manhattan.
This number is almost a quarter of all the warships owned by the United Kingdom.
I have to say that the Song Empire was too cruel. The British lost a quarter of their warships in one fell swoop, and the Song Empire itself gained more than 200 warships.
With all of a sudden one and the other rising, how could the British dare to say anything more?
¡°And the British themselves know why things turned out like this.
¡°If ordinary people knew that the royal family was engaged in a conspiracy, and as a result offended the Song Empire and cut off such a huge source of wealth, God knows what the people would do.
You know, in this era, you can have a hard time with the past, but you must not have a hard time with money.
Because money is everything in this era.
And some businessmen who are relatively well-informed certainly know what is going on behind this.
After all, the American Song Empire has announced the causes and consequences.
At the same time, the Song Empire made it clear that it did not want to give the British face.
From now on, the British will not be welcome in America.
Even. Even the British office in Manhattan was cancelled, and at the same time, the office staff, a small nobleman, was thrown into an American prison.
The British want to fight, but their naval losses are too great, and they still have to cross the Atlantic.
Not to mention supplies along the way, even when they got to the Americas, the sailors didn't have much energy anymore.
On the contrary, the Song Empire was different. They could wait for work at leisure, which already had a great advantage.
The Atlantic Ocean, for the Song Empire in America. This is a natural barrier.
What's more, the Song Empire originally heard that many heavily armored battleships had been put into use, and at the same time, many imitations of Dutch warships were built.
Now, coupled with the powerful British ships, its naval power may have exceeded the number of warships that Britain currently has.
Therefore, it would be unwise to start a war with the Song Empire now.
In the end, after much deliberation, the British had no choice but to knock out their front teeth and swallow it in their stomachs to suffer this big loss.
It¡¯s okay if they don¡¯t eat. Otherwise, what else can they do.
Unless you really don¡¯t care about anything, then gather all the warships, and then rush across the Atlantic to America to fight the Song Empire to the death.
"However, no one is such an idiot. Because it's no different than sending yourself to death.
¡°Besides, with so many ships, just supplies and stuff cost a lot of money.
Today¡¯s Britain is a typical silk country. Then come and get a lot of money.
Originally doing some business with Manhattan, I can still maintain it.
¡°But they idiotically offended the Song Empire, and now it¡¯s not just business that can¡¯t be done. Also lost more than 200 ships and the only two colonies in America.
The British suffered heavy losses.
After entering winter, the monsoon in the Atlantic also changed its direction. Even if the British had such plans, they would have no way to go to the American continent.
Unless they can endure the ordeal of traveling from England to Africa, and then from Africa to America.
But in this case, the time spent will not only be more than forty days.
No matter what, the current situation is very unfavorable for the UK.
The colonies on the American continent are of interest to the royal family.
But for the people at the bottom, the benefits are not very great.
In this war, British merchants suffered heavy losses.
If nothing else is said, just??The fact that Manhattan will no longer do business with the British is enough to make British businessmen burst into tears.
You know, now along the entire Mediterranean coast, products from the Americas are the best-selling.
"The British withdrew from Manhattan's commercial trade, and the first of them were the French and people from other countries.
After all, Manhattan products have their share.
Now that the British have withdrawn, this share of goods will definitely be distributed to other countries.
As for whether the British cry or not, it has nothing to do with you.
Of course, no one knows that the British suffered such a big loss.
But the British still figured out a way.
That is to issue a privateering license and let the warships under your command go to the Mediterranean or the Atlantic Ocean to plunder the ships of other countries.
In short, if you can¡¯t do business yourself, then other countries shouldn¡¯t want to do well either.
And this approach of the British suddenly caused chaos throughout Europe.
And the European warships began to be limited to the European Mediterranean, and the melee began for a century.
It can be said that Britain, the troublemaker, has messed up the entire history.
Of course, these are all things for later.
This order from the British royal family is still issued secretly.
Because of the losses in America, they plan to make up for it from other European countries.
At this time, the French were fighting with Spain.
At the same time, the Portuguese rebels also made the Spaniards miserable. In short, the entire Western Europe had no energy to pay attention to the British affairs.
"The Protestant coalition organized by the Dutch is confronting the church military forces in the Netherlands, and they are fighting back and forth. This caused Eastern Europe to become turbulent because of the war.
Therefore, even if the British colonies in America were captured by the Song Empire, no one would care about them at this time.
After hearing that the British colonies were captured by the Song Empire, the Spanish and Dutch felt that Central America might also be dangerous.
??But neither Spain nor the Netherlands. They all have their own troubles now and no longer have the experience to care about things on the American side.
Therefore, both sides prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that after the Song Empire took over the British colonies, they would never set their sights on the Caribbean.
Both the Spanish and the Dutch knew that in the autumn, they transferred a large part of the fleets and armies of the colonies along the Caribbean coast back to the mainland.
The military forces currently left in the colonies are simply not enough to fight against the Song Empire's army.
If the Song Empire really sets its sights on the Caribbean, then it will be in trouble.
But it¡¯s a pity. Their God is a false idol, so no matter how crazy they pray in their hearts, it is of no use.
Zhao Hongyu and his cronies have long been eyeing the rich Caribbean region.
Furthermore, if you want to rule the entire American continent, the Song Empire, a colony in the Caribbean, must be brought into your hands.
Now that the disgusting stumbling block of the British has been kicked away, what else does the Song Empire have to worry about?
And now we have a navy, and an army has been established, and has gone through several actual battles.
therefore. Now no one can stop the Song Empire's advance.
In the third winter since Zhao Hongyu came to this world, the war to attack the Caribbean Sea finally began.
Zhao Hongyu sighed, it has been two years since he came to this world.
When I first came to this era, I didn¡¯t think I could survive. And live so nourishingly.
But no matter what, now that he has such status and power, he will go to the next level.

Thirteen fleets all set off for the Caribbean. It can be said that the Song Empire established by Zhao Hongyu used all maritime power.
It also shows that Zhao Hongyu is bound to win Central America.
The war in the Caribbean. Not much use for the Army.
Basically, everything depends on the navy.
The navy has just been established, and the sailors are all genetic people cultivated from the time and space trader.
After half a month of intensive training, these genetic humans can barely operate the style battleship.
And this war against the Caribbean Sea is also a test for them, and at the same time it allows them to gain some experience in naval warfare.
After the fleet set off, Wang Shan sent the plans of the naval department and the military department to Zhao Hongyu's desk.
Zhao Hongyu picked up the battle plan and looked at it carefully, then raised his head and looked at Wang Shan standing in front of him.
"Your plan is to make a surprise attack? And take advantage of the enemy's paralysis to land and directly occupy the port?"
Seeing Zhao Hongyu's question, Wang Shan replied: "Yes, we gave it careful consideration when formulating this battle plan. Considering that we have not officially declared war on Spain or the Dutch, our fleet can fight against the Spanish or the Dutch." It¡¯s the Dutch port of call, so that gives us an opportunity, doesn¡¯t it?¡±
After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu narrowed his eyes.
Yes, Wang Shan is right.
?? War means using all possible means.
It¡¯s not that some insidious methods cannot be used, as long as the final result can satisfy you.
And according to Wang Shan, his fleet can achieve maximum results with minimum casualties.
Easily captured the Spanish and Dutch ports.
If you act quickly, before the Spanish and Dutch can react, you can almost occupy half of the Caribbean Sea in a devastating way.
By then, with a fleet with a base and territory, it will have a great advantage when fighting the Spanish and Dutch fleets.
Although going to war without declaring it will be criticized, as long as you have big fists and can achieve your ultimate goal, what does it matter?
This is not a stupid aristocratic duel. You have to tell the other party in the next letter of challenge that I am going to fight you here. You should prepare yourself.
¡°If Zhao Hongyu did this, he would probably be the most mentally retarded person in the world.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyu was deep in thought, Wang Shan continued: "Your Highness, any means of war can be used. As for other people's criticism or abuse, that's up to them. As long as we have the entire America in our hands, we can gain For the best interests of others, what does it matter if you scold or despise others?"
It turns out that Wang Shan was worried that Zhao Hongyu would complain about not declaring war, but also secretly using trade lies to deceive other ports.
So, this is the explanation.
¡°In fact, how did Wang Shan know that His Highness is not such an indecisive person.
Sure enough, after listening to Wang Shan¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu came back from his thoughts.
He looked at Wang Shan¡¯s somewhat uneasy expression and recalled what Wang Shan said just now. How could Zhao Hongyu still not understand what his confidant was worried about.
I saw him laughing loudly, and then said to Wang Shan: "Hahaha, Wang Shan. You kid, don't think nonsense, do you think I am that kind of idiot? Of course I know the truth of using all means in war, So you don¡¯t have to worry about it at all." Of course, Zhao Hongyu had to explain to his confidant. After saying these words, the expression on Wang Shan's face really relaxed.
Then, Zhao Hongyu asked: "Have you evaluated it? What is the success rate of this combat plan?"
Wang Shan immediately replied: "There is a 90% chance. As long as there are no accidents, this trick can be used forever. Of course we are not gods, and there are some factors that we cannot control. But when we made this plan , planning to only occupy half of the Central American colonies would be considered a success."
Wang Shan did not dare to say everything too fully. After all, there are many factors in war that are beyond human control.
¡° Moreover, many accidents will happen, and this thing is simply impossible to consider.
Therefore, Wang Shan adopted a more conservative attitude.
Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with Wang Shan¡¯s attitude.
"I have read this plan, and now the fleet has set off. Now we are just waiting here for news about them. I hope they can succeed."
Zhao Hongyu put the battle plan on the table, and then pushed it thinking about Wang Shan.
Wang Shan took a few steps forward, picked up the battle plan at his desk, and put it into the document bag under his arm.
"Your Highness, the New Year is just around the corner. So for this year's New Year, will the city under our control have to issue some laws? It's like a New Year holiday or something."
After talking about the Caribbean Raiders, Wang Shan started talkingTurning to the issue of Chinese New Year.
Yes, it¡¯s already the cold winter season, and the Chinese New Year is about to come.
Zhao Hongyu spent his first winter in a small Indian tribe, and there was no concept of celebrating the New Year at all.
The winter of the second year was still under construction in Manhattan, so it didn¡¯t happen.
It is now the third winter, and Zhao Hongyu now owns three large cities and five towns that are still developing.
Now he should think about celebrating the New Year and have a good time with everyone. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
