- exercise?
Carlos, the Spanish administrator of San Diego, was a little confused.
If it was just a maritime exercise, why did these Song Empire fleets come to Central America?
And there are hundreds of warships.
This is very unreasonable.
Although he was very confused about this, he didn't think much about it.
After all, the Song Empire¡¯s fleet did not show any malicious intent.
And with so many people docking at the Port of San Diego, those crews entering San Diego will bring great development to the local economy.
You know, the sailors of the Song Empire were all very wealthy.
By spending a small amount of money in San Diego, each of them can improve the local economy a lot.
Overall, this is a good thing.
In this case, Lu Carlos agreed.
When officials in San Diego conveyed the news of the administrator¡¯s agreement to Fleet Commander Chelsea, Chelsea felt reassured.
As the first former British captive to surrender to the Song Empire, Chelsea¡¯s current status is the highest among all European citizens.
Now, he has become the commander of the imperial fleet, which can be said to be lower than tens of thousands of people.
Of course, there are many Chinese genetic adjutants under his command, as well as middle and low-level non-commissioned officers to act as checks and balances.
Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan will not fail to take this into consideration.
Some time ago, Chelsea accompanied Zhao Hongyu on a trip to Europe. During this trip, Zhao Hongyu saw Chelsea's taciturn and dedicated attitude in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
Zhao Hongyu is still very satisfied with Chelsea¡¯s performance.
Based on his performance, Chelsea has now integrated into the Empire and accepted his role as a citizen of the Empire.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Hongyu considered appointing Chelsea as the fleet commander of the Caribbean Raiders and letting him perform.
Chelsea has become a flag among the European citizens of the empire. and role models.
Through Chelsea, the empire also sent a signal to European citizens, telling them that as long as they were loyal to the empire, they could also become nobles, or have status and wealth.
People, you must have a role model and a goal, so you can have greater passion, right?
"Sir, San Diego has agreed for us to dock, so shall we enter the port immediately?"
After receiving the notice from San Diego, the Chinese adjutant asked.
Chelsea smiled sinisterly, and then said: "Everything is as assessed by the General Staff Headquarters. As long as we don't show any malice, the other party will not be too vigilant. And in order to make our losses smaller, There is nothing wrong with this. Enter port immediately, and convey my orders at the same time. Everyone should be alert. Tomorrow night we will capture San Diego."
With Chelsea¡¯s order issued, the fleet slowly sailed into the San Diego port.
San Diego is indeed a major Caribbean port established by the Spanish for more than a hundred years. All three to four hundred warships of the Song Empire can enter and arrange berths.
Standing on your deck. Seeing the sailors on the surrounding ships shouting slogans to lower the sails and turning the wheel locks to lower the anchor into the sea, Chelsea felt excited.
It has been more than a year or two since he joined the empire. Originally, he was just a handyman on a British merchant ship. But by chance, he became a prisoner of the empire.
But with his vision and cleverness, he took refuge in the crown prince and became his "confidant", and now he is the commander of the imperial fleet.
But it¡¯s a pity that he still doesn¡¯t have a good record. He came to prove to the world that he did not get all this from Chelsea by flattering him.
Among the European citizens in Manhattan, many people say behind his back that he has such a status. In fact, it is just relying on flattery.
In fact, he has no ability at Chelsea.
Those who said this were originally very experienced European captains. Their experience and understanding of the sea were indeed better than Chelsea's.
But Chelsea is doing better than them now.
So, it¡¯s not surprising that these people would say weird things behind their backs.
Because these guys are jealous of themselves and envious of themselves.
In the eyes of those people, Chelsea, who was just a handyman, could do things.It will be better if left to them.
The warships of the Song Empire were very strong and had more powerful artillery.
It is easy for them to command these fleets and attack any country.
So, they look down on Chelsea.
Because Chelsea is not as experienced as them, and the Song Empire¡¯s warships are powerful, Chelsea can get meritorious service without any effort.
Chelsea understands all of this.
But he didn¡¯t want to argue with those guys because of this.
He joined the empire at the earliest time, and also has the status of a bannerman, subordinate to the deputy commander of the Zhengbai Banner. He is an aide-de-camp under the crown prince's father-in-law and has a distinguished status.
Therefore, he cannot lose his status.
"Hmph, these guys don't know anything. The Early Song Empire didn't ask you to have fighting talent, nor did it ask you to be brave. Because this is of no use in the empire. With the strength of the empire's ships and artillery, personal bravery has no place at all.
The empire¡¯s requirements are very simple, that is, you need to be obedient.
Tactics and strategies are formulated by the General Staff Headquarters. You only need to strictly follow the battle plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters to implement the strategy.
??Absolutely don¡¯t do unnecessary things.
Only in this way can you be a qualified commander.
Chelsea understand this all too well.
It is precisely because he is obedient and honest that he was favored and selected as the commander of the Caribbean Raiders.
And before setting off, he also got a hint from Crown Prince Zhao Hongyu that after the success of the Caribbean strategy, Chelsea would be appointed as the deputy governor of the Caribbean and at the same time in charge of the military deputy chief of the army and navy.
Chelsea has no objection to this.
Being a deputy is very good, and he also understands that with his status, he has to work hard to become a formal chief officer.
Chelsea is not a very ambitious person, he is very easy to be satisfied.
And Zhao Hongyu likes it. It's exactly this.
Those guys who are making sarcastic remarks behind their backs and are jealous of Chelsea, even though they are really more talented than Chelsea.
But they are ambitious and arrogant and difficult to manage, so Zhao Hongyu would rather choose Chelsea than them.
Of course, those captains with rich experience are still qualified to manage a warship.
Zhao Hongyu has also been paying attention to these people. They will become captains of a battleship in the future. But their status will only stay here, who makes them not as obedient as Chelsea.
"Tell everyone. Have a good rest today. Wait for the signal tomorrow, everything will be as usual."
While Chelsea was thinking wildly, his body shook and he felt the hull of the heavy battleship hit something hard.
This is what happened when the battleship hit the dock when it docked.
Afterwards, Chelsea gave her instructions to her Chinese adjutant.
The adjutant nodded and immediately turned around and left.
"If someone from San Diego comes to me and asks me to attend a banquet, just say that I am not feeling well. I don't want to expose any flaws during the banquet."
Chelsea are very cautious. He gave instructions to his guards.
Then, he walked into his captain's room.
At the San Diego port pier, Spanish immigrants and the local Mayan people walked out of their homes and came to the pier. Watch curiously the fleet from the Song Empire.
These people have also heard about the empire that appeared in the north and have long been curious about it.
Since they have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes today, how could they let go of such an opportunity.
Some brave Mayans. He even boarded his own boat at the pier, slowly rowed closer to the imperial warship, and approached the busy sailors on the deck. Sell ??your own fruits or women
At this time, it was dusk, and a ray of sunset on the horizon was slowly falling into the sea.
The golden light shines on the sea, reflecting the golden light dots.
At the end of the sky, a red fire cloud appeared there, decorating the sky like a dream.
The coconut trees on the shore swayed in the wind, and seagulls surrounded the battleship, constantly making "àÓàÓ" sounds.
The Mayans have big earlobes with thick ornaments stuffed inside and blue patterns tattooed on their faces. They wear their own national costumes or Spanish costumes and hold bananas, coconuts and fire lotus in their hands.Fruits and other fruits could not stop being sold to the sailors on the deck.
What¡¯s more, on a small boat, there were three or four Mayan women standing in Spanish costumes, holding a parasol, and posing in front of the sailors.
In European ports, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
The poor Mayans, after being conquered by the Spanish, even learned this little thing from the Europeans.
The genetic sailors are not very interested in women, but they are still willing to buy some fresh fruits.
Therefore, the Mayan vendors who were brave enough to sell fruits were all smiling.
San Diego is located in the tropics. Although North America is already a land of ice and snow, it is still very hot here in San Diego.
Many vendors selling fruit are still shirtless.
It is precisely because it is located in a tropical area that the fruits sold here are very fresh and delicious.
If the fleet goes further south, the temperature will be even higher.
Taking advantage of the dusk, the sky was not completely dark, and those Mayan hawkers seeing the Song Empire were easy to deal with, and they slowly became daring.
They kept going back and forth between the dock and the warship, transporting fruit back and forth, hoping to make a fortune in a short time.
You know, these fruits are worthless in San Diego because they are everywhere.
Today, I finally came to such a grievance. If they do n¡¯t pit it, it ¡¯s really sorry for themselves. - Didn't finish reading?
