The order to occupy San Diego was secretly issued to the marines on each battleship. At ten o'clock in the evening the next day, the genetic warriors completed their preparations.
What they have to wait for is that after night falls, they can start taking action.
With the cover of night, their actions can be very easy.
In order to paralyze the Spanish garrison in San Diego, Chelsea sent people to inform the administrative officials here that the fleet would leave early the next morning for South America.
Regarding the news that the Imperial Fleet was about to leave, the Spanish administrative officials in San Diego were relieved but at the same time very confused.
¡°I was relieved because the Imperial Fleet did not do anything untoward.
The troubling thing is that the sailors of the Imperial Fleet are very rich and spend their money very generously here in San Diego. In just three days, the incomes of all walks of life in San Diego have doubled.
For an imperial fleet that is so generous and can boost the local economy, how could the Spaniards and the merchants here not want them to stay a few more days.
In this way, with mixed emotions of joy and disappointment, the Spaniards accepted this reality.
Because of this, the Spaniards temporarily relaxed their vigilance against the imperial fleet.
After all, everyone has to leave here, right?
Therefore, there is no need to continue monitoring.
??Besides, the Imperial fleet has been very disciplined in the past three days and has not done anything out of the ordinary.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: People are here to replenish supplies and have no interest in San Diego.
Therefore, most people believe that worry is completely unnecessary.
Chelsea¡¯s approach paralyzed the Spaniard very well.
At the same time, in order to paralyze the Spaniards even more, the fleet sailors and marines were dispatched at dusk. Once again, groups appeared in the commercial area near the pier to get drunk.
Around ten o¡¯clock in the evening, the dock business district slowly became deserted.
And those sailors and soldiers who deliberately indulged themselves also used their own excuses to leave San Diego the next day, so they returned to the dock and boarded the battleship.
Time passed by and midnight came quickly.
At this time, the pier was already deserted, with few pedestrians visible.
Except for one or two Spanish sentries, there are only a few cats meowing occasionally.
Because they relaxed their vigilance, the Spanish sentries were no longer so nervous and always stared at the direction where the fleet was docked.
And then midnight comes. They began to doze off.
In the battleships of the imperial fleet, the genetic soldiers were sleeping and replenishing their sleep, waiting for the early morning attack time to arrive.
Yes, the battle plan time is at half past two in the morning.
This time period is when the human body is most sleepy, and it is also when people enter deep sleep.
Launching an attack at such a time, the Spaniards had no time to react.
On the deck of the battleship, observers were always paying attention to the situation of the Spanish sentries on the dock, and immediate responses were given to Chelsea and the others in the war room.
As time passed slowly, it soon came to half past one in the morning.
The genetic soldiers resting in the battleship. They were all called out softly.
And under the dim lights of the dock, several dark shadows flashed quickly.
But the dozing sentries didn¡¯t notice it at all.
"Everything is normal and the attack can begin."
Chelsea looked at her pocket watch. Then he nodded to the surrounding sergeants and gave the order to attack.
The soldiers began to walk onto the deck from the cabin, and the landing board on the outside of the battleship was also lowered and extended to the shore.
"Hey. Look at how there are so many people on the Song Empire's battleships and what they are doing. Could it be hmm!"
A Spanish sentry noticed something was wrong. But before he finished speaking, a black figure appeared from behind him and hugged him.
The extremely sharp blade slashed across his throat, and his lifeless body fell to the ground twisted and twisted.
His companions were killed in the same way before they could react.
Afterwards, their bodies were dragged into the dark street corner.
After the Marines landed, they began to run towards their respective targets according to the plan.
? ?The Spanish sentries on the road were all eliminated one by one by the scouts.
Therefore, when the troops arrived at their respective target buildings, they encountered no trouble along the way.
Government buildings, magistrate's residences, Spanish military camps, dock posts
Dividing line
"Why are you doing this? There is no friction between Spain and your empire."
After an hour of fighting, San Diego easily fell into the control of the empire.
And the entire city has changed its owner, but the people in this city don't know it yet.
The imperial troops encountered little resistance at all, and the Spanish surrendered.
The reason why it took an hour was that we included the waiting starting from 1:30 and the travel time on the road.
The Spanish soldiers were all gathered together and imprisoned, and the San Diego administrator was brought in front of Chelsea.
This administrative official, who was wearing pajamas and was captured in his own mansion while sleeping, was still a little confused about the situation at this moment.
He didn¡¯t know why the empire suddenly launched such a large formation to attack them?
So, when he saw Chelsea, he questioned loudly.
Faced with the question from the Spanish administrator in pajamas, Chelsea simply replied: "San Diego is now under the control of our empire. Not only San Diego, all the Spanish colonial interests in Central America will belong to the empire." all."
¡°After listening to Chelsea¡¯s words, if this administrator still doesn¡¯t understand, then he is really a pig.
Before the administrator could curse or beg for mercy, Chelsea waved his hand and had him taken away.
"Your Excellency, what should we do with the Spanish soldiers and officials?"
Chelsea¡¯s Chinese adjutant came over at this time and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Chelsea thought for a while: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
The adjutant suggested: "We have already occupied San Diego, but we are about to go to the next target. Although we have to leave some garrison here. But the number of garrison will definitely not be too many, so these Spanish officials and those soldiers, We will use extraordinary means to deal with it to avoid possible trouble in the future."
Chelsea looked stern, and he understood what the adjutant meant.
After thinking about it carefully, Chelsea thought to herself: As the adjutant said, it is impossible for him to leave too many garrison troops. After all, he will soon have a plan to occupy the next colony. The number of garrison troops left had to guard the city, so it was impossible to allocate too many manpower to watch over the Spaniards.
¡° But these Spaniards would be a disaster if they stayed. They are all warriors and can fight as long as they pick up weapons.
If something unexpected happens and they run out.
¡° Then there will be big trouble here in San Diego.
¡°Then let¡¯s get rid of these Spanish officials and soldiers, but do it quickly!¡±
Although Chelsea couldn¡¯t bear to massacre the prisoners.
But he knew that this was the best solution at hand.
Because without the presence of these people, the garrison can fully control the situation in San Diego in a short period of time.
In this way, you can devote all your energy. They all focus on attacking the next target.
The adjutant who advised Chelsea did not immediately convey the order after leaving.
Instead, he left the headquarters and came to a dark corner on the street outside.
"Chelsea accepted my suggestion without much reaction. It seems that his mind has slowly begun to accept the empire's governing policy. He has been slowly assimilated by us. This is recorded and we will continue to observe."
It turns out that this genetic man is not only Chelsea¡¯s adjutant. He was also the person placed by the Intelligence Department to monitor and observe him.
The reason why Wang Shan did this was just in case.
After all, Chelsea has a very high status and belongs to the top of the fleet.
?????????? Plus he¡¯s a European. So Wang Shan had to pay more attention to him.
Zhao Hongyu also turned a blind eye to Wang Shan's actions, but he knew it well.
It¡¯s always better to be careful, and it¡¯s better than actually getting into trouble later.
If Chelsea really has any ideas in the future, the Intelligence Department will solve it as soon as possible.With him, hidden dangers disappear.
After contacting the personnel of the Intelligence Department in the fleet, the adjutant left the street and found a group of soldiers to deliver Chelsea's order to the captain.
Then, he temporarily requisitioned this group of soldiers and took them to the venue where the Spaniards were imprisoned.
The Chinese adjutant was preparing to deal with the imprisoned Spanish soldiers in the end. He first arranged for the soldiers to strengthen their supervision, and then went to the place where the Spanish officials were imprisoned.
When he got there, he conveyed Chelsea¡¯s order to the imperial sergeants who were guarding these officials, and then they began to bring out the Spanish officials one by one and deal with them quietly.
It didn¡¯t take much time to deal with these officials, and it was completed in about half an hour.
Subsequently, the soldiers began to dig pits and bury the bodies of the slain Spanish officials collectively.
And the adjutant led the team back to the venue where the Spanish soldiers were detained, and began to continue the massacre in an orderly manner.
Overnight, San Diego changed its owner, and all the Spanish soldiers and officials were killed from every tribe.
Early the next morning, people in San Diego opened their doors and discovered that something was not right.
It took a long time for someone to figure out what was wrong.
The original Spanish flag hanging on the administrative office building has disappeared, replaced by the five-star red flag of the Song Empire.
The Spanish soldiers who usually patrolled were also gone and turned into uniformed imperial soldiers.
Because San Diego is a Spanish colony, there are many Spanish immigrants and a small number of Mayans living in this city.
Although the Spanish military power has been solved overnight.
But how to stabilize the Spanish people in the city is also a problem that needs to be solved immediately.
Show off force and make public announcements.
At noon the next day, Chelsea prepared a grand military parade and entered the city. At the same time, it was announced in public in the central square of the city that San Diego had been occupied by the Empire and had been incorporated into the Empire's territory.
At the same time, Chelsea announced the empire¡¯s laws and tax rates in public.
The people of San Diego finally realized what had happened.
"It's good to be honest, the owner of San Diego has changed, and the Song Empire is simply starting an undeclared war.
But what more people are curious about is that San Diego changed hands in one night. How did the people of the Song Empire do it?
And where did the original Spanish garrison and Spanish officials go?
Those people seem to have disappeared.
"The Spanish immigrants living in San Diego are a little worried.
They don¡¯t know how the new ruler will treat them.
Those Mayans don't care. To them, it's just a change of rulers. This is nothing special.
It doesn¡¯t matter who rules San Diego.
Besides, compared to the penniless Spaniards, the generous Song Empire people were more popular with the Mayans.
¡°And the tax rate announced by Chelsea just now is more than ten times lower than when the Spaniards ruled.
In other words, I will no longer have to worry about those high taxes in the future, and I will have some extra money on hand every year.
This is a good thing.
Of course, some people are cautiously concerned about this.
These issues are not something Chelsea has to consider.
After he announced the tax rate and promulgated the laws of the empire, he appointed the trusted consul of San Diego. After leaving a fleet of thirty-six warships and an army of three thousand men, he set off for a target.
And Chelsea left San Diego, and then the new rulers began to register the residents.
Whether they are Spaniards or Mayans, the political officials who visit will ask them whether they want to stay or return to Spain.
They gave two options.
If people want to return to Spain, they will have to give up their property in San Diego.
The empire has ships that can take them back to the Spanish mainland.
If those who stay, they must participate in study (brainwashing) in the future and then become citizens of the empire.
As for becomingThe administrative officials have made it clear to these people about the welfare benefits that U.S. citizens can enjoy in the future, as well as the obligations they must bear in response.
As for how to choose, that is a matter for these Spanish immigrants.
But one thing the administrative officer knows very well is that the Spanish immigrants who choose to leave San Diego will never be sent back to Spain. What awaits them will be a journey to hell.
