In the port of Santo Domingo, the pouring rain has stopped, but the sky is already covered with clouds. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky was overcast, the sea breeze was whistling, and wave after wave rushed from a distance to the embankment at the mouth of the Osama River, crashing into the shore and breaking into a splash. On a hill near the port of Santo Domingo sat a group of students, one or twenty, who were students of the port school, and the school they attended was just behind the hill. It was originally an arms storage warehouse for the Spanish defenders, but the elementary school was now set up there when Chen Han's officials officially landed at the port of Santo Domingo.

A group of pupils, who were generally between seven or eight years old and early tens, were a group of children, but none of them were frightened by the roar of the cannons. The Spanish island has not been stable for years, the sound of gunfire has become commonplace for them, and these children have lived in the days of gunfire since birth. Now, they just looked at the warship that was firing not far away with a heavy heart.

It was a warship flying the flag of Port-au-Prince, but even these young children knew that there were no Western-style warships in Port-au-Prince to the west, and that Petion could only build the simplest sampan. Then it is worth thinking about where they came from, and even where the sailors who operated the battleship above came from. Although they are not capital ships such as the third-class sail battleships, they also have a fourth-class sail battleship at the head.

The ships sailed from Port-au-Prince to Santo Domingo, and although they encountered heavy winds and rains during the voyage, the fleet was fortunate not to be blown away. On the contrary, the wind and rain also covered their tracks, and no one in Rabe of Santo Domingo could have imagined that the troops in Port-au-Prince would be killed so suddenly.

After the heavy rain subsided today, the flotilla rode into the port of Santo Domingo and shelled the defenders' camp.

And the cannons in the port of Santo Domingo had been removed by the time the Spaniards withdrew, and the armies of Santo Domingo were pinned down by each other, and no one could completely control the port at the mouth of the Osama River, so naturally no one would put their precious cannons in this place. As a result, they are now powerless.

The warships of Port-au-Prince blocked the door and attacked them with naval guns outside the port of Santo Domingo. At first, they shelled more than a kilometer, and slowly became bolder, and gradually approached. First one kilometer, then eight hundred meters, then seven hundred meters, and finally stuck at the point of five hundred meters, five warships lined up. At the same time, the three transport boats in the rear were putting small boats down, and groups of black soldiers were rowing towards the pier with all their might.

Looking out over Santo Domingo from the top of the hill, the children felt like the whole city was covered in smoke and dust. The teachers at the school did not let them go home, so they stayed in the school and waited for the results. The children were very obedient, and although they ran to the top of the mountain, none of them mentioned going home.

More and more buildings in the docklands are being destroyed, and it seems that there is nothing left to threaten the warships, and they are likely to be emboldened to close the distance even further, just to continue shelling targets in depth on land.

However, the ferocious fire of the naval guns was not aimed at the civil buildings of the city, and only by looking at the landing points of the shells, it was either the official [Rabe] building, or the barracks fortifications and the like, at least in their vicinity, you can see the purpose of the armed forces in Port-au-Prince, and it can also be seen that they are fully aware of the situation in Santo Domingo. But fortunately, the safety of the citizens in the city is still guaranteed. Otherwise, five warships and hundreds of guns would be bombarded indiscriminately on the city, and the civilians of Santo Domingo would surely suffer.

The children looked at the warship not far away, and their expressions were gloomy.

They are living happily ever after.

Yes, if you are well fed, warmly dressed, and able to study, isn't this a happy life? But now it's all broken.

No matter how powerful Chen Han cleans up Port-au-Prince in the future, everything in Santo Domingo will not be able to go back to the past.

The students in the school should be the beneficiaries of the current situation, they looked at the five warships firing non-stop, a child in his early tens, but the height has grown to one meter six or seven, sighed and said: "Is General Rabe really going to be finished?" So what do we do next? ”

One of Chen's biggest supporters in Santo Domingo was the black general Juan Rosario Rabe. He was the number one powerful faction in Santo Domingo, with more than 2,000 men in his hands, and he was the first to express his welcome when Chen Han sent a representative to Santo Domingo.

In the days that followed, Rabe became Chen Han's representative in Santo Domingo. At the same time, under the guidance of the official representative of Chen Han, he worked hard to restore the economy, develop education, and formulate land laws in the areas under his control, which distributed the land of the French plantation owners to his officers and soldiers and landless peasants.

Many of the parents of this group of children are beneficiaries of this policy.

"I think the troops in Port-au-Prince will probably occupy Santo Domingo, but as for the future ......, I don't know." A relatively short child said blankly.

"General Rabe will definitely win. The Chinese will not give up on General Rabe. But there are also children who are very adamant about saying this.

"Let's hope our lives won't be too bad in the future. I heard that life in Port-au-Prince is not even as good as Cape Haïtien in the north. "The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and the war has made the current group of children much more precocious. They are generally less than 10 years old, and they have been thinking about the problem for a long time. "The only fortunate thing is that the Chinese are much stronger than Port-au-Prince."

Bloody killings, revenge, and years-long tug-of-war in the War of Resistance against France brought tens of thousands of black slaves to their knees. Before the war of 1890, Saint-Domingue [Haiti] had a population of 500,000 mulatto, but now there are only about 300,000 left. And it's split in two!

But this has an advantage over Santo Domingo, which had a population of only 150,000 before the war. But this manpower is compared to the huge Chinese ......, that is, the ants at the feet of elephants. On their first day at school, these children were presented with a map from which they saw the whole world, as well as the vast and breathtaking China and the tiny island of Spain in the tiny Caribbean.

Although there is no comprehensive navigation between the Spanish island and Mexico, there are still sporadic blacks from the mainland to the Spanish island, and what kind of good life the blacks live under the Chen Han system has slowly spread on the Spanish island, and some of Chen Han's ideas are well known to the blacks of Santo Domingo.

But now General Rabe, the backbone of Chen Han's presence in Santo Domingo, is coming to an end, and Santo Domingo is almost powerless to fight back under the force of Port-au-Prince. Many of the blacks under General Rabe may still have faith in the future, but they are worried about the suffering that lies ahead.

"Look, the people from Port-au-Prince are here again." A child pointed to the dock and shouted.

Because the forces of the pro-Chinese faction led by Rabe were completely retreating, the armed forces of Port-au-Prince seized the docks without much effort, and then they were about to attack the city of Santo Domingo. Before that, they need to seize the high ground near the docks, and the school is one of them.

A small force of twenty or thirty men came in the direction of the school. The students on the hill all had a bad premonition.

As General Rabe's armed forces retreated and did not resist at all, the Port-au-Prince soldiers already felt that they had won the battle, and they ran towards the school with a smile and a smile along the way.

But neither the black soldiers who had landed on the land of Santo Domingo, nor the white officers and men who were maneuvering the guns and sails on the battleship, did not know that a pair of eyes were staring at them a few hundred meters below the sea level, like a pile of dead fish.

They are the submarine detachment in Chen Han's naval division!

The CIA's deployment in the Caribbean may not be complete enough, but Port-au-Prince suddenly has an additional fleet, and the sailors of the fleet are still predominantly white, and they manipulate the English language. And Alexander Pétion also gathered his most elite army of 2,000 - how many people are left in Dominica, 2,000 troops is quite a lot there. And it is impossible for such a big operation to hide from the eyes of the Military Intelligence Agency.

When the fleet sailed from Port-au-Prince to Santo Domingo, Chen Han was already making preparations, and a number of large transport ships arrived in Santo Domingo. These submarines under the sea level are Chen Han's killer moves!

Of course, Ye Tingyang could not have boarded the submarine in person, and the leader of the submarine force was a twenty or thirty-year-old officer with Captain Zuo. This person's surname is Peng, a native of Shonan. Since childhood, he has been fluttering in Dongting Lake, and the water is very good. After being admitted to the Naval Academy, he achieved excellent comprehensive results.

When Chen Ming gave the order to try the submarine, he set a rule. Officers should give priority to talent and should not show favoritism. Peng Mingjiu's personality is calm, unhurried, strong-willed, and the title is suitable, so he was selected!

In the beginning, it was a memorable time for everyone. Peng Mingjiu has suffered more than all the hardships he has suffered since he became a soldier. Because in addition to a series of physical fitness and diving training for frogmen, the narrow space of the submarine can make people crazy, and as an officer, Peng Mingjiu must be the first in everything.

Half of the soldiers in the original submarine squad couldn't stand the submarine career and quit halfway through. But Peng Mingjiu is the leader of this team, and no matter how hard and tired he is, he can't snort.

Thankfully, he paid off. The submarine is no longer a boring 'toy' for His Majesty the Emperor, but has become a real weapon. After the sneak attack on Key West, Peng Mingjiu succeeded from the right lieutenant to the left lieutenant, allowing him to see a brighter future.

Now, Peng Mingjiu is standing in the small command cabin of the submarine, holding the periscope, directing the small submarine to slowly rise. His ears could clearly hear the suffocating breathing and panting of the crew. A hand-operated water pump to float a submarine is not a small task in this day and age.

"Lao Tzu must be an official, I swear, I must be the captain!"

He Sanshui, who was trying to press the water pump, glanced at Peng Mingjiu, who was holding the periscope and did not let go, and secretly swore in his heart. He must be an official, he doesn't want to press the water pump anymore!

In the dim light of the submarine, He Sanshui was working hard. His round head was covered with sweat. The submariners were all big bald heads, and the dim light refracted light on the slippery heads.

Although He Sanshui knew that the periscope had poor imaging, limited visibility, and even more cumbersome waterproof security measures after each use, he remembered that the first submarine he was on was leaking after the diving scope was raised during a launching experiment, and half of the eight members lost their lives in that disaster.

However, being a captain doesn't have to work hard, so he wants to be a captain!

Now is the critical stage of the submarine floating, Peng Mingjiu did not dare to be careless, after all, it was floating during the day, and if it was discovered by the people of Port-au-Prince, he would be happy. That would be an absolute catastrophe for the newly established submarine force!

Peng Mingjiu concentrated on carefully observing the surrounding situation in the eyepiece of the periscope, and did not see any suspicious surface objects around. And the place where the ascent is very positive, at most 300 meters ahead, there are two Port-au-Prince transport ships. It's close.

"Keep draining!!" The submarine cannot rise completely, but it cannot be more than half a meter above the surface of the sea. They will pass through the isolation compartment and leave the submarine. Through the snorkel, it breathes in the seawater, and at the same time releases anchor mines.

As soon as Peng Mingjiu's words fell, the submarine immediately became busier.

They had to work hard and try again to empty the water in the tank to the blue waterline as quickly as possible. This way the submarine can float below sea level, and the people inside can clearly hear the sound of the waves above, but they can only clearly hear the explosion, and that's when they can breathe a sigh of relief.

The enemy was looking for their own death, and all the warships entered the mouth of the Osama River, although the mouth of the Osama River was wide and deep, and in the windy climate, it seemed that waves were plating from the Caribbean Sea to the mouth of the Osama. But that's just the surface, and the waters of the Osama River are pouring into the Caribbean Sea at a depth of one metre at sea level.

As long as the depth of the floating mines is set below the water level of one meter, a large number of floating mines will float down the mouth of the Osama River, which will be a disaster for the Port-au-Prince fleet in the estuary area. The manufacture of floating mines is very simple, as long as there are barrels and gunpowder, it is easy for Santo Domingo to make 10,000 floating mines.

The work of the submarine forces is to place an anchor belt behind the Port-au-Prince fleet, which can be of great use when the warships that have been hit at the front retreat.

"Attention all crew members, open the water trap, pay attention to the situation, and report at any time!"

So, just as the twenty or thirty Port-au-Prince soldiers were about to touch the gate of the port school, a loud bang suddenly sounded at the mouth of the Osama River.

Everywhere orange-red flames rose from under the surface of the sea and from the side of the ship, and huge splashes of water flew in all directions. Even more unfortunate was a brig, the entire warship was 'swirled' by five sparks - the unfortunate brig, which stopped five floating mines. As a result of the explosion, the entire warship was eager to jump from the sea.

During the whole process, the warship did not react, and the sailors above did not even have time to jump ship to escape. The entire warship was enveloped in the flames of the sky, and there were clusters of flames like festive fireworks.

The ship's side was shattered, a large amount of seawater poured in through the hole, the hull collapsed, the mast tilted, and the final result of the entire battleship was only capsized.

The scene was so earth-shattering that the landing soldiers on the coast were all stunned. The black soldiers, who had just been talking and laughing, thinking that they were in their hands on victory, all became like wood at this moment. They didn't seem to see the shock of the end of the world, but they really came to the end of the world.
