At 3 p.m., the reception room of Longshou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With everything in order, the ocean-going fleet set off for the sunken place of the Spanish Armada to salvage the artillery. Ouyang Shuo finally had time to meet Álvaro.
"It's been a long time!" Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly.
Knowing Alvaro's origin, Ouyang Shuo suddenly became interested. Ancient China has always lacked admirals, and a limited number of them were basically collected by Shanhai City, but Western countries were rich in admirals.
Shanhai City is located in the land of the four seas, so it should naturally have a global vision and recruit talents from all over the world. Therefore, Ouyang Shuo didn't mind having one more Spanish admiral under his command.
Álvaro, however, could not turn a corner, unwilling to give in.
"Old general, it turns out that the Spanish Armada has long been outdated, its glory is no longer there, and now it can only tremble in the Mediterranean. Unlike our Shanhai City, the ocean-going fleet crosses the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans, and crosses the Asian, African and European continents, so that it can be regarded as a truly global fleet. Ouyang Shuo said.
Álvaro's eyes moved, "So what?" ”
"How? Commanding a global fleet is the dream of every admiral. Could it be that the general is old and no longer has such ambitions? Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.
"Humph!"
"Old general, as long as you promise to join Shanhai City, Ben Hou promises that the ocean-going fleet will only take the port of Gibraltar and will no longer use force against the Spanish mainland, how about it?" Ouyang Shuo was ready to take another step back.
Originally, he never thought that he could wipe out Spain in one fell swoop.
The strategic purpose of suppressing the arrogance of the Spanish Armada has long been exceeded. It is conceivable that within the next year, the Spanish Armada will be in the Mediterranean.
If he could exchange a temporary concession for the loyalty of a naval admiral, Ouyang Shuo felt that it was worth it.
"Is that true?" Alvaro couldn't believe it.
The Spanish Armada was defeated in this battle, and the long coastline was almost undefended at this time, and only allowed the ocean-going fleet to ravage it.
"At this time, the other party is not ready to continue to expand the results of the battle?" Álvaro's eyes were full of inquiry when he looked at Ouyang Shuo, "This person is young, can he endure such temptation?" ”
Ouyang Shuo saw it and smiled indifferently, "Ben Hou never lies. The old general should know that in Shanhai City, the aliens and the aborigines are equal existences, and there is no difference between high and low. ”
Ouyang Shuo's words pierced the scar in Álvaro's heart. The Spanish Inhumans' performance in this battle, especially their indifference to the sailors, really disappointed Álvaro.
"Okay, I promise you!" Álvaro raised his head with a firm look in his eyes, "I just hope that my lord will not forget the promise made today, otherwise, I will fight for my life and will never give up." ”
"Nature." Ouyang Shuo nodded.
"The last general, Álvaro, meet the prince!" Álvaro followed the local customs and officially met him.
Ouyang Shuo nodded, checking Álvaro's attributes.

Gaia's rating of generals in various countries adopts a unified standard, and at the same time, it will also make a secondary revision according to various factors such as the national strength, size and historical heritage of each country.
As a result, the highest historical military generals in some countries are at the royal level, or even at the king level. If you really can't even reach the king-level standard, Gaia will be directly revised to the king-level.
In other words, no matter how big or small the country is, at least there will be a king-level general.
Spain, as a former maritime hegemon and a European power in reality, has a certain historical background, although it cannot be compared with the giant China, Gaia's overall evaluation of it is still extremely high.
There is a god-level military general in the whole country, that is, the Spanish military god, Fernando, the Duke of Alva, known as the "Blood Slaughterer". In addition, there are several royal generals, and Álvaro is one of them.
There is no doubt that the addition of Álvaro is of extraordinary significance to the sailors of Shanhai City. Just as Ouyang Shuo was about to discuss the job arrangement with Alvaro, a system announcement spread all over the world.
"Global Announcement: Congratulations to the Chinese lord player for successfully subduing Admiral Álvaro of the Spanish Navy, becoming the first lord in the world to subdue the historical generals of other countries, with a special reward of 10,000 points for meritorious service, 50,000 points for prestige, and a king-level summoning charm, for encouragement, congratulations to the player!"
……
As soon as the announcement came out, the world was shocked.
Players were shocked not only by the fact that they had accepted the generals of other countries without clothes, but also by the information hidden behind the announcement. Obviously, in this national war between Shanhai City and Spain, Spain unexpectedly lost.
As the news of the national war fermented on the forum, the conflict between Shanhai City and Spain has long been known all over the world. Before the war, no one thought that Shanhai City would be able to defeat the powerful Spain like the capture of the Star Kingdom.
Especially for the Mediterranean countries, the Spanish Armada was a nightmare.
It was precisely because of this that the European countries did not even think to intervene in it, and sat quietly on the sidelines and watched the play.
The result? Spain's most powerful admiral was unexpectedly taken under the command of the lord of Shanhai City. Things have taken a turn for the worse, and there have been mixed reactions from all sides.
……
As soon as the announcement came out, the most shocking countries were the Mediterranean countries.
Players from Italy, Greece, France, Egypt, and Turkey had different ideas, and their first thoughts were to determine what kind of impact the Spanish Armada had suffered in this battle.
"Will the Spanish Armada continue to dominate the Mediterranean?" They need to recognize this so that they can adjust their maritime strategies in a timely manner, and if possible, take advantage of the situation.
One of the most exciting is France.
In the mid-to-late seventeenth century, the Kingdom of France also had its glory.
In those glorious 50 years, the French navy started from a group of broken sampans, under the protection of Richelieu, Colbert and the Marquis de Senele, and under the light of the Sun King Louis XIV, it successively defeated the great powers of the seas - Spain, the Netherlands, and even the United Kingdom, and grew into a maritime power that once dominated the two major waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, and was the first maritime power at that time.
However, in 1692, the fledgling French navy was defeated by the Anglo-Dutch fleet, and the French navy quickly withered into the dust of history.
It was for this reason that the French lords, more than any other Mediterranean nation, were eager to rise again.
……
French Quarter, Vic City.
As the first lord of France, Henry has also appeared on the global stage, and even once ranked among the top ten lords in the world. But in the Mediterranean, Henry kept a low profile.
It's not that he doesn't want to be high-profile, but he is overwhelmed by the Spanish armada.
As soon as this announcement came out, Henry finally saw an opportunity for French intervention in the Mediterranean. In fact, as early as the start of the national war between Shanhai City and Spain, Henry had been following this big war.
The Marquis of Lianzhou said that he completed the large-scale plot mission [Disappearing Atlantis] without clothes, which gave Henry a glimmer of hope. Even so, he did not make a move.
As soon as the announcement came out, Henry finally decided to attack.
"Someone!"
"In!" The clerk walked in.
"Three things!" Henry held up three fingers, "First, let all the scouts be dispatched, and make sure that the Spanish war is clear." Henry hooked his first finger.
"Understood!"
"Second, order the Gallic fleet to enter the first level of combat readiness, ready to attack the Mediterranean at any time." The Gallic fleet is the secret weapon of Vic, which has been hidden by Henry, and now it's time to show its edge.
"Third, send someone to contact the ocean fleet of Shanhai City to release goodwill." Henry concluded.
The clerk's eyes froze, and he didn't ask anything, and turned to leave.
In the dimly lit study, Henry muttered to himself, "Marquis Lianzhou, don't let me down." ”
……
In addition to the Mediterranean countries, the countries of Europe were also alarmed.
English Quarter, Fort Ivek.
"Accept the Spanish Admiral? Interesting. William sat in the study on the highest floor of the castle, looking lazy, "The next stop of the ocean-going fleet should be us, right?" ”
"Yes!" The clerk on the opposite side looked solemn.
There is no doubt that things have developed so far, although Shanhai City has not been recognized as a war maniac, but the title of "troublemaker" has long been recognized by players from all over the world.
Wherever the ocean-going fleet goes, trouble will follow.
As the terminal of the ocean-going fleet, how can Britain be less troubled in the future?
"My lord, we should have made a plan earlier." The clerk persuaded.
William raised his eyebrows, picked up the red wine on the table, took a sip slowly, and said lazily, "What are you going to do?" Maybe there's a big deal. ”
"Big deal?" The clerk was puzzled.
William didn't intend to explain anything, but as soon as the topic changed, he casually asked, "Anne is out again?" ”
The clerk's face suddenly sweated, "Please also ask for forgiveness." Miss Anne had robbed five warships the day before yesterday and went out to sea with her Iron Maiden troops to exterminate the pirates. ”
"What nonsense." William reprimanded, but his expression did not have a trace of blame, showing that he was extremely doting on this sister, "Remember to arrange for the fleet to follow behind to escort the escort." ”
"It's already arranged." The Registrar is not ambiguous about this.
