On April 29, a piece of news detonated the entire Mediterranean. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Queen of Atlantis Kalia issued an announcement saying that from now on, Atlantis City will officially withdraw from the [Mediterranean Alliance], and Atlantis City is willing to work with Mediterranean countries to develop the lost technology of Atlantis civilization for the benefit of the entire Mediterranean.

As soon as the news came out, it caused bursts of cheers in the circle of Mediterranean lords, and the Greek lords couldn't wait to place the crown of "Queen of the Mediterranean" on Kalia as a sign of respect.

The crisis in Atlantis City seems to have disappeared invisibly.

With Atlantis City's withdrawal from the [Mediterranean League], coupled with the previous withdrawal of Vic City, the alliance's iron triangle has dropped two corners at once, and Base Point City is difficult to support alone.

At the behest of Ouyang Shuo, the city guard of the base point city issued an announcement, "regrettingly" announcing the official dissolution of the [Mediterranean Alliance]. In this way, the powerful alliance that was formed less than a year ago came to an end.

The sudden disintegration of the [Union for the Mediterranean] made the Mediterranean Sea chaotic.

When the alliance exists, it is the well-deserved hegemon of the Mediterranean, and the formulator and defender of the maritime order in the Mediterranean; Now that the alliance has collapsed, who should be in charge of the ups and downs of the Mediterranean?

Was it the Gallic fleet of Vic, or the Spanish Armada, or even Caesar's Roman fleet?

If you don't deal with all three, I'm afraid there will be a good show.

The only thing that has been forgotten is estimated to be the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the withdrawal of Vic City and Atlantis City one by one, showing that Basis Point City has betrayed in the Mediterranean.

"No matter how strong the Great Xia Dynasty is, we still have the final say in the Mediterranean." So said the lords of the Mediterranean.

Of course, due to the huge profits brought by the ocean-going trade, the Mediterranean countries will not do anything "inappropriate" to the Bactrian caravans that travel through the Mediterranean, after all, no one will have trouble with money.

Even if there is action, it will have to wait until the birth of a new "hegemon" in the Mediterranean.

……

Vic City, France.

Henry sat alone in the study, frowning, the sudden exit of Atlantis City made Henry very puzzled, with his understanding of Kalia and Ouyang Shuo, the two should not "break up" in such a hurry.

"What kind of calculations are hidden in this?" Thinking of Ouyang Shuo's clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Henry shuddered.

Half a year ago, Vic City seized the opportunity of the fall of the Spanish Armada and decisively boarded the clipper ship of the [Union for the Mediterranean], so as to successfully break through the Spanish blockade and gallop in the Mediterranean.

After the collapse of the alliance, how should the Gallic fleet deal with the current chaotic situation?!

Henry suddenly felt a big head, he couldn't judge whether the family's decision was correct now, Henry always had a sense of unease, and the Great Xia Dynasty, which was hidden behind the scenes, seemed to be even more terrifying.

…………

Tortosa City, Spain.

Unlike Henry's frustration, Casillas clenched his fists excitedly and said, "The promise of the [Silver Hand] has been fulfilled, and it is time for us to act!" ”

Sitting opposite Casillas was Juan, lord of the city of Malaga.

The two most powerful lords of Spain glanced at each other, and both saw the heat in each other's eyes, and the Spanish Armada had endured it for more than half a year, and it was time to show its fangs again.

"Do you want to take Base Point City first?" Juan asked.

Casillas was not carried away by the excitement, shook his head and said: "The base point city was built like an iron lump by the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is not so easy to take, so let's not touch the mold." At present, the most important thing is to fight for the dominance of the Mediterranean, as long as we win the sea control, the base point city is not at our disposal?! ”

Juan nodded admiringly, "You're right. ”

"We need to let the Gallic fleet know that the supremacy of the seas is not so easy to be." Casillas' hatred of Henry is no less than his hatred of Ouyang Shuo.

The two fleets are destined to be old enemies, and a fight is inevitable.

…………

Caesars, Italy.

In the lavish palace, Caesar enjoyed the gentle service of a beautiful maid while listening to the reports of his ministers, and his handsome, evil face always inadvertently flashed with a cold light.

"So, we've lost the chance to attack Atlantis?" Caesar drank the wine from his glass, and his voice became cold.

"At present, it seems that the lords who promised to send troops together have chosen to wait and see what happens after the announcement of Atlantis City."

"A bunch of rat-eyed guys." Caesar shook his head regretfully, and said rudely, "It's a shame that that stinking of Kalia threw a bone, and they came up to kneel and licked it like dogs. ”

“……”

The minister was speechless.

"Tell Antony that the eastern part of the Mediterranean is the territory of our Roman fleet, and don't let the Spanish and French fleets run over and let people grab the territory." Caesar commanded.

"Yes!"

Base Point City.

The Mediterranean was temporarily plunged into chaos because of an announcement, and the Great Xia Dynasty quietly began to act.

Given that the main cities of Morocco are located on the Atlantic coast and are far away from the base point city, even with the super carrying capacity of the Mediterranean Fleet, it is impossible to transport the four major armies in place at once.

Not to mention, there are still a lot of war materials waiting to be transported.

Moreover, if the Mediterranean fleet is frequently dispatched, it is easy to arouse the alarm of Morocco.

In view of this, it became an inevitable choice to find a few desert islands in the waters outside Morocco as temporary outposts for the storage of war materials and the temporary stationing of troops.

Thanks to the tenfold expansion of the game map, a small reef in the sea can be expanded into a desert island. The Mediterranean Fleet has been fighting pirates in the Atlantic Ocean for six months, and it is no stranger to this area.

Under Álvaro's arrangement, two material reserve bases and three military bases were quickly selected, and the next step was to carry out the shipment of war materials.

In the past six months since the opening of the Great Shipping Route, there have been thousands of Great Xia merchant ships coming and going to the Great Shipping Route, and Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate to spend a lot of money this time, ordering these merchant ships to purchase a large amount of grain along the way on the grounds of replenishment and quietly transport it to the material reserve base. The weapons and equipment prepared by the War Readiness Administration were transported directly through the teleportation array.

This expenditure alone amounted to more than 200,000 gold coins.

The transfer of materials could not be achieved overnight, and the four major legions remained unmoved for the time being, still staying in their respective defense areas, only Huo Qubing and Bai Qi, the two commanders, quietly teleported to the base point city.

As the saying goes: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Even if they are gods like Bai Qi and Huo Quai, if they are not familiar with the object of the war and do not survey the terrain in advance, they are afraid that they will lose the battle.

What's more, this is a transoceanic expedition, and the army is likely to be unadaptable.

The two gods stayed in the base point city for three days, and after having a preliminary understanding of the Mediterranean Sea and Morocco, they took the initiative to apply to Ouyang Shuo to rush to Morocco to investigate in person.

Bai Qi said: "Your Majesty, this attack on Morocco is a blitzkrieg, and it is even more important to survey the terrain in advance and know it in your heart, otherwise, it is very likely that the war will be variable because of a terrain miscalculation." ”

Since Bai Qi said so, what could Ouyang Shuo do, he could only give the Black Snake a death order, and let the Black Snake Guard's secret agents in Morocco ensure the safety of Bai Qi and Huo Quai, otherwise they would come to see him.

The black snake listened, his face was full of black lines, and he turned around to arrange it.

On May 5, Bai Qi and Huo Qubing quietly arrived in Morocco on different merchant ships. Next, they will conduct a week-long field trip.

During this period, a variety of war materials were in full swing.

…………

The Bactria Dynasty was sharpening its knives against Morocco, but the outside world was unaware of it.

Morocco itself does not say anything, they are not aware of the disaster at all, what to do or what. Thanks to the opening of the great shipping routes, the lords of Morocco also benefited from the ocean-going trade.

Morocco has three treasures, arguan, date palm, and cactus.

The argan tree is a unique tree species in Morocco, resistant to drought and high temperature, mostly grows in southern Morocco, has a lifespan of more than 150 years, and the argan oil pressed from the argan fruit is a very precious oil.

The indigenous Berber people of Morocco have mastered the secrets of making cosmetics from argan and argan oil, which can be used to massage the face, nails, hair and body, and has a very wrinkle effect.

In the game, Gaia strengthens this and distills it into a technique.

I also know that this magical "cosmetics" will be very popular in both the Western ladies' circle and the Oriental boudoir, and will naturally attract businessmen from all over the world.

In addition to argan oil, there is another Moroccan specialty that is very popular with businessmen, and that is phosphate.

In reality, phosphate is one of the important pillars of Morocco's economy, with reserves of 110 billion tons, accounting for about 75% of the world's reserves.

As an important food ingredient and functional additive, phosphate is widely used in food processing, although there is no industrial refining technology as developed in reality, the demand for phosphate is the same.

In addition, Morocco's proximity to the Atlantic coast makes it extremely rich in fishery resources, and its sardine exports rank first in the world and are the largest fish producer in Africa.

Canned sardines made from sardines are not only a delicious delicacy but also nutritious and easy to store, making them a great military item.

Ironically, on the roster of grain purchased by the Bactrian merchant ships for the expeditionary force, there were canned sardines. If the Moroccans were to know the inside story, they would vomit three liters of blood.

It is precisely by virtue of these specialties that Morocco is also thriving in the ocean trade.

On weekdays, there is an endless stream of Oriental merchant ships passing through major ports in Morocco, and it is not uncommon to see caravans from the East in Morocco, and players have become accustomed to it.

Therefore, the arrival of Bai Qi and Huo Qu's disease did not cause any waves.
