The Spaniard got to the bottom of the matter and finally locked in Atlantis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Other than that, it's not possible." The Spaniards are steadfast.

When the truth is revealed, the mood of the Spaniards is very complicated. If it is really defeated by the ocean fleet of Shanhai City, the proud Spaniards are afraid that they will be uneasy. Because in their eyes, the eastern country represented by Shanhai City in the game is synonymous with backwardness and ignorance.

But if it was the Atlantean civilization that played a decisive role in the war, it was a different story. In the eyes of Westerners, the Atlantean civilization represents an advanced civilization system.

"It's not too embarrassing to think about it." The Spaniards consoled themselves so much.

However, in this way, the Spaniards have mixed feelings about the reappearance of Atlantis. In the face of this "culprit" who led to the destruction of the Armada, they loved and hated.

The battle with the Ocean Fleet of Shanhai City had already left Spain a big step behind the rest of the Mediterranean in the exploration of Atlantis.

If they don't take action, I'm afraid they will have to drink soup.

The problem was that the destruction of the Armada made it difficult for the Spaniards to go to sea. Not to mention, the waters off Gibraltar are also swimming in the mountains and seas of the ocean fleet, eyeing them.

"Could it be that you still want to let Shanhai City blackmail again?"

The Spaniards wanted to vomit blood at the thought of this.

The coastal lord even said, "Now it is not a question of going to sea or not going to sea, but to guard against the attack of the ocean-going fleet of Shanhai City on the coastal city." The national war is imminent, and the matter of Atlantis Island should be discussed later! ”

"That's right!"

A word woke up the dreamer, and the Spaniards realized: the national war is far from over!

The whole of Spain suddenly fell into a frenzied preparation for war, determined to snipe the invading enemy on land, "Shanhai City dares to attack, they will not return!" ”

It has to be said that even if a proud nation encounters setbacks, it is difficult to shake its temperament.

************

The Spaniards made such a fuss, but it was easy for the spies of various countries, they didn't have to bother to think about it, the whole Mediterranean knew what was going on, and the relevant information was quickly reported to the lords of various countries.

This time, the Mediterranean Sea is a real uproar.

"The Spanish Armada is completely annihilated, and the glory is gone!" This news is so exciting.

Not only France, but also Italy, Greece, Egypt and other countries have seen the dawn of an attack on the Mediterranean. Taking this opportunity, Spain's sea supremacy in the Mediterranean Sea was broken in one fell swoop, which quickly became the consensus of the Mediterranean countries.

Of course, there are also lords who are jealous of the ocean fleet of Shanhai City. Even the invincible Spanish fleet is planted in the hands of the ocean-going fleet, is there really room for them to operate in the Mediterranean in the future?

"I'm afraid that the front door will reject the tiger, and the back door will enter the wolf!" There are concerns.

The lords were really complicated, on the one hand, they were afraid of the strength of the ocean fleet of Shanhai City, and on the other hand, they were unwilling to give up the opportunity to rise in the Mediterranean.

In this way, the forces of all parties met frequently and began to merge vertically and horizontally.

The whole Mediterranean Sea has become treacherous.

However, Henry, the lord of France, was extremely resolute, and as soon as he got the news, he immediately recalled the liaison officer, and the promised conditions were increased on the basis of the previous one, in order to form a strategic alliance with Shanhai City.

The Mediterranean Sea is about to turn upside down, but Ouyang Shuo is still acting step by step like a nobody.

In the reception room of the dragon's head, Ouyang Shuo discussed the appointment with Álvaro.

Originally from Spain, Álvaro is familiar with both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The historical Spanish Armada was planned by Álvaro to go out of the Mediterranean Sea and set foot in the Atlantic.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo has no reason to transfer Álvaro back to his post in China, otherwise it will be a violent thing. The best option is to form a new fleet in the Mediterranean.

Ouyang Shuo planned to form a fifth fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet, under the Nanyang Naval Division, with Álvaro serving as the Admiral of the Mediterranean Fleet.

The first backbone of the Mediterranean Fleet was more than 56,000 Spanish naval officers and men, as well as more than 20,000 sailors, first mates, and other senior sailors.

Of course, as is customary, the Mediterranean Fleet also has to undergo the necessary mixing.

Ouyang Shuo asked Zheng He to transfer a group of key generals from the ocean-going fleet to join the Mediterranean fleet. At the same time, it is stipulated that more than half of the backbone officers and men of the Mediterranean Fleet must be local officers and soldiers of Shanhai City.

In this way, the Mediterranean Fleet will be composed of three categories: the Spanish Navy, the local sailors of Shanhai City, and the pirate prisoners of war in the Gulf of Aden. The three are integrated with each other, and there is healthy competition within them.

The Mediterranean Fleet is lonely, not to mention that Ouyang Shuo and Álvaro are only initially acquainted, even if they are familiar with the generals, it is impossible not to take some precautions.

The shortfall in the ocean-going fleet was naturally filled by the Spanish Navy.

According to the establishment of the Shanhai City Naval Division, a full fleet has a total of 110,000 sergeants and 14,000 sailors. The fleet consists of five formations, each with 22,000 sergeants and 2,800 crew members.

According to the current number of troops, the Mediterranean Fleet can only form two and a half formations for the time being. Ouyang Shuo gave Álvaro three formations, and the lack of 10,000 soldiers will be made up for later.

In addition to the Mediterranean, the Mediterranean Fleet also cruises in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is even said that the battalion of sailors stationed in the city of friendship in Somalia is under the jurisdiction of the Mediterranean Fleet.

Needless to say, this will be the most extensive fleet under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Naval Division.

……

The moment he received his appointment, Alvaro's loyalty increased by 10 points. He didn't expect that the prince would be so important to him, and he would be entrusted with a heavy task as soon as he came up.

Even with the current size of the Mediterranean Fleet, it is comparable to the Spanish Armada in history. Not to mention that the prince has promised that as long as the time is right, the remaining two formations will be completed.

Of course, Álvaro is a veteran after all, and he entered the role immediately after taking office.

"Dare to ask the prince, how to solve the problem of the military uniforms, weapons and equipment and warships of the Mediterranean Fleet? And how are the fleet stations and logistical supplies arranged? "Álvaro is very blunt.

Zheng He on one side listened and frowned.

In Zheng He's opinion, Álvaro's words are already a bit rebellious.

"General Álvaro, please pay attention to your words, and do not be rude to the prince!" Zheng He reminded him.

"What?" Alvaro raised his eyebrows, unclear.

Ouyang Shuo saw it, but he smiled and waved his hand.

In fact, this is the cultural difference between East and West. Oriental people speak reservedly, restrainedly, and are essentially modest and polite. Westerners speak bluntly and pursue efficiency.

There is nothing about the merits or disadvantages of the two, just cultural differences.

"Good question, general. The uniforms of the Spanish Navy must be completely replaced, and as for weapons and equipment, the general can negotiate with Zheng He and the governor to flexibly adjust them according to the characteristics of the soldiers' martial arts. Ouyang Shuo said.

Álvaro and Zheng He glanced at each other and nodded in unison, "Understood!" ”

Speaking of which, Zheng He is Álvaro's direct boss. Álvaro, who was born in the military, naturally will not be arrogant when he first arrives, and he must have the respect that his boss should have.

Álvaro also realized that Zheng He's reminder was actually well-intentioned. It seems that if he wants to integrate into the Shanhai City system, he has to take the initiative to get closer to Zheng He, his boss, and ask for more advice.

"The warships needed by the Mediterranean Fleet will be built by the shipyard in Friendship City, Somalia, and they are expected to be delivered within two months." The captured Spanish galleon, but Ouyang Shuo was not ready to use it.

Ouyang Shuo paused for a moment, and then said: "The problem of fleet stationing and logistics supply will be solved together. Benhou decided to salvage the artillery, and immediately sent troops to the port of Gibraltar to recover it. ”

The reception room was silent, and the smoke of gunpowder was instantly filled.

************

On July 29, the ocean-going fleet, fully loaded, once again occupied the port of Gibraltar.

The Spanish lord Juan, who had previously left a part of his army in the harbor, waited for the news of the defeat of the Armada to arrive, and immediately fled in a hurry. Before leaving, he took all the people captive, and when he was done, he burned down the port.

Come to think of it, they don't expect to take it back again.

The current Port of Gibraltar is basically a ghost town.

Looking at the scorched black port, Ouyang Shuo and the others had different expressions, and Álvaro had the most complicated expression. He didn't expect the Spaniards to be so resolute.

"It's okay, the past can't be traced." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Let's build an invincible harbor that truly holds the throat of the Mediterranean Sea on top of this ruin." ”

Gibraltar in the game is a huge concave shape, surrounded by huge rolling mountains and a wonderful natural harbor. The harbor is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one side. The mountains are thousands of feet high, the walls are thousands of feet, the difficulty of flying birds, and it is perfectly isolated from the interior of Spain, and there is not even a sheep intestine trail.

At the foot of the mountain is a long, narrow, arc-shaped land with an area of less than 50 square kilometers, which is smaller than the area of Friendship City. Because of the sea, the land is heavily saline, and it is difficult for ordinary crops to grow here.

In the past, the residents mainly made a living from fishing, and at most they brought some soil from other places, spread it in the vegetable field at home, and planted some vegetables, and lived a very poor life.

In the three years of Gaia, where ocean trade was not yet prevalent, the strategic position of the Port of Gibraltar had not yet been highlighted. Merchant ships to and from the Mediterranean Sea were scarce, and it was very difficult for the local population to buy some necessities.

Even so, there are still people living here.

Just because the wilderness in the game is really not a peaceful place. Although Gibraltar is poor, it can be regarded as a "paradise", but unexpectedly, it has changed hands in a short period of time.

Ouyang Shuo had no time to care about the fate of the people who were kidnapped by Juan. He now thought about how to make the place a fortress of war, not to be reclaimed by the radical Spaniards.
