During this time, there has been a feeling of overcast weather along the entire coast of Europe.
For the interests of the Caribbean thousands of miles away, the relevant countries of the Netherlands, Britain, and Spain are secretly competing. Of course, Wang Xuan's name must be mentioned among them.
Wang Xuan, who was previously unknown in Europe, suddenly became famous. In private, many people called him the King of the Caribbean.
Yes, there is no word pirate, just the simple king of the Caribbean.
There is a reason why it is called this. Although the Pirate King is equally powerful and powerful, he cannot be on the stage after all. The sinister forces who dare not stand upright are accustomed to operating underground. To put it bluntly,
He's just like a gopher.
The harm is not small and the killing is endless, but it can't solve any big problem. It's just ringworm and scabies.
But Wang Xuan's power was different. He defeated the Spanish squadron in the Caribbean on the frontal battlefield. His apparent strength was more than 1/5 of the Spanish navy. This strength was no less than that of many small countries.
In addition, the mountains of the Caribbean Sea are so high and so far away that no big country can devote all its strength to an expedition. Calculating this... it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Xuan is the king of the Caribbean Sea.
At least that's what businessmen returning from the Caribbean say.
Of course, when the Netherlands was communicating with Spain, Wang Xuan also sent people to communicate with Portugal and the United Kingdom.
This person is the nice-talking Arthur.
"You know, I am British myself, and I am full of feelings for Britain..."
"There are only so many conditions for me to compromise..."
"It's mutually beneficial for both of us..."
The communication with the foreign affairs department of the British cabinet was relatively smooth. At this point, Arthur secretly signed the Treaty of Miami on behalf of Wang Xuan.
The treaty stipulated that Britain recognized Wang Xuan's dominance over the Caribbean, would send troops to contain the Spanish navy, and at the same time transfer the Miami area and Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan was responsible for continuing to attack the Spanish naval power, and at the same time, he was responsible for not infringing on the British colonies in North America.
Of course, this is a secret draft treaty, provided that Wang Xuan is able to cope with the subsequent Spanish naval attack.
It is impossible for the British to go to great lengths to contain Spain for Wang Xuan. They would rather see both sides suffer losses.
After leaving England, Arthur went directly to Portugal. Portugal and Spain have always been entangled, and they expressed their willingness to participate in any action that could attack Spain.
It’s just…really a bit cowardly!
Wang Xuan looked at the Portuguese official in front of him who had returned with Arthur, and curled his lips. He really didn't expect that Portugal was shouting slogans very loudly, but let alone talk about troops... He didn't even have the courage to make gestures.
No!
What a great talker!
Of course, it's not like I can't help at all.
How could a guy like Wang Xuan, who could squeeze two ounces of oil out of his bones, let them watch the fun!
Wang Xuan asked for a lot of cannons, gunpowder, muskets, steel-making equipment, and steam engine production process data that could strengthen his foundation!
Of course, this is not something particularly rare, it is just relatively large and comprehensive. They are common technologies and will not have any impact on Portugal itself.
After sending away the Portuguese, Wang Xuan returned his focus to new weapons and new warships.
It's a new type of warship that can be developed in a short time and can effectively suppress the opponent's fleet. Wang Xuan thought about it for a long time!
…
Time passed very quickly. After more than two months, the Dutch indeed sent troops to the English Channel, and the British fleet could only turn around half of it!
The Spaniards who had their hands free were also very straightforward. They directly eliminated half of the domestic fleet and headed towards the Caribbean with great momentum!
Compared with Wang Xuan's military strength, Spain has 1 more level 2 ships, 3 more level 3 ships, and 7 more level 4 ships!
These combat forces from multiple places can form a squadron!
Faced with this situation, Wang Xuan will naturally not show weakness!
Moreover, this is no longer the time for Wang Xuan to hide in the dark and play some intrigues. Now, he is going to fight openly and openly!
Wang Xuan would not let the other party block Nachao Port. That would be a provocation to the authority he had finally established, so Wang Xuan commanded the fleet to meet him!
This is an important milestone battle for him to become famous all over the world!
On the outer sea, the two sides have 75 warships and more than 3,000 artillery pieces. A war to determine the ownership of the Caribbean Sea is about to begin!
This sea area was specially chosen by Wang Xuan. The waves are not too big, so his secret weapon should be effective!
Neither side could let the other gain the upper hand, and the result was almost the same column formation, such as two teams of knights charging in the same direction, but both sides were slightly deviated from each other, and the distance between the two sides was slowly getting closer.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, when they knew they were less than two hundred meters away, both fleets ordered to fire almost at the same time!
When the first artillery fire was fired, there was only the dense sound of artillery fire and the whistling shells on the entire sea, and almost nothing else could be heard!
More than 3,000 artillery pieces began to fire. Dozens of artillery pieces exploded almost every second. In a short time, the battlefield was filled with smoke. In this era of lack of communication means, except for the first two waves, there was still command.
Outside, they were almost fighting each other!
The sea surface was full of broken wood and human bodies, but the intensive sound of cannons was so frightening that no shark dared to come nearby to look for food!
Seeing that the situation on the battlefield has changed into chaos, Wang Xuan knew that it was time to put down his secret weapon!
He took out the horn from the space and blew it hard, dirty... dirty... dirty...
Now only this magic horn can allow all subordinates to hear their orders!
The sound of the horn not only boosted everyone's morale, but at the same time, some sailboards were suddenly lowered on each warship!
The so-called windsurfing is a modern sport that looks like a sailboat, but is actually a sport that is controlled by a single person and is much faster.
It’s just that Wang Xuan made targeted modifications to it.
A barbed iron awl is added to the head, which can be directly pierced into the hull. Twenty kilograms of gunpowder bags wrapped in oilcloth are placed on the board. The lead is made of white phosphorus. As long as it is pulled out and exposed to air, it will explode.
Spontaneous combustion.
The operator only needs to get close to the opponent's warship, pull out the cork, let the fuse ignite, and then jump into the sea. The sailboard will penetrate into the opponent's hull under the inertia and explode!
When the time comes... with a 'boom', a big hole will be blown out of the opponent's hull!
