262. Bypass Bordeaux
Even though I knew there were tigers in the mountains, I was all brave men who were traveling to Tiger Mountain, and in essence I was still a cleaner lurking in the dark, so I naturally had no intention of confronting the Spanish head-on. Such a plan was neither feasible nor wise for me.
As for how to go next, I have been hesitating for a while. The trip I originally planned to go to the West was just to go straight to the vicinity of Venice, Italy to find someone. After finding the relatives of the second uncle, I completed the instructions on the one hand, and on the other hand, I also searched for clues to the spirit stone.
But now? The situation has changed qualitatively! I learned from Karasim that at least one green spirit stone fell into the hands of the Spanish. If I wanted to find this stone and open the magical door, then the Spanish would be the hurdle that they could not avoid. What's more, because of their desire to control and possessiveness, I almost suffered a catastrophe, and Yuan was even more awake!
Even for revenge for my lover, I would not leave easily. In addition, for the sake of Old Tucker's granddaughter Christina, who has now become a hot potato, I once again had a fire with a small squadron of the Spanish Invincible Fleet. This time the Spanish regarded me as a thorn in my eyes and a thorn in my flesh. It is probably not that easy to leave.
So I thought about overnight, should the strategy be changed accordingly? Following the historical development, although the Spaniards have shown their power in various major seas over the years, they will be completely defeated by the British in about four years, and with the decline of the Spanish, the British Empire "sun does not set" will also rise completely.
However, from the current situation, the displacement of the Spanish war fleet is still in the British war fleet, merchant fleet, even if the total displacement of the fishing fleet is more than three times. In terms of the quality of the warships, because the Spanish colonies are wider and the materials are richer, they are also higher than that of the British.
So how did they do it? In recent times of the British-Spanish Wars - or the war between Spain and the attack on Britain, Britain relied on the right time and place, and even natural disasters such as heavy rains and tsunamis to escape the disaster. How did they reversal the situation and reach the peak of their lives?
I can't figure out these issues, but I firmly believe that history will not go wrong! So quietly I have made up my mind to reach some understanding and alliance with the British at the first time and join forces to fight against the Spanish! Of course, I also have my own unique advantage, that is, I have the support of the Portuguese opposition and Christina, a person familiar with the Spanish inside story.
So although the enemy seems powerful and invincible, I still have confidence to compete with it in the next few years and will most likely be heading towards the final victory!
Of course, all this is not certain. The development of history is formed by the superposition of countless accidental factors. Now, will my intervention change history? Isn’t this what people mean by the butterfly effect? Will my butterfly from Asia flap its wings in the Mediterranean change the direction of the world?
I have no idea.
But I know that if I don’t join forces with the British, I might have a hard time in the next journey. As for whether there is any possibility of joining forces with other forces? I have thought about it.
The Portuguese had already made it clear before that they were actually quite passive because of the loss of royal power. Moreover, due to their poor management, they quickly diluted it to Western countries after accumulating the largest foreign wealth in the West in the early days. In addition, their land area is too small and there is no strategic in-depth scientific research, so it is reasonable to be held hostage. Such forces can be used as surprise weapons, but cannot be used as a support.
In Italy, this problem is more hurtful to say. When people say that a certain country is not good, they usually say that this country is Italy from a certain continent, which has to be said to be a strange flower in the history of world wars.
Nowadays, we call people who always drag the team back and are used to cheating teammates and sell teammates "pig teammates". It is said that "we are not afraid of opponents like gods, but afraid of teammates like pigs." During World War II, this word could be replaced by "the Italians of our accomplices".
What outrageous mistakes did they make during World War II? It was so incredible that later generations could be regarded as "adding a hint of humor and funny to the cruel World War II." From this perspective, Italy's "power" in this regard is no one else.
As early as when Germany and Italy signed the Iron and Steel Treaty, there were voices in the German Wehrmacht opposing alliances with Italy. The German Wehrmacht at that time had a relatively clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Italian army. When the head of state asked about the pros and cons of the treaty, these generals of the Third Reich later warned their heads of state:
"If Italy remains neutral, it is equivalent to adding ten divisions to our army; if Italy joins the other side, we can get it with twenty divisions; but if Italy wants to join us, our army must spend fifty divisions to protect it."
Hitler:......
The later development of the war proved the foresight of the German generals, but they obviously underestimated the Italians' ability to drag their backs. Italy's restraint on Germany in World War II was more than fifty divisions!
As for what weird things they did, opening the battlefield of North Africa in World War II will provide you with different laughs.
So Italians certainly can't do it.
As for the Dutch, these maritime coachmen seemed to be more skilled in maritime trade. Their power was not achieved through combat, so...
At this time, the French were still obsessed with the goal of the top battle in the mainland and did not pay much attention to maritime power. They would become truly powerful in nearly a hundred years.
The pirates in Nordic are too wild and I can't get used to raw food. Although the Ansman Empire is powerful and has ambitions, how to say it, I am very disgusted with the taste of ghee, and I hate the brainless conservativeness. What's more important is that they are Tatars. There is no need to explain it, right? So the Ottoman and I are definitely not able to cooperate.
Therefore, only the British were left. Although I set a precedent for these hundreds of years to invade China with ruffians, I had no choice at this time.
So we set the route to move around Madeira - we originally planned to visit the birthplace of famous star Christinano Ronaldo, but for safety reasons, we should forget it.
After bypassing Madeira, we began to sail northeastward. The location adjacent to Lisbon is not at least far away, and the sea begins to move northward. Until we bypass the La Coruna region of Spain, we began to sail eastward.
The goal of the next stop is the French city of Bordeaux. There is a reason for choosing here. On the one hand, France's maritime technology is not advanced and does not pay much attention to maritime rights. It is relatively safe to go there to send a port there. Second, the disagreement between Farsi will not cause other problems. Third, the red wine here is world-class, and I want to buy some to save it, and maybe when it will be useful. Fourth, before arriving in the UK, I think I should still call a front station first. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs and I don't know what the situation is there.
As for the fifth, I think as one of the most developed countries in the West, there should be good doctors in port cities. For the sake of kites, I cannot give up any hope!
Set sail! Our fleet left the Canary Islands and began to head north according to the researched route. In order to ensure safety, our fleet adopted a relatively loose fish scale formation and released the sentry ship from a distance, so that even if someone attacked, we would not be caught off guard.
It should be said that there was no problem with this voyage, everything was under control, the only problem was - Christina! This fiery woman stayed firmly on my boat on the grounds that she "had the only relative who had been separated for many years - grandfather", and her own boat was handed over to her pirate brothers.
When I asked in Huamei's unkind eyes, handing the ship to others like this, well, I mean, these pirates who have no strong guarantees in all aspects can be relieved, Christina smiled very freely and said: "Anyway, it's stolen! It doesn't matter whether they are thrown away or not! It's the most important thing for your own relatives!"
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and said, "But then again, they should still remember the way of dying of a person who betrayed me, so there is no high probability that such a situation will happen again!"
I asked curiously: "What's the way to die? So powerful?"
Christina smiled badly, but did not explain. She smiled for a long time before she said vaguely: "If you dare to bully me, I will let you taste it!"
As she said that, she gestured with her palms into the shape of a knife, aiming down from my waist to make a round and back cut!
Suddenly, I felt a chill between my legs! I felt the first time I felt that saving her was a correct decision. However, the person had already boarded the boat, and I was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with her behavior! So I could only let it go.
As time entered April, the entire Western sea surface entered a relatively stable state. It was no longer as frequent storms as before, but remained in a calm state for a long time.
With the blessing of the warm current of the North Atlantic, our fleet maintained a very high speed all the way. Due to sufficient supply and no need for replenishment or slowing, the current main tone of moving forward at full speed. In seven or eight days, we bypassed Madeira Island, took a long glance and continued northward, found a location thirty nautical miles west of the Iberian Peninsula, avoided the usual routes and continued northward, and soon arrived in the Santiago-La Coruna area.
In this area adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, we were alerted and sent more than three times more posts than usual, focusing on possible situations.
However, the biggest situation was that there was no situation. We walked around Spain's territory and entered the French territorial waters without any danger. We sailed in full speed in the east, and soon the coast of Bordeaux appeared before us.
It was not until this moment that I secretly let down my breath and could hear the sarcasm between Huamei and Christina next to me. I didn’t have time to care about these messy "rights and wrongs", so I ordered to send a mail to the port of Bordeaux!
Separating the team in half, Chen Kui took a small part to the UK, contacting Buhui and others who were there, and contacting the things that followed. As for me, he led most of the personnel to stay in Bordeaux, with only one purpose - to find a good doctor and the best doctor!
I said secretly in my heart. Sitting beside the bed, looking at Yuan's pale face, my heart hurts, very painful! I stroked her face gently and made up my mind to say:
I will definitely cure you! You must hold on!
The hull shook a few times and entered the port! I stood up, stared at Yuan with a divine look, turned around and left to command.
Chapter completed!
