Like the Spanish nobles, Jose was disappointed with the Spanish Navy.

During the period of the empire's decline, people always found some reasons and excuses, and the nobles of the Spanish Empire generally believed that it was the corruption of the navy, which led to the empire's gradual loss of world hegemony.

Now they are just asking them to block the coast without having to fight with Ganchao fleet. Such a simple task cannot be completed. They are really a bunch of insects.

"His Excellency the Governor, the Fleet Commander, Lord Antonio, has arrived." The subordinate came in to report.

Antonio de Oqundo turned out to be a Spanish admiral. Because he led the Spanish fleet to suffer heavy defeat in the Battle of Towns, the Spanish Empire completely lost its maritime hegemony and was refrigerated by the Spanish king.

After Philip was shot dead, no one was available to the declining Spanish Empire, so Philip IV sent him to New Spain to take over the colonial navy.

Governor Jose was a little dissatisfied with Antonio and said in a deep voice: "Let them come in."

Not long after, Antonio led a group of naval generals in, "Governor!"

Jose glanced at them, "Master Commander, Major Marilud complained to me that the killer was equipped with new weapons. How do you explain?"

Antonio's heart was terrified. After he learned the news from the navy, he knew that the blockade might have expired.

It seems that the Army wants to take the responsibility for failure on the Navy.

"Governor General, I'm just about to report something to you." Antonio did not explain it directly, but said in a roundabout way: "I think this matter may be related to the fact that the killer has obtained supplies."

"Isn't it that the navy's ineffective blockade caused the new business to obtain supplies?" Jose looked sarcastic.

The war was very expensive. Jose was originally planning to wipe out the Xinshang Company in the near future, but now the Xinshang Company has obtained supplies, which undoubtedly disrupted his plan. The colonies will also pay a huge price for postponing the battle.

The Xinshang Company received supplies, and there must be a mistake in the blockade. Antonio was a little inappropriate, but he said with anger: "Governor, the west coastline of North America is so long, and we only have thirty warships, and it would be very difficult to completely blockade. And just a few days ago, the brave Imperial Navy defeated five Ganchao warships in the Jinshan Sea. If the Imperial Navy had not been brave and fearless, I would have only more supplies to transport Ganchao to the Xinshang Company. Therefore, our Navy would not accept your accusation."

Jose was stunned when he heard this, "You mean, you just repelled the Ganchao navy?"

Antonio turned to an officer beside him and said, "Bellas, say it."

Captain Bellas took a step forward, "Governor General, while the Juan was patrolling north, he discovered a Japanese colonial stronghold in Vancouver Bay. I was about to bring this news back to Mexico. Unexpectedly, during the return journey, we collided with Ganchao's warships in the Jinshan Sea, with as many as five."

"The Japanese stronghold, the warship of Ganchao?" Jose pondered.

He thought for a moment and immediately understood that the new merchant company received supplies and had new muskets, which may not be the navy's slackness, but the increase in aid.

After all, it is difficult for thirty warships to block the long west coastline. Faced with the armed merchant ships of Ganchao, Spanish warships may still be competent with their advantages of artillery and tonnage, but facing the supply fleet of five Ganchao warships, a single Spanish warship can only escape.

Antonio saw Jose's expression and expressed his intention to come over, "Governor General, the west coast of North America is long, and Ganchao warships appear on the west coast. With the number of our current fleet, it is difficult to completely block the coast. I came today to hope that the Governor General will send us additional warships or narrow our blockade area. Ganchao's warships appear in the Eastern Pacific waters, and our warships must patrol together. Now there are not enough warships, so we can only block Kingsoft Port."

The five Ganchao warships swung around the west coast, which greatly shocked the Spanish Navy. Their sea control rights were challenged, and a single warship did not dare to patrol, so as not to be hunted by Ganchao warships.

Therefore, Antonio could only suggest that Jose abandon part of the less important coastline and centrally blockade the Port of Kingsoft.

In this way, Spanish warships were concentrated, and even if the five Ganchao warships appeared again, they were not afraid.

When Jose heard this, he frowned and gave up other coastlines. The merchant ships in Ganchao could continue to secretly send supplies to Xinshang Company. How could he destroy Xinshang Company at that time?

"No!" Jose said in a deep voice: "These Ganchao warships come from afar and have no strongholds to supply them. It is impossible for them to stay in the Eastern Pacific for a long time. I thought they should have returned to Ganchao now."

Antonio said: "Governor General, we don't know how many warships Ganchao has sent, what if they have a second batch of warships?"

"Impossible?" Jose said in a deep voice: "Gan Chao people sent warships over. The food and fresh water stored on the ships could not support them to stay in the Eastern Pacific for a long time. They spent a lot of money, but they could only show their side and immediately returned to Gan Chao. It may even be because of the delay of time and not enough food to return. The risk is extremely huge. I don't think the emperor of Gan Chao would do such meaningless things again."

Antonio was silent because Jose said nothing. Gan Chao's fleet traveled thousands of miles away and had to return immediately after showing his face. Otherwise, he might starve to death on the way back because of excessive food consumption. Gan Chao's rulers would probably not send a second fleet to come.

Jose has now put aside his thoughts of complaining about the navy. The appearance of Ganchao fleet made him feel a little uneasy and was eager to end the war in North America.

If he wanted to destroy the Xinshang Company, he still needed the cooperation of the Navy, so he solemnly said: "Commander, the empire's general attack on the Xinshang Company is about to begin. I hope the Navy must block the Xinshang Company and cannot allow them to obtain supplies again."

"Okay!" Antonio could only nod, "The Navy will do its best."

Jose thought of the Japanese building a stronghold in Vancouver at this time, and asked, "Captain Bellas, what happened to the Japanese building a stronghold?"

At that moment, Bellas told him what he knew and asked: "Governor General, we can destroy them and seize a large number of supplies by sending three warships."

Although Spain once formed an alliance with Japan, that was the past. Moreover, America was Spain's private land, and the Japanese seemed to have brought a lot of supplies. What Bellas thought of was a robbery.

After hearing this, Jose pondered, "This matter makes me think about it."
