In November, Hong Tao once again inspected the fleet and army soldiers preparing for the expedition in Sun City. Seven Virginia-class warships, two salmon-class equipped with Qizu guns, and two salmon-class continuing to use the front armored plate guns, a total of eleven warships formed the expedition fleet.

There are also 200 army soldiers who also boarded the armed cargo ship with five sixty-mm mortars. They will act as the Marine Corps. When they need to go ashore to attack, they will be the main force, and the insufficient number will be supplemented by sailors using hunting rifles. However, there is one thing, no war horses can be used to ride, whether it is the army or the sailor. Sun City's shipping capacity is insufficient, and there are not so many sea ships carrying war horses to Europe together.

Having had twenty enemies with a record of 600, Hong Tao was very confident in naval battles. What's wrong with the few ships? At most, ten fights 100 more, the relative quantity comparison was reduced. Moreover, this naval battle does not require protection of any shore targets. It is completely light-fitting, and fighting whatever you want without any worries. Even if the enemy has 600 warships, Hong Tao is not afraid. Can he still run away if he can't beat them? The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy is tired and disturbs them, and drags down the enemy alive, and drags the enemy to death is Hong Tao's only tactic. Virginia-class warships and Qizu cannons are also excellent choices to implement this rogue tactic.

The ancients said that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Hong Tao calculated the process and the ending, but did not calculate the beginning. To put it simply, he forgot that the Indian sailors' long-distance abilities were not Marines. Although they also received sea training, offshore and ocean-distance are completely different environments, and the North Atlantic routes in winter are two completely different environments.

It took fifteen days to sail to Fort Mia from Sun City. This section of sea route was normal. However, after just eleven days of departure from Fort Mia, Hong Tao had to take the fleet back to Fort Mia to rest in the crosswind. The ship could only withstand the strong winds and waves of the North Atlantic, but the people on the ship could not withstand it, especially the army carried on the cargo ship, which had large-scale severe seasickness. In this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, seasickness would be too serious and would die.

What to do? There is no way! The body can only gradually adapt through relatively low seasickness. In order to adjust the state of the soldiers, Hong Tao had to take his fleet from Fort Mia to the east from Fort Mia to Prince Edward Island that he and Swan had explored, and built a simple dock and supply station here. Then Fort Mia transported supplies to the place, and then began a month-long high sea conditions training.

You are seasick, so let's make you faint every now and then. If you have nothing to do, take the fleet to the south of Newfoundland Island to enjoy the biting cold wind in the North Atlantic. This is called evil treatment! Not only do you want to cure the seasickness of these Indian soldiers, but you also have to prevent them from trembling in blankets when they reach high latitudes, and change their living habits in tropical areas.

The traditional Chinese festival of the Spring Festival was brought to North America by Hong Tao and changed to the birthday of the Sun God. As for why the sun was born in the middle of winter, there is no need to explain at all. Hong Tao said yes, then it must be.

On Prince Edward Island, spending a reindeer-based Spring Festival with the local native Indians, Hong Tao's expeditionary fleet embarked on a journey east again. This time, Hong Tao made up his mind that even if the soldiers spit out their bitter galls, they had to sail to the leeward Islands in one breath. Without the army, there would be no more. As long as the sailors did not fall down on a large scale, they had to persevere.

The effect of treating high-intensity evil in this month is quite good. Seasickness is not cured, and it is still dizzy, but the degree has been reduced a lot. As long as you can eat and vomit it out, the body's resistance will not drop significantly, and you will be able to live. Hong Tao's requirements are not high. As long as most soldiers can survive and stay in the supply station of the Lectuary Islands, they will become a hero again after half a month of cultivation.

Fortunately, most of the time it was crosswind. The Expeditionary Fleet successfully arrived at the supply station of the Lieward Islands twenty days later. The personnel losses were not large, and only seven soldiers were sleeping in the sea due to injuries. This loss was normal in the days of the sail warship. Usually, the whaling ships in Sun City went out for two months and could not guarantee that they would return with all their tails.

"Oh God, you're back! Those damn pirates actually ran to my fortress to demonstrate. If you don't drive them away, I wouldn't dare to go to the Port of Tripoli to load the goods. I'm not relieved to rely on Baron Jiang to stay here." After arranging the fleet's rest, Hong Tao came to Carl's Fort on an armed cargo ship. When he met Carl, he looked like he met his relatives, with a look of grievance and reluctance. He, the sea overlord who had been rampant in the Strait of Gibraltar for more than ten years, has now tasted the feeling of not being able to go out to sea with peace of mind.

"I remember you haven't seen me so happy for many years. Should I thank Flanders Hansea? They helped me test your nature, and use people to face forward but not backward!" Hong Tao was very disgusted with Carl's performance. Since Mia and Philip returned to Europe, Carl has been devoted to the family. Later, with the territory of Mia Fort Mia, he simply did not show up. If this was not the case, it would be difficult for him to meet him.

"I am all the king, of course time is very tight. I have to transport oil to Sun City and slaves to Mia Fort Mia Fort. I will take you to Mia Fort Mia, which is no longer a small fishing village! I have occupied the island north of the river estuary. After a while, I am planning to send troops north with Jones' father to kill a tribe entrenched in the upper reaches! Hahaha... I like the feeling of being a king very much. Why were you so unhappy to be an emperor at the beginning?" Carl said no matter how Hong Tao spoke, the emperor was always right. It would be useless to argue with him.

"You can give up this plan. This time I took the fleet and happened to pass by Fort Mia and helped you get rid of the upstream tribe. Then Jones paid me a batch of grain as compensation, and asked your stupid son to call me dad for a few days." When Hong Tao stayed in Fort Mia, he really helped Carl clean up the surrounding indigenous forces, and he didn't have any effort, just treat it as training. Of course, he cheated on Jones a lot of food, so he couldn't do anything in vain.

"Give me the food back! I saved it bit by bit!" Carl was not very concerned about who his son called his father, but when he heard Hong Tao took the food from Mia Fort, he rushed up and pinched Hong Tao's neck and shook it hard. No wonder Carl was anxious. A new settlement wanted to grow and grow, two main things were the main things, one was food and the other was the population, and food was the main condition that determined the population.

"I didn't take your food in vain. I did my best. And I left Jones a new crop with a higher yield than other foods. You won't lose!" Hong Tao quietly spread apart one of Carl's hands with his thumb, and accumulating energy, intending to give the red beard a shoulder-stop. He hadn't been tormenting him like this for many years, and he was a little itchy.

"Stop! Don't do it! We are not young people anymore, you will break me!" Unfortunately, Hong Tao's trick failed. The two of them were too familiar with each other, especially after being thrown countless times, always guarding against Hong Tao's actions has become Carl's instinctive reaction.

"I need some low-grade rum. Your cousin's doctors who support me are still there, right? Get the hospital ready and the war will start soon." Hong Tao found it boring to take advantage of it, so he might as well talk about serious things.

"The hospital is in the restaurant of my castle. Your baron lady is so generous. Why didn't she free up the restaurant of Baron Castle?" When she mentioned the hospital, Carl looked around first, but didn't see Jiang Zhuyi's figure, and then she began to complain.

"What are you chasing with a woman? You don't come back here. It's not a bad thing to let her take advantage. By the way, where are she?"

"She went to Eagle Castle to attend Aya's wedding and left last month. Your lover is really an eagle-like woman. Do you think she has any plans besides attending the wedding?" When she talked about Jiang Zhuyi, Carl's tone became very complicated, both disgusting and a little admiring.

"Eagle Fort! Which Eagle Fort? It's not Eagle Fort on the edge of the Al River to the north of the mountain, right?" Hong Tao heard a somewhat familiar name again. If the Eagle Fort Carl mentioned was really the Eagle Fort he had visited in later generations, this would be a bit big.

There are many castles or monasteries in Europe called Eagle Castle. Medium-century Europeans were also very weak in naming names, like Hong Tao. They like to name people, land, and animals, which is the most convenient and do not need to think about it. Moreover, they are also shameless. They build a broken house on a land bundle that is not as tall as a telephone pole, and they dare to say that it is the home of the Eagle, which is also very similar to Hong Tao.

But there is an Eagle Castle that is the most authentic and famous in Europe. It is really tall because it was built in the mountains of Switzerland. In addition to being tall, this Eagle Castle is also the birthplace of the family that can make European trembling. This family has produced many famous European emperors, and ruled the largest empire in Europe for hundreds of years, and its bloodlines have almost spread to every European royal family. If the European royal family in later generations did not carry some bloodlines of this family, it would definitely be a fake. It is the guardian of the double-headed eagle, the Habsburg family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire! Another name of Eagle Castle is Habsburg.

Of course, these great achievements were all things that happened after the Middle Ages. Hong Tao has never heard of where the Habsburg family is. After all, he has traveled around Europe and is on par with the emperor and the king. He has never heard of this name in so many years, and I don’t know why Jiang Zhuyi thought of marrying Aya to such a potential stock family.
