"You personally bring a few whaling ships to the north of the strait to whales, try to attract Flanders Hanseatic ships, and then flee southwest to lead them to the vicinity of this archipelago. Where is my fleet waiting for them? Does this archipelago have a name?" Jiang Zhuyi skipped the matter first. The most urgent thing at the moment is to solve the maritime power of Flanders Hanseatic. Hong Tao didn't want to swagger across the English Channel to challenge at their doorstep. It would be great if he could weaken the opponent's strength first.

When it comes to war, Hong Tao and Carl are not the same style. There is no use for him in the spirit of chivalry and war rules. As long as he can destroy the enemy, how shameless it is to do, how dirty things Hong Tao thinks are worth boasting about. He is not even a pretentious act in his opinion, and that is a pure idiot. Hong Tao's creed is that if he can bully one of them with ten ships, he will never use nine ships. He can save trouble, so he can do whatever he wants.

"If you don't have a name, I'll call it the Whale Islands." Carl looked at the location of the Azores and shook his head.

"This name is not good, change it, it's called the Victory Islands. After the war is over, you will be the best overlord at sea within ten years. Use this name to commemorate it." Naming has become a new hobby of Hong Tao, ranking third after beautiful women and cigars.

"What if I didn't run away?" Carl did not show a happy look. He calculated the distance from the English Channel to the Victory Islands and asked a very realistic question.

"Then I deserve it. I won't redeem you at the price of more than a gold coin. Let your son find a way to go by himself. It's really impossible to give Mia Fortress to others. Just a ten-day distance, you can still catch up with others. You, the first captain of the Royal Navy, can really retire. Don't mess around at sea, it's embarrassing!" Hong Tao ignored Carl's question. He wanted to dominate but was afraid of danger. Good things are all from your Fredrich's family, and you think beautifully!

After discussing the ambush time and the approximate sea coordinates with Carl, Hong Tao returned to the Lieutenant Islands and convened all sailors who were still catching turtles on the shore to set off on the ship and target the Victory Islands! The remaining armed cargo ship and 200 army soldiers will set off in ten days. They will not be able to fight naval battles, so there is no need to go to the sea to suffer together, so they will feel more comfortable for a few days.

The location of the Victory Islands is actually more suitable for establishing supply stations than the Leeward Islands. It is about 2,000 kilometers away from the European continent, more than 3,000 kilometers away from the North American continent, and a little far from the South American continent. It is a sea springboard between Europe, America and Africa. If a supply station or naval base is established here, it will be much more difficult for Europeans to travel east by the trade winds. Moreover, the fleet starting from here can partially control the path of northwest Europe and south to Africa, and its strategic location is very important. Later generations are also equally important. World police officers, the United States and NATO, have air force bases here.

This archipelago consists of seven or eight small islands, which stretches hundreds of kilometers from east to west. The largest island is on the east. Hong Tao forgot what he called later generations. Even if he didn't forget, he didn't want to develop that island. There were many earthquakes on it and it was okay to live in it, but it was not appropriate to build large shipyards, factories, and bases.

Texela Island, located in the middle, is Hong Tao’s target. Although this island is small, the ports and US military bases in later generations are here, so the earthquake is obviously not obvious. Don’t think about it yourself, just follow historical experience Xiao Ruo Cao’s safestness.

"What a good place, it's neither cold nor hot, there are so many forests and hot springs, it's good to build a vacation villa." A warship was left on the east and north sides to warn each. Hong Tao got ashore by himself and took more than a dozen sailors to a dead crater in the middle of the island. Looking around, he looked at the island carefully and felt quite satisfied. There were no indigenous people here, but the climate was very suitable for human survival. There were woods, rivers, peaks, and plains. There was a higher mountain in the east. Hong Tao didn't dare to challenge it. It was too high.

"Wait and talk about it. Let's go and find if there is a suitable bay for boats. I'll be comfortable here for two days. Go to the boat to take down the tent, then go and catch some crabs. Let's have a small seafood at noon! Big gold chain watch, three small barbecue meals a day." After running around the sea for several months, I can finally stay on the shore for a few days. Although Hong Tao likes the sea, people are land creatures after all, and they have a natural sense of intimacy with the land, especially in this beautiful place, they feel comfortable looking at it.

Hong Tao was so comfortable that the sea animals on the island were in trouble. He ate in a variety of ways every day, but he couldn't catch them. He took his sailors to the sea, holding a copper tube several meters long in his mouth, and diving in big iron shoes. This set of equipment should be the originator of equipment diving. The hand-cranked blower leading to the ship was used for ventilation, and the large iron shoes were for stable walking on the seabed. In fact, Hong Tao found that it was not for fun, but for cleaning and simple repairing the bottom of the ship. It cannot dive too deep. Five meters is a safety limit, and it is not safer if it is deep.

Carl became the savior of shallow sea creatures in the Victory Islands. Two weeks later, the Texas, who was in charge of the alert in the east, ran back, and told the fleet's duty watchman in flags while running, and found the enemy situation in the east!

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!" Maybe it was because he had been away from the Chinese environment for too long, and Carl could no longer remember too many Chinese swear words. The only thing he remembered was these three eggs, and they were all given to Hong Tao. When he was chased by more than ten Flanders Hanseatic warships for thousands of kilometers, he finally ran to the agreed location, and found that Hong Tao was sitting under the sunshine on the deck, smoking a cigar and fishing.

Carl was really anxious this time. Not only did he want to scold, but he also had to let the lookout hand pass these words to Hong Tao in flags. He couldn't wait to come over to curse in person by boat. He couldn't say that he would die for a long time, but this time the bait was too similar. There were two of the four whaling ships left, and the other two ships were surrounded by pursuers in order to protect their breakthrough.

After leaving Carl Fort with his bait fleet, he had been wandering around the waters between the north side of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Cantabrian Sea, pretending to be chasing whales. As a result, after less than a week of wandering around, five or six sailboats with Flanders Hanseatic flags emerged from the English Channel.

At first, Carl planned to tease the novice sailors of Flanders Hanseatics, but did not evacuate to the southwest at full speed, and always kept a distance of four or five hours from the other party. But what he never expected was that this time his hometown bird was fooled by the little eagle. He and Hong Tao designed to ambush others, but they didn't give it in vain. The fleet from the north was just a dog that drove away prey, and another fleet had already gone around the south, which was the net to capture prey.

Suddenly he was attacked by the north and south. Even though Carl had rich experience in naval combat and sailing control skills, he had no way to retreat. Fight hard, the number of cannons is not as large as others, and the performance is not as good as the opponent can be killed instantly, so he will definitely not be able to gain advantage. Run, more than a dozen ships have opened a semicircular net, and they have taken the lead. Once they are bitten, they may be wiped out.

In the end, we have to rely on sailors like Carl, who were trained from slaves to form an arrow formation, use his ship as a shield, and send Carl's ship out of the encirclement. No wonder the ancients said that they were chasing, and they were often scholars who were unfaithful. Among the people from the bottom, there were relatively many people who were grateful for their kindness. The more people like Hong Tao, who always understood the truth, the more they would lose their chains at critical moments.

The encirclement rushed out, but Carl was not at all easy in the next few days. The speed of those ships was not slower than that of the salmon-level, especially in the case of a tailwind. Carl used all the methods he could think of, and could never throw the pursuers too far. He always kept a distance of about half a day, getting closer and farther away.

"Virtue! There is still the face of cursing people! You are no longer worthy of being a captain of the Royal Navy. Your comfortable life has worn off your blood. Compared with the sailing warship, you can be more stupid than the wind speed. I don't know how to turn a few more angles!" Hong Tao did not comfort Carl, who was like a dog, and he was extremely sarcastic and mean, degrading Carl.

"...If you have the ability, I want to see how you, the God of the Ocean, show your power! If you see it, I will sit on the deck and watch. If you sink, I will sink with you!" Carl was very dissatisfied. He felt that he had worked very hard. The reason why he was so passive was not that our army was not powerful, but that the enemy was too cunning. When the performance of the warships was not superior and the number was not superior, he didn't think that Hong Tao could easily defeat the other party, and who was ambushing would be said.

"It's okay to sit, but please move here, don't hinder my gunner's loading! Raise the Sunlight Flag, the Sun God's Warriors, God is watching you in the sky, prove your loyalty to God!" Hong Tao threw the fishing rod into the sea, grabbed Carl's clothes as a hand cloth and wiped his hands full of fishy smell. Suddenly he put away his smiley face, and his whole body shook, and there was a halo behind his head, and then golden light shone everywhere, full of energy from his expression to momentum.

"Ah......Woo! Ah......Woo!" A boat of sailors instantly changed from vacation to combat. They tidied up their clothes, knelt on the deck, chanted a few verses to the sun in the south, and then howled like wild animals. The sound was simple, with only two syllables, but they were uniform, passing through the sea breeze and waves, and together with the rising sun flag, they passed Hong Tao's command to other ships. In an instant, the entire bay was filled with these two syllables, one sounded a long tail sound, and the second sound came to an abrupt end with the rhythm of stomping.
