Super Chief - Chapter 735

Seven warships control the entire northern Caribbean, which is a bit weird to say, but the fact is that it is true.

　　 After the Great China Empire controlled the entire northern part of the West Indies, in fact, all the main passages into the Gulf of Mexico were controlled. As for the Caribbean Sea to the south of the Gulf of Mexico, the Great China Empire can also control more than half.

When the major islands of Cuba, Haiti, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Jamaica are all controlled, then whether it is the Florida Strait between Florida and Cuba, the Windward Channel between Cuba and Haiti or The Mona Strait between the islands of Haiti and Puerto Rico was basically controlled by the navy of the Great Chinese Empire.

　　 Although the widest Strait of Florida is 480 kilometers wide, don’t forget that there is the Bahamas to the east of the Strait of Florida. The chain of islands is enough to block Florida. As for the Xiangfeng Strait and Mona Strait, the width is only about 100 kilometers, and it is very easy to control.

　　 Although the Lesser Antilles has not been regained and the empire is temporarily unable to control the Caribbean Sea in the south, compared to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea is obviously not so important to the empire.

　　Besides, Shixiong doesn’t want to completely tear his face with Spain, so he must leave some territory for Spain in the Caribbean.

　　 Of course, if Shixiong feels that it is time to reclaim the Caribbean Sea in the future, then in terms of the military strength of the empire, reclaiming the Lesser Antilles is only a matter of minutes.

　　 When Count Paulo Fernando returned to Spain by ship, he received news of Carlos III’s death as soon as he landed.

　　 At this time, the Spanish kingdom was in power by the universally recognized short-sighted and obedient Carlos IV.

　　 What kind of person Carlos IV was? In the era before the Stone Bear crossed, historians from almost all over the world gave him a judgment. It was a judgment that could not be changed even if he lifted the lid of the coffin.

　　 This guy is an out-and-out mediocrity. Although his father Carlos III, his grandfather Fernando VI, and his grandfather Philip V throughout the eighteenth century, the hidden dangers, contradictions and evil consequences that have erupted after Carlos IV came to power, but apart from these factors In addition, his own mediocrity is also the chief culprit in causing the Kingdom of Spain to completely fall into a second-rate European country.

　　 This guy is a very soft-eared person. To put it bluntly, he is a person without any independent opinions. Such a person is the supreme head of a country, and one can imagine how much suffering this country will suffer.

　　 The lack of independent opinion means the lack of judgment. He listens to others for everything. This is not the quality that a head of state should have. But Carlos IV is such a person.

　　 The famous Battle of Trafalgar in history broke out in the era of Carlos IV.

　　 Later, because of this famous naval battle, I am afraid everyone knows what Spain has become.

Therefore, when Paulo Fernando returned to Madrid and met with the new King Carlos IV, he uttered what the stone bear said completely, and at the same time, Count Fernando spoke very impressively to Dahua. The view of the empire.

　　 Carlos IV, who just came to power, has not been seized by his wife Maria Luisa at this time, and his wife’s lover Godoy has not yet entered the Spanish regime. Therefore, at this time, Carlos IV was also a little bit awkward after hearing the information given by Count Fernando.

　　 For such a faint and unintentional king, he simply cannot make a wise judgment on the situation facing the Governorate of New Spain.

　　 So, a group of high-level officials, including the Spanish Chief Minister Lorida Blanca, were summoned by Carlos IV. It’s just that there are fierce disputes among these ministers.

　　 The conservatives headed by Paul Fernando and the Spanish Royal Admiral Perez are unwilling to provoke the Great Chinese Empire. That’s right, the Lieutenant Admiral Perez in the three-nation combined fleet has now been promoted to admiral and has become a powerful figure in the Royal Spanish Navy.

　　 These people are all people who have seen the Battle of Boston and the founding ceremony of the Great China Empire. They certainly know how terrifying the Great China Empire is. As far as the current strength of the Spanish Kingdom is concerned, it is a delusion to keep the New Spanish Governorate.

　　 But some high-level officials, headed by Chief Minister Lorida Blanca, have not seen the horror of the Great China Empire with their own eyes, so they insist on keeping the New Spain Governor’s District…

　　 Although Lorida Blanca is the Chief Minister, his influence in the military, especially the navy, is not that great. The senior Spanish Royal Navy, headed by Admiral Perez, was totally unwilling to send a navy to support the New Spain Governorate.

　　Admiral Perez’s reason is simple. The Upwind Fleet stationed in Havana has almost half of the Spanish Navy’s number of warships. It is an extremely powerful fleet. But now, even the Deadwind Fleet has been defeated by the steel battleships of the Great China Empire. Most of the Deadwind Fleet’s warships have been captured by the Great China Empire. In this case, even the Royal Navy’s warships are pulled. In the past, it was a waste of talk, but it would cause even greater losses.

　　 And the local fleet had suffered heavy losses in the previous Gibraltar Fortress attack and defense battle~www.mtlnovel.com~ If the warship is lost again, even the safety of the homeland cannot be guaranteed!

　　Of course, these high-ranking naval officers knew the horror of the steel battleships of the Great China Empire, but the problem was that Lorida Blanca didn’t know.

　　 So the Spanish high-level officials began to wrangle like this. At this time, even if Carlos IV had a little bit of courage and stood directly on one side, then he could directly decide whether to fight or make peace with the Great China Empire.

　　 By the way, Carlos IV is such a soft-eared guy who is inferior to a three-year-old chick. Letting such a waste king make a decision is destined to cause this major event to be unable to be resolved in a short time.

The Great China Empire didn’t care about this. After the Imperial Navy’s fleet completely controlled the northern half of the West Indies, a large amount of supplies were continuously sent to the first and second divisions under Mexico City through Veracruz. After the Division and the Eighth Division were in the hands, Kuai Ma issued the order to break through Mexico City…

　　 Mexico City is a city with a long history. It is also the capital of the Governor-General of New Spain, but there is no qualification to stop it in front of the cannon.

　　 On January 21, 1789, after Kuaima issued the order to attack Mexico City, in just one day, the entire Mexico City had fallen into the hands of the Grim Bear Army.

　　 The people headed by the governor of the New Spain Governorate, Luis Gonzalez. Marquis de Moya, also fled and surrendered. Mexico City has completely fallen into the hands of the Great Chinese Empire!
