Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 1039 Disrupting the Deployment
Queen Anna probably felt that Spain had nothing to do with the other countries of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance. As long as few people knew about it, it was unlikely that the news would leak out.

How could she have imagined that Duke Goodman had already defected to the Ming Empire!
Moreover, it is impossible for Felipe IV to do everything by himself.

Such as conveying orders.

It would be impossible for him to go to Valencia to convey his orders to Oquendo in person. These matters have to be arranged by Duke Goodman, and it is no wonder that the secrets are not leaked!
Queen Anna hurried to Madrid, pulled Felipe IV and said: "Little Felipe, quickly give an order to let Oquendo lead all the armored warships to go to England to show their face first, and then go to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for a circle, Familiarize yourself with the course."

what?
Felipe IV was quite inexplicable and said: "Mom, what is this for?
These armored warships are the key to protecting our Spain, why should I send them out to wander around? "

Queen Anna explained helplessly: "Now Britain, Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire, including Wallenstein's Kingdom of Bohemia don't want to make a move first.

We can only deceive the United Kingdom and let them take the lead, and Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bohemia will naturally follow. "

It turned out to be a scammer who made the first move.

Felipe IV thought for a while, then asked again: "Then why is our fleet going to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean? Stay!"

Queen Anna shook her head repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, the Ming Empire is currently focusing on the western front, and they don't have many troops on the eastern front, so the possibility of attacking is unlikely.

If I were the emperor of the Ming Empire, I would definitely look at the specific battle situation on the western front before deciding whether to fight on the eastern front.

So, you don't have to worry about the Ming Empire launching an attack on the Eastern Front in the near future.

The reason why we asked Oquendo to lead the fleet to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is mainly to be familiar with the waterway, and it is incidental to trick the British into attacking.

Because the Duke of Richelieu made a plan, as long as the British attack, we will gather all the ships to go to South America to rob resources. "

It turned out to be the case.

Felipe IV thought for a while, and then asked: "The Atlantic Ocean is so big, how does Oquendo know which route to take?"

Queen Anna said without hesitation: "You don't need to worry about this, Prince Hendrick is on his way to Valencia, if your order is passed on, he should also arrive.

He has already made several round trips in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and he is very familiar with the route there, so it is enough for Oquendo to follow him for a trip.

By the way, let people prepare well. If the British really attack, we will enter South America.

At that time, you will ask Oquendo to come back and pick up the [-] troops to replenish food and fresh water at the port south of the Bay of Biscay. When the French and Dutch fleets arrive, they will set off together and go straight to South America. "

It turns out that there are still people leading the way, so there is no problem.

Philip IV said loudly without hesitation: "Come on, let Goodman come over."

Queen Anna thought for a while, but still did not accompany Felipe IV to meet Duke Goodman.

After all, Felipe IV is already the king at the moment, if she keeps pointing fingers around others, it will not be good to spread the word.

She is the queen of France. If people always see Felipe IV as a puppet and obey her in everything, what will the Spanish subjects think?
Philip IV didn't know that Duke Goodman had rebelled, and he was still his right-hand man.

When Duke Goodman heard that Felipe IV inexplicably arranged for the naval fleet to go to England and the Atlantic, he knew it was abnormal.

He pretended to be curious, and after some careful inquiries, Philip IV told him all the plans of Queen Anna and Duke Richelieu!

When Wang Chong received the news, he rushed to the West Yindu Islands to report the news.

When Taichang heard the news, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Because at this moment, all of Daming's naval warships in America were transferred to the east coast of North America to prevent the British from looting.

Moreover, his plan is to destroy the British ships and then send a fleet to the Kingdom of West Africa to take the 100 million horses there to Portugal. At the same time, the 100 million Indian tribes in North America and South America will also launch an attack on the Governorate of New Spain. .

In this way, the defense power of South America is tantamount to being extremely weak. If thousands of ships follow the British and rush to South America, Xinma City may fall!

The Duke of Richelieu's move was really shady, and it directly disrupted their pre-planned strategy.

Fortunately, most of the British fleet and the French fleet are sailing ships, and they are not fast when the wind is not smooth.

They still have enough time to adjust their strategies.

In the meeting room of the flagship, Taichang, Sun Chuanting and Nan Juyi stood in front of the huge world map and pondered.

Taichang stared at the map for a while, and then said solemnly: "Bo Ya, we should have wiped out the British fleet on the east coast of North America first, and then go to South America to snipe the Spanish and French fleets, shouldn't it be too late?"

Sun Chuanting heard the words, stretched out his hand to draw on the map for a while, and then said cautiously: "It should be too late, because the British fleet can go directly in a straight line, and can reach the east coast of North America without detours to avoid the monitoring of our Azores Islands." .

The Spaniards and French fleets had to bypass the monitoring of the Azores and the Canary Islands to reach South America. This detour was at least five or six thousand miles.

In addition, South America is already five or six thousand miles away from the European continent than North America, and their plan is to follow the British fleet before setting off.

As a result, they arrived in South America at least 20 days later than the British.

After sniping the British fleet, we can let the Aegis ship and the Spike ship go first to South America, and let the Dragon ship clean up the battlefield before setting off.

In this way, it will not take 20 days for our fleet to reach South America. "

Hearing this, Taichang nodded slightly, and then sighed: "Duke Richelieu's tricks really messed us up a bit. To be on the safe side, we can't send 50 people from South America to attack the Governor-General of New Spain in advance. .

In this way, it will take about a month to delay the completion of the two naval battles.

Moreover, after two naval battles, our warships had to pull 50 people from South America to the south of the Governorate of New Spain, and then go to Africa to pull people.

In this way, there will be a delay of about a month.

If this delay continues, this decisive battle may not be finished this year. "

Not necessarily.

Nan Juyi thought for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, why don't we use armed merchant ships to pull people?

At the moment, there seem to be a lot of armed merchant ships in the Americas. Anyway, there is no shortage of armed merchant ships when Wei Chen dispatches supplies. "

The reason for this is simple, because the Continental Alliance still has warships.

Now they not only have ordinary warships, but also ironclad warships, and they have converted quite a few ships from sails.

If the armed merchant ship pulls people and encounters the European Union fleet attack, it will be in big trouble.

In other words, they have to send Aegis ships or Dragon warships to protect them when armed merchant ships pull people.

In this way, it would be easier to use the aegis ship and the dragon battleship to pull people directly.

However, this time is different.

The Duke of Richelieu should have pulled out all the ships that can be mobilized by the Continental Union. As long as they can destroy the two fleets of the Continental Confederation in North America and South America, the Continental Continent will basically have no warships, and armed merchant ships will have no problem pulling people. up.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but suddenly said: "We didn't use armed merchant ships to pull people because we were afraid of being ambushed by the fleet of the European Union. After all, they were so anxious to go to the Americas to plunder. Ambushing our armed merchant ships is like going to the Americas to plunder." Keep it simple.

If they find that our armed merchant ships are pulling people, they will definitely run to ambush.

It's different now. These two fleets that came to America to plunder should be all the warships that can be mobilized by the European Union.

As long as we can annihilate these two fleets, there will be no danger to armed merchant ships.

Boya, how many armed merchant ships can be mobilized in America now? "

Sun Chuanting estimated: "There are probably more than 4000 ships. It is difficult to count the exact number, because some armed merchant ships belong to Western companies, and they are still transporting goods everywhere. It is not easy to count."

More than 4000 ships are almost the same.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "How about this, first mobilize two thousand armed merchant ships to Xinma City.

If our fleet arrives before the Spanish and French fleets arrive, at least they will be able to support them.

In addition, another [-] armed merchant ships were mobilized to the Cape Verde Islands.

You told Mingshi and Panzong to closely monitor the Spanish and French fleets, and once they left the European continent, let the two thousand armed merchant ships start to transfer the one million people from the West African Kingdom.

There are still a hundred flying dragon warships in the Ming Dynasty, so let him send flying dragon warships to spread around the armed merchant ships, and it is enough to protect them.

Anyway, North Africa is very close to Portugal, and it will take them only a few days to make a round trip.

By the way, the Kingdom of West Africa still has 3000 armed merchant ships and more than [-] Spike warships.

Let them mobilize 30 armed merchant ships and [-] Spike warships to pull together. There must be no problem pulling more than [-] horses at a time, and it will be done in three trips.

If we snipe and play the Spanish and French fleets in the Americas, we will leave all the Spike warships and 50 armed merchant ships to pull people together, and [-] horses should be able to pull them all in one trip.

As for the Aegis Ship and Flying Dragon Battleship, they rushed directly to the East African Kingdom to pull people.

At that time, the 100 armed merchant ships in West Africa should have finished pulling people, and let them go directly to the Kingdom of East Africa, and the [-] million people over there should be able to pull them to Spain in one trip.

That way we won't lose any time. "

Sun Chuanting hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang thought about it again, and then waved his hand and said: "It's almost done, you send someone to order that the Flying Dragon warships rented by Lisbon, the Azores, the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands will take the British, Spaniards and French The human fleet is on the lookout, we just wait for them to come and die."
