Chapter 0433 Ringing the Republic
After the implementation of the recruitment plan, the number of people under Chen Zhen's command increased by more than 6,000.
He finally developed a strong maritime combat power according to the plan he had conceived! If this were to be in the real world, such a fleet would have been like a hegemon in the Age of Discovery.
Unfortunately, Chen Zhen’s potential opponent, the Spanish Empire, did not understand the confidence of Chen Zhen and his gang.
On the surface, although Chen Zhen and his gang rose rapidly, their strength was still weak, with less than 10,000 people leading the people, and the number of fleet ships was only 100... You should know that the number of sailing ships in a medium-sized fleet of the Spanish Empire reached four or five hundred.
News that Mario and his gang were wiped out. Under the double pressure of the king of the Spanish Empire, the Fernando family had to spend a lot of money to hire other big pirates to destroy Chen Zhen.
After the location of Xiangdangdang Island was re-established, these pirate groups came in a constant stream.
They are also very powerful, but Chen Zhen and his gang easily beat them into countless ships every time, and they had to escape in panic.
When the King of the Spanish Empire learned about this, he was furious and claimed that he would remove the Fernando family from the nobles! The trouble is so great. The Fernando family was once the largest family in the Spanish Empire, and the king had long seen them unhappy!
Now that the handle has been left, the king wants to deal with their Fernando family!
The Fernando family has a large number of people. If such a large family is abandoned, it will be completely finished.
In order not to be removed from the list, the Fernando family could only continue to spend money. Even if there were problems with the family's internal finances, they had to continue to borrow money to hire the Pirates. This time, they no longer hired a team alone, but hired many teams.
This team received articles everywhere, after receiving them at a low price, they sold them at a high price, or they could get lucky with Dayuewen.
But in Chen Zhen's opinion, they are just struggling to death.
The pirate group came endlessly, and Chen Zhen defeated them one by one, and the more he beat them, the more he became, the more he became. Gradually... some pirate groups came to vote! The leaders of the pirate group who came to join Chen Zhen came alone. They were all heroes, not third-rate pirates like Mario who were unscrupulous and useless pirates.
They just admire people like Chen Zhen and are willing to follow Chen Zhen.
Of course, Chen Zhen agreed to the hero join his gang. After he agreed, the leader of the pirate group dripped blood in Chen Zhen's cauldron and became Chen Zhen's deputy lord. Their island also told him to fly from the rampant pirates and merged on Xiangdangdang Island.
After the wave of pirate surrendering Chen Zhen ended - because Chen Zhen had only 9 deputy lords in total - Chen Zhen's strength was greatly improved, and he added more than 17,000 leaders, the number of deputy lords reached 9, and the number of deputy heroes reached 81!
The level of Lord Chen Zhen has reached the level 5 level 45 level!
The same is true for all heroes, and everyone's level has been improved.
Xiangdangdang Island has a total of 10 islands integrated together to form a medium-sized island. The location of the island is infinitely close to the China Sea.
In order to be slightly closer to Xiangdangdang Island, the owner of the Slave Island Island, Houston, also recruited 9 deputy lords, and the location of the Slave Island has also changed, approaching the waters where Xiangdangdang Island is located.
This caused a series of chain reactions. In order to be closer to the slave islands, all large and small islands in the East China Sea recruited deputy lords to make themselves closer to the slave island, so that they could be traded more conveniently.
The practice of Xidangdang Island has caused a huge wave in the East China Sea and formed a major industry reshuffle.
Many island lords want to join Chen Zhen and become Chen Zhen’s direct lords, but Chen Zhen really has no place.
"Why do you think about it and join my deputy lord and be the deputy lord?" Chen Zhen said to the enthusiastic lords with some embarrassment that this approach is a bit like recruiting agents, one level after another...
Unexpectedly, these island lords decided to join Deputy Lord Chen Zhen.
The island is getting bigger and bigger, and it is hard to count how many people are. Since the iron ore on Rissi Island has basically been mined and Chen Zhen has never obtained new iron ore. Therefore, the scale of his fleet has remained at the scale of 15 large steel steamship battleships and 81 small steel steamship battleships, and has not been expanded any more.
The Fernando family shot themselves in the foot, but instead of suppressing Chen Zhen's power, they consumed all their family's finances.
To make matters worse, the King of the Spanish Empire was very angry and took his anger on this already drained family, and beheaded the patriarch of the Fernando family. The name of the Fernando family was removed from the list from then on.
Although Chen Zhen had advanced warships in his hands were widely spread in the Endless Sea East China Sea, the upper class of the Spanish Empire felt that it was very mysterious.
They still felt that no one would have ships on this sea that were more advanced than the navy of the Spanish Empire.
The ships of the Spanish Empire Navy fleet are indeed of high quality, but they are all sailboats no matter how they say they are, but they are too arrogant and do not recognize what their opponents are.
The king of the Spanish Empire sent a medium-sized fleet with a total number of approximately 500 ships.
There were all large, medium and small sailboats, but they were beaten by Chen Zhen's fleet and could not even support them for ten minutes.
The Spanish Empire did not give up and gathered a fleet of 3,000 ships to compete with Chen Zhen's fleet, but it still never fought.
There is no way to fight this kind of unequal naval battle. Chen Zhen's ship was fast, had high protection, advanced artillery, and fierce firepower. The sailing ships of the Spanish Empire were like a pile of decaying wood in front of Chen Zhen's fleet.
After this battle, the Spanish Empire no longer dared to act rashly, but they were secretly gathering a large fleet of 50,000 ships.
50,000 ships! The Spanish Imperial Navy generals all felt that such a large number of fleets should be able to suppress Chen Zhen and his group of forces this time!
But what the Spanish Empire did not expect was that one day a few months later, Chen Zhen’s Xiangdangdang Island actually announced the establishment of the Xiangdangdang Republic. The lord Chen Zhen publicly challenged the Spanish Empire and said what...
"He actually wants to... overthrow imperialism...?!" The king of the Spanish Empire was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He threw the materials in his hand into the lobby, and no ministers in the palace dared to say more.
The materials scattered on the ground clearly displayed: Xiangdangdang Island secretly united the slave island and established the Xiangdang Republic. The lords of the islands in the East China Sea responded and joined. The slave islands declared neutrality on the surface, but in fact they had secretly formed an alliance with the Xiangdang Republic.
