The Spaniards found out the truth and finally locked the answer to [Atlantis].

"There is no other possibility." The Spanish were determined.

The truth is revealed, the Spanish's mood is very complicated. If they really lose to the Ocean Fleet of Shanhaicheng, the proud Spanish may be in a state of peace. Because in their eyes, the Eastern country represented by Shanhaicheng in the game is synonymous with backwardness and ignorance.

However, if the Atlantis civilization plays a decisive role in the war, it is a different matter. In the eyes of Westerners, the Atlantis civilization represents an advanced civilization system.

"It's not too embarrassing to think about it." The Spanish comforted himself so much.

But in this way, the Spaniards were full of emotions about the reappearance of Atlantis. Faced with this "culprit" who led to the destruction of the Invincible Armada, they loved and hated.

This battle with the Ocean Fleet of Shanhaicheng has already made Spain a big step behind other Mediterranean countries in exploring Atlantis.

If they don't act, they will have to drink soup.

The problem is that the demise of the Invincible Fleet made the Spanish going out to sea a problem. Not to mention, the ocean fleets of mountains, seas and cities were swimming in the Gibraltar, eyeing them.

"Do you still have to let Shanhaicheng blackmail?"

When the Spanish thought of this, they wanted to vomit blood.

The coastal lord even stated, "It is not a matter of whether to go to sea or not, but to beware of the attack on the coastal city of Shanhai City. The national war is imminent, so let's discuss the matter of Atlantis later!"

“It’s right!”

The Spanish realized that the national war is far from over!

The whole of Spain suddenly fell into crazy preparations for war, and decided to snipe the invading enemy on land. "Shan Haicheng dared to invade, so they must have no return!"

It has to be said that even if a proud nation encounters setbacks, its nature will be difficult to change.

***************

The Spanish made such a fuss to relieve the secret spies from all over the country. They didn't have to worry about it. The entire Mediterranean knew what was going on, and the relevant information was quickly reported to the lords of various countries.

This time, the Mediterranean really caused an uproar.

"The Spanish Invincible Armada is wiped out and the glory is no longer there!" This news is really exciting.

Not only France, Italy, Greece, Egypt and other countries also saw the dawn of attacking the Mediterranean. Taking this opportunity to break Spain's sea control in the Mediterranean in one fell swoop, and quickly became a consensus among the Mediterranean countries.

Of course, some lords were afraid of the Shanhaicheng Ocean Fleet. Even the invincible Spanish fleet was trapped in the hands of the Ocean Fleet. Is there really room for them to move in the future Mediterranean?

"I'm afraid it's a tiger at the front door, and a wolf at the back door!" Some people were worried.

The lords are really in a complicated mood. On the one hand, they are afraid of the strength of the Shanhaicheng Ocean Fleet, and on the other hand, they are unwilling to give up the opportunity to rise in the Mediterranean.

In this way, the forces of all parties met frequently and began to join forces.

The entire Mediterranean has become treacherous.

However, the French lord Henry was extremely determined. As soon as he received the news, he immediately recalled the liaison officer and increased the promised conditions on the basis of the previous situation, in order to form a strategic alliance with Shanhaicheng.

***************

The Mediterranean is about to make a big splash, but Ouyang Shuo is like a ok person, still following the steps.

In the Dragon Head reception room, Ouyang Shuo and Alvaro discussed the appointment.

Alvaro was born in Spain and was very familiar with the two major seas of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The Spanish Invincible Armada in history walked out of the Mediterranean and entered the Atlantic Ocean under the planning of Alvaro.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had no reason to transfer Alvaro back to work in China, otherwise it would be a waste of resources. The best choice is to form a new fleet in the Mediterranean.

Ouyang Shuo planned to form the fifth fleet under the Nanyang Navy, the Mediterranean Fleet, with Alvaro as the Admiral of the Mediterranean Fleet.

The first backbone of the Mediterranean Fleet were more than 56,000 Spanish navy soldiers who had already surrendered to Shanhai City, as well as more than 20,000 sailors, first mates and other senior crew members.

Of course, as usual, the Mediterranean Fleet also needs to carry out necessary mixing.

Ouyang Shuo asked Zheng He to draw a group of backbone generals from the ocean-going fleet to join the Mediterranean Fleet. At the same time, it was stipulated that more than half of the backbone soldiers of the Mediterranean Fleet must be held by local soldiers in Shanhaicheng.

In this way, the Mediterranean Fleet will be composed of three types of personnel: Spanish Navy, local navy soldiers in Shanhaicheng, and pirate prisoners of war in the Gulf of Aden. The three are integrated and compete internally.

The Mediterranean Fleet is lonely overseas. Not to mention that Ouyang Shuo and Alvaro have only made a preliminary acquaintance, even the generals he is familiar with cannot do without taking some precautions.

The vacancies of the Ocean Fleet were naturally filled by the Spanish Navy.

According to the establishment of the Shanhaicheng Navy, a full fleet of 110,000 soldiers and 14,000 crew members. The fleet consists of five formations, each formation containing 22,000 sergeants and 2,800 crew members.

According to the current number of soldiers, the Mediterranean Fleet can only form two and a half formations for the time being. Ouyang Shuo gave Alvaro the organization of three formations, and he would find a way to make up for the shortage of 10,000 soldiers later.

In addition to the Mediterranean Sea, the Mediterranean Fleet also has the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It is even said that the naval camps stationed in the Friendship City of Somalia are all under the jurisdiction of the Mediterranean Fleet.

There is no doubt that this will be the fleet with the widest sea area under the Nanyang Navy.

...

The moment he received the appointment, Alvaro's loyalty increased directly by 10 points. He never expected that Junhou would value him so much and he entrusted him with important tasks as soon as he started.

Even with the current scale of the Mediterranean Fleet, it is enough to be comparable to the Spanish Invincible Fleet in history. Not to mention that Junhou has promised that as long as the time is right, the remaining two formations will be filled.

Of course, Alvaro is a veteran after all, and he immediately becomes the role after taking office.

"Dare you ask Junhou, how to solve the military uniforms, weapons, equipment and warships of the Mediterranean Fleet? How are the fleet stations and logistics supplies arranged?" Alvaro said bluntly.

Zheng He on the side frowned when he heard this.

In Zheng He's opinion, Alvaro's words were already a bit ruthless.

"General Alvaro, please pay attention to your words and do not be rude to the Lord!" Zheng He reminded him.

"What?" Alvaro raised his brow, not knowing it.

When Ouyang Shuo saw this, he waved his hand with a smile.

In fact, this is the difference between the East and the West. Oriental people speak implicitly and introvertedly, and are essentially humble and polite. Westerners speak bluntly and pursue efficiency.

The two have nothing to do with good or bad, they are just different cultural differences.

"The general asked well. The Spanish Navy's uniforms must be replaced. As for weapons and equipment, the general can negotiate with General Zheng He and adjust flexibly according to the military characteristics of the soldiers." Ouyang Shuo said.

Alvaro and Zheng He looked at each other and nodded together, "I understand!"

Speaking of which, Zheng He is Alvaro's direct superior. Alvaro, who was a soldier, naturally would not become more arrogant as soon as he came. He must have the respect he should have.

Alvaro also realized that Zheng He's reminder was actually kind-hearted. It seems that if he wants to integrate into the Shanhai City system, he has to take the initiative to get closer to Zheng He, his boss, and ask for more advice.

"The warships needed by the Mediterranean Fleet will be built by the shipyard in Somalia's Friendship City and are expected to be delivered in two months." Ouyang Shuo was not ready to use the seized Spanish sailboat.

Ouyang Shuo paused for a moment and continued: "The problem of fleet garrison and logistics supply will be solved together. After the marquis decided to salvage the artillery, he immediately sent troops to the Port of Gibraltar to take it back."

The reception room was quiet and smoke filled with gunpowder.

***************

On July 29, the ocean-going fleet returned with a full load and occupied the Port of Gibraltar again.

Spanish lord Juan had previously left some of his troops in the harbor. When the news of the defeat of the Invincible Armada came, he immediately fled in panic. Before leaving, he kidnapped all the people, and after that, he burned the port with a fire.

I think they don’t expect to take back this port again.

The Port of Gibraltar is basically a ghost town now.

Looking at the charred port, Ouyang Shuo and others had different expressions, and Alvaro had the most complicated expression. He did not expect that the Spanish would do so resolutely.

"Okay, the past cannot be pursued." Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Let us build an invincible harbor above this ruin that truly guards the throat of the Mediterranean."

Gibraltar in the game is a huge concave shape, with rolling huge mountains surrounding an excellent natural harbor. The harbor is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea. The mountains are thousands of feet high and the walls are thousands of feet high, and the difficulty of flying birds is perfectly isolated from the Spanish inland, without even a path of intestine.

At the foot of the mountain is a narrow and long arc-shaped land with an area of ​​less than fifty square kilometers, which occupies a smaller area than Friendship City. Because it is located near the sea, the land is heavily saline-alkali land, and it is difficult for ordinary crops to grow here.

Previously, residents mainly made a living by fishing, and at most they transported some soil from other places, spread it in the vegetable fields at home, and planted some vegetables, and lived a very poor life.

In Gaia, where ocean trade has not yet become popular, the strategic position of the Port of Gibraltar has not yet been highlighted. There are few merchant ships traveling to and from the Mediterranean, and it is very difficult for local residents to buy some daily necessities.

Even so, there are still people living here.

It’s just because the wilderness in the game is really not a peaceful place. Although Gibraltar is poor, it can be regarded as a "paradise". Unexpectedly, it changed its master several times in a short period of time.
