Chapter 814 The Battle of the Azores (2)

The Azores, this place is considered by many Europeans to be the legendary Atlantis, but it was discovered here in the 15th century, even when the Age of Discovery was still brewing, and the people who discovered it were Portuguese.◇↓◇↓ Novel.¥f

In other words, this archipelago was originally a Portuguese, but it was indeed a administrative region of the country. The entire sovereignty relationship was clear in the past, but...

Later, the Pacific Empire colonized Portugal, and then the archipelago was interesting. Whose place is?

The people on the island said that they are still Portuguese!

Very loyal...

Since that's the case, Li Mengyang, the emperor of the Pacific Empire, doesn't have much to say. Since you are Portuguese and you are also, you are Portugal. In other words, the country of Portugal has not been destroyed, and their territory has become the Azores, that's all.

Of course, there are some colonies, so the situation looks pretty good, but when the situation around the world develops to this stage, this matter is interesting...

You know, the location of this Azores is very interesting. If you look at it from a broad perspective, this archipelago is very good. In the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, that is, from Portugal to the United States, it can be used as a transit here.

Of course, there is no problem without a transit. The current technology is enough to support ships to sail to the station, and nothing is there.

But...Isn't this a natural transit station, that is, a supply point?

It seems to be true, but in Europe, the United Kingdom-led joint fleet, this place is... a waste of money!

It is said that the Azores are in the middle, but in fact, this place is closer to Portugal. To put it bluntly, for Europe, it is not a good supply point. It is still too far away, and it is still unreachable to fight a war.

The most important thing is that this place is not as good as Canada than Canada. The top leaders of the European Union are all elites and are not fools. Just look at it from the map, Canada is definitely the best choice.

Perhaps most people will think that setting up the supply points directly in Canada seems to be very risky, because it is too close to the Pacific Empire, but in fact, if you look at it a little bigger, you can provide support from the southern corner of Greenland and go to Canada from there.

Then, how great is this?!

This is equivalent to establishing a very beautiful front. From the perspective of Britain, the European Union Fleet set out from Britain. The distance between Greenland and Azores is the same, with almost no difference, or it is a little colder. Moreover, some of Greenland's sovereignty belongs to the future... By the way, the British are still using this idea.

So, it is obvious that Canada is the best choice, and it is like a step-by-step process, very good. But unexpectedly, Canada has fooled all the Europeans!

Then, after Canada, we will have to consider the Azores. Because there seems to be no other choice.

Of course, the United Navy Base Camp is considering this issue, but it’s better to think about it again. The Portuguese on the island said that they should stay neutral and neutral. If the Pacific Empire comes to attack itself, they will definitely ask Europe for help.

Look, how good are they saying?

But in fact... the Pacific Empire has been making the idea of ​​this archipelago for a long time!

The reason is very simple, that is, the geographical location. This island is far from our Pacific Empire, but close to Europe. So, it would be great if it could be built into a supply point.

However, you can't do it blatantly...

All the military operations of the Pacific Imperial Navy before were not close to this archipelago. By the way, warships were all around this archipelago, and the destinations of warships were Portugal, so supplies were delivered.

Even the merchant ships of the Pacific Empire did not come to this archipelago. Wasn’t this archipelago from Portugal before, and later Portugal was like that, so we Portuguese and the Pacific Empire vowed to be incompatible!

This slogan is very loud, but...

Azores is an archipelago, and the place is quite small, but it is just an archipelago. After all, resources are limited. If there is no merchant ship to moor in this place, what should I eat? What should I drink? Do I eat corn cobs produced in this area all day long?

This island is not small and has land, but the days are indeed very ordinary, so... I couldn't hold on for a while.

You know, there are many merchant ships in the Pacific Empire, and if they are strong, how much will the Azores lose? Moreover, the current navigation technology does not necessarily require you to park in your archipelago, anyway, it is not very far from Portugal.

So...this is a secret song.

The Portuguese were still smart. They used their belly as the criterion and agreed to many conditions of the Pacific Empire, such as...

We couldn't send our own ship to us at first...

Yes, you need to hide your strategic intentions.

What ship passed by at the beginning?

They are all South American countries and Canadian merchant ships.

In name, it is to do some business, and secretly, it is to transport war preparation materials, such as oil.

This oil is still in line with transportation, that is, there are actually no large oil storage equipment in the Azores, and the development of this place is actually quite backward. So what should I do?

Li Mengyang thought of a particularly simple way... Just keep the boat directly in the harbor!

By the way, one ship after another is an oil storage tank.

Just this action lasted for more than half a year. Basically, many places in this archipelago were filled with ships. Anyway, Li Mengyang didn't care about these ships and these money.

So, this is to get the Azores done, our Pacific Empire has outpost supply stations, and next...

It was a fleet that was not big or small, so I went to fight against my opponent!

The purpose is actually to create a kind of thing. We must use ocean navigation to fight a war with the joint fleet in the waters near the European continent!

Yes, simply put, it is to push this battlefield forward and near Europe. This is the best tactic. The battlefield is not in my house, but in your house. Moreover, this can further build the Azores. You must know that you can't just use ships to make oil storage tanks all the time, right?

No matter what, you have to build this archipelago almost the same. Even if you only use it once, right?

So, a large number of soldiers came, and I was not going to hide the matters about this island...

It should be said that the entire plan was implemented very well. The British were not unsuspecting. They also sent people to visit them. They also came to discuss the use of this archipelago with the Portuguese many times. However, they didn't find it... They just felt that there seemed to be more ships in this archipelago, but they were archipelagos and islands. What can you say?

Originally, everything was leaving as planned, but now...

David Betty soon started his journey with his five ships, but this time their goal was the Azores!

I went to this archipelago to check it out and investigate it, so this guy was quite smart. He circled around the north and then came back, but he really didn't encounter any ships from the Pacific Empire... After all, no one would sail like this.

Then this result...

"My God!"

When David Betty stood on his Prince and looked at the Azores with a telescope, he was completely frightened!

Because of that archipelago, there are so many warships now, and it is obvious that they are all warships of the Pacific Empire. These guys... look like there are at least hundreds of warships!

What should I do?

"Quick! Return quickly! Let's go back!"

David Betty made the right decision, but his decision was a bit late, because the Pacific Empire warships had discovered him, and about ten warships had already been spoiled!

Retreat, retreat, hurry up!

Betty had only this idea, and now his destination is Greenland, because there are telegram lines on this island that can send newspapers directly to London.

The communication distance of radios is still too short, and there is no problem with warships interoperability, but it is a dream to say that sending a newspaper to London for such a long distance...

But, can this escape to Greenland?

Betty said that it depends on God's favor, and the opponent's ship seemed to be faster, but what he didn't expect was that suddenly...

Boom!

With a loud bang, it seemed that the warships of the Pacific Empire were hit...
