22. The rabble
The sun never sets the empire!
It refers to an empire in which the sun shines on its territory at any time. It is usually used to describe an empire that had prosperity and prosperity, had colonies on all seven continents around the world and had hegemony at that time.
In history, there were two countries called the Sun-Don't Setting Empire, namely the Spanish Empire and the British Empire.
During the Age of Discovery, Spain and Portugal were pioneers of European global exploration and colonial expansion, and developed trade routes in various oceans, making trade prosperous, with routes ranging from Spain across the Atlantic Ocean to America, from Mexico across the Pacific Ocean, and through the Philippines to East Asia.
The Spanish conquerors destroyed the Aztec, Inca Empire and Mayan civilizations and claimed sovereignty over large swaths of American territory. For a moment, with its experienced navy, the Spanish Empire dominated the ocean.
Although in the famous Battle of Britain and the West in 1588, the Spanish "Invincible Fleet" composed of 134 ships was defeated by the British fleet with only 34 warships and 25 pirate ships, and its status as a maritime power will never return.
But it is undeniable that the centipede worm dies without being stiff, and the lean camel is bigger than a horse.
The current Spanish Empire is still very strong at sea.
It's more than enough to deal with pirates or something.
Not to mention the British Empire, after defeating the Spanish Invincible Fleet, the British Empire's maritime strength expanded rapidly, replacing Spain and becoming the second empire of the Sun never set.
This is also the reason why Blackbeard will quickly shock the world after attacking British ports.
After all, Britain is now in its rapid expansion and its peak, and the Blackbeard dares to use a knife on the tiger at this time, which will naturally shock countless people.
In addition to these two companies, the sea navigation teams include the Dutch Navy, the French Navy, etc., but these are not kept in the eyes of Wang Bo and the pirates.
"It was the navy of the British Empire." Simba said.
Wang Bo frowned slightly. This is not good news. In this era, the British Empire was indeed very strong, and the strength of the navy was obvious to all.
Not only are they well-equipped, but they are fierce artillery. The battle between pirates and navy is basically more defeated than defeat.
If they are targeted, the Wizard Pirates may encounter some trouble.
Of course, it's just a little trouble.
After all, no matter how awesome the navy is, it is still a navy. Wang Bo knows magic in martial arts, so he still needs to be afraid of the navy of the British Empire?
"When do you think the Navy will find us?"
"uncertain."
Simba shook his head, looking a little solemn, "We have developed very quickly in the past six months, and there are many ill-hearted guys hiding in our team. I'm not sure if this group of people will secretly want to inform the Navy."
"Then do you think we will have a chance of winning if we fight head-on with the Navy." Wang Bo asked again.
"It depends on the investment of the navy." Simba said, his brows almost tangled. "But I think the navy is rushing in this time, and the military strength will obviously not be less than ours. If this is true, we may encounter huge trouble. Even if it is a victory, it may be a miserable victory."
Wang Bo narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, saying, "Since that's the case, we won't fight with them head-on. Find a place and set up an ambush. After the navy gets in, we will catch them all in one go."
Simba was stunned, "Can this work? Will the navy be fooled?"
Wang Bo said, "As long as you do it more realistically, the Navy's people will of course be fooled."
Simba asked, "What should we do?"
Wang Bo smiled slightly, let Simba hear him, and whispered a few words.
Simba couldn't help but show a sudden enlightenment expression, pondered for a few seconds and said, "You can give it a try!"
The next day, Wang Bo gathered all the leaders together and said, "Everyone, I have already found out about something. We are still targeted by the British navy. They are asking about our whereabouts and want to catch us all in one place."
For a moment, everyone present, except Simba and Wang Bo, was shy of fear.
After all, in this era, the British navy is indeed very powerful.
"Captain, are you sure the news is true?"
"It's true!" Wang Bo said.
"Then what should we do now? Should we hide and avoid the limelight?" someone suggested.
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "No, we can avoid it today, but tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the future, will Chengdu avoid the navy? They chased him and ran around, as embarrassed as a dog?"
"What should we do now?" asked a leader.
Everyone looked at Wang Bo at the same time. Everyone knew that Wang Bo was a wizard and hoped that Wang Bo could come up with a good idea.
Wang Bo didn't keep it a secret and said, "I do have a good idea here."
"What's the solution?"
"Expand the army!" Wang Bo said, "I still have more than a dozen ships on hand. As long as we can recruit enough personnel, we can quickly form a huge team, and then we can defeat the navy head-on."
"Once we can defeat the Navy, the entire Caribbean is our back garden, we can go wherever we want, grab whatever we want, and no one is our opponent."
"And we will become the veritable king of the Caribbean!"
Wang Bo's colleagues who were talking quietly released a deceptive magic, making what he said more convincing.
For a moment, everyone was convinced by Wang Bo, and everyone was excited.
"Yes, I think the captain is saying a good idea."
"We should gather people and form a huge team."
"As long as our ships and manpower double, I believe even the British Navy will not lose."
"There can only be one king in the Caribbean, that is, the captain."
After the meeting, the leaders spread the decisions made at the meeting throughout the pirate group, and countless people were in full bloom for a moment.
Many people were infected and clamored to go to war with the navy.
Wang Bo stood on a high platform and looked at the pirates boiling below, but he curled his lips with disdain in his heart. Although these people were so arrogant, they were far behind the real navy.
The Navy is a well-trained soldier, but what about them?
A group of pirates who have never read books and rely on the courage of ordinary men and do not understand any strategy.
It looks cruel, but at the same time it is greedy for life and fears death. Once it encounters adversity, it is easier to collapse than anyone else. To put it bluntly, this is a group of mobs.
Want to defeat the Navy?
Save it.
If Wang Bo really trusts them, he probably doesn’t know how he died.
