0226 The Path of Loyalty

Time is the most diligent and fair god in the world. No matter where the person he favors is, he will not stop the pendulum and let everything stop.

On June 6, Halloween, dragging the wounded ship, was still slowly circling along the coast of Barbados. Fort France received a reliable message that a mixed fleet of seven ships rested in Port Saint George on the island of Grenada.

Judging from the bow mark, it is basically the Halloween fleet that dominated the Le François tragedy.

This piece of intelligence completely detonated the anger and panic of the French-Dutch joint fleet.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the conflicts on the edge of the two major fleets are becoming increasingly intensified. Recently, there have been a series of small-scale naval battles. On the day when the battle is most intense, there were three related battle reports.

This means that the distance between the main fleets of both sides is already close.

Just like two hurricanes heading towards each other, the closer the center of the air mass, the stronger the spoiler of the cyclone will be.

The final decisive battle has reached the stage of ready-to-go. According to the map of the French and Dutch advisers, the main British force is very likely to wander within a 100-kilometer radius west of Grenada.

At this time, the evil and unquestionable force of the Halloween Fleet suddenly entered Port St. George, like a jackal serving to the battlefield where two lions compete for power.

What does it want to do?

Or think more deeply, Peter Parker, what exactly does this cunning British guy want to do?

Fort France urgently began the second round of deductions, and it was soon concluded that the Halloween fleet would break through the periphery defense line with losses of two to three ships and join the battlefield when the battle lines on both sides collapsed.

The Andes' twenty-four-pound gun will become a terrible battle killer. Under the escort of Jupiter and the Golden Deer, the stalemate of the joint fleet will be difficult to effectively restrain it.

This is an ambush that is enough to change the victory of the battlefield!

The result of this deduction was soon passed on to the General Flagship of the United Fleet, Glory. Lieutenant General Ramon, the Admiral of the French New Continental Fleet and the Admiral of the French-Dutch Joint Fleet, immediately convened a top-level deduction meeting to fully verify the reliability of the Fort France case with the fleet staff as the team.

As a result, no two came out.

The fleet's staff and senior officers generally believe that in the reality that the battle lines of both sides are relatively strong and do not have absolute intelligence advantages, the possibility of winning or losing through fixed-point artillery battles in a stable battleship is almost zero.

This [stable battleship time] is six hours for top maritime powers like Britain and France.

The manpower is exhausted, and the long-term tense and meticulous micro-working is a serious destruction of sailors' energy. Although their endurance and concentration can be improved through training, they always have their limits.

Once more than six hours, the impact of objective factors such as wind direction, sail surface, center of gravity, and ocean currents on the hull posture will become increasingly prominent.

The deformation of the ship's posture will cause the battleship to collapse, and the large spokes affects the accuracy and power of the artillery. In order to maintain the offensive situation, the commander had to split the battleships and seek short-term mobile warfare and counterattack battles.

This is the moment when a single ship has the weakest combat power against a formation. The suppression is enough to make the third-level ship capsize in the battle with the plural five-level battle.

Not to mention, there is also the Andes equipped with twenty-four-pound cannons in the Halloween fleet!

The commanders of the Joint Fleet suddenly discovered that Halloween, which annexed the Guard Fleet, was no longer just a sustenance of French hatred. It was upgraded to a real threat and eradicating it had become an imminent problem for the Joint Fleet and could not be delayed for a moment.

"Revenge must be avenged for the victims of Le François before the final battle!" Someone raised a new issue at the deduction table.

His reason was very good. The joint fleet was far above Parker's fleet, from morale to combat power. Once Peter Parker was defeated and the Halloween fleet, which had lost the admiral, would inevitably flee far away and might flee back to England.

At that time, it would be too late to avenge Le François's souls. Once the British reorganized the fleet, Le François' tragedy became a headless case, and there was no possibility of falling into trouble again!

A strong sense of mission instantly filled the hearts of the gentlemen attending the meeting. They represent justice and will surely be blessed by God.

A conspiracy against Grenada began.

On June 8, Fort-France announced that the French-Dutch joint fleet would go to Le Francois armed forces to mourn the dead as a representative of the French New World Colonial Government, with the code name [France's noble blood cannot flow in vain].

On June 9, in response to the colonial government's declaration, the Army took action before the Navy.

Two regiments of Martinique garrison and newly formed civilian army opened the heavily guarded Fort France defense line and sang a war song of revenge to advance towards the Pere Volcano area in the north of the island.

Before that, the big black Sander, who was on the dock at the tragedy night, evaporated without warning. Charamon himself searched through all the fragmented corpses, and he could not see anyone in his life or die.

The slave army suddenly changed from dual-core to single-core.

Rachamont has a weak personality, far from the decision of his companions, and cannot bear the burden of the entire slave army.

He became retreating, and before he left Le François, he quietly gave up his dream of founding a country, leading his low-spirited followers to flee north, and his goal was to the Pele Mountains, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the evening, the joint fleet officially set off, and took the initiative to give up the decisive battle between Britain and France, crossed the St. Lucia Strait, headed north along the intersection between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and headed north to Martinique by sea toward the mountains where the rebels gathered.

No one noticed that in the quiet sea, the revenge fleet, which had been formed to respond to the tragedy, quietly left the home team under the leadership of the flagship Fury.

They headed south at the exit of the St. Lucia Strait, deeply penetrated into the Atlantic Ocean, avoiding merchant ships that were appearing along the way, and sailed for four days without knowing their lives in the Grenadines Islands. The legendary Halloween fleet's resident was only one day away.

On June 11, the land troops started war with the slave army. In the outskirts of Saint-Pierre, slaves who were not well equipped, training and morale were defeated step by step.

The defeated man, whether dead or alive, will soon become an ornament on the cross as soon as he falls into the hands of the French.

Thousands of shoddy crosses paved from Saint-Pierre to the hinterland of the mountains, and from the beach, they directly connect to the volcanoes surrounded by smoke, forming a brand new path, which the French call the [Road of Loyalty].

On June 12, the Revenge Fleet raided Port St. George in Grenada in the morning light.

There are only two or three small fishing boats ready to go to sea to operate in the remote merchant port that should have been filled with sinful ships of the Halloween fleet...

The pioneers on the island looked at the new third-level battleship Fury, which was pressing down like a mountain, and ringed the bell before the French fired, and simply chose to surrender.

In the Battle of the Windward Islands, after the British army ravaged the Atlantic coast of Martinique, France occupied Grenada in a high-profile manner.

This is the opening of the French death knell.

On June 13, the United Fleet, which was sailing comfortably along the Martinique coast, crashed into the battlefield created by Sir Parker without any preparation.

From Baspante to Granlivier, this calm near-shore route belongs to France, and belongs to Martinique, the overseas province of the Kingdom of France.

The United Fleet enjoys days without worry, enjoying fine wine and unpopular ship meals while enjoying the damn slaves and the doomsday of the Halloween fleet that is more damn than slaves.

They thought they had done a beautiful lure from the mountain, showing the world the muscles of France, and postponing the decisive battle with the British, using a classic strategy to defraud the Halloween fleet that was enough to become a decisive battle variable.
