The ship flow in the Strait of Gibraltar is very large, and it is an astonishing number every day. Fortunately, before the Suez Canal was opened, you must pass here if you want to leave the Mediterranean, which also makes ambush possible.

The ambush we reserved is west of the Strait of Gibraltar. With intentional calculations and no intentions, I am very much looking forward to the final result!

But for some reason, the news that kept coming back made me feel a little confused - the Blackbeard's fleet was moving very slowly, as if waiting for something.

And when passing by several North African ports, ships kept coming in and out of his fleet. What was this doing?

Has he noticed our actions? Did he deliberately use this method to test it? How is it possible?

All our instructions are from me, and they are passed on in a single line, so there should not be any possibility of leaks. The current situation can only explain one problem: the black beard has been scattered across the Mediterranean for so many years without falling, so naturally there are his reasons and solutions.

Then the question now becomes - what exactly does Blackbeard want to do?

On the sea view sand table, I used a wooden model to deduce the other party's movement trajectory. Looking at the posture of taking two steps and taking one step back, I couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought.

Is it just a simple test? In fact, he has no intention of going out of the Mediterranean? Or... he is simply planning to fight back on me?

While I had such a thought in my mind, I received another message from Mo to me - the two armed merchant fleets outside the Strait of Gibraltar, which seemed to be in vain with the Blackbeard fleet!

Is that true? I gently tapped the edge of the sand table with my fingers and thought seriously. It seems that things are more complicated than I thought. What should I do?

Gently drawing circles around the Strait of Gibraltar. Judging from the current situation, I alone seem to be unable to achieve effective results!

Suddenly, my fingers stayed at one point in the circle drawn, and the three big words "Spain" were clearly marked!

Looking at these three words, I frowned and thought about it. It seemed that I still had allies not included!

After thinking about this festival, I was in a good mood immediately! I immediately poured a glass of red wine, raised my head and drank it all!

...

The next morning, news came out of Spain's ports such as Seville, Barcelona, ​​and other Spanish ports. The black beard, who had been dormant for a long time, was planning to counterattack. Recently, they have been circling around Gibraltar to investigate and are preparing to be a big vote!

The goal is the Spanish merchant fleet that is still stranded in the Mediterranean after the main force of the Spanish Navy moved to the New World!

This information was so stupid, but after discovering that Blackbeard was indeed wandering a lot at the Mediterranean estuary, most people believed this information!

What is very appropriate is that people began to discuss the brutality before Blackbeard. Although they were silent for two years, people still remember his atrocities back then!

Spanish merchants in ports around the Mediterranean moved one after another, and they complained to the official, demanding a safe maritime business environment. In the end, the application was signed by nearly 100 maritime merchants and directly handed over to the commander-in-chief of the Spanish Navy's Invincible Fleet De Guzman.

"Dong!" De Guzman held a piece of parchment and smashed heavily on the table! He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Why did this damn pirate choose to make trouble at this time? Can anyone tell me why?"

The people around were timid and did not dare to say anything. De Gusman was even more annoyed when he saw this and smashed the table in anger!

A low-ranking officer seemed to have heard of something more or less and wanted to speak, but under the gaze of his boss, he quickly admitted defeat! He stood quietly on the side, allowing De Guzman to angrily scold him.

There are three unwritten rules within the Invincible Fleet that are extremely important - don’t reason with the boss! Don’t reason with the boss! Don’t reason with the boss!

No matter who you are, no matter why, don’t forget this! Someone once didn’t believe in evil, talked and presented facts and reasoned when the boss was angry. Now the grass on that guy’s grave is ten feet tall!

Sure enough, seeing that the team members remained silent as usual, De Guzman fired for five minutes and began to arrange work.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange - completely wipe out the damn pirate! Hang him on the dock pillar in Seville!

If this was also an order, the people below were very careful. The next morning, the two squadrons set out from Seville and headed towards the Mediterranean.

Almost at the same time, a fleet sailed out of Barcelona, ​​advanced eastward and began to move southward, blocking the port of Algiers!

The unknown black beard still wandered near the Mediterranean estuary, because he presumed that the enemy would definitely wait for him nearby.

However, what he had not expected was that the expected enemy did not appear, but many unexpected enemies appeared!

When the Spanish Navy was attacked by the Spanish Navy, the Blackbeard was instantly confused! When did the Spanish Navy, which was better than more, behaved so proactively?

At first, he thought he had recognized the wrong person, so he kept sending signals to the Spanish Navy, hoping that they would return to the wrong way. But after a while, he found that the other party's response was full of shells! The black beard immediately became angry!

I have always been the only one who bullies others. When is it the turn of others to bully me? The enlightened black beard began to fight with all his might, wanting to teach those in front of him a lesson who do not cherish life.

However, he did not fight to the death, but used the roaming tactics to retreat toward Algiers while fighting. His purpose was to use the advantage of speed to teach these wooden Spanish navy a lesson, and then hide in the port of Algiers.

No matter how arrogant the Spanish are, they will not go to war with the entire pirate circle at the same time, right?

However, just as he walked and fought and came to the vicinity of Algiers, a strange fleet came towards him. The fleet did not hang its flag, and its route was erratic.

But Blackbeard is sure that this guy must be coming to him! His 20-year-old pirate career has made his spiritual sense particularly keen!

"Change! Turn around! rush north!" Blackbeard shouted loudly. The pirates under his command were working hard, and they didn't want to escape desperately, but how could the ship pass the artillery quickly?

The mysterious fleet suddenly raised its flag when approaching two nautical miles to the turning Blackbeard Fleet, which was the universal flag of the Spanish Navy!

"Damn it! I just knew it was these yellow-skinned boys!" Blackbeard cursed. Because the Spanish Navy's uniform was yellow, it was nicknamed yellow-skinned boys by the outside world.

But it is meaningless to just show off your verbal advantage. The Spaniards' artillery fire was not merciless. Under the attack, a ship immediately sank into the sea with black smoke!

"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Blackbeard roared almost gritting his teeth, but this did not affect the speed of the ship. The Mediterranean is still calm and the wind is not very powerful to him.

It is impossible to sneak into Algiers, and escaping seems to be the only way! Blackbeard gritted his teeth and thought fiercely.

But after looking at the huge Spanish fleet around, it was obvious that the other party gathered the main force left behind in the Mediterranean, and at least there were two main squadrons to discharge! It would be very difficult to escape by yourself!

Thinking of this, a trace of fierce light appeared in Blackbeard's eyes! He ordered without hesitation: "Be careful of all artillery! Bomb Algiers!"

The pirates under his command were stunned at first, and then their subordinates acted and quickly pointed their guns at the pirate's homeland - Algiers!

The scorching shells fell in the Algiers port city, and a raging fire quickly ignited in many places!

The port was already in chaos. Before, many pirates saw a strange fleet wandering at the estuary. It was probably the bad luck of a certain country's navy looking for which pirate.

Who knew that after their battle began, these Spanish navy actually shelled Algiers! This was the old nest built by the pirates for decades?

No matter how these pirates don’t want to clash with the navy, especially the Spanish navy, they are already unavoidable at this time! You have to put your head on your belt!

Uyang Wuyang's pirate ship left the port from the onset of fire Algiers and rushed towards both sides at sea that were fighting!

The Spanish Navy was not stupid. When he saw the black beard bombarding Algiers, he knew that things were going to be bad, but he didn't expect that it would be so big! They immediately sent a signal to the pirates who were leaving the port that the matter had nothing to do with them.

But how can a simple light signal explain such a complex problem? They looked at the pirate ship without any help and roared at them.

What is quite helpless is that if the pirates retreat because of the charge, what prestige will the Spanish Navy have in the Mediterranean waters in the future?

So, because of Blackbeard's simple action, the problem that was originally between the Spanish Navy and itself turned into a showdown between the Spanish Navy and the pirates!

This is a war where no one can afford to lose!

If you lose, you will lose the survival foundation you have built for decades of hard work!

If you lose on the other side, you will lose the invincible prestige that has been established for decades!

So, a sea battle without a way out began! The war stretched from Algiers to Utah, and the entire western section of the Mediterranean was bathed in the burning flames!

As the initiator, I didn't expect that things would turn out to be what they are today, but once they appear, I'm happy to see it happen!

And what I did was to entrench not far from the Mediterranean estuary, quietly waiting for the Blackbeard to appear.

The war lasted for two days, and the pirates were greatly injured and fled from the war zone and fled out.

But the black beard I was expecting had not appeared for a long time.

It seems that he knew that if he fled abroad, he would definitely fall into my hands, so he decided to do the opposite and retreat to the eastern section of the Mediterranean!

There was the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and the Spanish were beyond the reach of them!

It seems that I need to go deeper into the tiger's den again!

Suddenly, I thanked old Alfred inexplicably, because I was holding the precious Ottoman merchant fleet procedures he had provided to me before...
Chapter completed!
