Prince Kong Dai originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire would throw him into the Canary Islands after he arranged a task.

After all, he is the prince of France, a hostile force from the Ming Empire, and he doesn't try hard to achieve some results. Why did he help him ascend to the throne of kings?

Unexpectedly, after Taichang and Zhang Mingshi learned about the general situation, they actually attracted a dreadnought ship and personally sent him back to Dakar.

This gift really surprised him.

However, Taichang was not for Guang to send Prince Kong Dai back to Dakar, he wanted to come here to see Prince Kong Dai's strength in person.

He is not the kind of person who ignores nothing after placing a task and just lets the people below work hard.

Prince Kong Dai's mission is not easy either, he must ensure that he has the ability to complete the task.

Otherwise, if someone fails to complete the task of cutting off the waterway, it will be a scam, and it will be a scam that is not someone else, but himself.

As a result, when he saw Prince Kong Dai's hundreds of so-called warships, he was a little speechless.

This is not a warship, this is a counterfeit armed merchant ship!

Can a hundred counterfeit armed merchant ships complete the mission of cutting off the waterway between continental Europe and Africa?

This is obviously impossible.

He turned his telescope and glanced carefully, then sighed slightly, "Prince Kong Dai, you are too behind, and it may be difficult to block the fleet of the Continental Union."

Who said no?

I told you everything, but you don't believe it.

Of course, Prince Kong Dai did not dare to speak like this, he could only say embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I will do my best, I will do my best."

I am not asking you to do your best, this channel must be cut off!

Taichang thought for a while, then said decisively: "Mingshi, you can transfer 200 armed merchant ships to come, and send a clutch to Xinma City to pass on my order, asking them to send 200 steel bars, cement and wood, and a thousand wolf-toothed warships to come over, all of them must be equipped with city defense cannons.

In addition, let Bogong send a head of the Ministry of Works who can build ships here."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingshi hurriedly bowed and left.

Taichang thought for a while and asked again: "How many people do you have?"

Prince Kong Dai hurriedly said honestly: "I have less than 70,000 people under my command, including about 18,000 navy and about 50,000 army."

This man is almost enough, but his firepower is a bit insufficient.

Taichang thought about it again, then asked, "Look at some of the machines on your ship are used for shipbuilding?"

You can see this!

Prince Kong Dai was stunned for a moment, and then explained in detail: "Yes, Your Majesty, the machines I brought were all made by guns and ships.

And I still have nearly 30,000 craftsmen under my command. They have been doing these things for several years and are more skilled."

Well, that's about the same.

At this time, Zhang Mingshi had already transferred 200 armed merchant ships and ordered people to go to Xinma City to pass the imperial edict.

Seeing this, Taichang said without hesitation: "Go and let all your army and craftsmen board the merchant ships. We will set out later and go to the Canary Islands to take a look.

By the way, your warships have all put the French flag on it, and it will be more convenient to take the Canary Islands at that time."

When Prince Kong Dai heard this, he bowed and bowed quickly, and then walked down quickly.

Zhang Mingshi looked at Prince Kong Dai's back and couldn't help asking: "Master, are you going to the Canary Islands too?"

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is too important for us to cut off the waterway from Africa to the continent. We cannot do it ourselves, so we must ensure that Prince Kong Dai can complete this task successfully.

With his strength, it is very difficult to complete this task. Even if we support him some armed merchant ships and wolf-tooth warships, he may not be able to withstand the counterattack of the Continental Alliance.

So, we must help him build an iron barrel-like fortress in the Canary Islands to keep them safe.

I'm really worried if I don't go and see it."

Well, since the emperor must go, then wait to ensure the emperor's safety.

Zhang Mingshi immediately suggested: "Master, why don't we bring all the fifty ASCH ships here? If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something."

Taichang thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, the transfer personnel will also use the ASCH. You can order them to drive forty ASCH ships to follow. This is so important here, at least ten ASCH ships must be left to guard it.

In addition, you send the clutch to inform Zuma and ask him to gather 200,000 troops at the port and dock closest to the Canary Islands."

The Canary Islands are actually only about three thousand miles away from Dakar, and the fleet arrived after sailing along the West African coastline for three days.

At this time, the Canary Islands had not been developed. Except for the largest main island, which has a port and marina, the other islands were still rarely visited and showed no signs of development.

Taichang turned his telescope, glanced at the port and pier built by the Spanish, roughly estimated the defenders above, and then ordered: "Tell me the order to order Prince Kong Dai to take his men up."

They are a dreadnought and forty Aegis ships. These two warships are unique to the Ming Empire, and they can definitely see it at a glance.

The ships led by Prince Conde were different. Although there were two hundred armed merchant ships behind, the hundreds of ships in front were all standard ships of the Continental Union. In addition, they were also wearing French flags, so people should not be suspicious.

At this moment, there are only a few hundred defenders on the island, and there are not many shore defense artillery. If they want to rush up, they will naturally be able to easily seize it.

The problem is that this place will be Prince Kong Dai's residence in the future. He doesn't want to ruin the buildings near the port and dock, so that Prince Kong Dai's subordinates have no place to live.

Therefore, he just led forty ASCH ships to follow far behind and did not approach the port terminal.

Of course, Prince Kong Dai understood what Taichang meant. He was asking him to go up and launch a sneak attack. This was simply too simple.

He thought for a moment and said to Minuionte, who was beside him: "You pretend to be a Spanish liaison officer and go up to talk to people, and then the Continental Union sent French troops to strengthen their defenses in order to prevent the West African Kingdom from occupying the Canary Islands.

By the way, don't reveal my identity, just say I'm a French Army general."

Well, his Spanish is indeed the best among the three.

Miuyinte could only act like a contact official, strode off the boat, and whispered proudly to others.

He was originally a businessman and could get into the position of governor of Shanghai, so his eloquence was of course very good.

The defenders here did not expect that the French were here to seize the island.

After all, this is a transit station from continental Europe to Africa, and fleets from various countries often come here to replenish water and food.

Especially after the Cape Verde Islands were occupied by the Ming Empire, the fleets of ships coming here have more than doubled, and basically several fleets come every month.

They have also seen French fleets, and there is no problem with the flags and standards, so they naturally will not doubt it.

They were just a little curious about why these French people brought so many strange things over.

After Miuyinte made a fuss, they seemed to understand that they were here to help them guard this important supply point.

Not long after, the Spanish captain who was stationed here followed Minuyonte to the side of the ladder.

Prince Kong Dai has now changed into the French military uniforms.

He took a bunch of personal guards out of the boat expressionlessly, and said perfunctory to others for a few words. Then he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to get off the boat quickly.

To be honest, the Spanish captain stationed here has long been frightened.

Because he had already received the news that the 600,000 troops of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were almost wiped out by the Kingdom of West Africa, and the Kingdom of West Africa even captured the Fortress of Ceuta.

The few people in his hands are nothing in front of the West African Kingdom.

Someone can just send tens of thousands of people to crush them to death.

How can he not be afraid in this situation?

He even felt a little secretly grateful when he saw the dense French troops rushing down from the ship.

Now that France has sent so many troops to support him, he finally doesn't have to worry.

Prince Kong Dai stood there proudly, looking like he could not stand up, and the captain did not dare to come forward to talk to him.

After all, he is an admiral and has tens of thousands of troops under his command. In the eyes of others, his little captain is nothing.

He could only stand aside honestly, just like standing guard.

Prince Kong Dai saw that his subordinates had almost disembarked, and they were almost all of them secretly controlled by the port dock, so he asked expressionlessly: "How many people do you have?"

It turns out that the Admiral can also speak Spanish.

The captain quickly replied: "I have a total of five hundred people under my command."

Prince Kong Dai shook his head slightly and said, "You are useless, so you don't have to worry about the guards of the port and docks. From now on, you will be responsible for the supply of the fleet.

By the way, you can ask your people to hand over the defense and gather next to the dock.

I still have a lot of supplies to move down here. You can ask them to help you take the road and see where to store it."

Oh, this is so good.

Their supplies are not free, even Danshui will have to charge money, and the profits are quite large.

He really didn't expect that the general would look down on the money at all.

The captain saluted without hesitation and went there happily.

Minuyinte looked at his back and couldn't help but smile: "This guy doesn't seem to be very smart, and he's too easy to cheat."

Prince Kong Dai said Dandan: "It's just a captain, how smart do you think he can be?"

Well, I don’t know if it was because of Miuyinte’s eloquence or the captains here were too stupid. They didn’t even have time to forge official documents, but the captains here had no doubt at all.
