The war between the Kingdom of West Africa and Spain and the Holy Roman Empire was finally over.

This battle of the Black God Army can be said to be shocking. The Spanish and Holy Roman Empire Army, which are now the strongest army in Europe, were almost wiped out by them, leaving only 20,000 troops in a hurry.

Moreover, the equipment of these 600,000 troops was almost captured by the Black God Army, and the strength of the West African Kingdom increased dramatically.

However, neither Zhang Mingshi, the commander of the battle, nor Zuma, the king of the West African Kingdom, was ecstatic. On the contrary, they were all in a state of grief.

Because Liu Shuochuan, the deputy chief in charge of the Black God Army, was killed in this battle, and half of the mentor of King Zuma.

Zhang Mingshi was old and could not lead troops to fight. He could only teach Zuma and Atlanti's military tactics and help them practice the Black God Army. The actual combat was taught by Liu Shuochuan to Zuma and Atlanti.

The mentor was killed, Zuma and Atlanti were both crying and heartbroken.

Although Zhang Mingshi was also heartbroken, he did not shed tears.

He just wiped the blood scabs in Liu Shuochuan's eyes and nose over and over again, muttering there: "Shuochuan, Shuochuan, the loyal soul is back, I'll order someone to send your soul back to your hometown."

The beloved general was killed, and Zhang Mingshi became more than ten years older in an instant, and his beard seemed to turn white overnight.

He wiped it carefully for a while, then looked at it reluctantly, then turned around and said, "Don't cry, the horse-dressing body is the glory of soldiers. Shuochuan is loyal to the country, and he can be regarded as a place of death.

The general is bound to die in front of the battlefield. There is no one who will never die in war. If you go to the battlefield, don’t be afraid of death.

The soldiers of the Black God Army will die, and the generals and envoys of the Ming Army will die, and no one can avoid this.

You must cheer up, defend your country, and completely expel the European colonial robbers, so that your descendants can live a peaceful life."

Of course, Zuma and Atlanti are not people who are afraid of death. They just can't accept that their mentor died just like that.

Zuma wiped his tears and nodded solemnly: "We know that we will completely expel the colonial robbers."

Zhang Mingshi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you put on horseback for Shuochuan, let's send him a ride together."

Zuma and Atlanti quickly picked up the horse leather that had been prepared, carefully wrapped Liu Shuochuan's body, and then carried it onto the firewood that had been set up.

This horse romance was originally prepared by Zhang Mingshi for himself, but who knew it was used by his favorite general Liu Shuochuan.

The white-haired man gave the black-haired man, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears in his eyes.

Seeing Zuma and Atlanti put all the bodies in place, he immediately took the torch from his guard's hand, walked slowly to the firewood, and lit it around carefully.

Then he knelt down with a solemn face with Zuma and Atlanti.

With a "wow", hundreds of thousands of black god soldiers around him knelt down one after another like the water blowing by the breeze.

The raging fire ignited. Zhang Mingshi lit three incense sticks with his own hands, kowtowed three times with everyone, then slowly got up and said to the back: "Okay, get up. Although this battle is over, you still have to continue to march into North Africa and fight back all the land seized by the colonial robbers."

Their casualties were really a bit serious this time. In addition to the more than 10,000 cavalry, more than 10,000 chariots and infantry were killed in total, and hundreds of thousands of injured were even more injured.

Fortunately, the casualties of the chariot soldiers led by Zuma were not very large, and the chariot soldiers were the main force in the raids and combat now.

At this moment, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire did not have many troops. To recover North Africa, the biggest resistance was the temporary supply points along the coast and the important town of Ceuta, south of the Strait of Gibraltar.

If they want the colonial robbers to gain a foothold in North Africa, they must seize all the coastal ports and docks under the fire of enemy warships.

This seems a bit difficult.

After all, ten iron-armored warships brought tens of thousands of casualties to the cavalry, and tens of thousands of them were directly killed.

If someone gathers 100 or even 200 armored warships and bombards, then going to seize the port and docks of others will be seeking death.

After much thought, Zhang Mingshi decided to report to the governor of Dongdaying Sun Chuanting and asked the strategist to arrange the next strategy.

At the Governor's Office of the Xiyin Capital, Sun Chuanting looked at the urgent reports and the urns sent back by Zhang Mingshi, and couldn't help but look solemn.

In order to prevent the enemy from escaping on a warship, Liu Shuochuan, the deputy instructor of the Black God Army, led his army to attack the dock under the artillery fire of the armored warship, but unfortunately got shot and died!

This is his mistake!

The enemy is not as simple as he imagined. The plan to lure the enemy into depth seems to have a big problem. The enemy's armored warship is even more of a killer weapon for the Black God Army.

This time, they were only ten armored warships left there. If they gathered hundreds of armored warships to guard the port and dock, the Black God Army would not be able to conquer them at all.

What to do?

To be honest, he can't handle this matter.

If you want to solve the problem of other people's armored warships, you must attack the Ming Dynasty's Aegis ships, and at least hundreds of them must be sent at a time, otherwise there will be a risk of being beaten up by others.

The emperor did not authorize him to turn against the European Union, and he could not send the ASCH ship to help.

If the ASUS can't go over to help, it must strengthen the navy power of the West African Kingdom.

In other words, they must help the West African Kingdom build enough ASIS ships, and he can't make the decision.

He could only send a message to Taichang.

Taichang was about to set off to visit the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, he was summoning the gathering of the Dragon Warship, but a head of the Ministry of Works hurriedly walked onto the flagship with a telegram, bowed and said, "Emperor, Lord Sun Chuanting, the governor of Dongdaying, was urgently reported."

Sun Chuanting reported urgently?

Could it be that something happened to the African battlefield?

When he took the telegram, his face changed drastically.

The Black God Army has almost wiped out the coalition forces of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, which was a good thing.

However, during the war, in order to prevent the enemy from escaping on a warship, Liu Shuochuan, the deputy instructor of the Black God Army, led his army to attack the dock under the artillery fire of the armored warship, and unfortunately got shot and died!

Next, Sun Chuanting carefully reviewed his strategic mistakes and suggested changing the strategy, strengthening the power of the Navy in the Kingdom of West Africa, so that the fleet of the Kingdom of West Africa and the fleet of the Continental Union could compete with each other, so that their strategic goals could be achieved smoothly.

This really surprised Taichang. The deputy head of the Black God Army, this is already the highest-level general who died in the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Shuochuan was equivalent to the commander of Sun Chuanting and Zhang Mingshi to fight two million Black God Army, and his actual power was vaguely comparable to that of the governor of the four major camps.

Such a senior general was killed in such a battle?

Sun Chuanting should review strategic issues, but he should review more!

Because he decided on the basis of the strategy formulated by others, the weapons equipment of the Black God Army, including the military production scale of the West African Kingdom, and even the strategy of luring the enemy into the shortlist and annihilation were all decided on him.

It was him who misjudged the enemy's strength, and it was him who killed Liu Shuochuan!

He did not equip the Kingdom of West Africa with enough ships, forcing Liu Shuochuan to attack the dock with the artillery fire of the armored warships, which was a huge mistake in itself.

Liu Shuochuan and tens of thousands of Black God Army soldiers sacrificed their lives to achieve the strategic goals set by him!

If he hadn't asked the Black God Army to encircle and annihilate the European Union's army invading Africa as much as possible under such a large equipment disadvantage, would they have been killed?

It seems that he can't go to the Western Regions anymore, so he has to go to America and even Africa to take charge, otherwise the war in Africa would not be able to continue.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then said loudly: "Transfer Zhisheng, Liqing, Yan Ru, Wenzhao, and Yuanfang came to see him."

After saying that, he ordered someone to call the crown prince Zhu Cilang to sit next to him.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Peng Bin, Cao Wenzhao and Zhang Yuanfang came to the flagship one after another.

Taichang directly circulated the telegram sent by Sun Chuanting to them.

Liu Shuochuan, the deputy head coach of the Black God Army, was killed!

Everyone looked at the telegram and looked solemn.

This battle in Africa seems not so easy to fight, and the European Union is not a vegetarian.

If Zhang Mingshi had not made a quick decision to launch a siege in advance, and Liu Shuochuan led his army to risk his life to destroy other people's wharf, it would have been very likely that most of the people would have escaped this time.

How to say this?

When Sun Chengzong saw the message at the end, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, I'm daring, should we consider the issue of pension for the fallen soldiers?"

This should indeed be considered carefully.

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then said decisively: "I sent an order to order Sun Chuanting, the governor of Dongdaying, to distribute 1,000 taels of silver as a pension to each Black God Army soldier who died.

In addition, ships were sent to take the families of these Black God Army soldiers to Xinma City for training. After the training, they directly joined the Daming Money House, Daming Medicine and Daming Atlantic Merchant on the African continent.

This is what Zhang Mingshi promised to the soldiers of the Black God Army. The soldiers of the Black God Army are defending their country and consuming the strength of the European Union for the Ming Dynasty. He cannot make people feel disappointed.

Immediately afterwards, he solemnly said: "I sent an order to be promoted to the first-class Duke of Zhongguo, the deputy chief in charge of the Black God Army, and his fiefdom was the Duwei State of Cheshi in the Western Regions. His title and fief were heredited by his descendants."

Originally, Liu Shuochuan could at least be awarded a first-class count after the battle in Africa. He was loyal to the country before the battle was over, and he should have made an exception and be granted a title.

After he arranged these, he solemnly said: "Liqing, how do you think we should improve the strength of the West African Navy so that they can compete with the European Union Joint Fleet?"

Uh, is this possible?

Yuan Keli frowned and pondered for a while, then said carefully: "Master, unless we build a factory for the Kingdom of West Africa and allow them to have the ability to build at least fifty Aegis ships a year, they will not be able to compete with the European Union Combined Fleet.

Because the European Union Combined Fleet already has thousands of warships, and the armored warships have reached 200.

Moreover, they can build hundreds of iron-armored warships a year.

If the navy of the Kingdom of West Africa does not have the ASCHE or the more advanced Dragon Battleship, it will not be able to fight naval battles with others."

Build a factory for the Kingdom of West Africa?

This seems a bit difficult.

Because the foundation of the West African Kingdom is too poor, unless he moves the shipbuilding equipment, smelting and processing equipment from the Dongfan Shipyard, including a number of craftsmen, all of them will be impossible for them to build the ASUS.

What is the difference between this and building the ASCH ship in Dongfan?

The key is that he cannot let the ASCH ship directly participate in the war.

If the ASCHS directly participates in the war, it will be a breakup with the European Union, their strategic intentions will be exposed, and Africa's strategy will not be implemented.

Taichang frowned and pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. The current level of the West African Kingdom cannot create the ASCH. I cannot tear the face and let the ASCH to participate in the war. Li Qing, do you have any other ways?"

this.
