After the tragedy of Le François, Nelson, who felt that the stakes were very important, immediately requisitioned the fishing boat and reported all the details of the Halloween operation to Sir Parker's desk.

The old spicy jazz saw an opportunity to take advantage of it.

With the survivors of Le François in hand, especially the mayor of the town, who had a lot to offer, Great Britain had no need to worry about being the party responsible for the tragedy.

On the contrary, it is up to him to take the initiative when to refute the rumors, which means that he has enough capital to let Fort-de-France dance with his baton.

He immediately adjusted the war plan for the Battle of the Windward Islands, based on Operation Halloween, and a new Operation Christmas came into being.

Christmas, the Lord's birthday, rises from the dead and illuminates the ages......

In the first step, Sir Parker connived at the rumors about the British, fanned the flames, and constantly aggravated the details of the night of the Le François tragedy, and completely directed the whole wind towards the argument that Britain presided over everything.

In the second step, after learning that the Halloween fleet had left Grenada, he concocted a false message about Nelson's entry into Port St. George's and sent it to Fort-de-France through a Spanish merchant.

In the third step, the main British fleet was secretly split.

Four frigates, led by a destroyer, formed a formation to confuse the enemy and remained off the coast of Grenada. The battle formation, which was reduced in number to 17 ships but was largely undamaged, was freed.

Led by Jazz, they sneaked out of the windward island chain at night and roamed the waters between Grenada and Barbados to wait for the incident to unfold.

On June 8, after the proclamation that the noble blood of France cannot be shed in vain, the plans of the French were finally completely lost in the eyes of the Jazz.

Mount Peret, Port St. George, Sir drew two red circles on his chart, thought about it, and drew a blue circle in the sea west of Grenada, where he had left the French for correspondence.

The Halloween fleet is the target of the French, the slave army that escapes into the mountains is the mist, and the combined fleet will split in two, one north and one south.

The Jazz had no way of guessing how they would break up.

But the Halloween fleet was notorious, and with a fourth-class cruiser armed with heavy artillery on hand, the French had to deal with it in battle for safety.

So, the French battle line will go south to Grenada. As for whether the entire battle line went south collectively or split in two, it didn't matter to the Jazz.

The purpose of this scam is simply to split the Combined Fleet, weaken their power, and allow Jazz to spread out the battlefield in the chosen sea area and have absolute superiority on the battlefield.

This battlefield ......

Sir drew a circle off the northern coast of Martinique.

There is an adage in the East about war that says the opposite, and Sir once saw it in a travelogue.

The learned adventurer's translation of this is: "Don't let people guess what you think, and enforce your rule where the other person thinks he has control."

There happens to be a similar saying in the West, which is called hiding a leaf, and the forest is the safest place.

Martinique was an overseas province of the Kingdom of France, and they had absolute dominance over the Caribbean colonies.

However, due to the activity of the Halloween fleet, this dominance has temporarily become a gap.

Northeast of Martinique, the destruction of the Atlantic Defense Fleet has deprived the military of its minions, and the flight of the slave army to the north has affected the fishermen of the northern ports, where the sea is now almost vacuum, but in the eyes of the French, it is still their backyard, and indeed their backyard.

There was no doubt that the First Division of the Combined Fleet going north would choose this route, because in their minds, it was comfortable and comfortable, and they did not even need to wait in peace, and they worked hard to guard the itinerary of the army.

A godsend!

The Parker fleet moved before the French. Number Seven

They headed north from the depths of the Atlantic, then cut out the mid-ridge course, and formed a formation in the middle of the night on June 11 before the Combined Fleet passed, jamming the route by the throat.

Seven hours later, the French Revenge Fleet captured Grenada under the command of the Fury.

Twenty-nine hours later, Sir received his prize, led by the Radiant, a total of 20 ships and the main force of the unsuspecting Combined Fleet.

At noon on June 13, 1779, at 11:38 a.m., off the coast of northern Martinique, the decisive naval battle of the Anglo-French Battle of the Windward Islands officially began.

The British side had the upper hand and dispatched a total of 17 warships, including the second-class ship Duke of Wales, the third-class ship Endeavour, the Poseidon's Son and 4 fourth-class ships, with a total of 470 battleships, and the flagship HMS Duke of Wales, the commander-in-chief was Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, and Admiral Peter of the New World Fleet. Sir Parker.

The combined Franco-Dutch fleet hastily responded to the battle, with a total of 20 warships, including the third-class ship Radiance, St. Fan. The Nitru and 4 fourth-class ships, with a total of 370 battleloads, the flagship of the Brilliant Lights, the commander-in-chief is Vice Admiral, Vice Admiral of the New World Fleet. Viscount Belfort.

The British had an absolute advantage in this decisive battle from the very beginning, outflanking the attack with small ships on the periphery, and the battle column in the center did not move at all.

The French were exhausted, and within two hours of the start of the battle, a fourth-class ship was broken and forced to withdraw from the battle line.

Another hour or so, the Dutch flagship, St. Fan. The stern of the Nitru was shattered, half of the deck was destroyed by the explosion of gunpowder, the backmast toppled, the rudder and sail were all out of control, and the ability to continue the war was completely lost.

Her departure from the war declared the defeat of the Combined Fleet.

At 3:22 p.m., Viscount Belvert ordered the escort formation to storm the retreat, and after two lightly wounded fourth-class ships, the fleet slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Sir Parker soon dispersed and ordered his army to sweep away the remnants of the enemy, and the war came to an end.

By 7:45 p.m., the decisive battle for the Windward Islands ended with the disengagement of two Brig-type ships 82 kilometers east of the main battlefield.

In this battle, the British side used 17 ships against 20 French and Dutch ships, sank 1 ship, seriously damaged 4 ships, sank a total of 5 enemy warships of all levels, and captured 6 ships.

Among the captives was the Dutch Destroyer's third-class ship. Fan. The Niederon and three French fourth-class ships, including the St. Ander. Fan. The Nieder's damage was so severe that it sank in tow back to Kingston.

Great Britain wins!

The Battle of the Windward Islands ended with the only British victory, with Nelson's Halloween fleet annihilating the French Atlantic Defense Fleet and Sir Parker's main fleet crushing the Combined Fleet.

This meant that the new order of the seas that Sir Parker was pursuing was established.

In the vast Caribbean Sea and the wider Atlantic coast of North America, Great Britain's maritime power is dominant, especially the firepower of battle columns above level 4, accounting for almost half of the total maritime power of all countries.

France continued to occupy second place, but at once lost four fourth-class ships and a large number of small ships, and in absolute strength, the French were no longer stronger than the Spaniards behind them.

No longer great, no longer glorious, no longer aggressive, the Spaniards remained in the midst of the Great Three, their power concentrated in the Caribbean, almost absent from the Atlantic coast of North America.

And then ......

Portugal, Russia, Denmark and, of course, the nascent United States......

They are more or less present in the rich New World, so that they are neither forgotten nor remembered in particular.

The Dutchman, who had tried his best to restore the glory of the New World, suffered a crushing defeat, and his New World flagship was reduced to the bottom of the sea, sinking to the bottom of the sea with all his unrealistic ambitions and dreams.

On 24 June, the Martinique garrison confirmed that its militia had killed the leader of the mob who had come to rob during a baggage transport, and the Indian slave Lachamont, Fort-de-France declared a great victory in the battle for revenge.

On 25 June, the French colonial authorities sent a note to Kingston, hoping to end the protracted maritime dispute between the two countries, restore peace and tranquility in the Caribbean independent of the situation in North America.

The British colonial authorities strongly agreed with this, and as a result of their sincerity, they offered to release the captured Admiral of the Defence Fleet, Count Gevodan, and offered to send back the refugees of Le François, including the honorable Sir Allrond, the mayor of Le François.

The world was in an uproar.
