240. Encroaching on Angela

Located at the northern tip of the island of Madagascar, Angelana is where the first settlements and towns on this barren island sprung up, with the main industries being timber and animal products, and the overall development is quite backward – I mean compared to other port cities in East Africa.

Nuno Santos did not set the retreat here without consideration, but believed that this place was far from the interior and was not taken seriously, and naturally it was not the focus of their "advance business", and the public discontent was relatively light, because the geographical advantage was also conducive to the implementation of their plan to counterattack back.

However, in fact, it is - when this guy Woodin is thinking about dealing with the Santos Chamber of Commerce, he has already taken Angela Nana into the scope of implementation! I have to say that Wooding is still very disciplined and routine in this industry.

When he distributed propaganda materials to the coastal people of East Africa, he also distributed similar things to the residents of the vicinity of Angelanana, but the original personal style of writing was changed to a propaganda and incitement style in order to arouse the panic of the local people to the greatest extent.

Our plan has proven to be working well, and according to feedback from the intelligence organization established by the Mexican and Youyou, the people living in Angela Nana have shown a considerable degree of distrust of the Santos Chamber of Commerce after receiving our propaganda materials. The local governor also interviewed Nuno Santos and told him to be "honest" in Angelana and not to engage in "petty actions"!

We don't know how depressed Nuno Santos is, but our actions are unfolding in an orderly manner! On March 7, ten transport ships of the Woodin Chamber of Commerce landed in the western part of the island of Madagascar, and at the same time eight warships sailed to the northwest of Madagascar, advancing by land and water, and pressing the northern city of Angelana with all their might!

Our fleet of blades made a detour back to the island of Aldabra, two hundred nautical miles north of Angelanana, to ambush and block the retreat of the Santos Chamber of Commerce! To be honest, with the Wooding Chamber of Commerce as a strong backing, we are not afraid that the Santos Chamber of Commerce will jump off the wall and bite back, but that the Spaniards hidden behind it will jump out and intervene regardless of their identity, which will be more troublesome.

Based on the results of my previous discussions with Wooding, the time limit for his gradual advance and attack is about three to four days, during which time I need to hide my fleet behind the reef near Aldabra and be ready to attack.

The fleet arrived at Aldabra on the night after the start of the operation. Since the island was pitch black and there was nothing to see, I did not dare to let the team rush to the island, but chose to anchor at a distance of one nautical mile from the island and reef, and anchored on the spot. The fleet climbed out of the small boats as a warning, and took turns to give early warning and vigilance to the surrounding situation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the next day dawned, we were instantly conquered by the scenery in front of us! Aldabra is the second largest coral atoll in the world and is also known as Turtle Island. It has a total area of more than 150 square kilometers and is made up of four separate islands.

What shocked us the most was the animals on the island – it's a living natural history museum, so to speak! Tens of thousands of large sea turtles live on the island. To say that they are "big sea turtles", in fact, I don't think it is enough to express their actual situation - these huge creatures can reach more than two meters in length, weigh at least more than 200 kilograms, and some even reach four or five hundred kilograms!

If you want me to say, these fat guys are simply elephants among turtles, hence the name "tortoise". I took Kites and Arashi with me, and within a few steps of the island, I could meet one giant turtle after another, which is simply the world of big old turtles! These guys live freely, living in the bushes during the day, coming out to feed in the morning and evening, and when they come out in groups, it is like the posture of the whole armored group going out, the scene is very spectacular!

These big guys, though, are pure vegetarians and live on grass and leaves. Because it was fun, the three of us jumped on the back of a tortoise, and this guy continued to crawl with the three of us on his back, causing the two girls to scream!

The kite also caught a strange-looking green turtle, and later, according to Tucker Sr., the meat of this turtle was a high-grade nourishment, the leather was the best raw material for making utensils, and the exquisite artwork made of turtle shells was a favorite of the upper class.

As I went deeper into the island, I was even more amazed by the wonder of the species on the island. Because it is far away from the hustle and bustle, there are no natural predators, and especially no human hunting, the animals here are extremely "strong and round", and they are the masters who do not do strenuous exercise for many years!

In the clear water, countless schools of fish are swimming, and the turquoise water is sparkling! After eating the wild fruit I had picked, the kite jumped up and took me by the arm and said, "Sir, why don't we go!" It's so beautiful, so laid-back and comfortable, we just stayed here! ”

Lan squinted his eyes and smiled, "Yes! If you don't exercise all day and night here, and then you will be eaten like an old turtle, and you can't walk if you're fat, that's really a good thing! ”

I snapped my fingers and said, "Considerable!" Research and research! ”

The two laughed again.

On the third day, we were almost in the center, and I saw a tall figure in the distance! It looks like an ostrich, but it's significantly fatter than an ostrich! I was shocked, could this be the legendary dodo?

As soon as I wanted to go over to arrest, I heard a sharp whistle from the position of the fleet behind me! It's an alert!

I pulled the surprised Kite and Arashi and ran quickly in the direction of the fleet! After running with all our might, we were back on the flagship in about ten minutes.

Everyone has gathered, and when they see me coming back, the Nine Ghosts Masataka has reported the situation to me - in recent days, the landing personnel of the Wooding Chamber of Commerce have gradually infiltrated the vicinity of Angela Nana, and since the afternoon two days ago, there have been many confrontations with the Santos Chamber of Commerce!

The day before yesterday, Wooding's advance team exchanged fire with a small sentry detachment of the Santos Chamber of Commerce! The Wooding Chamber of Commerce has an absolute numerical advantage, and overnight, it has reduced the territory of the Santos Chamber of Commerce by one-third.

The local people heard about our two families uniting against Santos and expressed their gratitude and welcome for Woodin's arrival.

Yesterday, Wooding engaged the main force of the Santos Chamber of Commerce thirty-five kilometers south of Angela Nana! Due to the numerical superiority of the Wooding Chamber of Commerce, and the fact that it was calculated or unintentional, the battle situation soon tilted towards us!

The sailors of the Santos Chamber of Commerce were not good at land warfare, and under the suppression of the Woods Chamber of Commerce, they gradually shrank towards Angela Nana, relying on the improvised fortifications in the city to resist the attack of Woodin with all their might.

After a night of fierce fighting, with Woodin even using twenty artillery pieces, the main force of the Santos Chamber of Commerce suffered heavy losses and was attacked internally by the local people - the local people did not welcome Santos, who brought the war, so a rebellion broke out that night.

Under the encroachment of a few days, the Santos Chamber of Commerce has suffered a double blow from internal and external, and its power has been lost! The remnants of the Santos Chamber of Commerce had to urgently board the ship and flee north under the fierce pursuit of the Wooding Chamber of Commerce! This is the only way to live!

It's just that because of the hasty walking, the fleet formation of the Santos Chamber of Commerce is very scattered, and the battle line is very long! According to the report of the speedboat, our nearest Santos ship is estimated to be only twenty nautical miles, and the distance is only fifty or sixty nautical miles!

Due to the pursuit of the Wooding Chamber of Commerce from behind, Santos's escape was very hasty, and he basically couldn't reach too strong a counterattack.

It looks like the time has come! I order, the fleet as a whole is ready to go! When the vanguard ships of Santos are about to pass through Aldabra, make a collective assault and crush the enemy army!

Watching the sailors running up and down and preparing, my heart was filled with emotion! Another enemy he has never met, but he has to decide to live and die! If the Santos Chamber of Commerce had chosen to treat me politely when I arrived in Mogadishu, even if it was to turn a blind eye, I would not have chosen such a life-and-death solution!

However, there is no such thing as an option! Santos chose to nip in the bud any possible threat to me when I first arrived!

For someone who wants me dead, I never mind giving him a ride! It was, it is, and it will always be!

Our fleet quietly hid behind the reef and watched silently as the opposing fleet got closer and closer to us!

Finally, the first ship of the Santos Chamber of Commerce approached our defense! I give the order to the whole army to attack, and not a single enemy must be spared!

The oncoming artillery fire made Santos's fleeing team panic instantly! A Spanish light paddle and warship at the forefront sank to the bottom of the sea with bubbles before our salvo was over!

When the ships behind saw this, they were shocked and prepared to turn around, but they were crowded with the ships behind them! Under the collision between the front and back, some small boats immediately flipped over!

The ships of the Santos Chamber of Commerce have gathered in the center of the sea, and it seems that they have the ability to attack our lineup and escape!

But the Wooding Chamber of Commerce behind him surrounded him like a wolf and a tiger! The fleet of the Santos Chamber of Commerce seems to be stuck in some kind of tangle!

Under pressure from both sides, Santos' flagship was ...... The white flag was raised!

Negotiations for surrender took place on the marginal island of Angelana. Here I finally met Nuno Santos himself.

He was a white man in his fifties, and even if he was fleeing, he was wearing a gorgeous suit and a silver wig, and he was full of style.

When he saw me, he let out a long sigh and was speechless for a long time. I don't know if there are also those who knew today, why regret it at the beginning?

The final result of the negotiations was that the Santos Chamber of Commerce offered three-quarters of its own property, including gold, ships, and cargo, in exchange for Nuno Santos and his party being allowed to leave!

Fearing that we would be treacherous and chasing after him, Nuno Santos also offered to exchange a message for his own absolute safety!

He brought this one up to me alone—because he saw that despite Woodin's power, I was the mastermind behind it!

And because he knows that this message is only valid for me - because it is a message about Miss Li and Admiral Li - my fiancée!
