After leaving Hawaii, the fleet continued westward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When passing through Wake Island, Bai Nan also specially sent marines to land in small boats, and then erected a sovereignty monument on it, on which the words "Wake Island, Tang Republic" were marked in Chinese, English, French and Spanish.

This small island, which played an important role in the Pacific War on the other side, is too inconspicuous in the Pacific Ocean, and its small area makes it not as valuable as Hawaii, and it is not even cost-effective to send troops to garrison it. Therefore, in the days of Paiknam, it was mainly used as an emergency landing backup airport for transoceanic aircraft, and a refueling station for ships coming and going. At the same time, the US military has also turned this area into a missile defense weapons testing ground and continues to play a military role.

Bai Nan is one of those who is too lazy to change his name, as long as it doesn't sound so obvious like a foreign translation of his name, he doesn't like to change it. Besides, the Chinese character written on it is Wake Island, and the English translation is also "wei_ke_island", which is already different from the original Wake-Island.

The fleet sailed all the way, without any storms, and it was calm. It wasn't until the fleet sailed to the Bass Strait that it encountered ships from other countries for the first time.

Chang Bin stood on the deck, held a telescope and observed for a while, and said: "That's the flag of Spain, I said that we really have a relationship with the Spaniards, we are Spaniards at home, and we are still Spaniards after sailing tens of thousands of miles." ”

Bai Nan said with a smile: "Further south from here is the Philippine group, which is also a colony operated by the Spaniards for hundreds of years, so it is not surprising that there are Spanish ships." But this small Galen looks to be old. ”

Chang Bin asked, "Do you want to touch it?" ”

"In terms of intelligence gathering, we should get in touch with them. It also gives the Spaniards a sense of our global presence. Bai Nan's words are more of a joke, the speed of information transmission in this era is very slow, the Spaniards have already made a compromise on the issue of California ownership, but the specific situation has to be reported to the Spanish royal family, and the royal family will send the edict to Mexico after the royal family's judgment, the process is quite slow. It had been several months since the Spanish delegation left Los Angeles, but the Spaniards had not yet sent any more personnel to resolve the issue of California's ownership.

This is the eastern hemisphere, across the ocean from Mexico, although there have been Manila galleons sailing over the years, but Mexico's contact with the Tang Dynasty was after the galleons left Alpulco last year, and this year's galleons are estimated to have not reached Alpulco at this time.

After the Tang fleet approached the Spanish galleon, Chang Bin, who had never put down the binoculars, found a problem, he said: "Why does most of this ship look like it has big braids?" Could it be that the Spaniards used all Qing sailors? ”

At this time, on this Galen sailing ship, seeing the huge tonnage of the Datang giant ship, the people on it were already panicking.

"What kind of ships are these! Did Lao Tzu collide with Mazu? A round-faced man looked at the huge Light of the Sea, and his legs were a little weak for a moment.

"Boss, no, look at these boats coming around!"

The round-faced man exclaimed, "Hell, this giant boat doesn't see its sails, and it suddenly emits black smoke outward, and it actually runs so fast." ”

A sailor said fiercely: "Boss, don't care where the top is sacred, as long as you dare to get on our ship, we will cut them!" ”

The round-faced man was so angry that he kicked the sailor down, "Nunon's mother! These ships are so big, I don't know that there are tens of millions of people on them, and maybe they all have guns and artillery, and if you do it with them, a few lives will not be enough to lose. You don't have to drag Lao Tzu to death in such a hurry, Lao Tzu will just throw you into the sea to feed the sharks. ”

The round-faced man's face was gloomy for a while, and he saw several ships getting closer and closer, the tonnage was smaller, and it looked a bit like a galleon of the lucky ship, and he could see the muzzles on it, "Sure enough, I don't know where it is, it looks a little more powerful than the gunboat of Franc's godfather." ”

"Sa Nunei, don't care, pull up the white flag for Lao Tzu, you can't run, you can't beat it, you can't beat it, you honestly lick your eggs and admit it!"

The little Galen lowered its sails, raised its white flag, and stood there shyly and timidly like a big girl stripped naked, admitting whatever the masters who rushed up to it wanted to do.

The two frigates clamped the galleon one to the left and one to the right, and the fierce muzzles of the guns made the sailors on this ship very clear, and now some people were glad that the captain's round-faced man had made a wise decision, although these guns did not look very similar to the guns of the Spaniards, but no matter how you look at them, they think that they should be more powerful. In addition, a group of sailors also held their rifles and pointed them at this side, and at such a close distance, the killing of rifles to living forces is also terrifying.

Chang Bin volunteered to board the galleon again, "It seems that they are all Chinese, and I don't need Lieutenant Colonel Bai and other Spanish-speaking comrades, I'll do it." ”

After Chang Bin got on the boat, he found that the other party's cooperation was beyond his imagination. A group of Chinese and foreign sailors honestly held their heads in their hands and squatted on the ground, just like those prostitutes who were discovered in the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities in later generations. Even, the captain of this ship was even more exaggerated, he didn't know where he got the thorn strip, hung it on his back decently, knelt on one knee, and shouted: "Say hello to the uncle, the little brother Lin Fang has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with the uncle at sea, and he deserves death. ”

Chang Bin, a native of the Northeast, had a very difficult time listening to this Fuzhou accent, but there were Fujianese among the marines beside him, and he explained a few things he didn't understand in a few words.

Chang Bin waved his hand and said: "Just kidding, first of all, we are not your uncle, you are also thirty or forty years old, when you are an uncle, don't you just say that we are old?" Second, we're not pirates either, and we're not interested in your money. On the contrary, you are a native of Fuzhou, with big braids, how can you fly a Galen ship and fly the Spanish flag? ”

The round-faced man Lin Fang was already very strange, this group of people dressed more like Western Europeans, and the giant boat they drove was unheard of and unseen, but as soon as they spoke Chinese, it sounded like a northerner, which made Lin Fang confused. Looking at their dress, it was clear that they were Western-style troops, and Lin Fang couldn't help but guess which country invited the Chinese mercenaries, and even cut their braids.

"Back to this military master, the little one is originally from Fuzhou, but he was born in Luzon, this Galen ship is not a villain's thing, but the Spanish government of Manila, and the little one is doing their errand, so it is under the Spanish flag." Lin Fang replied.

Chang Bin has nothing to say about the Chinese playing for the Spaniards, the Luzon Chinese let the Spanish devils kill wave after wave, and every wave of killing has a new wave growing, the local Chinese are really resilient, and they are a little obedient.

Lin Fang asked cautiously at this time: "Dare to ask this military master, which country are you from?" ”

Chang Bin said with a smile: "The Tang Republic is tens of thousands of miles according to this, but it is also a neighbor of Spain's Mexican colony. ”

After all, Lin Fang did things for the Spaniards, and he had seen a lot of things, and he had seen the Manila galleon routes every year, and he knew where Mexico was.

"The military master is from the Americas? Forgive Xiao's shallow knowledge, and I haven't heard of the Tang Republic......"

Chang Bin had already wanted to come up with the rhetoric that Bai Nan thought, and he laughed and said: "Our Datang Republic is a country established in a foreign land after the descendants of the Tang Dynasty crossed the ocean and wandered for centuries, and it is normal for you not to know. Rather, you said that you were on an errand for the Spaniards, but what kind of errand did you do? ”

Lin Fang still felt that he couldn't understand it, the Tang Dynasty had been annihilated for a thousand years, how could the descendants of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago suddenly appear at this time and establish a country in North America. But he had doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask indiscriminately, so he only picked the answer that others asked: "The small one is an errand for transporting the population, and this Luzon is a mixture of Spaniards, Chinese, and ghosts, but the Spaniards are busy preaching, managing this and that, and the ghosts and natives are too lazy and stupid, so the Chinese are better at farming, doing business, and working, so the governor gave an order to let us send immigrants from the Qing Dynasty to Luzon in a planned way." ”

Chang Bin suddenly realized a problem and said, "Your ship is going from north to south, which means that you are going back to Manila?" ”

"Yes, Master Jun." Lin Fang didn't know what was wrong, but when he saw Chang Bin's face flushed, he had a premonition that things were not good.

Chang Bin said again: "So, the current cargo on your ship is Qing immigrants?" ”

Lin Fang replied stubbornly: "Yes, Master Jun, there are four hundred and fifteen Chinese brought from Fuzhou and Zhangzhou. ”

Chang Bin was satisfied, he nodded, turned back to one of his marines and said, "You report this situation to Lieutenant Colonel Bai." ”

"Yes, company commander."

Lin Fang was even more worried, and said: "Master Jun, look, you stopped the small boat on the sea, and the little one will honor the military master and the brothers, and you will treat the little one as a fart and let it go." ”

Chang Bin laughed and said, "I don't count if I say it, we have to say it above." ”

Lin Fang had no choice but to use a little threat, and said: "Master Jun, after all, this is the sphere of influence of the Spaniards, if you offend the Spaniards, you won't be able to get any benefit on this sea." ”

Chang Bin slapped Lin Fang on the shoulder, and when he tried hard, Lin Fang grinned in pain, Chang Bin said, "Spaniards? We've beaten them to the ground in North America, and I don't mind beating them up all over the ground if they dare to get in trouble here. To tell you a fact, Datang and Spain are now in a state of actual war, and you have no place to reason if you are not pleasing to the eye and sink you. ”

At this moment, the marines ran back again, and he said loudly: "Lieutenant Colonel Bai ordered that the ship is involved in illegal human smuggling, and our army must seize it according to law!" ”

Chang Bin smiled even more happily and said, "Did you hear it, your ship now belongs to our Datang!" ”
