Wednesday, May 25th.

The Fairy sailed Galen slowly into the new port of Twin Bay, unloading dozens more workers from the Oriental Construction Company and two hundred tons of supplies.

The light cruiser Vostok outside the harbor was on guard, and on the flat ground inside the harbor, nearly 200 construction workers were divided into several groups, busy in the planned area, and there were many English civilians with the status of "temporary prisoners of war" in the middle. The 24 black slaves were assigned to continue the construction of the military fort on the low slope to the east of the port area.

The first simple dwellings in the new port area, built of prefabricated cement panels, standard wood panels and masonry, have gradually taken shape, and more tents have been enclosed on the side of the construction site, which have been used as temporary settlements for the English.

During the occupation of Bermuda, more than 160 English were recruited, of whom the able-bodied men were assigned to participate in the construction, while the old and young women and children, according to the family units, moved into it silently with the belongings they had moved to. They were told that they would soon be all reshipped to the mainland of the "American Republic of China".

No Englishman knows what this country is about, but both men and women have been shocked by the beautiful people in front of them and the lively construction scene of the new port area.

Fortunately, these Americans did not seem to be those murderous pirates, and they did not intend to make it difficult for them, except that they had to obey orders and do physical labor, and the food and fresh water were well supplied, and even the dozens of black slaves who had been sold to the island in the early years could enjoy similar food treatment.

Sergeant Scott and a platoon of soldiers were in charge of guarding the temporary residence in Newport. Now he has a slight bulge in the wound bandaging area of his left arm.

"Mr. ......"

As soon as I passed by a tent, I saw a young woman standing outside the tent, with a Welsh dialect of English and a lovely little girl holding her.

"Call me Scott, is there anything you can do to help?" Scott waved his hand, and several of his men continued to patrol. He took off his helmet and walked over to the young woman.

"Mr. Allen's injuries have worsened a bit, I wonder if Mr. Scott can ......" glanced apprehensively at the soldiers around him. The young woman lowered her head and rubbed the hair of the little girl in her arms with one hand uneasily.

She had discovered that the American soldier who had been wounded that night to protect the villagers was able to patrol as if nothing had happened after being wounded by a musket in this era. The other party must have a miracle drug.

"What kind of injury?" Glancing at his arm, Scott lowered his voice and grinned and touched the face of the little girl in the other's arms.

The little girl, who had already eaten each other's "sweetness" once, actually giggled. The young and old of England who were watching all around looked at each other with a dumb eye.

"Mr. Allen was stabbed in the leg by a pirate, although the wound is not deep, but today he has a little fever, he is older, I am worried about ......" The young woman hugged the child tightly, and her voice became softer and softer.

He sighed slightly and looked back in the direction of the dock. Scott untied his marching backpack and pulled out a small tin box, only to see a few rolls of snow-white gauze and two small glass tubes inside.

One of the thinner glass tubes contained a tender yellow powder, while the other, a coarser glass tube with a wooden stopper contained a few small round pills.

The former is berberine dispensed to every soldier. In addition to treating diarrheal diseases, it can also be used as a wound disinfectant after dilution and water. The latter is one of the artifacts of this era, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug "sulfonamide", which is currently only mass-produced in a local drug research laboratory, and is only distributed to military combat units for clinical trials.

"Boil the water, let it cool, and melt the powder into it. Wash the wound with medicated water, remember to separate the wound and rinse, and then hold it with gauze, take one of these medicines every morning and evening, don't take more. ”

After saying the precautions, Scott stuffed the entire tin box into the young woman's hand, and finally stuffed the small cloth bag with honey rock candy in his pocket into the little girl's hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Scott! My name is Brenda. Stanny, who used to live in Exmouth, has only been here for a year. The young woman hurriedly hugged the child and nodded in thanks.

"Hehe, I used to live in Plymouth, not far away. Now his home is in West Point, Song State, USA. Scott was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Mrs. Stanny, why did your family come so far here?" ”

"Jessica, this is Mr. Allen's granddaughter, her parents have been pirated...... Mr. Scott, can you tell us what we will do in the future? The young woman blushed at once.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Miss Brenda, I thought you ......" Scott knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly grabbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly, "Everyone is safe now, you don't have to worry about your future life, as long as you follow the arrangement, my superiors will settle you according to the instructions of the state!" ”

"What about you, Mr. Scott?" Brenda saw that the old neighbors around him were looking over, and quickly lowered his voice.

"I was ordered to stay here for the time being, and I will return to China in a few months. I'm sorry, I'm leaving, may God bless you and Mr. Allen! ”

It seemed that he heard a military sentry warning in the distance, and after Scott finished speaking, he quickly put on his helmet and walked away.

Brenda returned to the tent and was in a much better mood, especially when a few days later, the injured old man Alan was basically recovered and was able to walk on his own, everyone was stunned.

At night, a big fire was lit in the construction area of the port area, and work was still in progress, while in the temporary barracks on one side, a dozen or so soldiers were huddled together in a tent to rest.

"It's terrible here, there's not even a well, there's no way to take a bath!"

Jonah, who had only showered once in months or years before coming to North America, is now complaining, grabbing a towel and scooping water from an iron bucket and wiping himself naked in his tent.

"That's all you can do until the reservoir is finished and it rains heavily." Scott turned into an oil lamp and slowly wrote the few Chinese characters he had learned on the letterhead with a pencil. While muttering.

"Sergeant, we have a great victory this time! How much bonus can we get? ”

Makarov, who had been praised by the Chinese lieutenant officer, had been told today that he would be promoted to private of the first class when he returned home, and now he was smiling and wiping the two small copper stripes on his collar representing the rank of private.

"According to the combat regulations, we are stationed for a few months, and the combat allowance will not be less than $10 per month. It's enough to go to the New District of Long Island bar and choose a Scandinavian beauty to play with for days. ”

Scott looked up and made a joke. At the end of the letter, I drew a big heart. It was a symbol he had learned from his old boss, Captain Ho Yu, and it was said to signify the love of a person's heart.

"And what will our sergeant do? Unfortunately, there is no such magical broadcast cabinet here. Otherwise, you can hear Jenny's voice again tonight! I hope to hear new songs next time I return home! ”

Jonah groaned comfortably as he poured the last bits of water from the bucket from head to toe.

"Sergeant Scott, there's a civilian out there who wants to see you!" At this time. A soldier standing guard lifted the tent and reached into half of his body.

"Haha! I know, it's that chick! Maybe a widow! Sgt. Scott, you should apply to 'patrol' tonight! Makarov opened his mouth at this time and shouted in the tent.

"Private of the second class, Makarov, today you are in charge of standing guard in the barracks, and you don't need to change the sentry." Sergeant Scott folded the letter into his pocket, and before exiting the tent, turned back and solemnly announced the order.

"Yes...... The sergeant ...... "Makarov's face rotted at once. There was a lot of laughter in the tent.

Outside the door, under the vigilant gaze of the sentry, Brenda was standing cautiously in the clearing, with a nervous smile on her face, and there was no sign of the little girl in her arms.

"There is a curfew at night. How did you get out! Sergeant Scott nodded at the sentry and walked over to Brenda.

"The water is gone, and everyone wants to ......," said Brenda nervously, feeling ashamed that she had bothered the only "fellow" she knew.

"Jonah! Take a few people and lead the civilians of the temporary settlement to fetch water! Without even thinking about it, Scott turned back to the tent and yelled.

Sergeant Scott's friendly attitude paid off. He has dispelled fear among Bermuda's civilian population.

In the days that followed, even without the forced labor of the military, hundreds of English civilians worked harder, and even the women brought a lot of vegetables and fruits from the abandoned farmland orchards in the distance and sent them to the barracks.

Well, a 17th-century version of the occupation army and the local population of the military and civilian fish and water water was opened in this way, but for the American Republic of China, which currently declares the sovereignty of Bermuda, in the early 17th century, when the sense of national consciousness was still extremely weak, in the context of semi-official and even spontaneous colonization of North America, it is clear that Sgt. Scott's actions have gained immeasurable influence.

To this end, Deng Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Bermuda Island, also deliberately asked the mainland for instructions through the Guò radio station, and the feedback was that these English immigrants who had lived on Bermuda Island for more than three years were allowed to continue to live there conditionally.

Compared to the act of war that took place on Bermuda, which was not a war, May 1622 on the European continent was much more lively.

A year and a half after the end of the Battle of Baishan, the breeze fanned by a certain butterfly has not only not subsided in the wonderful scenes of the first phase of the Thirty Years' War, but even showed signs of a great reversal in history on the surface.

In mid-May, Count Tilly, a famous general of the Holy Roman Empire, led six brigades of more than 21,000 Catholic allies to Bad Wimpfen in Germany, preparing to face the coalition of Protestant nobles who had won a "fluke victory" some time ago.

After the Battle of Mingolshem, which had been defeated in March due to the "Dutch troublemakers", Count Tilly was keenly aware of the formidable power of the American Type 21B flintlock rifle supported by the Kingdom of Spain. He quickly obtained a full 1,300 new flintlock rifles from Spain through the channels of the Guò League, and a total of 2,000 men of his army were armed with such weapons.

And his opponent, the coalition of 18,000 Protestant nobles in five brigades, was also in high spirits and prepared to teach the Count of Tilly, who had once made the Elector of the Palatinate Frederick V hate. They also received more American Type 21B flintlock rifles from their Protestant allies, the Dutch, and more than 1,500 musketeers armed with this weapon.

The fierce fighting began early in the morning. The spears, infantry, phalanxes, and cavalry of both sides suffered heavy casualties from the opponent's high-powered, long-range flintlock rifles. When dusk came, Earl Tilly's superior command gradually overwhelmed his opponent.

Unlike the historical battle in which the Protestant coalition retreated with minor losses, both sides fought until the last minute, with more than 6,000 casualties on both sides.

After a crushing defeat and a crushing victory, the Protestant coalition and Earl Tilly chose to temporarily recuperate and lick their wounds, and continued to increase the introduction of new weapons and equipment. The Battle of Hessest, which was supposed to take place in late May, was delayed by a magical invisible force.

May 28th. Azores, Terceira Angra de Marshagra.

Today's American Concession is more lively, with a horse-drawn carriage returning from the Church of San Sebastian in the center of Angra de Marsís-Marcimo. As soon as they entered the neighborhood of the American Concession, groups of men, women, and children from the American Concession threw flowers in their hands into the carriage with laughter.

on the carriage. Dressed in a luxurious and beautiful wedding dress of Yang Wenwen brand, the daughter of the Marquis of Santa Cruz of Spain with an inconspicuous bulge in her lower abdomen, she is snuggling in the arms of her newlywed husband with a sweet smile, tired of telling her about the United States.

Shi Wenbo, who was entangled and smiling, absentmindedly coped with everything he said.

The wedding was full of all kinds of unwillingness for Swambaugh, first the cheap old man Albert, the Marquis of Santa Cruz, who almost unquestionably carried him to the church, and then the local Portuguese bishop muttered all kinds of strange sentences to announce that he had been favored by God and that the wedding with Anna was valid before God.

What's even more serious is that Anna will be staying at the Consulate General of the American Concession from today, and in the words of Yoneya, the only one present to attend the wedding, "The prince and princess will live happily ever after, and the other women must step aside." ”

However, there was still a harvest, not only the 50,000 Spanish silver dollars that he had borrowed from Anna for a white slip were written off. The Marquis de Santa Cruz family also provided a dowry worth no less than 200,000 Spanish silver dollars! He even informed that since the Marquis de Santa Cruz family only had this one daughter, the children of Swainbo and Anna in the future were still eligible to inherit the territory of the Marquis de Santa Cruz's family!

On that day, the large villa estate in the backyard of the Consulate General belonged to Swenbo's private residence. ushered in its hostess.

Anna changed her image of a warm and charming aristocratic daughter, and began to direct the family's marrying servants to move boxes and boxes of household goods into the mansion. The procession of carrying things started from the entrance of the Consulate General, crossed the lawn, entered the office lobby, and then turned into the corridor. Finally, into the backyard, there was a long stream of people shuttling around.

Unlike his newlywed wife, who displayed her charm in a spirited manner, Shi Wenbo was drinking in a small study with the arms smuggler Mi Gu.

"! I know that Sino-foreign joint ventures are unreliable! Quality problem, definitely quality problem! Shi Wenbo took out most of the boxes of unused treasures, cried and mourned, and muttered to his friends.

"If the quality is reliable, then you will bring this green hat." Miya is still the same pair of sunglasses, with a cigar in his mouth that he got out of nowhere, and he is holding Erlang's legs.

"It's over now, if she finds out...... I'm sure she'll sell Miria to North Africa! And Tina, Susan, Sigrid ......" Swenbo held his head, feeling that his nearly year-long "hard work" was coming to an end.

"Stupid! You won't send your wife back to China to raise children? Mi Gu spat out a puff of cigarette and said disdainfully.

"Hah! Good idea! I will do my best to arrange for Anna to return home by boat! ”

The Consul General, who had lost his cool in anxiety, suddenly brightened his eyes, tightened his tie, and resumed his usual smile.

"Alright, let's get down to business...... I have asked a well-connected businessman to get the news from the Netherlands that the Dutch West India Company was formally established at the end of last year. History was delayed for a few months, but not interrupted, and probably before the end of the year, they would send a fleet to North America to resume the fur trade. However, at present, their attention is still focused on the Caribbean and South America, according to the historical information provided by Su Zining, it is estimated that they will officially take over the development of the North American colonial route in a few years! ”

"After all, it's not a private fur dealer, and if the Dutch West India Company's fleet sails to a clear destination that is our nest, then I'm afraid we can't intercept it directly."

Miya took off his sunglasses, revealing bloodshot eyes, and it looked like the arms dealer who had been on the go for many years had not had an easy life.

"So we need to welcome these guests in a different way?" Shi Wenbo's eyes showed a fierce light, and the corners of his mouth sneered.

"That's something for the Ministry of Defense to worry about." Mi Gu smiled, got up and prepared to leave, "I got another batch of good women from the Netherlands, if you or the country needs it, go to the health quarantine area to have a look." ”

"Dizzy, don't talk to me about this now!" Swenbo pushed his dead friend out of the study, feeling itchy teeth.

The information provided by Miya was really tricky, and he sat alone in his study and thought about it for a long time, when a noisy noise of servants moving their luggage came from outside the room.

Svenbo suddenly smiled, showed a relaxed smile, and then opened the door and walked out.

After a while, in the bedroom, Anna was spoiled in Shi Wenbo's arms.

"Dear Anna, don't wear yourself out, in case my son is tired too, it's not good." Shi Wenbo's sweet words in the ears of his newlywed wife made the other party's face flush, "When the fleet comes over next time, I will take you back to China for a recuperation vacation, this kind of rustic place can't let you live anymore." ”

"Now you no longer need the female employees of the Consulate General to take care of your life, and the servants I brought can be completely replaced! They should be doing their official duties, not staying in our house all day, you know, dear. Anna had long known that her husband had some unclear dealings with some female employees, but now that she was pregnant, she also had a bit of a maternal glow, "My father wants you to urge the domestic merchants to do their best to bring in the goods they ordered.

"Of course! 4000 metal clothes poles, no problem! Svenbo quickly kissed the other party, and then showed a mysterious smile, "In addition, I have a gift for His Excellency the Marquis of Santa Cruz." ”

As he spoke, he muttered in his wife's ear, and within a few minutes, the newlywed daughter of the Spanish nobleman was stunned when she heard it.

The next day, a secret letter was sent to Albert, Marquis of Santa Cruz in Spain, who was staying in a convent in Anglo-Heroísími.

Perhaps in a few months, a major force of the Spanish Navy's home fleet would "accidentally" encounter the Dutch West India Company's trading fleet in the North Sea, which would either cancel the voyage or be killed by the Spaniards in a vague manner.
