Chapter 419: San Diego Starts (Three Watches!) )

The order to occupy San Diego was secretly issued to the marines of each battleship, and the Gene Man soldiers were ready at ten o'clock the next day.

All they had to wait for was that when night fell, they could start moving.

With the cover of night, their movements can be very easy.

In order to paralyze the Spanish garrison in San Diego, Chelsea sent to inform the administrators that the fleet would leave early the next morning for South America.

At the news that the Imperial fleet was leaving, the Spanish administrators in San Diego were relieved and at the same time very entangled.

I was relieved because the Imperial fleet didn't do anything unfavorable.

And the tangled thing is that the sailors of the Imperial fleet are very rich, and they spend their money very generously here in San Diego. In just three days, the income of all classes in San Diego has doubled.

For the Imperial Fleet, which was so generous and could also drive the local economy, how could the Spaniards and the merchants here not want them to stay a few more days.

In this way, with a tangle of joy and disappointment, the Spaniards accepted this reality.

Because of this, the Spaniards' vigilance against the Imperial fleet was relaxed for a while.

After all, people are leaving here, aren't they?

Therefore, there is no need for continued surveillance.

Besides, the Imperial fleet has been very disciplined in the past three days, and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

And according to observations, people did come to supplement supplies, and there was not the slightest interest in San Diego.

As a result, most people agree that worrying is completely unnecessary.

Chelsea's approach has done a good job of paralyzing the Spaniards.

At the same time, in order to paralyze the Spaniards even more, the sailors and marines of the fleet at ten o'clock in the evening. Again the crowd appeared in the commercial area near the pier to buy drunk.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, the dock business area slowly deserted.

The deliberately indulgent sailors and soldiers also returned to the docks to board the battleship under the pretext that they were leaving San Diego the next day.

Time passed by one minute by one, and midnight came quickly.

At this time, the pier was already deserted, and there were few pedestrians missing.

Except for one or two Spanish sentinels, there were occasional cat meows.

Because they relaxed their vigilance, the Spanish sentries were no longer so nervous, and they always kept an eye on the direction where the fleet was docked.

Midnight in Canada comes. They began to doze off.

And in the battleships of the Imperial fleet, the Gene Man soldiers are sleeping and resting to make up for sleep, waiting for the early morning attack time to arrive.

Yes, the time of the battle plan was half past two in the morning.

This is the time when the human body is most sleepy, and it is also the time when people fall into deep sleep.

Attacking at such a time, the Spaniards simply did not have time to react.

On the deck of the battleship, observers kept an eye on the Spanish sentries on the docks, and immediately reacted to Chelsea in the war room.

As the clock ticked by, it was soon half past one in the morning.

Genetic soldiers resting inside the battleship. They all screamed quietly.

In the dim light of the pier, several dark shadows flashed quickly.

But the sentries who were dozing off didn't notice it at all.

"Everything is normal, the offensive can begin."

Chelsea looked at his pocket watch. Then he nodded to the surrounding non-commissioned officers and gave the order to attack.

The soldiers began to walk up to the deck from the cabin, and the landing board on the outside of the battleship was lowered and extended to the shore.

"Hey. Look at the Song Empire's warships, why are there so many figures, what are they doing, are they ...... Not! ”

A Spanish sentry noticed that something was not quite right. But before he could finish his sentence, a dark figure appeared from behind him and grabbed him.

The razor-sharp blade slashed through his throat, and his lifeless body staggered to the ground.

Before his companions could react, they were killed in the same way.

Subsequently, their bodies were dragged into the dark street corners.

After the Marines landed on the shore, they began to run towards their respective goals according to their plans.

The Spanish sentinels along the way were all dealt with by the scouts one by one.

So, when the troops drove to their respective target buildings, they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.

The government building, the magistrate's mansion, the Spanish barracks, the dock post......

Dividing Line –

"Why do you want to do this, there is no friction between our Spain and your empire."

After an hour of fighting, San Diego easily fell into the hands of the Empire.

And the whole city has changed owners, but the people of the city still don't know what to do.

The Imperial forces met little resistance at all, and the Spaniards surrendered.

The reason why it took an hour was to count the waiting from half past one, and the travel time on the road.

The Spanish soldiers were all held together, and the San Diego magistrate was escorted to Chelsea.

This administrative official, who was dressed in pajamas and captured in his mansion in his sleep, was still a little confused about the situation at this moment.

He didn't know why the Dao Empire had suddenly created such a big battle and wanted to attack them?

So, when he met Chelsea, he asked loudly.

Faced with the question of the Spanish administrator in pajamas, Chelsea only replied lightly: "San Diego is now under the control of our empire, not only all the colonial interests of the Spaniards in Central America after San Diego will belong to the empire." ”

After listening to Chelsea's words, if the administrator doesn't understand, he is really a pig.

Before the administrator could scold or beg for mercy, Chelsea waved his hand and let him go.

"Your Excellency, what about the Spanish soldiers and the officers?"

Chelsea's Chinese lieutenant walked over at this time and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Chelsea thought for a moment: "Do you have any good advice? ”

The adjutant proposed, "We've taken San Diego here, but we're about to move on to our next target." Although to leave some garrisons here. But the number of garrisons will certainly not be too large, so these Spanish officials and those soldiers, we will have to use extraordinary means to deal with them, so as to avoid possible troubles in the future. ”

Chelsea looked stunned, and he understood what the adjutant meant.

After thinking about it carefully, Chelsea thought to himself: as the adjutant said, it is impossible for him to leave too many garrisons, after all, he is about to plan for the occupation of the next colony. The number of garrisons left behind had to take care of the city, so it was impossible to have too many men to watch over the Spaniards.

But it's also a scourge for these Spaniards to keep. They are all warriors and can fight as long as they take up arms.

If something happens that causes them to run out.

Then here in San Diego, it will cause big trouble.

"Then get rid of all these Spanish officials and soldiers, but quickly!"

Chelsea could not bear to slaughter the captives.

But he knew that this was the best way in front of him.

Without them, the garrison would be able to control the situation in San Diego in a short period of time.

In this way, I can devote all my energy. It's all on the next target.

The lieutenant who had advised Chelsea did not immediately convey the order after he left.

Instead, he left the command and came to a dimly lit corner of the street outside.

'Chelsea took my advice and didn't react much. It seems that his mind has begun to slowly accept the ruling principles of the Empire. It has been slowly assimilated by us, and we will continue to observe this record. ”

It turned out that this genetic person was in addition to being Chelsea's aide-de-camp. It was also the personnel who the Ministry of Intelligence placed around him to spy on and observe him.

The reason why Wang Shan did this was also just in case.

After all, Chelsea has a high status and belongs to the upper echelons of the fleet.

Plus he's still a European. So Wang Shan had to pay more attention to him.

Regarding Wang Shan's approach, Zhao Hongyu also turned a blind eye and did not ask, but he knew it.

There's always nothing wrong with being careful, and it's better to do that than to get into trouble later.

If Chelsea really have any ideas in the future, the intelligence department will also solve him in the shortest possible time and make the hidden danger disappear.

It was only after making contact with the Intelligence Department's personnel in the fleet that the lieutenant left the street and found a squad of troops to give Chelsea orders to the captain.

He then temporarily requisitioned the fighters and led them to the site where the Spaniards were being held.

The Spanish soldiers who were imprisoned, the Chinese lieutenant was ready to settle the matter last, he first arranged for the soldiers to be put under enhanced supervision, and then went to the place where the Spanish officials were being held.

When he got there, he conveyed Chelsea's order to the Imperial non-commissioned officers who were in charge of them, and then they began to bring out the Spaniard officials one by one, and quietly settle them.

It didn't take much time to deal with these officials, and it took about half an hour or so to solve the problem.

The soldiers then began to dig pits to bury the bodies of the slain Spanish officials en masse.

The adjutant led the team back to the site where the Spanish soldiers were imprisoned, and began to continue the massacre in an orderly manner.

Overnight, San Diego had a different owner, and all the Spanish soldiers and officials, all the tribesmen, were killed.

The next morning, the people of San Diego opened their doors and realized that something was not quite right.

It took a long time for someone to realize that something was wrong.

The Spanish flag hanging on the administrative office building was gone, replaced by the five-star red flag of the Song Empire.

The Spanish soldiers who usually patrolled were also gone, and became uniformed Imperial soldiers.

Because San Diego was a Spanish colony, the city was inhabited by many Spanish immigrants and a small number of Mayans.

Although Spain's military strength has been solved overnight.

But how to stabilize the Spanish people in the city is also a problem that needs to be solved immediately.

Showing off force, and announcing in public.

At noon the next day, Chelsea prepared a huge military parade into the city, and at the same time announced in public in the central square of the city that San Diego had been occupied by the Empire and was incorporated into the territory of the Empire.

At the same time, Chelsea announced the laws of the empire, as well as the tax rate, in public.

The people of San Diego have just woken up to what happened.

It's good to dare to love this, the owner of San Diego has changed, and the Song Empire is simply an undeclared war.

But what more people are curious about is that San Diego changed hands in one night, how did the people of the Song Empire do it?

And where did the original Spanish garrison, and those Spanish officials?

Those people seem to be gone.

Spanish immigrants living in San Diego are a little nervous.

They don't know what the new ruler will do to them.

The Mayans didn't matter, for them it was nothing more than a change of ruler, and it wasn't a big deal.

Isn't it all the same who rules San Diego.

Besides, the generous Song Empire was more popular with the Mayans than the Spaniards, who were generous.

And the tax rate announced by Chelsea just now is more than ten times lower than when the Spaniards ruled.

In other words, in the future, I will no longer have to worry about those high taxes, and I will be able to have some surplus money every year.

That's a good thing.

Of course, there are also people who are cautious about this.

These are not questions for Chelsea to consider.

After announcing the tax rate and promulgating the laws of the Empire, he appointed the trusted consul of San Diego, leaving behind a fleet of thirty-six warships and an army of three thousand men, and set out for one of the following targets.

Chelsea left San Diego, and the new rulers began to register the residents.

Whether it was a Spaniard or a Mayan, the officials who came to the door asked them if they wanted to stay and continue to live or if they wanted to return to Spain.

They gave two options.

If they want to return to Spain, they will have to give up their possessions in San Diego.

The empire had ships to send them back to mainland Spain.

If those who remain, they must participate in studies (brainwashing) in the future, and then become citizens of the empire.

As for the benefits that can be enjoyed after becoming citizens of the Empire, and the obligations they have to assume in response, the administrative officials are clear and unambiguous to these people.

As for how to choose, that's a matter for these Spanish immigrants.

But one thing is clear to the political officer, and that is that the Spanish immigrants who choose to leave San Diego will never be sent back to the Spanish mainland, and what awaits them will be hell. (To be continued.) )
