Exercise?

San Diego's Spanish administrator, Lucarus, was a little confused.

If it was just a naval exercise, why did these Song Empire fleets come to Central America?

And hundreds of warships.

This makes very little sense.

Although he was very puzzled by this, he didn't think much about it.

After all, the fleet of the Song Empire did not show any malice.

And with so many people docking at the port of San Diego, those crew members coming into San Diego will bring a lot of development to the local economy.

You must know that the sailors of the Song Empire were very rich.

Each of them can make a big difference to the local economy in San Diego by spending a small amount of money.

Overall, that's a good thing.

In that case, Lucarus agreed.

When the San Diego officials relayed the news of the administrator's consent to Chelsea, the commander of the fleet, Chelsea was reassured.

As the first British captive to defect to the Song Empire, Chelsea now has the highest status of any European citizen.

Now that he has become the commander of the Imperial Fleet, he can be said to be above 10,000 people under a few people.

Of course, there are many Chinese genetic adjutants under his command, as well as middle and low-level non-commissioned officers to serve as checks and balances.

For this, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan will not fail to take it into account.

Some time ago, Chelsea accompanied Zhao Hongyu back to Europe, and during this trip, Chelsea's silence and dedication were seen by Zhao Hongyu and remembered in his heart.

Zhao Hongyu is still very satisfied with Chelsea's performance.

All in all, Chelsea are now integrated into the empire and have embraced their role as a citizen of the empire.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Hongyu will consider appointing Chelsea as the fleet commander of the Caribbean Raiders and let him show it.

Chelsea has also become a banner among the European citizens of the empire. as well as role models.

Through Chelsea, the Empire also sent a signal to its citizens of European descent that if they were loyal to the Empire, they could also become nobles, or have status and wealth.

People, there must always be a role model and a goal, and then there will be greater passion, right?

"My lord, San Diego has agreed to let us land, so shall we enter the port right now?"

After receiving a notice from San Diego, the Chinese-American adjutant asked.

Chelsea smirked and said, "Everything is as assessed by the General Staff Headquarters." As long as we don't show malice, the other party will not be too vigilant. And in order to make our losses a little smaller, there is nothing wrong with doing so. Come in at once, and at the same time convey my order, and everyone be in good spirits, that we will take San Diego tomorrow night. ”

With Chelsea's order, the fleet slowly sailed into the port of San Diego.

San Diego is worthy of being a large Caribbean port established by the Spaniards for more than 100 years, and the three or four hundred warships of the Song Empire can actually enter and arrange berths.

Stand on your own deck. Chelsea was thrilled as he watched the sailors shouting trumpets to lower the sails and turn the locks to lower the anchors into the sea.

He had been in the Empire for more than a year or two, and he was originally just a handyman on a British merchant ship. But by chance, he became a prisoner of the Empire.

But with his own vision and cleverness, he defected to the crown prince and became his 'cronies', and now he is the commander of the imperial fleet.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a good record yet. To prove to the world that he Chelsea has all of this, he didn't get it on the back burner.

Among the European-American citizens of Manhattan, there are quite a few who say behind his back that he has such a position. In fact, it's just relying on sycophancy.

In fact, he has no Chelsea skills at all.

The people who said this were originally some very experienced European captains, and their experience and understanding of the sea were indeed better than his Chelsea.

But Chelsea are better than them now.

Therefore, these people who are not to blame will say some strange things behind their backs.

Because these guys are jealous of themselves and envy themselves.

In the eyes of those people, Chelsea, who was originally just a handyman, could do something that would have been better if it had been handed to them.

The Song Empire's warships were very strong and had more powerful guns.

It would be easy for them to command these fleets and attack any country.

So, they look down on Chelsea.

Because Chelsea is not as experienced as them, and the Song Empire's warships are powerful, Chelsea can get merit without much effort.

Chelsea know all this.

But he didn't want to argue with those guys because of that.

He joined the empire the earliest, and also has the status of a banner man, subordinate to the deputy leader of the white flag. belongs to the adjutant under the crown prince's father-in-law, and his status is prominent and noble.

Therefore, he cannot afford to lose his share.

Hmph, these guys know a fart, the Early Song Empire doesn't want you to be so talented in fighting, nor does it want you to be brave. Because this is of no use in the empire at all, with the empire's strong ships and guns, personal martial arts are useless at all.

The Empire's requirements are simple, and that is that you need to be obedient.

Tactics and strategies are formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, and you only need to strictly follow the operational plans drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters to carry out the strategy.

Superfluous things, absolutely not to do.

Only then will you be a qualified commander.

Chelsea know this all too well.

It is precisely because he is obedient and honest that he will be favored and selected as the commander of the Caribbean Raiders.

And before leaving, he also received a hint from Crown Prince Zhao Hongyu that after the success of the Caribbean strategy, he Chelsea would be appointed deputy governor of the Caribbean, and at the same time be in charge of the military deputy commander of the army and navy.

Chelsea have no problem with that.

It's good to be a deputy, and he understands that in his own capacity, if he wants to be the official chief, he has to work hard.

Chelsea are not ambitious and ambitious, he is very easy to satisfy.

And Zhao Hongyu took a fancy to it. That's exactly what it is.

The guys who are talking behind their backs and jealous of Chelsea, although they are really more talented than Chelsea.

But they are ambitious, and they are not easy to manage one by one, so Zhao Hongyu would rather choose Chelsea than them.

Of course, those captains with a lot of experience are still qualified to manage a battleship.

For these people, Zhao Hongyu has also been paying attention, and they will become the captain of a warship in the future. But the status will only stop here, who makes them less obedient than Chelsea.

"Tell everybody. Have a good day off today. Tomorrow wait for the signal, business as usual. ”

Just as Chelsea was thinking, his body shook and he felt the hull of the heavy battleship hit something.

This is the case when the battleship hit the dock when it was docking.

Chelsea then gave his Chinese lieutenant a word of advice.

The adjutant nodded, then turned to leave.

"If someone from San Diego comes to me and says I'm going to a banquet, they say I'm not feeling well, and I don't want to show any flaws in the banquet."

Chelsea are very cautious. A word of instruction to his guards.

Then, he walked into his captain's room.

At the port docks of San Diego, Spanish immigrants and Mayan people here have come out of their homes to the docks. Curious to watch the fleet from the Song Empire.

These people have also heard about the empire that appeared in the north, and they have long been curious about it.

Since they have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes today, how could they let go of such an opportunity.

Some daring Mayans. He even boarded his own boat at the dock and slowly rowed closer to the Imperial warship to the busy sailors on deck. Selling their own fruit or being a woman......

At this time, it is dusk, and a touch of sunset on the horizon is slowly setting into the sea.

The golden light is sprinkled on the surface of the sea, and the golden light is reflected.

At the end of the day, a reddish fiery cloud appeared, dotting the sky like a dream.

The coconut trees on the shore swayed in the wind, and the seagulls surrounded the battleship, constantly making 'boom' calls.

The Mayans, with their large earlobes tucked in thick ornaments and blue tattoos on their faces, dressed in their own national or Spanish costumes, and holding bananas, coconuts, fire lotus fruits, and other fruits in their hands, kept selling to the sailors on deck.

What's more, on a small boat, there were three or four Mayan women dressed in Spanish clothes and holding a parasol, scratching their heads at the sailors.

This kind of thing is not uncommon for Europeans to be in their ports.

Poor Maya, after being conquered by the Spaniards, actually learned even this little thing from the Europeans.

Genetic sailors are not very interested in women, but they are still willing to buy some fresh fruits.

Therefore, the Mayan vendors who were brave enough to come and peddle fruit were all smiling one by one.

San Diego is located in the tropics, and although North America is already a land of ice and snow, it is still very hot here in San Diego.

Many fruit vendors are still shirtless and shirtless.

Because of its location in the tropics, the fruits sold here are fresh and delicious.

If the fleet goes a little further south, the temperature will be even higher.

At ten o'clock in dusk, when the sky was not completely dark, those Mayan vendors saw that the people of the Song Empire were easy to deal with, and they slowly became bolder.

They kept going back and forth between the docks and the warships, transporting fruit back and forth, hoping to make a fortune in a short time.

You know, these fruits aren't worth much in San Diego because they're all over the place.

It's hard to come here today, if they don't cheat, then I'm really sorry for myself. (To be continued.) )
