Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone in the Song Empire in North America began to prepare for the New Year, and in addition to the slaves and prisoners working in the empire, both citizens and foreign European laborers seemed very excited.

The Chinese citizens are excited that they can celebrate the New Year in this era, and this year's life is prosperous.

Indian citizens, on the other hand, thought that they could celebrate the holiday with their Chinese citizens, proving that the empire had truly included them and had not excluded them.

Because in the concept of the Indians, only oneself can celebrate the festival together.

Especially when I heard that there were ancestors to be sacrificed during the New Year, and the school had already brainwashed the Indians that they had an ancestor, so this was a big deal.

Therefore, the citizens of the Indians are also very happy, and they are very concerned about the New Year, they have prepared a lot of things, and they are waiting for the New Year to come.

And those European citizens, as well as European workers, are happy because they can simply celebrate the holidays.

On the Imperial side, European holidays were not allowed to be celebrated by law, so these Europeans had to obey this law in order to make money.

But in any case, it's always a good thing to be able to celebrate the holidays.

It is important to know that although the law does not allow European holidays, the holidays stipulated by the empire can have holidays, and those who work during the holidays can also receive a good salary.

Therefore, the citizens of Europe and China and the workers of European origin are also very happy about this.

In short, in the matter of treating the New Year, everyone in the Song Empire was happy, and no one was dissatisfied.

Besides, after such a hard year, everyone should take a break to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of a year's hard work.

Man. With a few dollars on hand, you always need to spend it for a few days.

As a result, the cities controlled by the Song Empire in North America, as well as the towns that were being established, were filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

Unlike North America, Central America is a little weird.

The huge Imperial fleet, with San Diego as a springboard, used it as a base and began to rapidly expand into Central America.

In strict accordance with the plan drawn up by the General Staff, they used a very obscene and insidious strategy to sneak attack the Spanish colonies of 'Nassau,' Santiago,' 'Havana,' Veracruz in the Gulf of Mexico, Mérida,' Trusillo, Cayman,' 'Santo Domingo,' and 'San Juan'.

And the means are to use the port to replenish, and then take advantage of the Spaniards to relax their vigilance. Then the sneak attack in the middle of the night succeeded.

Although such a method is not on the table, the final result is very gratifying.

It can be said that in a short period of time, taking advantage of the lack of news from the Spaniards, the Imperial fleet captured numerous colonial cities and ports and islands off the coast of Central America in one fell swoop.

But at this point, the rest of the Spaniards had already reacted and were beginning to be at war.

The Dutch, because of the aggressiveness of the Imperial Fleet, the Dutch colonies on the Central American side no longer paid attention to the situation on the European mainland, and joined forces with the Spaniards to deal with the Imperial Fleet.

Meantime. The Spaniards and the Dutch sent emissaries to Manhattan to ask why war had not been declared.

In their opinion, the Song Empire did not have a chivalrous demeanor at all, and its style was completely like that of a thief and a robber.

Today, the Imperial fleet in Central America can be said to have complete control over all the northern ports and islands. Such a result made Zhao Hongyu very satisfied.

Although it did not take all the Central American colonies in one fell swoop, the results were very impressive.

With those cities in the northern part of Central America to rely on, the Imperial fleet could slowly plot against the entire Central American region.

After all, it is simply impossible to eat into a fat person in one breath. Zhao Hongyu's original expectation was not like this.

At the earliest, Zhao Hongyu thought that it would be impossible to take three or four cities, and then a naval battle would begin.

But because the Imperial fleet is cautious. And in order not to leak the news, merchant ships were forbidden to go to sea, and a large number of Spaniards were slaughtered everywhere they went, so the news of the fleet's entry into Central America was controlled for a long time.

By the time the Spaniards and Dutch reacted, the empire had already captured a large area.

Speaking of which, it is also extremely accidental that the news of the fleet leaked out.

Otherwise, the Spaniards and the Dutch may continue to be blinded.

But in any case, there are frequent naval battles on the Central American side, and the Imperial fleet has the upper hand.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was not interested in meeting the envoys of the Dutch and the Spaniards.

After the last, Zhang Tie came forward to receive it, and gave an answer after the most.

We have an agreement with France and Portugal that when they attack the Spaniards themselves, we will attack the Spanish colonies in Central America to cooperate.

And because we are allies with France and Portugal, Spain, which is at war with the French, is of course also an enemy of our empire.

What the!

The French and the Portuguese rebels actually signed an alliance agreement with the Song Empire!

The emissary sent by the governor of the Spanish colony was shocked when he heard the news.

In this case, it is no wonder that the Song Empire will go to war against them, which is not a good thing.

Now 8% of the Spanish colonies in Central America are occupied by the Song Empire, and the Spanish fleets have all gone to Europe, and they are fighting with the French in the Mediterranean.

Therefore, on the Central American side, they are no match for the Imperial fleet.

Although it was united with the Dutch, the same was true of the Dutch fleet.

Now there have been several naval battles on the Central American side, but each time it has been a great victory for the Imperial fleet, and in this case, it seems that the interests of Central America cannot be preserved.

Moreover, he had no way and certainty to convince the Song Empire not to continue to attack the colonies in Central America.

Yes, there is no benefit on his side in exchange for an armistice.

The Spanish envoy was in a very bad mood, and after meeting Zhang Tie, he left Manhattan in a hurry.

An emissary sent by the governor of the Dutch Central American colonies questioned why the Imperial fleet had harassed the Dutch colonies in Central America.

Zhang Tie's answer to this was very simple, that is, he took a fancy to the Dutch colony.

The concise answer made the Dutch envoy choke at once.

He had imagined a lot of answers, but he hadn't thought of this.

From Zhang Tie's words, it can be heard that the Song Empire has great ambitions for Central America, and the fleet will definitely not be withdrawn so easily.

And now their situation is also not good, a large number of fleets have been transferred back to Europe, and are fighting the British in the North Sea.

The British, having lost their North American colonies, have now turned their attention to the European continent and have made a deal with the Spaniards.

Moreover, the Imperial Fleet destroyed a large number of Dutch warships in the Central American Caribbean Sea under several engagements, and with the naval strength that the Dutch now possessed, it was no longer possible to stop the footsteps of the Imperial Fleet.

And on the European side, there is no way to support itself.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the Song Empire conquers the entire Caribbean.

You are so insidious, you go to war without declaring it, and you also use the means of docking to replenish provisions, which is not chivalrous at all!

Villain! Thief!

In the face of the envoy's words, Zhang Tie just smiled faintly and said: Soldiers are not tired of deceit, this is war!

Immediately, the words that the messenger wanted to say behind him were blocked.

It is a fact that the Song Empire's navy is now stronger than them, and the words of the big fist are also the most reasonable in the world.

At the end of the day, the Dutch envoy angrily dropped the phrase 'see you on the battlefield', and left the city of Manhattan in a gloomy manner like the Spanish envoy.

At the same time, Zhang Tie asked people to announce to the outside world that in the future, the ships of the Spaniards and the Dutch would be found in the waters of the empire and would be free to sink them, and immediately the whole empire knew about the empire's war against the Caribbean.

The Dutch and Spaniards in Manhattan were terrified for a while.

Fortunately, the Empire's civil affairs officials appeared and told them that if they didn't want to stay in the Empire, the Empire could send them to the Caribbean colonies.

Those who wished to stay would have to renounce their citizenship, and the Empire would issue them temporary residence permits, while planning a concentration camp for them to live in.

After obtaining the temporary residence permit, these remaining people have to go through a period of investigation and study, and in the future, if they have the opportunity, they will become official citizens of the empire.

As for the investigation or something, it is actually brainwashing and learning.

As long as they have been brainwashed and have gone through layers of assessment, then the empire will not mind accepting these people.

After all, the population of the empire is too small now.

At this point, most of them, with the exception of a few hundred who were willing to go to the Caribbean colonies, chose to stay in Manhattan and strive to obtain citizenship documents to become citizens of the Empire.

You must know that the Song Empire is too rich here.

No one wants to go back if they have a choice.

What is there to do in the country?

The aristocracy oppressed the people everywhere, causing the people to live in misery.

Only here in the Empire can they live like real people.

For these Europeans, the current Song Empire is like the United States in later generations, with an aura that attracts the attention of people from all over the world.

At this point, an invisible turmoil disappeared without a trace, and everything returned to its original calm.

Not on the Imperial side of North America, the Caribbean side was really panicked, and the Imperial fleet overwhelmed the border and launched a series of offensives, and the combined fleets of Spain and the Dutch fought several battles with them, but in the end they all ended in failure.

For this reason, the people of the Caribbean colonies were very frightened one by one.

They don't know when the Imperial fleet will come to the door. (To be continued.) )
