Chapter 138. The Journey of the Spanish Empire

The Spanish Empire is located on the peninsula in the southwest of Europe, and it has sailed to North America with Galen sailing ships at the end of the Middle Ages, and the glorious fleet has also shrouded the entire Atlantic Ocean in a hundred years, and even the Atlantic routes are all the gold fleets of the Spanish Empire.

The vast amount of gold plundered in North America was easily transported by these fleets to the European mainland, and from this steady stream of gold, the Spanish Empire squandered its wealth to create an invincible armada that once made both the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts tremble, and it was truly invincible, and could not find any rival.

With more than 150 large warships, more than 3,000 heavy guns, tens of thousands of sailors and soldiers, and more than 1,000 sailing merchant ships that can be called up at any time, this is the invincible fleet that crisscrosses the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Although the famous Anglo-Spanish naval battle broke out between Britain and Spain in the Strait of Almada, which ended in the destruction of the Spanish Armada, the real history was only a small hole in the fence of Spain's complete monopoly of the Atlantic, and even Spain carried out five expeditions to Britain after that.

Moreover, the reason for Spain's real decline is actually because it absorbed too much gold from the Americas, which collapsed its own financial system, and even related to the Ming Dynasty in the far East.

But this does not mean that Spain is useless, Spain in the game as a major country, of course, there is a reason, whether it is the elite skirmishers and excellent line infantry at the beginning of the army, and the Galen galleons that can form a scale in the early stage of the navy, and the cost-effective galleon, are all one of the best.

Even in terms of the naval strength in the early stage, even Britain in the British Isles was no match for Spain, and even after the number of galleons increased, even in the face of those third-class warships with 74 guns in the middle period and as the main force of the fleet in the middle period, they were not inferior!

In the modern reality of the earth, these galleons loaded with gold and known as Spanish treasure ships formed the main force of the Invincible Armada, and also formed the golden fleet from the Atlantic Ocean to the coast of Spain.

The spacious, sturdy hull is designed to withstand waves and multiple rounds of enemy artillery, the tall hull has a double deck, and the 60 short-barreled heavy guns, despite their close range, can not appear in front of it intact after a violent and turbulent salvo, or miserable with countless holes in preparation for the baptism of the sea.

That's why Levi chose Spain, in this real world, without the so-called battleship flicking technique in the game, a battleship can destroy an entire AI-controlled fleet alive.

You know, this is the real world, only safety is the development route that Levi needs, although he can run quickly, but he must not be separated from reality!

The Galen merchant ship that can reach the later stage is Levi's favorite type of merchant ship, suitable for ocean voyages and can carry more cargo, compared to the slender Indian trading ship, the Galen merchant ship can also become a warship armed to the teeth and famous when necessary!

This is a world dominated by islands, whether it is trade or war, it is all dependent on warships to navigate the sea, and even the sea of this world is still complicated and turbulent compared to the sea on the earth in the previous life.

Therefore, the galleon with its heavy and stable hull is an unbeatable choice, which can be used as a warship, a merchant ship, and even a transport ship for various purposes, which is simply a masterpiece of Spain, just as a merchant ship designed according to this complex time.

And you must know that Spain is located on the European Peninsula, and without a strong army, it is absolutely impossible to maintain its regional hegemony, and the Catholic country has controlled part of the Roman Peninsula and annexed Sicily in the Mediterranean, even the Papal States of Rome City cannot actually control it, which is enough to show that Spain is strong.

The navy is only one of two fists on earth, and even Britain, which is entirely focused on the navy, has an elite army as a home garrison, or a land force to land on the shores of other countries.

Although it cannot be compared with the powerful armies of Britain, France and Prussia, Spain with a complete technology tree also has a comprehensive range of privates, cavalry, skirmishers, artillery and grenadiers, and is fully worthy of the once glorious invincible empire, even if it was once in the hands of a king with a defective IQ, it also has the strength to make Europe fearful.

What's more, in the later period, Spain also had the most powerful naval warship - the Trinity.

A monstrous beast with hundreds of guns, an invincible overlord at sea, a super battleship that eclipses any challenger, the strongest in the Armada era, and even in the late game, it is the strongest battleship in its own right, which has surpassed reality and games, even in this world.

"Ding... Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King of Spain, you have chosen your faction, and what glory the once glorious Spanish Empire will shine in your hands, this is the journey of a new world, and your people will follow in your footsteps, without regrets, and open a new path for you and your empire with innocence. ā€

"The faction [Spanish Empire] has been successfully activated, the faction has entered lockdown mode, in the future, [Building] and [Recruitment] will lock the Spanish Empire, please adjust your development path as soon as possible. At the same time, according to the system rules, the [Random] option can still draw troops and buildings from other factions. ā€

"Since you have successfully activated the faction [Spanish Empire], its [Building] option has been successfully activated, please explore the detailed options yourself. The [Recruitment] option and changes cannot be made to recruit troops directly, please explore it by yourself according to the [Building] option. ā€

"Ding... Your Majesty the King of Spain has successfully absorbed mystical energy, the Effect option has been increased, and you now have a new effect to choose from on a daily basis. Revive Monsoon: Spend 100 energy to summon a mysterious monsoon that lasts for two hours and will help your fleet sail with the wind for a long time. ā€

"Ding... Your Majesty the King of Spain, you have successfully absorbed mystical energy, and the [Special Effects] option has evolved, and now your special effect options have changed. Howling Wind: Consumes 100 energy to summon a storm that blows for ten minutes, speeding up your fleet for a short period of time and setting off raging waves on the sea. ā€

"Your Majesty the King of Spain, because you have successfully activated the faction [Spanish Empire], you will now be given a [Peace Mansion] by the system as a primary administrative unit, rewarding you with the automatic upgrade of your original flagship [Devo Merchant Ship] to [Galen Merchant Ship], and the sailor faction to which you belong will automatically complete the transformation."

"Ding... You can now choose to build [Elementary City Fortifications], [Fishing Port], and [Easy Road], but the [Building] option also requires Power Points to build, Dear King of Spain, for the sake of your empire and journey, please collect Power Points as hard as you did before. ā€

"Ding... The faction [Spanish Empire] has been successfully locked, Dear Your Majesty, your Empire's cabinet is currently vacant, you can choose the pillars you think are talented to join the cabinet to assist you in governance, and you can also promote the talents and generals you think are up to your will. ā€

"Where the Spanish Empire will go in the New World, Your Majesty, consider carefully, for your decisions will affect your empire and your people, simply because you are their king."

A series of system prompts have completely surfaced in Levi's mind, and the dialog box that was originally a rudimentary point has also undergone countless changes with the entanglement of the data link, and finally completely formed a dialog box with an oil painting style in the game system.

And Levi also opened his eyes slightly at this time, and the pain in his whole body disappeared with the completed transformation, as if the pain that had completely appeared in the soul just now had never happened like that.

Turning his head to look at the cabins around him, it was still the familiar Devo merchant ship, although flexible but also relatively small, he couldn't help but exhale slowly, a mysterious power was sealed in his mind, and it could also completely appear on this Devo merchant ship through his mind at any time, completely changing the merchant ship that had been with him for two years.

"Your Majesty, it looks like you just got some sleep?"

A sailor walked in, also holding a tray in his hand, and a wooden wine glass on it, came to Levi's side very respectfully, handed the wooden wine glass containing amber liquor to Levi, and said with a bit of elegance: "First mate Green asked me to bring you an aperitif, today's lunch is paella." ā€

"Paella?"

Hearing his salutation, Li Wei was slightly stunned, but at the same time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, nodded and stood up in this hammock, reached out and took the glass of aperitif and drank it all, and smiled at the respectful sailor: "Tell my dear sailors, after eating the paella, we will return!" ā€
