Cape Achareight, the southernmost point of the Great 6 in Africa. 【Reading.com】

Powerful cyclones and rapids can cause rough waves, sometimes up to 30 meters high, and even large ships can be shipwrecked. In addition, the water in front of Cape Agulhas is relatively shallow, and the offshore reefs have caused many ships to be wrecked, making it a well-known dangerous sea area in Africa.

But none of this stopped the advance of the fleets of the six European powers, who gathered all the forces they could muster in Cape Town, South Africa, and then rounded the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas to march a thousand kilometers to Port Elizabeth, which was occupied by the Chinese fleet.

Among them, there are more than 15,000 old-fashioned three-masted and four-masted warships and more than 1,000 new-style gunboats. These ships came from European mercenary fleets, European pirate ships, South African ships, and ships drawn from other parts of Africa. Almost half of the naval forces of the six European countries in West Africa have been redeployed, with the exception of Senegal and Morocco.

This decisive battle has a bearing on who the market and resources of South Africa belong to, and even more so to the markets and resources of more than 10 countries in West Africa.

And the Chinese gunboats assembled in Port Elizabeth were also as high as 2,000 units.

In addition, the Chinese fleet was followed by 5,000 warships of neighboring countries in the Indian Ocean and 5,000 warships of Southeast Asian countries. A considerable part of the player ships of these Indian Ocean and Southeast Asian countries are Chinese-made warships, so although there are many younger countries participating in the war, the cooperation of the warships is surprisingly coordinated - navigation, firepower, and defense capabilities are all the same.

More than a dozen neighboring countries provided food and other logistical supplies for the Chinese fleet, which to a certain extent alleviated the supply pressure of the Chinese fleet's expedition.

The fleet group of the six European nations made a big attack, crossed the Cape of Good Hope, sailed over the sea of Cape Agulhas, and rushed to Port Elizabeth.

After receiving intelligence on the actions of the fleet of the six nations, the Asian fleet group in Port Elizabeth. They also lined up on the sea outside the harbor and marched toward Cape Agulhas. Naval warfare is not as complicated as the 6 places, and there is usually no change in the terrain on the sea, so the tactics of naval warfare are very simple: present the enemy, destroy the enemy, destroy one side, win the port, and defeat the army.

At noon on February 20, off the coast of Cape Agulhas, the European and Asian fleets met head-on. The supreme commanders of the two huge fleets led the group of ships to ram each other violently. Without hesitation.

The number of warships on both sides exceeded 10,000. There is no way to effectively command one's own fleet of ships. Wait for the Supreme Commander's orders to be transmitted to each of the warships. The situation on the battlefield has long since changed. The command is also outdated. Naval battles on such a scale. The only way is that the flagship has gone. The whole group was slaughtered there. Narrow road to meet and win.

The Supreme Commander of the Asian Fleet is the Commander of the Indian Ocean Navy of China, Sea Soul. He moved from Hambantota, Sri Lanka, to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, a week ago. Personally commanded the Eurasian naval battle, which decided the dominance of Africa's Big 6.

On this land of Africa. It was the Asian bloc that overpowered the European bloc. Or is it the European bloc that overpowers the Asian bloc. It's all about it. Although this battle cannot completely determine whose territory the entire Africa Big 6 belongs to. But it is possible to decide to whose sphere of influence at least two-thirds of the African countries belong to.

The Asian ship group consists of 12,000 warships. Among them, 2,000 Chinese gunboats were at the forefront of the group. The Indian Ocean and Southeast Asian ship groups lined up on the left and right flanks, respectively. Asian ship groups form a goose-shaped charging formation. Crash head-on into a group of European ships.

Two thousand three-masted gunboats were the sharpest spear point. They are in the center. It was a hundred five-masted gunboats.

One hundred five-masted gunboats in the center. It was ten six-masted gunboats.

Guarded by ten six-masted gunboats, a giant flagship with seven masts and fourteen sails. This is already the pinnacle of ancient sailing shipbuilding technology, the pinnacle of the Iron Age, and its size is so large that it almost reaches the level of a small aircraft carrier.

This seven-masted ship. It stands out from the crowd among Asian ships and is extremely eye-catching.

In the command room of the flagship cabin, Sea Soul sat on the captain's throne, staring intently at the European ship group more than ten miles away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. He was flanked by dozens of admirals, staff officers, and commanders of China's Indian Ocean naval fleet, all with nervous and excited expressions on their faces.

The big war is imminent, and it is just around the corner.

The sea soul suddenly remembered the old and white. And a group of brothers from the Wolf Smoke Organization. Over the years, under the leadership of the boss, this arms dealer organization has gathered many first-class professional gamers, and has continued to fight in many large-scale games, growing day by day, and its tentacles have long spread all over Asia. In "Empire", Wolf Smoke has begun to intervene in the African Big 6 and the professional player system in the Middle East.

It's a virtual game, but it's a battleground for professional gamers. It will greatly affect the real interests of professional gamers. Wolf smoke. Continuously attract first-class professional gamers, perhaps in the near future. will dominate the world of professional gamers.

The supreme commander of the European ship group is the British professional player Ledler. Among the first-class professional players in the United Kingdom, he can be the top three, and he is a high-level figure in the British professional gamer world, and compared to the sea soul, his ability, identity, and status are not much worse.

He had been in charge of the British fleet's struggle for the Strait of Gibraltar, but the war in South Africa was so imminent that he had to come there himself.

Now the big 6 in Europe are fighting together. Under the obstruction of Spain and France, the British fleet could not safely enter the Mediterranean, and was excluded from the European Big Six by the three major European military powers, Russia, Germany, and France.

Looking around the big 6 in Europe, Britain doesn't even have an inch of land.

That's it, Britain has always regarded itself as a country outside the big 6 in Europe, and it doesn't have to be in the big 6 in Europe. As long as Russia, Germany, and France do not harm the interests of British players, Britain does not want to fight them to the death.

But Britain could not be without colonies, without resources and markets. Without resources, factories in the UK would not be able to produce goods. If there is no market, there will be no goods to dump. You will not be able to make high profits and wealth. Without these two things, Britain would be a small and medium-sized country of average strength, and there are at least dozens of such small and medium-sized countries in the world.

The only countries that could become British colonies were South America and Africa.

South America is a place where the British fleet does not dare to go, because it is the territory of influence that American players have long "booked", and German, French, and Russian players do not dare to compete with American players for the territory of South America when their own strength is insufficient. Grab resources and markets.

The only thing left is Africa to work with.

Players from various African countries have formed an alliance to form a so-called Grand Alliance of African States to defend against the invasion of European players.

But the players of African countries are too weak in their own strength, even if a grand alliance is formed, what does it matter? When a group of grazing sheep come together, they are still sheep and do not become wolves because they join hands. This alliance is also a fancy and impractical alliance, fragile and loose, without a real powerhouse.

Morocco, Senegal and South Africa are the northernmost, middle, and southernmost parts of West Africa, respectively. It is the three bridgeheads of the British colonization of Africa, and it is very important.

As long as the British fleet controlled the ports of these three countries, it was equivalent to controlling 11,000 kilometers of coastline in West Africa. Control the resources and markets of dozens of large and small countries to the sea ports. Although the Dutch, Portuguese, French, Spanish and other national fleets are also in western Africa, the British naval strength in Africa is the strongest, and a considerable part of the land resources and markets are under the control of British players.

But unexpectedly, in South Africa, the British fleet was faced with the biggest challenge in history - China, a powerful empire that temporarily ranked first in comprehensive strength in "Imperial Expedition", and it was an empire in rapid expansion. Even the United States is now inferior to China in terms of overall strength and territory.

The Chinese fleet has completed control of most of the important strategic locations in the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, replacing India's position in the Indian Ocean.

What made Lederer feel most angry and speechless was that India was a wreck after eating a losing war. They quickly relented, did not continue to resist the Chinese fleet, withdrew from the competition in the Indian Ocean, and even many Indian and Chinese merchants began to do business. In addition to the conflict over Pakistan, it is simply astonishing and incomprehensible that there is harmony between the two countries.

Otherwise, the Chinese fleet would not have been able to control the Indian Ocean so smoothly and in such a short period of time, let alone set its sights on the virgin land of Africa's Big 6 and South Africa.

It is precisely because of India's subservience and retreat. As a result, China has enough naval fleets and European fleets to snatch South Africa.

The direct cause of today's naval battle between the European and Asian fleets was the competition between Chinese businessmen and businessmen from six European countries for South Africa's resources and markets. The indirect reason is that India's weakness is brought about, and India's retreat has caused the two major Eurasian military blocs to directly confront South Africa.

In the past few days, Leedler has also sent an envoy to India to persuade India to send a fleet to attack the Chinese fleet and disrupt the supply lines and ports of the Chinese fleet in the Indian Ocean

However, it was rejected by some Indian leaders, who even said that they had no confidence in the strength of the European fleet and did not think that the European fleet would be able to defeat the Chinese fleet. India does not want to be used as cannon fodder by European players. If the European fleet is defeated. It can escape back to the European Big 6, and the Chinese fleet will not be able to pursue it to Europe for revenge in a short time. But India, the second largest country in South Asia, can't escape.

After Ledler received a reply from the Indian collar at that time, his face turned white with anger. That's right, he does have the idea of using India as cannon fodder. But is it necessary for you to put it so plainly? He was extremely disappointed with India's performance.

"Boom!"

The first shell finally fired. The two huge ship groups finally inevitably collided together, bursting out with devastating power. Tens of thousands of shells from the two ship groups vented out to each other.

Lederer came back to his senses, raised his binoculars, looked solemnly at the huge group of Asian ships on the opposite side, and clenched the palm of his right hand.

The victory or defeat of the British Empire, in one fell swoop.
