This is the colony, I mean, the colony of the Caribbean, this chain of islands dotted in the Caribbean, and it was the colonists of the Old World who first arrived, who colonized, who first controlled this area. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOnce upon a time, all the islands adrift in the Caribbean, all belonged to the great and glorious, noble kingdom of Asturia.

At that time, the royal family of Asturias came from the Ostrogothic Empire. The king also served as Emperor of the Gothic Empire. This was the most powerful era for the Goths, or rather, the self-proclaimed orthodox Goths. In this era, the Gothic Empire completely suppressed the Visigoths. Completely suppressed the Britons. The Slavites were completely suppressed. The great revival of the Gothic Empire seems to be close at hand......

It's just a pity that in the end, the Gothic Empire sank again. The royal family of Asturias, the untold wealth they had siphoned off from the rich and vast New World, was wiped out in war and profligacy. Eventually, the Asturian royal family was unable to sustain his empire, and Carlos I, who was both emperor and king of Asturias, and was considered the hope of the Goths' revival, finally abandoned the throne and chose to live in seclusion.

He abandoned his responsibilities, found a place to hide, and became a coward. And the royal family of Asturias eventually withered. The throne was seized by the Visigothic royal family. At the same time, Asturias' national fortunes plummeted.

The kingdom's colonies in the New World were constantly being seized. Partly through war, partly through buying and selling. The Visigoths, the same clan as Asturias, had the lion's share. Seized the vast colony of Louisiana, as well as large swaths of the Caribbean islands.

After the advent of the Age of Discovery, people paid more attention to the role of the Caribbean islands. In several wars, the Britons also controlled parts of the northern part of the archipelago. In this way, the archipelago was divided into three parts.

The Leeward Islands in the north, which belonged to the Britons, and the Windward Islands in the south, belonged to the Visigoths. Cuba, the largest and most important in the middle, still belongs to Asturias.

In the ensuing New World War, as William said, naval warfare was much more important than land warfare. And in naval battles, William and Victoria, or the naval forces of Russia and the Britons, were also combined with the navies of Visigothic and Asturias. Fierce battles are raging across the Caribbean islands.

And rightfully so, as William thought. It's too difficult to defeat the opponent completely.

Because there are so many islands in the Caribbean. And most of the ports of these islands are in the hands of the enemy. The enemy is resupplied and repaired faster than the Coalition forces.

In this case, although the naval fleet of the coalition forces is somewhat more numerous and somewhat more combat-ready. But it is impossible to completely defeat or even annihilate the enemy.

At the same time, William and Victoria did not want to try to attack each other's islands without enough Marines and enough infantry support.

Asturias may be in decline, but they have been operating in the region for hundreds of years. A large number of fortified naval batteries and even fortresses blocked their harbors. If you want to force your attack, you will definitely lose a lot. What's more, after the heavy loss of occupying one or two ports, it didn't help.

However, even so, the Combined Fleet coped with their mission very well.

William and Victoria did not expect the Combined Fleet to annihilate their enemies in the first place. The mission goal given to them by William and Victoria was to block. as well as sabotage. If he could, William hoped to be able to drag out the naval battle until June.

Because once you get to June, then the annual hurricanes in the Caribbean will be roaring. Destroy any fool who dares to sail during this time period.

The hurricane weather will end in November. In other words, as long as it is delayed until June, then it will buy William a full five months.

During these five months, the other side was unable to transport a single soldier to the New World.

In this way, William can calmly carry out another plan, which is to enter Florida.

Although in the original plan, William rejected Victoria's proposal to preemptively occupy Florida. However, this did not mean that William did not want to annex this important and adjacent Neo-Gothic land.

If he really has a chance, if he has a foothold here.

And five months was enough time for William to stand on his feet and regroup.

It's just, of course, very unlikely. William did not think that the Visigoths' alliance with Asturias would be stupid to that extent. They will inevitably break through the blockade of Briton's combined naval forces with Russia and drop troops into the New World by June.

And now, it's April. Time is running out for them.

"The other party's attacks are becoming more and more impatient. After this, Victoria said to William - it is natural that this pampered eldest lady did not board the battleship as William thought, and then personally direct the battle as the admiral of the fleet.

She delegated power to a certain admiral in Briton. A guy named Marriot, who William was not familiar with.

But just as the Bretons had many naval warships, the Bretons also had a lot of admirals. Some of them may be very good to fight. However, the vast majority can only be described as average.

So, William wasn't too familiar with this guy...... And this "not too familiar" did help William a little bit.

In other words, they are starting to realize it. William was not surprised by the enemy's movements: "They have two months left to try to break through our defensive circle. But I think they'll succeed eventually.

As time goes on, their offense will become more and more frantic. If we try to stop them by force, we have a lot to lose. So what I mean is, we can take advantage of the situation. We can take advantage of this impatience of the other person and set a trap. Then surround them, and finally give the enemy a victory with heavy losses. "They will be able to get their troops to their destination, but after that they will not have enough ships to transport enough supplies for the expeditionary force," William said. That way, they'll be—"

"- Wait a minute, wait a minute, Your Highness William, you seem to have forgotten something. After this, Victoria interrupted William.
