Chapter 279 The True Enemy Appears
What Xiao Lin didn't know was that in this world, a force had emerged that regarded him and his new kingdom of America as an absolute enemy. This strength is the shadow over Europe, the rulers of the Middle Ages, the cage above the royal power. Well, it's the church, actually. Ever since the Church discovered that Schorin had sheltered the Free Assassin Alliance, it had been somewhat hostile to Schorin. Originally, if Xiao Lin didn't cause trouble, they wouldn't have been able to get along with him all the way, after all, their influence in the New World was really limited.
However, I didn't expect Xiao Lin to die all the way. Not only did it protect the Free Assassin League, but it also promoted them to a high position, and took the initiative to select people to join the Free Assassin League. However, this is in their eyes, and in Xiao Lin's opinion, he just asked these professionals to help train a group of spies and agents. But people don't see it that way, they are 100% sure that any spy agent is fake, and it is real to take the initiative to help the Free Assassin Alliance.
Some of the later trained spies and agents were involved in two sieges of the Templar Order, and they confirmed this idea. When they got to know the company carefully, they found that it was actually a force that had a greater impact on their business than the Free Assassin League. The company advocates freedom and equality, encourages scientific research, and the whole society is full of freedom and beauty, except for one sun god, and even completely denies other gods.
None of them could be forgiven. The Church believes that excessive freedom can only lead to depravity. People who are not restrained will only be caught up in endless strife, which will lead to endless wars. This has been proven in previous history, and they are sure that they cannot go wrong. So, they feel that there must be an absolutely powerful force that rules people's minds. Naturally, they think they are the right people.
But corporations don't just preach freedom, they encourage it. What's more, the company's scientific and technological strength has far surpassed theirs. Perhaps the most intolerable thing for them is that the company completely denies the existence of God. In order to get rid of the influence of Catholicism and Christianity on the white people, and in order to prevent a group of white people from rising up against him when the church appealed in the future, he tried his best to prove God's falsehood, and some evidence was forged, and the effect was still very good, that is, the church was offended miserably.
The Church had already regarded the Yanhuang Trading Company as a mortal enemy, but Xiao Lin had no idea. Europe is not the company's focus in the future, and Sholin has never intended to attack Europe, so he will not waste much time there. Alexei and the spies and agents they trained, Shawlin also sent some back to Europe, but they were all in the four countries of England, France, Spain, and Portugal, and they didn't pay attention to the church at all. Alexey and they are also slack, the strength of the company has given them a huge sense of security, and they no longer take the church seriously.
Naturally, they didn't alert him. Chauel had noticed that the Templars were doing something, but he only knew that they were white, not that they were Templars, and that he thought it was some people who were dissatisfied with him for driving out Britain and France and occupying two countries in North America. At that time, Coulson was unsuccessfully ambushed because he led a team to attack the artillery positions of the Apache Front, and because he knew that there would be no good end to going back, he left the battlefield and returned to his tribe in advance, and found an excuse to take all his men away.
Coulson was not willing to return to Europe, and although he would not be punished, he was proud not to allow himself to continue to fail. So, he took his team to the Caribbean bay. Here, there is the hidden power of the church, and he wants to rely on this power to rise among the pirates, accumulate greater power, and constantly delay the strong pace of the Yanhuang Trading Company. There are some people in the church who are disguised as pirates and have been active here, firstly, to lay a secret pen, and secondly, to provide some funds for the church through looting.
After all, Coulson was a Templar who had been trained since childhood, and his strength and strategic command ability were not bad. If it weren't for the fact that the company was too united and strong, he wouldn't have ended up in this place. In a short period of time, the three ships and the pirate group of more than 300 people were completely subdued by him. Then, relying on this little power, he began to expand wildly. Thanks to his luck, at this time, no one paid attention to the pirates anymore. Britain and France were driven out of the colonies, and there were no interests here.
Spain and Portugal will soon hand over their colonies to the company, and they will not bother with these pirates. Because Xiao Lin was born in a big country, he has never felt the power of pirates, and naturally he will not take pirates seriously. If the pirates don't provoke him, he won't care about them, and if they dare to stretch out their hands, they will cut off their heads. After a few sorties with the fleet, there were no pirates left to provoke ships flying the company's flag.
Therefore, Coulson did not feel the obstacles of the outside world at all, and increased his strength wildly. A month before Xiao Lin's founding ceremony, his strength had reached the point of a ship and thousands of pirates. Coulson feels that this strength is already good, and there is no way to grow it in the short term. So, he began to prepare to add to the company's blockage. Coulson was moved by the fact that one of his team had received the company's weapons and supplies from a drunken Spanish navy.
However, the Spaniards were escorted by five cruisers at a time, and they had twelve pirate ships, many of which were armed merchant ships, and even if they did, they would pay a heavy price. So, he came up with a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. He first concentrated his efforts on sacking a small Spanish coastal town, attracting the Spaniards to hunt him down. Then he deliberately exposed the flaws, exposed all the clippers in his team, and then relied on his familiarity with the route and the speed of the ships to transfer the Spanish Navy away.
Then, he also united a lawless and somewhat desperate group of pirates to attack two transport ships together. Although there were not as many goods as before because there were two transport ships this time, it also allowed them to complete the battle at great speed. The two ships were merchant ships, and some escort firepower, but they couldn't stop a dozen pirate ships. Two ships of supplies, and the other pirate group was only interested in food and some clothes, thinking that they were luxury goods that could be sold for money.
Coulson, on the other hand, was only interested in the Hall M1819 rifle and the Heavy-Fist Type 1 gun above. He knew that these two weapons were powerful, but there was no channel to contact them, the British used to let them go, and now the Yanhuang Trading Company is even more strictly guarded. This time, he obtained a batch, and he immediately put it away, took out a third and transported it to the European headquarters for imitation research, and he equipped the rest. Coulson didn't think this kind of thing would alarm Shawlin, and he planned to continue doing it.
But who told him that his thinking couldn't keep up, Xiao Lin's thinking is the Chinese thinking of the 21st century, paying attention to "those who offend my Chinese, although they are far away, will be punished". And he was in the 18th century with a little bit of thinking about the influence of the world, thinking that the upper echelons didn't care about the life or death of the ordinary people. It's just a couple of non-commissioned officers in the army, and he doesn't think the company should be able to make a big move. The Spaniards, on the other hand, might try harder to hunt them down, but he didn't take them seriously.
He didn't know that Ijik had already gone out himself. After a few months of rest after completing the mission, and at the same time completing the rest of the training, the Dawnlight team went out again, and they came to the naval camp and boarded the flagship of the company's fleet - "Start", also a destroyer from the 21st century of almost four thousand tons. Igcik was the captain of the Initiate and the commander of the operation. Chaulyn asks him to find the killer and do everything in his power to rescue the instructor who the company is supporting the Spaniards, and if necessary, to leave him completely free from the lives of the pirates. In other words, as long as the task is completed, he will kill Xiao Lin and don't care.
It's been a long time since Ijik has received such a task, and his blood is boiling. He was never a good man, let alone dealing with pirates who were so bad that they were bleeding pus. He immediately hit all the battleships that did not go out of the mission, and picked nineteen battleships for himself. Among them, there are four missile boats, five submarine hunters, and ten clippers. All of them are equipped with the company's latest naval guns and 20th century Chinese-made naval guns, and their firepower is extremely powerful.
Twenty ships, more than 1,000 members of the navy, and a company of marines, which also began to be formed a year ago and are only now taking shape. The number of marines is a little smaller, but the equipment is all the same Type 81 gun family, plus the support of naval guns, there will be no problem in fighting any pirates. There's no pirate ship like in the movies, and there's no cursed and undead pirate group. Igic's first spoke to the Spaniards, who were sensitive to the Spaniards' narratives.
After enlisting the help of spies and agents from the Department of State Security, he zeroed in on a target. The Giant Shark Pirate Regiment, who had previously worked with Coulson, was discovered by him because they were selling supplies produced by the company. The Shark Pirates have had their glory days, but recently they have been at a low point. There were originally dozens of pirate ships, but now there are only five left, and the members of the group are less than four hundred. Just followed Coulson to rob a handful, so naturally he wanted to sell the stolen goods and get the funds to revive the pirate group.
The company's merchandise is never short of people who need it, which makes the process of disposing of their swag exceptionally smooth and at the same time causing a bit of a stir. Igcik discovered their ship and men, and one of them was following them, and when they returned, it was time for the Shark Pirates to be destroyed.
