Chapter 227

Time is the most diligent and just God in the world. No matter where the person who cares for him is, he will not stop the pendulum and let everything stop.

On June 6, Halloween with a wounded ship was still slowly circling along the coast of Barbados. Fort France received a reliable message that a mixed fleet of seven ships had rested in port St. George, Grenada.

Judging from the bow marks, it must be the Halloween fleet that dominated the Le Francois tragedy.

This information completely ignited the anger and panic of the French Dutch joint fleet.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the marginal conflict between the two fleets has intensified day by day. Recently, small-scale naval battles have occurred one after another. On the day of the most intensive fighting, the relevant battle reports reached three.

This means that the main fleets of the two sides are close at hand.

It's like two hurricanes heading towards each other. The closer the center of the air mass is, the stronger the turbulence of the cyclone is.

The final decisive battle has reached the stage of readiness. According to the work on the map of the staff of France and the Netherlands, the British main force is likely to wander within 100 kilometers west of Grenada.

At this time, the evil and undoubtedly powerful force of the Halloween fleet suddenly settled in St. George's port, just like a jackal servo to the battle field of two lions.

What does it want?

Or think more deeply, Peter Parker, what does this cunning Englishman want?

Fort France urgently began the second round of deduction, and soon came to the conclusion that the Halloween fleet would break through the peripheral defense line with the loss of two or three ships, and join the battlefield at the most vulnerable time when the battle lines of both sides collapsed.

The 24 pound artillery of the Andes will become a terrible battle killer. Under the escort of Jupiter and the golden deer, it will be difficult for the glued joint fleet to effectively contain it.

This is an ambush enough to change the winning state of the battlefield!

The result of this deduction was soon transmitted to the glory, the general flagship of the joint fleet. Lieutenant general Ramon, the commander of the French new continent fleet and the commander of the French Dutch joint fleet, immediately convened the highest-level deduction meeting with the fleet staff as the team to comprehensively verify the reliability of the fort France case.

As a result, there are no two to.

The staff officers and senior officers of the fleet generally believe that under the realistic situation that the combat strength of both sides is relatively equal and do not have absolute intelligence advantages, the possibility of winning or losing through fixed-point artillery battle in a stable combat time is almost zero.

This [stable battle time] is six hours for maritime top current powers such as Britain and France.

Manpower is exhausted, and long-term intensive and meticulous micro operation is a serious damage to sailors' energy. Although their endurance and concentration can be improved through training, they always have their limits.

Once more than six hours, the influence of objective factors such as wind direction, sail surface, center of gravity and ocean current on the attitude of the ship will become more and more prominent.

The deformation of the ship attitude will lead to the collapse of the battle line, and then the large radiation will affect the accuracy and power of artillery. In order to maintain the offensive situation, the commander can only break up the battle line and seek short soldier mobile warfare and side contact warfare.

This is the moment when the combat effectiveness of a single ship against the formation is the weakest. The suppression is large enough to make the class III ship capsize in the gutter in the battle with the plural class v,

Not to mention the existence of the Andes equipped with 24 pound guns in the Halloween fleet!

The commanders of the joint fleet suddenly found that Halloween, which annexed the Defense Fleet, was not only the sustenance of the hatred of the French, but also upgraded to a real threat. Eliminating it has become an urgent problem for the joint fleet, which can not be delayed for a moment.

"We must avenge the victims of Le Francois before the decisive battle!" a new topic was put forward at the rehearsal table.

His reason is very good. The United Fleet is far superior to Parker's fleet in terms of morale and combat effectiveness. Once Peter Parker is defeated and assumes the head, the Halloween fleet that has lost the commander will surely flee away and may flee back to Britain.

At that time, it will be too late to avenge Le Francois's soul. Once the British reorganize the fleet, Le Francois's tragedy will become a headless case, and there is no possibility of settling grievances!

The strong sense of mission immediately filled the hearts of the gentlemen attending the meeting. They represent justice and their actions will be blessed by God.

A conspiracy against Grenada began.

On June 8, Fort de France announced that the French Dutch joint fleet would go to le Fran ç OIS to mourn the dead in the capacity of the representative of the colonial government of the French new world. The action code was [the noble blood of France cannot flow in vain].

On June 9, in response to the declaration of the colonial government, the army took action before the Navy.

Two regiments of Martinique Garrison and the newly formed civil army opened a heavily guarded defense line around Fort France, singing a song of revenge and marching towards the Pere volcano area in the north of the island.

Before that, the big black sander who was at the dock on the night of the tragedy evaporated without warning. Chalamon personally searched all the fragmented bodies, and there were no people alive or dead.

The slave army suddenly changed from dual core to single core.

Lachamon was weak, far from the decision of his companions, and could not shoulder the burden of the whole slave army.

He became withdrawn. Before leaving Le Francois, he quietly gave up his dream of founding a nation and led his followers with low morale to flee all the way north. His goal was the easy to defend and difficult to attack Pele mountain.

In the evening, the joint fleet officially launched, showing a posture of giving up the decisive battle between Britain and France, crossed the Saint Lucia Strait, went north to Martinique along the intersection line between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and set off by sea towards the mountains where the rebels gathered.

No one noticed that in the dead of night, the revenge fleet previously established in response to the tragedy quietly left the home team under the leadership of the flagship fury.

They went south at the exit of the Saint Lucia Strait, penetrated deeply into the hinterland of the Atlantic Ocean, avoided the merchant ships that haunted along the way, and sailed for four days. They appeared in the Grenadines without being aware of the gods. They were only one day away from the location of the legendary Halloween fleet, the capital of Grenada.

On June 11, the land forces went to war with the slave army. In the outer suburb of St. Pierre, the slaves who were not superior in equipment, training and morale retreated day by day.

As long as the defeated, dead or alive, fall into the hands of the French, they will soon become decorations on the cross.

Thousands of crudely made crosses are paved all the way from St. Pierre to the hinterland of the mountain, and directly connected to the smoke filled volcano from the beach to form a new road, which is called the "road of loyalty" by the French.

On June 12, the revenge fleet raided St. George's port in Grenada at dawn.

It is said that there are only two or three small fishing boats ready to go to sea in the remote commercial port that should be filled with evil ships of the Halloween fleet

The pioneers on the island looked in horror at the new class III battleship fury, which was as powerful as a mountain. Before the French fired, they rang the town bell and chose to surrender.

In the battle of the Windward Islands, following the British invasion of the Atlantic coast of Martinique, France seized Grenada with a high profile.

This is the opening bell of France.

On June 13, the United Fleet, which was sailing comfortably along the coast of Martinique, crashed unprepared into the battlefield created by Sir Parker.

From baspant to granriviere, this calm offshore route belongs to France and Martinique, the overseas province of the kingdom of France.

The United Fleet enjoyed the days without fear, while enjoying good wine and not too bad ship meals, while enjoying the end of those damn slaves and the Halloween fleet more damn than slaves.

They thought they had made a beautiful diversion, which not only showed the muscles of France to the world, but also postponed the decisive battle with the British, and eliminated the Halloween fleet that was enough to become a decisive variable with a classic strategic deception.

As everyone knows, all this is just a part of Peter Parker's plan
