Chapter 1068: Western Warships and Famous Naval Warlords Come Together

"God Bless King Henry, Mary Rose, Big Harry, Peter Pomegranate, four are Clark sailing ships. Elizabeth, Golden Lion, Intrepid, Rainbow, four are Galen sailing ships, shipwrights The masterpiece of master Matthew Baker."

"Galen ships are equipped with firecrackers and a large number of bows and crossbows. It would be great if they had artillery."

Drake, the master of navigation in England, introduced the newly built eight legendary warships to King Charles.

As the former overlord of the ocean, English civilization has many legendary warships, master shipwrights, and master sailors.

"These aren't the pinnacle of sailing, I want something as big as the Sovereign of the Seas, with tons of guns."

As the lord of England, Charlie was not satisfied with the addition of eight new Clark sailing ships and Galen sailing ships.

Master Shipwright Matthew Baker said to their king: "Your Majesty, I need the drawings of the King of the Seas before I can make them. The latest Galen ship is the Revenge, which is under construction."

"The blueprints of the King of the Seas are difficult to obtain. Ship-mounted artillery is even rarer. If the blueprints of the King of the Seas or gun paper can be exchanged for this national war, our England will once again become an empire on which the sun never sets."

Charlie boarded the four-masted HMS Elizabeth Galen and looked down at the English warships in the port: "As long as the sea is blocked during the national war, no lord is an opponent of our royal fleet."

In the port of Lisbon, the Spanish Armada is assembled, Queen Isabella of Spain has conquered Portugal, and the fleets of the two kingdoms are united.

The "San Martin", "San Juan", "San Marco", "San Juan Batista", "San Mateo" and other sailing warships are moored in the port.

These are the legendary warships of Portugal.

"All the sailors and soldiers of the St. Martin are willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen."

The Duke of Medina Sidonia and the captains pay homage to Queen Isabella.

"Our Spanish population is too small, we should carve up more land."

Queen Isabella also knew the shortcomings of Spanish civilization.

Spanish civilization has the Spanish Phalanx, the Armada, and the Knights of San Diego. It has a complete range of arms, and there are really no obvious shortcomings in arms.

But the kingdom of Spain has a small population,

After the annexation of Portugal, the population is less than that of France.

Population, as the most important resource in "Lord", is a problem that every king needs to consider.

Population is even an important indicator of the size of an empire.

The size of an empire with a population of hundreds of millions is very different from that of an empire with a population of tens of millions.

At present, there are only empires with a population of hundreds of millions, including the Han Empire, the Mongol Empire, and the United States.

Spain and Portugal ruled by Queen Isabella together have a population of more than 20 million, so Isabella has to consider how to increase the population. Otherwise, she lacks the right to speak in the western continent.

"The Armada will let them know that Spain should have a greater say in the 'Crusade' conquest and carve up more land."

After returning from the Council of Western Kings in the city of Zurich, the "Crusade" conquests joined by Queen Isabella had begun.

The kings of the West, including Isabella and Charles, are veritable kings of the Crusaders.

The city of Istanbul, the Golden Horn, Alexander the Great, and the Ottoman Sultan Shrem who was captured by Alexander inspected the reorganized Mediterranean fleet.

Kemar Reis, the "naval reformer" of the Ottoman Empire, and Barbarossa Hayreddin, the legendary pirate "Redbeard" gathered together.

The era of great voyages does not only belong to Europe, China, West Asia, and North Africa also gave birth to a group of famous naval warriors or great pirates, competing with European civilization.

Spanish galleons, galleys, light galleys, and sloops fill the Golden Horn.

The Atlantic Ocean belonged to England, Spain, and the Netherlands, while the Mediterranean Sea was divided among Macedonia, Rome, and France.

Alexander entered middle age and was still at the peak: "This time, Hayreddin and Kemal Reis, you led 30,000 of the most elite soldiers to follow me to the national war."

Kemal Reis, Barbarossa Hayreddin and other famous Ottoman naval battle generals had to surrender to the new king of Asia Minor.

Eumenes said to Alexander: "My lord, here is the list for the expedition - Belisarius, Seleucus, Antigonus, Hephaistion, Ptolemy, Leonidas, Bleda... "

"So be it."

After listening to the list of fifteen famous generals, Alexander nodded acquiescingly.

"Shrem, you command the Sipahi Cavalry and the Janissary Army, and go out with me."

Alexander asked the female sultans of the Ottoman Empire, the king of Sparta, the leader of the Huns and other vassals to go out.

Sultan Xu Leimu said coldly: "If Suleiman the Great hadn't been killed by the generals in the east and the Yeniceri Army had rebelled, you would not have been able to conquer Asia Minor."

"This is fate. The Crusades are about to begin, and this national war only delays the Crusades. Even if you don't surrender, Istanbul will be conquered by the Crusaders."

Alexander's tone was equally calm.

Alexander went from showing his sharpness to restraining his momentum, and it became even more terrifying.

Suleiman Sultan is also a strong woman. Although she is not as capable as Suleiman the Great who was killed by Huo Qubing during the third national war, it took Alexander six or seven years to conquer Asia Minor, which greatly delayed Alexander's expansion. .

However, Alexander the Great at the peak was already a holy commander, Athens, Sparta, and the Huns were Alexander's fangs, and Sultan Hyrem was finally defeated.

On the island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, the fleet of the Hospitaller Knights of St. John of Jerusalem assembled, and the fleet of Genoa arrived.

Constantine came to the island of Malta, ready to take the fleet composed of Malta and Genoa to participate in the sixth national war.

"The Knights of the Hospital, the Carthaginian War Elephants, the Genoese Crossbowmen, the Roman Legion, and the Eastern Cavalry... In this national war, one of the two holy commanders must be won."

When Constantine learned that in the sixth national war, he might win up to two holy commanders, he couldn't help but be jealous.

A holy commander is very important to a civilization, especially for a civilization with a small population, it may be a qualitative change.

In St. Petersburg, Ekaterina has a headache because she doesn't have any decent naval battle generals.

"Build a shipyard in the Black Sea, and at least 500 galleys must be produced before the national war begins."

"Your Majesty, the emperors and kings of the Western Continent held a secret meeting in Zurich, but they did not invite you. It seems that you were targeted by them."

Sophia reports a disturbing incident to Ekaterina.

Catherine was ostracized by the Western lords.

"If it's just crowding out, it doesn't matter."

Ekaterina is worried about more serious problems.

Ekaterina could not know the specific content of the secret meeting of the Western lords in Zurich. Only the king-level figures who attended the meeting knew the content of the Zurich meeting.

Sophia put a list on Ekaterina's desk: "This is the list of generals for the sixth national war."

"During the national war, 400,000 troops were sent to the border. The Teutonic Knights have been frequently active on the border recently."

"yes."
