Chapter 2998 Enemy of the World
However, at this juncture, it seemed that the gods were trying to make things difficult for the Fizen authorities. A series of bad news from abroad woke up Lord North like a dream, and he had to admit that little William Pitt was probably right.
Under the guidance of the wrong diplomatic policy, the Kingdom of Fizhen is becoming the "public enemy of the world" in the eyes of all countries in Vares!
...
Since the outbreak of the War of Independence in 1626, the representatives of the "Continental Congress" have determined that it is impossible to defeat the regular army of Fiji only by the improvised "Continental Army", so they hope to seek foreign aid.
Looking back after three years, the foreign policy formulated by the "Continental Congress" was undoubtedly wise, although there were many setbacks in its implementation.
In the early days of the war, the diplomatic activities of the Continental Congress did not achieve the expected results.
Out of various concerns, the major powers in the old world refused to recognize the revolutionary regime represented by the Continental Congress, not to mention spending money and guns to help them fight for independence.
Until the autumn of 1626, the Continental Army unexpectedly won a big victory in the Baden Wetlands, forcing the 4th Division of the Fizen Infantry led by General Johnny Burgoyne to surrender collectively, which greatly boosted the revolutionary spirit. The morale also doubles the confidence of foreign friends who are watching the Continental Army.
After the Great Victory in Baden, the Continental Congress made a breakthrough in its diplomatic work. It successively concluded alliances with the Korath Empire in the Far East and the Kingdom of Canaan. It successfully issued "independent bonds" in Fort Korath and obtained a large amount of military supplies. Things have improved.
When the time came to the autumn of 1627, the Continental Army repelled the troops of General Thomas Cornwally at Durning Town, winning a victory more brilliant than the Battle of Baden, smashing the Earl of Winthrop and quickly conquering Yar. Falheim's idea has aroused strong repercussions in the international community, and the ambassadors of the Continental Congress have more confidence in bargaining with the governments of various countries.
On the second day after the victory in Delin Township, Joseph Adams, the Minister of the Continental Congress stationed in Patus, the capital of Seablue Kingdom, received an invitation from Seablue's current foreign minister, Lord Parini, inviting him to have dinner.
Not long after, Lord Parrini, accompanied by Mr. Adams, went to Galti Island, the temporary residence of the Continental Congress, for fishing. agreement.
The Muspelheim region in the south of the New World is a colony of the Seablue Kingdom, and this colony has two important cities with developed economies and a large number of residents in the north and the south. The southern hub is the colonial capital Andran, and the northern important town is named after the Royal Seablue family. The port city of Kaos City.
Kaos Port is located near the mouth of the Jinsha River, a tributary of the Delin River, facing the calm Horn Bay, crossing the Brass Pass to the north, and only five hundred miles away from Delin Town.
According to the cooperation agreement signed by Lord Parini and the Continental Congress, the Hailan authorities will raise a large amount of military supplies in the colony, ship them at the port of Kaos, and transport them northward to the newly opened port near Delin Town. General Green's troops provide supplies.
In the past, most of the military supplies of the Continental Army came from the Far East and Canaan. The communication cycle across the vast ocean was too long, and there was a high probability of encountering bad luck such as storm attack, pirate plunder, and Feizhen’s broken fleet interception. These factors Both drive up transportation costs.
Now the Continental Congress has formed an alliance with the Hailan people to establish a transportation line from Kaos Port to Delin Town. The transportation cost will be lower and the supply efficiency will be higher. Why not do it.
Lord Parini not only threw an "olive branch" to the Continental Congress, but turned around and flirted with the Holy Ashean Empire and the Boswa Kingdom, and offered to open the port of Kaos to the merchant ships of the two countries. Everyone came to do business with the Continental Army. Wouldn't it be nice to make a fortune together?
Of course, Hailan people are not doing good deeds in vain. The "Kaos Port-Delin Town" sea line of communication can be opened to the Far East, Canaan, Yashan, Baoshihua and other countries, but in case Master Fei is not happy Now, send a fleet to find fault, brothers must work together to maintain smooth shipping routes and free trade!
Sure enough, when the time came to the spring of 1628, the dull North cabinet finally realized that the situation was wrong, and sent a note to the ambassadors of various countries to issue a strong protest!
The authorities of various countries ignored the protests of the real man, and the angry Lord North threatened to send more fleets to combat illegal trade on the east coast of the New World.
Unexpectedly, the opposite happened, and the Holy Ashean Empire, the Ocean Blue Kingdom, and the Boswa Kingdom immediately jointly announced the formation of a "Free Trade Alliance".
Just one week later, the naval fleets of the three countries gathered in the port of Kaos in early March 1628 and held a joint military exercise in the waters of Horn Bay. Lords were invited to the event.
What's even more ironic is that Admiral Herel Benliu, the admiral of the Continental Army and Navy who was born as a pirate, also appeared in the VIP seat of this military exercise as an observer.
This is undoubtedly an open provocation to the Fizhen authorities, a naked slap in the face!
Feizhen is known as the "Empire on which the sun never sets" and has the most powerful navy in the world of Vales. There are a total of eight fleets arranged alphabetically from A to H. Shan, Hailan, and Baoshihua are the combined navies of the five major powers. However, war is not a tonnage calculation on paper. Even if it is as strong as the "Empire on which the sun never sets", it would not dare to single out the world with its power.
Take the navy that Fiji is proud of, Fleet A is also known as the "Channel Fleet", which is responsible for patrolling the strait between Fiji and the Atlas continent to protect the safety of the homeland.
Fleet B is the "Meteor Ocean Fleet", Fleet C is the "Storm Ocean Fleet", and Fleet D is the "Golden Horn Fleet". They are all stationed at overseas bases far away from the mainland and are responsible for maintaining ocean routes.
Fleet E, F Fleet and G Fleet all perform missions on the colonial coastline.
E-Fleet is cruising the west coast of the New World to combat the growing smuggling in the Vanaheim Colony.
The F fleet is far away in the Graberen colony, supporting the garrison to suppress the riots caused by the local aborigines.
Fleet G went even further and went to Atlantis Island at the beginning of the year to assist the local colonists in fighting the attack of the indigenous forces on the island—the Arkham Sultanate.
Finally, Fleet H, under General William Howe, was assisting Earl Winthrop in suppressing the Continental Army on the east coast of the New World.
The "Empire on which the sun never sets" with eight fleets seems to be invincible, but it suffers from too scattered overseas colonies, and there are too many overseas interests to protect, so that it affects the whole body, and dare not easily mobilize the fleet. It's like an octopus with all its tentacles nailed, caught in an embarrassing situation.
