Chapter 922 Cuba's Long-Term Plan, the Way to Destroy the Spaniards!

"Mecate, the Mayali Iron Mine in the prophecy, oh, maybe it should be called the Moon Mother Iron Mine, what is the specific situation?"

The starlight falls from the zenith, and the oil lamp ignites a spark. The warm orange light lights up the table, and the sweet aroma of wine wafts through the palace. The monarchs and ministers gathered to drink and chat about sailing knowledge, and the atmosphere was intimate and harmonious. And everyone held candlelight to talk at night, deciding on the important affairs of the kingdom, and they were full of vigor and vigor.

"Your Majesty, we can't estimate the reserves of the Mayali Iron Mine... But, it is a whole black gray and red iron ore mountain range, stretching as far as the eye can see, almost extending the entire sky! It's just the mining area outcropping on the surface. They are all at least twenty or thirty miles away. As for the underground mineral reserves, let alone! And the quality of this large iron mine, after I checked carefully, is obviously much higher than that of Black Iron Mountain!..."

Speaking of the majestic scene of the Mayali Iron Mine Belt, Priest Mecate's face was full of piety and fanaticism.

"Praise the Lord God! I was worried that I would not be able to find this prophesied iron mine... But I didn't expect that it would be of such a huge scale, it was just like the Lord God's Snake Mountain!... Besides this iron mine, we Also found several large copper deposits, as well as some unclear deposits..."

"Praise you, Your Majesty! The Cuban Snake Island on the sea, just as prophesied, is transformed from the body of the Feathered Serpent God! That rich snake island is full of scattered divine power, and there are also mineral deposits of concentrated divine power everywhere. The mine, this snake island, is the Lord God's gift to the whole world!...Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise the prophecy inspired by God!..."

Hearing this, Xiulot touched his nose and nodded calmly. He also did not expect that the scale of Cuba's large iron ore belt is so huge, it is estimated that the scale of reserves is measured in billions of tons. And such a large iron ore belt with a level of 100 million tons will inevitably have many high-quality rich ore! The ore quality of those high-quality rich ore is definitely much better than the Heitieshan Iron Mine developed by the Kingdom, that barren small mine with a million-ton level!

"In the Heitieshan Mine in the south of the Kingdom, many three-meter-high earth-made shaft furnaces have been used to smelt at high temperatures to produce a large amount of raw iron... The technical level of this kind of smelting is at most the level of the Warring States Period of the Celestial Dynasty. .And the quality of iron ore is also very low, with many impurities, it is difficult to smelt good iron..."

"Therefore, the final iron material produced by the Heitieshan Mine is relatively low in purity and quality, and lacks uniformity and toughness. This iron material is also the same as the iron in the Warring States Period. If it is made into iron weapons, it is very easy to Breaking in a fierce battle is not as good as the kingdom's bronze weapons! However, it is enough to make iron farm tools and improve the kingdom's productivity!..."

Shulot rubbed his chin, thinking of the reports from the Southern Iron and Steel Institute in the past few years, he didn't lose anything. He is already very satisfied that the iron smelter can continue to increase its scale and continuously produce iron farm tools!

Technological progress cannot be achieved overnight, and needs to be explored through long-term practice. Relying on his piecemeal divine guidance, as well as a large amount of manpower and material resources, it is already very rare for the ironsmiths in the kingdom to achieve this step. And if we really want to achieve leapfrog technological progress, we still have to rely on the harvest of nautical exchanges, and directly steal, no, learn from the mature technology!

"If you can obtain the iron and steel making technology in East Asia, or capture professional blacksmiths in Europe..."

Xiulot longed for a moment, then shook his head again. These are still far away, but what can be touched right now is the high-quality large iron mine in Cuba. As long as there is better iron ore, the quality of ironware will naturally improve a bit.

"Well! The Lord God bless! Another key purpose of controlling Cuba is to control this large iron ore belt and provide iron for the entire Central American world! ... Iron Bay Town occupies the large iron ore belt, and it is the kingdom on Cuban Snake Island , the most core stronghold! This stronghold must focus on management, build a huge ironworks, and expand it into a solid stone fortress and fortress!...The kingdom’s ironsmiths and brick-burning craftsmen must be sent to Cuba’s Long Island as soon as possible ..."

Thinking of this, Shulot pondered for a while, and asked Mekart again.

"Mekart, how about the smelting and brick-burning technology of the Taino people?...Oh, okay! It's blank... Well, that means there is still a lot of room for productivity development, which can also be said to be a good thing...The Lord God is witness! Then you think, On Snake Island in Cuba, what is the kingdom most lacking? Can Taino Ding Zhuang, who has converted to the Lord God, be trained as a warrior?…”

"Your Majesty! The Taino people are a very peaceful and hardworking tribe, and their beliefs are also blank. They urgently need the guidance of the Lord God. They are good at farming and fishing. They are very tall. They are good laborers for cutting trees and mining mines! ... However, they need to be trained They fought wars, and cultivating their habit of fighting in battle was probably too costly and not easy... Therefore, besides all kinds of manufacturing craftsmen, what the Cuban Snake Island lacked most at the moment were reliable warriors and missionary priests! "

Speaking of this, Priest Mecate expressed a passionate expression and begged for his life generously.

"With a fleet of 200 people in the kingdom, you can convert two Taino tribes of 3,000 people, occupying a large iron ore belt for dozens of miles! If there are 2,000 warriors and hundreds of priests... Priest Tomat and I, You will be able to become a kingdom, convert hundreds of thousands of Taino tribes, and control the most affluent 800-mile snakehead on the 3000-mile Snake Island!"

"Two thousand warriors...hundreds of priests...three thousand miles long Cuban Snake Island!..."

Shulot pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Mecate, two thousand warriors are not enough! The Cuban Snake Island alone is three thousand miles away. On the opposite side of the Snake Island, there is the same vast island of Haiti, and a series of archipelagos in the east... the Kingdom of the Lake , to go to Snake Island in Cuba one after another, and transport a whole army of 8,000 warriors! And my warrior captain, Bertard, will also go to Snake Island in person and sit in Cuba!…”

Hearing this, Priest Mecate showed surprise on his face. He knew the status of the warrior commander, he was almost the most trusted minister in the kingdom. The head of the guard, Eckart, had a twinkle in his eyes, and couldn't help touching his nose. In the final analysis, he was able to become the Chief of Guards beside His Majesty precisely because Bertard was going out of Zhendonghai...

"The lord god bears witness! The white-skinned demon across the sea is coming! The kingdom must be prepared, the alliance must be prepared, and the whole world must be prepared! This is not a one-time or two-year battle! Instead, it will continue for dozens of generations, through hundreds of years, through great plagues again and again, and it is destined to be a battle of doomsday gods with countless casualties!"

With a serious expression, Xiulot once again warned everyone and himself. He knew very well that the most frightening thing about Western colonists was not the current strength of the European countries, but the speed of development of the European countries!

The trend of thought of the Renaissance has spread in Europe, and calls for religious reform are brewing. And the knowledge culture disseminated by universities one after another, the increased literacy rate, and the prosperous commodity economy are accelerating the progress of the whole of Europe! To resist all these, resist the continuous invasion of the West, and protect the Americas of the Native Americans, it is doomed to be a long, hard battle with no end in sight...

"The Spanish kingdom's sea power advantage is destined to take the absolute initiative in the fight with the alliance! Even if a fort is built on the island of Cuba, it can only guard one important place. It is impossible to send the Spanish colonists from Central America. Get rid of..."

"And what is it that can really shed the blood of Spain and destroy the sea power of the Kingdom of Spain?"

Shulot pursed his lips tightly, his thoughts drifted away to Europe, thousands of miles away. During these years of politics, he has a deeper understanding of politics and war. And standing on the shoulders of the history and great men of later generations, he has a clearer understanding of the possible future of Europe than anyone in this era!

"What can shed the blood of Spain and destroy the sea power of the Kingdom of Spain... is by no means the Mexica Alliance, the empire of Central America... but only the powerful European countries!"

"The Portuguese are businessmen who know the current affairs, they are friends who are hostile to the Spaniards, but they are also enemies who have sea power and long for the New World! For an empire based in America, it is necessary to fight against the rising sea power in Europe. The most reliable and powerful allies of the colonists who came here are naturally the land powers in Europe!..."

"Thus, the one who can defeat Spain, Portugal, and the future Netherlands and England... who can kill the sea power countries in Western Europe and kill the most Christians! ... Only the most pious 'filial son' of God, the ally who blasphemed Christ... "

Thinking of this, Shulot raised the corners of his mouth, and silently uttered a word in the flickering lights.

"France..."
