Chapter 2998: Public enemy of the world

However, at this juncture, it seemed that the gods were deliberately unable to get along with the Feizhen authorities. A series of bad news from abroad caused Lord North to wake up like a dream, and he had to admit that William Pitt Jr. was unfortunate enough.
Under the guidance of the wrong diplomatic policy, the Feizhen Kingdom is becoming the "public enemy of the world" in the eyes of the Varese countries!
...
Since the outbreak of the War of Independence in 1626, the representatives of the "Continental Conference" have determined that the "Continental Army" assembled only by improvisation cannot defeat the Fiji's real regular army, so they have pinned their hopes on seeking foreign aid.
Looking back after a lapse of three years, the diplomatic policy formulated by the "Continental Conference" was undoubtedly wise, although it encountered many setbacks in its implementation.
At the beginning of the war, the diplomatic activities of the Continental Congress did not achieve the expected results.
Out of various concerns, the great powers of the old world refused to recognize the revolutionary regime represented by the Continental Congress, not to mention the money and guns to help them achieve independence.
It was not until the autumn of 1626 that the Continental Army fought an unexpected victory in the Baden Wetlands, forcing General Johnny Burgoin to surrender the Fourth Infantry Division of the Feichen, which greatly boosted the revolutionaries. Morale has also doubled the confidence of foreign friends who are on the sidelines in the Continental Army.
After the Great Victory in Baden, the Continental Congress made breakthroughs in its diplomatic work. It successively concluded alliances with the Far East Kolas Empire and the Kingdom of Canaan, and successfully issued an "independent bond" in Kolasberg, obtaining a large amount of military supplies and the Continental Army’s The situation has improved.
When the time came in the autumn of 1627, the Continental Army repelled General Thomas Convalley’s troops in the town of Delin, and won a victory more brilliant than the Great Victory of Baden, crushing the Earl of Winthrop and quickly conquering Yar. Fuchheim's idea has aroused strong repercussions in the international community, and the ministers of the Continental Congress abroad are more emboldened to bargain with governments of various countries.
The day after the victory of Delin Town, Joseph Adams, the Minister of the Continental Congress dispatched to Patos, the capital of the Ocean Blue Kingdom, received an invitation from the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ocean Blue, Lord Parini, inviting him to have dinner.
Not long after, Lord Parini, accompanied by Mr. Adams, came to Galti Island, the temporary residence of the Continental Congress, for a holiday fishing. During the period, he had a good chat with the representatives of the Continental Congress, and he also signed a plan to open up a sea transportation line. Agreement.
The Moosebelheim area in the south of the New World is a colony of the Seablue Kingdom. This colony has two important cities in the north and south with developed economies and many residents. The southern hub is the colony’s capital, Andran, and the northern important town is named after the family name of the seablue king. The port city of Kaos.
The port of Kaos is located near the estuary of the Jinsha River, a tributary of the Delin River, opposite to the calm Horn Bay. It crosses the Brass Pass to the north and is only more than 500 miles away from Delin Town.
According to the cooperation agreement signed between Lord Parini and the Continental Congress, the Sea Blue authorities will raise a large amount of military supplies in the colony, load them in the port of Kaos, and transport them north to the newly opened port near the town of Delin, for Nathaniel. General Green’s troops provided supplies.
In the past, most of the Continental Army’s munitions came from the Far East and Canaan. The cycle of the line of communication across the vast ocean was too long. There was a high probability of bad luck such as storms, pirates, and the interception of the fleet of Feizhen on the way. These factors All have pushed up transportation costs.
Now the Continental Congress has formed an alliance with the Hailan Man to establish a transportation line from Kaos Port to Delin Town. The transportation cost is lower and the supply efficiency will be higher. Why not do it.
Lord Parini not only threw an "olive branch" to the Continental Congress, he turned his head and greeted the Holy Ashen Empire and the Kingdom of Paulshua, 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. Isn't it beautiful to be rich together?
Of course, the Hailan people are not doing good deeds in vain. The maritime communication line "Kaoshamn-Delin Town" can be opened to the Far East, Canaan, Yashan, Baoshua and other countries, but in case Fei is really upset Now, send a fleet to your door to find faults, brothers should work together to maintain smooth air routes and free trade together!
Sure enough, when the time came in the spring of 1628, the dull North cabinet finally realized that something was wrong, and sent a note to the ambassadors of various countries and issued a strong protest!
The authorities of various countries simply ignored the protests of Fei real people, and the angry Lord North issued a threat, claiming to send additional fleets to combat illegal trade on the east coast of the New World.
Unexpectedly, it was counterproductive, and the Holy Ashen Empire, Hailan Kingdom and Baoshua Kingdom immediately announced the formation of a "Free Trade Alliance".
Just a week later, the three naval fleets gathered in Port Kaos in early March 1628 and jointly held a military exercise in the waters of Horn Bay. The Crown Prince of Canaan Colofa Zion and the commander of the Far East Navy Helena Drake The Lord was invited to attend this event.
It is even more ironic that General Helel Runliu, 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 a public provocation of Feizhen's authorities and a naked slap in the face!
Feizhen is known as the "Empire that the Sun Never Sets". He has the most powerful navy in the world of Vares. There are eight fleets in alphabetical order, from A to H. It looks majestic and powerful enough to rival the Far East, Canaan, and Asia. The navy of Shan, Hailan and Baoshua is a combination of the five powers. However, war is not a calculation of tonnage on paper. Even if it is as strong as "The sun never sets," he dare not single-handedly challenge the whole world.
Take the navy that Feizhen is proud of. Fleet A is also known as the "Strait Fleet", which is responsible for patrolling the strait between Feizhen and Atlas mainland to protect the local security.
Fleet B is the "Meteor Ocean Fleet", Fleet C is the "Storm Ocean Fleet", and Fleet D is the "Golden Horn Fleet". They are stationed at overseas bases far away from the mainland and are responsible for maintaining ocean routes.
Fleet E, Fleet F, and Fleet G all perform tasks on the colony coastline.
Fleet E is cruising on the west coast of the New World to combat the increasingly rampant smuggling activities in the Warnerheim colony.
The F fleet is far away in the Grabelen colony, supporting the garrison in suppressing the riots caused by the local aborigines.
The G fleet ran farther, and at the beginning of the year it went to Atlantis Island to assist the local colonists in fighting the island’s indigenous forces-the Sultanate of Arkham.
Finally, there is an H fleet, the fleet under General William Howe, on the east coast of the New World to assist Earl Winthrop in suppressing the Continental Army.
The "Sun Never Sets Empire" with eight fleets seems indispensable, but suffers from too many overseas colonies that are too scattered. There are too many overseas interests to protect, so that it affects the whole body and does not dare to easily mobilize the fleet. It is like an octopus with all its tentacles pinned to it, falling into an embarrassing situation where it is out of control.
