The Strait of Gibraltar under the night is extremely quiet.

Only the waves of the sea set off, making a squeaking sound. Whales and sharks that jumped out of the sea, spit out huge waters.

A Spanish sailing ship on the sea, with the ups and downs of the waves, is spectacular.

The Spanish schooner, one of the most legendary sailing ships in history, is the epitome of Spain's maritime hegemony of the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries, often reminiscent of treasures, pirates, conquerors and invincible fleets.

The typical characteristics of a large sailing ship are high chords, high-rise buildings, low fore decks, flat sterns, and a protrusion at the bow, like a crater for paddle boating, with an independent gun position.

The hull has a distinct equilateral trapezoidal shape and this **** extends all the way to the tailgate.

The Spanish sailboat has beautiful lines and the stern is surprisingly beautiful. The entire warship has an aspect ratio of 4:1, which makes it more competitive than the Clarke sailboat.

The tonnage of the large sailing vessel reached 300 tons. This tonnage enabled it to provide a stable launching platform for the cannon, while the towering shipyard also provided a fortress-like cover for the soldiers on board, giving it an advantage in melee. Below the fort is the cargo hold, where passengers and soldiers live.

At this stage, only the large buildings built by Shanhaicheng can compete with them.

After the tsunami, there have been differences within Spain about whether or not to continue to encircle the offshore fleet of Shanhaicheng. Some people think that since the port of Gibraltar has been recovered, it is simply a matter of stopping. The most important thing at the moment is to find Atlantis, and not let other countries get ahead.

Others believe that the ability to defeat the offshore fleet of Shanhai City has risen to the point of concern for the entire face of Spain. If the oceanic fleet is allowed to cross the Strait of Gibraltar, it will have a huge impact and challenge on the dominance of the Spanish Invincible Fleet in the Mediterranean.

"The glory of loss, only blood can baptize!" The main war faction said.

"The hegemony of the sea must be defended, and one step can't give in." They shouted like this.

I have to say that such a shout is very Spanish.

Throughout the European continent, perhaps no nation is more like a gorgeous, lavish, and more face-to-face than the Spaniards, as if the character of the entire Spanish nation is painted with strong red and black.

It can be said that all the gorgeous and exaggerated things in the European aristocratic society, most of them have the help of the Spanish, including the famous hard collar, fine sword, short pants, fencing jacket, lace and so on.

All of this is inseparable from the Spanish romantic knights.

Cervantes, the greatest writer in the Spanish literary world, had a thorough irony of this so-called knight in his novel Don Quixote through the protagonist Don Quixote.

This gorgeous knighthood in Spain has continued into modern times. The famous Spanish bullfighting is the best embodiment of such a knight spirit.

In Spain and even the entire Spanish-speaking world, the bullfighter is regarded as a heroic and fearless man, highly respected and admired by the Chinese, and his social status is extremely high.

Gorgeous costumes, **** assassinations, is simply a replica of the medieval knight.

This is the case, the Spanish who died face to face, can not stand the humiliation of Spain on the forum in other countries. Without too much arguing, the main war faction has taken the upper hand.

The Spaniard decided to go up the wind and defeat the Oceanic Fleet in Shanhai City.

The Spanish joint fleet that has been on the expedition covers almost all of the main fleets of the Spanish seafarers, and the main battleships are more than 600 ships.

In addition, there are a large number of Clark sailboats as frigates. There are even a variety of singular sailboats that adventurers drive alone, dotted in the combined fleet.

This time in Spain, it can be described as a nest.

The combined fleet was divided into five major combat clusters, forming a huge arc on the sea surface, echoing each other back and forth, and slowly approaching the ocean fleet under the command of the commander-in-chief of the fleet.

If Ouyang Yu does not come back in time, the ocean fleet is afraid that it will really suffer.

And everything is completely reversed on this seemingly ordinary night.

Through the night, with the waves beat the sound of the battleship, more than 4,000 "frogmen" wearing underwater breathing apparatus, soldiers divided into four roads, came to the bottom of the Spanish fleet of various warships, began to ship.

Because of the fear of the shipwrecking sound of the Spaniard on the ship, the "frogman" movement is very slow, and must accurately match the rhythm of the wave slap, and then break it off.

At this time, the Spanish warships have adopted advanced watertight compartment technology. Therefore, the "frogmen" need to at least cut two cabins at the bottom of the ship to ensure that the battleship sinks.

In this way, their workload has been greatly increased.

Ouyang Yi did not think about it. It was difficult to dispatch 10,000 "frogmen". A Chima boat has limited transportation capacity and frequently reaches the enemy fleet, which is easily detected by the Spanish fleet.

The second is how well people do things, but also greatly increases the chances of exposure and mistakes. Once they are aware of their actions by the Spanish fleet, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, after Ouyang Yu and Zheng He both considered the situation, they finally selected four thousand talented people.

When the morning sun rises again from the sea level, the thrilling night finally passes.

Four thousand "frogmen" successfully completed the task and quietly left the sea. Just twenty miles away from the Spanish fleet, the oceanic fleet of Shanhaicheng slowly came, just like the messenger of death.

Chaoyang, especially red.

The red is glamorous, the red is flustered.

The first glory of the morning sun, the sea is dyed into a blood red.

Overnight, the cabin at the bottom of the Spanish warship was flooded with water and began to sink slowly. When the sailors in the ship entered the cabin and carried out routine inspections, the flood of water in the cabin made them stunned.

"Oh, God!" The sailor was at a loss.

At almost the same time, the major fleets sounded an alarm.

The first battle group of the Spanish Union Fleet, the flagship of a Spanish sailing ship in the middle, a bald head, a small head with a white beard, and an old general wearing a Spanish plate armor.

The dress of the old general continues the typical Spanish aristocratic style, the hard collar, the fine sword and the short trousers and other standard costumes of the Spanish aristocracy. Whether it is a few hairs on the top of the head, or a thick beard has been carefully managed, meticulous.

Obviously, this is a typical Spanish aristocrat.

The old general named Alvaro de Bazin, also the first Marquis of Santa Cruz, was called the "father of soldiers" by the Spanish soldiers and was the most capable naval pilgrim in Spain.

When you mention the Marquis of Santa Cruz, you have to mention the most glorious history in Spanish history, and you have to mention the most powerful King Philip II in Spanish history.

Philip II was the son of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. After the announcement of the abdication of Charles V, he inherited the Habsburg Empire, except for the Austrian and German parts of the family origin.

Charles V's younger brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, inherited the title of the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the illustrious highest position in Germany, while the military and economic power of the Habsburg dynasty originated from Spain and the Netherlands. They are all attributed to Philip II.

This also laid a solid foundation for the rise of Philip II. It was during the reign of Philip II that Spain ushered in the most powerful era in history.

During this period, Spain even forcibly annexed neighbor Portugal.

Spain’s status as a maritime power was established during this period.

Under the rule of Philip II, Spain's national strength reached its peak, and historians called this period the Habsburg dynasty and dominated Europe.

His Majesty Philip II has several naval generals, including the Spanish military god, Fernando, the Duke of Alva, known as the "blood butcher"; Don Juan, the half-brother of Philip II, Marquis de Alvaro, Santa Cruz, and Duke of Parma, Alexander Farnese.

The white-bearded veteran Alvaro, who appeared on the deck, was the Marquis of Santa Cruz under His Philip II, and Portugal was the one who led him.

In 1583, in the battle of San Miguel, Alvaro led the army to defeat the French fleet under the command of El Madshato and executed all prisoners of war.

After the war, Alvaro became the commander-in-chief of the Spanish fleet.

In 1585, the Marquis of Santa Cruz proposed to send a naval expedition to invade England. Regrettably, the expedition was not yet ready, and the Marquis of Santa Cruz died on February 9, 1588.

The death of the Marquis of Santa Cruz became a landmark event in which the Spanish Invincible Fleet turned from prosperity to decline.

......

The Marquis of Santa Cruz is the only historical star in the Spanish wilderness ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

Other naval names will either not be born, or they will accompany Philip II, living in the royal palace of the Spanish city of Madrid, not being accepted by the player's lord.

Therefore, Alvaro was appointed undisputedly as the commander-in-chief of the Spanish joint fleet.

“What happened?” The veteran’s eyes were sharp and not angry.

"Commander, our warship is leaking, and it is slowly sinking." The first officer looked flustered.

“Why is the water leaking? Can it be blocked? How many warships are leaking? What about other formations?”

Alvaro’s heart burst into a series of questions. Looking at the red sun rising in the distant horizon, Alvaro frowned and his heart became more and more uneasy.

"The commander of the newspaper reported that the leak was caused by the bottom of the cabin being cut open. The water was too much, the mouth was too big, and it was difficult to block it. And the leak was not only a warship, but almost every warship was leaking. Others In the case of formation, I have not yet reported to the headquarters." The big man was pale.
