The governor of Hong Kong couldn't believe his eyes. He had been here for a few years, but looking at the results of his work in the past few years, he couldn't keep up with Wang Xuan's development speed in half a year.

Such a beautiful city should never appear in the barren and savage New World!

Since Wang Xuan wiped out most of the pirates in the Caribbean half a year ago, the business activities in the Caribbean are now much more prosperous than before.

It's just that the news is transmitted very slowly. It takes about one and a half months to go back and forth to Europe, and the merchants only care about whether it is safer and better to do business. As for the other... don't care!
This has left high-level officials in various European countries, including the United Kingdom, ignorant of the changes in the Caribbean Sea.

……

At this time, the strength of Wang Xuan's troops reached a limit.

The 14 old-fashioned warships have become brand new after a series of work such as the overall overhaul of the expanded dock, the replacement and maintenance of artillery, and so on.

All the post-training of the pirates has also been completed. Now, 7% of Wang Xuan's army is white, 3% is Han, and the total strength has reached 7000.

Among them, there are 5000 people in the 'Justice' navy and 2000 people in the port guards.

The Navy has a total of twenty battleships, of which:
There is a first-class battleship Dreadnought, with a displacement of 800 tons, a full load of 450 people, and 100 artillery pieces.

Five third-tier battleships, with a displacement of 600 tons, a full load of 300 people, and 60 artillery pieces.

There are fourteen fourth-tier battleships, with a displacement of 400 tons, a full load of 200 people, and 40 artillery pieces.

There are ten transport ships with a displacement of 500 tons and a crew of 70 people.

The fortifications of the port have been expanded, with a total of 300 large and small artillery pieces, and all the forts have been recast. Among them, Wang Xuan has used petrification techniques many times to reinforce the gaps between the stones, making the forts completely form a whole, and their defense power has greatly increased.

The crossfire formed by the current port defense artillery can completely resist the full-scale attack of a large fleet.

At least it is absolutely impossible for Wang Xuan's current fleet to capture the port!

Now, Wang Xuan's monthly expenses are huge, with only 7000 troops in his hand, the monthly salary reaches about 7 pounds!

Fortunately, the casinos, bars, and nightclubs were all run by Wang Xuan himself, which made most of the money the soldiers earn every month have to flow back to Wang Xuan.

It's just... the Han people brought back from Asia made Wang Xuan feel a little troubled. He knew how to save money all day long, but he didn't spend it. If there is no money in circulation...!
This is not good, this leek is too fat to grow, so it should be cut...

It's time to get into real estate...ahem.

……

On the one hand, Wang Xuan focused on the construction of his own base, and on the other hand, through exchanges with many colonies in the Caribbean Sea, he began to investigate the deployment and strength of the Spanish Navy in the entire Caribbean Sea.

After half a year or so of investigation, Wang Xuan has confirmed that Spain's total force here is slightly larger than his own. Among them, there is one battleship of the second rank, five ships of the third rank, and 25 ships of the fourth rank.

This is also the basis for them to occupy more than half of South America.

The entire Caribbean sub-fleet of the Spanish Navy is always half repaired and half patrolling various places, ensuring the safety of the port while deterring other opposing forces.

However, recently, the Western Navy has concentrated its forces together. They have discovered the unusual movements in Nazuo Port, but they have always thought that the British Royal Navy is stationed here. Although their security has been increased, they have not taken the initiative to attack the meaning of.

Moreover, Wang Xuan also made important arrangements for the concealment of the 14 Tier [-] battleships.

On the bright side, there is only 1 first-class battleship and 5 third-class ships in the port.

Recently, merchants in Nazuo Port discovered that the battleships at the military port always went out to patrol the sea, and sometimes disappeared for two or three days.

This morning, all the warships were dispatched again, but no one noticed, but the 2000 or so troops on the island began to quietly increase their vigilance.

……

Seven ships flying the 'Spanish' flag slowly sailed into a Spanish colonial port, as usual, this is nothing unusual.

When approaching the pier, the four ships suddenly changed direction slightly, the side strings were exposed, and 20 dark cannons suddenly stretched out, before the guards patrolling near the pier could react.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst a series of dense roars, intense flames erupted from the muzzle, and huge iron projectiles whizzed across the void, blasting near the cannons of the coastal defense.

The huge kinetic energy of the shell carrier caused the blasting gravel to fly, and the flying gravel hit the surrounding guards like bullets, and all those who were hit fell to the ground in pain.

Even the unlucky ones were directly hit by the shells, and half of their bodies were suddenly blown away. Flesh and flesh flew in the air, and the entire port suddenly fell into complete chaos.

The Spanish flag on the ship was lowered, and the black skull pirate flag was raised.

On the two pirate ships docked near the trestle bridge, a large number of pirates swarmed and jumped onto the plank road. Unlike ordinary pirates who were screaming and charging, they were obviously well-trained. Arrived above the port.

There are two rows on the left and right, the front row squats, the back row stands, and the musket in the hand points straight ahead, guarding the entrance and exit for more pirates behind.

After that, about 400 pirates swarmed off the two ships, divided into 8 teams and began to compete for important defense facilities in the port under the cover of artillery fire.

This group of people had obviously undergone long-term rehearsals, and their movements were crisp and uniform. The division of labor and goals were very clear, but the clothes looked particularly tattered.

When the coastal defense fort was built, in order to save money and facilitate entry and exit, after all, it was designed to prevent the outside but not the inside. Two of the pirates who landed took out two small iron balls, lit them with a torch, and threw them in.

After the two explosions of "boom, boom", there was a miserable howl inside the fort, and the pirates immediately swarmed over and shot them in a row, and there was no sound inside.

Several pirates signaled to the ship and began to garrison here, and the other pirates immediately went to the next stronghold.

In this way, layer by layer was like poking onions. After half an hour, the defense facilities of the entire port were completely occupied by pirates.

"Come on, put these gun mounts down."

A small gantry crane on the pirate ship and a cart with a 6-pound gun were hoisted to the trestle in the port, and pushed onto the port one by one by the pirates.

Regrouped into teams of 50 people each, and began to push the cannon carriages towards the city lord's mansion, warehouses and other important facilities.

It looked like they were going to loot the entire Port Colony town.

Although the guards of the city lord's mansion and warehouse had already raised white flags, the cruel pirates had no intention of stopping. They still blasted open the gate with cannons and killed everyone inside.
