When the storm in the dry dock subsided, the battleships stabilized. People quickly organized rescue and found two workers who fell into the water, one dead and the other injured!

The dead were unlucky to be encountered by the "Holy Virgin of Guadalup". Although it was wood, it was extremely hard and the person was killed in a moment, which indirectly proved that the Spanish artificial battleship was solid enough.

"The Virgin of Guadalup" was sarcastic that this battleship was so powerful that it killed a person as soon as it got out of the water.

Who is it?

Your own person!

The hull of the "Holy Virgin of Guadalup" is fine, although it collided with the dry dock, and only had some scratches.

After inspection, it turned out that the water inlet gate of the dry dock had been disrepaired for a long time and failed as soon as it was opened. It could not control the slowly injected sea water, causing the sea water to rush in, causing an accident.

This is a strong ominous sign. King Felipe IV was so angry that his face turned pale, his eyes were blazing, and he wanted to devour people. Everyone around him was silent.

The seal-master Don Van Denbrook said at the right time: "Your Majesty, this battleship can't wait to go into the sea to attack the pagans!"

Felipe IV turned anger into joy and ordered his left and right to say, "Since that's the case, then as it wishes, quickly equip it with cannons and crew members and let it go to sea!"

He did not pursue the matter, and the storm subsided, causing everyone to sweat.

Finally, the ceremony continued and the battleship went out to sea smoothly!

The respected Marquis Don Marco Asensio, the Marquis of the Military Affairs Office, found an opportunity, walked to Don Vandenbrook and said sincerely: "Sir, thank you for your time. Let's have a drink!"

"This is my honor, sir!" Don Vandenbrook bowed.

For a long time, people thought that he was ignorant and could only flatter the king. As the minister in charge of the seal, the absurd thing this minister once did was to lend the seal to a noble lady and let her use it as a cake mold to treat her to a pie.

Such a cake mold is unique, and Mrs. Gui is very popular.

The nobles were naturally very annoyed that he used the national treasure as a joke and impeached him one after another. The king punished him without any pain at most.

But today Don Van Denbrook is impressive, and because of his words, he saves the crisis of how many people present!

So everyone has their uses, even people like Don Van Denbrookling.

The entry of the "Holy Virgin of Guadalup" has greatly increased the strength of the Spanish Navy. In addition to the seven first-class battleships mentioned, the Spanish also had the "Saint Felipe" class second-class battleship, with 90 guns and a total of eight, as well as the new third-class battleship "Santiago" class battleship. This class has 76 guns, a total of 25, and 30 have mixed equipment and different models of third-class battleships (more than 50 guns). The total number of battleships has reached 70!

This is a battleship built by the Spanish with all their national strength. Since the destruction of the Invincible Armada in the last century, the Spanish have regrouped and looked quite powerful, making the Spanish extremely proud!

In addition, the Spanish army was also ready for battle. They were ready to give a fatal blow to the pagans from the East!

As the Spanish Army, which has been baptized by the thirty years of war, is not weak. The so-called thirty years of war is a confrontation between the white-skinned Protestant countries in Europe and the Catholic countries. Among them, the Spaniards participated in various wars in an unremitting battle. The more they lost, the fewer they won, but they also trained the army and were a battle-capable army!

The Nanyuan of the Royal Family in Madrid is the king's private territory, with large plains where Felipe IV inspected his army.

Tens of thousands of elite troops were carrying flintlock rifles and walked past the king with a refreshing spirit. The guns stabbed the sun and the cold light shone.

War is the best catalyst. This army's flintlock rifle is not counted. The equipment rate of its rifled rifle reached an astonishing 30%, which is the same as the South China Army. Some rifled rifle are even equipped with aiming barrels!

The South China Army attacked the Ottoman Empire and gave a lesson in a solid manner. They also equipped their troops with the weapons of the South China Army.

There are also 6 pounds, 12 pounds and a maximum 18 pounds of marching cannon. They are well-equipped and look quite difficult to mess with.

Such troops are called new troops, with a total of 100,000 people in Spain, which is quite sharp for countries like Spain.

In addition to them, there are also a large number of guards in Spain, equipped with rifled guns, smoothbore guns and grenades, as well as big swords and bows. Many Spanish men also use weapons. Once called, they can be used as long as they are sent to the weapon.

Since the Secretary of Finance Don Rodrigober received a lot of military expenditure, Spain's military factories are now working at full capacity to produce weapons. The Minister of Military Affairs Marquis Don Marco said that he planned to equip another 200,000 new troops and had full confidence to defeat any enemy.

"At present, we have trained 100,000 new troops. They are rushing to train. As long as they give me a month, they can send them to any battlefield and deal with any enemy!" Marquis Don Marco boasted.

Hearing the king and his ministers smiled slightly, it seemed that they had defeated the pagans in the East.

While speeding up the preparations for the war in China, Felipe IV sent several ministers to Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain, France and other countries to lobby, persuading everyone to establish an alliance and jointly deal with any foreign enemy who dares to covet Europe. This is for the "European alliance!"

The young Marquis Don Gareth Aro worked hard and quickly rode from Madrid to Ferro on the Atlantic Ocean, where he took a fast boat to lobby Protestant countries such as the Netherlands and Britain. The other old ministers didn't want to go, and they also knew that the king wanted to give him a chance to make meritorious service, so they naturally would not compete with him.

"The pagans from the East defeated the Turks. I dare say that their next target is the European continent. If we do not unite, we will be defeated by them. Europe will be trapped in blood and fire. The Europeans will become their slaves. Religion will be banned by them. They will plunder our wealth and our women!" Marquis Don Gareth Aro talked endlessly for thirty minutes in front of one hundred and thirty-six members of the Dutch Provincial Parliament!

He shouted loudly: "The pagans from the East are the enemy of the white world. Only when we unite and establish a 'European alliance' can we deal with them and reproduce the victory of Lebanto over the Turks in the last century!"

He successfully aroused the Dutch's anger with the enemy. After all, among the Europeans, the Dutch was the one who was bullied by the Chinese the most.

The Chinese robbed the Netherlands of Southeast Asia. Now the foundation of South China's founding country is Southeast Asia. They completely occupied the Spice Islands and drove the Netherlands from the lucrative Asian region to Africa. It was very painful!

So whenever possible, the Dutch will join the alliance against the Chinese, hoping to avenge a single arrow.

After the United Provinces of the Netherlands, Marquis Don Gareth Arrow arrived in Britain and persuaded Britain to join the European Union, but King Charles II of Britain seemed unwilling to join the war.
