1717 New American Empire

All of this begins five hundred years ago. At that time, it was still the dark Middle Ages, and the Holy See was unparalleled in Europe. The power of the Papal Guards was top-notch in the entire Europe, plus the Knights Templar.

, and there are all kinds of fanatical believers who have been brainwashed by religious concepts. Their military strength alone is unmatched by any kingdom. Moreover, if there is a war with the church, the low-level sergeants who have been brainwashed will have no morale at all, and even directly

defect.

Relying on this kind of power, the church has taken away a terrible amount of property. The predecessors of scientific research workers, alchemists, were defined as heretics by them, and if caught, they would be executed. There were also countless innocent women who were slandered as witches by the church and tortured.

Burned alive. At that time, an ascetic monk from the church discovered this terrible darkness and had serious doubts about his faith. Once he was sent on a mission by the church to eliminate a so-called witch.

As a result, people found that she was just an ordinary girl. She was beautiful, kind, and loved by everyone. Even the ascetic monks fell in love with her, not the kind of love between men and women, but the love of elders for cute younger ones.

The ascetic monk knew that something was wrong, and began to investigate on his own without anyone from the Holy See. It turned out that it was the girl who rejected the courtship of the Archbishop here, which led to the murder. The Archbishop seemed to have a good background, and was the illegitimate son of a big shot in the Holy See.

The girl's father is not a good person either. Although he is only a knight, he is a relative of the Duke. The archbishop did not dare to rob him by force, so he could only rely on this method to issue an assassination order to remove the scars on his heart. But the ascetic monks also knew that this was not bad.

Girl, you said you are a monk, or four

You are over ten years old, with a big belly and the look of a pig. Why should a girl in her prime fall in love with you? This kind of bastard is the person he hates the most. But he still doesn’t know what he wants and actually forces the ascetic monk to do it again and again.

There were even threats and all kinds of bad words.

The ascetic was angry and missed, and killed the archbishop directly. After that, the ascetic knew that something had happened. After thinking about it, he took away the archbishop's belongings and started his escape. Unexpectedly, there was something very strange in it.

The thing is something that the Holy See must obtain. The Archbishop accidentally discovered it during a field trip. He just reported it and was taken away by the ascetic monks before the Templars came to protect him.

The ascetic monk took advantage of the fact that the person who was chasing him did not show up, and escaped without a trace overnight. With the money, he returned to secular life, started doing business, married a wife and had children. And the item was also discovered by the ascetic monk. Although

I don’t know what he is, but the appearance of this round ball is full of

It is full of Catholic religious atmosphere. Any believer will feel that this is a real artifact. In order to commemorate his past, and to cover up and prevent being discovered by the church, he hid the ball in the basement of his home.

It has not been opened for decades.

Unexpectedly, due to fate, the descendants of the descendants actually embarked on the path of studying the secrets of heaven and earth, and became a heretic in the mouth of the church. In order to protect like-minded people, and at the same time to have a place to conduct his own experiments and research, the great-grandson of the ascetic monk appeared and

opened

This basement. No matter what they say, they are all people who explore the secrets of the world. How could they let the ball go without exploring it. However, with the methods at the time, it was impossible to unlock its secrets. Long-term research has no results, the ball

It was locked up for the time being.

Later, the church came and the researchers made an emergency transfer. In order to prevent this magical thing from falling into the hands of the church, they tried their best to hide it. When the limelight passed, they locked it in a special

The inside of the combination lock box was also beautified so that people would not pay too much attention to it at first sight. Later, the Free Assassin Alliance was established, and this box was handed over to the Free Assassin Alliance for safekeeping. Unexpectedly, the church later

They launched a massive siege and killed many people.

Everyone who knew about this item failed to survive the hunt. Later, it was brought to the North American continent by Alexei's predecessors. The number of members of the Free Assassin Alliance was getting smaller and smaller. It would be good to be able to keep these things. Why?

Maybe to explore what these things are. When he went to Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin took care of him, and all the things he thought were valuable had been taken away. The rest, Xiao Lin kept as antiques, etc.

It is good for future generations to study past developments.

Alexey and the others are helping Xiao Lin train agents and spies every day, and there is no time to organize them. Usually, it is a few old men hired by the company to take care of the maintenance. If it were not for this storage room,

Next to the Secret Service Academy, anyone can sneak in due to the extremely lax defenses. That’s why the Templars felt there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. As long as Xiao Lin transferred all the elite troops to the front line to fight against the British team, they

You can easily sneak in, get the items and leave.

Therefore, they must eliminate all the surrender mentality of nobles like Lin Man. Under the pressure from both the people and the locals, these nobles cannot blatantly surrender to Yanhuang Trading Company even if they no longer want to fight. Only by fighting will they have a chance.

For the Templars who came from the church, it was very easy to inspire people. Relying on money and brainwashing staff, the Templars spent half a month and pushed the boat along, and finally aroused public opinion.

Their strategy is indeed more effective. Now the three Earls Linman are no longer thinking about surrendering to the company. The three Earls did not want to succumb to others and surrendered to the company. It was more of a choice out of desperation. If it were not for the formality

No matter how hard it is, they won't have such an idea. Looking at the current situation, if they really want to take refuge in the company, the people below will start to make trouble first. Even if the riots can be suppressed by then, they will have an image of incompetence in the eyes of the company, and they will take refuge in the company.

In the past, most people couldn't get a good position.

The Templars still have their next move, and this idea must be extended to the private army. At that time, as long as Lin Man and the others have the slightest thought of surrender, they will be ignored by the private army, or even arrested. For the Temple

Neither Xiao Lin nor Lin Man knew about the knight's plan. Lin Man's men searched for more than ten days in a row, but still couldn't get any clues. The long-term private army manhunt even affected the business and agricultural operations of Boston. In order to calm people's hearts,

, Lin Man could only stop the manhunt.

Xiao Lin's spies are now basically scattered on the British territory. The people in Boston were temporarily out for a mission before the fluctuation began. When they came back, they checked with the private army, but no clues were found.

Xiao Lin only knew that the British were beginning to have an anti-company trend. For the first time, the company's products were rarely available in their territory. To be honest, Xiao Lin really didn't like this now.

Point to the British.

All the British people who can really join the company have already joined the company. The borders on both sides are not closed. Since these people cannot come over, it means that they are not interested in the life of the company. After taking over the territory of the French, Yanhuang

In the trading company, the number of white people has exceeded that of Indians, not to mention the Asians who can only be transported by Ijik's fleet. Ijik began to be busy with the fleet, and the source of Asians was also cut off. The number of white people was too high

Too much is not a good thing.

As leaders, Xiao Lin and others are not white. If there are too many white people, there will be dissent. If the company's reputation had not spread throughout the North American continent, and many Indian tribes began to defect to themselves, Xiao Lin might have let him

The police force and the newly-established National Security Bureau began to enter a state of emergency alert. Since the British were unwilling to join the company and the peaceful annexation of the British North American colonies was no longer possible, Xiao Lin began to actively prepare for war.

The arsenal was working at full capacity. Bullets and artillery shells came off the production line, were packed into boxes, and then escorted to the front line by tank troops. Apache led everyone to start planning to build an arms warehouse as a logistical support for future wars. The entire warehouse,

The Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion is responsible for guarding it. It is impossible for the British to sneak in and destroy it. The militia division has also begun to enter an intense and high-intensity training period. When the war begins, they will still have to guard the rear.

The final burden was placed on Ijik's naval fleet. After five consecutive months of intense training, they were finally able to launch the O37 submarine hunting ship and O24 missile speedboat. Even the artillery shooting training was still a little behind, still at about three thousand meters.

Not much accuracy

, they really couldn’t figure out the fire control system. The company was already able to produce the diesel fuel needed by the two ships. Xiao Lin bought a set of backward oil production and refining equipment from Huaguo Petroleum Group early, and after cleaning up the resistance to the company

After the tribal alliance, construction has already begun.

Rich oil deposits were found where the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance used to be. Although the output was not large, it was enough for ten small boats. The largest caliber of the artillery on the two ships was only 57mm, and the cannonballs were made by the company.

It has nothing to do with it. At the same time, of the original ten ships under Ijik, only the frigate has not been completely refitted. All front-mounted guns have been removed, the deck has been pushed down, and steam engines and steel plates have been installed in the gun cabins.

The battleship is equipped with a fire-breathing turret, three direct-fire defense 6mm mortar turrets, and one turret with three mortars. Of course, there are also five 75mm-caliber artillery turrets. Although the specifications are not up to those of regular naval guns.

Several times, but it is also a newly developed direct-fire artillery, and each fort has two guns. The number of guns on a cruiser is only about two-fifths of that of a battleship.
