In the Atlantic, a fleet is sailing at sea. This fleet is the Spanish fleet that Major General Samplin is looking for, and the American people are gnashing their teeth.

Instead of continuing northward to attack Boston, as Major General Sampling had thought, they sailed southward off the sea after completing the attack on New York.

On the flagship Empress Isabel (Turin), Lieutenant General Sedra was chatting with Colonel Leifer.

"Has the power system of the Princess Christina (Palermo) been repaired?"

"Captain Anthony telegraphed to me an hour ago that the power system has been repaired, but the two damaged boilers cannot be used, and we can only go to the shipyard to solve the problem. And we also need to consider whether the shipyard has the same model. The boilers, that's a big problem. Without two boilers, the Princess Christina can only go up to 16.8 knots, which is a problem."

Colonel Leifer's words made Lieutenant General Sedra's face not very good. The news is really bad, it seems that this shelling of New York is too expensive.

How can the price be small? In addition to the one hit on the power system of the Princess Christina, the Isabel II (Barry) was destroyed with two 152mm secondary guns, and even Isabel The Empress was hit several times, losing a transport boat and a 76mm gun.

And this time, the damage caused by the shelling is not over, and the destroyer USS Molina, also because of preventing the raid of the U.S. Navy torpedo boat, was hit by a 280mm shell in the power compartment, and then sank by focusing fire. .

At the cost of such large losses, their result was that the three Turin-class ships fired a total of 184 356mm shells and 461 152mm shells at New York City. If it weren't for the fact that the New York Coast Guard had sent ships to lay mines, in fact, they could have fired more. But for the sake of safety, the three precious battleships were quickly withdrawn.

And the shelling of New York this time also poured cold water on all the officers and soldiers of the fleet who were hot-headed.

Considering that the current fleet's ammunition consumption is relatively large, coupled with the loss of the fleet, the plan to continue the attack was canceled, but returned ahead of schedule.

Their destination, of course, is Bermuda with that hospitable Governor, and hopefully there's Scottish white coal not yet for sale. Of course, it would be nice to have the same boiler as the Turin class, but don't expect too much from this.

...

Bermuda is a warm place, and although the career here is not bright enough, it is better than comfort.

Governor Oakes just thinks that Bermuda is suitable for old age, not suitable for ambitious people like himself.

"Major Jeffrey, how about a drink?"

On the side of the pier, Governor Oakes is welcoming a British Imperial Navy officer warmly.

"No, thank you very much, Your Excellency Governor Ox, my job is to record the supplies shipped to naval bases all over the Americas, I don't know why I deserve such enthusiasm as your Lord Governor, but your enthusiasm makes I'm a little uneasy."

In the face of Major Jeffrey, who seems to be a bit insufferable, Governor Oakes does not believe that no one will not be bought unless the price is not enough.

"Major Jeffrey, actually I didn't expect that the proposal to invite you for a drink would make you think so much. In fact, I'm just a little busy to ask your Excellency to help, it will not only promote our friendship, but also improve your boss's relationship with you. Your opinion. I know you've been in this position for almost five years, don't you want to go to a more advanced position?"

Governor Oakes' words made Major Jeffrey stop recording and look at the Governor of Bermuda.

"Jeffrey, I think you should have a big picture. For example, at some point, you can do things that are inconvenient for high-level people to do. Believe me, it seems a bit extreme, but you will never regret it."

"So that's why you sold the 3,000 tons of Scottish white coal you had in your base?"

In the face of Major Jeffrey, who seemed to have no reaction at all, Governor Oakes showed an indifferent expression. "Yes, I was indeed deceived. I sold these three thousand tons of white coal to the Spanish fleet, causing the United States to suffer huge losses. I heard that even New York was bombarded, but so what?"

Governor Oaks said this, and squeezed out a little sad expression. "So in order to appease the mood in America, the gentlemen of London removed me from my retirement position in this isolated island. Believe it or not, in just two months, London will transfer me to India to be a commissioner somewhere, for the same reason. Do you believe it?"

Although Governor Oakes said something absurd and uninhibited, Major Jeffrey knew that what he said was very likely. This is because the British Empire cares about the United States, as any British political official knows.

Seeing that Major Jeffrey's expression softened a little, Governor Oakes hit the railroad in the heat. "Have you always wanted to stay in this logistical position, and do not want to be the commander of a squadron and command the all-powerful battleship?"

The words of Governor Oakes said that Major Jeffrey was in his heart. Who doesn't want to be a fleet commander, commanding warships to defend the interests of the British Empire.

"You mean, as long as I don't say that you sold 3,000 tons of base military coal?"

"No, the three thousand tons of coal sold to the Spanish fleet is my credit, and it's useless if you don't say it. You need to make your own credit for the London gentlemen to see, don't think about rubbing against me, and What you want is actually very simple."

With such a clear indication, it would be too much for Major Jeffrey to not understand.

"At present, there are more than 9,000 tons of military Scottish white coal in the two supply ships, and I can leave 6,000 tons here."

Major Jeffrey was really generous, and he left 6,000 tons directly.

"This is a wise decision." While the two were talking, someone from the watchtower shouted when the alarm bell rang. "There's a fleet coming with the Spanish flag."

This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

I saw Governor Oaks turned to Major Jeffrey Road. "It seems that you have even saved the work of carrying."

After a while, the dusty Spanish fleet poured into the port.

And Governor Ox waited for Lieutenant General Sedra and others to disembark after a while. "Your Excellency Lieutenant General Sedra, I reiterate the neutrality rules of the British Bermuda Islands. For the war between your country and the United States, we strictly abide by neutrality, so I also ask your fleet to leave after three days."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Governor Oakes, our fleet will never undermine your country's neutrality. I just wanted to ask, does Bob Dylan Trading Co. still sell coal?"

"Lieutenant General Sedra, you're here by coincidence. Bob Dylan Trading Company has just purchased 6,000 tons of Scottish white coal."

Lieutenant General Sedra was very satisfied to hear that there was white coal for sale, but of course he needed help with one more thing.

"Bob Dylan Trading is great, I'll buy the coal at the old price. Also, I have a nice request to ask your Excellency if you know of any N-3 heavy duty boilers from Mansa. ?"

"Mansa's N-3 heavy duty boiler?"

Regarding this demand of Lieutenant General Sedra~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Governor Ox really does not know where it is, because he has basically never heard of this boiler, and he is the Governor of Bermuda. Hobbies, otherwise how would you know about boilers?

"Yes, if you know where it is, let us know and we'd be very grateful."

In the expectant eyes of Lieutenant General Sedra and others, the supernatural governor of Ox shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know this boiler, maybe I can ask someone to help you, maybe there is one on that boat."

In the face of Governor Ox's answer, Lieutenant General Sedra and others concealed their disappointment. This boiler is basically not available on civilian ships. This is a military boiler.

At this time, Major Jeffrey, who had been watching the play for a long time, suddenly spoke up. "I can actually answer this question for you."

Faced with the words of Major Jeffrey, Colonel Leifer, who had rekindled hope, hurriedly asked. "Mr. Major, do you know where this boiler is?"

Major Jeffrey responded promptly to Colonel Leifer's question. "Yes, this boiler is a military boiler introduced by Mansa ten years ago, and I happen to have this boiler on a ship. Also, my name is Jeffrey, Alperon Jeffrey."

"Major Jeffrey, if you can sell us two of these boilers, we will pay you a full fee."

"No problem, the boiler and coal are on board."

"Which ship?"

"It's the Kingfisher transport ship."

Under the guidance of Major Jeffrey, the Kingfisher transport ship docked at the dock was so conspicuous, and even more conspicuous was the St. George flag of the Royal Navy of the British Empire above.
