Fidel Guevara, Richard Fitzpatrick, Nicholas Semino and O'Hara are all stupid!Can't understand what Wang Wen is saying at all?Although Wang Wen's English is very standard, with a standard Oxford accent, he can speak in the British Parliament, and the four Florida "revolutionaries" can understand every word he utters.But together, you don't know what it is at all?

"Excuse me." Fidel Guevara asked in a low voice.

"My name is Wang Wen, and I am the Captain of the Ming Navy!"

"Colonel Wang," Guevara introduced himself, "I am Father Fidel Guevara of the Golden Beach Catholic Church in Florida. What did you just say about the "Emancipation of Black Slaves and Indians Proclamation"? What does that mean?"

Wang Wen looked at Father Fidel Guevara and said, "Father, you don't understand what it means to liberate black slaves and Indians?" He looked at Nicholas Semino and O'Hara again, "You two are one One is an Indian, one is a black slave, you must want to live in Florida as equal, free, and happy as the white people, and become the masters of a free and progressive Florida?"

"No, no, I'm not a black slave," O'Hara shook his head hastily, "I'm actually a free black man, and I've redeemed myself through my labor income."

"Redemption?" Wang Wen glanced at him, "Then how did you become a slave?"

"I am. I can't remember clearly. It seems that I was arrested when I was a child, and then sold to Mr. Fitzpatrick's father, who was a benevolent slave owner."

"Fitzpatrick? Richard Fitzpatrick?" Wang Wen looked at the chubby businessman.

"It's me, I'm Richard Fitzpatrick."

Wang Wen asked, "Are you the original owner of this old black slave?"

"Yes, I am." Richard Fitzpatrick laughed. "Old O'Hara was a very hardworking black slave. He was always the first to start labor and the last to finish. He worked hard, so he can redeem himself."

Wang Wen nodded, his tone suddenly sank: "Richard, listening to you, why do I think you are in favor of slavery?"

"No, no." Richard Fitzpatrick immediately responded, "I am against slavery. Really, I was forced to become a slave owner!"

"Can this be forced?" Wang Wen glared at him.

"Colonel, he was really, really forced." O'Hara hurriedly spoke for his old master.

Wang Wen glanced at him, and then said to a Ming naval officer beside him: "Give the declaration to the master and servant, and let them sign it to prove yourself!" Senomi said: "You two must be opposed to killing Indians and enslaving blacks, right? You should also sign the declaration! Sign it, and I will take you to meet the emperor of Mexico and the admiral of the Ming Pacific Fleet!"

Texas, Texas Bay.

1832 4 Month 18 Day.

Today is the day of the triumphant return of the Mexico-Texas combined fleet!
And on the wharf of the Dezhou Bay Military Port, there was a mixed atmosphere of joy and sorrow, all of them were Japanese devils!
For them, the second Atlantic battle was a complete victory. Although the second Atlantic battle was very fierce, the flagships of both sides were all sunk. The US coach David Porter died in battle. Admiral Guerrero, his coach, almost drowned in the Atlantic Ocean.But Dezhou Haizi's six capital ships, Akagi, Kaga, Ruihe, Xianghe, Canglong, and Feilong, were all safe and sound. It can be said that not even a piece of paint was scratched off, and even a single screw was intact.As for the eight outdated armored destroyers in the Dezhou Sea, although they were somewhat hit by shells, their targets were too small to be beaten by American battleships and armored cruisers. Wait for the cruiser to fire at them.But afraid of eating torpedoes, those second-class and third-class cruisers did not dare to approach and fight. They were fighting blindly at a distance of more than 10000 meters, and they didn't hit a few shots from beginning to end.When the Americans launched a desperate charge, Wang Wen had already led 10 warrior-class second-class cruisers to kill them. The 6500-ton big guy was rampaging on the battlefield. Who would have trouble with the 3000-ton Guogong class?
So not many Japanese devils in Texas died in this battle, so at the moment the wharf is full of family members and land officers and soldiers shouting welcome slogans hoarsely. They were all from the shogunate army, and there was no such thing as fighting over the budget—their budget was decided by Daming's father, and it was useless to fight.

But when all the devils in Texas were happy, Emperor Agustin, his Mexican courtiers, and officers and soldiers of the Royal Mexican Guards were not happy at all.

Because the Mexicans, to be precise, the native whites of Mexico lost too much in this Atlantic naval battle. The only two battleships were sunk and one wasted. Among them, the Bolivar was hit by a US-class 12-inch shell at close range. There was a big explosion in the ammunition depot, and then it sank quickly. Even the fleet commander, Admiral Guerrero, almost didn't escape!Of the 761 people on the battleship, only 68 survived!
The situation of the Agustin I was not much better. Although it did not sink, it was extremely damaged because of too many bullets. Four of the six main gun turrets were destroyed. destroy.The ammunition depots at the bow and stern of the ship were flooded urgently due to the fire caused by the explosion of the turret above.The bridge and the conning tower were also hit by 6-inch shells many times, and the bridge personnel suffered heavy losses. Although the personnel in the conning tower survived, everyone suffered.According to post-war statistics, among the 4 people on the ship, 12 were killed or seriously injured.Although the Agustin itself has not sunk, it has completely lost the possibility of repairing—Mexico cannot repair it at all, and it is impossible to drag it to Daming, which is more than 741 nautical miles!How did this wreck get here?
In addition, the two hero-class armored cruisers of the Royal Mexican Navy are also finished!The Cortez was hit by eighteen rounds, the whole ship was on fire, lost power, and the captain had to order to abandon the ship.The Pizarro was also severely damaged in the melee, hit by two air-compression torpedoes fired at close range, and sank in the icy Atlantic Ocean.And the number of officers and soldiers of the Royal Mexican Navy who followed these two warships to rest at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean exceeded 400!
In other words, in the Second Atlantic Battle, the Royal Mexican Navy actually lost two battleships and two armored cruisers, and the loss of personnel, including the attrition of those light ships that returned safely, also reached more than 2000 people .

Although Americans lost three times as much as Mexicans, the population of native whites in Mexico was only one-tenth that of white Americans!

The industrial strength of the United States is at least thirty times that of Mexico!
Therefore, the victory of the Second Battle of the Atlantic was an out-and-out tragic victory for the native whites of the Mexican Empire.

And even with this level of tragic victory, it may be difficult for them to fight again in the next few years. Because the Royal Mexican Navy and the US Navy have to take a breather, and even the Texas Navy will be defeated by the Ming faction. The elite HNA pilots who came here were transferred away and lost their spirit.

At the same time, the two land battles in Texas and Florida will soon be fought.The Americans who suffered a blood loss in the naval battle will definitely find their place on land next.

And the war on land cannot be won by a few carrier-based aircraft pilots. It is a battle of hundreds of thousands of people!

And the 10-fold numerical advantage of American whites over native whites in Mexico may cause Mexico to fight to the last white.
Thinking of the last white Mexican, Mexican Emperor Agustin I trembled and came out of his thoughts.After returning to my thoughts, I suddenly heard people around Mexico shouting slogans: "Long live free Florida! Down with America, abolish slavery, and protect Indians."

He quickly looked up, only to find that the new flagship of the Royal Mexican Navy, the "Don Agustin", had already docked. His naval commander, Admiral Guerrero, was accompanying a bearded white priest and a man wearing an old Spanish military uniform. Indian man and an old negro in a tuxedo and a bowler hat stepped off the Don Agustin together
