Since the Spanish invincible fleet arrived at the port of Dunkirk in the Spanish Netherlands, the situation in Northern Europe has become increasingly tense. Denmark and Sweden have sent tens of thousands of troops to the Netherlands. The British navy has also begun to cruise in the Nordic waters and is ready to support the Netherlands at any time. The Netherlands has even assembled various warships to prepare for the Spanish attack. A war is about to begin.

At the beginning, the Spanish Navy and Army were indeed advancing towards the Netherlands, but halfway through and before they could exchange fire with any army, they actually withdrew from the port of Dunkirk. Such a strange behavior was really confusing.

Dunkirk Port is still a certain distance from the Dover Strait. As long as the Spanish Invincible Fleet does not leave the port, it will not threaten the ships passing through the Dover Strait. Therefore, the great powers were just careful and prepared in full swing to set up a trap for the Spanish Invincible Fleet in the North Sea, so that they could defeat Philip IV's last hope in one fell swoop, and make him surrender.

But this time Spain changed its previous proactive style and became a turtle that shrank in Dunkirk Port and did not come out, which completely shattered the glasses of the anti-Habsburg powers.

At the end of the twelfth lunar calendar in the Ming Empire, there was finally some movement in the Dunkirk Port. However, it was not the Spanish Invincible Fleet that came out, but a huge Ming Empire Fleet that came in!

This scared the great powers of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance. Is the Ming Empire going to participate in the war?

Of course, the North Sea Fleet was not here to participate in the war. They were just ordered to build a legion to bring the bunkers to Nordic Europe. If the great powers did not provoke them on their own initiative, they would not pay any attention to the great powers.

The arrival of the North Sea Fleet made Spanish Admiral Okundo very happy. To be honest, if he was asked to take the Invincible Fleet to the vast North Sea to find the anti-Habsburg Alliance fleet, he would feel a little distressed. You should know that the first five Invincible Fleets in Spain were all like they were in evil and all encountered sea storms. He didn't want to be the sixth unlucky person.

He agreed with the defense and blockade strategies proposed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Allied Kingdom, and waited for the attack of the great powers, and there were more than ten bastions to support it. This battle was simply too easy. He was 100% sure to defeat the joint fleet of the anti-Habsburg Alliance!

He even asked Philip IV to name this joint sea and land defense line, called "Northern Iron Chain", which means that the anti-Habsburg Alliance powers were locked in Nordic Europe and could not move. It can be seen that he had high expectations for this defense line. Of course, there is a prerequisite for truly using the Nordic chain to lock the anti-Habsburg Alliance powers in Nordic Europe. This prerequisite is that the twelve bastions promised by the Ming Empire can really be built quickly.

Now that the fleet of the Ming Empire finally arrived as scheduled, how could he not be overjoyed? For this reason, he specially assembled 40,000 Spanish and Portugal troops in the port, lined up neatly phalanxes, holding welcome banners written in Chinese characters by students from the Ming Academy, and presented a grand welcome ceremony.

Yang Geng didn't expect that he could see so many Chinese-character welcome banners in the continental region. He took hundreds of personal guards to get off the ship and exchanged greetings with General Okundo for a while, and then ordered the entire construction army to get off the ship and prepare.

The Ming Empire is awesome. Even the workers who built battalions were unified in formal clothing, and even their equipment was unified. Of course, they did not carry muskets, but shovels and shovels. Each square array was in a unified format. The formation looked even more neat than the Spanish Army's square array. They also pushed many identical carts, but not cannon trucks, but simple flatbed trucks with iron bars, wooden boards, paper bags and so on. I don't know what to use for.

The construction army had a total of 100,000 people and so many supplies. It was naturally not a matter of time to get off the ship. At this time, Yang Geng was not idle either. He directly brought eight experts to build a battalion and invited Okundo to a nearby hill bag.

Okundo didn't know what they were going to do, but the eight experts who built the bastion took out their telescopes from their arms and glanced around. Not long after, they gathered together and discussed in a low voice. Soon, one of them respectfully stepped forward and pointed at the four hills and reported to Yang Geng.

After listening to the report carefully, Yang Geng asked directly in Spanish: "General, how about the sacred building in the sacred building everywhere?"

Okundo looked roughly in the direction Yang Geng pointed, and the location was good. The two were close to the sea and the two were close to the inland, which just surrounded Dunkirk Harbor in the middle. But he didn't know whether the distance was suitable. The artillery had range and the construction distance was not suitable, so it could not support each other, and that would not be able to stop the 200,000 army.

He hesitated a little and said, "Why don't we measure the distance first, this eye can't measure the exact distance."

When Yang Geng heard this, he smiled. He directly passed the telescope from the person who reported that he had to pass the telescope and stuffed it into Okundo's hand, and introduced: "There is a scale on this telescope. They have measured the distance, so there is absolutely no problem."

Okundo raised his telescope curiously and looked into the distance. There were indeed two cross-crossing scales in the lens. However, how can the distance between the sights be far and near?

This is a little secret of the Ming army. Yang Geng naturally would not explain it to him, so he let them think about it slowly. Seeing that Okundo had no disagreement, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Business starts!"

Upon hearing this, the eight experts immediately stepped down the mountain bag, came to the square formation of the Construction Legion, and gave some guidance. Soon, the 100,000 people from the Construction Legion were divided into four pieces, led by two experts to move to the designated location.

Okundo looked at all this in a daze. This is too efficient. Are they planning to build a castle immediately?

He was really guessed correctly. After the construction army arrived at the designated mountain bag, they opened it directly, such as digging soil, looking for stones, carrying sand, carrying water, tree plywood, building steel bars, mixing cement, and having clear division of labor and orderly manner. They looked as skilled as farmers farming!

Seeing that Ao Kunduo was standing there in a daze, Yang Geng couldn't help but step forward and reminded him kindly: "General, thank you for your warm welcome. Can the troops below invite them back to the camp?"

Upon hearing this, Okundo came to his senses and said directly to the guard behind him: "Order, everyone will conquer the team and return to the camp."

The personal guard went to send an order, but he stood there motionless, looking at the four construction sites with a telescope curiously.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly realized a problem. These people did not collect stones!

He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Doesn't you need stones to repair a battalion?"

When Yang Geng heard this, he said proudly: "Our Emperor of the Ming Empire invented a magical building material called reinforced concrete, which is harder than ordinary rocks. We don't use stones to build a battalion at all!"

There is such a thing in the world! Okundo simply doesn't believe his ears anymore, and he murmured: "No stones, can they be repaired in those days?"

Yang Geng replied without hesitation: "Five days!"

"Five days!" Okundo's eyes were almost glaring. How could it be possible to build four bastions in five days?
