Chapter 3050
The Wang brothers have repeatedly studied the map on the way, but when they actually arrived in San Diego Bay, they still couldn't help but be shocked by the uncanny workmanship of nature.
According to the sign on the map, the west side of the entrance and exit of the strait is Cape Loma, which is named after the local owner, the Loma tribe.The headland inserts into the Pacific Ocean from north to south, blocking most of the turbulent waves for San Diego Bay.
The opposite eastern sandbar is controlled by the Spaniards.The village on the sandbank is one of its two colonial settlements.
The sea surface between Cape Loma and the sandbar is like a half circle, from south to north and then east, extending into the depths of the bay in a beautiful arc.
On the northern coast of this half circle, there is another settlement of the Spaniards on a slightly larger scale.The two settlements are located on the north and south sides of the bay, forming a pincer shape. This is the narrowest section of water in the bay, with a width of only about two miles.
After passing through here, go to the depths of the bay, and the sea suddenly becomes clear again, turning all the way to the southeast.This section is twenty miles long, and the arc-shaped bay surrounded by the mainland coastline and coastal sandbars is the real main part of San Diego Bay.
The deepest part of the bay belongs to another powerful local indigenous tribe, the Chula tribe.
In the perception of the two brothers, there are very few natural bays with such superior natural conditions.Whether it is building a commercial port or a military base, this is an excellent choice.
No wonder the Spaniards managed to build two settlements in San Diego Bay, even though they didn't have enough resources to develop the place, to claim ownership of the place.
Of course, this game may serve as a warning to Spain’s European competitors, but neither the local aborigines nor the tough Haihan will obviously approve of the Spaniard’s wishful thinking.
There is a buffer zone about ten miles wide between the area controlled by the Spaniards and the territory of the Chula tribe deep in the bay.The terrain of this coast is very flat, and it is relatively easy to develop, but the Spaniards who have already occupied a key position in the bay obviously have no more spare power to occupy this place.
But Tom Wang boldly chose this location as Haihan's foothold in San Diego Bay.
At first glance, this location is not ideal, not to mention being sandwiched between the Spaniards and the indigenous tribes. Ships entering and leaving the bay have to pass through the narrow waters controlled by Spain. So the pockets were tied up, and entry and exit would be blocked.
But in fact, Wang Tom is sure that the Spanish armed forces in San Diego Bay are extremely weak, and they do not have the ability to block the waterway in the bay.Although these two colonial settlements are equipped with some weapons, they are only able to deal with the indigenous armed forces, but they cannot fight against the Haihan Army.
Of course, if the Spaniard wants to take the risk, Wang Tom will not be afraid, because this may be one of his goals.If the Spaniards dare to take the initiative to go to war, then Wang Tom will have a good reason to expand the armed conflict into a war, and then it will be the real headache for the other party.
On the way to their destination in San Diego Bay, the two brothers kept observing the coastal conditions with binoculars.The buildings built by the Spaniards near the coast can be seen through the telescope.
"Brother, why don't you say that father didn't directly attack the Spanish settlements and drive them out of the bay? It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Hearing this question, Wang Anguo put down his binoculars and replied: "Father didn't say what he thought, but I guess there are two reasons why he did this. First, it is said that the Spaniards once plundered the land in order to settle here. Kill the local aborigines, and keep them to spread hatred for us, so that the aborigines have no time to take care of our actions."
"Secondly, my father may have used this to bleed the Spaniards."
Wang Anbang asked, "How about bloodletting?"
Wang Anguo explained: "The Spaniards have seen us stationed in the Gulf. If they don't want to be squeezed out by us, they have no choice but to increase their troops. If they really do this, the matter will be simple. They have been replenishing troops from the south to consume their strength."
Wang Anbang suddenly said: "This bay has become a hole in the Spaniards. If they don't stop fighting, they will have to bleed all the time. Unless they voluntarily give up and evacuate from this bay."
Wang Anguo said: "The Spaniards' base camp is in the south. Although there is no need to be afraid of them, if we can first weaken their strength by bloodletting, then the decisive battle will be easier."
Wang Anbang said with a smile: "Will the Spaniards be discouraged when they see that we have transferred so many troops in one go?"
Wang Anguo shook his head slightly and said: "Although Spain's military strength is not as good as ours, its overall strength is not bad. Otherwise, how could they have their colonies all over the world? If they choose to avoid and not fight when they encounter a strong enemy, how can they achieve such achievements! "
"Don't forget, they have been fighting against our country in the Luzon region for 20 years. It was not until last year that they were forced to sign an armistice agreement after the defeat and gave up the local territory."
Not only was Wang Anbang not disappointed after hearing this, but he clapped his hands and applauded: "It's good if you don't coward! Otherwise, if I can't fight, my trip will not be in vain!"
Wang Anguo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and he didn't bother to argue with him which one is more beneficial to Hai Han, whether to fight or not to fight.
Wang Anbang is joking, but he has received years of military training after all, and his professional quality is not bad. When observing the Spanish settlements with a telescope, he has noticed that there are indeed no shore defense forts or forts specially built on the coast to target enemies from the sea. fortress.
Regardless of whether the reason is lack of money or underestimation of the enemy, this omission of the Spaniards is tantamount to wasting the excellent terrain they occupied early.
The two colonial settlements were built on both sides of the bay. Of course, the original intention was to control the main waterway in the bay, but they did not set up shore defenses. This not only gave up the right of passage of the waterway, but also divided their own power Second, it is difficult to form an effective response.
In a small way, this is improper deployment and wrong decision-making, and in a big way, it is simply an act of war criminals.
But the opponent is at this level, and Wang Anbang understands why his father finally agreed to let him participate in the action.If they can't even take care of such an opponent, then the two brothers don't have to go back to Jinshan Port to deal with them.
After driving through the narrowest part of the sea in the bay, you can already see the port wharf belonging to Haihan.At present, there are only a few trestle bridges with simple structures as docking places for the time being, but given the geographical environment here, it should not be a problem to build ten or eight large piers in the future, and then open up an urban area next to the port area.
