After the Le Francois tragedy, Nelson, who was deeply concerned, immediately recruited the fishing boat to report all the details of the Halloween operation to Sir Parker's desk.

The old Spicy Sir saw an opportunity in it.

With the survivors of Le Francois in hand, especially the mayor who can live in the strange goods, Great Britain does not need to worry about becoming the responsible party of the tragedy.

On the contrary, when the initiative to refute the rumors lies with him, it means that he has enough capital to let Fort-de-France dance with his baton.

He immediately adjusted the war plan for the Battle of the Windward Islands, based on the Halloween Operation, and the new Christmas Operation came into being.

Christmas, the Lord’s birthday, resurrected after death, illuminating the world...

In the first step, Sir Parker indulged the rumors about the British, and was still fanning the flames, adding to the details of the Le Francois tragedy night, and turning the whole wind direction completely toward the argument that the British presided over everything.

In the second step, after learning that the cumbersome Halloween fleet had left Grenada, he concocted a false information that Nelson had taken control of Port Saint George and sent it to Fort-de-France through a Spanish businessman.

In the third step, the British main fleet was secretly split.

Four frigates, led by a destroyer, formed an enemy formation and continued to stay in the sea off Grenada. The battle formation, which was reduced to 17, but was basically undamaged in strength, gained freedom.

Under the leadership of the Sir, they sneaked out of the Windward Island Chain at night and swam in the waters between Grenada and Barbados, waiting for the event to further ferment.

On June 8th, after the [French noble blood cannot flow in vain] declaration, the French plan finally lost its cover in the eyes of the Jazz.

Pele Volcano, Port St. George, Sir drew two red circles on his chart. After thinking about it, he drew a blue circle on the mailing address he left for the French in the waters west of Grenada.

The Halloween fleet was the target of the French. The slave army that fled into the mountains was in the mist. The combined fleet would be divided into two, one going north and the other going south.

The Jazz couldn't guess how they would split up.

But the Halloween fleet is notorious, and there is also a Tier 4 frigate equipped with heavy artillery. For the sake of safety, the French must deal with it in battle.

Therefore, the French battle line will go south to Grenada. As for whether the entire battle line will go south or split into two, it is not important to the Jazz.

The purpose of this scam is to separate the combined fleet, weaken their power, and allow the Jazz to open the battlefield in the selected sea area and have an absolute advantage on the battlefield.

This battlefield...

The Jazz drew a circle on the northern coast of Martinique.

There is a motto of war in the East called the opposite, and the Jazz once saw it in a travel book.

The knowledgeable adventurer translated this as "Don't let people guess what you think, push your rule in the place where the other party thinks they have control].

There is a similar saying in the West. It is called hiding a leaf, and the woods are the safest place.

Martinique is an overseas province of the Kingdom of France. Compared with other colonies in the Caribbean, they have absolute dominance over here.

However, due to the active Halloween fleet, this kind of dominance temporarily gapped.

To the northeast of Martinique, the destruction of the Atlantic Defense Fleet caused the military to lose its minions, and the northward flight of the slave army affected the fishermen in the northern ports. The sea there is now almost a vacuum, but in the eyes of the French, There is still their back garden, and it is indeed their back garden.

The first part of the joint fleet northward will undoubtedly choose this route, because in their minds, this route is comfortable and comfortable, and they don't even need to wait for peace and effort to guard the army's itinerary.

A godsend!

The Parker fleet took action earlier than the French. Number seven

They went northward from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, then cut out the mid-ridge course, and rushed to deploy their formation before the combined fleet passed in the middle of the night on June 11. They stuck the throat of the course.

Seven hours later, the French Revenge Fleet took Grenada under the leadership of the Fury.

Twenty-nine hours later, the Jazz received his award, headed by the Glory, the main force of the unsuspecting combined fleet with a total of 20 ships.

The time was at noon on June 13, 1779, at 11:38, and the location was the northern coast of Martinique. The decisive naval battle of the Battle of the British and French Windward Islands officially began.

The British side had the upper hand in the T head and dispatched a total of 17 warships, including the second-class ship Duke of Wales, the third-class ship Endeavor, the Son of Poseidon and four fourth-class ships. The battleship has a total of 470 firepower and the flagship HMS Duke of Wales. The commander-in-chief is Lieutenant Admiral of the Royal Navy, Sir Peter Parker, Admiral of the New World Fleet.

The French-Dutch combined fleet rushed to the battle, with a total of 20 warships, including the third-class ship Glory, St. Van Nitelou, and four fourth-class ships. The battleship has a total of 370 firepower. The flagship of the USS Glory, the commander-in-chief is the navy. Lieutenant General, Vice Admiral of the New World Fleet, Viscount Rose Belfort.

The British had an absolute advantage in this decisive battle from the very beginning.

The French were tired of coping. In just two hours of the war, a Tier 4 ship was destroyed and forced to withdraw from the battle line.

In another hour or so, the stern of the Dutch flagship St. Van Nitrull was destroyed. The gunpowder blast destroyed half of the deck, the mast fell, the rudder and sails were out of control, and the ability to continue the battle was completely lost.

Her departure from the war declared the defeat of the combined fleet.

At 3:22 in the afternoon, Viscount Belfort ordered the **** formation to rush to retreat, and the fleet slowly withdrew from the battlefield with two slightly injured Class IV ships.

Sir Parker also dispersed the battle shortly after, ordering the entire army to sweep away the remnants of the enemy, and the war entered the end.

By 7:45 in the evening, the decisive battle with the Windward Islands ended with the two Brig-type ships 82 kilometers east of the main battlefield disengaged.

In this campaign, the British used 17 ships against 20 French and Dutch ships, sank 1 ship, seriously injured 4 ships, sunk 5 enemy warships at all levels, and captured 6 ships.

The captured ships included the third-tier Dutch ship St. Van Nidler and three French fourth-tier ships. The St. Van Nidler was towed back to Kingston due to excessive damage. It sank immediately.

Great Britain wins!

The Battle of the Windward Islands came to an end with Britain’s only victory. The Halloween fleet led by Nelson destroyed the French Atlantic Defense Fleet on the branch, and the main fleet led by Sir Parker defeated the combined fleet.

This means that the new maritime order pursued by Sir Parker has been established.

In the vast Caribbean Sea and the wider Atlantic coast of North America, Great Britain has the largest maritime power, especially battle firepower above Tier 4, which accounts for almost half of the total maritime power of all countries.

France continues to occupy the second place, but loses four Tier 4 ships and a large number of small ships. In terms of absolute strength, the French are no longer stronger than the Spaniards behind them.

No longer great, no longer glorious, no longer aggressive, the Spaniards still stayed steadily among the top three. Their strength was concentrated in the Caribbean, and they were almost absent from the Atlantic coast of North America.

Later...

Portugal, Russia, Denmark, UU reading www. uukahnshu.com, of course, and the nascent America...

They more or less embodied a sense of existence in the fertile New World, which would neither make people forget them nor make people remember them specifically.

The Dutch, who was fully prepared to restart the glorious in the New World, suffered a miserable defeat. His flagship of the New World became a corpse on the bottom of the sea, and even with that unrealistic ambition and dream, it sank into the bottom of the sea and was buried in the belly of a fish.

On June 24, the Martinique garrison confirmed that its militia had killed the mob leader who came to the robbery during a heavy transport, the Indian slave Rachamon, and Fort-de-France declared that the battle of revenge had been won.

On June 25, the French colonial authorities sent a note to Kingston, hoping to end the long-standing maritime dispute between the two countries, be independent of the situation in North America, and reshape the peace and tranquility of the Caribbean Sea.

The British colonial authorities expressed their strong support for this. In sincerity, they took the initiative to release the captured admiral of the defensive fleet, Count Gervaudan, and offered to send back the Le Francois refugees who had been rescued during the war. Including the noble mayor of Le Francois, Sir Allende.

The world is in an uproar. _
