Joseph heard this and also showed a smile:
"It seems I need to write a congratulatory letter to His Majesty Carlos."
In recent years, after England successively lost Rotterdam Port in the Netherlands and Cuxhaven Port in Hanover, Porto has been their last major supply port on the European Continent.
That means, in the future, the British fleet can only interfere with the North Atlantic shipping lanes by setting out from home country. This greatly reduces their supply efficiency and response speed compared to before.
More importantly, the distance for British transport ships to support the Gibraltar Fortress has suddenly increased more than four times.
The French and Spanish Allied Army capturing Gibraltar is just around the corner!
Bertier continued:
"Your Highness, the Juno Corps has now been reinforced, including 8 newly manufactured 330-mm Mortar Cannons."
