Successful pirate attacks in the Caribbean allow the brothers Alexander and Vladimir to create their own small army of “lucky soldiers.” Raids on Spanish colonies led to the construction of temporary bases for pirate ships. In turn, the appearance of havens and warehouses forced the building of coastal batteries.

Islands fly the white-blue-red flag in the Caribbean Sea. Leisurely curiosity leads to the discovery of Amazonia and to reaching the eastern slopes of the Andes. Unexpectedly even for themselves, the brothers become the first discoverers of huge silver deposits and numerous gold mines. But they are on their own—behind them there is no protection of a powerful state. At the same time, the Spanish notice the appearance in America of a new flag. The brothers wasted no time in taking advantage of the new opportunity and proposed a deal. As a result, they received the governorship of New Granada.
