Successful pirate attacks in the Caribbean allow the brothers Alexander and Vladimir to create their own small army of “soldiers of fortune.” Raids on the Spanish colonies led to the construction of temporary bases of shelter for pirate ships. In turn, the emergence of harbors and warehouses forced the construction of coastal batteries. Islands appear in the Caribbean Sea under a white-blue-red flag. Idle curiosity leads to the discovery of the Amazon and access to the eastern slopes of the Andes. Unexpectedly for themselves, the brothers become discoverers of huge deposits of silver and numerous gold mines. But they are alone, there is no protection of a powerful state behind them. At the same time, the Spaniards are paying attention to the appearance of a new flag in America. The brothers did not fail to take advantage of the new opportunity and proposed a deal. As a result, they received the governorship of New Granada.
