Windward Islands.

From February to June of 1779, this small island in the gorge once replaced the smoky North American continent and temporarily became the focus and center of the entire new continent.

The French joined his ally, the Netherlands, and gathered a powerful force of 28 warships in this sea area with the intention of launching a battle, targeting the English colonial fleet led by Sir Parker.

And this is exactly what Sir Parker expected.

With the British superman's first-class maritime power, he quickly gathered 22 ships and formed a powerful fleet to fight the French and Dutch forces at sea.

The two sides fought fiercely on the inner side of the island chain. You come and I go, the outcome is difficult to distinguish, and this continues until May.

At that time, no one thought that in order to break the deadlock, the Jazz's casual move would completely change the course of the entire war.

The Halloween fleet turned out!

This small fleet with a sneaky name brought together two small Brigs and two unknown young officers, and because they could not get the support of the Marine Corps, they seconded a younger captain and his company.

Later, in order to replenish their combat power, they hired a young businessman and his fifth-class ship, which formed this team with an average command age of less than 20 years old, with only three ships, 100 cannons and 200 marines. The shabby formation.

No one has really expected them, but these young commanders have used their shocking performance to make everyone fall through their eyes.

On May 10, the fleet ambushed the French Brig ship Lucky Horseshoe at the gate of **** in the sea area of ​​Le Lorraine, won and sank one (according to the principle of military merit, mercenary captives are regarded as sinking).

On May 13, a fleet upgraded to four ships with 128 guns bombarded Le Robert, destroyed the docks, blocked the bay, and sank 17 French merchant ships.

On May 14, the fleet confronted the mighty Atlantic Defense Fleet in Le Rober Bay. It won a big victory, sinking one each of Tier 4 and Tier 5 Galenships, and two Tier 6 Briggs, a total of 4 ships. The defense fleet Only the Fortress is exempt.

On May 24, after 10 days of silence, the fleet once again blocked the Bay of Le Francois, the French Fort fled without a fight, and the merchant ships berthed in the harbor were scattered.

During the fleet operation, the French Martinique Overseas Department coincidentally broke out at the same time the largest slave riot in history.

On May 4, the riots started at Robbe Plantation in the Kahawe Peninsula. The leader was the plantation Negro Sander.

On May 8, the thugs broke through the army fortress La Trinité stationed on the island, greatly increasing their strength.

In the next half month, the team swept across half of the island, broke through the garrison, ransacked three towns, and continued to expand the size of the team through the brutal massacre and annexation of plantations.

On May 24, they also came to Le Francois, and formed an encirclement with the Halloween fleet raging on the sea to encircle this naval town like an appointment.

Then came the Le Francois tragedy that shocked the entire civilized world.

The mobs washed the town and killed 300 French soldiers and more than 4,000 civilians in just half a day. The number of people who escaped from that **** was considered less than 400 for a long time.

After that, the survivors fled to nearby towns sporadically, and fled to Fort-de-France with the tide of refugees, bringing the tragedy of Le Francois to the desks of those in power in Fort-de-France.

According to sources, it was the British who organized and led the Kharve riot.

According to news, someone saw the British red uniform in the mob team.

According to news, the Halloween fleet attacked LeFrançois together with the mob. Fleet ships shelled the pier that night and caused a large number of casualties.

The French were angry.

Even if they were facing a decisive sea battle with Sir Parker, they drew a powerful fleet of 8 warships from their precious fleet, led by a three-tier battleship, and vowed to let the evil murderer be the cause of that tragedy. The dead pay for their lives!

And at this time, the Halloween fleet...

On May 27th, the Halloween fleet sailed into Grenada, the southernmost point of the Windward Islands, and berthed for 5 days on this British colonial island. On the one hand, it was to converge the injured fleet that entered the rest first, and on the other hand, It is to restore the tired spirit of sailors and passengers.

However, this island is still within the radiation range of the Battle of the Windward Islands. It is logical and unsuitable for the Halloween fleet with countless secrets and complex personnel and ship conditions to stay for a long time.

On June 2, the fleet departed from the port, bypassed Barbados, towed the wounded ship along the southern Caribbean route, and returned to Kingston Royal Port on the night of June 15.

It wasn't until the fleet really put down the anchor chain in the heavily guarded Royal Navy naval port.

The most exposed gangster camp did not even get off the boat, and was transferred to Savannah where General Clinton is located that night by the Wasp of Collingwood.

The wounded ships that are most likely to sink are also very important.

Regarding the input and output of the Chamber of Commerce, Chuck was pulled from the bed overnight by Lorraine, and opened his mouth on the pier for thirty minutes.

Andes, Jupiter, Golden Deer, Totem, Lucky Horseshoe...

Lorraine took a ship to participate in the mercenary war, and a month later returned to Port Royal with five large ships.

Chuck felt that his mind was a little bit overwhelmed...

"Yes...President, did you go to the robbery?"

Lorraine thought for a while, then nodded solemnly.

"Who...who did you steal?"

"The New World Fleet of the Kingdom of France belongs to it. It seems to be called the Atlantic Defense Fleet."

"You robbed the army! My God, with such a large scale, you are not afraid that what fleet will treat us as a thorn in the flesh?"

"This possibility is not great." Lorraine slowed down as much as possible to facilitate Chuck's understanding. "First, the admiral of the Defense Fleet is preparing to visit Lieutenant Colonel Nelson's private house. Of course it is semi-forced; Second, the ships of that fleet are basically here, and there are two Brigs left. One went to Nootong, and the other fled because they didn’t fight. They will probably be transferred to the New World soon.”

Lorring paused: "There is a third, no surprise, I will soon become a hero of France. You don't have to worry that the French business route you have worked so hard to open up is lost. Even if Britain and France continue to fight, Drake's The name also deserves the privilege of doing business."

Chuck blinked his eyes. "Can you tell me what you have gone through?"

"This is a long story, Chuck. You will know everything sooner or later, but now, you have to find repair docks for these good ships before they sink. By the way, you have to take the 24 pounds from the Andes. Give it back to the navy...the **** non-civilian use!"

"It's... the dock... the dock!"

As soon as he woke up from the dream, Chuck showed the jumping ability and running speed that surprised Lorraine, and soon disappeared into the night.

Lorraine thumped his waist tiredly, raised his head, and saw Nelson alone, beckoning at him at the right far end.

"It seems that my charm is greater than the sum of the youngest daughter of Sir Allende and the Earl of Gévoire, my respected presidency." Lorraine greeted him with a smile.

Nelson laughed too, and it was rare to see it easily: "Your charm is indeed far greater than love and future, my dear friend."

"Friends? Partners?"

"No, what you brought to me is far beyond our agreement. Your dedication moved me." Nelson patted Lorraine's arm gratefully. "I don't have many friends. I think I am worthy of my life. Only you and Collingwood~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the biggest gain from my trip." Lorraine stepped back and nodded in greeting, "The refugees are all settled?"

"Of course, every one is properly settled. They are important witnesses. After the Jazz wins, they can make our victory even brighter."

"Your victory, my business, apart from being brilliant, our pursuit is very different."

"Businessman's thinking will become your hindrance sooner or later." Nelson shrugged, seemingly helpless. "Well, I want to repay a businessman friend within my power. Can you give me any good advice?"

"Suggestion? Do your best?"

"Yes, a category within the colonel's ability."

"It turned out to be the colonel's category..." Lorraine laughed freely. "Look at it. There are 24 newest 18-pound flintlock guns to fill the vacancy of heavy artillery confiscated. There are also two 32-pound mortars and The supporting deep rails, I hope to get the cost price. They are not non-civilian goods, although there are few on the market, but the colonel should be able to open it online, right?"
