"Birthday is not to fall as a pirate ( to find the latest chapter!

The encounter with Nelson was probably a surprise that God placed in Kingston.

When he heard that Lorraine planned to declare war with Cotton Jack, Nelson did not stand in his position to persuade him, but immediately volunteered and proposed to go to the Fleet Intelligence Office to transcribe relevant information for Lorraine.

Contemporary Britain attaches great importance to intelligence work far beyond the world average level, and its sources of information are numerous and wide, and the professionalism of spy personnel is amazing.

How much secret information about Jack Cotton is lying in the Fleet Intelligence Office of the New World?

Lorraine didn't know.

He only knows that this unexpected joy is likely to have a huge impact on the next war, and it is definitely worth his temporary stop in Kingston.

Of course, this value does not exceed the value of the pirate war itself.

There is no need to delay the smuggling work, and Wang Ye’s Lunar New Year will not be postponed, so all arrangements can be made as usual, as long as the relevant personnel slightly adjust the itinerary.

After thinking through the next arrangement, the carriage carrying Lorraine also drove to the sump of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Lorraine jumped out of the car and saw the seafarers talking and laughing together outside the warehouse. There were actually quite a few.

This made Lorraine different for a long time.

"What? What stinks in the sump?"

Karen smiled and said, "No, everyone is just looking forward to your response."

"My reaction?"

Doubts were quickly answered.

A group of people entered from the gate, turned around the main warehouse, and entered the inner dock. What was presented in front of Lorraine was a completely different Golden Deer.

The bow mast was lengthened, about 10-12 meters, and four large delta sails were set up.

The other sails on the ship have also undergone Bermuda-style adjustments.

The horizontal sails became narrow and slender, and the number of sails on the mainmast increased to six, with five fore masts and three for rear masts.

The tall stern sail was replaced with a boned soft sail, which is at least 12 meters high, and is now tucked away at the stern of the ship, seeming to squeeze the aft deck.

There are also wing sails. The addition of wing sails makes the entire sail outfit thick and heavy, so that the four sails between the two masts in front of the two masts become less conspicuous.

The replacement of the sail outfit led to the cable outfit.

The current cable is much more complicated than the original cable. The thick cables are stretched straight, connecting the deck from the tip of the mast, and driving the sails all over the mast, pulling a hair as if moving the whole body.

The changes in the bow compartment must be mentioned.

After the narwhal crossbow was destroyed, the upper deck lost its personally representative harpoon gun and became flat. Instead, there are huge long openings on both sides of the bow of the ship, from which two huge muzzles appear, and the black hole points straight ahead.

Lorraine's eyes sparkled.

"Leonard, did you take advantage of this overhaul to change the Golden Deer?"

Leonard nodded triumphantly.

"Captain, you asked me to buy a Bermuda ship in Crow's Nest, and I know you are more and more concerned about the high-speed ship type."

"But the Golden Deer is an old ship. Although classic, speed is always her weakness. In fact, except for the cutting-edge destroyers equipped with high-speed sails, most destroyers are not rivals to pirate ships in terms of speed."

"So I tried to ask the Scott Mariner, who gave me this design overnight. I heard from the masters responsible for the transformation of Bermuda, although the current Golden Deer is not as good as due to innate reasons such as the aspect ratio and bow shape. The cutting-edge high-speed type, but the downwind high-speed has been able to reach 11 knots, and more importantly, the headwind has greatly increased, and it stably touched 3.5 knots in the sea trial!"

"Perfect!" Lorraine excitedly patted the old Leonard on the shoulder, because he couldn't control it for a while, he almost patted the old thing on the ground.

Leonard was happy and painful again, clutching his shoulders, grinning with a grin.

"Captain, although the effect of the transformation is very good, but it costs..."

"How much did it cost?"

"The old cloth was removed and the stern mast was replaced, and the straight mast and the bow cabin were greatly changed. The overall renovation greatly exceeded the budget. The other party offered a price of 5,300 pounds, and I can't get it down at all."

The price is indeed high...

Karen said that Haite only needed five thousand pounds to buy all the equipment in Boston, and now it is only part of the equipment and part of the remodeling, 4,000 pounds is the appropriate price.

But well...

The so-called commercial behavior can be used for exotic goods. At that time Leonard didn't know the existence of Haite Shipyard, and he didn't know shipbuilding himself. He went to the shipyard with Karen's transformation plan. It was strange that the shipyard did not exaggerate the value of high technology.

Generally speaking, the other party did not speak loudly.

The only problem here is that Lorraine knows Leonard's wealth. He may be able to deal with two or three thousand pounds, but 5,300 pounds...far beyond his tolerance.

"How is the account solved?" Lorraine asked with a smile.

"No solution..." Leonard flushed, "I have some credit in Bermuda, so I asked the shipyard to pay in installments. Pay two thousand pounds first, and pay off the remaining three thousand three hundred pounds after three months."

"The vice president of Tangtang Caribbean Branch actually took credit outside..." Lorington felt dumbfounded, "In this way, I will directly withdraw money from Crow's Nest for the things I have assigned in the future, and I will explain it there. Just apply for post-positioning."

"Yes, Captain!"

"Well, we will stay overnight today. Tomorrow, except for the war-related personnel, the rest will take the Cyclops to the Crow's Nest and do their own things. Leonard will also go and settle the debts of Bermuda first, and then come back to join me. ."

"Yes!"

...

The quiet days flickered for seven days.

Lorraine sorted out the navigation route of the Bahamas while conceiving a simple and practical formation.

Information about Cotton Jack came in one after another, including not only Nelson's transcript from the Naval Intelligence Service, but also Catalina's from Old Bart's hands.

These intelligences with different concerns were pieced together and integrated in front of Lorraine, and gradually formed a plump and true image of a pirate king, which was far from being limited to the military.

As we all know, the honor of Cotton Jack comes from the first generation of Cotton Jack John Clayham. His private life is talked about, and his lucky Lorraine has long been heard.

But it was not until this time that Lorraine knew that the Bahamas, where Turtle Island was located, had been a public hunting area for pirates during the Morgan era and even the post-Morgan era. It was not until the first generation of Cotton Jack proposed the pirate flag that this "central" was the first. Was awarded and sealed out by the Sea Brotherhood for the second time.

In recognition of the contribution of the first generation of Cotton Jack, the pirates bestowed this honor with a privilege similar to that of the Guards.

Although this guard will not have a greater advantage than other pirate kings, even since Morgan's death, the pirates of the Caribbean have never had a second emperor, but the honor is the honor.

This generation of cotton Jack is the seventh generation, whose real name is Alessandro Dirabi, Portuguese-American, and the third generation of pioneers.

He used to be a gentry in Virginia, with a rich estate and a huge estate, and a happy family.

Under the improper competition of the British, he went bankrupt~lightnovelpub.net~ his wife was separated and his family was broken, so he went to sea with hatred, and the fleet under his command was extremely cruel to the British businessmen.

However, the Naval Intelligence Department has another remark, pointing out that a certain progressive nobleman in England has thrown him a huge sum of 30,000 pounds under his clever tongue to reform production capacity and introduce steam engine operations.

But he failed.

In order to avoid the blame of the English nobleman, he quickly sold his property and manor, hid his wife and children in the countryside, disguised himself as a victim, and became a pirate ever since.

It is difficult to explain who is right and who is wrong with these two arguments.

But Alessandro was 37 years old when he went to sea and had never sailed before.

In just half a year, he became the captain of the Bloody Mary, with two Brigentine and a group of loyal and brave crew members, and began to compete for the honor of Cotton Jack, and won the final victory.

"It's hard to explain that this sentence is very vivid..."

Lorraine smashed his mouth and continued to organize.

Having been the pirate king for more than three years, Cotton Jack VII is based in the Bahamas, and his power has grown considerably.

Reliable intelligence shows that his lair is hidden in Bimini.

There are a total of eight warships under his command, including two standard destroyers [Bloody Mary] and [Saint Anne], four Brigentine and two Brigs.

This is the data for October this year, and it is clear that the two Brigentine ships sunk by Shaq have been excluded.

"The combat power is quite worth seeing, but Bimini Island..."

Lorraine traced his fingers to find Bimini Island, then rummaged in the chart piles, quickly found out the detailed maps of Bimini and dozens of surrounding islands and reefs, and carefully examined them.

"If those legends are true, this battle...maybe easier than expected..."
