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

This is a rather peculiar experience of joining the club.

He broke the sturdy discussion table, threatened the noble guardian, and declared that he would hunt pirates as pirates. After finishing this, Lorraine took Henna and Barto and left the domed hall.

Only half an hour later, Dylan led a dozen seafarers off the ship and sent a brand new flag painted with colored skulls to the Brotherhood at Sea, which was flatly covered on the 5,000 gold pounds that were pushed and placed in a random manner.

Dylan drew out his lance to hold down the flag, and said proudly: "The admiral ordered me to convey his greetings and gratitude. You let him spend a pleasant afternoon. He also said that Tortuga should be rectified, whether it is run-down. The domed hall is still a filthy lakeside sanctuary, and neither is worthy of a great organization with a glorious history."

The old captain's face was cloudy, his eyes flickering, and his voice erratic.

"We only have one question, the thief who stole Drake's wealth..."

"Alessandro Di Rabbi, a shameless man who only dared to swing a knife at a surrender. If you think this name is a bit strange, he has another name in the world of pirates, the pirate king Cotton Jack VII. ."

"He actually wants to challenge a pirate king?"

"You are wrong." Dylan sneered. "This is not a challenge, it's a hunt!"

...

Bimini Islands.

Although the Bahamas is the exclusive hunting ground for Cotton Jack, Bimini, which is used as a base to operate, is not part of the Bahamas.

It is located in the northwest coast of the Bahamas, 80 kilometers from the coast of Florida, 175 kilometers from the core town of the Bahamas, and Nassau on New Providence Island. It is isolated and isolated from the world.

This archipelago is mainly composed of two main islands, scattered islands and reefs, and sandbars. The continental shelf is similar to an isosceles triangle.

The north island fits the apex of the triangle and the east waistline, narrow in the north and wide in the south, and the south island is a long strip occupying the bottom line of the south side of the triangle, like a lazy lying silkworm.

In the middle of the two islands is the inner sea of ​​the archipelago. It is open from east to west, with a narrow center, with an average depth of less than 5 meters. In addition, there are scattered sandbars in the sea. The depth is variable and the hydrology is complicated.

Obviously, this is not a suitable place for humans to thrive, otherwise the greedy colonists would not ignore it and allow it to become a den of pirates.

On the fourth day after the declaration of war on Turtle Island, Lorraine took his fleet into an uninhabited palm island on the east coast of Florida.

This island is a standard barrier island, flat, desolate and long. Because its main direction is parallel to the coast, the West Beach faces the busy nearshore route, and the East Beach is adjacent to the ocean, and no one cares about it all year round.

This is the closest location to Bimini on the Florida coast. It is a unique hiding place for the fleet and an excellent starting point for offensive.

Lorraine’s fleet anchored here for ten days.

For ten days, Lorraine would take the three-eyed crow to explore Bimini’s north and south islands almost every day. The longest time he took Henna on the North Island for three days, hiding in the dense island forest. The entire coast was surveyed at close range.

It was not until the basic exploration was over that Lorraine gathered all the seamen of the fleet and called a pre-war meeting on Palm Island.

"I've heard of Bimini a long time ago." He sat under a tall palm tree, recalling his face, "It was when I was young, 10 or 11 years old, my father, Avery Yawei Shaq arranged a deduction guidance, the subject is to deploy a fleet in Bimini as a strategic extension of Bermuda and compete with Spain for dominance of the important Florida channel."

"In that battle, Shaq represented Spain. My father was Great Britain. As a result, Shaq won."

"This is the main reason why I can remember this long-term story. Shaq defeated his father for the only time on the picture, so the sea battle on Bimini became my only bedtime story in the next month."

He laughed. While laughing, spread the chart on the sand.

"This is the topography of Bimini Island, with a high outer profile and a low inner edge. Its natural berths are distributed on both sides of the inner sea. The berths on the South Island are concentrated in the middle section of the north shore, while the coasts of the North Island suitable for berthing are concentrated on the west line. Upper section."

"The internal sea of ​​Bimini has two exits, east and west, and the sandbars are mainly scattered in the middle and east. There are not many sandbars in the western sea, but they have their own unique regularities."

He crossed a short line on the coast of the North Island, and then moved horizontally.

"Just in the west of the North Island berth, along the western waistline of the continental shelf, almost all the sandbars and most of the scattered islands and reefs in the western waters are concentrated. Although the sandbars and the islands and reefs are not connected to each other, the gaps between them are silted out. The shallows are less than 2 meters deep. Except for assault boats and small fishing boats, most of the boats are not navigable."

"This natural underwater seawall makes a huge difference in the port conditions of the north and south islands. The South Island berth is facing the sandbank area. The hydrology is complicated, large ships cannot pass, and the view is narrow. The North Island berth is hidden deep in a natural area. In the haven, the sea is open and the view is good."

"In the battle on the map that year, my father designed this question because of the good port conditions of the North Island berth. But the final result proved that ~lightnovelpub.net~ a good port does not necessarily have the corresponding military potential. For example, the North Island berth has excellent conditions for use as a civilian port, but as a military port, it has a fatal flaw."

Speaking of this, Lorraine’s fingers slowly advanced from the Palm Island, along the cliffs of the northeastern coast of the North Island, to the east entrance of the inner sea.

"At that time, Shaq divided the fleet into two. One took advantage of the shallow draft of the Brig boat to sneak in from the east entrance and venture across the sandbar waters, easily avoiding all of his father's observation posts, in the absence of his father's knowledge. The next door has been closed."

He closed the door and moved his fingers gently to the mouth of the haven.

"This is the mouth of the bay. The two unnamed islands and reefs are stuck on the west side, and the remaining width is less than 60 meters. As long as one Brigentine is horizontally placed at the midpoint, the entire port becomes a tight pocket."

"Then, another big boat, imposingly, protruded from the front of the observation post set up by his father into the west entrance. Because the door has been closed, no matter whether his father's sailors are dedicated or not, they can't stop Shaq from picking the fruits of victory."

Seeing Lorraine finished speaking, Acharin touched his chin, tilted his head and looked at the chart in front of him.

"Does Cotton Jack put his lair in his pocket?"

Lorraine shrugged regretfully.

"The North Island Haven is a natural trap set up by nature for the defenders. It perfectly meets all the conditions of a good port. Although the situation of a military port and a private port, the navy and the pirates are somewhat different, in the end, my father was in the same position. , Now Cotton Jack can't notice it either."

Alves let out a whistle: "It seems we can celebrate the victory in advance!"

Lorraine nodded naturally: "This battle is codenamed [Barrier]. Next, I will announce the specific combat details and personnel plan..."
