In the limited preparation time, planning a kidnapping of local military and political leaders with limited manpower and material resources is a lunatic act from any angle.

And what Lorraine is doing is what this lunatic is doing.

The main point of the first phase of the sea-carrying operation is to capture San Carlos, and the core of the second phase is to smuggle into Lake Nicaragua, to counter the Spanish confidant town, the Miskito town of Managua.

Regardless of the difficulties in the implementation of the two phases, they must overcome two disadvantages only in the connection between phases and phases.

First, how to hold the newly captured fortress with a small amount of troops to ensure that San Carlos will still be under the control of the British when the first heavy rain of the rainy season ends and the water level of the San Juan River soars;

Second, how to control the overreaction of the Spanish colonial capital of Grenada and prevent the Spaniards from fully deploying their superiority in the region.

In Lorraine’s view, the essence of these two disadvantages is the same, both are that Grenada has an overly strong military strength, including an entire grenadier regiment, at least one line corps, and a total artillery number of more than 150. Gate's powerful lake frigate.

This terrifying army lies right in the middle of San Carlos and Managua, entrenched like a giant dragon on the golden mountain, and may wake up at any time, to the little thief named Nelson who steals gold coins under his feet. Sprayed out raging flames.

It is an unsolvable problem.

At least in the comprehensive plan of Major General Linda, the plan for its disposal is very general. There are no implementation details at all. There are only some perfunctory and general restraints and deceptions. If it is necessary to fight back at risk, it is It is necessary to "make it bear unbearable damage, and achieve a short-term peace with deterrence."

Red mouth and white teeth, they don't even know how long this short period will last!

And Lorraine’s kidnapping was essentially the first practical action plan proposed on the basis of this "transient peace" concept.

The core of the plan is very simple. It uses the precious opportunity of Governor Hawthorne and the Admiral of Mara to jointly preside over the administrative change of San Carlos to carry out a one-pot kidnapping of the leaders of the Spanish navy and military in Nicaragua.

Considering that the administrative decision-making of a large country is naturally lagging, and the Kingdom of Spain has an unrivalled good reputation in the field of administrative lag, Grenada's huge military power is likely to enter a long-term leaderless state because of this kidnapping.

In this state, the army can defend but cannot attack. When they no longer have the strength to attack, the "short-term peace" that the British have expected will naturally be realized.

This shows that the significance of this kidnapping operation cannot be overstated. It will determine the ownership of San Carlos, the reaction of Grenada, and the success or failure of the entire sea-to-sea operation.

The British landing forces handed over all the temporary authorizations to Lorraine. He could transfer manpower, material resources, technology and all other material or non-material belonging to the British at any time, and even Nelson and Spencer had to listen to him.

Lorraine did not disappoint them either. In just one night, he and Blackbeard and other professional rapists designed three sets of plans that were connected to each other, Plan A, Plan B and Plan C.

Plan A is the integration of all the most optimistic situations. Lorraine is responsible for compiling a story to replace a Spanish officer who looks three points similar to him, and waits on the only way of the Shengshi without taking any risk, creating a sense for the Spaniards. This kind of San Carlos is dangerous, only the illusion that Shengshi can restore.

Then, waiting to trick the Shengshi to San Carlos, block the plank road, and force the surrender, they have a lot of methods to choose from, and each has full confidence.

But perhaps it is a relationship that has been walking in a gray area all year round and everything has to be won by itself. Neither Blackbeard nor Lorraine believes that things will develop in a direction that is beneficial to them.

So they set up plan B and plan C, among which plan B is a high-risk deception, and plan C is straightforward, with almost no retreat.

"Two sirs, the captain is inside..."

In the lower deck of the San Carlos, Lorraine pointed to a watertight cabin with obvious temporary alterations and reinforcements, and said to Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne.

Admiral Mara’s face was so dark that ink could drip out: "Second Lieutenant Lopez, is this the prison you set up on the ship?"

"It's not a prison, sir..." Lorraine hesitated, "Forget it, now no matter how I explain it, you won't believe my words. All I can say is one thing, please believe in my loyalty to Spain, Please also believe in my love for my alma mater."

In just a few words, Hawthorne's accompanying adjutant has led people to inspect the entire cabin wall.

He reported what he saw in Hawthorne's ear. Hawthorne was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief, "This cabin can only be locked from the inside?"

"Yes." Lorraine nodded his head, "From the garrison to San Carlos, the captain was worried about his safety. The San Carlos is the place he trusts most, so he carefully set up a shelter here. All the decoration inside is similar to his study, and the hatch can only open inward, which is different from all the hatches on the ship."

"But where the construction started a few years ago, why is its outer wall..."

"The dilapidated outer wall was made overnight and coated with thick glue. It looks like this watertight tank had been immersed in sea water, but it had not been carefully repaired, and it was abandoned as a last resort."

"This situation is not uncommon on ships. People who don’t understand the ship’s condition will subconsciously ignore this cabin. Just like the soldiers sent by two commanders to inspect the rudder, they passed through this cabin several times, but never Someone has thought about what the situation is."

Hawthorne opened his mouth feebly: "Major Mara actually designed the shelter of the shelter to such a degree?"

"As long as the two officers knock on the cabin door, they will naturally understand everything when they see the inside of the cabin."

...

Not long after, the admiral and the governor were ready to knock on the door.

Admiral Mara had intended to knock directly on the door, but Hawthorne stopped him.

He always felt that this tall Lieutenant Lopez had something inexplicable about him, and he didn't feel like a grassroots officer who was obedient. The temperament that appeared from time to time always reminded him of those high-ranking powers, The elite who keeps their promises.

Just like himself...

So even if Admiral Mara was anxious, even if the cramped watertight aisle seemed to hide nothing, even if Lieutenant Lopez had already assumed the most cooperative posture, he had to accept it without rebellion, he still added insurance for himself.

Twenty elite stormtroopers rushed over from the Shengshi, raised their knives and guns toward the hatch, and hammered them.

Hawthorne took a look at Lorraine: "Ensign Lopez, this is your ship. It is up to you to explain to your captain that it should be the least likely to be suspicious and suspicious."

Lorraine showed a wry smile on his face, nodded without saying a word, and walked through the gun forest without saying a word until he came to the cabin door and straightened his waist.

"Temporary First Officer, Second Lieutenant Lopez, report!" Lorraine said loudly, "Captain, Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne are here, just outside the cabin. They hope to see you."

There was no response from the cabin.

Lorraine took a deep breath and repeated in a louder voice: "Temporary First Officer, Second Lieutenant Lopez, report! The captain, Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne are here, they are outside the cabin and hope to see you immediately. "

Click...

The door lock reversed half a circle~lightnovelpub.net~ Before the door was opened, a cowardly voice finally came out in the cabin: "Luo...Lopez, it's mine... uh... …Are my uncle and Governor Hawthorne here?"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Assault... uh... have the traces of our assault been cleaned up last night?"

"According to your wishes, everything has been cleaned up. Tongji of Shengshi has provided us with tremendous help."

"That's it. I have to thank the Captain of Shengshi in a moment, uh...before I replace him, we...seem to be, uh...seem to be friends."

"Let my dear uncle step back a bit. I want to... uh, no need to go back. I almost forgot. This door is opened from the inside, and only I can open it."
