Capture the king.

After the king is captured, everything is gone.

Western gentlemen know better than the eastern gentlemen, especially when they conflict with the king, life and wealth, these precious interests, they always know what they should choose.

The corpses all over the floor were thrown into another vacant watertight cabin. Little Mara gained temporary freedom and sent orders for the big Mara to summon all officers above the school level to the San Carlos, and then the school level called the lieutenant level. Lieutenant level summons non-commissioned officers...

There was no **** fight in the whole process, only the black beard and people were blocking the aisle, and the Spaniards who knew the current affairs all chose to surrender without exception.

Almost half an hour later, it was Little Mara again, leading Blackbeard and Zanine, as well as representatives of the colonel, lieutenant and non-commissioned officers, back to the Shengshi, and announced to the two hundred sailors on board that the ship It has been officially transferred to the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

They can choose to go with the boat to the British Port of San Carlos, the British guarantee that they will not be regarded as prisoners; they can also disembark from here, and the generous President Drake will provide them with small boats, charts, and Enough food and clean water to return to Grenada.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the Shengshi, which had experienced too many twists and turns, finally ended her scheduled itinerary for the day, carrying two major generals from the Kingdom of Spain, eight school-level officers, twenty-six lieutenant-level officers, and 144 A sailor arrived at the lakeside dock in San Carlos.

Nelson fulfilled the promise made by Lorraine. Every sailor who assisted in sailing was paid an octagonal gold coin. The officers were properly transferred to the prisoner-of-war camp and shared the day with the prisoners of the San Carlos offensive and defensive war. Dinner.

As a result, the first phase of the sea-holding operation has finally come to an end.

In the last few days before the start of the rainy season, all that was left before them was the last big event.

This notice is not a common "ultimatum" in the course of war, but merely a business announcement to inform the Spanish that the war is over. As for the reason, it is of course to protect the Spaniards’ right to know the situation, lest they learn about the fall of San Carlos without knowing it, and blindly make an offensive decision because they can’t find a leader.

Therefore, the notification is very important, and the content must include the following points:

Tell the Spaniards that the British have successfully occupied San Carlos.

Tell the Spaniards that a total of 77 nobles and officers, including Major General Hawthorne, the colonial governor of Spain stationed in Nicaragua, Major General Mara, the admiral of the Grenada garrison formation, and Baron Torrecias, commander of the San Carlos Fortress, had been attacked after their heroic battles. captive.

Tell the Spaniards that they can at any time make a formal request for negotiations with the colonial governor of Great Britain stationed in Jamaica, Major General Darling, the Army Department or the British Foreign Office. Don't go to the navy, this operation has nothing to do with the navy.

The person who serves the letter is also very important. It cannot be a mercenary like the Drake Chamber of Commerce, nor an unidentified person like a native or Blackbeard.

Nor can Nelson and Spencer. Their status in the team is too high and they are easily used as a bargaining chip by the Spaniards; the ranks are too low, and low-ranking officers lack diplomatic experience. They can easily turn reassurance into demonstrations, stimulating Grenada’s fragility and sensitivity. Self-esteem.

After several selections, Fremany finally volunteered and was elected.

Lorraine chose the Blackbeard's beloved Lucia as his transport, and Leif, Chamuyam and Zainni served as escorts.

Nelson also selected a lieutenant colonel, two captains, and a second lieutenant from the captives. On the one hand, they needed to prove the authenticity of the statement in the letter. On the other hand, it was as a gift to ensure that there would be a chance for the British in Grenada. A grateful friend.

On May 3, Fremany set off from the lakeside dock. Watching Fan Ying drift away, Spencer suddenly slapped Lorraine's arm with emotion.

"Major, what are you?"

"Thank you, Drake."

"Thank you?" Zhang Er Lorraine couldn't figure it out. "If it's those things during the war...this is my job for accepting employment. I didn't reluctantly do it, and I have received the corresponding compensation."

"It has nothing to do with the war, Drake, I mean Fremani."

"Second Lieutenant Fremani? What happened to him?"

"This action has allowed him to grow a lot and look completely new. It's like two people!" Spencer's voice was deeply emotional, "He took the initiative to ask me for the task of submitting a notice, because he is my brother and wife, and It is a noble origin, whether it is talking about personal identity or identity in San Carlos, it is enough to make the Spanish feel sincere."

Lorraine raised his eyebrows: "If he intends to act frankly, there will be many unnecessary risks."

"He said a big deal and fled into the woods. With Ericsson there, he believes the Spaniards can't stop him." Spencer laughed, "Do you know what reward he asked me for?"

"Promotion? Or transfer?"

"He is going to retire."

With a completely unexpected answer, Lorraine let out a surprise: "He intends to retire after he has made a great contribution?"

"He wants to go on board, not as a navy, but as a sailor." Spencer looked into Lorraine's eyes. "The reward he asked of me is, I hope I ask you to allow him to become a member of the Drake Chamber of Commerce. ."

"Ah...huh?" Lorraine was startled for a while, "I think I need to think about it."

"I will wait, you can tell me the result at any time."

After speaking, Spencer turned and left, changing into a black beard and leaning forward, his nose was not a nose, and he stared at Lorraine with a blank face.

"Boy, it's been five days! I took risks for you, fought for you, and lent you precious cadres and ships, and accompany you to do the so-called confession. I have paid enough, and now I just want to Know, when will my return be honored?"

"Those documents are lying somewhere on the island of Pasatra, not on me." Lorraine replied, twisting his neck, "Your Highness, according to the weather in previous years, it will take almost a month from the beginning of the rainy season to the stable hydrology of the San Juan River. During this period, we can't do anything. We have a lot of time to go to that beautiful island to complete the final handover. Do you think you will follow me to the island or wait for me to deliver the goods in San Carlos?"

"Of course I'm going to the island with you!" Blackbeard's nose was hot, "Who knows if you will remove important information from the copy!"

"There is always a little trust between people." Lorraine teased, "Since you are going to the island, in order to avoid some unpleasant things from happening, please choose your entourage. The limit is three people."

Blackbeard's eyes widened: "What about the trust you just mentioned?"

"I ask you to trust me because I am a successful businessman who regards credibility as his life, and I have received the orthodox English aristocratic education since I was a child. You cannot ask me to trust you because your family is just a farmer, and you are capricious. , Greedy and cruel is known. This is the fairness we must observe in our cooperation~lightnovelpub.net~ I need to trust you, you don't need to trust me, is this fair?"

"Yes, this is fairness." Lorraine smiled happily. "It's like we can't cope with Grenada's counterattack, so we take the initiative to pay attention to the Spaniards' right to know. True fairness is never the two ends of the balance, but through Add weights to balance the imbalance."

"In short, when the rainy season comes, there will only be one ship going to Passatra Island, and that is the Shengshi. If I accidentally find another ship with the same destination during the voyage, I will sink her and strike a balance at one time. The necessary weight gain."

Lorraine gestured with both hands to sway the balance, and suddenly a drop of water fell from the sky and hit the back of his hand.

He couldn't help interrupting the topic, raising his head and looking at the low clouded sky.

"The rainy season... has begun."
