At 10 o'clock in the morning, the Mirai set sail on time, and entered the Aldabra Atoll slowly in a serpentine parallel with the Cenozoic.

At 11:15, they saw the Sunflower, which was much more free in shallow waters, in the southern area of ​​the atoll.

The mottled colorful sail is the symbol of the Sunflower, and close to 3 kilometers away, the **** flag raised on the Sunflower indicates its ownership, and the Sunflower is still Drake's delicate flower.

Aldabra Atoll is a vast area of ​​shallow water, where the depth of the water is less than 10 meters, and the average is about 7 meters. The colorful corals wave on the blue sea and white sand, like a dream, like a paradise.

Shallow water is a common feature of complex hydrology. In this water area, Brigentine such as the Sunflower can travel freely on most of the sea, while Galen such as the Mirai needs to find those cobweb-like waterways.

The waterways are winding and changeable, and the Mirai can only maintain its floating speed, and it can hardly raise the horizontal sail.

But this is the purpose of Pierce.

The Portuguese ships will not have a shallower draft than the high-speed cutting-edge ships of the Qin formation. Even if they are familiar with the sea, they cannot come and go freely.

Such an ambush location can only be set at the wide and deep atoll exit, they are free, the special service fleet can also raise the horizontal sail, and use its own high speed to minimize the possibility of being bombed.

It would be even better if the battle could be delayed. As long as the ladies enter the battlefield, even in this battle that is not aimed at victory, they can win some valuable trophies.

The enemy that cooperates is the good enemy.

Pierce thought so, watching the Sunflower connect with the Mirai, Dylan led the observers to the ship's side.

The observers are still at a loss.

The trip was very pleasant, easy and smooth. Although Admiral Dylan Snapps didn't read much, he was talkative and funny, and it was never boring to get along with him.

Drake's shipboard diet is also a must. A variety of pickled vegetables, smoked and air-dried meats, fresh sea fish, live poultry and fresh eggs, and oriental-style soy products that are dried and stored and foamed only after use make the whole journey delicious and rich, even less than half of the menu Maggots.

They are still drinking tea on the boat.

Seafarers and guests have tea bags that match their personal tastes, while ordinary sailors have a strong astringent tea soup cooked uniformly. Except for the strange rule that the tea must be eaten, life on Drake's ship is almost the same as in the manor.

This journey allowed them to fully appreciate Drake's wealth and wealth, and at the same time, fully felt the arbitrariness of this powerful Chamber of Commerce.

Observers are called VIPs, enjoy the independent cabin on the same floor as the admiral, do not participate in duty, have high-level drinks and designated escorts, but they have no right to express any opinions on the sailing, and any scruffy sailor can demand them Turn a deaf ear.

Even if most of their requests are reasonable and well-intentioned.

It's like this voyage across the atoll.

Aldabra Island is a desolate place that ranks among the most desolate in Africa. Its atolls are wide, shallow and complex in hydrology.

In addition to special business needs, African maritime merchants often choose to detour and avoid the atolls, but Drake's people chose a seemingly short crossing.

The observers thought that they had just made a mistake of judging the environment. They enquired that the fleet schedule was made by the young adjutant of Admiral Dylan Snaps, and they organized a group to remind him seriously.

As a result, Pierce had people fork them out of the cabin and threatened them viciously. Whoever dared to say that he was not weaned would hang on the rudder to feed the fish.

How barbarous! How uncultivated!

After that, the observers stopped expressing their opinions, just tasting tea and discussing wine.

They didn't know anything about the planning of the voyage, let alone that today, in the center of the atoll belt, there is actually a Brigentine dressed like a clown that will join the fleet until they see it with their own eyes.

There was a slight tremor on the deck, and the two ships were linked together. The observer asked Dylan curiously: "Admiral, what is this ship?"

"This is the communications ship Sunflower of our fleet. Like the Navy, the Drake Chamber of Commerce has professional communications ships in ocean-going configurations. Their high speed is the only way for the entire Chamber of Commerce to maintain smooth communications."

"Professional communications ship? Brigentine?" The observers were only amazed.

Three people came on the Sunflower, the first was a young English gentleman, the second was the beautiful Miss Oriental, and the last was the black-skinned savage who made himself a gentleman.

The beautiful Miss Dongfang walked the fastest, surpassing the gentleman on the narrow boat board, and Ping Ping Tingting stepped in front of Old Dylan: "Where is the young master?"

Di Ethics pointed to the stern compartment of course.

"goodbye!"

The wayward women walked as soon as they said, giving the center of gravity of the deck to the handsome men.

Faramin and Hashim boarded the ship together and walked together in front of Old Dylan and the observers.

Old Dylan raised his hand and introduced: "Hashem in Leo Dispura, our navigator, a master of astronomy from the University of Bernier, and the godson of the Earl of Loewsden in the Swiss Federation. Hashim, They are business observers from France, Spain, and the Netherlands. They are here to investigate the business environment of the East African route with us, and will also explore the possibility of the four chambers of commerce jointly progressing to Asia."

Hashim gave a standard gentleman's courtesy to the observers.

"Hashem Dispura greets you gentlemen, and may God shine on your lives." He said in full-blown Latin.

The observers were hit harder than when the three sisters Xiao came and went. Mr. Melidori from the Netherlands opened his mouth openly: "Luo... the godson of Earl Loveden, the master of astronomy, a black..."

Mr. Mombardi from Spain stabs Melidori's unfinished words with an elbow, and puts on a smile like a spring breeze~lightnovelpub.net~ with a weird emphasis on the word.

"How long haven't I heard such authentic Latin? Mr. Dispra's accent reminds me of the old scholars in the Madrid Church Library. In order to interpret the Trinity, I was almost blasted out of the library door."

Melidor's mouth opened wider: "The church library? Latin? Not savage?"

The matching companion was so stupid that Mr. Illich of France found it hard to bear it.

He put aside his companions and walked to Faramin: "I don't know this young gentleman?"

"Faramin Snapps, my proud son." Old Dylan laughed loudly. "Faramin, this is Mr. Ilic, from the French Rothertaly Chamber of Commerce."

Faramin smiled and greeted Ilic and the other two.

At the end of the greeting, Spain’s Mombadi tentatively asked: "Mr. Admiral, is meeting in the atoll belt also one of the plans for this voyage?"

"I guess you still want to add a word, sneaky."

Dylan's frankness made the three observers speak up. Melidori from the Netherlands was the most straightforward and immediately said: "Yes, sir, sneaky."

Dylan ordered the Sunflower to separate, led Hashim and Falamin, and accompanied the three observers to the bow of the ship.

"Drake will not hide anything from his allies. My son departed a few days earlier than us and his destination was Mombasa. Kenya is the key to our Asian route. As the organization of this joint survey People, Drake has an obligation to make our way forward smoothly."

Ilych of France frowned: "You mean...to stand in front of you?"

"A little gift, we will be welcomed like friends in Mombasa. This is the treatment that a distinguished gentleman should have, Mr. Ilic, do you think so?"
