The escalation of the pirate war was unexpected to everyone.

The zealous pirates threw themselves out of the lair. In three days, 97 pirate regiments and 226 lone pirates declared war on Lorraine. Two weeks later, the number increased to 149 pirate regiments and 462 lone pirates. Even if it is an incomplete estimate, they have more than 1,000 pirate ships and more than 20,000 guns...

Lorraine waited tremblingly for a super battle that would destroy him and the Chamber of Commerce, but from the end of 1781 to the beginning of 1782, he waited for a full three months, except for a Skura that struck a rock in the storm, Drake had nothing to lose.

Strangely, the pirates' attacks on him have completely stopped...

In March 1782, an invitation letter was sent to Lucy. A total of 109 chambers of commerce from Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, the United States, Portugal, Denmark and Holy Rome invited the Drake Chamber of Commerce to hold a salon in Havana. Salon topics "After the North American War, How Should the Legal Chamber of Commerce Guarantee the Commercial Security in the Caribbean Sea"...

Until then, Lorraine, working behind closed doors, knew what the chaos of the world had become.

In three months, after the Black Baron’s jihad speech, the incidence of looting in the Caribbean sea lanes increased by 186%, daily personnel losses increased by 47%, and daily property losses increased by 104%. It is a statistical black port transaction. The amount increased by 194%.

The legal chamber of commerce is miserable, the pirate trade is thriving, and in a trance, the golden age of pirates seems to be coming back.

The chambers of commerce of various countries had hoped that their navies would uphold justice for them, but to their disappointment, because of the indecision of the Paris talks, the navies of various countries have received restraint orders from their own countries, and warships are not allowed to leave Hong Kong for no reason. Create friction.

As a result, the businessmen who were crying for help thought of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in the eyes of the storm, and thought of Lorraine, the pirate hunter who was respected by the pirates as the pirate king, but has never stopped the pirate war since he came to the Caribbean.

It just so happens that Lorraine on the edge of the cliff also urgently needs new allies, the kind of reliable, high-quality allies that will not go with the pirates, and will not be restricted by the decree of various countries.

He came to Havana with great sincerity, and the two sides almost hit it off.

On April 10, 1782, the [110 chambers of commerce jointly responding to the regional security union] was proclaimed at the fountain of the Royal Bishop of San Heroinemo in Havana.

This huge chamber of commerce with the nature of a trade association has a total of 772 armed merchant ships of level 6 or above. It is based on the maintenance of regional security, while taking into account the sharing of commercial information, internal preferences and dispute arbitration.

The official abbreviation of the association is 【Hundred Business Association】, with one permanent rotating chairman and twelve standing directors. The headquarters is located in Morro Castle at the entrance of Havana Bay, which means 【Caribbean Peace Guardian】.

Mr. Conceicao, Count of Spain, who enjoys the reputation of impartiality and self-discipline, has a grand reputation in the Pan-Caribbean region, and is not interested in any chamber of commerce, was invited to become the first rotating chairman of the Associated Press.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce was elected as the executive director of the Associated Press for its million-level chamber of commerce strength, and Lorraine was undisputedly elected as the No. Serving as a security consultant.

This position is the only position with real power in the Baishang Associated Press. According to the Associated Press Convention, once the council passes a war resolution within the framework of the convention, Lorraine will become the only candidate for admiral of the joint fleet.

On April 16, 1782, the first council was convened at Morrow Castle, the headquarters of the Associated Press, declaring a state of war.

On May 27, a combined fleet of 126 armed merchant ships assembled in Port-au-Prince on the island of Hispaniola in the French colony. The Golden Deer became the flagship, and Lorraine was sworn in as the admiral.

On June 9, the joint fleet sent troops to Turtle Island.

On June 12, during the first association war, a pirate fleet of 106 ships under the command of Lorraine and the Black Baron fought in the Xiangfeng Strait.

The war lasted for 7 days. On June 19, the admiral Van Royel Prundit, who was born in the Dutch Prundit Chamber of Commerce, led a squadron composed of 26 armed merchant ships to cut in from the north and crossed the pirate fleet formation, Pavlo Miao Duowei escaped the battle, and the combined fleet was victorious.

On June 21, the joint fleet bombarded the port of Turtuga on Turtle Island. Leif led a stormtrooper of more than 1,300 people to land. The Brotherhood of the Sea fled to Nassau, and the first war of association ended.

The first association war severely hit the pirates' intensified looting momentum. A total of 57 pirate ships were sunk or ambushed, more than 2500 pirates were hanged, and the cross tree filled the entire turtle island.

Pavloumi's pirate group did not suffer much damage in this battle, but his own behavior of abandoning the pirates and docking to survive has become a stain.

The pirates no longer trusted his leader, and the long-silent Blackbeard replaced him and assumed the leading role of launching a counterattack to the association.

On August 4, the second association war.

Blackbeard swore in Nassau and gathered 192 pirate ships. A total of 4 squadrons launched attacks on Havana, Lucy, Bridgetown, and Port-au-Prince, and the members of the association formed their own defenses.

On August 22, Lorraine's Lorraine commanded a big victory on the battlefield.

On August 26, Port-au-Prince was looted by a squadron led by Blackbeard.

On August 28, Havana withdrew from the enemy.

On August 29, the Bridgetown fire destroyed half of the town and hundreds of people were buried in the flames.

By September 7, Lorraine was preparing to counterattack with 57 warships gathered temporarily, and the great pirate Derrick took his squadron with his squadron to retreat from the sea off Barbados, leaving only a hell-like remnant after the war. scene.

There is no victor in this war.

The merchant suffered heavy losses. Six chambers of commerce declared bankruptcy after the war, and the casualties of innocents, especially the civilians in Bridgetown, were even harder to count.

The pirates are not comfortable either. In Lucy, Lorraine hung 700 captured pirates on the shore reefs. In Port-au-Prince and Havana, the sea was covered with shipwrecks broken by shore artillery.

Two successive large-scale wars made both sides bored. The pirates couldn't help but reflect. Why?

Why are the merchants also looting for their livelihoods, but the merchants have united in unprecedented ways, just as they have united in unprecedented ways.

Unity is really a mess!

The second war of association meant that the Caribbean Sea began to move towards a new order after a brief period of chaos.

Different from the state-to-state order, the new order of pirates and merchants is full of jungle-like cruelty.

The small group of pirates tasted the sweetness of the gang and began to gather spontaneously. The big pirates were no longer satisfied with the strength of three or five ships and tried to build a larger fleet.

Hundreds of business associations have increasingly demonstrated the superiority of close cooperation.

The members of the association go out to sea together, share information, adjust the supply of goods through low internal prices, and break the market.

Lorraine is the first to allow members of the Chamber of Commerce to enjoy the same internal discounts as commodity transactions in the Drake Maritime Group, further reducing their operating costs such as ship purchases, ship repairs, and maintenance.

Snow flakes of application for joining the company flew to Morrow Castle. Even if the requirements for joining the company were raised, the number of members of the Baishang Association exceeded 300 on the eve of the signing of the "Paris Contract".

In 1783, the new war did not happen again, but 200 to 400 guns, a fleet-scale exchange of fire rarely seen in the old order, gradually became the norm. This normality is what Lorraine called the third stage of the pirate war. .

The third phase of the war in the eyes of the Drake Chamber of Commerce is a quagmire with endless treasures.

On the one hand, Pavlovomiu continued to use Lorraine's special identity to expand his own strength, gradually replacing Blackbeard as the number one enemy of the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

His existence keeps the Chamber of Commerce in crisis at all times, and this targeted plunder makes Drake's merchant ships, especially the fleet more prone to large-scale attacks.

On the one hand, the influence of the Baishang Associated Press has expanded rapidly. The member chambers of commerce are no longer limited to the New World, and their influence has also rapidly expanded to the other side of the Atlantic, becoming a dynamic leader in transoceanic trade.

In order to maintain his influence in associations and to deal with the increasingly powerful threat of pirates, Lorraine could hardly withdraw from the Caribbean Sea, which forced the Chamber of Commerce to slow down its expansion in Africa and the Mediterranean.

But overall, the benefits of pirate wars to Lorraine still far outweigh the troubles.

He thoroughly digested the smuggling dividend, and in September 1783, the first week after the announcement of the Paris Agreement, he visited Baltimore.

As a large British businessman, he invited Hamilton to privately in a coffee shop and used a fake gift to reactivate Edward Kenway's social network.

This unspeakable huge network has unparalleled power.

In October, Maritime Group acquired the Baltimore Lorester Shipbuilding Company, which owns 15% of the Hamilton family and 10% of the Adams family.

In November, the asset management company’s ownership transaction in Miami and the Bay of Biscay was approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce because it was not within the scope of the U.S. territory and the transaction tax was 30% off.

In the same month, the Americas Branch moved its headquarters to New York and purchased a large plot of land and a luxurious Dutch manor on the banks of the East River in Lower Manhattan. The deal was worth £100,000.

In January 1784, Carmen Xavier went to London and submitted assets appraisal materials to the London Stock Exchange at the Jonathan Café in Chais Alley.

In February, the General Association Asset Management Company was listed on the stock exchange, with a market value estimated at £2.94 million, ranking 27th among the British Millionaire Chamber of Commerce, a blockbuster.

In April, the Board of Directors of the General Chamber of Commerce decided to release 10% of the equity to raise development bonds for the development of the Miami area and the expansion of Maritime Group's production capacity.

Bonds have been enthusiastically sought after by the gentleman class in London, and the price of individual shares has risen again and again, finally raising funds of 1.14 million pounds.

In July, the Dame was delivered, and the special service formation was established. Pierce took command for the first time and went to Africa to expand business on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce.

In October, Sir Garman's messenger found Lorraine in Lucy and sent the Lord's last wish, hoping that Lorraine would preside over the funeral for him.

The elder’s last wish cannot be disobeyed, but the tension in the Caribbean is inseparable from Lorraine.

He delayed this reply for nearly half a month. Until mid-October, the Valkyrie came to good news. Karen said that the second round of sea trials had successfully concluded off Bermuda, and all the data met the design requirements. It can be delivered at the end of the month.

Lorraine found a chance for Jin Chan to escape.

Drake's war machine started rapidly, and it only took a week to build a powerful fleet of 52 armed merchant ships and 1,200 artillery with the directly-affiliated fleet as the backbone.

The fleet departed Lucy under the banner of revenge for the victims of Bridgetown, and divided into two groups in the waters of the Mona Islands. Command, actually led by Bell into the Strait of Anegada, actively provoked the end of the war, and aimed straight at the hard-core ally of Blackbeard, taking possession of Derrick, the great pirate in the Virgin Islands.

Lorraine, under the cover of the war, led the sailors on the Valkyrie, which had not yet been delivered, and rode the strong trade winds of the Atlantic high latitudes back to the long-lost black port of Stavanger...

...

"Unconsciously, it's been eight years..."

Stepping on the broad spine of the Silver Pegasus, Lorraine's expression was blank, and even the information that came to his ears became distant and close, making it hard to hear him.

Something seems to be scratching the back of his instep...

Lorraine lowered his head and saw that the grown white ears were looking at him pitifully.

"Meow."

Lorraine's face turned black: "You are already a big man. There are a few litters of various black cats in Lucy Manor. You are not allowed to sell cute!"

Bai Er heard the strings and knew it, turning over and twisting his waist without a word, and shamelessly revealed his chubby belly and... Tintin!

It's hard to see!

Lorraine sighed and turned his head, his eyes swept across the deck, and he saw the seamen who followed him up to the earth one by one.

Mr. France, who is already a father, but still romantic, is counting the ammunition of the gun.

The successful director of the Maritime Group cruised on the deck as usual.

The Vikings kicked and kicked and directed the stormtroopers to carry debris.

The crappy cook from the East banged the wok with a spoon, because the **** who was on his turn to help the cook secretly ran away from Lu Shengfan.

Ms. Assassin held the steering wheel seriously and found that Lorraine looked over and immediately showed a warm and clear smile.

There are witches on his ship who never dared to look directly at others, and the majestic and majestic lady general manager who even fell over the sea parrots. They are leaning on the railing of the stern cabin, smiling and waiting for the start. The order of the flight.

The only person who couldn't see was Mr. Ship Doctor who was secretly called Frankenstein by the sailors.

He would definitely lower his head in his cabin to decipher the secret text of Bu Laoquan. He has done this for four years, and the ghost knows that it will take a few four years...

Jenny and McCarthy flew over with a horrible howling, and landed on Lorraine's shoulders one by one.

Lorraine flicked Jenny's head and asked softly, "Are they all ready?"

"Crack!"

"It seems to be the same as I thought. They are the top team in the world, driving the most advanced battleship in the world, even if it is the so-called empire that does not set, they are not qualified to put it in their eyes..."

"Then... let's make a big fuss!"

Lorraine raised his arms high: "Raise, the Chamber of Commerce flag!"

"The **** is unfolding!" The sailors responded to Lorraine, shaking off the white **** flag with a bang at the towering mainmast.

"Raise, national flag!"

"St. George unfolds!" The back mast echoed, and the guardian of St. George of England waved in the wind.

"Raise, the battle flag!"

"The Ruthless Viking Banner, unfold!" Eddie hissed while waiting at the foremast.

He tremblingly pinched the corner of a brown flag and shook it vigorously, watching the sword and shield on the flag and the Garman emblem of the polar bear surging like waves, and couldn't help tears in his eyes.

Lorraine still held his arms high, and his calm eyes swept across the crowd.

"Drake has always upheld justice and justice."

"Those beautiful things have nothing to do with faith, country, race, identity, or other illusory things."

"We clung to them, stupidly, stubbornly, and hopelessly, treating them as beliefs, and finally got the approval."

"Northwest Europe preaches our greatness! The smoke of Cantabrian tells the legend that we are not afraid of power."

"The New World preaches our greatness! The entire pirate world regards us as natural enemies!"

"But now, there is a small, weak and poor country that doesn't know the so-called but calls us the Pirate Chamber of Commerce..."

"They shamelessly claim that the sun never sets! They shamelessly preach in every corner that they have discovered Africa for the world."

"They regard Africa as their possession. They treat the gold there, the gems there, the animals and plants there, and the intelligent species that have been born or will be born into civilizations, as their own products, and no one is allowed to touch them at all!"

"Whoever wants to snatch, they will slander someone!"

"They think they are powerful! The evil kings and incompetent nobles with fat brains think they can make everyone obey!"

"We are going to wake up their dreams."

"We will not bombard Lisbon, because it is not in accordance with the axioms. We will not anger the pitiful people, because that has lost justice."

"Let's teach them the navy that they are proud of, and defeat the Voyager-class battleship they consider to be invincible."

"We will use our guns and cannons to unreservedly show their decline to the whole world, and we will tear their wounds open and show them to every noble gentleman who has justice and justice in his heart."

"This is our respective god, giving each Drake a great mission!"

"who are we?"

Lorraine raised his head and looked directly at the flying **** flag.

"We are the invincible Drake!"

"who are we?"

On the rear mast, the guardian of St. George blew up the wind.

"We are Englands unparalleled in the world!"

"who are we?"

The battle flag of Harald the Ruthless responded to Lorraine.

"We are Vikings!"

"Even the ice and snow of the extreme north cannot bury brave Vikings! It is not pure blood, it is the power that makes the whole world tremble!"

"If the sun in Portugal does not set, we will make a sunset."

"Let's go down the sun."

"Valkyrie, war order, set sail!"

Heavy breathing...

Lorraine’s long mobilization didn’t get a response for a long time, and the people on the boat panted and played back in their minds over and over again...

Until a certain moment!

"Captain Order, set sail!!!"

"Prepare for departure!"

"Anchor!"

"No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 anchor chains are up!"

"The bow is off the cable!"

"Relief of the fixed rope at the terminal~lightnovelpub.net~Recycling of the boat rope!"

"Full sail, reverse!"

"Clearance of the rear sea area! Clearance of the Gulf route!"

"Warning roll! Full rudder right!"

"The rudder is full to the right, turn!"

"The Boken Fjord is clear! The wind is north-northeast, the wind speed is seven knots, and the sea is full of waves!"

"Target the Sultanate of Muscat, heading west, with full sails!"

"The mainmast, fore mast, and rear mast raise the sails! The deck is forbidden, and no one is allowed to enter the cabin!"

"The flagship of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, Valkyrie, set sail!"
