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

"Solid bullets ready!"

"All guns are available, three shots are fired quickly. One shot is ready, let go!"

Boom boom boom boom!

The sudden thunder smashed the tranquility of the night. Dozens of dark red Venus stars rose from the eastern rock of Muscat Bay, whizzing and sliding across the night sky, toward the vast and sunken coastal sea.

This wave of meteors has not yet landed, the second thunder, and the second round of stars, the red glow of the sky shining red in the sky, flashing one end of the moon, and then drilling out from the other end, whirling to the ground.

boom!

The first roar, then the second, the third, the dozens and hundreds, countless meteors crashed in one after another, the fishing boat buckled, the building collapsed, and the screams overwhelmed the roar of the cannons and the fire. Emerging from the dark abyss.

The fire spread rapidly, from the ground to the sea, from the port area to the pier, half of the sky was reflected in red, presenting the gorgeous and miserable in front of all the spectators.

The guests of the Valkyrie opened their mouths one by one.

Mr. Melidori of the Netherlands felt his heart trembling unsuspectingly.

Obviously... it's just a kind of fire spreading from civilization to the wild, with the goodness of God and the beauty of human nature entrusted in it, why... is it so thrilling?

He felt pressure and suffocation. He breathed like a drowning man, raised his arm tremblingly, and slid between the dock and Dongyan.

"Mr. Drake, those..."

"Those who try to use naval guns against shore artillery are either lunatics or idiots. I have nothing to do with either. If I want to find my reputation in Muscat, I will naturally find another way."

"But Dongyan...I remember Dongyan..."

"It's the unbreakable castle of Milani." Mr. Ilic of France added solemnly. "My friends in the navy call it a hedgehog. It lies on a cliff beyond the reach of all naval guns. There is only a two-person wide path connecting the sea. , Even the Marines are helpless!"

But Drake fell...

This is a sentence that no one said, but it sounded in everyone's heart at the same time.

Against the background of this sentence, the tragedy of the bay suddenly became ordinary, because the mystery attracted more attention.

Lorraine spread out his hands innocently: "Gentlemen and gentlemen, there are no secrets, no miracles. Milani may be a difficult castle for soldiers to fall into, but I am a businessman, and a cup of black tea is enough when appropriate. Tons of shells are more accurate and lethal."

Emmons, who made no sound all night, suddenly sneered in the corner: "So you invite the Omani in Milani to drink a cup of tea, and they offer the castle, allowing you to sprinkle tons of flowering bombs on their capital and burn them. Their citizens?"

"Believe it or not, this is what surprised me."

Lorraine turned around and looked at the burning bonfire beyond the sea.

"My Marine Corps brought ten ground guns. Because of the unpleasant civilian list restrictions, they were all antique light guns that were eliminated from the last Anglo-French war. Of course, the stability of the sea-going ship could not deliver bombs."

"Milani has thirty cannons. The older shore artillery was left behind by the Portuguese when they were driven out of Muscat. Obviously they couldn't shoulder the heavy responsibility of firing bombs, even if they prepared them in the castle. A terrifying ammunition."

"With a range of 2 to 3 kilometers and a temperature of more than ten degrees Celsius, can a solid bomb cause a fire? Yes. Can it burn the entire impact area so efficiently? It stands to reason..."

boom!

A loud noise interrupted Lorraine’s self-defense. In front of them, a huge coastal fort built of dozens of tons of rock and rock flew high into the sky. Driven by the bright tongue of fire, it rolled over Hell. Yi, smashed half of the street.

Wan Lai is silent...

Lorraine slapped his fist in his palm, his expression full of joy and relief.

"I remember, when I released the second prince of the sultan earlier, I told him that I would use the captured warships and merchant ships as a precursor to force a landing and capture the pier."

"How is it actually possible? There are eight Greek fires with a range of up to 50 meters on the coastal fort. Even if Valkyrie is invulnerable, as a wooden ship, she is afraid of fire."

...

Greek fire, an original fire-breathing device invented in the seventh century, using petroleum and crude oil as the main fuel.

It used to be the nightmare of the Arabs. On the sea and on land, this terrible flame ejected from a brass tube and attached to anything burned countless times to break the Arab world's attack on Constantinople.

In 717 AD, the Arabian Caliph Omar II launched an army of 100,000 and 2560 warships to surround Constantinople. The siege lasted for eight months. The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo III attacked with the Greek Fire Fleet and destroyed the Caliphate fleet in one fell swoop with the spring wind. Only five warships escaped the catastrophe.

That battle completely ignited the prestige of the Greek fire, and Europe, under the influence of Rome, used arson ships as a standard configuration in the fleet until the second Anglo-Dutch War in the 17th century.

No one knows the threat of flames to ships at sea, but no one would have thought that Lorraine was so deliberate. Long before the blockade of the Muscat Gulf, he had used this kind of natural enemy restraint to induce the Sultanate to build up at the docks. A lot of oil.

He does not have a bomb, but how can the fuel stored in a 50-meter-long fuel pump with an eight-door jet arc be comparable to tens of thousands of small bombs?

The pagans... really are all out-and-out demons!

The distinguished guests looked at Lorraine with horrified eyes, and Lorraine looked back at them with a guilty expression, like a noble gentleman in grief, sad and innocent life disappearing in the flames, because he failed to abide by the suicide attack.

"It would be great if I kept my promise." Lorraine's eyes seemed to say so.

The stalemate was a little too long. Lorraine did not expect that the gentlemen who were in Africa would have an easy and innocent side, and could only take the initiative to break the stalemate.

"Gentlemen, peace." He immediately picked the topic to the horizon, "Businessman is not an executioner, I am not an executioner. In fact, long before the board of directors decided to start this war, I had begun to preview peace in my heart."

"How is peace achieved? How is it achieved? By whom? When will it be achieved?"

"Drake has a plan for this war. Because it is a business, one of our many businesses is not the one that puts the most capital, nor the most energy, nor the most time. "

"It may be determining the life or death of a country, but it has nothing to do with Drake. It has nothing to do with Drake. It has nothing to do with Drake. We always have only one criterion, and that is profit."

Lorraine clapped his hands lightly, and several sailors walked out of the cabin, holding a delicate new suitcase with a code lock.

Sharon walked over to open them, pulled out a stack of beautifully bound documents from them, and handed them to the observers of the friendly chamber of commerce with the clover stamp, and the manager Baker and Emmons with the Scottish plaid. superior.

Lorraine patted Manager Baker's hand lightly, and made a silent gesture without a trace.

"Gentlemen, this is the "Muscat Joint Prosperity Agreement" drafted by Drake for this peace. The content includes a master copy and three supplementary copies. They have a common party, Muscat. For the Sultanate, the principal second party is the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and the content is my reasonable request for this peace. The attached copies belong to the Peroli Chamber of Commerce in Rabat, Spain, the Rotaseri Chamber of Commerce in Dakar, and France. The Dutch Ibasta Chamber of Commerce in Swellendam is the chamber of commerce you represent."

"what?!"

The three observers were shocked, not only for the fact that Lorraine hadn't even seen the alliance under the city, but also because they actually existed in this alliance under the city.

At this moment, Carmen smiled and stood up, gently turning over the text for the three of them, until they reached the supplementary page corresponding to them.

"If you understand Drake's development in the Caribbean, you will know that benefit sharing is a principle Drake has always adhered to." She said softly, "Muscat is a feast, Drake Neither the ability to swallow an elephant nor the willingness to enjoy food alone."

"We prefer to treat this war as a dance party for making friends~lightnovelpub.net~ The attached contract is an invitation, and the decision whether to participate or not is up to you."

Mr. Melidori of the Netherlands felt that his mouth did not close tonight. He stammered and asked: "But... but we need a dress and a carriage to participate in the ball. We may not have time to prepare..."

"45 days." Lorraine spit out a number. "This is the length of time I planned to bomb Muscat."

"The Sunflower is the fastest brig of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, with a speed of 18 knots. It will take you 7 days to travel from here to Swellendam, 15 days to Dakar, and 16 days to Rabat. This means You have enough time to persuade the board of directors to buy a dress and a carriage. The only thing that can stop you from making a toast at the opening is willingness."

"Ask yourself, gentlemen." Carmen whispered like a little devil in front of the three observers. "The Sunflower's plank is already on the starboard side of Valkyrie. Step on it, and Drake will have the real African friends..."
