Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 440: 1 Straight out of luck

Bell has been very unlucky.

   It is probably that the supreme luck when holding the steering wheel has overdrawn God's favor for him. In Lorraine's impression, as long as he concentrates on doing something, it will definitely not go smoothly.

   This was the case when he left the navy and went to Lorraine, when he pursued Orphee, and this time he bought back the family title.

   The last smuggling dividend was made in 1781, when Bell's net worth exceeded 60,000 pounds.

   This should be a real number.

  Because Bell's life is very frugal, he rarely spends money when he is abroad, and he rarely buys anything for himself when he returns to Hong Kong to rest.

   From the years, Lorraine can learn about Bell's expenses, the two biggest penalties are related to Orphee.

   One of them was a 10th-century Indian jewel crest made by Carmen as a birthday gift for Orphee, worth 1300 pounds.

   At that time, Offie was trying to ease the relationship with the small tribe of Lucy Manor. Because of this gift, she was cut down in favor of her actions. Offie regarded this as Bell's mockery of her pros and cons.

   The other is that I was bewitched by Yazha and bought a piece of rose garden and transplanted it to Lucy Manor, worth 800 pounds.

This matter was done very secretly. Offi always thought that the rose garden was a project that Lorraine bought to decorate the manor. Not only did he send a special flower farmer to take care of it every day, but based on the girl’s desire to love beauty, he also pulled Mo in all directions. Together, Nika took a small shovel to take care of it.

   Ofi put a lot of effort into Hanada, taking them as the spiritual sustenance of the job.

So staying until the season of blooming flowers, she fell asleep dreaming of a garden full of delicate flowers, and when she woke up, she suddenly found that the beautiful things with dewdrops and budding were cut off with scissors and piled up on her bed. side……

   This homicide almost led to a real homicide. If it weren't for Monica's desperate drag, Offi would poke a small flower shovel into Bell's forehead that day.

   In any case, the only two unsuccessful courtships that Bell has spent the entire two years.

   He carried out a big plan without everyone else. At the end of 1782, he asked for leave and returned to England. Through a so-called gentleman who had a relationship with the House of Lords, he began to rush for the family title.

   Lorraine got the news that in September 1783, Bell invested almost 30,000 pounds, and the title was still far away, and even the noble gentleman had disappeared.

   He was cheated.

   Lorraine briefly investigated the background of the Sir William Robbie Ferguson through the network of England, and found that he was actually in prison and was a notorious habitual offender in the London area.

   This gentleman was jailed three times within five years and successfully defrauded 16 times. The total amount of fraud exceeded 31,700 pounds, and Bell contributed more than 90% of his hanging force.

   Bell returned to the Caribbean with a heartbroken heart, and got drunk at Lucy Manor.

   That night, he hummed on the violin on Offie’s balcony, sang all the stupid things he had done in the past few years with the instigation of alcohol, and unexpectedly moved Offie.

   Misfortune and blessing depend on.

  The relationship between Bell and Offie has made qualitative progress because of a liar, and Lorraine finally understands the key reason for his good friend's perennial frugality.

   He had a frank talk with Bell and determined that money could really play a role in restoring the title. Then he suggested that Bell go to Carmen and borrow a certain amount of money from the Association in the form of advances.

   Bell quickly borrowed 30,000 pounds from Carmen at a low annual interest rate of 5%, while Lorraine dutifully continued to play the role of savior and began to write letters for Bell.

   He wrote four letters in total.

   A letter to Nelson.

   The two sides have always maintained a stable correspondence, so Lorraine knew that Nelson is now fighting with Prince William and Lord Hood, and both have great influence in the House of Lords.

   A letter to Jero Mindel of the Offshore Guild.

  The offshore guild has developed rapidly because of the growth of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and Ramos has never intended to challenge the chairman of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce. The former three chambers of commerce alliance is still a good strategic partner.

  Hierro's brother Sir Mindel has always had a good reputation and influence in the House of Commons. Although it is not right, he can still play a role in Bell's issue.

   A letter to their common mentor, Sir Layton.

   No one has ever underestimated the influence of Sea School in the political arena of Great Britain. Sir Layton likes Bell very much. In this matter, he will definitely do his best.

   The last letter, Lorraine wrote to Archbishop Perwick of Westminster Abbey, the Holy See of the Anglican Church, the religious leader second only to the king.

   Few people know that Lorraine, a heretic, has a good friendship with the holiest creatures in Great Britain, and this friendship is not made by Lorraine now, but by the little Lorraine in the past.

   Whether it is utilitarian or similar in spirit, after so many years, Lorraine and Archbishop Berwick have maintained a not-so-close correspondence.

The two parties talked about religion, belief, personal will and social will, the dialectical relationship between philosophy and science, etc. in the letter. They were the kind of friends who could be entrusted but not easily used, but for the sake of Bell, Lorraine decided to ask the archbishop to mediate. .

   This heavenly group continued to play a role in the subsequent time. After a year and 50,000 pounds of investment, the title of Breed finally returned to the embrace of the Judea family.

   That Michael St. Braid Judea, who didn’t know he was born or not, would become the fifth Earl of St. Braid. Before Michael had children, Bell was the first heir to his son, and Bell's sister Eliza was second.

   Lorraine intervened strongly in the succession issue of Earl Breed. Once negotiations and social interactions were handled by the Southampton lawyers, Bell was able to free up his hands to focus on his life and work.

He married Orphee and had a child. He deducted half of the dividend in 1784 to pay off the advance interest for the next three years and the employment expenses of the lawyers. At the end of 1984, he took over the direct fleet as the first deputy admiral. The name of Dominion led the pirate war against the great pirate Derrick.

   In all, this should be the first time that Bell has presided over a fleet-level war.

But unlike Pierce’s lackluster and young performance, Bell used his talent inspiration to fight a master-level control battle, cleverly dealing with colonial countries for six months, and bringing many prestigious pirates. Playing between applause.

   month, a total of 20 armed merchant ships from the First Squadron of the Crusade Fleet cut into the Anegada Strait under the leadership of Bell.

   Three days later, Catalina led the second squadron with 36 ships and cut into the Mona Strait, slowly moving towards the island of Saint Thomas in the middle of the archipelago.

   Their actions naturally aroused the vigilance of the pirate world.

On the second day after Catalina broke into the archipelago, Blackbeard called for the 12 pirate regiments and 17 famous lone pirates in this sea area to join the British colonial capital of Rhodes Town Secret Association, to elect Derrick as the admiral. The Blood Lynx Governor Setia is the deputy admiral, forming a powerful fleet of 82 ships.

   Dereky divided the fleet into three parts. The first squadron was headed by Dereky, and a total of 30 ships battled the Anegada Strait.

   The Second Squadron was led by Governor Setia, and 43 warships fought in the Strait of Mona.

The third squadron has only 9 warships, including the Queen Anne's Revenge, the only supporter of the Blackbeard Pirates against the Viking thieves. The eight lone pirates in the entire fleet, led by Blackbeard, are guerrillas. Two lines.

On the day, Catalina was attacked in the northern waters of Mona Island. Because the marching formation was scattered, the squadron was collapsed, and most of the ships fled north, leaving only five ships to retreat to the entrance of the Mona Strait under the leadership of Catalina. The port of Managüez, where the shore artillery system was used, was stubbornly resisting.

   On the day, Bell and the First Squadron met an enemy off Tortola Island. Under Bell’s calm command, the two sides quickly fought into a see-saw.

   On the day, Blackbeard attacked the flank and cut open the Bell formation~lightnovelpub.net~ The First Squadron sank one ship and captured two ships.

   Sun, most of the Second Squadron that had escaped in the Battle of Mona fell from the sky and broke through the rear wing of the Derrick fleet. Bell seized the warplane and descended from the sky with a one to contain Blackbeard, and the main battle group approached the chaotic Derrick fleet.

   Dereky was defeated, three ships were sunk, five ships were captured, and the previous battle losses of the two sides, the final capture ratio was 5 to 12, and the Tortola naval battle ended with Bell's victory.

   This wide-ranging side attack shot Derrick half to death.

  His pirate regiment originally had only twelve ships. Ten of them remained in the archipelago and joined the combined fleet. Five of them were arranged by him in the relatively stable rear wing.

  Who knew that this time the rear wing was almost completely destroyed, and Derrick was the first to bear the brunt. Not only did he become the one who suffered the most, but even his position as the leader of the pirate fleet was almost shaken.

   Bell scored a good start and lured the enemy out of Katerina to relieve the siege. The war entered a relatively gentle stalemate...

   In the room, Lorraine listened to Bell's lazy report and changed to a comfortable sitting position.

   "According to your statement, you already won the first battle. Derrick, who lost half of his money, refused to convince the unruly pirates. As long as you win the pursuit, you can end the war while they command chaos?"

"If the purpose of this battle was really to defeat Derrick, I would have done it a long time ago." Bell drew his ears. "But you can't come back. I can only give them a chance to catch their breath. I just didn't expect this. After a breath, Derrick actually breathed in the main force of Blackbeard..."
