Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 526: REBIRTHXIV: Shaq is back

The tea is very fragrant and the night is long.

English tea is well-known for its Zhongzheng and mellow tea. Even late tea will not make it too strong. This is very different from Scotland and Ireland, which are good for drinking strong tea. The ethereal fragrance of tea is intoxicating.

Of course, that's just Lorraine's feelings alone.

The British Isles’ tea has its own characteristics, and each has huge loyalty and support. As long as the tea ceremony is connected, what kind of tea is actually not the key.

The key is oppression.

Bullying, bullying, and constantly conveying attitude from the minutiae, like a repeater, repeatedly let Emmons recognize the reality, let him put aside those unrealistic fantasy.

In other words, it is to make him sober and calm.

Emmons has generally recovered his calm, which is Lorraine's credit and Lorraine's wish.

After all, Lorraine's purpose was not to extract a confession.

If a person's spirit is in a state of instability for a long time, it is easier for him to tell the truth that he usually does not want to say, but it is also easier for him to tell the imagination that he has never had before.

And in this special period of sensitivity and suspicion, imagination will ruin everything.

Emmons took a deep breath.

"Mr. President, is going to see the general?"

"Maybe, maybe not, this is not something you should care about."

"Then you think he is in the New World?"

Lorraine shook his head: "I know he is still in the post of deputy chief of staff. Although there are rumors of transfer, the formal appointment has not been made. With the contacts of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, he can't find out where he is going next."

"The transfer order has come down." Emmons said, "To be precise, the general's transfer order has gone through the entire process and will be formally issued in early March. He will return to the New World. One of my tasks this time is for him. Stand before hitting."

Lorraine swept the rim of the cup and pondered for a moment: "He will return to the New World, that is to say... Sir Peter Parker's term is over?"

"Although it's not the same thing..." Emmons nodded, "General Parker's term is over, and his departure will be around May. The Admiralty has taken a fancy to his friendship with the general and hopes that some adjustments will be implemented by both of them. Achieve a smooth transition."

"Adjustment?"

Emmons shrugged: "The United States is independent. In order to express our goodwill, Bermuda, the former Continental Squadron base, is no longer suitable to continue to assume such a major military role. The Royal Navy Dockyard will be downgraded and only retain a small defense formation. "

"The anchor port of the Continental Squadron moved from Bermuda to Newfoundland. Geographically speaking, the distance from Jamaica is too far, and it is no longer conducive to unified command... Although originally, the New Continental Squadron and the Continental Squadron did not have many upper and lower levels. Exchange, but this time the Admiralty officially separated them."

"The Department of the Navy will form a new North American fleet, upgrade its ranks, and increase its organization. While suppressing the new United States, it will protect the increasingly stressed Canadian coastline. The New World Fleet, which has been reduced in defense areas, will be downsized to reduce Great Britain’s military expenditures in the New World. Pressure, the general idea is this."

Emmons didn't care about whether his words would reveal military secrets, and there was no hesitation and consideration in his words.

"The new North American fleet is based on the second formation of the original Continental Squadron, including the first-class ship HMS Neptune, the third-class ship HMS Lion, HMS Mars, 4 frigates, 6 destroyers and more than 20 ships. A variety of frigates, the Lion will continue to serve as the admiral’s flagship."

"The general will be promoted to Admiral of the Blue Flag during this transfer and become the first admiral of the North American fleet. Communication with Sir Parker, the establishment of the Admiral’s House in advance, and the arrival of the chief in Newfoundland is my first mission in the New World. ."

Too... unexpected.

I have to say it was too unexpected.

Shaq is about to return to the New World, and he is the only one of the above-mentioned generals, commanding a super fleet with a first-class battleship.

The first class battleship is the super sea beast at the top of the current marine ecological chain. It has a 70-meter-class body, 13 stories or more, 108 to 112 naval guns, and a total drainage of more than 3,000 tons.

Even if it is as powerful as the Royal British Navy, there are only seven warships like this one. Among them is the HMS Victory, which is known as a symbol of British hegemony by later generations, and became famous during Nelson's Battle of Trafalgar.

More importantly, first-tier battleships will never serve for no reason. Most of the time, they were properly housed in dry and advanced naval docks to maintain timber. Like nuclear bombs in later generations, they are regarded as the foundation of a country's armaments and strategic strength.

In the Royal Navy, only the mainland and the Strait fleets, two in the mainland and one in the strait, can be used as a regular configuration of the first-class ships. Because they are responsible for protecting the security of the British homeland, no matter how much they pay attention to, they will not arouse the imagination of other countries.

But besides these two fleets, does the UK have any other fleets equipped with first-class ships?

there is none left.

The treasure of the New World Fleet is the second-class battleship Prince of Wales. The African fleet guarding Cape Town also regards the second-class ship as its strongest combat capability.

Asia...India seems to be equipped with two second-tier ships, and the Mediterranean Fleet, the second strongest in the British navy after the mainland, relies on as many as ten third-tier ships and four second-tier ships, and there is also no one in the organization. The existence of class ships.

HMS Neptune, as the fourth first-class ship in active service in the Royal Navy, what brought her to the new land of Haiyan Heqing?

Could it be said that the situation in Canada is so severe? Or... the United Kingdom still has an obsession with the rich thirteen states in North America?

Will this be the horn of another all-out war?

A sharp alarm sounded in Lorraine's mind. The alarm sound was blocked layer by layer and weakened layer by layer. When the feedback came back to his face, finally there was only a trace of curiosity with a little doubt.

"The noble Baron Tavistock has actually been promoted again... The dignified admiral, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, your majesty celebrity, the Admiralty has given him even a baby-like first-class ship, why did he return it? Keep yourself aboard the little Lion? Do you remember it?"

"No one can guess the general's mind, you know, he doesn't like to analyze himself in front of others." Emmons stretched out his hand helplessly.

"He really doesn't like to put his heart to himself with unrelated people, but you are his close person and his trusted adviser."

"I really don't know. The general didn't tell me anything." Emmons said regretfully. "I guess he might be willing to tell you."

"You suggest that I meet him?"

"Obviously you are ready to meet the general. As a loyal servant of the general, I just try my best to provide some interesting topics for this long-awaited reunion."

"Some topics..." Lorraine gave Emmons a deep look. "It seems that you have successfully recovered your intelligence, Mr. Colonel."

"Next let us get to the topic, please tell me about another mission on your body. I mean the important mission that is related to me, enough to allow you to bypass Kingston and Sir Parker and visit Miami secretly..."
