In the past two years, Pierce has experienced considerable growth in all aspects.

　　 This kind of growth is holistic and comprehensive, and it is reflected in the debriefing, which means that the report is not only concise and clear, but also exaggerated, leaving enough room for old Dylan to supplement his background and characters.

　　 This is also the most satisfactory place in Lorraine.

　　 Among the people present, Lorraine and Carmen are familiar with Pierce’s two years of experience.

　　Because the Secret Service fleet is directly affiliated to the fleet, in accordance with the procedures, each branch must obtain Lorraine’s permission to use them, request instructions beforehand, and report later.

　　 But except for Lorraine and Carmen, others have only heard of the whereabouts of the secret service formation in the past two years, and most of them are scattered and unsystematic.

　　 Dylan’s supplement made it easy for Favna, who had never paid attention to the direct formation, to understand the cause and effect of the matter. In Lorraine’s view, this was the key factor for a successful debriefing.

　　 Pierce continued to report on his duties.

"When I first arrived in Gibraltar, I didn’t know anything about Barbary pirates. It’s just that Admiral Artest said that the three pirates had been rampant in the Mediterranean for more than two hundred years, totaling more than 300 armed merchant ships, and they were different from Turkish merchants. Their boats range from Arabic to European style, and even some Eastern hard sailing boats."

　　 "In addition, the Barbary pirates are very cunning. In the Eastern Mediterranean business war, we have a large number of allies. European merchants against Turkish merchants have advantages in both quality and quantity of the fleet."

　　 "In the war with Barbary, Barbary relaxed the restrictions on other European merchant ships. We are fighting alone. We are at a disadvantage in terms of quality and quantity, a great disadvantage..."

Pierce, who first arrived in Gibraltar, was still the impulsive and lacking steadfast Pierce. Artest’s introduction failed to frighten him. In fact, Pierce at that time was eager to prove himself. He was more happy than worried about the strength of his opponent. .

After receiving the task, he began to plan the war. He persuaded Sir Thayer to suspend the supply of the Chamber of Commerce to the Mediterranean Sea, and spent half a month preparing a 30 ships, including 5 Brigentine and 2 Brig. fleet.

　　 On April 3, 1786, Miami was preparing to establish the Indian Labor Company. The fleet was escorted by a special service formation to Alexandria, Egypt, and did not pay taxes to any Barbary pirates in accordance with the usual practice.

　　 This is the first time!

　　 Prior to this, although the Barbary pirates targeted Drake, Sir Thayer, with his many years of dealings in the Mediterranean, still managed to maintain the regular tax payment against the crowd.

　　 Barbary pirates also had his friends. It was the cooperation between the inside and outside of the two sides that allowed the Chamber of Commerce to barely maintain a hard-won business base despite losses.

　　 But because of Pierce's special identity, this customary path was finally completely broken in two.

　　 On the night of April 7, a fierce battle broke out in the Tunis Strait in the western waters of Sicily.

　　 In this battle, the Barbary pirates dispatched more than 50 pirate ships with a crew of more than 4,000 people, and Pierce led the battle with a special service formation.

　　 Fierce battle lasted for one day and night. The Dame and the Future locked the Barbary flagship, the 50-door Arabian galleon, the Lesvos, with a successful maneuver attack, and the pirates collapsed.

　　 The summary of this battle Lorraine saw it a long time ago.

The Dame slaughtered all quarters, wounding and sinking 16 pirate ships in the battle for nearly 18 hours. The Barbary pirates sank 17 ships and wounded 22 ships, including the 50-class and 40-class admiral ships. .

　　 But Pierce himself is not comfortable.

　　 The Tunis Strait is too wide, the wind in the Mediterranean Sea is too low, and the fighting is chaotic and fragmented.

　　 Cenozoic broke mast and broke, Mirai was broken, Fremani was injured. In addition, 8 two-masted two-masted ships, including the Sunflower, were sunk three times and three were wounded, and the twenty-odd Skunas used as bait sank 13 ships.

　　 Pierce was forced to abandon the original sailing plan to Alexandria, and the whole ship turned to France and entered the Port of Toulon for repairs.

　　 In the study, Pierce frowned.

　　 "This battle is my carelessness." He said, "I underestimated the Mediterranean climate, where the wind is too small, and our high-speed ship's advantage is greatly reduced, especially the obvious lack of control over the battlefield."

　　 "But this battle is not without gain. Compared with the desperadoes in the Caribbean, the Barbary thieves, who have been vast in their ancestors, have been at ease in small ponds in the Mediterranean for too long."

　　 "They have long degenerated into a mob. In my opinion, the Barbary Kingdom is just a bunch of paper sharks!"

　　 Pierce’s declaration is exactly the same as the report he sent back to Miami.

　　 The Sicilian naval battle had a profound impact. The European branch has paid a heavy loss, and the entire Mediterranean has also seen how aggressive the Drake Chamber of Commerce is different from other chambers of commerce.

　　 The business road has become unblocked, and perhaps the friction with Barbary has never stopped, but Drake no longer pays high taxes, and the frequency and scale of friction have not been upgraded accordingly.

　　 Both sides are restraining.

　　 On April 25, Pierce left the special service fleet being repaired in Toulon and returned to Southampton on the Sunflower, preparing to request a batch of excellent sailors from Ramos.

　　In Ramos's office, he unexpectedly met Cortrance, the ocean-going admiral of the American branch who was escorting the transoceanic fleet.

　　 A bold idea began to sprout in Pierce's young heart.

　　 After that, in May, Drake suddenly reduced freight to the Mediterranean and voluntarily resumed paying taxes. The Barbary pirates thought that Drake was beginning to be unable to bear the loss, and became domineering again, declaring that they would avenge the Battle of Sicily and let Drake withdraw from the Mediterranean.

　　Sir Thayer urged the three Pashas of Barbary to maintain the business environment in the Mediterranean, but every time he was humiliated.

　　 This episode will be played until June 16.

　　 On June 16, Sir Thayer failed in his last negotiation and formally declared war on the Barbary pirates in the Port of Toulon.

　　 On June 17, a large fleet of white-flag pirate flags set sail from the Spanish port of A Coruña, converged directly under the fleet in Gibraltar, and marched towards the Mediterranean.

　　 This fleet is composed of the special service formation and the second formation directly under the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the Drake American Chapter, the European Chapter, the African Chapter, and the seven hard-core allies of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in Northwest Europe.

　　 The flagship Attis Noble Lady, Admiral Pierce Attis.

　　 The first squadron consists of two frigates, eight destroyers, 16 Brig and Brigentine, and the commander is the deputy admiral of the fleet and the ocean-going admiral of the Americas Division Struns.

　　 The second squadron consists of six destroyers, Brig and Brigentine 12 ships, the commander is the deputy admiral of the fleet, directly under the deputy admiral of the special service formation Dylan Spooners.

　　 The third squadron consists of nine destroyers, Brig and Brigentine 17 ships, and the commander is the deputy admiral of the fleet, directly under the admiral of the second formation, Frehn, who is famous for his mouth and love complaints.

　　 The Fourth Squadron consists of one frigate, seven destroyers, nine Brig and Brigentine, and the commander is the deputy admiral of the fleet and the African branch admiral Barto.

　　 This very large fleet with a strong Drake color was summoned by Pierce's special identity and rumbling towards the Kingdom of Barbary like an avalanche.

On June 18, the Pierce fleet and the Barbary pirates first battled in the Balearic Islands. The First, Third, and Fourth Squadrons relied on the complex seas and dense artillery of the islands to resist the attack of nearly a hundred pirate ships. Pierce was led by the full-speed After the second squadron composed of ships circumvented the island, the pirates were defeated.

After defeating the pirates, Barto led the first and fourth squadrons to go south to surround Algiers~lightnovelpub.net~ Pierce will direct the second and third squadrons with the direct fleet as the backbone to the Barbary pirates In the heart of the Tunisian port.

　　 On June 21, Pierce defeated the perimeter defense.

　　 On June 22, Pierce began bombarding Tunisia.

　　 On June 23, Barto began bombarding Algiers.

　　 On June 26, the joint mission of the three Pashas from Barbary visited Gibraltar.

　　 On June 27th, the joint fleet ceased its shelling, and the two sides started negotiations at the Port Authority of Rabat, the colonial capital of Morocco.

The Drake side was attended by Ramos, the European Chapter President, Thayer, and the African Chapter President Eddie. The three Pashas on the Barbary side were all represented. In addition, the seven chambers of commerce participating in the war also had representatives. Attendance, representatives of four chambers of commerce from Turkey attended.

　　 On July 9, the Rabat Agreement was announced, and all participants participated in the alliance.

　　The agreement stipulates that the members of the alliance respect the Kingdom of Barbary’s maintenance of the Mediterranean business order, but the maintenance fee collected within the agreement framework shall not be higher than 0.5% of the total value of the goods, and the maximum per ship shall not be greater than 20 pounds.

　　 Within the framework of the agreement, armed attacks are not allowed in any form. Disputes are submitted to the agreement committee for judgment. At the same time, the Kingdom of Barbary must unconditionally release the captured persons of the alliance members.

　　The lowest bargaining system for commerce and trade is implemented within the framework of the agreement. When internal commercial competition occurs, the lowest bargaining price must be followed, and price wars must not be initiated. A total of 66 items in 7 major items.

　　 On July 11, the Pierce fleet was withdrawn, and the Barbary Chamber of Commerce war ended.
