Reborn As a Pirate

　　 Relying on the will of Lorraine, the Drake Chamber of Commerce began to actively prepare for the transition from offshore to the Intercontinental Chamber of Commerce.

　　 This will be a complicated and difficult process, and the first difficulty facing them is the Atlantic Ocean between Europe and America.

　　 Atlantic Ocean, storm sea...

Among 　　 flagship seafarers, only Lorraine, Acharin and Karen have had a handful of ocean-going experience. But among the three of them, none of them had personally directed the crossing operation.

　　 To put it simply, in the next action, everyone is a newcomer at a loss.

　　 This group of newcomers will sail on the endless ocean for a month, and the time will only be extended, not shortened.

　　 Food, fresh water, the mental and physical health of sailors, unexpected situations that may occur along the way, there are numerous...

　　In order to be responsible for their lives, they need to consider all aspects.

　　Lorraine considers sailors first.

　　 The full capacity of the five-tier Galenic destroyer is 250 people, and the minimum capacity is 50 people.

　　The fewer the number of sailors, the stronger their endurance and the weaker their ability to deal with danger.

　　 How many sailors should I bring?

　　 After weighing the pros and cons, Lorraine decided to select 150 sailors to board the ship.

　　 This number takes into account sailing, combat and daily dressing.

　　 The Golden Deer has 40 guns, excluding the bow and stern guns, 16 on each side, 10 of which are 18-pound and 6 are twelve-pound.

　　Because they are all advanced flintlock cannons, their firing efficiency is much higher than that of the Pansy, but at the same time the demand for gunners has been reduced.

　　 The gunner requirement for the 18-pounder gun is 7 people, and the 12-pounder gun is 5 people. Lorraine prepares 100 gunners to ensure that at the time of the battle, the single-side fire can be fully opened without affecting the manpower of the ship.

　　 In a non-combat sailing state, 150 sailors can be divided into six groups, enough to ensure adequate rest and rotation.

　　 determined the number of people, Lorraine began to select sailors.

　　 The musket team of the Butterfly Flower must be brought on board, and the 50 backbone sailors who used to be used on the Hyacinth are also loyal subordinates that can be counted on, so there are 60 people left...

　　 Lorraine handed over 30 places to Acharin and asked him to select the backbone of the gunners, and the remaining half would be recruited by Karen, as long as there are sea veterans with ocean-going experience.

　　 The second step, food and water...

　　 Lorraine called Wang Ye directly and asked straightforwardly: "There is a method of pickling vegetables in the Qing Dynasty, do you know how?"

　　 The king also had a ghostly expression on his face: "Captain, you are a native English nobleman, how do you even know the kimchi of the Qing Dynasty?"

　　 "Don't care where I know, just tell me, yes or no?"

　　 "Pickled radishes, pickled cabbage, pickled cucumbers, pickled peppers, although I have never done them, I know how to do them."

"After the experiment, prepare the quantity for the whole ship for two months, and pack it in oak barrels... and green tea. You need to prepare a lot of green tea. You don’t need to be high-end. All sailors should drink it when sailing. You can also prepare a little lemon, which is a bit expensive. It's easy to break, so prepare less..."

　　The king also blinked his eyes: "Captain, are you going to let the sailors eat fast at sea?"

　　 "These things are the nemesis of scurvy..." Lorraine paused and said with no confidence, "I heard someone say in Cambridge."

　　 "A Cambridge scholar told you that pickled vegetables can cure scurvy?"

　　 "Not only pickled vegetables, but also soybeans. Soaked soybeans in water are used to cultivate bean sprouts, which are delicious and inexpensive."

　　 "Cambridge scholars still know how to use soybeans to grow bean sprouts? I go, Baipi Wenquxing?"

　　 Lorraine was driven into a dead end by the sound of soul torture. He turned into anger for a while, and said to the sky, "Cambridge scholars love China, can you control it? Get out!"

　　 Wang also ran away dingy.

　　 He went out, Hannah came in, looking at Lorraine who was flushed strangely, tilted his head and asked, "What is it... the tricky snow stings are planted in a pot, what kind of weird jellyfish?"

　　 Lorraine was amused by Hina, and all his temperament was lost.

　　 "It's okay, why are you here?"

　　 Henna saw that Lorraine didn't want to say, so she didn't ask, pointed to the hall and said, "Someone is looking for you."

　　 "Where is Miss Zhenna?"

　　 "Turn off."

　　 Lorraine shrugged: "Why did that man come here?"

　　 "Apply."

　　 "At the moment, apply?"

　　 "Yes, apply."

　　 After a while, Lorraine saw the person who came to apply for the job.

　　 He is carrying a small suitcase, wearing a brown windbreaker, an exaggerated retro wide-brimmed hat on his head, a silver ribbon tied on the hat, and blue and green feathers on the ribbon.

　　 Lorraine glanced at the resume in his hand, raised his head, and looked directly at the ice-blue eyes that could not find the slightest emotion.

　　 "Daniel Solander?"

"Yes."

　　 "It says on your resume that you are a Londoner, a Catholic, and your specialty is... Surgery?"

　　Daniel silently opened his small suitcase, turned halfway around and showed it to Lorraine.

　　 The upper layer of the suitcase is tied with a medical license. The license is stamped by the Royal Medical Association, demonstrating the superb skills of the license owner.

The lower layer of 　　 is a pile of bulging holsters, in which are inserted various shiny scalpels, tweezers, clamps, and many weird surgical tools.

　　 "It seems that you are well prepared." Lorraine sighed and continued to look through the resume. "You have excellent medical skills, but in your resume you say that you don't work as a doctor... Are you a hair shaver?"

　　Daniel took a razor out of the trench coat coolly, opened it with a flick of his hand, and took a beautiful knife.

　　 "It’s inconvenient to take a bath on the ocean trip, and the sailor’s hair is easy to breed fleas. To deal with this little blood sucking thing, you need a hair shaver."

　　 "You still know that I want to go to the ocean..." Lorraine rubbed his brows and turned that complicated resume to page three. "The versatile Mr. Solander, besides a surgeon and a shaver, is an alchemist?"

　　 "Flamel School's re-passed alchemist, my spiritual teacher is Henry Moore, and the introductory book is "Soul Immortal"."

　　 "No teacher?"

　　 "After the death of the last sage, I don't think there are still alchemists in this world who are enough to become my mentor."

"Very good." Lorraine closed his resume and looked at the candidate in front of him who was not enough to be arrogant. "Mr. Solander, you are very good from the resume, and there is still a period of two years. I have gone to Africa to go to the sea. Why do you want to apply for the Drake Chamber of Commerce if you are as good as you?"

"Azot and the Fifth Element." Daniel said softly, "I searched through all the alchemy books I could find, and there are good reasons to believe that these two treasures are hidden somewhere in Africa or America. I was empty-handed in Africa. Go home, and you are going to America, and you are restless and love adventure."

　　 "It sounds like you know me well..." Lorraine felt a strong grotesque, and couldn't help asking, "Who introduced you to me?"

　　 "Sir Billy Layton, I was his personal doctor and hairdresser. In a letter not long ago, he mentioned you to me."

　　 "Sir Layton?" Lorraine was surprised for a long time, and suddenly laughed, "Doctor Daniel Solander, congratulations, you have been admitted."

　　 Lorraine's refreshment completely exceeded Daniel's expectation. He raised his eyebrows: "Are you not going to verify my professional skills?"

　　 "No need. The person who can be valued by my mentor must be the dragon and the phoenix among the people. I trust his vision."

　　...

　　 On January 4, 1779, the Anglo-French post-war negotiation meeting and the first Cantabrian Fair Trade Salon were held in the Southampton City Hall Auditorium.

　　 The English, who occupied the absolute majority, led the process of the entire conference. The French were defeated by thousands of miles and finally abandoned the Desai Chamber of Commerce.

　　 All the participants agreed that the Desai Chamber of Commerce must bear full responsibility for the Cantabrian dispute that has lasted for nearly half a year.

　　 He needs to pay a total of 68,000 pounds in compensation to the damaged English Chamber of Commerce. The Drake Chamber of Commerce allocated three thousand pounds of it, and the Mindel Chamber of Commerce received more, including two of the three Brigantines captured, and a total of four thousand pounds in compensation.

　　 This is a huge sum of money, and the compensation period must be long.

　　 Ko Lorraine is not worried that the Desai Chamber of Commerce will not be able to pay enough money.

　　Because there is Viscount Desai of Porto behind the Chamber of Commerce, even for the vanity and face of the nobility, he has to grit his teeth and collect all the money until the bankruptcy and the declaration is wiped out.

　　 The first Salon Forum was also a complete success, and a public agreement named "Southampton Offshore Trader Agreement" was formed.

　　The commercial agreement declares that the Cantabrian route is a common route for all offshore chambers of commerce, and merchant ships of any nationality should be treated fairly and fairly on the route. UU reading www.uukａnshu.com

　　 All private acts will be regarded as a provocation to the commercial agreement, and will be spurned and condemned by all the members of the salon with the glory and shame headed by the Offshore Association of England.

　　 In Lorraine’s view, the only valuable word in this agreement is the sentence [Led by the English Offshore Association].

　　 With this free advertisement, as a permanent director of the Offshore Chamber of Commerce, the Drake Chamber of Commerce will have no disadvantages in the trade of Northwest Europe.

　　 The meeting ended successfully after five days and seven discussions. Lorraine officially handed over the business of Northwest Europe and returned to Plymouth with his seamen.

　　 On January 12, 1779, the newly-renovated Golden Deer slowly sailed out of the sea proving ground at Piraea Dock, and drifted into the wide Plymouth Bay along with the waves.

　　 "Pickles, soybeans, green tea, lemon, black bread, pastrami and laying chicken. Fresh water enough for two months, and a full fifty barrels of wine..."

　　 "Two rolls of sails, five kilometers of sails, enough medicine and consumables, ammunition and gold pounds..."

　　 "150 loyal and well-trained sailors, 18-pound guns, seamen with special skills..."

　　 "Caribbean, I'm ready..."

　　 Lorraine slowly opened his eyes, holding the antlers of the bow of the ship, and standing upright on the bow against the wind.

　　 He wore a black trench coat with a red belt, and his heavy trench coat was hunting.

　　 He wears a tricorne inlaid with tortoiseshell pansy, and the colorful cap badge shines.

　　 He turned his head and shouted to his seaman: "Are you ready to conquer the ocean! You guys... landladcks!"

　　 "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

　　 "Target the Caribbean Sea! Golden Deer, set sail, set sail!"
