Reborn As a Pirate

　　Quiet Western Europe, turbulent North America.

　　 On April 19, 1775, British troops in Portland were ordered to go to Concord to search for the possession of weapons. They passed the grassland of Lexington and ran into a civilian army in shooting training...

　　 The North American War of Independence began with this slap on the face.

　　The battle of Lexington, the British army was killed and injured 286 people, defeated.

　　 On June 14, 1775, the American Continental Army was formed. The next day, George Washington became the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army.

　　 On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress issued the "Declaration of Independence" and the United States of America was born.

　　 Great Britain behaved awkwardly in the face of this vigorous revolution.

　　On the one hand, since the last New World Fleet Admiral Baron Elijah Drake was accidentally killed on his way to his post, the navy has never been able to select a suitable successor.

　　 The powerful New World fleet has been in chaos without a leader for a long time, and it was not until mid 1777 that it finally waited for their new admiral Sir Peter Parker.

　　 On the other hand, the colonial army was caught in another form of chaos.

　　 In early 1776, John Burgoin took office as the commander-in-chief of the Canadian region. He fought against William Howe, then commander-in-chief of the North American region, and succeeded in splitting the small number of British troops into two.

　　 In order to get along well with colleagues at the same level, the two further divided the army into more detail, and formulated a large-scale [New England Division Campaign], divided into three troops, and marched to Albany, New York.

　　 This is a ridiculous military operation.

　　 Three unconnected troops, the widowed Colonel Barry St. Redger was driven back to the starting point by the Yankees early.

　　Commander Howe changed his mind in the middle of the journey, diverted to Pennsylvania, and captured Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress is located.

　　Only the honest and friendly Commander Burgoin led a mere 7000 soldiers and continued to march towards the target.

　　 His troops first captured the fortress of Tecondroga, and then collided head-on with the main American forces in the Hudson River.

　　 On October 17, 1777, John Burgoin led his men to surrender to the U.S. Army in the north of Saratoga Springs, known as Saratoga.

　　 Saratoga Jade changed everything.

　　 Since February 1778, France, the Netherlands, and Spain have successively recognized the independence of the United States, and a huge fleet went to North America.

　　 Overnight, the enemies of Great Britain have changed from "unworthy hillbillies" to half the world.

　　 The trade winds in early spring blew across the vast Atlantic Ocean, bringing news of the war back to Europe.

　　 This is the foundation of the maritime powers. The kings are still talking and laughing, trying to maintain the final restraint, but the horn of war... has long been sounded in the world of merchants.

　　...

　　 In April 1778, the Black Port of Elgin.

　　 The Attis Beauty slowly berthed into the calm harbor, Pierce swayed off the ship with his waistband in, just like Lorraine back then, a shilling popped out and landed precisely on the pilot's palm.

　　 After two years, little Pierce was much taller and darker.

　　 His every move is like Lorraine, even the faint smile on the corner of his mouth is the same as Lorraine.

　　 "Nice semaphore, Mr. Dmitry."

　　 Pilot Dmitry smiled and put away the shilling, took the double flag, and rubbed Pierce's head.

　　 "Little Pierce, how does it feel to be a captain for the first time?"

　　 Pierce’s shoulder collapsed.

　　He cried and said, "Mr. Dmitry, knowingly asking is not what a gentleman should do."

　　 "Huh? Knowing... Isn't Mr. Drake taking a holiday this time?"

"Brother is on a shift." Pierce raised his eyes with embarrassment, "But now in the form of the sea, if brother is not there, Hina must be there. With her at the helm, even if I put the admiral's name, I don't have to listen to her. Is it?"

　　 was talking, Henna also got off the boat.

Two years of HNA didn’t change her too much. She was still wearing a hooded hooded veil, and she was still cold and indifferent, but she was taller and taller, and she was not short when standing next to a tall man. Thin and light.

　　 She leaped down from the stern tip, the height of four or five meters seemed nothing to her.

　　 She frowned and walked to Dmitry and handed out a small bag wrapped in greased paper from under the coat.

　　 Hyde felt uneasy, and stared at Henna in a daze: "This is..."

　　 "We found Mr. Pimon's ship on the route, with only some wreckage and no living mouth. This is his voyage diary."

　　 "Old Pimen..."

　　 Heina nodded silently.

　　 Dmitry took a deep breath and took the oil bag with both hands: "I want to pass the relic to the management committee immediately, Ms. Yesra, please come with me. Little Pierce, disaccompaniment."

　　 He took Hina Fei and walked along, cursing in his mouth as he walked.

　　 "The fourth resident this month! Is this world crazy!"

　　 As Pierce and Mr. Hyde said, the situation at sea has been very bad these months.

　　The war in the New World has escalated.

　　 The colonial garrisons of Britain, France, the Netherlands, and the West were grouped together on the lands of the new United States. From the sea to the land, there was no peace of mind for a moment.

　　 The situation in Europe is a little more stable than that in the New World. This is the homeland. Every move affects the fundamentals. The government dare not act rashly, and they still maintain mutual harmony.

　　 For black businessmen, this is also the worst situation.

　　 Under the connivance of the state, the privateers let go of the reins.

　　 The hunt has begun.

　　 Overnight, the number of pirates scattered on the route more than doubled?

　　 Endless pirates are drifting on the sea, and the black merchants with few people and weak artillery are their best target.

　　 Robbery, murder, throwing bodies, destroying ships...

　　 In the past few months, Pierce can't remember how many bad news he has heard. In Bermeo, in Stavanger, the most... is in Elgin.

　　 Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong...

　　 The clock tower on Fanhua Avenue once again sounded a short and urgent death knell, which shows that the management committee has confirmed the relic of Mr. Pimon.

　　 death knell, it means that Elgin has lost another free, optimistic, and courageous black businessman based in Hong Kong.

　　 "According to Mr. Dmitry, Pimon is the fourth this month... the next... or the next... when will it be our turn?"

　　 Pierce bit his lip. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 Lorraine is very powerful, Henna is very powerful, even when she sees people, she blushes, and Noya, who is not visible, is much stronger than ordinary people.

　　 But in front of the sky of artillery, how valuable is personal power?

　　 The current Drake Merchant Group is too weak.

　　 They only had four standard Kirk cargo ships, and Lorraine gritted his teeth and equipped each ship with four six-pounder medium-range guns.

　　The type of gun basically cannot penetrate the hull of the ship, and it also hits the mast continuously. Its only function is to launch shotguns toward the deck, hoping to ignite the cannonballs piled on the deck, or to kill or injure the sailors running around.

　　 During this period, Pierce recalled more than once when he visited the Star Gemini in Stavanger.

　　Like the 20-gun Brigentin high-speed ship, it can't fight or run away. As long as the Drake Merchant Group meets it once, the whole group will inevitably be annihilated and the ship destroyed.

　　 They have even walked through Ghost Gate.

　　 More than forty days ago, on the last trade route, they drove out of the Bokenfjord full of Nordic furs, and hit a Dutch-born Brigantine head-on.

　　 If it weren’t for the sky, the powerful Viking skull pirate group was preparing to go to Stavanger to supply supplies and expelled the Dutch gunboat that was posing for an attack...

　　 Can the Drake Merchant Group escape?

elder brother! What are you hesitating!

　　 Pierce stared at the swaying bronze bell in the distance, took a deep breath, and quickened his pace.

　　 He decided!

　　 Today, I must persuade Lorraine to buy a ship. Even if you can buy a real gunboat even if you have the property that the Drake Merchant Group has accumulated over the past two years!

　　 Otherwise, it's dead!
