Reborn As a Pirate

Chapter 80: Allies and broken fleets

   "Young and vigorous..."

   By the quiet Jian River, Hierro looked at Lorraine with a complicated expression.

   Lorraine's face is light and breezy, pointing to the little sail shadow on Jianhe, and chanting softly.

   "Quietly, I am leaving, just as I came quietly, I waved my sleeves, not taking away a cloud."

"You let me know that Cambridge is a magical place that will record everything that has happened. Today I let the banquet go unhappy, but when the prediction comes true, they will remember today, will hate me, and will dependent on me."

   "The question is, how long will that day be?"

"It won't be long." Lorraine dusted his clothes, put his elbows on Carmen, "Thank you for your recommendation, Mr. Mindel, I should go back to Plymouth. Even if everyone decides to sit back and wait for death, I do. To resist, go to Cantabrian to find an opportunity for victory."

   "The little Drake Chamber of Commerce is going to stand alone against the combined fleet?"

   There was a loud laugh from the trail, and Odilean Shaklin walked out of the woods alone.

   He failed to manage his figure. He looked fat and greasy. He was a little lame when he walked. He must be supported by a long umbrella to be able to walk safely.

   Lorraine was interested in him at first.

   During a brief small-scale exchange before the toast, his position seemed to be the main battle. Like Hierro, he has the potential to become an ally of Lorraine.

   So Lorraine stopped and smiled and watched Audilan swaying closer with the umbrella handle.

   "You are going to fight, Mr. Drake?"

"Yes." Lorraine nodded casually. "Before I came, I adjusted the structure of the Chamber of Commerce and vacated three Brigantines to form a temporary fleet. I will personally take them to pick up the tiger's beards of the combined fleet and remove them. The hunting ground has become my hunting ground."

   "Strike fast!" Odilan stared at Lorraine appreciatively, smiled, and turned his gaze to Hierro, "Hierro, old friend, why don't you introduce such a funny young man to me sooner?"

   "He died the other day." Hierro shrugged, "I don't think you would be interested in a dead young man."

   "That's true." Odilean accepted Hiero's explanation and turned his head back. "You are going to escalate the war into a real war between merchants. What about the trade in Cantabrian?"

   "Suspen trade, or just keep North Sea trade. Now Cantabrian has long lost the business environment, and any loss is enough to make the Chamber of Commerce lose everything."

   "The suspension of the Spanish line will cost the Chamber of Commerce a huge loss, young man, are you sure to make a quick fight?"

   "We have no other choice, do we?"

   There was a short silence.

  Odilean and Hierro made eye contact in front of Lorraine. After a while, he asked Lorraine: "Do you think how many Brigantines are enough to support you in a big battle?"

   The Drake Chamber of Commerce, the Mindell Chamber of Commerce and the Shaklin Chamber of Commerce signed an alliance agreement in Southampton.

  The agreement announced that the Three Chambers of Commerce Alliance would suspend all trade activities via the Cantabrian route, and during the war, a fleet of broken cross-traffic fleets would be established.

The fleet consists of high-speed Brigantine-type frigates, the number of seven ships, specifically the Drake Chamber of Commerce Pansy, Cattail, Clover, Tuna and Cod of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce, and Shacklen Chamber of Commerce Hurricane and Showers.

  The Butterfly Flower became the flagship of the broken fleet. Lorraine served as the admiral. The two deputy admirals were Raven of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce and the young admiral of the Shakerin Chamber of Commerce Yassin.

   The three chambers of commerce jointly promised that each Brigantine would be priced at 5,000 pounds. The loss of the shipwreck and the sailors’ compensation would be shared by the three parties, and the profits would be converted into gold pounds, which would also be shared equally by the three parties.

There are also many detailed provisions, including maintenance, repairs, wastage, personnel expenses, and other fragmented profit-related areas, which were temporarily used by Carmen and the plenipotentiary agents of the two chambers of commerce to break the fleet headquarters. The Chamber of Commerce's small building can negotiate at any time and make supplements and improvements.

   On November 3, following the order of Lorraine, the fleet set sail from the Port of Sale in Plymouth.

   Lorraine wrote in his sailing diary.

   [The signing of the alliance agreement between the Chamber of Commerce of the Three Kingdoms is the first stage of the Cantabrian war]

   [Villen Desai and Reindeer’s arrival in Port La Rochelle is the second stage]

   [During these two stages, we have been in a passive state of being beaten. Facing the superior enemy, the merchants of England have no resistance at all, they can only be mermaid and wailing in pain]

   [The formation of the joint fleet heralds the third phase of the warfare, which is more cruel. Fortunately, I finally have a reliable ally]

   [The joining of Hierro and Mindel Chamber of Commerce is expected, Odilean Shaklin is a surprise]

   [If there is a chance, I have to thank Mr. Reshona. Nelson, this destined legend is actually the nephew of Odilean]

  [His estimate of the situation is as pessimistic as I am, and Odilean trusts his judgment]

   [What a wonderful fate...]

  【I will lead the broken fleet into the battlefield. Willen Desai, looking forward to our next meeting]

  ……

   As long as it can remain successful, robbery is the most lucrative business in the world.

   The breaking of the war in the Cantabrian waters entered the third stage, and the combined fleet of France, Spain, and the Netherlands became the absolute hegemon on the route.

   The situation on the route has thus produced a further turn.

   On the one hand, weak British businessmen who were unwilling to give up Spanish profits basically gave up retaliatory counterattacks and formed a large-scale cargo fleet. As long as they were not blocked by the main force of the combined fleet, they would be able to maintain the smooth flow of trade routes.

   And the side effect of this response is that once a large or expensive fleet falls into a preset trap, the price paid by the Chamber of Commerce will be unbearable.

   Nearly a month, the offshore guild has declared bankruptcy of four chambers of commerce. Among them, the Charlene Chamber of Commerce in Dartmouth is even a council member of the guild. The impact of this cruel current situation on the members of the guild can be imagined.

   On the other hand, the small chambers of commerce in France, Spain, and the Netherlands used this opportunity to dominate the Spanish foreign trade market.

   The route has become busier than ever, and the loss of generous English people has not caused too much impact on Spain’s foreign trade.

   It is precisely because of the large-scale expansion of the scattered commerce of the Three Kingdoms that Lorraine's fleet of broken-off ties has gained a lot.

After more than 20 days of cruising, they launched two pirate raids. They captured three mixed-sail Skuner merchant ships, seven Kirk-type merchant ships, sunk one each of Skuner and Kirk, and looted the general merchandise. The price is £6,400.

   Although the trade with Spain was stopped, the profits of the three chambers of commerce in Cantabrian showed a strange upward posture.

  According to the agreement, they shared all the gains equally.

   Lorraine Siti mixed sail Skuna type, named Naga, incorporated into the British transshipment fleet. Two Kirk types, named the Celtic Warrior and the Irish Poet, were incorporated into the branch's cargo fleet.

   The Mindel Chamber of Commerce bought the extra Kirk for 300 pounds, which gave Lorraine another 2200 pounds worth of goods.

   The Broken Fleet also fought the Joint Fleet twice, because neither of them was a sudden encounter, and the two sides did not have too obvious sparks.

There was a win or a loss, and there was no major loss. The biggest loss was that Clover was interrupted in a battle. The mainmast was interrupted~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and had to be sent back to the Southampton Dockyard for repairs, and temporarily broke away. The sequence of the fleet.

   Hierro and Odilean did not relax their propaganda about their own benefits, especially after the bankruptcy of the Chalun Chamber of Commerce, the prosperity of the three chambers of commerce and the heavy losses of other offshore chambers of commerce have formed a sharp contrast.

   The performance of the Navy finally disappointed the merchants.

   They began to spontaneously set up a broken fleet like the Three Chambers of Commerce Alliance, but the effect was not good.

Not every admiral can receive the full education of the navy like Lorraine, and is familiar with and good at fleet-scale naval battles; not everyone can be like Hierro and Odilean, willing to entrust his fortune and life to outsiders. In the hands, we have to take risks together.

   After one defeat, the Lufthansa Chamber of Commerce, which was also a council member of the guild, declared bankruptcy. Less than two weeks after it had prospered, the broken fleets that had sprung up after the rain had announced their dissolution, which became a real joke.

  The intelligent chamber of commerce proposed to join the three chambers of commerce alliance, but the three chambers of commerce are unwilling to share the original covenant with the newcomers, and the newcomers are unwilling to give up their dominance over their ships. Carmen received three chambers of commerce, and the final result was nothing.

   Lorraine knows that the time for the formation of a broader alliance is not yet ripe...

  The Broken Fleet cruises like a cunning shark on the connecting line between Cantabrian and the Atlantic, sharpening its minions, ready to hang the pirate flag at any time to start the third plunder.

  Who knows...November 26, the waters off Lei Island.

"Three o'clock! Sixteen kilometers away, battle!" Hina shouted in surprise, "Lorraine, the main force of the combined fleet surrounded the Roy Chamber of Commerce fleet, and the Reindeer suppressed the Karak-type Mamluk. No. The Roy Chamber of Commerce is critical!"
