Reborn As a Pirate

　　 The battle in the waters off Lei Island cleared the smoke three days ago, but the roar of cannons still echoes over England.

　　 The Roy Chamber of Commerce was defeated. The Karak-type old destroyer was once again defeated in the battle with the Galen-type new destroyer. By the way, it revealed a **** fact to the shallow offshore merchants.

　　 Even with similar firepower, Karak is far from Galen’s opponent, and he doesn’t even have the qualifications to be called an opponent.

　　 At the same time, the three chambers of commerce alliance rose to fame.

　　 They are the Englishmen closest to that battle. Their strength is far from enough to intervene in that war. They bravely launched a rush to help, and through a **** battle, they defeated the first fleet of the Yordel Chamber of Commerce.

This victory became the only fig leaf for the English, and what made them even more desperate was that the Roy Chamber of Commerce used the Viscount relationship behind them, but still failed to make the Channel Fleet anchored in Plymouth pay more attention to this A small war close at hand.

　　 Lorraine Drake is right, in the eyes of England, they are not worth mentioning.

　　 Lorraine was very busy these past two days, and the merchants seeking visits were connected one by one, leaving people, ships, giving up control...They all hope to join the camp of the three chambers of commerce alliance.

　　 The conditions given by many people were so generous that Lorraine was so enthusiastic about it, and it was Hannah that was staring at him, and they didn't make a decision to regret.

　　 He has to carry it.

　　 After the battle with the Yodel Chamber of Commerce was over, he had a frank conversation with Hierro and Odilean.

　　 The mission of breaking the fleet should be over. Defeating a fleet of such strength as the Yodel Chamber of Commerce is his limit.

　　 If they want to take on greater responsibilities, they need to truly integrate the strength of the English offshore business circle, instead of slowly developing their own small alliances and isolating the hard-hit Roy Chamber of Commerce.

　　Because the Roy Chamber of Commerce also has a Karak-type, looking at the entire offshore business district, this old destroyer named the Red Hair Sultan is still the best choice against the Reindeer, and no one can replace it.

　　Transfer...How long will I have to wait?

　　 Lorraine waited quietly, waiting for news from the Roy Chamber of Commerce as well as news from Carmen.

　　 There was a knock on the door.

　　 Lorraine straightened up, adjusted his vest and shirt, and said softly, "Please come in."

　　 Miss Zhenna at the front desk opened the door and bowed to Lorraine: "Mr. Drake, the next reservation guest has 5 minutes to arrive. I have 30 minutes reserved for you."

　　 "In other words, I have to reject him within 25 minutes and coax him to put pressure on the Roy Chamber of Commerce... This is the ninth one today, isn't it?"

　　 Miss Zhenna sighed helplessly: "Your memory is really good, it's the ninth one."

　　 "Which chamber of commerce is the president this time? Or their manager?"

"Neither." Zhenna took out a small book from her pocket and turned to the middle page. "The visitor's name is Bell Judea. He made an appointment three days ago. He said he was your old classmate. Because he always refused to explain his intentions, and the priority was 0, he was ranked behind all the presidents."

　　 "Judia classmate...what is he doing?"

　　 Five minutes later, Lorraine met Bell in his office.

　　 Blond hair, blue eyes, wearing a vigorous military uniform, with a cynical, lazy smile on his face.

　　I haven't seen each other for two years, Lorraine's best friend in the sea school is still tired and lazy, and it doesn't seem to have changed at all.

　　 Lorraine smiled and stood up: "Bell Judea, I heard that you served on the Vagrant of Lieutenant Colonel Drake, but never thought you would come to me."

Bell took off the cocked hat on his head, raised his hand to cover the clock in the office, blocking the dial, and said with a smirk: "It’s not easy to see an old classmate who has made a fortune. Your beautiful secretary and lover made me wait for three days. , But only gave me 25 minutes. Incidentally, your brother is already a colonel, the new captain of HMS Lion."

　　 "The Lion?"

　　 "It is the Lion, and the captain will inherit General Elijah's unfinished business and go to the New World."

　　 "Persevere boringly." Lorraine shook his head and walked to the bar. He threw Bell's cocked hat on the hat rack and revealed the dial again, and asked, "What to drink? Whiskey? Or Bordeaux?"

　　 "Coffee, preferably from Jamaica, I have to get used to it in advance."

　　 Lorraine glanced at the needle and said to Miss Zhenna by the door: "Make a glass of Warren Ford's Blue Mountains for Captain Judea, two spoons of milk, no sugar, if I have not remembered..."

　　 "Warren Ford Farm?" Bell's eyes lit up, "No milk, no sugar, I'm ready to face the bitter and sweetness of the Caribbean!"

　　 Zhenna looked at Lorraine embarrassedly.

　　 Lorraine let out a laugh and waved his hand: "Follow the advice of Captain Judea, but please hurry up. He only has 20 minutes left to taste the bitterness."

　　 Zhenna responded and closed the door to make coffee. There were only two people left in the room.

　　 Bell threw himself into the soft sofa, raised his legs, and groaned comfortably: "The life of a rich man...Lorraine, for the first time, I feel that you give up the navy is the wisest decision in your life."

　　 "A minor ward does not have the right to voluntarily retire. I was ordered to quit school by the Drake family."

　　 "Is there a difference? The captain gave you Francis' privateing certificate, and you accepted it. At least on this point, you still have a tacit understanding."

　　 Lorraine poured himself a half glass of whiskey~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Add ice and shake it gently: "You came here to let me throw you out of the window?"

　　 Bell shrugged helplessly: "It's actually for business."

"Business?"

　　 "The cause of the incident, my good sister chose a church school. You know, my family is just a little nobleman who has fallen into the glorious revolution and cannot afford expensive tuition."

　　 Lorraine nodded.

　　 "In the course of the incident, the Lion was changing its defense period and the material warehouse management was chaotic. As the captain's confidant, I was ordered to assist in the inventory clearance, but found a batch of long guns that were not included in the material list."

　　 "Long spear, how many are there?"

　　 "43 1756-style brown Bess marine commuter flintlocks, newly built by the Royal Light Arms Foundry in February this year, with numbers and inscriptions on the barrels."

　　 "New maritime commute?" Lorraine frowned, "Do you know that once this kind of thing is exposed, your military career will be over."

　　 "Who made me a good brother who loves his sister?" Belle smiled self-deprecatingly on his face, "The unit price is 80 pounds, would you like it?"

　　 "Three times the ex-factory price..." Lorraine pondered for a moment, "When can I see the goods."

　　 "The next night after receiving the money, you can send someone to Plymouth Bay to salvage at one o'clock in the morning, and I will give you the specific location."

　　 "Where is the ammunition?"

　　 "Each gun is equipped with 1,000 rounds. If you want more, you have to add money."

　　 "Up to five thousand rounds, I will give you 90 pounds for each gun. The money will be delivered to your mother tomorrow, I hope it won't scare her."

　　 "I seem to have begun to understand why in only two and a half years, you are already rich enough to invite guests to drink the authentic Blue Mountain..."
