Zhang Heng interrogates the captain, first mate and boatswain of Miranda separately to prevent collusion of confessions, and then confirms their answers to each other, so as to ensure the reliability of the information collected.
But half an hour later, he got some unexpected news, so he called Billy and Anne together again, and asked someone to find the chief carpenter on the ship.
"You want to go back to parrot island?" Billy was startled by Zhang Heng's bold idea.
"According to the information just obtained from the captives, the only remaining warship on parrot island is the Kent, which is the weakest time of their defense." Zhang Heng said, "maybe we can take this opportunity to rescue the survivors on the island. Besides Get back the gold we left there. "
"How to do it? In the current situation of jackdaw, we can't support a complete battle. Otherwise, we don't have to be so troublesome. We have to rely on the terrain of Pearl Island to solve Miranda. When we get to parrot Island, there is no terrain for us to take advantage of. This is a tough battle that can't be skillful, and we almost have no chance to win." Although Billy is also interested in the proposal of rescuing the pirates on the island to retrieve the gold, he still thinks that the risk is too great.
Instead of answering the helmsman's question, Zhang Heng turned his head and looked at guy, the chief carpenter on the ship. "If there are enough materials, how long can we repair the ship to a state where we can fight again?"
The latter heard Yan Leng Leng, "if there is no lack of materials, and everyone helps, six days, no, five days can be completed."
"But where does the material come from?" Asked difrena.
Zhang Heng pointed to the Miranda that ran aground not far away, "tear it down as a material."
Guy nodded as soon as his eyes lit up. "That's a good idea, but it'll take another two days."
"There's no problem in time. The Navy sent five ships to chase us, one of them was killed by us, and now there are four ships left. They agreed to go back to parrot island in two weeks to solve the remaining pirates on the island. Now only one day has passed. We spend seven days to repair the ship, and the remaining time is enough for us to go back to parrot island and fight again."
Billy couldn't help but be moved. The Navy couldn't say that it was tuoda. After all, it's not easy for the Jackdaw to hold on to Nassau. No one would think that they would dare to kill them on the way back, so only one ship was left on parrot Island, which is enough to guard a group of pirates who have lost ships and supplies.
Zhang Heng's plan sounds bold at first, but it's not impossible to think about it carefully. Although killing Miranda made everyone angry and get enough food and fresh water, it can't make up for the loss they suffered this time.
This time, the Pirates of Nassau were trapped by the Navy. Not only were the men and ships lost, but also the gold they had snatched from the Spanish treasure ship was cheap. If they could snatch back the gold and rescue the survivors of the island, it would be a real counterattack.
"I think this battle plan will work and we can start preparing for the next battle."
…………
Soon, the crew on the beach knew Zhang Heng's plan to fight back against parrot Island, and the subsequent crew meeting was approved without doubt, which was related to the dignity of Nassau pirates and the ownership of 5000 pounds of gold. They had no time to rest, so they immediately joined in the repair work.
It's rare to have so many people available. Guy decided to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the hull of the Jackdaw and remove the conch, seaweed and other debris adsorbed on the deck during the voyage. In this way, the speed of the Jackdaw can be increased by half a quarter to meet the next tough battle.
However, in the heat of everyone's work, Zhang Heng, as the captain, disappeared.
When Annie found Zhang Heng, the latter was sitting alone behind a rock, watching the sunset gradually fall into the sea.
He was about 200 yards away from the crowd sitting in front of the fire, which made him look like a person from another world.
Annie found a piece of sand beside Zhang Heng and sat down. She handed the wine bottle in her hand. "The repair work is going smoothly. It will be almost finished tomorrow morning. Guy said that the repaired jackdaw will be stronger than before."
"Good. We've been on this island for a long time, and it's almost time to start again." Zhang Heng took the bottle and took a sip. Then Annie took the bottle back from Zhang Heng's hand and took a sip of it herself.
"Well, how are you, then? How are you?"
"Well?"
"Don't you want to talk about the storm before? The crew all said that it was a miracle and that we were sheltered by the sea goddess Tethys, but you and I all know that's not true. I heard the story of Seth with you. Did you climb the mast to engrave the name on it? What's her name, Betty?"
"Oh, don't worry, I won't let jackdaw follow the Clarke," Zhang Heng said. "I just I don't remember the last time I watched the sunset so quietly. "Zhang Heng did use the shell at the critical moment before. He didn't have any bitter experience, and he was not the so-called indignant youth. Therefore, he finally used a clever way to bring himself into the literary works. He chose Jean Valjean, the protagonist of les miserables, who was imprisoned for ten years for helping his poor sister raise seven children to steal bread Nine years of bad luck, because of the previous series of encounters, until he met bishop miriere, he had a strong anger at his own world.
Zhang Heng not only successfully summoned the storm to help the Jackdaw escape, but also had the first contact with the Celtic ancient god who called himself Betty.
Zhang Heng knew that the other party didn't look for him before, not because he didn't have the time or created a sense of mystery, but because the latter was too weak. After seducing Seth on the ship, he didn't have the strength to show up again. It was only after Zhang Heng took over the shell that she carved her name on the mast again and provided a lot of anger that she recovered a small part of her strength.
According to her own opinion, her strength is not as good as before. Not only is it not as good as the heyday of more than 1000 years ago, but even a hundred years ago, when she was on the Clark ship, she was much better than now. This is why Zhang Heng can't really control the storm, speed up the navigation, and even use it to attack the enemy, just like the captain of the Clark ship The best we can do is to keep the storm from harming jackdaw.
