Chapter 122

After saying goodbye to the jackdaw, the untidy golden deer no longer lingered. It packed up and drove straight to Jamaica island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.

Jamaica is an important transit point for Caribbean routes, bordering Cuba in the north, Hispaniola in the East, central and South America in the southwest, the Bahamas with dense islands and reefs through the windward Strait, and the Gulf of Mexico with high wind and deep water through the Yucatan Strait.

The island has a long colonial history.

In 1494, Columbus led his fleet to become the first Europeans to come here.

In 1509, Spain declared Jamaica a colony, renamed Santiago, and established the Spanish town as its capital in 1538.

Their rule over Jamaica lasted a century and a half.

In 1655, William Bing and Robert Venables jointly led a British fleet to successfully occupy Jamaica.

They invited pirates to port Loire, the largest port on the island, to help defend the possible counterattack of the Spanish. After that, they retreated twice in the next few years, which opened the deep relationship between Jamaica and Pirates of the Caribbean.

In 1670, Spain officially recognized British ownership of Jamaica in the Madrid treaty.

According to the promises given by the two fleet captains to the pirates, Charles II handed over the port of Loire to the management of the pirates and turned the port into a common holy land for English privateers and Pirates of the Caribbean.

In 1674, Henry Morgan was pardoned for his crimes in London, made a royal knight and became the deputy governor of Jamaica.

With the support of the British royal family, he returned to the Caribbean and openly operated his vast manor, but secretly with a more elite pirate team, he subdued the famous Pirates of the whole Caribbean, established a maritime brotherhood, promulgated the Pirate Code, and became the only pirate emperor in the history of the Caribbean.

The emperor is the capital of the country.

The port of Loire thus became the capital of the pirate empire. When Morgan was alive, he was even more popular than the turtle island where the maritime Brotherhood was located. It was the yearning place for thousands of pirates in the Caribbean.

However, the good times did not last long.

Morgan died in 1688 and port Loire was destroyed in 1692.

A major earthquake sent half of the Loire port into the sea, and the unproductive pirates soon abandoned the ruins. Until a few years later, the British began to build Kingston and built the Royal port on the former site of the Loire port as the territorial port of Kingston city.

It has become the military port anchorage of the new continent fleet of the Royal British navy, and the wanton songs of pirates have disappeared on the beaches of Jamaica. It has become mediocre, leaving only class antagonism and racial discrimination deeply buried in etiquette and order, which is the same as every backward country illuminated by the light of civilization.

Lorraine couldn't help laughing at the thought.

Since that strange conversation, he found that he often fell into a strange circle of literature and art, expressing his feelings for the landscape and moaning without illness.

Just like the mockery of the light of civilization, he didn't understand why he had this strange idea.

Does he still want to gather a group of scoundrels, hooligans and bankrupt workers and peasants like Robespierre, tie up George III in Buckingham Palace, behead him in public, and then be replaced by the farm master in a small corner and die in peace?

How free

Whimsically, the golden deer bypassed Morant point, overlooking the white beach of Morant Bay, and slowly drove into the bay of Royal harbor.

A huge ship came oncoming.

With the huge hull and towering side, Lorraine saw a powerful master who wanted to be eaten by others in the high bow.

Shaq stood quietly in the bow, like him, with his feet on the bow statue and two long knives buckled at his waist.

The accessories of double knives mean that he will fight against jackals and cheetahs in France, Spain and Holland, sea mice in America, and ubiquitous Pirates of the Caribbean.

He saw Lorraine, his icy blue eyes without fluctuation, just like looking at a strange passer-by.

Lorraine slowly grinned, raised his head and raised his middle finger at him.

The two ships crossed the side, and neither Lorraine nor shack turned back.

Haina walked to Lorraine with a little worry: "that ship is so big..."

"HMS lion, a cutting-edge class III battleship of the Royal Navy, is 52 meters long and 15 meters wide, with a main mast of 44 meters high and a drainage capacity of 1800 tons."

"She is the top class III battleship of the Royal Navy of Great Britain. She has two full cover gun decks. The lower layer is equipped with 28 32 pound long-range guns, the upper layer is equipped with 30 18 pound long-range guns, three layers of stern guns, 12 18 pound short guns, two layers of bow guns, two 18 pound medium guns in the lower layer, two 48 pound overweight mortar guns in the upper layer, and 550 sailors."

"She is omnipotent in fighting, hand to hand combat, artillery battle, side to side and recovery. In small-scale combat, her adaptability and lethality even exceed the old class II battleship. She is the real main ship of the British navy and the first choice of the colonial fleet commander ship."

Haina opened her mouth slightly: "lion, that's not..."

"Colonel shack Francis Drake... No, it's time to call him the commander of the continental fleet, major general. This is his flagship and his father's flagship."

"Is he the one who wears two knives like you just now?"

"Yes." Lorraine shook his head vaguely. "Come into Hong Kong. I hope Lieutenant Colonel Nelson has prepared everything for us, which can save us some time."

……

The lion slowly sailed out of the bay of Royal harbor. Shack stood silently in the bow. His mind was full of passing by. Lorraine was full of provocative actions and a wanton smile on his face.

Bell, who had just been promoted to major, came lazily with his trouser waist inserted, with a smile on his eyebrows. He didn't look like a good officer.

"Lieutenant, just now I saw Mr. Drake."

"If you have time to pay attention to the captains of ships, you should print the portraits of all pirates in the Caribbean in advance, which will help me seize the war achievements."

"Well... I just turned my head when I turned the rudder... You know, our side is relatively high."

Shaq glanced at him coldly and turned back to the cabin.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped: "your sister, how's life recently?"

Bell blinked: "Lieutenant, the military funds in Hamilton port have just been checked before the handover. Even if you want to fund my sister's studies again, I dare not move the things there."

"Reselling military funds is not a long-term plan." Shaq lowered his head and played with the ears on his military uniform. "Your behavior in Plymouth has been exposed. If you don't want to go to the military court, you'd better get off the ship in San Salvador."

"Exposure?" bell lost his voice in disbelief. "When was it exposed?"

"Just now." Shaq's voice was steady, so that people could not distinguish the true from the false, "because a sailor officially filed a written report to me. According to the procedure, I have to convene a military court on the day I arrive in Bermuda to try your crime. We all know that you deserve it."

Bell's eyes turned to the sky: "commander, is there room for maneuver?"

"Yes, I can also list your whereabouts as top secret in the name of the field, so that you can not only retain your military status, but also escape the trial. When the sailor dies, the military court will naturally die without illness because of the loss of the plaintiff."

"I knew..." bell muttered. "Where are you going to send me out of the field?"

"Kingston, Drake chamber of Commerce. I suspect that its president Lorraine Drake intends to engage in piracy beyond the private plunder license. You should approach him and report all his whereabouts to me. This is the only way to make a confession."

"Make a confession, don't you?" bell wanted to spit on Shaq's expensive military uniform. "I need a forged trial order, at least five pounds in change. Also, when I go out of the field, my salary will be sent to my mother a penny and a lot, and I will be promoted normally according to my years... There are only women left in the family. I can't let them worry."

"The request is very reasonable." shack thought or agreed. "You will get these when you get off the ship. In addition, I will arrange reliable people to beat you up."

"Why beat it?"

"Because there is torture in the military court, my brother is very stupid, but he is not easy to cheat."

Bell bowed his head heavily and sighed, "well, you won. Remember to tell them not to hit the face."

Shaq shook his head gently.

"This request is unreasonable and I don't accept it," he said
