Chapter 318

Blufields.

Blufields is located in the middle of the east coast of Nicaragua. It is not only the largest port on the east coast of the region, but also the hub and center of the Royal Navy's Mosquito Coast patrol mission.

On the afternoon of the 7th, the fleet directly under the blue dew, which was absent, sailed into her horizon.

Yesterday, Lorraine accidentally picked up LEV in an Aboriginal fishing village in Providencia.

This Viking crazy soldier with excellent martial arts and a single-minded head survived. He not only harvested love there and enjoyed the fisherman's life for more than a year, but also happily mentioned a five-year-old son.

This kind of life experience that likes to be a father will certainly not be accompanied by serious blood relationship, but Leff and jiekali are true love. They are also true love who start to believe in Odin and Tyr, the God of war.

True love, nature and responsibility are two-sided. The crazy soldier has responsibility. The only request to get on the ship is to let Lorraine place his family.

This is not difficult for Lorraine.

In the devil's manor, Lucie, there were a group of Indians who had a good time, one more to one, one less to many.

Little things are far from the age of stereotype. In the future, Lorin has corresponding channels whether he wants to herd with Indians or become a sailor with LEV.

Even if their mother and son want to continue fishing, Luxi also has a vast private coast, and no one cares about the vast natural fishing ground. The conditions are much better than the Providencia Island, which even has to save water for trade.

Carmen persuaded the woman named jiekali to leave her hometown without any words, and the green dew became their passenger ship. Early this morning, they separated from the large army and drove back to Luxi private port under construction alone.

After settling down his family, Leif became Lorraine's new charge captain. Barto continued to be the captain of the fleet, and his personal position was adjusted to the deputy governor ship Eros.

Just this time, Leonard was left in Lusi for infrastructure construction. The Eros was managed by the half tone Pierce. With the full help of Barto, his psychological pressure was finally reduced a lot.

When the fleet arrived at lucifields, Leff stood beside Lorraine with a big fur shield harvested from Bimini island and a Viking sword called the uncrowned king.

"Tidu, lucifields is a small port. The water depth of the shoal is only 3.65 meters even at high tide. It can't accommodate ocean going ships above level 6. Even the standard brigantine and brig have to be careful when entering the berth."

"The anchorage of this port is one kilometer away from the coastline, which is the island called bluff on the right. There are nine anchor plank roads with a water depth of 9.6 meters, which can basically meet the access of all warships and large ships."

Lorraine looked at Lev strangely.

"Well, nothing else... LEV, I always think you shouldn't be the kind of person who pays attention to these details."

Leif simply and honestly rubbed his light brain door: "the feeling of the governor is right. I can't understand the hydrology in any other port. It was bonette's business when the Gemini was on board. It was your business when you were on your ship."

Lorraine looked at him steadily. "So here?"

"This is lucifields, the capital of the mosquito coast. The British list the mosquito coast as a protected area, which actually protects the Indian kingdom of Miskito, and it happens that the aborigines of Providencia are also a branch of Miskito."

"Since I married jekali, I was probably worried that I would abandon their mother and son one day and run away. The village head dragged old Abela to describe their great king capital to me as soon as he was free. Those were what old Abela told me just now. I just want to forget them every three days."

"I can hear it. It's hard for you."

Lorraine perfunctorily comforted his charge captain and ordered the fleet to turn and sail to the outer port anchorage of bluff island.

In fact, Lorraine knew everything Lev said.

As the captain and the first pilot of the fleet directly under him, he had obtained most of the basic information about lucifields and mosquito coast through the chamber of Commerce from the first time he determined the destination.

Central America is the colony first declared by the Spanish. Including Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica, the pan Southern Caribbean has been the unique back garden of the kingdom of Spain for a long time.

Until Francis defeated the invincible fleet.

Britain rose, Spain fell, and Great Britain began to extend its tentacles to Central America. It was first in this port called lucifields in 1601.

However, in the early years, Spain was far from harmless to humans and animals. They harassed lucifields and its surrounding areas through the Navy and subordinate pirates and privateers, and were ready to completely drive the British out of the sea from the land.

So the British supported Miskito, the most powerful native Indian in the region, and created a Miskito Kingdom recognized only in Great Britain in 1638. They claimed that the whole East Coast, including Honduras and Nicaragua, was the territory of Miskito Kingdom and claimed to be "the protector of freedom, independence and justice", From a colonist to a protector.

The mosquito coast is the protection area of Miskito in Great Britain, and it is also the "frontier" of Miskito kingdom.

The conflict of interest between Spain and Great Britain created this strange and peaceful Indian kingdom.

Miskito and some tribes related to her gathered and multiplied here to establish scattered towns and villages.

The people served their common master with taxes and labor, his majesty Alderman, king of Miskito, and his royal highness, a regent appointed by the governor of Jamaica. His Royal Highness's current name is Clayton Dickens, and his rank is only sergeant of the army.

Plain Indians

Lorraine had no reason to think of the black foot tribe abandoned by Britain in the defense of New Orleans and the slave Resistance Army pushed into the abyss by him and Rashid in Le Francois.

The outcome of Miskito is almost doomed. Those who do not trust civilization are enslaved and those who trust civilization are sold, but so on.

……

The golden deer sailed into the anchorage of the outer port. Lorraine stepped off the board and glanced at the desolate outer port.

There are not many ships outside the port. Only seven of the nine plank roads and 18 berths are occupied, including three warships flying Mi Zi flags, two class IV and one class v.

Lorraine guessed that they were Sir Parker's Sea fleet for Nelson.

This is an obvious eccentric configuration.

In regional defense, class IV ships are often used as the flagship of formation for patrol missions. They have strong firepower, large physique, high defense and slow response. In addition, their number of configurations is limited. It is almost unheard of for the two ships to be combined in small formation.

But the highlight of this time is the landing operation.

Considering major general darling's desire for merit and victory, the number of so-called "small landing forces" should not be less than two reinforced companies, with a total of 240 infantry and 4 land light artillery. In addition, there are at least 20 artillery assigned to artillery, perhaps horses and artillery carts.

In this way, the large size of the class IV ship has become an irreplaceable important advantage. The two ships are combined together, which is a masterstroke to give consideration to both transport capacity and combat power.

As for the problem of slow response that the fleet may present

Sir Parker must have known that Lorraine would go to war with the newly formed direct fleet anyway.

The fleet directly under the General Chamber of commerce is characterized by lightness and flexibility. Once assigned to the sea fleet, the two sides just form a task force consisting of two cruisers, three destroyers and two different frigates. Its balance and stability are enough to deal with most situations.

"Worthy of the old fox's abacus..."

Lorraine muttered to himself and looked up. He happened to see three heroic admirals coming together.

Nelson, come on.
