Vero Baker indeed collected a large amount of information from the three slave merchants, including three large boxes. The contents were detailed to the main backbone and the core slave team configuration of the chamber of Commerce, but there was no corresponding sorting.
Now they are all lying in the battle room of the lady.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the secret service fleet set sail on time, only controlling the direction with the longitudinal sail and drifting slowly in the direction of the Cape of good hope.
Pierce and his sailors scrambled against the clock to break down the messy information and quickly sorted out the basic clue.
Three chambers of Commerce as targets:
Fernandez chamber of Commerce, based in Nairobi, is headed by the uncle of Fernandez, governor of Portugal and Kenya. The main shareholders and backbone are family members. Obviously, it is the governor's private industry.
Its strength is also the strongest among the three chambers of Commerce. It is equipped with four five-level Galen slave trading ships, two Bagh ships of the same level, and more than 20 frigates and ships below the same level.
It has a land slave team of more than 300 people, equipped with full firearms, and at least six land light guns that can fire flowering bombs.
Gaias chamber of Commerce, based in Lisbon, is mainly engaged in slave transportation and marketing. It has two four mast skuna slave trading ships, with a length of more than 50 meters. It is a giant specializing in business.
Gondor chamber of Commerce, based in Mombasa, has only a few small and medium-sized ships for offshore use, but the scale of the slave team has reached 600 people, and its combat effectiveness is well-known.
Pierce found the name of Antil laguain.
He is the captain of the second team of the slave hunting team of the Gondor chamber of Commerce, commanding 200 guns. Although the firepower configuration is not as good as that of the first team and the Fernandez chamber of Commerce, the record or blood debt is enough to catch up with them.
He even has a special name, wolf fox laguain, the best slave hunter in Kenya
Hashim was gnashing his teeth when he saw the name. Pierce wanted to say a few jokes about "I knew so", but looking at Hashim's dark and red face, he couldn't say it anyway.
"Well, gentlemen, what do you think?"
At this time, old Dylan is often the first to speak. His task is to make a frame and put the young people who are too easy to be wild in a general scope.
"Obviously, our next stop is Kenya. The largest port there is Mombasa port, which is not only the residence of our target chamber of Commerce, but also one of the residences of the Portuguese African fleet," he said
"There is no information about the Portuguese Navy in baker's box. How many warships are there? How close are they to the target chamber of Commerce? Will they conflict with us?"
"The core force of the target chamber of commerce is on land. It is the slave team, which is very different from the opponents we faced before."
Turner knocked on the table and made a second speech: "it doesn't matter whether their structure tends to land or sea, because slaves always have to sell and take away their ships, especially big ships. The slave team will lose its place. They will dissolve the team without us even doing it."
"Gondor won't," fremani retorted. "This chamber of commerce is like a planter. From the structure, it can be seen that their trading partner is a maritime chamber of Commerce like Gaias."
"And..." pierce looked at Hashim. "Gondor has something we must catch alive. Even if it's true, as Turner said, we can't let them dissolve until we catch the people we want."
"In this way, the direction is clear." he stood up and circled around the conference table. "The fleet is heading for Mombasa, trying to find out the naval garrison there, trying to destroy the maritime power of the three chambers of Commerce, and trying to destroy the second Gondor team. Is there any supplement?"
Ray raised his hand: "we have no trade license in Mombasa."
"Ah..." Pierce was silly. "Otherwise, find out the Blackbeard pirate flag captured last time?"
……
At the beginning of November, after another week's delay at sea, the secret service fleet chose a calm day, crossed the Cape of good hope, followed the coastline of the African continent and sailed to Mombasa port, Kenya.
The lady's main mast still hung Drake's bright pansy flag. Everyone knew that it was a natural result.
Impersonation is a bad idea. Although it is indeed tempting, gentlemen in this era pay more attention to reputation than anything. Once the impersonation is exposed, Drake's reputation will not be limited to East Africa.
Pierce was determined not to take such a risk. Even the privilege of the group pet could not protect his dog's head.
That's why the secret service fleet was delayed for a week.
To seek revenge in the name of the chamber of Commerce, we first need to solve the problem of entering the port. Temporary berthing is indeed feasible, but passing ships will be strictly controlled and the berthing time is limited, so it is likely that nothing can be done well.
To this end, Eddie completed the listing of the African branch in advance.
The formally established African chamber of Commerce appointed pierce to handle Kenya's trade license in the name of business development, which is a legitimate reason applicable everywhere.
However, the problem is still only half solved. Money can help all humanoid creatures get formal trade licenses, but it does not mean that people with trade licenses can be lawless in other colonies.
Britain and Portugal are not belligerents, and Drake's permission to plunder will not come in handy on this trip.
Pierce also needs a legitimate reason to do evil.
The logic of this matter is actually very simple. On the premise of obtaining trade license, Drake chamber of Commerce has the right to trade and navigation in the Kenyan colony and its affiliated waters.
This right is granted by God and fair. Drake will not be inferior to the Portuguese chamber of Commerce.
At this time, if the Portuguese hinder Drake from exercising his rights, pierce can launch self-defense. Of course, the process will be more complicated. For example, an iron evidence proves that Drake belongs to the Party of justice and victimization in the conflict.
Another significance of the week's delay lies in this. There are three more distinguished guests on the ship of the future, namely, Mr. Argyle mobadi, observer of the Spanish peroli chamber of Commerce, Mr. orvey Ilich, observer of the French rotaseri chamber of Commerce, and Mr. O. Mayo medori, observer of the ibasta chamber of commerce in the Cape Colony of the Netherlands.
They are all medium-sized chambers of Commerce active in Africa. During Eddie's preparation for the African branch, they learned about Drake's strength and established friendship with Eddie.
This time, at the invitation of Eddie, they will work with the powerful Drake chamber of Commerce along East Africa and directly to the Red Sea to explore the feasibility of jointly developing Asian routes and properly integrating the advantages of various countries.
Of course, such a noble man should not be neglected. They took the "African branch ocean flagship", the special class five Galen future of Drake maritime group, which can best demonstrate Drake's strength and vitality.
When the ship crosses the Mozambique Strait, the huge continental Madagascar Island is gradually left behind. In front of it is the Comodo islands. According to the plan, the fleet will dock there and rest, and then go straight to Mombasa.
After another round of useless salon, pierce rubbed his small face stiff with laughter and saw freemanny fishing in the bow.
Freemani laughed licentiously: "what country's woman I talked about today, my respected [deputy governor]?"
"This time it's American women who say they are licentious and open. As long as they shout long live God, their waist will be especially strong."
"Really?" fremani blinked. "I really haven't tried to pray when I do things..."
"You will go to hell!" pierce spat in disgust and looked up at the increasingly blurred Madagascar. "How about the lady and the sunflower?"
"Turner rules the ladies and plans to be 40 kilometers away from us. As a man, the distance between the ladies and us will not be less than 36 or more than 44. I can't see him, but he can see my position, so... I don't know."
"Xiangyanghua took Xiao Sanmei and Hashim to Mombasa first. Mr. Dylan Jr. was in charge there. As long as we were attacked near Aldabra, their work was very effective."
Pierce looked depressed: "I only heard that you used your oral skills to attract parrots, but I haven't found that you are as good at talking nonsense as parrots."
"I can always play on the boat with you." freemanny put away his fishing rod and stood up. "You gave the order not to contact in advance. I thought you should have been prepared for the situation of two eyes and one darkness."
