Chapter 441

Bell has been unlucky.

Perhaps the supreme luck when holding the steering wheel has overdrawn God's care for him. In Lorraine's impression, as long as he focuses on doing something, it will not go smoothly.

This was the case when he left the navy to join Lorraine, when he pursued offee, and this time when he bought his family title.

In 1781, Bell's fortune was more than 60000 pounds when he smuggled dividends for the last time.

This should be a real number.

Because Bell's life is very frugal, he hardly spends money when he goes out to sea, and seldom buys anything for himself when he returns to Hong Kong for rest.

From 1781 to 1782, the two largest expenses that Lorraine could know about Bell were related to ophy.

One of them was a 10th century Indian gem feather crown taken by Carmen as a birthday gift for ophy, worth 1300 pounds.

At that time, ophy was trying to ease relations with the small tribe of Lucie manor. Because of this gift, he took it as Bell's mockery of her courtship.

The other was bewitched by yazha, who bought a rose garden and transplanted it to Lucie manor, worth 800 pounds.

It was done very secretly. Ophy always thought that the rose garden was a project bought by Lorraine to decorate the manor. He not only sent a special florist to take care of it every day. Based on the girl's love of beauty, he also took Monica with him and took a small shovel to take care of it.

Aofei put a lot of effort into Huatian and regarded them as the spiritual sustenance of his job.

In this way, she stayed up until the season when the flowers were in full bloom. She fell asleep with a dream of charming flowers in the garden. When she woke up, she suddenly found that those beautiful things with dew and in bud were cut down with scissors and stacked by her bed

The murder almost led to a real murder. If Monica hadn't dragged her to death, ofey would have poked the flower shovel into Bell's forehead that day.

In any case, for the whole two years, bell spent only these two unsuccessful courtship.

He made a big plan without telling everyone. At the end of 1782, he asked for leave to return to England. Through a so-called gentleman who had a strong relationship with the house of Lords, he began to rush for the family title.

Lorraine got the news that in September 1783, bell invested almost 30000 pounds, and the title was still far away, even the noble gentleman disappeared.

He was cheated.

Lorraine made a brief survey of the background of Sir William Robbie Ferguson through his network in England and found that he was in prison and a notorious recidivist in London.

The gentleman was jailed three times in five years and successfully defrauded 16 times, with a total amount of more than 31700 pounds, and bell contributed more than 90% to his hanging.

Bell returned to the Caribbean with scars and got drunk at Lucie manor.

That night, he played the violin and hummed on ophy's balcony. Encouraged by alcohol, he sang all the stupid things he had done in recent years. Unexpectedly, he... Accidentally moved ophy.

Misfortune is where fortune depends.

Bell and ophy's relationship has made qualitative progress because of a liar, and Lorraine finally understands the key reason why her good friend is frugal all the year round.

He had a frank talk with Bell and determined that money could really play a role in restoring his title. Only then did he suggest that bell go to Carmen and borrow some money from the Federation in the form of advance.

Bell soon borrowed 30000 pounds from Carmen at a low annual interest rate of 5%. Lorraine dutifully continued to play the role of Savior and began to write letters for bell.

He wrote four letters altogether.

One for Nelson.

The two sides have always maintained stable correspondence, so Lorraine knows that Nelson is now in a hot relationship with Prince William and Lord hood, and both of them have great influence in the house of Lords.

A letter to Jero minder of the offshore guild.

The offshore chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly due to the growth of Drake chamber of Commerce, and Ramos has no intention to challenge the position of president of Mindell chamber of Commerce. The former alliance of the three chambers of commerce is still a good strategic partner.

Lord Mindell, Jero's brother, has always had a good reputation and influence in the house of Commons. Although it is not symptomatic, it can still play a role in Bell's problem.

A letter to their mutual mentor, sir Leighton.

No one has underestimated the influence of the sea school in British politics. Sir Leighton likes bell very much. He will certainly do his best in this matter.

In the last letter, Lorraine wrote to the Archbishop of Westminster Abbey, the holy seat of the Anglican Church, the religious leader second only to the king.

Few people know that Lorraine, a pagan, has a good friendship with the most holy creature in Great Britain, and this friendship was not laid by Lorraine now, but by little Lorraine once.

Whether utilitarianism or congeniality, Lorraine and archbishop Bellick have maintained not close correspondence over the years.

In the letter, the two sides talked about religion, belief, personal will and social will, the dialectical relationship between philosophy and science, etc. they were friends who could be entrusted but could not be easily used. However, for bell, Lorraine decided to let the Archbishop mediate.

The regiment continued to play a role in the following time. After a year and 50000 pounds of investment, brede's title finally returned to the arms of the Judea family.

Michael St. Fred Judea, who didn't know whether he was born or not, will become the fifth Earl of St. Fred. Before Michael had children, bell was the first heir to his son, and Bell's sister Eliza was the second.

Lorraine strongly intervened in the succession of count brede. As soon as the negotiation and social affairs were taken over by the lawyers of Southampton, bell was able to free up his hands to focus on his life and work.

He married offee, had children, deducted half of the dividend in 1784 to pay off the advance interest for the next three years and the employment expenses of the lawyer group, took over the direct fleet at the end of 84 and led the pirate war against the big pirate derricky in the name of the first deputy commander.

In all, this should be the first time bell presided over a fleet level war.

But unlike Pierce's lackluster performance, bell played a master level control war with his natural inspiration, skillfully circled around the colonial countries for six months, and played with many famous pirates.

In November 1784, the first sub fleet of the Crusade fleet, with a total of 20 armed merchant ships, led by bell, cut into the Anegada Strait.

Three days later, Katrina led a total of 36 second sub fleets into the Mona Strait and made a slow progress towards St. Thomas island in the middle of the islands.

Their actions have naturally aroused the vigilance of the pirate world.

On the day after Katrina broke into the islands, Blackbeard called on the 12 pirate groups and 17 famous solo pirates who occupied the sea area to hold a secret meeting in Rhode City, the colonial capital of Britain, and recommended skillful dereki as the governor and bloodthirsty SM sethia as the deputy governor to form a powerful fleet of 82 ships.

Derricky divided the fleet into three parts. The first fleet was led by derricky, with a total of 30 warships against the Anegada Strait.

The second sub fleet was led by sethiadok, with 43 warships fighting in the Mona Strait.

The third sub fleet has only nine warships, including the Queen Anne revenge, the only help of the Blackbeard pirate regiment to the Viking pirates, which gathers eight of the most ferocious and rebellious solo pirates in the whole fleet, led by Blackbeard and guerrilla lines.

On November 16, Katrina was attacked in the northern waters of Mona island. Because of the scattered formation, the sub fleet was overwhelmed, and most of the ships fled north. Only five ships retreated to managuis port at the entrance of Mona Strait under the leadership of Katrina, relying on the shore gun system there.

On November 19, bell and the first sub fleet met the enemy off Tortola island. Under Bell's calm command, the two sides soon fell into a stalemate.

On November 20, Blackbeard attacked the flank and cut the bell formation. The first fleet sank one ship and captured two ships.

On November 23, most of the second fleet that fled in the battle of Mona fell from the sky and broke the rear wing of the derricky fleet. Bell seized the fighter plane and landed from the sky to contain Blackbeard. The main battle group approached the chaotic derricky fleet.

Derricky was defeated, three ships were sunk and five were captured. Combined with the previous war losses of both sides, the final capture sink ratio was 5 to 12. The toltora naval battle ended in Bell's victory.

The wide-ranging Sideswipe shot dricky half dead.

His pirate regiment had only 12 ships. Ten remained on the islands and joined the joint fleet, of which five were arranged in the relatively stable rear wing.

Who knows that the rear wing was almost completely destroyed this time, and dricky was the first to bear the brunt. He not only became the one who lost the most, but also his leading position in the pirate fleet was almost shaken.

Bell got off to a good start, lured Katrina out of the enemy, and the war entered a relatively gentle stalemate

In the room, Lorraine listened to Bell's lazy report and changed into a comfortable sitting position.

"According to you, you have won the first war. Derricky, who lost half of his power, is not satisfied with those rebellious pirates. As long as you pursue while you win, you can end the war when they command chaos?"

"If the purpose of this battle was really to attack derricky, I would have done so." bell took out his ears, "but you can't come back. I can only give them a chance to breathe. But I didn't expect that derricky had breathed in the main force of Blackbeard..."
