Governor Swann is a very qualified colony administrator, very dedicated to his responsibilities, and he is very supportive of the fight against piracy.
The problem now is that Ethan’s identity is unknown, and Brigadier General Norrington doesn’t know what his attitude towards this is.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with destroying a group of pirates. The key is that this group of pirates is not easy to destroy."
Governor Swann knows the situation in the Caribbean Sea well. He basically knows the difficult pirates. Of course he knows the situation on the Black Pearl.
"Because of the speed of the Black Pearl, sometimes even if you find the trail of this group of pirates, it is not easy to destroy it."
Ethan shook his head: "I have a way to find the Black Pearl, and I don't even need the Navy of Port Royal to do it myself, as long as I can provide me with a ship. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to support some sailors. "
"I only need one ship?" Governor Swann didn't understand what a ship could do. To deal with a fast pirate ship like the Black Pearl, either a faster warship would be used for pursuit, or multiple warships would be the only option. An ambush, but looking at Ethan's appearance, it seems that all he needs to do is provide an ordinary ship?
"A ship sent me to the vicinity of the Black Pearl, but there is no need for the Navy in Port Royal to do anything else."
Ethan’s words are true, but they are deliberately misleading Governor Swann. What he really meant was that he could solve the rest by himself. At this moment, coupled with the identity of Governor Swann, it is easy to be understood that Ethan will mobilize other forces to deal with the Black Pearl. All he has to do is Rush over.
Have other Royal Navy warships come to the Caribbean?
"In other words, the Navy of Port Royal does not even need to participate in the battle with the Black Pearl pirate?"
"No need."
"Then in the end..." Of course Governor Swann has to ask how the credit is counted? Could it be that the navy in Port Royal just went to sea for a round? In fact, the navy’s going to sea is not a random thing. A warship consumes a lot of materials when going to the sea for a round, and it also risks the emptiness of coastal defense in Port Royal.
"I only need the Black Pearl. I don't care about those pirates."
The pirates are credited. Compared to the Black Pearl, the value of this group of pirates is greater for Governor Swann and Norrington. Ethan is deliberately giving up the biggest cake in exchange for the support of the Royal Navy.
"If this is the case, there should be no problem." Wetherby-Swan thought about it and found that this matter is only good for him and Norrington, if it is really just driving the warship out to sea for a circle. In exchange for so much credit.
In fact, there is really no problem. Brigadier Norrington is at the age when he is young, strong and determined to make progress. He himself was very happy to hear about cracking down on pirates. It's just that as a cautious commander, he needs to figure out all the details before he can really act.
In the original plot, after Elizabeth was abducted by Barbosa, little blacksmith Will Turner was dissatisfied with Norrington's actions not being fast enough, so he decided to cooperate with Jack to personally rescue Elizabeth.
So after Ethan left the governor’s mansion, he was invited to Norrington’s office without dinner.
"Hello, this is James Norrington." Reached out his hand and shook Ethan: "This is the second time I have met."
"Yes, I forgot to say congratulations to you."
"thank you very much."
Norrington has always maintained a perfect gentleman's demeanor, and did not show any superior posture because of Ethan's unidentified and young age.
Reminiscent of his performance in the original story, this is really a good person. Governor Swann wants him to be his son-in-law, which proves that the Governor has a good vision.
After a simple greeting, Norrington turned the topic directly to business.
"Just send a battleship?"
"One boat will do."
In most cases, Governor Swann has told him that there is no need to waste time to make sure again. He only needs to figure out what he wants to know and judge whether the action is worthwhile.
"Excuse me, the Black Pearl is the top clipper in this area. At present, the only possibility to chase the Black Pearl in Port Royal is the Interceptor, so do you want me to send the Interceptor?"
"No, as long as you can see the Black Pearl within visual distance, I don't even ask you to approach each other. So any ship will do, not necessarily an interceptor."
Governor Swann also said that compared to Governor Swann who does not know much about the military, the more professional Brigadier General Norrington has more problems in his mind, because these requirements are too unreasonable. But Ethan didn't explain the meaning to him, which made him very depressed.
"Leave aside how you plan to deal with the group of pirates, now I have to confirm one thing, otherwise it is impossible for me to send a warship to the vast sea to find a pirate ship that I don't know where it is."
This request is very reasonable. If Ethan is so reasonable that Ethan cannot give an answer, the plan to pull the Royal Navy into the water will fail completely.
"I found someone." Ethan sorted out his thoughts and explained things as much as possible: "He has some special methods that can lead us to find the Black Pearl."
"A person?" Norrington thought he had found an intelligence dealer or a pirate who knew the pattern of the Black Pearl's activities. This is the most likely guess under reasonable circumstances: "A pirate?"
"Is a pirate." Ethan nodded: "The original captain of the Black Pearl, but this guy was betrayed by his first mate not long after he was there and threw him on the desert island alone. That first mate is now. Barbosa, the captain of the Black Pearl."
Norrington nodded. This information is still reliable. It is not incomprehensible that the former captain of the Black Pearl knew the whereabouts of the Black Pearl. Moreover, the pirates did everything in their revenge, and it was not incomprehensible that they were connected to the Royal Navy.
The only thing that upsets him is that he might want a pirate to board his warship.
Fortunately, the Royal Navy has had a very complicated relationship with the pirates for a long time. As the Royal Navy Commodore Norrington, although he does not have a very good view of the pirates, he will not refuse when he can use it.
"I need to meet this person."
"no problem."
Speaking of this, a consensus has been basically reached. As long as Jack Sparrow does something irritating and offends everyone, then Norrington will send a warship to help him find the Black Pearl.
At this time Ethan can have a good rest, but considering that no time is wasted, Ethan did not rest but directly found Jack Sparrow.
is very easy to find, you can find him in the tavern closest to the pier.
"Look at you, it should have solved all the problems." Jack sat in the corner, where you can observe the entire tavern well, and the distance from the back door is also appropriate. Once there is a disturbance, it is convenient for him to drive away at any time.
"Basically solved, tomorrow you need to go to a place with me, and then you can prepare to set off."
Jack looked curious: "I know you can get the gold coins quickly. How did you solve the boat problem?"
He had been on the dock for a day, and he had already felt about the situation of the ships in Port Royal. There were no ships available for sale at all, and no new ships about to launch. He even thought that he could only steal one Royal Navy ship in the end.
"The Royal Navy will help us."
Ethan looked at the wine glass in Jack's hand, and finally gave up to settle his dinner here.
He didn't hide his disgusting expression, and of course he was seen by Jack. Coupled with what Ethan said before, Jack felt more and more that this guy was a nobleman.
"I'm curious."
He didn't want to ask Ethan how he managed the Royal Navy. He didn't worry about Ethan's suspected aristocratic status. What he was really curious about was Ethan's purpose.
"What are you looking for Blackbeard for?"
He also suspected that Ethan wanted to use Blackbeard as his own feat, but now he might have guessed it wrong. Although Blackbeard is strong, but no matter how strong it is, it is only a pirate When encountering the Royal Navy, he would not choose to face head-on.
Similar to the Black Pearl and Queen Anne’s Avenger, although they are all famous pirate ships, they really want to fight head-on with the Royal Navy’s battleships, which is simply seeking death.
With the Royal Navy’s intelligence capabilities, Ethan doesn’t seem to need his own help?
"I am a little interested in some of the dark magic that Blackbeard has mastered."
This makes sense. This young man has magical magic, so it is not uncommon to be interested in similar abilities, but the chosen target happens to be a pirate. And this is different from simply catching and hunting pirates. It is probably for this reason that he is not planning to borrow the power of the Royal Navy to find Blackbeard.
Although there are still many problems, Jack is not prepared to continue to struggle. Anyway, it is the most important that he can retake the Black Pearl. Why does he let himself find Blackbeard for him?
"But..."
"what?"
"Do you think the Royal Navy will let me board their battleship?"
Ethan looked at Jack's uncomfortable expression, and found it particularly interesting: "So you are going to meet with me tomorrow, the local highest military commander, Brigadier General James Norrington."
Jack's face became more exciting. As a pirate, he was naturally resistant to the navy, not to mention that he was still a navy general.
"Can you not go?"
"If you don't go, Brigadier General Norrington may give up this operation." Ethan paused, and suddenly remembered something that he did not explain to Jack: "By the way, the conditions for the Royal Navy to dispatch are the pirates on the Black Pearl. Will be the fruit of their victory."
Jack's face is even more ugly. This is like Jack taking the navy and destroying his colleagues. He seems to have become a traitor among pirates.
