Reborn As a Pirate

Zephyr, July 23, 1779.

It wasn't a special day for Shaq.

There are still 8 days left for the rotation of the Lion, and the sun is still hanging in the sky today. On the surface of the sea, the blockade formation is also besieging a lifeless smuggling fleet just like in the past.

The one-sided battle has been going on for more than an hour.

During the process, the fifth-tier ship Montanlio of the blockade formation successfully entangled a Brigantine, and the Lion easily penetrated a Brigantine. The Galenic ship, which looked quite similar to the Golden Deer, slowly approached a dead end near the sea.

rather boring change...

Shaq yawned secretly, and couldn't help but recall the dexterous little rabbit ten days ago.

Could that be Lorraine?

Fortunately, the old men of the No. 3 formation hijacked Lorraine's ship, cleverly did not show any clues, and extorted 30 pounds with conventional measures, giving Bell the opportunity to send information about New Orleans.

Captain Amani's rewards there are huge.

Shaq already knew that his stupid brother really started to take risks as expected, and he chose the most dangerous path, helping the French send arms to the so-called Continental Army.

Fortunately, Lorraine is not completely demented yet. She chose a clever cross-dressing, and even completely changed her identity.

and boats...

The ship used for smuggling was called the Jackdaw, a refitted commercial high-speed ship with no background, no past, no transaction and maintenance records. It was registered in Port of Spain, and the registrant Donna Linka was a The real thing, the notorious great pirate.

Shaq was very relieved.

Although he is a stupid younger brother, Lorraine's style of doing things is still as bold and steady as before. It seems adventurous, but it will not easily cause trouble for the upper body.

but……

High-speed Baggage, the destination is Baltimore, clear and decisive command style, talented wind cutting skills...

After thinking about it, Shakes felt that the little rabbit who fought that night seemed to be Lorraine after receiving Bell's support.

According to the days, the ship should already be somewhere outside the mouth of the bay... Lorraine likes night raids. If we meet again, should we sink it?

Shaq's muttering just fell into Captain Amani's ears, and the captain couldn't help shivering when he thought of Bell's admonition.

Admiral...

Shaq turned his head slightly: Is it going to be finished?

The poor captain quickly shook his head: Sorry, Admiral! The encirclement is being steadily established, and the captain estimates that it will take about an hour to achieve the best shooting environment.

Has the Montanlio dealt with her opponent?

A direct hit has been successfully formed, but the impact position is not very good...

Since there are no obvious changes, what did Mr. Captain ask you to do? To reduce my poor patience?

With a neither salty nor light tone, without any fierce words, Amani's face was pale, and he felt that his whole heart was about to jump into his throat.

Report to the admiral! He saluted with his legs together, and his voice was loud, Lookout found the shadow of the ship 17 kilometers northeast. It is a high-speed Bagger type with a speed of more than 12 knots. It is expected to pass Cape Charles within 50 minutes!

High-speed bagger type?

Amani hurriedly glanced around, took a step closer, and lowered her voice.

There are winged sails, and the bow gun door is modified. The bow logo is a crow with its wings folded on the head of a poisonous snake. The crow is newly installed.

He swallowed, and the speed of his speech suddenly increased to the fastest: It's the Jackdaw.

In fact, there is no need for Amani to do anything extra. When he heard the obvious sign of the crow is from Xin'an, Shaq already knew that it must be Lorraine.

It was completely beyond Shaq's expectation that Lorraine would choose to raid during the day, but it was not beyond his comprehension.

From Lorraine's point of view, he must have hoped to escape from Cape Charles, 19 kilometers away, while the blockade formation was fighting fiercely at Cape Henry.

But, it's daytime!

within 35 kilometers,

The Lion may find the shadow of the intruding ship at any time. It is God's blessing that the Jackdaw can safely advance to the 17-kilometer position under such circumstances, but this distance is still far from safe.

In a blink of an eye, Shaq already had a plan in mind. He gave up the Galenoid in front of him, the Unicorn hedged the Jackdaw at full speed, and the Lion moved to the center line of the bay mouth.

Apart from speed, the Jackdaw has nothing to support.

As long as the blocking formation responds with all their strength, even if Lorraine and Bell join forces, they will have nowhere to escape in this narrow bay!

Want to order?

Shaq stared at the empty sea level in silence.

Captain Amani suppressed his anxious thoughts: Admiral... Everyone

Bell wants a permanent liaison, is Staff Emmons on his way?

Amani was stunned for a moment: I set off last night. I picked four capable and reliable stormtroopers to protect him. What I said to the outside world was to carry out the infiltration operation at Henry's Point.

Henry corner sneaked in? Those country bumpkins...how can they?

You have always given your subordinates a cautious and rigid impression. Although it is a bit unnecessary, there is no doubt in the formation.

Careful and strict...?

Shaq pulled out a smile that wasn't even amused.

I'm not the commander of the formation, and I shouldn't be the one who dealt with the situation. Captain Amani, don't think that you are my old subordinate and I will indulge you.

Let the captain put away these extra thoughts and concentrate on fighting the enemy! If he thinks that the situation in front of him is plentiful, then hijack that fast ship. If not... tell him that the result of the battle is what you eat, What you can see when you look out is just a wisp of cooking smoke.

Yes, sir!

...

The galloping Jackdaw seemed to fly into the Chesapeake Bay under the welcome of the artillery fire on the south bank, with an elegant and lecherous figure, leaving a long and messy wave line in the sea off Cape Charles.

The blocking formation didn't make any decent response to this, as if it hadn't been discovered, it just implemented conventional tactics step by step.

Another hour later, the Montanlio was deceived by the fake maneuver on the opposite side without warning, and the bruised Brigantine plunged into the battle group of the Lion and the Bloody Mary like a warrior who was about to die.

That ship flew the Union flag during the dash!

The red and white flag unfurls in the sea breeze, and on the blue corners, thirteen state stars shine brightly.

The Bloody Mary seized the opportunity in time, and under the cover of Brigantine, she endured a round of approaching shelling from the Unicorn, forcibly cutting her side to break out of the encirclement.

As Catalina said, pirates will always have a gift for speed that the navy doesn't have.

The Bloody Mary, which protruded from the net, was fully sailed, quickly found a suitable cut angle, and the speed of the boat increased to 8 knots.

By the time Montanio, who had lost his enemy, and the unicorn fairy who had turned his head around came to their senses, Bloody Mary had already fled far away, fleeing to Norfolk Bay with gunpowder smoke and scars, and there was no possibility of pursuit.

On the messy deck, the sturdy cotton Jack VII stared blankly at the flag of the United States sinking into the sea, and asked softly.

Did you see the Bagg just now?

The watchman replied in a deep voice: I see clearly.

After arriving in Norfolk, ask the first officer to disembark and find out her identity. Check it out. The dignity of the Pirate King cannot be desecrated. The blood of the United States... cannot be shed in vain.

miles away...

The dull sound of the 32-pound gun echoed in the sea area, and the brave Brigantine was sinking, but the conventional humanitarian rescue did not start thereupon.

Shaq stood opposite his captain, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

It's too ugly...

The captain's face turned blue: Admiral, these despicable smugglers should be hanged, they don't deserve sympathy!

I'm not saying those rednecks flopping in the water are ugly, I'm talking about you. Shaq's voice floated high, The Lion, the Montanlio, and the Unicorn, and your opponent It’s just a mere destroyer and two Brigantines that are barely ranked into Tier 6, and they are still commercial types…”

Subordinate... didn't expect...

I asked Captain Amani to remind you that what you eat is the result of the battle. I thought you could understand it. It's really...

Please let your subordinates wash away the shame!

Shaq shook his head and laughed: Shame? Mercy is not a gentleman's shame, sir, you are just incompetent.

Subordinates...

After returning to Hamilton, all members of the blockade formation canceled their vacations, and started additional training from the most basic sports development and ship operations.

I will assess you on September 15th. If there are still people who can't meet my requirements... Shake paused, Retire voluntarily.

Retirement! Cold sweat instantly covered the captain's face, Admiral, you need subordinates who are familiar with the hydrology of the New World by your side, the retirement statement...

Retire or not is your freedom, and it is also a spur for those incompetent people who have insufficient training. But I still hope that you treat it correctly, because from the bottom of my heart, I don't like sending the files of my subordinates back to the Ministry of the Navy, understand? ?”

Yes, sir!

Go and deliver the order if you understand.

Shaq waved his hand, and drove away the captain and the staff officers gathered around him like a fly.

It's quiet around me.

He fixedly looked at the direction where the Jackdaw disappeared, and suddenly said: My stupid brother, it's too ugly...
