Reborn As a Pirate

On the afternoon of August 7, at 2 o'clock.

Bright sun and gentle wind.

The slender Azul Drop slipped across the boundary between Harrington Bay and Great Bay, and lightly docked in front of the big water gate of the Royal Navy Dockyard.

The Great Water Gate is what the locals call this thing. In fact, it is just a low wooden bridge more than 100 meters long, connecting the twin islands of Northern and Southern Ireland at the northwest end of Bermuda.

This is determined by the design of the Royal Navy Dockyard.

As an important naval base where Great Britain radiates thirteen states in North America, the Royal Navy Dockyard occupies the largest island in the Bermuda Islands, Northern Ireland, with the best hydrological conditions.

The island is located in the northwest of the archipelago, shaped like a semicircle, its northwest coast is straight, facing the Atlantic Ocean, and its southeast coast is curved and convex, facing the main island of Bermuda across the sea.

The two coastlines converge at the north and south ends. The north corner is the entrance of Harrington Bay, Comishina Point, and the south corner is the location of the Great Water Gate, which is within easy reach of South Ireland.

The Royal Navy Dockyard makes full use of the geographical conditions of the island. The huge wharf with more than 20 deep-water berths extends outward like comb teeth and is built side by side on the northwest coastline. starter

The island implements fully enclosed management. The towering embankment wraps the outline of the entire island like a city wall. On the top of the wall, there are dense cannons and sentry posts like forests, hiding functional buildings such as administrative buildings, dormitories, warehouses, and docks.

There are only two passages to enter the base from the main island.

Large ships with a draft of more than three meters head north, bypass Cape Comishina to berth into the military port, and enter through the heavily guarded main entrance after going through strict port entry inspections.

Small boats with a draft of less than three meters head south, pass through the large water gate, turn into the trumpet mouth, enter the shallow water bay enclosed by the embankment, and disembark at the loading dock.

The Weilan Water Drop chose the latter.

Lorraine, dressed in formal attire, stood in front of the cabin with an umbrella sword, and looked up at the strange building in front of him while Olves was communicating with the sailor.

Dashuimen is a bridge that connects the two islands, and it is estimated that it can also be regarded as a bridge across the sea.

However, from the base of the island, the islands of Northern and Southern Ireland are basically one island, with a distance of less than 70 meters from each other, so that even with the approach bridge, the cross-sea bridge is only a hundred meters long.

The bridge is all made of wood, with six piers facing each other on both sides. The straight bridge deck is more than four meters high, which really looks like a gate.

It’s just that although the gate is connected to the boat, the bridge is not a common suspension bridge. The so-called boat raft is built on the centerline of the bridge. It looks like a long wooden bar with a width of less than 20 centimeters.

It seemed that the negotiations were not going well. Olves quarreled with the sailors on the bridge for a long time, and angrily reported to Lorraine.

Captain, the sailors said that Weilan Waterdrop is a foreign civilian ship, and if you want to go to the island, you have to go to the military port for inspection.

Can't you accommodate?

The star officer is a stubborn guy.

That's difficult. After all, for Kingston, I should be exploring the Maya... Lorraine sighed, and took a step forward with an umbrella, Who is the star officer?

An upright and dignified head poked out from the bridge: The admiral is cleaning up military discipline. Once you should visit, please go to the military port for formal inspection.

Do you not accept external visits?

Yes! The admiral should have negotiated with the governor yesterday. With his head raised and his chin raised, he rejected people for thousands of miles.

No wonder the Lion went to Hamilton yesterday... Lorraine muttered in a low voice, then raised her head again, External visits are not accepted,

What about internal visits?

His head froze for a moment: Private business does not belong to internal visits.

But visiting relatives?

Visiting relatives is of course counted... Do you have any relatives working in the base?

I guess there is.

Which one?

Rear Admiral of the Royal Navy, attached to the New World Fleet, assigned to the Admiral of the Continental Squadron, Mr. Shaq Francis Drake.

...

The duty officer spent five minutes digesting Lorraine's application, and another fifteen minutes to confirm the release.

Twenty minutes later, the sailors on the bridge hurriedly removed the wooden slats, and the Azure Water Drop moved forward. The slender mast was assisted by someone to slowly pass the bridge deck and enter the wide shallow water behind the bridge.

Presented in front of Lorraine is a funnel-shaped coral reef group, pink sandy beach, pink sea surface, the sea surface under the sun presents colorful colors like toning, making people almost forget the troubles in the world, just want to sink into the water and enjoy peaceful.

But this is Shaq's place...

The long-lost person was under the eaves, and Lorraine was full of depression, and even the most beautiful scenery couldn't move him.

He just wants to get Leonard out quickly, and even the most important information will come after he gets out.

Olves obviously understood what Lorraine was thinking.

The boat passed the big water gate, galloped all the way into the bell mouth, and soon found a vacant plank road in the shallow water bay, moored the boat and dropped anchor.

The Amani captain who had met yesterday stood alone by the plank road with a sincere smile.

President Drake, the admiral heard that you are coming, and is waiting for you in the reception room.

Lorraine pursed her mouth secretly: Sorry, I'm here this time to communicate the misunderstanding that our employees were detained by the Royal Navy for no reason. The admiral takes care of everything every day...

If it is to solve the problem of illegal intrusion last night, you need to see the admiral even more, because that matter has been handed over to the admiral himself, and even the person has been handed over to the admiral's security department.

Tch, it's so fast...

what did you say?

Lorraine took a deep breath: I mean, I need to see the detained employee before formally negotiating.

What if we don't allow it?

Then I should go. Lorraine smiled, As far as I know, the Royal Navy Dockyard has not issued a ban on private meetings in the base before yesterday. Similarly, the internal disciplinary regulations of the Ministry of the Navy are also There are no relevant provisions.

So my employees were illegally intruded or detained for no reason? The Continental Squadron refused to talk about it, so my lawyer team asked the New Continental Fleet Military Court. Anyway, Bermuda should agree with Kingston's answer.

Amani blinked blankly: President, are you serious?

Every sentence is carefully thought out, Mr. Captain. You need to understand that I am not here to beg the Navy to forgive me, but to clear up the misunderstanding and return my employees' innocence. Genius remembers 噺バ一Chinese in a second m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/

An hour later, Lorraine met the detained Leonard in the guard confinement room of the Navy Administration Building as he wished. Of course, this behavior was approved by Shaq, and no physical contact of any kind was allowed. Capt. Ni fully monitors.

To put it bluntly, it means business affairs.

Western jurisprudence in the 18th century was far less complete than later generations. Under the double oppression of religious and feudal rights, the development of law was difficult.

But many basic principles and basic rights of later generations have already taken shape at this time.

For example, in the face of conviction disputes, defenders have the right to meet with the parties in a restricted environment before defending, so as to fully and correctly grasp the actual situation and obtain authorization.

This is the case now.

If trespassing is a felony, the upper limit can reach treason, and ordinary people can also be classified as spies, but it also has a lower limit. According to the degree of [entry], it is entirely possible to be regarded as [wrong entry].

Before coming, Lorraine, who had a ghost in his heart, was not sure about Leonard's state.

What he was most worried about was that Leonard was arrested in a confidential place like the intelligence department, archives department, or admiral's office.

In this situation, Leonard is almost dead.

There are two keys to his death or not, one is whether the information is with him, and the other is whether he is in an indisputable place.

So he asked Olves. Luckily, Leonard didn't plan to compare the information in the base at all, but planned to buy a wider range of information by hand trading.

In this way, Leonard's chances of survival are much greater.

Then at the Great Watergate, Lorraine found out that Leonard was arrested or it was an accident, because Shaq started to clean up the military discipline of the base yesterday. Before that, the control of visitors in Northern Ireland was obviously not strict.

Lorraine became more confident. When facing Amani, he even confidently shouted [Detained without reason] to spy on Leonard's current situation.

In the end, Amani did not disappoint him at all, and the sentence [hand over to the security office] made the whole thing clear.

Leonard was not caught.

With Shaq's personality, if treason or espionage was involved, he would organize a court-martial overnight, and Leonard would also be transferred to the court-martial to be detained pending trial. He would never be able to watch over the guards, who seemed like a private soldier.

Now there is only one problem left.

What was the status of Leonard when he was arrested? Did Shaq go all out to force Lorraine to ask for a meeting, or did he really notice something and planned to use Lorraine's behavior to get the truth.

When I see Leonard, all this will be clear...
