Reborn As a Pirate

One, two, start!

One, two, start!...

Stepping on the reef and dragging the trawling net with their hands, the sailors pulled the heavy rope out of the water with all their strength.

After a while, a wooden box that was almost rotten covered with seaweed was dragged up, and the people carried it on their shoulders and threw it on the assault boat, and rowed vigorously towards the Golden Deer, which was moored far away.

The Golden Deer was also full of excitement.

Under the command of Carmen and Noya, twenty or so swift sailors hoisted the seabed treasures onboard, broke open the wooden boxes, washed them repeatedly with seawater buckets until they were confirmed to be clean, and then scattered them. Shovel the broken valuables into the basket, pass the pound, and register.

This is an incomparably huge gain.

The salvage has been carried out for more than an hour, and according to the feedback from Yacharin at the salvage site, it has entered the final cleaning.

They fished out more than 140 kilograms of gold, 1.2 tons of silver, and three small boxes of large and clear gemstones from the bottom of the sea. The initial valuation has exceeded 40,000 pounds.

This made Lorraine miraculously think of the lost east corner and the harvested mulberry elm.

Because of the assault boat, he lost a readily available fifth-tier ship, but also because of the assault boat, he ran into the treasure ship where the Spaniards lay buried on the bottom of the sea, and the salvaged property happened to be equivalent to a destroyer, just like God's compensation for him.

This put Lorraine in a good mood.

Two and a half hours later, the Golden Deer, which had searched the sunken ship, returned home to join the fleet.

Nelson looked at Lorraine dissatisfied: Drake, you are two hours behind the meeting time, I need to explain!

Every assault boat is very important, my admiral. Lorraine smiled like a spring breeze, My assault boat got stuck on the reef, and the Golden Deer couldn't get in. In order to save time as much as possible, I almost sent all the crew It was thrown into the water and soaked for a whole day.

Uh...really?

Nelson looked at the sailors on Lorraine's boat who were washed extremely clean like white pigs, and had to admit that Lorraine's words were very convincing.

After all, based on his understanding of Lorraine, in addition to being concerned about wealth and risks, Lorraine was more competent than most soldiers when he was incorporated into the army.

Letting the sailors dive for no reason...it doesn't look like Lorraine's style.

In the admiral's palm, Lei Ting raised it high, and put it down lightly. After an innocuous next attention, the fleet set sail again.

The newly launched fleet was slimmed down to six ships.

The Black Goat escorted the Northern San Juan back to Port Royal, leaving behind only the four assault boats, and then the cable towed behind the Eros' ship.

The team drove for five hours without wind and waves, and finally saw the silted San Juan River Beach in Lorraine's vision.

Under Nelson's order, the fleet anchored 500 meters offshore, and the Eros and Cyclops lowered their small boats to undertake the task of patrolling and guarding, and the cordon spread three kilometers away.

In the security circle, the Golden Deer yelled and lowered the assault boat, and Lorraine called Yacharin and Carmen to his side.

The first half of the sea-sweeping operation is a landing battle. After the landing team successfully grabs the beach, the command of the fleet will be handed over to the prairie lion and Colonel Cornwallis. In order to keep the land operation confidential, before capturing Managua, the navy will No action will take place.

So then you will have a relatively long rest time.

When I was away, Acharin was in charge of bringing the fleet back to Port Royal, and the Golden Hart needed repairs. Those surprises were sent back to Lucy by Carmen, and the sailors on the ship were awarded ten pounds each, as a special allowance for the flagship. .”

After dealing with this, Carmen, you take Noah back to New Orleans. Although you can't help much on the voyage, with you, at least Katerina can negotiate. people.

Carmen squinted her eyes in shock and said, My captain, aren't you going to take Noah ashore?

Noah... Lorraine rolled his eyes almost to the sky, A hypocritical Puritan is willing to fight side by side with Assassin, but he doesn't want to watch the witch use evil magic. What can I do?

...

The personnel plan will be finalized soon.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce issued a total of twelve small boats, excluding Lorraine, Heina, and Barto, and selected forty-eight outstanding sailors, most of whom were experienced stormtroopers, and four skilled boatmen.

The small boats leaned against the two large ships in groups of two and unloaded supplies, ordnance and troops.

In the navy, except for the sailors assigned to the small boats, only Nelson and his 20-man guard were landed. The commander of the guard was Sergeant John Sikes.

For the army, there are four reinforced companies, each with 100 infantry, 10 marching drums, 10 flag lieutenants, 10 gunners, 2 land artillery and 5 officers in total including company commander, adjutant, artillery chief, sergeant major, and chief of staff. A total of 540 men, plus Major Spencer and his bodyguard of twenty.

In addition to the military supplies, food, water and medicine for 700 troops to fight and consume, the busy landing operation lasted from the afternoon to midnight. The landing forces of the four companies and related personnel, materials, including artillery and ammunition were all sent to the tidal flats.

Lorraine watched the fleet pull anchor, and squinted at the silent Henna who was following behind her.

You have to apologize first.

snort!

snort? Lorraine blinked angrily for a long time, flicked the hem of her clothes, and decided to play with Nelson.

Nelson was discussing with Major Spencer about the plan to enter the river tomorrow morning in front of the bonfire, when he saw Lorraine coming, he hurriedly waved.

Drake, where is your big fishing boat waiting for us?

Lorraine looked at the map for a while, and pointed to the big bay from the north to the east of the river: Trini River Bend, this is the location unanimously selected by the indigenous sailors. There is a big sandbar there, which is convenient for our boats to dock. .”

How far is this bend in the river from us?

About 15 kilometers along the river bank.

15 kilometers...shouldn't be too deep into the jungle. Nelson clutched his chin uncertainly, Excluding the crew of each boat, we actually have 585 people now, and the small boats can be transported after taking up the ordnance and supplies. 10 people, the large boat can transport 50 people, which is 420 people. That is to say, even if it is crowded, at least one company needs to march through the forest.

Officers need to lead the way! Major Spencer waved his arms vigorously. My guards and I will lead a company on foot. The gun cart and horses will follow me to make room for the rest of the sergeants.

Lorraine looked dejectedly at the two people who were calculating.

Sorry, when I was in Lucy Fields, I heard that two companies should be arranged to walk alternately, why now...

Nelson smiled wryly: Originally, the capacity was insufficient, so the soldiers naturally didn't complain, but didn't you add two big ships to come in...

Lorraine opened his mouth: So they think they have enough capacity, and everyone is unwilling to march?

Nelson nodded slightly.

Which idiot revealed the news in advance?

Nelson glanced at Spencer in embarrassment, and Spencer coughed twice with embarrassment on his face: My adjutant told his cousin who was the chief of staff in the second company, and the next day, the entire landing force knew all about it. ...

More than that. Nelson scratched his nose to hide his expression. The Army has a lot of complaints about Mr. Spencer's reuse of a pirate. It seems to think that... lawbreakers will tarnish the sanctity of this great operation.

Lorraine asked in surprise: Army?

Spencer continued to cough. Sorry.

No need to be sorry. Lorraine took a deep breath, If such a fool appears on my ship, I will hang him on the mast.

Spencer coughed harder: Please do this without telling me. He's my wife's cousin and I can't stand by and watch him being abused...
