Reborn As a Pirate

At the end of October, autumn is getting stronger.

In my impression, the pain of the hot summer seems to be yesterday, but when the clouds cover the sun, people can really feel the wind blowing.

Qiu's footsteps ran from the land to the sea, with the coolness of the mountains and the polar regions, lightly kicking the faces of the sailors.

Hey! Hey! ha!ヾ〃 Aw~

In the clear autumn, in the depths of the open Bay of Biscay, two high-spirited fleets are shuttling between the waves like knights.

They are the first and special service formations under the direct fleet of the Drake General Chamber of Commerce. Today is the first formal fleet-level confrontation exercise since the formation of the direct fleet.

Maritime combat drills are absolutely new in this era.

Because of the development of naval guns to this day, the high temperature and pressure when they are fired have long since reached the point where only metal bullets can withstand them.

Cloth-wrapped lime will definitely catch fire and leak in the bore tube. Although rubber and wood bullets can barely be fired, they will be far from actual combat data due to deformation problems, resulting in loss of reference value.

Naval battles are inseparable from artillery battles, and artillery battles are inseparable from artillery shells. If metal bullets are really used... Where is the drill still a drill, is it internal strife?

In short, the news of the infighting in Drake's direct fleet spread across the New World like a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. This groundbreaking live-fire drill attracted the attention of all parties as soon as it was made public.

Drill all parts in place.

White Fang: The special service formation of the fleet directly under the Drake General Chamber of Commerce.

Flagship Valkyrie-class frigate Artis Lady, 54 doors;

Liaoshishen-class destroyer Mirai, new code, 40 ships;

Bermuda Brig-type frigate HMS Ostrich, 26 doors;

Bermuda Brigantine communication ship Sunflower, 16 doors;

Formation commander Pierce Artis.

Black: The first formation of the fleet directly under the Drake General Chamber of Commerce.

Flagship second-generation Samurai-class destroyer Mystra, 42 doors;

Lieutenant-class destroyer Brunhilde, Grey, 40 doors;

Bermuda Brig-type merlin, sea parrot, sea sparrow, frigate bird, white pelican, 26 doors;

Bermuda Brigantine Dark Champagne, Hydrangea, Oleander, 16 doors;

Formation Commander Favna Hanji.

The comparison between the two sides is as high as 5 to 11. Regardless of the number of ships, guns or the total number of sailors, the first formation has an absolute advantage over the special service formation.

And such a huge hardware difference seems to further prove the authenticity of the rumors:

.

That's right, this is a completely personal grievance, a duel between love and hatred, and a typical example of private use of public weapons!

The impulsiveness of young people completely became the weakness of the Drake Chamber of Commerce in this incident.

President Drake lost control of his subordinates. Although he still came up with a good excuse to deceive ordinary people with his quick wit, everyone knew that no matter the outcome of this battle, the once powerful direct fleet would be destroyed. Great loss of energy.

The Drake fleet, which is as powerful as the colonial government, is finished!

Lorraine Drake will end up in such a ridiculous way, the situation in the Caribbean will usher in a turning point, the sun will be covered by dark clouds, and the evil will rise again...

Who else will stand up to protect the interests of businessmen?

The pirates united because of the activity of the Baishang Association, who should be responsible for those pirates who are about to lose their shackles?

and the future...

Amidst all kinds of speculation and worry, the hour hand moved to 9 o'clock.

October 28, 1785, at 9:00 a.m., cloudy, high wind, moderate waves.

Yacharin solemnly walked onto the deck of Valkyrie holding the black and white double flags.

we have everything!

The port side is 1000 meters ahead, the solid ammunition is full, and the order is to fire three salvos, ready...

Fire!

boom! ! ! ! ! boom! ! ! ! ! boom! ! ! ! !

...

Mystra, three hours ago.

The sun is rising.

The petite Favna was wearing a big windbreaker and lying on the upper deck like an extension of the bow, her face was red and her head was lowered, letting the scattered drift sea cover most of her face, only her bright red lips and pointed nose were exposed.

In front of her was a map of the sea area of ​​the battlefield. The ten-kilometer-long and wide sea was surrounded by land on three sides. It seemed that there were no islands and reefs, but countless lines were added on the sea map according to the ocean currents and depths.

These lines are added on different transparent layers, stacked together to see the obvious regularity.

She continued to add wind environment, tidal lines, fishery routes and other hydrologically related layers, but it was almost impossible to have an impact, and they were rarely included in the consideration of seven or eight layers.

The sea chart finally became a mess, and the sea surface was covered with dense lines.

Favna took a deep breath, finally covered the formation map, and wrote vigorously in the blank space.

After more than half an hour...

Admiral, are you done? Grimm, the deputy admiral of the formation and the captain of the Grey, asked cautiously.

Hmm...mianmian...

Favna's head lowered more and more, almost completely sticking to the thick writing board.

Thin, floating voices came intermittently from the board, like a chart talking.

Trust is such a magical thing sometimes.

More than 20 big men, old and young, the captains of the ships and the sailors of the flagship surrounded a little girl who was as shy as an ostrich. Believe in it.

Now that the homework is done, it's time to issue the order.

The men waited with their hands tied, and Valrhona pinched the edge of the large backboard with her small hands, and handed it to the only woman beside her, Anne Rowling, the first officer of the Mystra, while trembling and dodging.

Order! Annie supported a one-meter-long and wide board with one hand, her upper and forearm muscles bulged, First, each ship inspected the drill shells thoroughly, and the admiral found that some shells were leaking, and the proportion was about 3%. It will affect the hit effect. This part of hidden danger must be eliminated before actual combat!

Yes! The sound of more than twenty people shook the world.

Second, serious thinking! The Lady is of the Valkyrie class. Although we have an advantage in the total number, please don't forget Basseterle, the pirates also have an advantage in the total number!

yes!

Three, the basic tactic is to divide and attack together. Mystra, Merlin, and White Pelican entangle the Lady, while hydrangea and oleander travel outside to prevent them from breaking through.

yes!

Brünnhilde fights against the future, Gray fights against the new generation, sea sparrows fight against ostriches, sea parrots, frigate birds, and dark champagne attack sunflowers. After defeating sunflowers, attack in reverse order!

yes!

Fourth, send a special lookout to receive the flagship order, and the details of the battle order are subject to the semaphore!

yes!

Fifth, the pursuit line is set to five kilometers from the flagship, and the poor should not pursue it!

yes!

After the order was delivered, Annie put down the big board, leaned into Favna's ear and whispered, Admiral, please speak.

Ah...then...everyone... Favna twisted her windbreaker and died, It's still early, Yun...you are allowed to change shifts...please go back and rest.

The captains return to the ship! Annie translated with a sonorous voice, puffing her chest out. The entire fleet organizes meals, shifts in two shifts, and waits for the battle order! Do you understand!

yes!

We follow the goddess of victory! cried Annie.

The shy goddess is invincible! Everyone responded.

The first formation...

Invincible!
