[Comprehensive British and American] Collection tasks from aliens

"My ship needs a lot of sailors and crew members. Ask them if they want to stay here? It doesn't matter whether they are men, women or children." Hearing what Chris Ella and Roger said, at this time Roger asked Chris Ella asked these people: "If there are people who don't want to work here, I can send them to Haiti. Although it is not very good there now." Haiti's residents are mostly black.It was not until 1804 that it was officially free.

"Need to say this? They might agree." Chris Ella muttered, but she still murmured something to the group of black people.Chris Ella knows that on a ship, the captain is always the biggest one. Even if the captain is not right, you should not resist.No rules no standards.

In fact, as Chris Ella muttered, after the blacks finished speaking to Chris Ella, Chris Ella turned to Roger and said, "Captain, none of them want to get off the ship." "

In this evil 18th century, the life of black people is absolutely below one level.Because of all kinds of slave ships, as long as they are seen, they will be marked with the mark of their belongings, and then they will be captured and sent to other places.However, during the transportation of the black people, because of the stuffy cabin, germs often breed, coupled with the bumpy sea, countless black people will die halfway, and then the bodies will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

This situation makes black people basically die early or die painfully in this era, and have no other choice.

"If that's the case, let them sort out the things and supplies in the cabin first." Rogge looked at the black people in front of him who heard him tell them to disembark with fear in their eyes, and turned to Chris. Ra said.

"Okay." After nodding and talking to the black people, Chris Ella let all the black people go back to the cabin.

"Captain, you... oh no, we are the ones who took this ship away now. Then our relationship with the East India Company is hostile, and the East India Company will definitely include us in the category of pirates. At that time, not only Whether it is the British Royal Fleet or the East India Company will arrest us, once we are arrested, we will be hanged according to the law." Chris Ella said to Rogge.

Rogge didn't care too much about the fact that the relationship with the East India Company had changed to hostile. Anyway, the East India Company was not a good thing.Moreover, the boats have already been obtained, so what are they doing?Roger thought, now that he has completed the occupation of this commercial ship, there are only him and Chris Ella on the deck, as well as the old crew members who have passed out in a coma.Then he doesn't care about those things.

Now that the ship has been snatched, Rogge and the others should leave here as soon as possible.After all, once the warships of the British Royal Fleet come here, Rogge can only be defeated. Although this commercial ship looks very domineering, her combat effectiveness is still not comparable to the battleships of the British Royal Fleet .Rogge's mental power is not so strong that you can fight a group of fleets by yourself.

"Chris Ella... Although we have some black friends, they basically can't do anything. Cleaning the boat is fine, but it is absolutely impossible to control the boat. So, we look I still have nothing now, and I need to recruit a new batch of crew members. I still lack a bosun to manage these black people. You know, you are the first mate of this ship, and you can’t always communicate with those black people as an interpreter. .And I still lack a few qualified sailors." Roger and Chris Ella explained in detail what he lacked.

"And there is one more point!" Rogge thought of saying again at the end: "We don't have much time. It is best that we finish these things within 2 hours." The longest period of mental shock coma is 2 hours. hours or so.If the original people on the ship wake up later, Rogge will be in trouble.

"What's so difficult about it." After hearing Rogge's words, Chris Ella smiled: "As long as they work in the port, most of them are interested in the big and yearning to go to sea. One move is accurate. Here I know most of the people here, and it is easy to find such people. Captain, give me half an hour and I can find all the people you want." Saying this, Chris Ella hurriedly got off the boat up.

In fact, it didn't take Chris Ella half an hour. In just 10 minutes, she took four men on board.None of the four men was white, all of them were local blacks.According to Chris Ella's introduction, one of them is Thomas, who came to be Rogge's boatswain, and he has rich sailing experience.The other three were sailors who had come with Thomas.

"Very good." After getting acquainted for a while, Roger nodded and said to them: "So, from now on, we are a family. I think Chris Ella should have told you. How did our ship So, we must be pirates after we go to sea. Please don’t forget this! Now, let’s sort out the cargo on the ship, and we will go to sea in an hour.” After saying this, Rogge was about to walk to the ship Head to see.

"By the way, throw all these things on the ship." On the way to walk, Rogge kicked the original owner of the merchant ship who was still unconscious, and said.

"Yes, Captain!" Several people shouted loudly.Then he turned around and left.And Rogge walked slowly on the deck of the ship.Looking at the blue sky in the distance, and the sea water that is about to join the sky.But after that, he began to observe curiously the sailing ship that he thought was an antique.

The present era is the age of great exploration.But to put it bluntly, it is only the 18th century.At this time, because the age of steam had not yet been recorded, all ships were wooden sailing ships.

In the early eighteenth century, a second bowsprit was extended in front of the bowsprit to accommodate the jib attached to the stays, which made the original bowsprit and topsail, as well as the bowsprit sail, both Gone, only the yard of the bowsprit remains, allowing the bowsprit to hold its attached rigging securely.By the end of the [-]th century, another bowsprit was added forward of the second bowsprit, which was used to set the jib.

At the end of the eighteenth century, as top sails began to appear on the mizzen, extreme top sails were added to the foremast and main mast. , a sailboat with at least three square sails per mast was born.However, such ships are generally used for commercial purposes, just like the one Rogge currently owns.

Of course, the sea is dangerous.Therefore, artillery and sailboats are two sides of one body, and basically all ships will have artillery on them.Over time, the British continued to improve artillery technology, increasing the rate of fire and introducing the heavy Caron Cannon, which was devastating in close-quarters melee combat.

Moreover, because of the improvement of cannon technology, people began to divide the ranks of ships.Ships are divided into 6 classes by the number of guns they have on them.From the first grade to the sixth grade.The higher you go, the higher you go.

First-class ships - 100 to 130 cannons are installed on the sailboats, and ships with three decks.This is the flagship belonging to the senior admiral.

Second-class ships-install 90 to 98 cannons on sailboats, ships with three decks.A low-ranking admiral and the flagship of a fleet stationed overseas.

Three-tier ships—including 80-gun ships, the powerful two-deck 70-gun ship, which is the main force of the battle fleet and the largest number of battleships; and the two-deck 64-gun ship, which is the smallest Class battleships gradually faded out of the battleship fleet at the end of this period.

Tier 40 - She has about [-] cannons, single or double deck ships, is a "flattened" two deck battleship with the upper deck removed, has a solid hull and better armament, but also Retains the original slow and clumsy sailing characteristics; or a heavy frigate built for special purposes.

Tier V ships - 30 to 40 cannons, standard frigates with a single deck.

Tier VI ships—ships with less than 30 guns, are small ships, used to deliver letters or escort, including sloops, sloops with vertical sails behind the mainmast, gunboats, etc.

The ship that Rogge now owns may not have enough cannons, but its size, speed and other soft and hard strengths are all enough for a first-class battleship.Therefore, Rogge feels very lucky to be able to get such a good ship in one go.

"It seems... I really am the protagonist..." Rogge thought silently.

However, in "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is no longer a materialistic world, this level is not so useful.After all, the famous Black Pearl and Queen Anne's Revenge are nothing more than a three-masted Tier [-] ship. As for the most mysterious Flying Dutchman, it is only comparable to a Tier [-] warship.If it is true that level determines everything, these three ships will not have to be mixed.

After all, in "Pirates of the Caribbean", there are many scenes where naval warships are destroyed by the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman...
