(I’ll say important things three times: Some time ago, I was affected by the harmonious rules of objective factors, and the limelight was tight. I also started self-examination at the starting point. The fireworks mentality changed a lot, which led to Wang·Cement Dunzi·
Xuan didn’t dare to cause trouble anymore, it’s my fault, this chapter just started, what a bullshit plot, it will be more exciting when it is done!)
"Captain, we don't have enough food!"
Wang Xuan was stunned, so fast?
You must know that he had emptied the last three pirate lairs, and he also fished every day to get a lot of food. After all, the amount of training was so heavy, it would definitely not work without enough meat supply.
If that doesn't work, you can only go out and hunt whales and sharks. Those things are big and hard to carry!
Hunting whales and sharks is not difficult, especially sharks. You can directly hunt them by luring them out and firing an iron gun from a three-pounder.
I persisted like this for half a month again, staying here for almost two months in total. Wang Xuan was finally satisfied with the team's situation!
Damn it, damn Jack's not here yet!
On the other hand, the pirates under his command were also suffering from stress. Although they persisted under Wang Xuan's high pressure, they were almost reaching their limit and proper relaxation was still needed.
What's more, I don't have enough gunpowder in my hand, so I need to go out and replenish it!
You can see the shortcomings of pirates here. Although you can make a fortune quickly by robbing and other activities without any restrictions, you don't have your own base and many raw materials are restricted, making it difficult to develop greatly.
Of course Wang Xuan will not follow this old path, he still needs to establish his own base and power.
At the end of the day, the Intrepid and the Interceptor sailed out of the island, followed by six pirate ships with a displacement of three to four hundred tons.
However, before setting off, Wang Xuan had already ordered people to clean up the place, and all pirate signs had been removed.
His destination this time was somewhat special, it was Port-au-Prince, a British colonial port in North America.
Wang Xuan’s purpose is to obtain supplies legally and at no cost!
They were not far from Port-au-Prince, about two days' journey away. Wang Xuan did not let the six boats approach. He once again changed into the uniform of a commodore, and asked more than 400 of his men to change into British navy uniforms.
These uniforms were all confiscated from James before, so they can be used openly and openly to deceive the other party this time!
The Dauntless and the Interceptor swaggered onto Port-au-Prince, flying the naval flag, and were warmly welcomed by the governor here.
The Panama region had just been declared a colony in 1717. It had just been under construction for a few years. Although it had been occupied by the British before, the entire port was poorly constructed. The city walls on the seaside were not tall and there were only about thirty cannons.
How many doors.
Of course, although the thirty-odd 36-pound guns are not many, they are built in fortifications after all. Neither the shooting accuracy nor the defensive capabilities can be compared to the artillery on the ship.
As long as the defense is properly defended, even the Dauntless will not be able to attack it forcefully. The only way is to force a landing.
Of course, these are for defense against foreign enemies. Naturally, there is no need to be wary of one's own naval flagship.
When the Governor saw Wang Xuan on the dock, he was stunned for a moment. After all, his skin color was a bit special. He was obviously an Oriental, but the two warships behind him were not fake. For a moment, he didn't know whether to hold one in his arms.
What's the idea?
"you are?"
"Call me Wang Xuan, I have business cooperation with the East India Company." Wang Xuan smiled slightly, not feeling nervous at all about his impersonation. He had been a boss for three years and naturally developed
A kind of demeanor of being in a high position and controlling life and death.
The governor was obviously stunned when he heard Wang Xuan's name. He vaguely seemed to have heard it before. When he heard about the East India Company, he understood everything. Now Britain has huge interests in the entire East India. Naturally, there are people from them in the navy.
There's nothing surprising about it.
"I wonder what the Brigadier General's mission is for coming here this time?" the Governor asked with a slight salute.
"Of course, we need to clear up the pirates. The activities of pirates have affected the interests of our British Empire and must be completely dealt with!" Wang Xuan said with determination and murderous intent.
"This is really good news." The governor laughed twice. He was also very annoyed by the pirates active in the Caribbean. These guys were like poisonous snakes, always coming out to bite people inadvertently. It was really annoying.
bother.
"I don't know how I can help!"
"Of course, I need a lot of supplies, gunpowder, shells, food and clean water."
"no problem."
The Governor spared no effort in supporting the Royal Navy. Wang Xuan did not stay any longer after receiving the supplies. He agreed to destroy the nearby pirates and then hurriedly set off after having a drink with the other party.
After joining the six pirate ships moored in the distance, Wang Xuan headed straight for Richie Reed's lair.
If you say fight pirates, fight pirates. Commodore Wang Xuan is definitely a man of his word!
Moreover, this is also the time to test the success of more than a month of training. Although it is not long, the training tasks given by Wang Xuan are large and very targeted. It is time to test it in practice.
Rich Reed's home base is in the Bahamas, Grand Bahama Island in the north, very close to the Miami area in the east and south of the United States. His main robbery and activity range is on the east coast of North America, and his main robbery target is also in the United Kingdom.
fleet.
Wang Xuan did not get the benefits of the British for nothing.
Rich Reed has more than 20 large and small ships, and more than 2,000 pirates under his command. Of course, his main combat power is only 4 fourth-level battleships, but they are all old-fashioned, with a displacement of about 400 tons, and each ship has 40 guns.
, including 10 24-pounders, 20 12-pounders, and 10 6-pounders.
All told, Rich Reed only had 40 24-pound cannons that could pose a threat to Wang Xuan, and the rest of the small cannons did not concern Wang Xuan at all.
Of course, even so, Wang Xuan would not take it lightly, and still made arrangements in the hope that he could defeat them one by one.
To put it bluntly, it's still the same trick as luring the snake out of its hole. This time, the Interceptor is still responsible for the task of luring the snake. Who can make him faster? And Wang Xuan and others are lying in ambush on the side of a small island, waiting to suddenly appear and beat their opponents.
Don't worry about rubbing your hands.
On the first day, the interceptors walking nearby only encountered less than 300 small boats. But of course it didn't take so much trouble to harvest this kind of boats. They just pulled out ten artillery pieces, and the opponents immediately ran away after one round.
Arthur didn't chase him, he just slowed down the boat to see if he could attract more people.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a squadron of 5 ships to catch up. As soon as he saw the prey approaching, Arthur immediately ordered to start slowly accelerating, keeping a distance of about 300 meters upwind, as long as he maintained the leading speed.
The advantage is to not give the enemy a chance to fire artillery.
They chased and escaped, heading straight to the island where Wang Xuan's troops were hiding.
When the target had just passed the small island, Arthur followed Wang Xuan's instructions to reduce the ship's speed and brought the opponent close to within two hundred meters. Dozens of sailors suddenly came to the stern of the ship and shook open large cloth bags...
(One more thing, the old book club group exploded while driving and was permanently closed. I opened a new book club group, 908932066. Don’t drive this time. I hereby declare that although I am the group leader,
It has nothing to do with various driving phenomena in the group!)
