Set Sail! Storm in the Caribbean! Chapter 15 Historical Scenario Battlefield
Chapter 15 Historical Scenario Battlefield
Fang Senyan still had a few pounds of spare money at this time, so he simply ran around the bars in Tortuga Port, but he only drank the three types of "Lanricola Lime", "Lemon Hart Rum" and "Mulantan" that were required to achieve the drunkard's condition. Fortunately, he also got news about the other two types of wine. Lambs potato rum can be obtained on the British warships anchored in the port, and there is also a collection of Kusba Rum in the Tortuga Port Castle.
However, Fang Senyan's wallet shrank significantly again for these two pieces of news. At this time, Fang Senyan once again felt the importance of a high charm value. This is not just a matter of saving money, but also a great deal of time saving, and even more and richer intelligence information can be obtained at a lower cost... However, Fang Senyan looked at his single-digit charm value helplessly and shook his head. Although this value is not the lowest at this time, it is still far from enough for him!
The importance of the team was also highlighted at this time. I believe that if Kerry was in the team, they would naturally be able to select the most attractive people to gather intelligence, the strongest people as commandos, and the strongest people as the main force of the attack. With such a clear division of labor and internal cohesion, it is undoubtedly possible to greatly reduce the difficulty of the task. Dig deeper and faster potential.
However! The team is important, but Fang Senyan wants a team that can be completely under his control! If his position is in the embarrassing position of "others eat meat and I drink soup", the fate of being abandoned at any time is definitely not what he wants.
After shaking his head, Fang Senyan forced himself to throw away the distracting thoughts in his mind. He was continuing to collect intelligence in the streets of the port and checking the movement rules of the guards in Tortuga Port. The three legendary pirate ships anchored in the port suddenly raised the skull flag! And then they fired loudly, the sound of the guns was very regular, three long and two short, and then the smoke had not yet dissipated, and various horns sounded on the ships, only the Flying Dutchman was played with a huge conch shell.
Sheyan was startled when he heard the cannon fire. He immediately thought that the pirates had reached a consensus to attack Tortuga Harbor directly, but he immediately rejected this proposal in his mind. Because no matter from all aspects, the time to attack and plunder Tortuga Harbor is far from ripe! The pirates, who were originally a group of scattered sand, could not form an alliance and reach a consensus with such efficiency! So in this case, it should be that a contractor triggered some major emergency!
At this time, it can be seen from a distance: "The Bell and the Wineglass" also began to raise the sail, and the boatswain One-eyed Dragon Caron also raised his head on the watchtower and blew the horn made of buffalo horns vigorously. Although Sheyan had just joined the group and didn't know what this meant, it would not be wrong to return to the ship immediately.
When Fang Senyan boarded the deck of the Bell and Goblet, he immediately received a prompt from the Nightmare Mark:
"Authentication passed..."
"Contractor 1018 has been recognized by Ammand, and is currently a crew member of the pirate ship Bell and Goblet."
"Contractor 1018 has obtained the qualification to enter the historical scenario battlefield: The Destruction of the Invincible Fleet (Prologue)."
"Contractor 1018, do you want to follow the pirate ship Bell and Goblet into the historical scenario battlefield: The Destruction of the Invincible Fleet (Prologue)? Yes/No."
Historical plot description: With the advent of the Age of Exploration, Spain relied on the navy to plunder a large amount of wealth. By the end of the 16th century, 83% of the world's precious metal mining was obtained by Spain. These riches undoubtedly greatly stimulated domestic prosperity. In order to protect its maritime transportation lines and its overseas interests, Spain established a powerful naval fleet with nearly 100 warships, more than 3,000 cannons, and tens of thousands of soldiers. This fleet roamed the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, proudly calling itself the "Invincible Fleet."
When Britain rose, it seriously threatened Spain's monopoly on colonies, causing the hatred of King Philip II of Spain. At that time, Britain's maritime strength was not strong and it was difficult to match the Spanish naval fleet. It could only rely on pirate groups to attack and rob Spanish ships carrying gold and silver at sea and engage in pirate activities. The British Royal Fleet took the opportunity to slowly grow. The contradiction between the two was ultimately irreconcilable.
In order to compete for maritime hegemony, Spain and Britain The United States and Spain fought a world-renowned, fierce and spectacular naval battle. Spain clearly had an absolute advantage in this naval battle. Unexpectedly, the outcome of this naval battle was a devastating defeat for Spain, and the "Invincible Armada" was almost annihilated. Since then, Spain has declined rapidly, and the status of "maritime hegemon" has been replaced by Britain.
The historical scenario battlefield that is about to be experienced is the prologue of this magnificent naval battle!
Faced with such a great opportunity, Fang Senyan naturally clicked yes without thinking, and a series of prompts were given again:
"Historical Scenario Battlefield: The Destruction of the Invincible Armada (Prologue)"
"Three merchant ships that set sail from the New World are sailing a hundred nautical miles away, and their cabins are filled with gold, jade, and treasures looted from the New World. Because of their deep draft, their speed is very slow, and even the slowest pirate ship can easily catch up with them."
"However, the owner of the merchant ship, Fernandez, was an extremely shrewd man. When he set sail, he realized the huge risks in the process of sailing, so he spent a huge amount of money to hire four warships from the Invincible Fleet for escort. After a long voyage, most of the journey home was over. Unfortunately, at this time, they were discovered by a fast sailing ship of the British Royal Navy. The news was quickly leaked to the flagship of the British Royal Navy fleet, the Endeavour, which was anchored in Tortuga Harbor. The Endeavour quickly told the pirates anchored in Tortuga Harbor about this news. The two sides formed a temporary alliance and set sail to catch up with the Spaniards...
Here we cannot fail to mention the delicate relationship between the British Royal Navy and the pirates at this time. Under normal circumstances, it is naturally illegal for pirates to rob merchant ships. This This means that the relationship between them is destined to be like the police and the thief. But some pirates are the ruined nobles of Britain, and they usually have a "letter of marque" issued by the Queen of England, which means that as long as they don't rob their own ships, they are legally protected by Great Britain - or if they rob their own ships, as long as the news is not leaked. Such pirates are usually allies of the British Navy. And even those evil pirates, as long as they are willing to turn over a new leaf and show sincerity, and donate part of the looted wealth to the Queen of England, they can still get the title!
If all these factors are entangled together, it can be said very simply that the contradiction between the British Navy and the pirates is an internal contradiction among the people, and both sides can talk, but the Invincible Fleet is the enemy of both sides, and it is an external contradiction between the enemy and us. So I found it difficult to deal with the Endeavour. After identifying this fat Spanish fleet, it was only natural to leak this information to the pirates. Both parties knew each other well! In the face of huge interests, they naturally hit it off and formed a temporary alliance to work together!
The sea breeze was strong, and the sails of the Bell and the Wineglass were full of wind, swelling up, and strongly pushed the ship to sail forward at high speed in the sea. The hull of this medium-sized North Sea three-masted square sailing ship looked slender, and with the ramming horn on the bow, it was like a flying fish with wide gray and dark blue stripes gliding at high speed, occasionally breaking through the waves and leaping out of the water, and occasionally gliding flat on the sea surface, looking light and elegant.
At this time, the ship was also full of a tense atmosphere. The gunners were constantly checking the loaded ammunition. They had to place the gunpowder barrels in a convenient and not easily At the location where the attack was made, the one-eyed dragon, Kalon, was shouting at the sailors to sharpen the blades of their swords. For the speed-focused Bell and Goblet, it was obvious that hand-to-hand combat was the main means of attack for these pirates. For a perverted ship like the Endeavour, which was equipped with nearly 200 cannons, it was natural to use the firepower advantage to bombard the enemy to collapse first.
At this time, Fang Senyan became the focus of everyone's attention. These pirates had seen too many strong men on land shrunken into weaklings and vomited all over the shaking ship. Most people were dissatisfied with his killing to establish his authority, so there were many people watching the joke on the side. Who knew that Fang Senyan was walking leisurely on the shaking deck, like strolling in the garden, and he also helped people tie sails and reinforce the side. He looked like a skilled person who had lived on the sea for a long time.
