Reborn As a Pirate

DCS Ye Lai Xiang, the full name of Drake Marine Group's flying shear Brigentine experimental ship Ye Lai Xiang is the fastest brig in the world.

She has a limit speed of more than 20 knots. In contrast, she has only 6 shipboard light guns of poor caliber.

She is not a battleship, not an armed merchant ship, but a high-speed merchant ship that is most in line with the fearless era in Lorraine's heart, the prototype of a clipper ship.

The actual design of the flying shear ship has entered the final stage of demonstration by the flying shear project team led by Edmund Heite.

If all goes well, the 38-meter-long three-masted ship will begin to customize its materials next year, with Bermuda cypress as the main material, no firepower, and a small steam engine instead of part of the manpower for sailing, with a design speed of up to 25 knots.

The sailing history of mankind will thus enter a new era.

Feeling the speed of the Ye Lai Xiang, Lorraine was in a very good mood along the way.

is really very good.

Although it is undoubtedly a disappointing thing to cooperate with a politician to pretend to be hypocritical, but social interaction is like this.

Sincere friendship weaves human nature, and false intimacy is the cornerstone of building a civilized society.

What's more, Lorraine has no real enemies.

The pirate empires in the Caribbean perished, the pirate empires in the Mediterranean bowed their heads, and the pirate empires in South China became Drake's in-laws.

His fleet sailed on the five oceans, and it has been 15 days without any news of an attack. All the pirates regarded the pure pansy as a majesty, respected and worshiped it, and carefully hid it. The fangs of greed are avoided from body to mind.

What is the goal of the next class?

Lorraine hopes that mature clipper ships will be put on the market before 1800, and real dreadnoughts will be designed and launched before 1850.

At that time, the Drake standard will become the only industrial standard on the ocean. He may not be able to see the grand event, but at least future generations will erect a bronze statue for him.

He began to think about the problems after birth, which means that socializing will become the most important battlefield in his future life. Seeing this, Lorraine naturally no longer felt conflicted.

Anyway, a new life has to start.

Wai Rust is a good island, and Lorraine felt really satisfied with it as a starting point.

...

On the 7th of the boat trip, Lorraine once again saw the familiar South Bank of Wai Rust. What used to be Pier 17 is just 20 kilometers away, and even closer, a small Sloop pilot ship is approaching.

Sloop took over, and the pilot climbed onto the deck by climbing the rope net. Lorraine looked at the familiar face unexpectedly, thought for a while, and finally found the corresponding name from his mind.

"Alsace... gold?"

"Mr. President Drake!" Alsace held Lorraine's hand in surprise, "The last time I said goodbye in a hurry, I haven't been able to thank you for rescuing Madam Patriarch!"

"Pirates are the common enemy of mankind, Mr. Jin. It is the duty of every gentleman to rescue the kidnapped lady, and we don't need to be grateful for the duty."

"But Morgan owes you a favor." Alsace insisted, "Mr. President, I have been waiting for Valkyrie, but I didn't expect..."

"Ye Laixiang is the youngest girl in Drake's high-speed family, and I just want to introduce her to the distinguished gentlemen." Lorraine explained with a smile, "What's more, the whole world knows that my girl has suffered a little injury. "

"By the way, the decisive battle of New Providence!"

"It was that great naval battle." Lorraine said lightly, "The last black baron finally did not escape again, and he has the consciousness to bet his life. He is indeed an enemy worthy of respect."

"Black Baron Pavlomy..."

Muttering Pavlomy's title, Arthas fell into a strange trance.

Unknown, Lorraine waited for a while, and asked helplessly, "Mr. Jin?"

"Ah! I'm sorry." Alsace woke up with a start. "Black Baron Pavlomy, I attended the entire trial in New York and saw his end."

"I remember his real name was Royerry Cherberg.

Did you know? He is actually a Bostonian, born in Back Bay, we may have met when we were young..."

Lorraine felt that he had somewhat captured the reason for Alsace's loss of mind. The super pirate who has been famous in the Caribbean for more than ten years is his fellow countryman. This feeling is probably not too different from the feeling of seeing a star at a class reunion.

He patted Alsace's arm kindly: "Mr. Jin, Pavlomy is a good opponent. He proved that Bostonians have the talent to dominate the ocean. You can be proud of such a fellow countryman, even if he is an outlaw. .”

"I'm not proud of such a fellow countryman." Alsace said seriously, "The pirates destroyed the century-old auction brand of the Morgan family, and we haven't recovered from it. Seeing him cut in half by the guillotine is God has given me the greatest gift."

"He was beheaded?" Lorraine asked differently.

"He was beheaded," said Alsace. "The roving court held that the pirate empire was destroyed, and the United States no longer needed to make pirate wind chimes to deter the shipping lanes. Out of humanitarian considerations, Wilfort of Governor's Island was also put down and thrown into the They don't deserve a tombstone."

"A wise judgment." Lorraine joked, "Is there no one in the jury who knows that pirate empire and pirate are two different concepts?"

"Many people think that the pirate empire makes the pirates, just like the shipyards in Boston build the ships."

"Aha." That's the end of the topic.

Lorraine glanced at the position of the sun and asked softly, "Mr. Jin, which pier should I stop at this time?"

"The pier on the north shore, berth No. 5." Alsace flipped through the register, "The auction of Shelter Villa is already a historical term, so we built a normal pier on the north shore during the renovation, and most of the guests will park their boats. go there."

"I see……"

The Eucalyptus sailed around the island under the command of Alsace.

Passing through the cape that once witnessed Valrhona's high-speed rescue, Lorraine saw a row of piers, with about a dozen berths, and five or six ships parked sporadically.

There was a ship that was particularly huge among those ships, and Lorraine could report her data with her eyes closed.

HMS Lion, a British standard three-tier battleship, is 52 meters long, 15 meters wide, with a mainmast height of 44 meters and a displacement of 1,800 tons.

As the main battle pillar of the Royal Navy, she has a double-layer full-cover gun deck. The lower layer is equipped with 28 32-pound long-range guns, the upper layer is equipped with 30 18-pound long-range guns, 12 stern guns and 18-pound guns. 2 eight-pound mortars, two forty-eight-pound mortars, and a full load of 550 sailors.

She was launched into service in 1775, first as the flagship of Vice Admiral Elijah Drake, and then, three years after the sailing accident, as the flagship of then Captain Shaq Drake, until now.

Since she has only served the Lord Baron of Tavistock during her more than ten years of service, she is also known as "Drake's Ship" in England, and her significance to the Drake family is extraordinary.

She parked at berth No. 2, which is very close at hand.

Lorraine's face was gloomy. He looked at Alsace maliciously, and asked word by word: "Mr. Jin, is the pier of your chamber of commerce crowded?"

"The newly built pier is indeed not spacious, but it is Admiral Davis' kindness to arrange you and your brother together." Alsace pretended to be puzzled, "Mr. President, I hope you will like this surprise."

"like……"

"I like it very much!"
