Reborn As a Pirate - v2 Chapter 707
DCS Ye Lai Xiang, the full name of Drake Maritime Group Flying Shear Brigentine experimental ship Ye Lai Xiang, is the fastest brig in the world.
She has a speed limit of more than 20 knots. In contrast, she has only 6 poorly caliber light shipborne guns.
She is not a battleship, not an armed merchant ship, but the prototype of a high-speed merchant ship that best fits the fearless era in Lorraine’s heart, the flying shear ship.
The finalized design of the true flying shear ship has entered the final demonstration stage by the flying shear project team led by Edmond Haite.
If all goes well, the 38-meter-long three-masted ship will start to customize its ship materials next year, using Bermuda cypress as the main material, without firepower, and a small steam engine to replace part of the sailing manpower, with a design speed of up to 25 knots.
The history of human sailing will thus enter a new era.
Feeling the speed of the Ye Lai Xiang, Lorraine was in a very good mood along the way.
It’s really very good.
Although cooperating with a politician’s hypocritical attitude is undoubtedly a disappointing thing, 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 empire of the Caribbean has perished, the pirate empire of the Mediterranean has bowed its head, and the pirate empire of South China has become Drake’s in-laws.
His fleet travels on the five oceans and has not received any information about the attack for fifteen days. All the pirates regard the pure **** as a majesty, respectful, admired, and carefully hide it. The greedy fangs, from body to heart, avoid it for fear.
What is the goal of the next class?
Lorraine hopes that mature flying shear ships can be put on the market before 1800, and real dreadnought ships can be designed and launched before 1850.
By then, the Drake standard will become the only industrial standard on the ocean. He may not see the grand occasion, but at least, posterity will build a bronze statue for him.
He began to think about the problems after birth, which means that social interaction will become the most important battlefield in his future life. Seeing this, Lorraine naturally no longer resisted.
Anyway, a new life is about to begin.
Werust is a good island, and Lorraine feels satisfied with it as a starting point.
…
On the 7th, Lorraine saw the familiar South Bank of Wai-Rust again. The former Pier 17 was 20 kilometers away, and a little closer, a small Slope pilot boat was approaching.
Slup took the board and the pilot climbed onto the deck with the rope net. Lorraine unexpectedly looked at the familiar face of the visitor. After thinking for a while, he finally found the corresponding name in his mind.
“Alsace… gold?”
“Mr. Drake!” Alsace shook Lorraine’s hand in surprise. “Last time I said goodbye in a hurry, I haven’t been able to thank you for saving the patriarch!”
“Pirates are the common enemy of mankind, Mr. Jin. It is the duty of every gentleman to rescue the kidnapped lady, and we do not 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 Lai Xiang is the youngest girl in the Drake High Speed family. I was about to introduce her to the distinguished gentlemen.” Lorraine explained with a smile, “What’s more, the whole world knows that my girl has been slightly injured. “
“Right, New Providence decisive battle!”
“It was the great naval battle.” Lorraine said lightly. “The last black baron finally did not run away again. With the consciousness of betting on his life, he is indeed a respectable enemy.”
“Black Baron Pavloumu…”
Whispering the title of Pavloumu, Arthas fell into a strange lack of consciousness.
Lorraine waited for a while without knowing it, and asked helplessly: “Mr. Jin?”
“Ah! I’m sorry.” Alsace woke up, “Black Baron Pavloumu, I was in New York to observe the entire trial, and I saw his end.”
“I remember his real name is Royeri Cherberg. Did you know? He is actually a Bostonian and was born in Back Bay. We might have met when we were young…”
Lorraine felt that he had somewhat captured the reason for Alsace’s loss. The super pirate who had been famous in the Caribbean for more than a decade was his fellow countryman. This feeling was probably not much different from the feeling of seeing a star in a classmate.
He patted Alsace’s arm kindly: “Mr. King, Pavloumu is a good opponent. He proves that Bostonians have the talent to dominate the ocean. You can be proud of such a fellow countryman, even if he is a criminal. .”
“I’m not proud of such a fellow countryman.” Alsace said seriously. “The pirates destroyed the Morgan family’s century-old auction brand. We haven’t slowed down yet. Seeing him cut in half by the guillotine is God has given me the best gift.”
“He was beheaded?” Lorraine asked in a different place.
“Beheaded.” Alsace said. “The parade court believes that the pirate empire is destroyed, and the United States no longer has to make pirate wind chimes to deter the waterway. For humanitarian considerations, Wilfert of Governors Island was also put down and thrown into it. Beyond the sea, they don’t deserve to have tombstones.”
“A wise verdict,” Lorraine joked. “Isn’t anyone on the jury knowing that the pirate empire and the pirate are two concepts?”
“Many people think that the pirate empire created the pirates, just like the shipbuilding in Boston’s shipyard.”
“Aha.” The topic ends here.
Lorraine glanced at the position of the sun and asked softly, “Mr. Jin, which pier should I stop at this time?”
“The dock on the north bank, berth 5.” Alsace opened the registration book. “The Sanctuary Villa auction is already a historical term~www.mtlnovel.com~ so when we were repairing it, we built a normal wharf on the north bank. Some guests will park the boat there.”
“I see……”
The Night Lavender circumnavigated the island under the command of Alsace.
Passing through the cape that had witnessed Favna’s high-speed rescue, Lorraine saw a row of piers with about a dozen berths and five or six boats parked sporadically.
There was one ship that looked particularly huge among those ships, and Lorraine could report her data with her eyes closed.
HMS Lion, the standard third-tier battleship of Great Britain, is 52 meters long, 15 meters wide, with a main mast 44 meters high and a drainage of 1,800 tons.
As the main battle pillar of the Royal Navy, she has a double-deck full-covered gun deck, with 28 32-pound long-range guns on the lower level, 30 18-pound long-range guns on the upper level, 12 stern guns with 18-pound guns, and 10 bow guns. Two eight-pound mortars, two 48-pound mortars, and a full load of 550 sailors.
She was launched into service in 1775, first as the flagship of Lieutenant Admiral Elijah Drake, and three years after the sailing accident, she became the flagship of the then Colonel Shaq Drake until now.
Since she has only served the Lord Baron of Tavistock in the ten years of service, she is also known as “Drake’s Ship” in Britain, which has extraordinary significance to the Drake family.
She parked at berth No. 2 close at hand.
Lorraine’s face was gloomy. He looked at Alsace maliciously, and asked each word: “Mr. King, is the pier of your chamber of commerce very crowded?”
“The newly built pier is indeed not ample, but it is Admiral Davis’s kindness to arrange you and your brother together.” Alsace pretended to be puzzled, “Mr. President, I hope you enjoy this surprise.”
“like……”
“I like it very much!”
