Six Hundred and Fifty Disappearing Figure
Late at night, at Pier 6 on Wairust Island.
Valkyrie, who had finished the hunt, was on the east coast of this place, escaped the military disaster during the attack on the island, and docked at the pier where the supporting facilities did not suffer much damage.
The so-called "docking" is of course false.
Having lost all the anchor chains, Valkyrie, who can only be fixed by cables, has no ability to anchor on the wooden plank road for the time being, and the enemy situation on the island has not disappeared.
For the sake of safety, Bell still maintains a three-level alert, leading the first formation of Mystra and Brunhilde to patrol the sea.
Under the protection of Jershkogul, the Guna completed the demasting and deck cleaning. They had already returned to Boston, and Wu Huanhuan dragged the wounded ship and the prisoners.
Neptune was also missing. After defeating the last cotton regiment, the Second Fleet, like a god descending from the earth, she left the mess on Dukov's Rurik and headed north.
Old Dukov became a hero, and the cunning and cunning she did not rush to clean up the mess. Instead, she sent an assault boat to invite out the ostriches huddled on the south bank, and formed a temporary and spontaneous island protection fleet, sharing praises.
Post-war finishing is happening everywhere.
The White Pelican and the Oleander, representing the entire Drake fleet, berthed on the plank road at Pier 6, and took the prisoners and victims on the Bloody Mary to land in a leisurely manner.
"Cotton Jack VII, I will take Alessandro Di Rabi away."
Standing on the embankment, Hamilton said to Lorraine.
"The dignified Pirate King used a fake identity to run for Congress. The key is that he succeeded. This happened in Virginia. Those democrats need to be ashamed of it."
"I'll send this man to Richmond, and I want Thomas Jefferson to decide how far this matter should go before the Assizes get involved."
Lorraine was noncommittal about Hamilton's remarks.
In the attack on the island alone, Alessandro was involved in a series of crimes such as identity fraud, concealment of election campaign, illegal armed forces, robbery, kidnapping, and murder. to the Assizes Court.
Hamilton was going to hand over the prisoner to Jefferson. To put it bluntly, he was going to use illegal means to cover up the political scandal. By the way, he also used Alessandro as a handy tool in the political struggle between the two major doctrines.
With Alessandro in hand, the Federation will win this political struggle.
But the key to the whole issue is not victory or defeat, but that no matter what price the democrats pay in the end, the result is far better than an open and fair trial.
So this transaction will be a win-win, political win-win, judicial failure, while the judicial failure, the separation of powers insisted by Washington will also usher in a major failure.
But even if this person is tied up in front of Washington in this matter, will Mr. President ignore the face of France for the face of the judiciary?
The idea was so interesting that it almost made Lorraine laugh.
Lorraine curled his lips: "Old Dukov did a smart thing. After the Smart Man left, he first set up an island guard, and then cleaned up the mess. I heard that the pirates on both sides of the northwest coast escaped during his two hours of delay. More than half of them also robbed a lot of property and ships.”
"Alexander, what about your loss?"
"The loss was heavy."
Hamilton was not surprised by Lorraine's move to change the topic. With the word miserable on his whole face, he almost raised the flag and wrote densely about his irreplaceable contribution to Wai Rust.
"The docks have fallen,
Solomon's crew and Chamber of Commerce personnel were killed and wounded, and the Saint's Footsteps was once captured. "
"However, it was precisely because of the simple throw that the pirates were not in a hurry to get the gold out of the bilge. Your first formation arrived on the scene in time, and the pirates turned from victory to defeat, and the slow-moving Saint's Footprint was also abandoned by them until In the end, it will be returned to Zhao in its entirety."
Hamilton squeezed his eyebrows: "How is it? When are you going to receive the 150,000 pounds?"
"150,000..." Lorraine froze, "Sorry, I don't need to borrow any more."
Hamilton's expression became serious: "On the way back, I heard rumors that I searched the whole ship and found no design drawings. Is it true?"
"Really." Lorraine spread out her hands with a helpless expression, "Because the matter is of great importance, after the capture of the ship, Karen invited Ms. Morgan and several other gentlemen to watch the whole process of the transfer of people and objects. The drawings were found, and the so-called Deputy Chief of Staff of the Strait Fleet was missing.”
"Any clues?"
"Alejandro Dirabbi admitted that Morgan's mole provided guidance for his actions, and he also gave six names, which Ms. Morgan will investigate on her own."
"Because of the traitor, Alejandro claimed that he learned of the fighting on the South Bank shortly after Mr. A shipment of spoils."
"As far as he knows, there are a total of three expulsion ships loaded with prisoners and trophies. Bloody Mary and Coquettish Rimbaud were captured by us, and mean Wiggins escaped."
Hamilton frowned deeply: "Your Excellency, the Deputy Chief of Staff, and the blueprint happened to be on the escaped ship? Is it such a coincidence?"
"He said he didn't know." Lorraine gave an answer that was not expected by Hamilton at all, "The loading of the spoils and the boarding of the prisoners were not registered. Alessandro Di Rabi said that he had never heard of the Deputy Chief of Staff. Your Excellency and the blueprints. They may or may not be on board."
"What about the other victims?"
"Everyone is in danger before and after boarding the ship. No one has the energy to pay attention to others. Only Ms. Morgan insists that your Excellency and the design plan were indeed hidden in the shelter before it was breached."
"It's confusing..." Hamilton sighed, and both of them fell silent.
The design of Fury was missing, along with the deputy chief of staff of the Channel Fleet of the French Navy, a genuine general of a superpower, and a noble nobleman who brought it along.
This is not only a big business worth 400,000 pounds, but more importantly, the value of this set of design drawings.
Will the pirates recognize the value of this set of maps? Can you find a shipyard with sufficient technical level to build ships for them?
If the third-tier battleships flow into the pirate world, what impact will it have on the current world structure? Everything is beyond measure.
Then again, in fact, there is no reliable evidence to prove that the pirates stole the map.
Alessandro Di Rabi was arrested. He had no reason to hide it for others. Ms. Morgan insisted that the design was robbed, but she could not give any testimony about where it was robbed.
Lorraine also has an undisclosed clue, the summoning order.
Alessandro Di Rabi handed over the original summoning order, answered many questions and created more questions.
The real convener of the summoning order is Edward Blackbeard, which explains why the hound Henry and Bonnet will honestly accept Cotton's orders, and also explains why the united Black Prince Group deserted overnight.
But as the convener, why didn't Blackbeard personally participate in this attack on the island?
There is also the content of the summoning order.
Lorraine had guessed a lot, including the lore of Lorraine, the bribery of a certain political force, or the auction.
Originally, in the last two rounds of auctions, eight black market 32-pound guns of unknown origin would appear. The pirates probably took a fancy to these heavy guns and wanted to use them to compete with Lorraine.
Pirates may also be targeting plans for the Fury.
After all, unlike the regular Lorraine, as long as they have money, pirates have a great chance to find a shipyard willing to build ships for them. Even those ship equipment, the restrictions in the gun factory are far less strict than those of the world order. .
They are outlaws in the first place, and they have a natural advantage over Lorraine in challenging the system.
However, the finally revealed answer made Lorraine's thoughts almost empty.
The content of the summoning order is only three points: first, to kill Lorraine; second, to rob millions of pounds worth of auction items and auction prizes; third, to kidnap wealthy bidders to further increase Tidao's profits.
In short, this big operation that brings together two Pirate Kings and one Pirate King candidate has only one purpose, [big ticket].
Seeing the summoning order, Lorraine's first reaction was that Alessandro Di Rabi forged the content of the summoning order.
Because the Shelter Villa auction has been held for more than 20 sessions, the pirates have never attacked this black market prosperity, and there is no reason to make an exception this time.
And Alessandro's explanation is that the Shelter Villa auction has been held under the protection of Great Britain since the first session. New England is the core colony of Great Britain in North America. No matter how crazy the pirates are, they will not really challenge the maritime powers. bottom line.
When the Revolutionary War began, Great Britain lost New England. The previous three Wai Rusts were all in the confrontation zone between Britain and France. The pirates had evil intentions, but no courage.
Until this session, Wai Rust officially became the territory of the United States.
The heroes of the Caribbean are dismissive of the sea power of the United States. Lorraine believes that the pirates have no reason to challenge the United States, but in the eyes of the pirates, they have no reason to give up millions or even tens of millions of pounds on the island for a mere United States. income.
Isn't it trampling on the dignity of the United States? What do the kings of the Caribbean fear?
Ridiculously true, Lorraine is won over by the ignorance of the band of pirates.
They should know nothing about the undercurrent of this auction, they are just a group of thugs who are greedy for profit, doing a crazy thing for profit.
The sky-high return of millions of pounds was enough to blind their reason, and it also explained why the lore of Lorraine was so perfunctory, and why Blackbeard, as the convener, was absent from the action.
The reason is very simple, Blackbeard may have heard something, so he was scared when the matter came to an end.
This realization made Lorraine extremely depressed, because in this way, Fury would truly disappear.
It may be on the escaped Mean Wiggins, or it may still be on the island, or it may have melted into the smoke of the refuge, and disappeared without a trace in this world.
"The commission is about to fail..." Lorraine let out a long breath.
"Maybe it's a bit inappropriate, but I have to say that this is good news for the United States." Hamilton joked.
"Good news?" Lorraine gave Hamilton a blank look, "I look forward to the United States' response to this attack on the island, this is the first."
He said: "Secondly, since the previous loan agreement has not been implemented, I think our verbal agreement should be invalidated. Drake will not sign any discount agreement with the United States. If the United States wants to continue to order warships from the maritime group, Please refer to the market price."
Lorraine left after speaking, leaving Hamilton standing there dumbfounded for a long time.
"Wait! Lorraine! Mr. President Drake! Our agreement should have been implemented in the box, right? God is the witness, and Mr. Dukov is the witness!"
"Hey! Lorraine Drake! You profiteer! You are shameless! Shameless!!!!"
...
SHAAAAAAAAAME...
Strange shouts drifted along the wind over Wyrust, and Drake's arresting team had already returned, but Pavlomy did not go to Pier 6 to meet them.
He walked alone on the beach in the north, listening to the sound of the waves, and looking at the battlefield.
He directed the entire show, sacrificing hundreds of innocent lives, duping two Pirate Kings, and a super-thug who could become a Pirate King any moment, in order to steal the Fury from the world's attention.
Henry the Hound, Cotton Jack, Bonnet the Viking...
Hearing that the Black Prince Bellamy died in the black coupon left by the Hounds, his token was handed over to White Flag in the form of inheritance.
As a result, five roses bloomed on the flag of Baiqi, leaving only Blackbeard and himself.
In the history of the Caribbean, this achievement is second only to the first generation of Pavlomy.
Can you stop him?
Pavlomy swept across the sea without desire, when suddenly he heard the sound of crashing waves.
A human-shaped monster rose from the sea not far away, staggered, and walked towards the beach.
He saw Pavlomy, his weak body suddenly raised up, propped up his shield, held his sword, and assumed a fighting posture.
Thick blood splashed from all directions.
Pavlomy watched all this calmly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the strongest human being in the world, you survived..." He said loftily, "It seems that this is God's will, let me pick you up in the smoke of the battlefield."
"You think so? Bonnet Eriksson..."
