Six Hundred and Ninety-Seventh the End of the Black Beard
Lorraine and Blackbeard have a friendship, and even the Blackbeard Group is the only team in the entire Caribbean that has really cooperated with Lorraine. Naturally, this friendship is not limited to individuals.
Leif and Chamuyam are drinking buddies, and Zainy has coached Hina. The confrontation between the two sides is inevitable. They are not friends, but they cherish each other.
Lorraine has a similar relationship with Blackbeard.
Now that the outcome is decided, the house will collapse for some time, and Blackbeard is not capable of taking Lorraine's head in the army of millions, so Lorraine doesn't mind giving him the last freedom, and by the way, he will also solve the problems in his heart Insignificant doubts.
"So, how did you get involved with these spoiled little mice?"
This question seemed difficult to answer. Blackbeard thought for a long time, poured two glasses of wine at the bar, and walked across to Lorraine with the glasses.
Lorraine gave up the footrest sofa, sat down, and pushed one of the glasses in front of Lorraine.
"I'm surprised you didn't know," he said.
"Should I know?" Lorraine asked back, "I know the Canaan ritual and his relationship with Henry Morgan, but they should be separated."
"Because capital has the instinct of whitewashing. More than a hundred years have passed, and the current Canaanite ceremony should develop more like a freemasonry than a sea brotherhood."
"In general, your guess is correct." Blackbeard nodded in agreement, "but there is a little deviation. You have always regarded the pirate empire as a main body, thinking about what the Canaanite ritual is like in the empire, and what it would be like to leave the empire. .But really, it's just a tool."
"Henry Morgan built perhaps the most powerful tool in the world, the Pirates of the Caribbean Empire, with thousands of savage, lowly, humble, stupid pirates who can be easily incited."
"It allows those chambers of commerce that cannot obtain privateering privileges to harm the enemy without harming themselves. Moreover, this method is so cheap and easy to use. As long as a flag is erected, there is no need to laboriously hire or worry about it. damages and compensation."
"Bai Qi, are you really willing to give up such a useful tool with the capital in your mouth?"
Lorraine suddenly realized, and then laughed: "It turns out that in your eyes, the Privateer Chamber of Commerce is really just a group of legal pirates. Let me think about it...to rob by order?"
"if not?"
"Privaters are a privileged class.
Lorraine raised his legs and looked at Blackbeard, "Take myself as an example. The Drake Chamber of Commerce has a history of more than ten years, and there are almost no enemy merchant ships that have been robbed in accordance with the principles of war. But we are still regarded as the most pure-blooded privateer association in the past fifty years, why? "
"First, about 1/4 of my assets are robbed, robbing pirates, robbing troops, robbing hostile chambers of commerce that have declared war, and robbing countries where Great Britain has declared war."
"This ratio even exceeded 1/2 in the early days of the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the value-added speed of traditional businesses is slow. In ten years, it is impossible to turn three hundred pounds into six million pounds anyway."
"Second, I am fully aware of the privileges afforded to me by the privateer's license."
"In Martinique, I bombarded Le Francois, destroyed the French fleet, and ended up with French tax breaks in the pan-Caribbean colonies."
"In San Carlos, I detonated half of the town, and gained the friendship of the Spanish nobles who were captured at the time. The Nicaraguan colonial government listed me as an unwelcome chamber of commerce, but it was just unwelcome. For me They didn’t even have a single condemnation on paper.”
"There is also Muscat. I seriously injured two Portuguese battleships and divided up an independent country with a group of people. However, Her Majesty the Queen of Portugal still has to go to court with me in Madrid, and she also lost the lawsuit, the king of a country Not only can I not do justice for the officers and soldiers who died in battle, I have to pinch my nose to recognize my legal status in Portugal, and carefully protect the sacred rights entrusted to me by the contract."
"The privateer license represents the country. All my actions, as long as they do not violate the interests of Great Britain, represent the will of Great Britain. Great Britain is powerful, so I can be unscrupulous."
"But what about you? What do you represent? Represent the will of the pirate empire? Canaanite regards himself as a privateer of the pirate empire?"
"Thousands of savage, lowly, humble, easily incited stupid pirates gave you rights, and now rights cannot be guaranteed, so you, His Royal Highness Blackbeard, represent the great pirates like a dog Has the empire come to seek justice for you?"
Blackbeard fell silent, and sat there, sipping his wine one sip at a time.
Until the wine glass bottomed out, he whispered: "You are wrong again, I have always been our dog."
"Ridiculous, you've always been..."
Lorraine's ridicule froze in mid-air, and he suddenly figured it out.
Different from those Pirate Kings after the golden age of piracy, Blackbeard's majesty comes from victory, from the undisputed victory achieved by challenging the ocean powers again and again.
Only talk about the record related to Lorraine.
At San Carlos he slaughtered Marat's villa with a few dozen men, then breached the dam fortress, and beheaded the Spanish grenadier's commander in their quarters.
In the second association war, the Blackbeards broke through and looted Port-au-Prince, an important city of the French Empire.
It was the fall of Port-au-Prince that heralded the advent of the golden age of post-piracy. It was Blackbeard who really started this era of piracy, not Lorraine, a titular "fake pirate".
However, Blackbeard should not have breached Port-au-Prince.
It may sound a little incompetent and furious to say so, but the fact is that as the new artillery that can fire explosive bombs is included in the military list of the world's powerful countries, it becomes impossible for warships to attack the coastal defense fort equipped with the new artillery. task.
Port-au-Prince is such a military port that will not fall. The number of new forts arranged along the port is... sixteen.
It has been five full years since the Second Association War ended, and Lorraine has not thought too deeply about Blackbeard's method of breaking through Port-au-Prince.
Thinking about it carefully, he has no means at all, the only possibility is the internal response, more than one high-standard internal response.
This is not the kind of network that pirates can make.
Lorraine seemed to be acquainted with Blackbeard himself for the first time. He is a super-pirate that the Canaanite ritual took many years to shape, a running dog of the capitalists, and a false God of War armed with conspiracy rather than bravery.
Lorraine was surprised to find that he was disappointed in his heart.
He laughed at himself: "Actually, ever since I learned of the existence and origin of the Canaanite Ritual, I have been wondering whether the Canaanite Ritual has anything to do with the pirate empire these days."
"As I said before, I think they have been separated, but the Canaanite may support some agents in the pirate empire and do some shady things for them. The murder of Saigon Abif, this case is full of brutality Although gentlemen also have a savage side, their savagery is very amateurish, and this matter is more like the work of professional lawbreakers."
"Who is the agent of the Canaanite ceremony? Five minutes ago, I firmly believed that it was Pavlomy. He was arrogant but timid, selfish and hypocritical. Who knows, I guessed completely wrong."
"Pavlomy?" Blackbeard's eyes glowed strangely. "That's right, Pavlomy is the same as me. In fact, all the big pirates in the Pirate Empire have our shadows behind them, and you are the only exception!"
Lorraine frowned deeply: "All the big pirates?"
"Yes, that's right, all the great pirates!" Blackbeard laughed happily like a lunatic, "I have already told you the biggest secret of the Canaanite ritual, for the sake of San Carlos fighting side by side, can you Can't let me go?"
"Unfortunately, no."
Lorraine lost her ability to talk, and stood up in a state of disenchantment.
"You are lying. I don't know who you want to frame or protect, but there is no doubt that you are lying. This is the first reason why I can't let you go."
"My allies and I have agreed that from the moment you become a prisoner, your disposal rights belong to the Philadelphia ceremony, which is the Freemasonry of the Americans. I will not interfere if you kill or release, this is The most important reason, probably."
"The Americans will use their laws to judge you, and whether your end is on the gallows or the farmland, we should never see each other again."
"Farewell, Arsonist Wilfort, I wish you good luck in the trial, and I will ask God to bless you."
