0300 Bedtime Stories

This is a rather strange experience of joining the club.

Cut off the solid meeting table, threatened the noble guardian, and claimed that he would hunt pirates as pirates. After doing this, Lorraine took Henna and Barto away from the dome hall.

Just half an hour later, Dylan led more than a dozen seafarers off the ship and sent a brand new flag painted with colorful pupils to the Sea Brotherhood, which was flatly covered with five thousand gold pounds pushed out in a mess.

Dylan pulled out his short gun and pressed the flag, saying proudly: "The Admiral ordered me to convey his greetings and gratitudes, and you made him have a pleasant afternoon. He also said that Tortuga should be renovated, and neither the dilapidated dome hall nor the filthy lakeside holy land, is worthy of a great organization with a brilliant history."

The old captain's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed, and his voice was erratic.

"We only have one problem, the thief who stole Drake's wealth..."

"Alessandro Dirabi, a shameless man who only dares to swing his sword at the surrender. If you think this name is a little strange, he has another name in the pirate world, Pirate King Cotton Jack VII."

"He actually wants to challenge a pirate king?"

"You're wrong." Dylan sneered, "This is not a challenge, it's a hunt!"

...

Bimini Islands.

Although the Bahamas are the exclusive hunting grounds for Cotton Jack, Bimini, which is operated as a base, is not part of the Bahamas.

It is located on the northwest coast of the Bahamas, 80 kilometers away from the coast of Florida and 175 kilometers away from the core town of the Bahamas. Nassau, New Providence Island, is isolated from the world.

This archipelago is mainly composed of two main islands and scattered islands and reefs, sandbanks, and the shelf is approximately an isosceles triangle.

Its north island fits the triangular vertex and the east waistline, narrow in the north and wide in the south. The south island is long in shape to occupy the south bottom line of the triangle, just like a lazy lying silkworm.

The sea in the archipelago is in the middle of the two islands. It is wide open from east to west and narrow in the center, with an average depth of less than 5 meters. Moreover, there are scattered sandbanks in the sea area, with varying depth and complex hydrology. If you want to pass through it, large ships are prone to stranding.

Obviously, this is not a place suitable for human reproduction and thriving, otherwise the greedy colonists would not ignore it and let it become a nest of pirates.

On the fourth day after the declaration of war on Turtle Island, Lorraine led his fleet to hide into an unmanned Palm Island on the east coast of Florida.

This island is a standard dam island with a flat land shape and desolate and long. Because it mainly moves parallel to the coast, the West Beach faces a busy near-shore route, and the East Beach is adjacent to the ocean and is unwilling to care for all year round.

This is the closest location to Bimini on the Florida coast. It is not only a unique place for the fleet to hide, but also an excellent starting point for offense.

Lorraine's fleet moored here and anchored for ten days.

During the ten days, Lorraine would take three-eyed crows to visit Bimini's North and South Islands almost every day. The longest time he took Henna on the North Island for three days, hiding in the dense island woods, and surveying the entire coast at close range.

Until the basic exploration was over, Lorraine gathered all the seamen of the fleet and convened a pre-war meeting on the Palm Island.

"I've heard of Bimini very early," he sat under a tall palm tree, revealing memories. "It was when I was young, 10 or 11 years old. My father, Elia, arranged a deduction guidance for Shaq, with the topic of launching a fleet in Bimini as a strategic extension of Bermuda, fighting with Spain for dominance of the important Florida passage."

"In that battle, Shaq represents Spain. My father was Great Britain. As a result, Shaq won."

"This is the main reason why I can remember this long-standing story. Shaq defeated his father the only time on the picture, so the Battle of Bimini became my only bedtime story for the next month."

He laughed and spread out the charts on the sand.

"This is the terrain of the island of Minnie, with a high profile and a low inner edge. Its natural berths are distributed on both sides of the inner sea, with the South Island berths concentrated in the middle section of the north shore, while the coasts suitable for mooring in the North Island are concentrated in the upper section of the Western Line."

"There are two outlets in the inner sea of ​​Bimini. The sandbars are mainly scattered in the central and eastern regions. There are not many sandbars in the western region, but they have their own unique regularity."

He crossed a short line on the coast of North Island and then moved across.

"Just further west of the North Island berth, along the western waistline of the shelf, almost all the sandbanks and most scattered islands and reefs in the western waters. Although the sandbanks and reefs are not connected to each other, the gaps in the gaps are silted out from continuous shallows, which are less than 2 meters deep. Except for assault boats and small fishing boats, most of the ships cannot be navigated."

"This natural underwater seawall has caused huge differences in port conditions between the two islands in the north and south. The South Island berth is opposite the sandbank area, with complex hydrology, large ships cannot pass through, and a narrow field of view. The North Island berth is hidden deep in a natural safe haven, with a wide sea surface and a good field of view."

"In the battle on the map, my father designed this question because he was attracted by the good port conditions of the Beidao berth. But the final result proved that a good port may not have corresponding military potential. Just like the Beidao berth, the conditions for use as a civilian port are definitely excellent, but as a military port, it has a fatal flaw."

Speaking of this, Lorraine's fingers slowly advanced from Palm Island, and along the cliffs on the northeast coast of the North Island, all the way to the east entrance of the inner sea.

"At that time, Shaq divided the fleet into two. One took advantage of the shallow draft of Brig's ship and sneaked into the east entrance, ventured through the sandbank waters, easily avoided all of his father's observation posts, and closed the door without his father's knowledge."

He made a closing move and moved his fingers gently to the entrance of the bay in the safe haven.

"This is the entrance of the bay. Two unnamed islands and reefs are stuck on the west side, and the remaining width is less than 60 meters. As long as a Brigentina is placed horizontally at the midpoint, the entire port will become a tight pocket."

"And then, another ship was in a grand manner, and broke into the west entrance from the front of the observation post set up by his father. Because the gate had been closed, no matter whether his father's sailors were dedicated or not, Shaq could not stop the fruit of victory."

Seeing that Lorraine had finished speaking, Yacharin touched her chin and looked at the chart in front of her with her head tilted.

"Did Cotton Jack also put his lair in his pocket?"

Lorraine shrugged regretfully.

"The North Island Safe Harbor is a natural trap set by nature for the guards, and it perfectly meets all the conditions of an excellent port. Although the situation of military ports and private ports, navy and pirates is somewhat different, in terms of the result, the cotton Jack of my father was fooled back then, but now it is not possible to detect it."

Orves whistled: "It seems we can celebrate the victory in advance!"

Lorraine nodded for granted: "This battle is codenamed [Insulator]. Next, I announce the specific combat details and personnel plan..."
