0317 The crime of civilization
Blufields.
Located in the middle of the east coast of the Nicaragua region, Blufields is not only the largest port on the east coast of the region, but also the hub and center of the Royal Navy's mosquito coast patrol missions.
On the afternoon of the 7th, the direct fleet that was absent from the Cang Qing Dewdrop rushed into her sea level view.
Yesterday, Lorraine accidentally picked up Lef in the indigenous fishing village in Providencia.
This Viking Berserker with great martial arts and a stubborn mind survived the disaster. Not only did he gain love there and enjoyed the life of a fisherman for more than a year, he also brought up a five-year-old son.
This kind of life experience of being a father will definitely not be accompanied by a serious blood relationship, but Lef and Jekali are true love. If you don’t understand this, you will start to believe in Odin and the cheap son of the God of War Tyre.
True love is both natural and responsibility. The Berserker has responsibility. The only request to board the ship is to let Lorraine settle his family.
This is not difficult for Lorraine.
There was a group of Indians who were having a lot of fun in the manor in Lucy, one for more, not more, and one for less.
The little thing is far from the age of a fixed life. In the future, whether you want to graze with the Indians or follow Leif to become a seafarer, Lorraine has corresponding channels.
Even though they wanted to continue fishing, Luci also had a vast private coast and the vast natural fishing grounds were no longer cared for. No matter how conditions were calculated, it was a problem than even drinking water. Providencia, which had to save money from doing trade, was much better.
Carmen persuaded the woman named Jacqueslie to leave her hometown without much effort, and the blue dewdrops became their passenger ship. They separated from the large army early this morning and sailed back to the construction of Lucie private port alone.
After relocating his family and having no worries about his back, Lef became Lorraine's new stormtrooper captain. Barto continued to serve as the captain of the fleet, and his personal position was adjusted to the deputy admiral ship, the God of Love.
This time, Leonard was left in Lucie for infrastructure construction. The half-toned Pierce was in charge of the Eros. With Barto's full help, his psychological pressure finally reduced a lot.
When the fleet arrived in Lucifields, Lef stood beside Lorraine with a large fur shield harvested from Bimini Island and stood with a Viking sword called [The Uncrowned King] with a vigor.
"Admiral, Lucifields is a small harbor. The depth of the shallow water is only 3.65 meters even if the tide is high. It cannot accommodate ocean-going ships above the level 6. Even standard Brigentina and Brig have to be careful when entering the berth."
"The anchorage of this port is one kilometer away from the coastline, and is a small island called Blouf on the right. There are nine anchoring boardwalks with a water depth of 9.6 meters, which can basically meet the in and out of all warships and large ships."
Lorraine looked at Lef strangely.
"Uh, there's no other meaning...Lef, I always think you're not the kind of person who cares about these details."
Lef stroked his light forehead honestly: "The admiral feels right. If it were any other port, I would never understand hydrology. When Gemini asterisks it was Bonnet's business, it was your business when it came to your ship."
Lorraine looked at him steadily: "Then here?"
"This is Lucifields, the capital of the Mosquito Coast. The British listed the Mosquito Coast as a protected area, and they actually protected the Indian Misquito Kingdom. And just so happened that the indigenous people of Providencia were also a branch of Misquito."
"Since Jekali and I got married, I was probably worried that I would abandon them and run away one day. Whenever the village chief had time, he would drag old Abella to describe their great capital to me. Those were what old Abella told me just now. I just listened to it every three days, and I just couldn't forget it."
"I can hear it, thank you for your hard work."
Lorraine comforted his stormtroopers perfunctorily and ordered the fleet to turn and sail to the outer port anchorage of Bloof Island.
In fact, Lorraine knew everything that Leif said.
As the admiral and first navigator of the direct fleet, he had obtained most of the basic information about Lucifields and the Mosquito Coast through the Chamber of Commerce from the first time he determined his destination.
Central America was the first colony announced by the Spanish, including Nicaragua, Honduras and Costa Rica, and the Pan-South Caribbean was the only back garden in the Spanish Kingdom for a long time.
Until Francis defeated the Invincible Armada.
Britain rose, Spain fell, and Great Britain began to stretch its tentacles to Central America, first in this port called Lucifields, which was in 1601.
But Spain in the early years was far less harmless than now. They continued to raid Lucifield and its surroundings through naval and subordinate pirates, and were preparing to completely drive the British into the sea from land.
So the British supported the most powerful Indian native Miskits, and in 1638, they created a Miskit kingdom that was only recognized in Great Britain, claiming that the entire east coast of Honduras and Nicaragua were the territory of the Miskit kingdom, and regarded themselves as "the protector of freedom, independence and justice", transforming from a colonist to a protector.
The Mosquito Coast is the protection area of Great Britain for the Miskito people, and it is also the "boundary" of the Miskito Kingdom.
The conflict of interest between Spain and Great Britain created this strange and peaceful Indian kingdom.
The Miskitto people and some tribes related to her gathered here, thrived, and built scattered towns and villages.
The people served their common masters with taxes and labor, His Majesty Odman, the King of the Miskitto, and His Highness, a Regent appointed by the Governor of Jamaica, now his Highness is named Clayton Dickens, with only the rank of Army Sergeant.
The rustic Indians...
Lorraine had no reason to think of the slave rebels who were abandoned by Britain in the defense of New Orleans and the slave rebels who were joined by him and Lesheed to advance into the abyss.
The ending of the Miskittos is almost destined. Those who do not trust civilizations are slaves, and those who trust civilizations are betrayed, just like that.
...
The Golden Deer rushed into the outer port anchorage in agility. Lorraine stepped on the boat and took a look at the desolate outer port.
There are not many ships in the outer port, nine plank roads and eighteen berths, and only seven were occupied, and three of them were warships with the meter-shaped flags, two were four-level and one was five-level.
Lorraine guessed that they were the sea-capturing fleet prepared by Sir Parker for Nelson.
This is an obvious and quirky configuration.
Class IV ships are often used as formation flagships for patrol missions in regional defense. They have strong firepower, large physique, high defense and slow reaction. In addition, their configurations are limited, so it is almost unheard of for the two ships to be organized together in small formations.
But the highlight of this time is landing operations.
Considering Major General Darling's desire for merit and victory, the number of so-called "small landing troops" should not be less than two reinforced companies, with a total of 240 infantry plus 4 land combat light artillery. In addition, there are at least 20 artillery soldiers assigned to artillery, and perhaps horses and artillery chariots.
In this way, the large size of the fourth-class ship has become an irreplaceable and important advantage. The two ships are a masterpiece that takes into account both transportation and combat power.
As for the problem of unresponsiveness that the fleet may present...
Anyway, Sir Parker must have known that Lorraine would join the war with the newly formed direct fleet.
The characteristic of the direct fleet of the General Chamber of Commerce is its briskness and flexibility. Once it is assigned to the sea-leaving fleet, the two sides will form a task force including two patrol ships, three destroyers and two different frigates. The balance and stability are enough to deal with most situations.
"It's worthy of being the old fox's abacus..."
Lorraine murmured to herself, and when she looked up, she happened to see three heroic naval generals coming together.
Nelson, here it is.
