As the saying goes, you don’t have any speculation.

Pierce and Eddie had no gossip and could tell, so after receiving the mission, they naturally returned to their comfortable and swaying Lady.

Everyone was waiting for him on the boat, or rather, waiting for the mission to be announced.

Speaking of which, Eddie's parchment is actually the main reason for the establishment of the entire Secret Service fleet and its departure to Africa.

Eddie has spared no effort to make his own stage since the board of directors passed the African branch construction plan.

He spent a lot of energy to make friends with Lovi Baker, general manager of the African company. By the last progress report in June, it was clear that Baker was interested in entrusting 20% ​​of the tea and 5% of the gem trade to the "strong" Drake Chamber of Commerce for a long time.

This is a huge business commission, and at least for a chamber of commerce that has not yet been officially listed, the potential profit is enough to allow Eddie to agree to any conditions.

What he agreed was to solve some unruly competitors for African companies.

Pierce didn't know the details of the mission, but at least he knew that this mission needed an excellent and powerful fleet to complete.

However, the Caribbean Sea was filled with smoke. After years of development, the pirate war between Lorraine and the two pirate kings not only continued for a long time, but also increased to an uncontrollable level.

The fleet will always be directly under the fleet, and Eddie, who is eager to see, cannot ignore it. Bell, who is afraid of the world, put forward an interesting opinion in a chat. Since Lorraine became the admiral at the age of sixteen, can Pierce, who has been carefully trained by all of them for so many years, be equally competent?

This proposal aroused Lorraine's interest.

Originally, Pierce's growth trajectory would not be inferior to any of the Plymouth Sea School's elites. What's more, the Valkyri-class ship Yatis Lady had been officially delivered for half a year. From the day of delivery, Pierce had moved out of the flagship team and took his young team to take charge of this powerful battleship.

What did Nelson do when he was 16 years old?

Lorraine thought for a long time and vaguely remembered that Nelson mentioned that he seemed to have followed a boat to the Arctic, and was almost scratched into a meat floss by a polar bear...

It seems that Pierce is much better than Nelson of the same age.

He has the conditions to carry out missions independently. Since the combat power of a Lady is not enough to complete Eddie's commission, he will bring out a new fleet as a final assessment of whether Pierce is independent or not.

The Secret Service Fleet was established in this context. Pierce, who was so excited that he embarked on the journey under the intentional concealment of everyone. It was not until now that he truly saw the appearance of the test questions.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Pierce took a deep breath, took off the fire paint, and spread the parchment rolls flat on the dining table that was crowded with his head.

After a long time...

Old Dylan sighed: "No wonder that a Beauty is not enough to complete the mission. The African Chamber of Commerce has indeed taken on a great business for us..."

Freemani also had a bitter face: "Admiral, are you not considering protesting? This task must have exceeded the difficulty of the assessment... Damn it, will people die in the exam?"

Kao kicked Freemanny in the ass with a dark face: "You can get off the boat if you are afraid of death, sir, I always thought you should be the one on the boat who is the least afraid of death, because when San Carlos was at San Juan, the president had already thrown your life in the San Juan River."

"Isn't that a failure!" Freemani covered her butt and became angry, "and I just suggested that the admiral protest, did I say not to participate?"

"The seniors are so noisy..." Looking at the noisy San Carlos duo speechlessly, Adria stabbed Lei in the arm, "Big battle, are you excited?"

"I won't be hit!" Lei was serious.

Everyone looked at Pierce.

Pierce's eyes were filled with a thrill of desire: "Hashim, since I first met you, I felt that you were the navigator given to me by God."

"Um?"

"I originally thought that the matter of avenging you would have to wait for the African branch to mature before it could start planning. Now it seems that God hopes that you can go to the New World without distraction."

Hashem's brow frowned: "Admiral, I don't understand, the name of Antil Raguin is not on the parchment..."

"I have a premonition that he will appear on our way forward, whether as the protagonist or the supporting role, this time, we will definitely have a fight with him." Pierce stretched out his hand and slapped his palm in the middle of the parchment. "The mission has been clear. Gentlemen and my ladies, announce the plan below."

Everyone was immediately calmed down.

"Faramine, the delivery and inventory of the bottom cabin pounds is limited to 6pm. If Eddie Logan can't find a place to store it, we will rent a warehouse for him."

"Yes, admiral."

"Fremany, water supply, medicine, limited time to 9pm, I hope we can set sail anytime after 9pm."

"yes!"

"Turner, after the fleet is docked, sailors are allowed to move freely in two shifts. No drunkenness or prostitutes are allowed. The same is limited to 9 pm. At the same time, the ship is on the second level of alert, all portholes are closed, so don't let people drill in through the porthole and blow up our ship."

As calm as Turner rolled his eyes.

The submerged window bombing is a meme, including the "Implementation Minutes on Entering the Public Wharf", which has been criticized by many people, which is also part of this meme.

It is actually difficult for Turner to understand why people who came out of Lorraine's flagship would be so distrustful of the public docks, but this distrust and corresponding disposal model have become the iron rule of the fleet under the General Chamber of Commerce. In the past two years, there was even a precedent for the captain level to be delegated to the branch due to inadequate execution, so naturally no one dared to neglect it.

He focused his attention on Pierce: "It must be meticulous, admiral."

"Finally..." Pierce clapped his hands, "Dad, third sister, prepare the dress and gifts, let's go and visit Mr. Baker, the master of Cape Town. He wants us to bleed, at least tell us who the opponent is."

...

Who is the opponent?

This question is not actually true.

Royal Britannia Africa Company mainly engages in three major trades, tea, gems and slave trading.

Among them, gems need to be mined from mines, there is no problem of ownership, tea needs to be produced in plantations, there is no doubt about property rights, the only trouble is the slave trade...

After all, before being shackled, every slave is a living person with free thoughts.

The colonial organs established in Africa rarely captured the population of the colony as slave traders. Because colonial construction itself requires a lot of labor, the captured slaves are far more enthusiastic about labor than goods purchased from outside.

Because of this, slave hunting teams tend to hunt abroad. The most common method is to go back along the river, walk out of the border, and then obtain goods through trade or robbery.

This creates a problem.

The African continent, especially the areas close to the coastline, have basically been divided up. If you don’t want to go deep into the wild continent, there is actually only one hunting area left for the slave hunting team, that is, the colonies of other countries.

It can be imagined that this behavior is illegal, not only illegal, but also the main source of most conflicts between colonies.

This is the problem that plagues African companies right now.

For some reason, since the beginning of this year, the Portuguese slave hunting teams that used to be mainly active inland from East Africa began to appear in British colonies at a high frequency.

Moreover, they were extremely greedy and often gathered as thieves to attack those powerful tribes with certain civilized consciousness.

Most of the tribes were friends of African companies. Not only did the two sides have fair trade in wine for gold, they also often became agents of African companies, and legitimately robbed people from other colonies in the name of tribal wars.

Now that my friends are in trouble, Vero Baker can't sleep or eat.

He found out that behind the crazy behavior of the Portuguese slave hunting team were three large slave traders, and these three chambers of commerce were closely related to the Kenyan Governor Husan Fernandez family, so Baker inferred that Fernandez was the real mastermind behind the entire incident.

He immediately sent a business note to the Portuguese African company, and the other party replied that there was no such incident.

So he bypassed the company and issued an ultimatum to the Kenyan colonial Governor's Office. Fernandez personally replied that he would strictly investigate and control it.

However, the day after Fernandez's reply was sent to Cape Town, the Lamto tribe in the Orange River Valley was captured. The escaped chief cried to Baker with a cannon, the Portuguese held up the national flag, and even the cannons in the team...

The angry Baker found the Royal Navy African fleet, hoping that his garrison could teach the rampant Portuguese an unforgettable lesson.

However, he had no evidence that this matter was related to the official Portuguese. Portugal and Great Britain were not in war relations, and Cape Town's military strength was not enough to start a war because of the cry of some indigenous people.

Their primary enemy is still the Netherlands.

Cape Town is closely linked to the Netherlands' Cape Colony. They want to seize the Cape Colony, and the Dutch may also launch an attack on Cape Town at any time.

Mr. Baker walked into a dead end.

The general manager of the dignified African company was nakedly humiliated by the Portuguese, but he could not find any way to punish the murderers and maintain his dignity.

Just then, Eddie appeared.

The strength of the Drake Chamber, the history of the Drake Chamber, and the performance of Lorraine several times being employed by the Navy... If there is any private force in this world that dares to take the risk of confronting the Portuguese Navy, Drake must be one of them!

But...what about the famous Lorraine Drake?

Vero Baker beat the golden statue of Nero that he had just obtained, and looked at the old man, the child and the foreign girl in front of him with a strange expression...

"The Drake Chamber is really going to let you teach the Portuguese slave traders a lesson?"

"Mr. Baker, you just need to tell me who the enemy is and where it is." Pierce raised his head confidently, "Drake is professional. President Logan has the consciousness to take on success or failure unless the employer's own will."

Mr. Bell's eyes narrowed: "Eddie Logan...he is a true friend!"
