Valkyrie, Pierce cabin.
The so-called Pierce cabin, as the name suggests, is "a cabin exclusively for Pierce."
It is located near the side of the side of the lower floor of the stern stairs, two cabins separated from the stern 3 gun door and one cabin from the left 15 gun door. It also has the characteristics of a wide field of view, a solid structure, moderate height, and a quiet environment. It is a first-class Feng Shui treasure land on the ship.
However, since he was appointed as an admiral in the Secret Service formation, Pierce has only briefly entered Valkyrie as an admiral intern in the Muscat strategy.
More time, this cabin is used as a lookout dormitory, a wounded dormitory or a cabin. For example, now, those living in it are the temporary partner representatives of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, Major Harry Sheffield and Lieutenant Rice Milandy.
They joined the trip to Nassau as intelligence experts, originally to provide some reliable and professional support to the Drake Chamber of Commerce, who had no relatives in Nassau.
But it turns out that Sieger completely underestimated Lorraine's deterrence in the pirate world.
Valkyrie drove into the harbor of Nassau like a rash man, Lorraine took seven people to the heart of the pirate empire like a rash man, and then Sieg racked his brains to get the information of the fur.
Valkyrie patted her butt and was about to go home. The greatest achievement of intelligence experts along the way was to overcome seasickness with their own strength.
This frustrated Harry, who was arrogant and proud, and the implicit emotion was no different from the landing and the outlying island in the Halloween operation that year.
Obviously, in terms of human calculations, Lorraine showed far less ability than Sig's, but with just the right amount of recklessness and brute force, she always stood firmly on Lorraine's side.
"If this continues, the double act will become a one-man show..."
Harry lay down by the window and breathed a long breath in depression.
"Major, what are you looking at?" Rice came up curiously.
"Watch the wild boars jump off the cliff together."
"Wild boar? Leaping off the cliff?" Les lay on the railing like Harry, only seeing the unchanging sea, and the Mozui Sea Cucumber, which was chasing closer and closer not far away.
"You feel Valkyri slowing down just now?"
"Um."
Valkyrie's slowdown was obvious, lowering half of the sail, sinking the bow, and diving from 12 knots to 7 knots. Even a landlady like them would not miss the feeling.
"After 79, we were maneuvering in Denbori and supply was cut off. At that time, the Lieutenant Colonel took us to raid a Continental Army horse farm and grabbed enough horses and two weeks of water. Do you remember?"
Les Zheng's focus.
That time, the Eighth Company was ordered to attract the attention of two militia regiments on the wide front. The 1-20-strong force ratio was extremely unfavorable on the battlefield environment, but the supply promised by the headquarters was still as late as usual.
In order to survive, Sieg took them to maneuver repeatedly throughout the wide front, but several consecutive long-distance raids still left the eighth company with ammunition and food, and the wounded soldiers were all over the camp.
Rice was shot in the arm at that time, and was carried by several colleagues in turn. He saw the phantom of the god of death several times.
But in this case, Sieg found a gap between the two militia regiments and grabbed a horse farm, allowing the Eighth Company to ensure the maneuverability of a safe retreat.
"Did the Lieutenant Colonel run away with us on a horse?" Harry asked.
"I vaguely remember that there are too many wounded soldiers..."
"The doctors arrested said that the wounded soldiers would need two weeks to rest, and they were rushing to move rashly, and at least 20 people would die on the road." Harry helped Rice recall the background at that time, "So what did the lieutenant colonel do?"
"Release the news, drive slowly, and bring the closer Leslie group into the valley..."
Harry showed a disgusting expression: "At that time, the lieutenant colonel asked me to take ten people as bait. She told me that the faster the run, the better, but if the Leslie regiment lost it, he would send me to military court for desertion."
"ha?"
"As a result of that time, the Leslie group chased me and the second class for a night. When the next day, she took Ryan to confiscate others' tails and buried the entire regiment headquarters in the valley."
"Leslie's regiment collapsed, Shelsey's regiment fled east, we rested peacefully on the horse farm for more than a month until everyone's injuries were healed, and the suspicious headquarters took over the unguarded Danbori."
"What Valkyrie is doing is no different from what I did at that time." Harry turned his head and looked at the white track of the stern. "She is not slow. Before slowing down, there is an unattainable high speed. After slowing down, she tries her best and seems to be able to catch up with the luxury of just catching up."
"To do all is a spell, it will make people subconsciously ignore other more important things. For the Leslie regiment back then, it was a risk of raids during the pursuit. For the pirates behind us, even if they catch up, what can they do to Valkyrie."
Speaking of this, Rice finally understood what Harry said, although this belated understanding actually had no real meaning.
Valkyrie's actions did not require their opinions. Just like now, probably because she thought Bag behind her was chasing too slowly, Valkyrie made an inaccurate course adjustment, which once again greatly reduced her speed.
The speed is 4 knots, and it has a steady increase.
Her temptation to the Shazui Sea Cucumber number became more and more straightforward. If she had done more effort before, she would be about to catch up with me, then now she would be [during harder, if she didn't chase after her, she would never be able to catch up with me].
The drum and sail chased.
The 9th and 5th quarters were less than a thousand meters away. A few minutes later, the bow of the mozui sea cucumber finally surpassed Harry and Rice's eyes, chasing with difficulty, bit by bit, and moving forward.
Soon she got the firing angle of four gun doors, but Valkyri's speed had returned to the same level as her. No matter how she chased her, she could no longer win the firing angle of the fifth gun door.
This is the limit...
A voice rang in the ears of the captain of the mojizui sea cucumber.
"Main guns 1 to 4, deputy guns 1, and 2 are fully loaded and ready for battle. With the right rudder inclination angle as the signal, each gun is freely projected."
He cleared his throat solemnly.
"Short long ago, Crystal Mountain Coffee escaped, and I think this is a rational and correct choice!"
"After all, we all heard the wail before the sinking of the Great Victory Havana, and her fate told us that Bagh is less powerful than a thin child in front of His Highness White."
"But gentlemen, don't forget that we are all goods rescued by the regiment commander from the slave ship. Regardless of past and future, at least for now, the regiment commander is still the benefactor of all of us."
"Gratefulness should be rewarded!" he said in a true voice, "With the great white flag still treating us as harmless insects, target sailing cables, and leave with one blow."
"No matter how much damage this blow can cause to the flagship of the White Banner, after the gun fire, we will pay off what we owe to the regiment commander. Then no matter how earnest he calls us, we can leave with a clear conscience."
"I promise you this is the last shot of this nightmare!"
"Everyone is fixed!" He reached out and pinched the rope on his waist, "Right full of rudder, hair..."
"The port side was bounced!"
Boom! Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
...
The smoke of gunpowder permeates the sea.
Adelay put down his glass in the smoke, trotted a few steps up the forecastle, and stood attentively to reward Lorraine.
"Captain, Mr. Scott said it would take three to five minutes to re-suspend the sail. He thought this forced slowdown of sails was stupid, and Mr. Judia also felt that you were too relaxed today. This extreme new tactic has no practical value."
"Why do you care so much about the cost-effectiveness..." Lorraine boredly dissipated the fireworks lingering on her nose. "Our project today is to fight hares, not hunt black bears. The rabbit's courage is fragile. If we don't use some tricks, we can only return empty-handed."
"By the way, how are our rookies performing?"
"Because the speed reduction during saturation was extremely chaotic, the ballistics were extremely chaotic. The 22 shellings only hit three times, including the solid bomb direct strike on the bow, smashing the left anchor bay, and a chain bomb hit the hit, and the foremast broke from the upper 13 places."
Lorraine raised her eyebrows: "Above 13? Flying so high?"
"The main reason is that our secondary gun can easily leap over the Bagh-type freeboard. As for crushing the foremast, it is more because of luck."
"Good luck is also part of strength." Lorraine smiled meaningfully, "Broken the foremast and broken the anchor cabin. With these two points, this ship cannot rely on itself to restore its navigational ability."
"Anyway, the little rabbit's legs have been broken by us. Next, we will help the nutria peel..."
