"Young and energetic..."

On the quiet side of the sword river, Yero looked at Lorraine with a complicated look on his face.

Lorraine's face was calm and her fingers pointed at the shadows of the sails on the Jian River and recited softly.

"Silently, I left, just as I came quietly, I waved my sleeves without taking away a cloud."

"You let me know that Cambridge is a magical place that records everything that happened. Today I let the banquet end unhappily, but when the prophecy comes true, they will remember today, hate me, and rely on me."

“The question is, how long will it take for that day?”

"It won't take long." Lorraine dusted her clothes and put her elbows on Carmen. "Thank you for your recommendation, Mr. Minder, it's time for me to go back to Plymouth. Even if everyone decides to sit and wait for death, I will resist and go to Cantabrian and look for opportunities for victory."

"The little Drake Chamber of Commerce is ready to fight the Joint Fleet independently?"

A loud laugh rang out of the trail, and Odilan Shacklin walked out of the woods alone.

He failed in managing his figure, looked obese and greasy, and was a little limp when walking. He had to support him with a long umbrella in order to walk steadily.

Lorraine was originally interested in him.

During the brief small-scale exchange before the toast, his position seemed to be the main battle, and like Jero, had the potential to become an ally of Lorraine.

So Lorraine stopped and smiled as she looked at Odilan swaying towards her with her umbrella handle.

"You're going to fight, Mr. Drake?"

"Yes." Lorraine nodded casually. "Before coming, I adjusted the structure of the chamber of commerce and freed up three Brigentinas to form a temporary fleet. I will take them personally to tease the tiger beards of the Joint Fleet and turn their hunting ground into my hunting ground."

"Fight against the strong with quickness!" Odilan stared at Lorraine with appreciation, smiled, and turned his eyes toward Yero, "Yero, old friend, why didn't such an interesting young man introduce me to you earlier?"

"He died a few days ago." Jero shrugged, "I don't think you'd be interested in a dead young man."

"That's right." Odilan accepted Yero's explanation and turned his head back, "You are going to upgrade the broken war into a real war between merchants. What should you do with the Cantabrian trade?"

"Suspend trade, or only retain the North Sea trade. Now Cantabrian has long lost the business environment, and any loss will be enough to make the Chamber of Commerce lose all its money."

"The suspension of the Spanish line will cause huge losses to the Chamber of Commerce. Young people, are you sure to fight and decide quickly?"

"We have no other choice, don't we?"

A brief silence.

Odilan and Jero communicated with their eyes in front of Lorraine. After a while, he asked Lorraine: "How many Brigentina do you think are enough to support you in a big battle?"

The Drake Chamber, Mindle Chamber of Commerce and Shacklin Chamber signed an alliance agreement in Southampton.

The agreement announced that the three chambers of commerce would suspend trade activities across all routes through Cantabulian, and during the war, a fleet of shattered ties was established.

The fleet consists of high-speed Brigentinian frigates, with seven ships, specifically the Drake Chamber of Commerce's Butterfly Flower, Cattail Flower, Lucky Grass, Tuna and Cod of Minder Chamber of Commerce, and the Hurricane and Rain Rain Chamber of Commerce.

The Butterfly became the flagship of the fleet, and Lorraine served as the admiral. The two deputy admirals were Raven of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce and Yasin of the young admiral of the Shaklin Chamber of Commerce.

The three chambers of commerce jointly promised that each Brigentinian type would be worth 5,000 pounds, the losses of the shipwreck and the pensions of the sailors would be jointly borne by the three parties, and the profit would be converted into gold pounds, which would be shared equally by the three companies.

There are also many fine terms, including maintenance, repair, wear and tear, personnel expenses and other fragmented profit-related areas, which will be consulted at any time by Carmen and the full agents of the two chambers of commerce in the Drake Chamber of Commerce, which is temporarily used as the headquarters of the fleet, to be supplemented and improved.

On November 3, with the order of Lorraine, the fleet ships set sail from the Port of Sail in Plymouth.

Lorraine wrote in his sailing diary.

[The signing of the alliance agreement between the Three Kingdoms Chamber of Commerce is the first phase of Cantabrian's battle]

[The second phase of the entry of Vilan Desay and Reindeer into Port La Rocelli]

[In these two stages, we have been in a passive state of being beaten. Facing the superior enemy, the English merchants have no power to resist and can only let the mermaid meat and wail in pain]

[The formation of the joint fleet indicates that the battle breaks into a more cruel third stage. Fortunately, I finally have a trustworthy allies]

[The addition of the Yero and Mindel Chamber of Commerce was expected, and Odilan Shacklin was an unexpected surprise]

[If I have the chance, I have to thank Mr. Razowner Nelson, who is destined to be Audiran's nephew]

[He predicted the situation as pessimistic as I did, and Odiran trusted his judgment]

【It’s really a wonderful fate…】

[I will lead the Bojun fleet into the battlefield. Vilan Desai, looking forward to our next meeting]

...

As long as you can maintain success, robbery is the most profitable business in the world.

The destruction of the Cantabrian waters entered the third stage, and the loose joint fleet of France, Spain and the Netherlands became the absolute overlord on the route.

The situation on the route has thus been further diverged.

On the one hand, British merchants who were weak but unwilling to give up Spanish profits basically gave up their retaliatory counterattacks and formed a large freight fleet. As long as they were not intercepted by the main force of the joint fleet, they could maintain the smooth flow of the business path.

The side effect of this response is that once a large or expensive fleet falls into a preset trap, the price the Chamber of Commerce will pay is too high.

In the past month, four chambers of commerce in offshore guilds have declared bankruptcy, among which the Chalun Chamber of Commerce in Dartmouth is even a director of the guild. The impact of such a cruel situation on the members of the guild can be imagined.

On the other hand, the small chambers of commerce in France, Spain and the Netherlands took advantage of this opportunity to break the war and ruled the Spanish foreign trade market.

The route became busier than before, and the loss of generous English did not cause much impact on Spain's foreign trade.

It is also thanks to the massive expansion of scattered trade in the Three Kingdoms that Lorraine's fleet of destruction has gained a lot.

After more than 20 days of cruise, they launched two pirate lootings, capturing three Hunfan Skuna merchant ships and seven Kirk-types, and sinking one Skuna and Kirk-type each. The total price of the plundering goods is 6,400 pounds.

Although the trade with Spain was stopped, the profits of the three chambers of commerce in Cantabrian showed a strange upward posture.

By the agreement, they divided all the gains equally.

Lorraine liked to have one Hunfanskuna type, named Naga, and was incorporated into the British Transport Fleet. Two Kirk type, named Celtic Warrior, and Irish Poet, were incorporated into the branch freight fleet.

The Mindel Chamber of Commerce bought the extra Kirk type for 300 pounds, which allowed Lorraine to get another 2,200 pounds of goods.

The Battle Fleet also fought two games with the Joint Fleet, because neither of them was a sudden encounter, and both sides did not create too obvious sparks.

There was no big loss for each other. The biggest loss was that the Lucky Grass was broken in a battle and had to be sent back to Southampton dock for repair, temporarily leaving the sequence of the breaking fleet.

Yero and Odilan did not relax their publicity for their own benefits for a moment, especially after the bankruptcy of the Chalun Chamber of Commerce, the prosperity of the three chambers of commerce alliances was in stark contrast to the heavy losses of other offshore chambers of commerce.

The performance of the Navy finally disappointed the merchants.

They began to spontaneously set up a fleet of debunks like the Three Chambers of Commerce Alliance, but the effect was not good.

Not every admiral has received the naval education like Lorraine, familiar with and good at fleet-scale naval warfare; not everyone is willing to entrust their wealth and life to outsiders like Yero and Odilan, and have to share risks.

After a broken defeat, the Lufthansa Chamber of Commerce, which was also a member of the guild, declared bankruptcy. It was flourishing for less than two weeks. The fleets of broken traffic that sprung up like mushrooms after a rain announced their disbandment, becoming an absolute joke.

The smart chamber of commerce proposed to join the three chambers of commerce alliance, but the three chambers of commerce were unwilling to share their original alliance with the newcomers, and the newcomers were unwilling to give up their dominance over their ships. Carmen received the three chambers of commerce, but the final result was all gone in vain.

Lorraine knew that the time to establish a broader alliance was not yet mature...

The fleet of sharks parades the connection between Cantabrian and the Atlantic Ocean like a cunning shark, grinding its minions and ready to hang the pirate flag at any time to start the third robbery.

Who knew...On November 26, the waters outside Lei Island.

"Direction at three o'clock! Sixteen kilometers away, a battle!" Henna on the lookout shouted in surprise, "Lorraine, the main force of the joint fleet surrounded the fleet of the Roy Chamber of Commerce. The Reindeer suppressed the Karak-type Mamuluk, and the Roy Chamber of Commerce was in crisis!"
