Chapter 397

    Pirate war


    Back then, when the golden deer without a mast first came into contact with her professional peers, Lorraine never thought that his confrontation with pirates would one day really conform to the real connotation of the bloody word "war".


    He started the pirate war.


    However, the original intention at the beginning is only to better plunder, and the willingness to continue the war only comes from the unspeakable practical demand for money laundering.


    Smuggling has changed many things.


    Two years of arms smuggling has brought more than considerable benefits to Lorraine. Drake made a profit of 2.08 million pounds, of which Lorraine dominated 63% of his own and 10% of Pierce, exceeding 1.5 million pounds.


    In the 18th century, this figure was comparable to the total assets of a small European country. In the new world, it represented almost endless money


    How to change them from "glittering gold" to "rich money" in the shortest time?


    Lorraine thought for a long time and finally returned to his original intention, [pirate war].


    "Pirates are rich enough to flow oil" is a false proposition that has been circulating for hundreds of years. Once the war starts, no one can figure out how much Lorraine got from the pirates.


    This is full of predictable benefits.


    There is no audit, no supervision, no need to pay taxes, clarify business channels, and the most important thing is that the law provides legal protection for Lorraine''s income.


    Like all trade income, as long as you wear the cloak of Shanghai theft war, Lorraine''s assets will become sacred and inviolable, and no one or any force can question its growth rate.


    Cotton Jack became the target of Lorraine''s experiment by chance.


    In January 1780, Lorraine visited Turtle Island;


    In the same month, as a candidate for the pirate king, the new pirate Lorraine declared war on the pirate king jack;


    At the end of January, Bimini Island fell and cotton Jack disappeared.


    This experimental war is perfect in any solution.


    The war process is not fierce, the cost is minimal, and the income is very considerable. The public capture of 16 ships makes the interesting proposition of "pirates are rich in oil" once again become the favorite topic of Jamaican gentlemen after dinner.


    Lorraine''s experiment was also successful.


    It didn''t take much effort. All the smuggling proceeds before 1780 were added to the seizure list of cotton Jack''s nest. Without causing any review and doubt, Lorin was traded for Luxi and St. Dana, two important chamber of Commerce bases.


    The result made Luolin very excited. The ancients were sincere and didn''t deceive me. War is indeed the most profitable business in the world.


    Lorraine was out of control.


    In March, he took part in the sea sweeping operation as a mercenary, during which he had a bad relationship with the pirate king Blackbeard;


    In May, Blackbeard declared war on Lorraine on Turtle Island;


    In June, Lorraine returned to turtle island with three keepsakes of fly Thomas. Confirmed by the maritime brotherhood, Lorraine was officially honored as the pirate king and the king''s title [pirate hunter].


    This is an ironic title.


    The maritime Brotherhood was obviously dissatisfied with Lorraine''s hostility to pirates, but the Pirate Code restrained their hands and feet, making it impossible for them to exert their great influence in the pirate world.


    Lorraine meticulously carried out the recruitment process of the pirate king. These old pirates who landed can only spit like toothless old sharks.


    Saliva can''t do any damage to Lorraine.


    His goal has been achieved. The title means that the pirate world will hopelessly show its essence in front of him and Drake''s chamber of Commerce. No great leader can completely gather these outlaws into the opposite of Lorraine.


    The reason is simple, because there is no justice in the internal war.


    The new pirate king war officially started in the Caribbean. The first confrontation was between hunter Lorraine and cotton jack, and Hunter Lorraine and Blackbeard Edward.


    Lorraine was basically on the strategic defensive at this stage. He lacked accurate information about Blackbeard''s main force, and the hard hit cotton Jack was as difficult as a ghost.


    However, cotton cloth and Blackbeard did not cooperate and form an alliance because of Lorin, the common enemy, and Blackbeard, who can really be called a threat, did not make progress with Lorin.


    Therefore, the pressure on Lorraine is not great. At that time, the Caribbean branch and the European Northwest branch have enough ability to maintain their own operation. Lorraine only needs to organize a simple direct fleet to loiter and attack according to practical intelligence.


    It was a rare time of peace in the Caribbean in recent years.


    Although three of the six pirate kings were involved in the war, the scale of the war has been well controlled.


    Lorraine methodically transformed the smuggled stolen money. Drake chamber of Commerce jumped into a million club in a short time, and has become a world-renowned business star since then.


    The situation began to change to complex from the end of 1781.


    It was still the Chesapeake Bay naval battle and the victory of York town. The smoke of the war of independence dissipated and North American trade prospered again. Although the trade barriers between Britain and the United States have not been fully opened, the channel of the Caribbean Sea has become congested at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    Pirates have ushered in huge business opportunities.


    At that time, Drake maritime group completed the merger and acquisition of Haite shipyard; Walkiri launched from the dry dock and began the experimental trial voyage and loaded relevant special parts; The lady received the first batch of molded parts after the project, and the huge keel began to be officially assembled in Haite No. 1 dock


    The realization of huge funds gradually opened the strength gap between Lorraine and his two rivals.


    After losing three warships in a row, cotton Jack disappeared into people''s view for the second time. Lorraine seized the opportunity to set up a battlefield between the big and small Inagua islands, and nearly sent Blackbeard and his Queen Anne revenge to the ship city of Norton.


    As a result, a pirate ship named Royal happiness rescued Blackbeard from his death.


    Royal happiness is a famous pirate ship with a long history and glorious past. The first generation ship was built by the Portuguese in 1718. It was a famous high-speed merchant ship at that time.


    The black Baron bafromiu ransacked the port of trebras in June 1719 and took her from the port.


    Since then, the Royal happiness has become the flagship of the pirate king black baron. It has been inherited from generation to generation together with her master and has become a symbol of supreme power in the Caribbean.


    Black Baron pavlomus IV made a brilliant debut in the battle of the Inagua islands and stood opposite Lorraine as soon as he appeared.


    In Lorraine''s view, the title of pavlomus seems to have its own aura of intelligence.


    The first generation of black barons almost unified the Caribbean and became the second pirate emperor after Morgan. The subsequent II and III were also famous for their wisdom. They have always been one of the most dominant upper predators in the pirate king system.


    The fourth generation did not discredit his name. He has a huge pirate regiment composed of 28 armed ships, and his overall strength ranked first in the Caribbean before Lorraine grew.


    And although he is wanted in all powerful countries, he has never been encircled and suppressed by the naval forces of any country since the year he took office as the pirate king.


    He completely changed the pleasant situation of the pirate war.


    After the battle of the Inagua islands, that is, in December 1781, the black Baron officially declared war on Lorraine on Turtle Island.


    He made a passionate declaration of war, in which he gave Lorraine a new and more dominant Title: [Titan].


    Titan is the name of divine giant in Nordic and Greek mythology.


    As the descendants of Gaia, the Mother God of the earth, they have endless recovery ability when they step on the earth. They are immortal and unmatched.


    The black Baron used this feature to refer to the identity of Lorraine merchant, claiming that "it is trade that makes Drake invincible. To kill him, only trade can be killed first".


    This declaration aroused the greed of the pirate world. Pavlomus skillfully linked Lorraine''s identity with the pirate war, and gave the pirates a strange martyr like holy coat for their daily looting.


    Pavlomus asked the pirate, did you rob?


    As long as you rob, you are Lorraine''s enemy; As long as you rob, you are a believer in the Pirate Code.


    This war is not the internal war between several strong men advocated by Lorraine at all. It is a holy war of pirates. It is a bloody battle between shepherds and sheep about who will become the master. It will never die!


    When the Jihad started, even Lorraine was stunned, and... Inexplicable.
