Baili Liangliu saw Lao Ban Yang's white silk mentioning 1814, and pointed to another piece of white silk, and gave him a big praise in his heart.

Baili Liangliu is a young man, and of course he is familiar with the network of later generations.

He now has a strong feeling that this is Uncle Ban Yang, and he is likely to be a pioneer of online writers.

Look at his technique of hanging people's appetite out of context and leaving suspense, how skillful! How lightweight.

Also, I specially remind readers to look at another white silk and continue to read the following, how noble the professional ethics are.

It's a complete mindset for the sake of the reader.

As soon as he did this, Baili Liangliu couldn't help but be fascinated by that 1814.

Find it!

At this time, if it was a paid reading, Baili Liangliu felt that he would definitely have to pay out of his pocket.

The minimum is not less than one dollar.

Although the title of the old captain Ban Yang's white silk diary is 1814, he mentions many things from 1812 and 1813.

Because at that time, Britain and the United States were fighting, and the two navies fought one after another.

There is not only one battlefield, but the battle at sea in the Bermuda Sea is the main battlefield.

Although the United States and Britain were above the battle, the British side had mainly troops on land from Canada.

At that time, Canada was still a colony, but it belonged to Britain and France.

In the beginning, Britain opened stations on both sides, in North America, against the United States, and in Europe, with France.

Not only did they fight at both ends, but they also put the main battlefield in Europe, and even invested a small part of their forces to deal with the United States.

However, its British colonies in Canada can go all out, albeit mostly infantry.

What is more interesting is that the battle at sea was between the US Navy and the British Navy, and the land battle was between the US Army and the Canadian Army.

In the case of these two armies, they are not regular armies, but militias.

The militia of the American army was the main force of the Revolutionary War, and the commander-in-chief of Washington, at that time, led those militias to expel the regular army of British colonialism.

Canada is a close neighbor of the United States in North America, and it is probably the same way, and it is also building a militia to fight against the militia of the US military.

That's really militia versus militia, see who's more heroic.

As a result, the long war, numerous battles proved that both militias were strong!

If you want to distinguish between high and low, then the big militia is even better!

That's really the little brother beating the big brother.

How to reach this conclusion?

Or judging by the results of the war.

To look at the outcome of the war, we must start with the purpose of the war.

Only when the goal is achieved can it be considered a good result, and if the goal is not achieved, even if the victory in the battle on the battlefield is not a good result.

Canada, because of its colonial status, must have been driven by the British colonialists, and had no intention of independence.

But there is one point, Canada is the homeland of those militias, whether they are colonies or not, they cannot be changed, so the basic purpose of those militias is to defend their homeland and the country, and not to fall into the territory and population of the United States.

And what about the United States?

From the outset, its purpose was clear: to take the British and French colonies in Canada into two states under its own federal system.

For the United States, this is a continuation of the Revolutionary War, and to be honest, Britain has always been eyeing the United States in its colonies in Canaan, and has never stopped thinking and acting about a comeback.

When America is thriving, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

So whenever possible, they would occupy the British and French colonies in Canada.

Those decision-makers in the United States mainly focused their attention on the British colonialist native army, thinking that once the American army entered, those Canadians would definitely eat pot pulp to welcome the king, welcome them as liberators, and fully cooperate with their liberation actions to drive out the old British colony.

It's a pity that Lao Mei is amorous.

Not only did they not eat pot pulp, but there were also shotguns everywhere, and the militia fought the militia against the militia, and the US troops were at a loss.

Not only that, but the United States has its own people in trouble.

Many of the natives, especially the Indians in the southern states, acted as part of the Anglo-Canadian forces, inflicting heavy losses on the U.S. military.

This war, although the United States calls it the Second War of Independence, was in nature an American invasion of Canada.

Of course, after the war began, the Anglo-Canadian forces had no restrictions on the border and invaded the United States.

At the same time, if the American army is finally defeated, the British army will not hesitate to rule the United States as a colony again.

So judging from the final result, Britain and the United States are empty-handed.

The U.S. plan to bring Canada's British and French colonies into U.S. territory has completely failed, and even eliminated the possibility of the future.

Britain's dream of restoring the United States to its former colonial status was also completely shattered, and it could no longer afford to dream again.

The only one that stands to gain from this fight is Canada.

The colonies defended their dignity by confronting the invaders, the United States, and forced Britain and France to make concessions to them, which eventually allowed Canada to become independent.

In a certain sense, the goal of the United States has been achieved, but it has not become part of their territory, but has become independent and become another sovereign state in North America.

It was impossible for the old captain Ban Yang to have access to first-hand information, because he couldn't go out, just listened to the talk of those pirates, so he had some general understanding of the situation outside, and at the same time he also knew about the attitude of these pirates towards this war.

To put it simply, they are on the side of the US military.

Although the ships they plundered were American, they were hostile to the British, presumably for historical reasons.

In this special period of war between the two countries, it is impossible for them to snatch American ships as before, so as to objectively help the British, whom they hate.

However, if they were to deal directly with the British, they would not be able to do it.

At that time, Britain was the world's largest navy, especially when it was fighting the US military, it dispatched hundreds of warships at every turn, and even blocked the entire US coastline for a long time.

This overwhelming superiority in naval battles remained unchanged until the end of this war, and when the American warships saw the British fleet, they had no way to engage in a hard battle, and the only thing they could do was to turn around and flee.

At that time, to be able to escape is to be victorious.

The incident specifically mentioned by the old captain Ban Yang involved a battleship of the US army, the USS Wasp.

This battleship has always been on the front line of the battle against the British Navy, and in the case of overall disadvantage, it has won many victories, destroying many British lone ships, so it is hated by the British army.

Relying on the large number of ships and artillery, they sent a formation of ten warships to round up the Wasp.

It was the season of spring and summer, and everyone could tell by hearing that there was fighting outside.

Because the pirates have not been dispatched for a long time, everyone will just listen to it, and the recent naval battles in this sea area have basically cut off the normal progress of sea transportation.

It is probably because Kaiwei the Great has a special observation channel, and he can know the situation of the warring sides outside.

You can see his concern and anxiety.

Suddenly, he left with some people.

It didn't take long for the place where the Insurgents had been seen coming in suddenly opened, and a warship rushed in.

The reason why I know it's a warship is because the guns on it, though in tatters, are still firmly controlled by the soldiers.

Even more obvious was the tall mast, with a Star-Spangled Banner hanging from it.

It was a veritable Stars and Stripes, as it was torn to the point that only a few strips of cloth remained, dotted with a few stars.

The process was the same as before, flying past the tip of my nose and landing in the clearing on the side of the Insurgent.

I still don't know what the secret of this orderly operation is.

Kaiwei the Great walked alone.

There was not much effort, and two people came out of it.

One is the captain of the ship, as can be seen from the clothes, although the main force of the army is still the militia, the navy is already quite regular.

He came out and immediately asked Kaiwei the Great: "Who is Your Excellency, and why did you kidnap me and wait here?"

Presumably out of respect for him, Kaiwei the Great saluted and replied, "I am Kaiwei the Great, the commander-in-chief of the local pirates! I am not kidnapping you, but saving you, otherwise you will be surrounded by the British, and within a minute you will be sunk by their concentrated artillery fire, and your bones will be gone." ”

"Pirates, I know, you are the creators of the notorious and terrifying Devil's Triangle shipwreck in Bermuda! Do you want to poison us today? I tell you, I, Anderson, would rather die and fight to the last breath than be at your mercy!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Anderson, I deeply admire your bravery! However, I am also a big husband, I don't change my name or surname, there is no need to lie to you, my purpose is to save you and your subordinates, otherwise you will be killed immediately! Also, I know the things on your ship, those things are also what I need, since you have fallen into a desperate situation, those things you can't keep anyway, rather than cheap those treacherous British, it is better to belong to me, and it can be regarded as a little response to my life-saving grace, that's it, I hope you can understand, at the same time, in order to show my respect for you, I also open my side, not as prisoners, but as guests, and I also hope that you and your subordinates, recognize the situation, cooperate with us, we are all pirates, may not have a good temper, when offended, please understand。 ”

Before Anderson could reply, another person who came out spoke.

"Believe in the Creator and have eternal life, but the unbeliever is condemned, and the wages for sin is death, and after that there is judgment!"

Kaiwei's face changed, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

The man took a step forward: "I am a military pastor, and my name is Gideon, and I must preach the word, whether it is time or not." ”

Kaiwei's face changed again: "Are you here to preach?

Gideon said calmly, "I have come there as a dispatch from the Creator, and my duty is only to preach His truth, and nothing else." ”

Kaiwei showed signs of an outburst and roared in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Undeterred, Gideon took a step further: "Where righteousness lies, death will not prevent me from preaching, but the Creator's protection will be with me more than I will be harmed." ”

Kaiwei sneered: "Confidence is quite enough!"

He glanced at Gideon again, and suddenly turned to Anderson: "He's your subordinate, what do you think?"

Anderson said: "He is not my subordinate, on the contrary, in the truth, I will be taught by him! He is in charge of the faith, and I am subordinate to his guidance, and he is always on the warship, and he is free to move, and of course he will not hinder my military command; now that there is no military action, naturally I cannot restrain him, military pastor, and I understand the relationship between you and me in this way, right?"

Gideon glanced at him: "At this time, our faith will be tested, and I must say that you are a humble man, who will be blessed and preserved by the Creator, and as for your relationship with me, we are brothers and co-workers, exhorting and encouraging each other, and making disciples of the Lord together." ”

Emperor Kaiwei, who was listening to the conversation between the two people, suddenly laughed and said: "I have also heard of the preacher, but I have seen a living one, and today is the first time, and I think that those that my ancestors met back then did not have such humility as you! Gideon, let me ask you a question, do you know or have heard of 'Ragnarok'?"

"The twilight of the gods? I seem to have some impressions, but I think there is something wrong with it! First of all, there will be gods, and there is only one true god; this is the most important thing, so the gods are not gods; second, the twilight of the gods, who said that they are going to die? If the gods can die, they are not gods at all, because gods are eternal beings, and by virtue of these two points, I can tell you clearly that the words are nonsense, don't listen to them; as a military pastor, what I tell you must be the truth, and you can not listen to it, but I can't help but say it. ”

Anderson had nothing to do there, and he could clearly see that Kaiwei the Great's face fluctuated with anger at first, and then turned into a full tangled, and it was clear that Gideon's answer was very different from what he was expecting.

Emperor Kaiwei was silent for a moment, and then said, "This is completely different from what I have heard! ”

Gideon reminded: "It is completely different, and that is true, truth and falsehood have always been strongly opposed." ”

Emperor Kaiwei said: "Thank you for reminding me, since you are a professional preacher, it is obvious that you will be angry if you are not allowed to preach, and the life that is already restricted here is even more unpleasant, so I allow you to do your own thing, but do not oppose me, do not violate the system I have established, in fact, there are few things, and it is easy to follow; ”

I was watching the excitement when suddenly Emperor Kaiwei called me, and I hurried over to say hello to Gideon.

Then I told him something, and he changed my life.
