0050 Rescue at sea

Acharin is a scumbag.

There is no doubt about the answer to this answer, whether according to the Oriental view of commoner love accepted by Lorraine in his previous life, or the English gentleman's view of love accepted in this life.

But this was not enough to justify Lorraine's refusal to allow him to get on board.

This hormonal animal was a good gunner, a good seaman, and had a deep hatred for Viren, and there was no possibility of returning to the Desai Chamber of Commerce before Veren's death.

In the short term, he will still be loyal.

For Lorraine, such a seafarer was not easy to find.

What's more, he doesn't want money yet.

There is an additional clause in the seafarer's agreement between the parties regarding self-redemption:

During his two-year tenure at the Drake Chamber of Commerce, Gacharin. Desai must redeem his freedom with loyalty, bravery, obedience, and hard work, which lasted until September 30, 1780.

[After the expiration of the additional terms, the Drake Chamber of Commerce has the right to decide on the criteria for renewal or dismissal according to the performance of the Drake Chamber of Commerce during the redemption period. Desay has the right to decide whether or not to be hired]

With these two clauses, Acharin became a top seafarer with no good price.

As for Viren......

Veren is a poor man.

Eight times out of ten, Acharin ruined his life. It was thanks to Acharin that he changed from the original honest and talented young man to the current thug admiral.

But this has nothing to do with Lorraine.

Lorraine is neither a psychiatrist nor an emotional hotline, and is not obligated to explain his life.

All Lorraine had to think about was how to end his life.

There is no answer to this question for the time being.

After three days in bed, Lorraine's injuries were healed by seven points, and the First Fleet was ready to set sail again, thanks to the meticulous care of Henna, Noah, and Carmen, and the unparalleled recovery of the whaler bloodline.

Go to Gijón!

Thanks to the adjustment of the fleet structure and the establishment of the transshipment fleet, the efficiency of the First Fleet's round-trip route to and from Cantabrian has been improved again, and the limit speed of a one-way trip has been accelerated from the original three and a half days to two and a half days, and the round-trip speed is five days.

Lorraine still sets the cycle at seven days. This allows the fleet to enter and exit the port more calmly, and the sailors can rest for a full day in Southampton, fully relieving the fatigue of the journey.

The abundant energy greatly ensured the reaction of the sailors, and the chemistry gradually appeared, and the two delicate flowers of the Drake family became more and more tacit during the voyage, and the curves left behind them became more and more rounded.

It's just that the situation of the Drake Chamber of Commerce is getting better and better, but the situation in Cantabrian is getting worse and worse.

Willen and his Desai Chamber of Commerce's First Fleet were stationed in the port of La Rocelle in France, including one Galen-type destroyer, two Brigentin-type high-speed ships, and two mixed-sail Scuna ships for combat support, with a total of 96 guns.

They slashed at the center of the course, like a hungry shark for a long time, striking in all directions across the vast sea, floating shipwrecks and the corpses of British sailors in their passes.

The British Chamber of Commerce, which had suffered heavy losses, quickly launched bloody revenge on the French merchant ships.

The small and medium-sized chambers of commerce fled from the wind, Cantabs were full of smoke, and with one round of sailing a week, Lorraine could clearly feel the depression of the entire route.

It is no longer possible to see black-marketeers at sea who do not fly the merchant flag, and even the wide-bottomed cargo ships flying the British and French flags are becoming more and more rare.

Instead, there are boxes and barrels floating along the waves, planks, masts, floating corpses, fireworks, and schools of fish that can occasionally be seen tumbling in the waters.

Lorraine issued a ban on fishing, and long before he gave the order, the sailors of the fleet had stopped fishing, and even the white ears ate fresh fish from the ice cellar instead.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, the Drake Chamber of Commerce is always in danger.

The fleet encountered several enemy situations. There are many ships on the other side, and Lorraine is fast, and neither side can find a chance to grab the results of the battle.

Except for the three rounds of bombardment with the fleet under the command of the Herrera Chamber of Commerce off the coast of Gijón a dozen days ago, Lorraine even had only a handful of opportunities to open fire.

After four rounds of shipping, in October, the Mindel Chamber of Commerce obtained the admission permit for Lorraine's offshore guild, and only waited for Lorraine to return, and they were going to hold a special welcome reception at Cambridge Business School.

This means that the Chamber of Commerce has reached a new level.

Lorraine leaned against the railing and thought about the next direction of development, when she suddenly saw a person floating on the sea not far away......

"Collect the sails! Dismount! Lookout warning! He didn't think about it, and immediately ordered.

The flotilla stopped in the middle of the vast sea, and Pierce sprang up to the lookout to take the place of the sailors, and Clen led six men into the sea in small boats, rocking their oars and rowing hard to the figure on the water.

No one questioned Lorraine's arrangement.

Rescue at sea is humanitarian, has nothing to do with the environment, has nothing to do with remuneration, and has nothing to do with the identity of the rescued and rescued.

Everyone wants to be rescued when they are in trouble, so every sailor and every ship takes it as an obligation, even pirates.

Raven of the Mindel Chamber of Commerce had been rescued by pirates that year, and it was the Dutch pirates who had never dealt with British merchants who had saved him.

Karen's skiff paddled quickly into the distance, tossing and turning for a long time, salvaging only one box.

They returned empty-handed, and came to Lorraine with their suitcases.

"Captain, we're late. I sorted out his remains with my own hands......"

"Go and rest." Lorraine regretfully took the box, "Inform Ramos, get off the sail for half an hour, and don't let the waves disturb the deceased." ”

"Yes."

There was nothing special in the chest, a total of £17 and 10 shillings in cash, an account book, a sea compass of the great road class, a few charts of all kinds, and a captain's diary.

The diary was written by Jimmy. Karen, a Welsh merchant sailing from Cardiff Harbour, owned a 10-metre-long non-standard brig Cage schooner named the Cornucopia.

The effect of that cornucopia is mediocre. Judging from the books, his annual revenue is about £800, and the profit is likely to be less than £60.

This is also the normal life of most small merchants, who are richer than the middle class, far less comfortable than the middle class, like this Captain Jimmy, who eventually died at sea.

Lorraine wrote down an address and a lady's name according to the vague information in her diary, and prepared to hand it over to the transshipment fleet along with the box, asking old Merlin to mourn on his behalf.

While considering whether to enclose a letter of condolence to comfort the lady as she began a new life, little Pierce suddenly called out from the lookout.

"Brother! At six o'clock, two French Kirk-types, at a distance of 20 kilometers and at a speed of 3 knots, are approaching away! ”

"Kirk?" Lorraine decided not to write a letter of condolence, packed up the contents of the box, looked up and asked Noah, "How long has there been silence?" ”

"26 minutes." Noah squeezed her round chin with white ears, absent-minded.

This is a skill reserved for witches, who can do so without the use of any tools in order to accurately time the candle goes out during a ritual than a pocket watch.

Lorraine was pleased with the time.

"Pierce, keep an eye on your prey! Yacharin, prepare the artillery! Karen prepares the pirate flag, Aina takes the helm, waiting for orders! ”

He took a breath and snatched the white ear with a smile: "Noah, now you are the acting admiral." As soon as the 30 minutes arrived, he directed us to go hunting. ”

"Hmm!" Noah smiled and nodded heavily.
