Under Joseph's flickering, Vibitsky took out all the money in his authority. Vibitsky also complained that Toulon was so remote that he couldn't find a Jew who could lend money to usury. (Actually, Toulon originally existed, but it was killed by Cudou and harvested by Fuche again, and it has not grown for the time being.) ）

Joseph also told Wibitsky that he also had training in guerrilla warfare, and that if the Poles were willing to pay for it, they could also provide services such as military technical training. Vybitsky was also very interested in this. The two signed the contract, and Vybitsky paid half of the deposit, agreed on the approximate time and place of delivery, and left the way to contact him, and then took his leave and left.

Joseph arranged the production and had Napoleon come in.

When Napoleon came, Joseph told Napoleon about it in detail, and Napoleon said:

"It's not hard to get things to Denmark, although your black pearls have been a bit bumpy at sea, but our guys have also made a few trips to Norway (to buy caustic). There is a lot of wind and waves in the North Sea, but it's not impossible to run. It's just that you said that military training is provided to others, do we have this project? ”

"No, no." Joseph said, "But Napoleon, when you see that the opportunity to make money is there, and if you don't earn it back, don't you think it's a waste of opportunity?" Besides, we really need money now, don't we? ”

"So you mean, we're going to put together such a team now?" Napoleon said, "But time is not always in time." The Poles, I'm not very optimistic about them, even if you pour so much stuff into their heads, but I don't think they can do these things at all. What you say sounds simple, but we all know how high it takes to be organized. Just rely on these Poles? I'm not optimistic about them. They are no match for Suvonov. ”

Speaking of this, Napoleon also shook his head.

"I also know that maybe in a few months, at most next year, they will collapse militarily." "But if guerrilla warfare can be carried out, even if it is not successful, it will be able to hold back our enemies and create more wealth for us." As for the question of training personnel......"

Joseph thought for a moment and said, "After the Red Army was restored, you still have contact with those people in the Red Army, right?" ”

"Yes, they're all our old subordinates. How can there be no connection? Napoleon replied.

"They must not be having a good time now. And Kano simply does not have the funds in his hands for them to sharpen the army through actual combat exercises. Throwing them into battle, Kano was reluctant; It comes in handy for normal use, and he can't afford to use it. Therefore, we can completely propose to him that we pay for the return of some Red Army fighters to do this. You see, in this way, the problem is solved, isn't it? ”

"Well, Joseph, that's a good idea!" Napoleon's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.

In accordance with the signed contract, a little more than a month later, Vibitsky returned to the "Bonaparte Institute". He will follow the smuggling ship, escort the goods, and go to sea together to Denmark.

This was the first major foreign client of the "Bonaparte Institute", so both Joseph and Bonaparte took this operation very seriously. For this they arranged smuggling ships in the best condition and the best sailors.

"Mr. Wibitsky, this is our best captain – Captain Van der Decon. He was Dutch and did not speak much French, speaking only Low Earth and English. But he was our best captain, and the Dutch were always the best in the world when it came to sailing. Joseph introduced the captain of the Flying Ship that had been arranged for them.

"Hello, Captain Daken." Vibitsky spoke in English to the Dutch-looking Dutchman. He noticed that the captain had only one eye.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. On behalf of all sailors, I welcome you to join us. The one-eyed captain tried to greet his passengers with a kind smile, and he laughed as the sun shone into his open mouth, his big gold teeth shining.

Vibitsky knew that many of France's smuggling ships were actually pirate ships in the past. The people on board, from the captain to the sailors, were also vicious pirates. Later, the revolutionary government needed to carry out smuggling activities, so they were recruited. Now looking at Captain Dyken's one-eyed and the sailors next to him, none of them looked like good people, and Vybitsky labeled the captain and his sailors "pirates" in his heart.

The cargo had been loaded onto the ship in the presence of Vybitsky, who followed Captain Dyck aboard. This ship is a typical flying shear sailboat, slightly enlarged compared to the original "Black Pearl", but still only five or six hundred tons. The ship was not big, so Captain Dyck took Vibitsky around the full cargo ship without taking ten minutes.

Captain Dyck finally took Vibitsky to his guest room.

"Mr. Vibitsky, this is your room." Captain Dekker opened the door and said to him, "Our boat is small and we have limited space, so it's crowded here. You have to be patient. ”

In order to lower the center of gravity of this ship, almost all the cabins are below deck, so the cabins are extremely dark. With the help of the lantern in the captain's hand, Vibitsky saw that the so-called room was actually as small as a pigeon cage. There is only one bed about a meter wide in the room, and if you sit on the bed, the door will not close.

There are also two red bands on the bed, which are very conspicuous.

"Our boat is going to be very bumpy at sea. Sometimes they even throw people up. So when you sleep, you need to use these two ropes to tie yourself to the bed, which is safer. Captain Dyck explained.

"So, those little melons are going to be fine, right?" Hearing this, Vybitsky immediately thought of those little melons on the ship.

"Ah, those little melons are very tightly trapped, after all, we are also afraid of death." Captain Dekker laughed.

Seeing that Captain Dyck seemed to be in a good mood, Vybitsky asked again: "Why didn't I see the cannon on the ship?" ”

In this era, almost all ocean-going ships were equipped with a certain number of cannons. Because this era is still an era of rampant pirates. Although there is law and order on the land, the vast sea is still a dark forest. Those who infested the waterways were even officially supported pirates (the British, the Spaniards, in order to fight the French, allowed civilian ships to attack and capture ships flying the French flag. Of course, the French did the same, allowing any civilian ship to attack and capture any ship flying the flag of a country that was at war with France, such as England. Not to mention, it is also very common for ordinary merchant ships to make a cameo appearance as a pirate after encountering a ship that is significantly weaker than their own.

Therefore, any cargo ship that sails far away must carry a few cannons to protect itself.

"Our ships don't need cannons. Of course, there is no way to fit a cannon. After we've set sail in a moment, you'll understand. Captain replied.

"Can I go and see how the boat is going in a moment?" Vibitsky asked.

"Yes, you can come with me now. Also, Can you swim? Captain asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"That's fine. If you know how to swim, you'll be able to go on deck. But if you are out of the Strait of Gibraltar, in general, don't just go on deck. Captain said.

"Then come with me."

……

In the afternoon of the same day, the "Flying" left the dock and sailed into the sea. After sailing for less than an hour, the lookout post issued a warning: "Spanish warship spotted!" Discover the Spanish warship! ”

Vebitsky immediately became nervous, he looked around, but saw nothing. Looking at the sailors on the ship again, I found that they were all not nervous, and they were still doing what they were supposed to do, and they didn't seem to be affected at all.

"What a bunch of bandits!" Vebitsky mentally labeled the sailors again, then turned his head and asked Captain Decker, who was pouring brandy into his mouth: "Captain, where are the enemy warships, are you okay?" ”

"Well, over there......" Captain gestured with his hand in the direction of starboard without healing. Seeing that Vibitsky had his neck stretched and his eyes wide, he handed him another brass telescope, "Over there, at two o'clock." ”

Vibitsky took the binoculars, leaned against the fence next to the steering wheel, and continued to look that way, and sure enough, he saw several white sails.

"Judging by the mast, it's the Spanish corvette." Captain Dyck, knowing that Vibitsky was not familiar with things at sea, explained, "Cruisers are relatively small ships, with about forty cannons, but they are relatively fast. But don't worry, this thing is no threat to us. ”

At this time, the three masts of the Spanish cruiser were completely exposed to the sea level, and immediately afterwards, the mighty hull was also revealed...... However, after a while, even Vybitsky could see that the Spanish cruiser was not approaching this way at all, but continued to follow its original course, as if they had not seen the "Flying".

'How is this possible?' The Flying Ship was not a big ship, but its mast was very high, and the sails were so spectacular that it was impossible for them to go without it. Vibitsky couldn't help but ask.

"They've chased us before, and they know they can't, so they don't want to waste their efforts." Captain Dyck said, "We are at least four or five knots faster than them, and even if they break the mast, they will not be able to keep up with us." They chase us like a turtle trying to catch up with a rabbit, no, it's like a turtle trying to catch up with a seagull flying in the sky, it's completely in vain. ”

As Captain Dyck had said, the Spaniards had no intention of chasing after them, and none of the gun windows on their decks were opened. Vibitsky even saw through his binoculars that there were sailors waving to the Spanish ship.

"Now you know why we don't have cannons, right?" Captain Dyck said to Vybitsky proudly. At the same time, he took off his hat decorated with feathers and waved it at the Spaniards.

"Got it, got it." Vebitsky nodded, "It's a good ship, it's a miracle ship." ”

"Ah, is it? Hopefully, after Gibraltar, you'll still think so. Captain Dyck put his hat back on his head and said.

……

It was late at night when the Flying Ship crossed the Strait of Gibraltar. It is the gateway of the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. It is also one of the most important military bases of the British Royal Navy. Unlike the Spaniards, the British who are like mad dogs will chase you like mad dogs many times when they know that they can't catch up with you. At first, Captain Decker was fond of deliberately running around with the Brits, but now he felt that such an untechnical game of dog teasing was no longer interesting, and he even wondered if the British were training sailors by chasing them. So now he prefers to break through at night. The provincial sparring partners for the British.

As soon as the Flying left Gibraltar, Vibitsky immediately understood the meaning of what Captain Dekker had said to him.

At that time, Vibitz was almost asleep in his little bed, and the slight shaking of the ship even made him feel comfortable, and in the dream, he returned to his childhood, to his mother's arms, who held him and shook gently......

Then, the mother in the dream, who turned into a bearded father, threw little Wibitsky high into the sky, caught him gently, then threw him up again, and then ...... This time he didn't catch it, and with a snap, he woke up Vibitsky.

It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything, he could only feel that the ship was suddenly pushed into the air, and then fell down again, back and forth, left and right, constantly shaking violently, and Vybitsky only felt dizzy, he couldn't help but open his mouth, and spit out with a wow......

The next morning, Vibitsky, who had vomited all over his body, saw Captain again. This time, however, he was lying in his own bed, with Captain Dyck standing beside him with the ship's doctor.

"Hey, Mr. Vibitsky, what's the matter, seasickness?" Captain laughed, "This ship is like that, in order to run fast, you have to accept such shortcomings. ”

"I thought I would ...... Vomit...... ...... vomit" Before he could finish his sentence, Vybitsky retched again.

"We have a potion on board specifically for seasickness, and you can drink a little ......," said Captain Decker.

After being dizzy for several days, Vibitsky was barely better. He could even barely get up and go to the captain's quarters, where he saw a wave coming and the water rushing down the deck.

"Don't worry, this ship is fine." Captain Dyck said, "It's normal. ”

"Ah, I understand why this ship can't be loaded with cannons......" said Vibitsky.
