322. Will be counted and then counted

So, I was ready to interrogate Reykjavik myself.

Before that, I had a detailed conversation with Adicon and Mavi, this Reykjavik is very cunning, at first it was just all kinds of gossip around in circles, and after inadvertently revealing his horse's feet, under the fierce pursuit of the two, he really had no choice but to reveal the truth!

I couldn't help but rejoice and tapped them on the shoulder before leading them into the room where Reykjavik was being held.

The Spaniard's spokesman for the New World was in his fifties, with a brown Mediterranean hairstyle, a scruffy beard, bloodshot eyes, and sat on the ground with a dejected face.

I sat in the chair across from me, silently staring at Reykjavík. He also raised his eyes to look at me, and only after a long time did he speak: "Your Excellency is the young captain from the East!"

I smiled faintly and said, "Is what you said true?" You should know where you stand at this time! ”

Reykjavik nodded and muttered, "That's nature, that's nature!" I get it! I ......"

He looked at me with red eyes and continued: "I have betrayed the motherland, my career is over, I only hope to ask for a good death, naturally there is something to say."

I snorted coldly and said, "When death is imminent, you still want to deceive people!"

Reykjavik looked at me blankly and said, "What do you mean by that?"

I squinted at him and said, "You dare to say that you didn't lie?" With such a large-scale troop transfer, why didn't Alfred, as the captain of the ship, know about it? ”

Reykjavik was stunned for a moment, then said, "Alfred? The son of the commander-in-chief's sworn enemy? We don't know what he was here for, so how could we have him involved in such a plan? ”

He laughed twice, stood up and saluted me, "Your Excellency, I am willing to exchange half of my property for freedom, and I think the two gentlemen have already conveyed my request to you, right?"

After saying that, he stared at me quietly, not too nervous, not too excited, as if talking about the ownership of a work of art, relaxed and casual.

I also looked back at him, and after a while, Fang smiled and said, "I can agree to your request, but it must be after I confirm the authenticity of the information you provided!"

Reykjavik was stunned for a moment, then saluted again: "Of course, as you wish, Your Excellency!" I guess I should be able to get basic coverage during this time, right? ”

I glanced at him, turned back to the Nine Ghosts, and said, "Give Mr. Reykjavik the best supplication, and the cost will be increased from his ransom money."

The Nine Ghosts immediately surrendered their hands, and Reykjavik saluted for the third time: "Thank you for your wisdom and kindness!" You're going to get the price you're happy with, Your Excellency! ”

……

After the business was over, I didn't feel any lighter. Although luck is also part of strength, relying on such fluke key information is always unsettling! Very unsettling!

Moreover, I have one more concern - the Spaniards must have known the news of the capture of Reykjavik, will they still act as planned?

If, I mean, the other side knew that we knew that they were going to attack our stronghold, so they chose to do what they wanted, pretending to attack our stronghold, drawing out our main fleet, and then encircling and annihilating it, would such a plot really not happen?

But how do you do it all? To defend Virginia, it is necessary to leave forces behind, so that there will be a head-on clash with the Spaniards.

But if we don't defend it, then Virginia will be out of our control and in the possession of the Spaniards.

How can you defend Virginia without losing it, but also avoid falling into the opponent's schemes and avoiding major losses?

I sat in my room with my chin propped up and thought about it all afternoon. In the end, I had a headache when I thought about it, but I still didn't have a suitable solution.

I really couldn't think of it, so I could only leave the house in a huff and want to go for a walk on the beach to breathe.

The evening sunset was beautiful, and I wandered by the sea, walking aimlessly. Occasionally picking up a small stone, remembering the experience of playing on the beach when I was a child, I smiled slightly, bent down, hunched my legs, and threw the small stone diagonally to the water not far away.

The flat stone is like a dragonfly, sticking to the water surface "pop", "pop", "pop", "pop" and "pop" out of the distance! Every time it made contact with the water, it bounced back into the air until all the kinetic energy I gave it was exhausted, and it sank completely into the water.

Not far from where the stones sink into the water there is a pelican, an adult pelican with a body length of about 1.6 to 1.7 meters. The outstretched wings are more than two meters wide. Its wings are so powerful that it can easily soar through the air!

It flew close to the surface of the water, and seemed to be hunting, but three successive blows were to no avail, and the air filled its mouth and throat with seawater.

I was so fascinated by it that I forgot what I was here for, and just stared at the huge bird to hunt.

After three failures, the pelican seemed to have an epiphany, chirped, and turned its head to give up the school of fish in front of him. However, as it flew to the shore, it seemed to suddenly spot another school of fish, and immediately pounced, plunging its huge mouth and head into the water again!

It worked! As the pelican flapped its wings and pulled its head out of the water, I saw the tail of the fish struggling from its mouth!

Because the pelican's large mouth and throat pouch are filled with seawater, it is difficult to move to the surface. Its tail is cocked, and it is the first to emerge from the water, and then its body and large mouth.

Because the water is heavy, it can only fly forward against the surface of the water. When the fish in its mouth struggled less, it tried to spit out the seawater, traveled lightly, took off from the water again, and flew high into the sky!

Seeing this miraculous scene of nature, I shivered like an electric shock! This! Isn't that what I want?

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows. Everyone wants to be the yellow finch, but often it becomes the praying mantis, and even the role of the cicada is unknown.

I don't want to be a cicada, and I don't want to be a praying mantis, but how can I be a yellow finch? If you want me to say, the best thing to do is not to try to climb higher, but to jump out of the cycle and not shoehorn yourself into a role!

After thinking about it, I decided to do it again! Use a detached way to free yourself and do more!

When I think about it, I feel so happy! Resisting the urge to shout, I stood on the shore and thought about some details, and finally decided that this solution was completely feasible!

I almost jumped back to the Triangle Siege, and without seeing anyone else, I immediately called a few absolute confidants for a small meeting.

At the meeting, my last worries were also dispelled!

The only people who know about the secret plans of the Spaniards are Ma Wei, Adikon, Hua Mei and Kuki Masataka, who I have called to the meeting, and Mo, and the rest of the people do not know anything.

That's fine, but in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, I also asked Mo in charge of the situation to send some people to go deep into various groups to inquire about the situation openly and secretly to ensure that the news really didn't leak!

It turned out as I expected, and it was good!

Secondly, I put forward the idea that when Elizabeth I asked me to come to the New World, the fundamental purpose was to rescue her lover, Mr. Raleigh.

Now that the celebrity and face around the queen are safe, and my mission has been completed, do I still want to continue to be his nanny and take care of him for the rest of my life?

That's impossible! Definitely, definitely, and certainly impossible!

And now that the siege of the Virginia Triangle has been completed, the defense is much stronger than before! Even if I let it go, the tallest building in North America has enough capacity to protect itself!

What's more, even though I saved his life, his ambiguous attitude still made me wary!

He was afraid that I would turn against the guest and rob him of his work in North America, so that all his hard work would be in vain!

So although he tried his best to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, it could be seen from his occasional fierce eyes that he was actually tired of my existence in his heart, and he wished that I was gone!

With a few of them, it seems that I am going to play a trick of the golden cicada coming out of the shell again!

Of course, I can't just throw my hands away, and as a good friend, I should help Mr. Raleigh strengthen his defenses!

I gave him all the Spanish prisoners of war I had captured in this battle, with the exception of Reykjavik and Alfred. Although these prisoners of war did not allow them to face the Spaniards head-on, they were excellent candidates for human coolies.

And the handicraft death squad that I brought from England and engaged in small movements on the way, I also left it to Raleigh, these people are better than the original filthy things under him, and they are fully qualified for the post of overseer!

At the same time, in order to show friendship, I also specially left a batch of "elite weapons" for Raleigh to use!

These muskets were captured from the Spaniards, and there were plenty of them! As for the quality, I'm not JD Express, free shipping or refund?

I still don't think it's perfect enough to do this. So I invited the secluded Chamcham to my room, and I consulted with her behind closed doors for a long time.

When she left, she seemed to be walking happily.

Of course, I didn't forget to leave some grain for Raleigh, and in order to improve their quality of life, I also sent two ships to buy a large amount of grain from the north, and filled the granaries of the Triangle Siege.

Do all this, and it's time for us to leave. That night, with the cool night breeze, our fleet set sail and sailed into the vast Atlantic.

The reason why I went at night, my explanation to Raleigh was that I didn't want to see the tears of separation, Raleigh immediately shed tears, and the acting was very good! So I gave him a big hug before reluctantly parting.

But in reality, I was trying to hide the eyes and ears of the Spaniards so that they did not know where we were. I don't know now, and I don't know about it again - until I show up!

This time I went to sea, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart! The environment makes and changes people. Who would have thought that I, who was a cleaner in my previous life, would become a commander on land and sea in this life?

The night in the Atlantic Ocean is quiet, and we who are quieter are like quieter ghosts, slowly melting into the vast night......
