Chapter 15: Inside and Out of the Trap

Miss Jenny glanced at Lin Haijiang with appreciative eyes, and Lin Haijiang sighed slightly and said, "It seems that we have no other way out!" Only for the time being, I can be a pirate in the Mediterranean! ”

Miller looked at Lin Haijiang dumbfounded, and Lin Haijiang smiled at Jenny and said, "If my judgment is correct, the commander of the Second Fleet of the British Empire, James. General William should have a different political opinion from Duke Markline, right? If our existence is a nuisance to Duke Marcline, James. General William's sweep would not be a threat to us, and if the time was right, I believe in James. Will General William fight for the rights we won, right? ”

Jenny admired the yellow man in front of her very much, she was just trying to lead them to the trap she designed, but she didn't expect that the other party had completely seen through the intention, it was better for Jenny to see through it, and she could be more unscrupulous.

After Miller left, Lin Haijiang said to Jenny thoughtfully: "I admire Miss Jenny's courage and wisdom, but Jenny. Miss William, you seem to be too shrewd in your calculations, don't you? On the one hand, it seems very unkind to cause trouble to your father's nemesis, Duke Marquein, and on the other hand, to have such a large amount of treasure in mind! There is a saying in the East that only villains and women are difficult to raise, and it is really appropriate to describe you! ”

Lin Haijiang's "only villains and women are difficult to raise", translated in English, generally means that it is difficult for women and profit-seeking people to be kind, so Jenny doesn't care.

"Kind?" This word really surprised Jenny, so she turned around and said: "For the British Empire, Mr. Lin is an outsider, you can take your own share back to your homeland, or go away and enjoy life." ”

Lin Haijiang took a deep breath, and his tone immediately became serious: "Do you think that you can control Sergeant Miller and the bloody people of this ship?" If you break out of my grasp, I can guarantee that you will be humiliated to death by them, and then dismembered and eaten! ”

Lin Haijiang's words made Jenny's face a little pale, and her breathing was slightly short, Lin Haijiang straightened his clothes and said: "In addition, I ask you to pay attention, I am a soldier, a navy soldier, please don't use business habits to measure my value." ”

Lin Haijiang left Jenny and came to the bridge, almost all the sailors were gathered on the foredeck by Miller, Lin Haijiang glanced at Miller, who looked a little depressed, in order to stabilize the mood of the crew, Lin Haijiang took a deep breath and said loudly: "Everyone, we actually have a secret mission on this voyage, first of all, I represent the commander of the Second Fleet of the British Empire, James. General William thanks to all of you, it is because of your valorous and fearless loyalty that we have been able to stop a great conspiracy and seize a large number of treasures and firearms, so in a few moments each will be issued 2 Spanish gold coins as a reward! ”

Banzai! Banzai! Long live Captain Lin! After the cheers of the crew stopped, Lin Haijiang said with a solemn expression: "But this does not mean that our secret mission is over, James. General William's letter asks us to act as pirates in this sea area for a while in order to prevent the outbreak of a potential threat to the British Empire! ”

Lin Haijiang's words made the crew below stunned, many people didn't believe their ears? How did you suddenly go from the Royal Navy to a pirate? James. And who is General William?

Lin Haijiang then continued to say loudly as if no one was around: "Due to the shameless sneak attack of the pirates, Captain Mitterrand and others died, as the commander of this secret operation, I have temporarily decided that half of the looted property belongs to everyone!" To compensate for the loss of your reputation during this period, if a man is killed in battle, the Navy will pay his family two hundred pounds, together with any distribution he has received during his time on board. ”

Long live Captain Lin! Banzai! Where did a group of lowly sailors get what reputation? There was only one officer such as Lin Haijiang and a few non-commissioned officers such as Miller on the entire Phoenix, and this was almost an opportunity for these sailors to get rich, and no one questioned Lin Haijiang's real surname, and the sailors had been blinded by the light of the Spanish gold coins.

Lin Haijiang's actions and words were all seen by Jenny, Jenny couldn't imagine what kind of person Lin Haijiang was?

After reassuring the crew, Lin Haijiang pulled Miller aside and said, "You take two hundred gold coins and go with Miss Jenny, nominally as our liaison in London, arrange your family and children, and don't come back!" This pool is too deep! ”

Surprised, Miller felt that his eye circles were red, and Lin Haijiang patted Miller's shoulder hard.

In the evening, in the captain's room, Jenny was like an angry female cat, staring at Lin Haijiang as if nothing had happened, she didn't expect this guy to buy an ironclad ship? And one buy or two?

Although Jenny is not in the Navy, after all, his father James is not in the navy. William was a general in the Royal Navy, so she still had a certain understanding of battleships.

Jenny hesitated for a moment and said to Lin Haijiang: "This is simply impossible, no country will sell weapons like ironclads to private individuals, even if it is a huge force like Duke Maclane, he can't have a battleship, at most it can only be a cruiser, do you understand?" ”

"So what is the difficulty and the key point?" Lin Haijiang put down the coffee cup and looked at Jenny intently, Jenny hesitated for a moment and said: "It's very simple, although there is no limit to the tonnage of armed merchant ships, the number of guns cannot exceed twelve, and the caliber is limited to less than twenty pounds. ”

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly and said, "The ironclad ship I want only needs twelve guns!" ”

Jenny's first feeling was that this guy was crazy, and with only twelve cannons, wouldn't it be an armed merchant ship? Acting as a merchant ship with an ironclad ship?

Lin Haijiang handed over two boxes of gold coins to Jenny along with his gun emplacement design drawings, and instructed her to recruit a group of mechanics for herself, and to equip more vulnerable parts for various boilers, and also specified that the boiler must be equipped with a Nell booster boiler and a supporting steam engine, and the artillery should also specify a Meddoli 24-pound breech fully enclosed ammunition heavy cannon, or a more advanced model in its class.

Jenny is a little helpless, the ship has not yet been skimmed, and all kinds of technicians are about to start recruiting? Is this guy really planning to settle down as a pirate in the Mediterranean? But when you think about it, with a few ironclad ships that resemble armed merchant ships, how big waves can they make?

Jenny remembered that her father had said that pirates were not afraid of his size, and that the bigger the scale, the better it would be to exterminate, but that he would be alone on a ship.

Late at night, Lin Haijiang used a clipper to send Miller and Miss Jenny to a small pier, along with a dozen armed guards.

Looking at the clipper that disappeared into the night, Lin Haijiang sighed slightly, the only adjutant Miller who knew the truth was also broken away by him, this is not that Lin Haijiang is soft-hearted, but he really has no reason to kill Adjutant Miller, the warship is actually a mobile collective, no matter how cruel it is externally, it is to safeguard the interests of the whole, no one will blame you, and internally, you can't completely do things no matter what.

Even if the pirates are fighting among themselves, they rarely kill the other party directly, but choose a route to throw the other party in the sea, in fact, those who fall into the water are almost certain to die, but in the eyes of the pirates, this is to give hope for life after all.

Lin Haijiang is still thinking about finding a port to repair the ship at the moment, as for being a pirate, in Lin Haijiang's opinion, it is just a thought, and it is really boring to drive a ship to try his luck on the route!

Because real pirates have a certain range of activities, they have a system of reading, providing them with supplies, gunpowder, etc., and they have many internal lines in most ports to provide them with information, and then screen the value of the target, like Doport, who does not follow the rules and tries their luck to get through it, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

And for himself, it seems that everything is in his own calculations, but he is not in Jenny. Is that within William's calculations? I was calculated by a girl before my eyes?

Lin Haijiang was very helpless......
