North of the Caribbean, in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a formidable sea: Bermuda.

The Spaniard Juan Bermuda arrived on the island in 1503, hence the name Bermuda. After the Anglo-Spanish War, the English came to colonize it in 1609, which opened the prelude to the competition between the British and Spanish colonists for Bermuda.

Bermuda is made up of 7 main islands and more than 150 small islands and reefs. Bermuda is the largest. The Spaniards occupied Bermuda, the largest of the main island, and garrisoned 3,000 troops on it, and built two harbors, Harrington and Gretel, of which there was a naval base in Grett Bay, and two fourth-class battleships and five cruisers, as well as a dozen frigates. The British, on the other hand, stationed 800 troops on George Island in the north, built the George Naval Base, deployed a third-class battleship, six cruisers, and more than a dozen frigates.

Both sides have a heavy presence on the island, which is less than 60 square kilometres, because of Bermuda's strategic location. Bermuda was the bridgehead for the Spanish Imperial Navy's invasion of Mexico and South America, and then became the gateway for the Spanish Empire's treasure ships to return to Europe. Soon, however, a large number of pirate gangs supported by the British government went around robbing Spanish merchant ships, and the first British pirates set out from Bermuda, which was also their refuge.

Over the past 100 years, Bermuda has swallowed up an unknown number of merchant ships. In order to combat the Spanish trade, the British caused a large number of horrific events in Bermuda to prevent the merchant fleet from passing by. At the same time, it also covered up the crime of British pirates robbing Spanish merchant ships.

Lin Kai commanded the Eagle to pursue the pirate ship Monig all the way, but the vast sea and the arrival of darkness made it impossible to see the shadow of the Manig.

Before you know it, the Eagle sails into the Bermuda Sea.

"Commander, we're in Bermuda."

Lin Kai nodded, and the staff officer continued to ask, "Do you think we are going back?" ”

"Why do you want to go back?" Lin Kai looked at the staff officer differently and said, "Have you found the Manig and sailed back?" ”

The staff officer replied weakly, "But this is Bermuda."

"What's wrong with Bermuda?"

"I've heard that strange things happen here, and the merchant ships disappear at every turn, or strange things happen, and it is said that there are still sea ghosts."

"Ridiculous, you see that eye?" Lin Kai snorted coldly and said, "We are a navy, and we are all heroic and upright, even if there are ghosts, we will be scared away."

The staff officer swallowed his saliva, and secretly said that he couldn't persuade Lin Kai's will, and only hoped that nothing would happen.

However, things are always a bit evil, Lin Kai had just reprimanded the staff officer, but suddenly thunder sounded in the sky, even though it was pouring rain and howling.

"It's not so evil, is it?"

A gust of sea breeze blew, it was so cold that Lin Kai couldn't help but shiver, and his heart suddenly jumped a few times.

"It's a bit evil, let's go quickly"

The staff officer hurriedly stepped forward to speak long-winded, but was repelled by Lin Kai's fierce eyes, and retreated aggrievedly.

The rain became heavier and heavier, the wind became tighter and tighter, and the huge hull of the Xiangying loomed in the waves*, swaying from side to side, and the rolling period became shorter and shorter.

When the waves were strong, all the crew had to just hold on to the gauntlets and do nothing.

"What the hell does the weather say, it changes."

Although Lin Kai did not believe in evil sects, he also knew that warships were also dangerous under strong winds and waves, so he ordered to return.

However, the wind and waves are getting stronger, and it is simply a storm.

The sails of several tens of meters high became a danger signal for Yan zhòng, and the battleship tilted several times to reach a dangerous range.

As a last resort, Lin Kai had no choice but to order the sails to be lowered and all sealed hatches closed.

Fortunately, the Xiangying's hull has a sealed cabin with an anti-sinking design, and the all-steel hull has a very high ability to resist wave strikes, so as long as the most dangerous sails are lowered, the warship is still safe as a whole.

Instead of catching the pirates, Lin Kai was quite depressed and went back to the captain's room to sleep with his head in his arms.

In this way, the Eagle spent a tumultuous night in the storm. Even though the officers and men of the Imperial Chinese Navy were strictly trained in sea conditions and had considerable sailing experience, there were still fifty or sixty officers and men who were shaken up and down, and they were very wolf-like.

The storm was over when the east of the sky was white.

The bell of the morning exercise rang and reached the captain's room, waking Lin Kai from his sleep.

The battleship Xiangying was tossed by a storm all night, and a large amount of dirt, aquatic weeds, and even fish and shrimp in the sea accumulated on the hull. Early in the morning, the sailors, under the command of the officer, began to clean the decks, aisles and cabins.

By the time Lin Kai got up and came to the outside of the bridge, the Xiangying's clean and beautiful demeanor had already recovered as before.

Lin Kai likes to breathe in the fresh morning air after the rain and eat breakfast on the bridge. The preference of the commander greatly influenced the thinking of his subordinates, and naturally the officers and men of the Xiangying also did the same thing to eat breakfast outside.

The pirates weren't caught last night, and Lin Kai knew there was no chance of finding them again. In order to improve the mood of all the officers and soldiers, Lin Kai ordered the kitchen to add food and wine, and a breakfast turned into a meal.

At seven o'clock in the morning, all the officers and men of the Xiangying finished their morning class. As the morning sun rose, the flag of the Chinese Empire and the flag of the Royal Navy were also raised on the Xiangying.

Inside the command tower, Lin Kai looked at the chart and frowned, and said, "Are you sure it's not wrong?" ”

The staff officer replied with great certainty: "Report to the commander, more than a dozen of our staff officers have calculated that we are indeed on the west coast of Africa now, and if nothing else, we will be in French Morocco not far to the east."

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with those sextants you're using?"

"Yes sir, I'm sure"

"How can it be that you drifted thousands of miles in one night, you are a bird when our warship is a bird, even an eagle can't fly so fast"

"......"

Lin Kai still didn't believe it, took the sextant and went to the bridge to observe and calculate in person. However, when the observations were obtained, Lin Kai was dumbfounded when comparing them with the chart markings.

"So so? What the hell."

"They all say Bermuda is evil"

"Shut up"

Lin Kai glared, and the staff officers retreated in fright.

"It must be a broken sextant"

Lin Kai's disappearance could not accept the reality, a battleship without sails actually drifted from the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean overnight, a distance of thousands of miles is really unacceptable.

"There is a boat"

The sentry shouted, and Lin Kai and the others quickly saw that it was the Manig.

"Damn it, don't let him run"

Lin Kai recognized the Manig at a glance, and as long as he paid attention to the ships, he would never forget them.

"Combat Alert"

As soon as all the officers and men of the Xiangying saw their prey, they immediately forgot what had just happened, and the whole ship quickly entered a combat state.

"Full rudder left, full sail full speed ahead"

As the steering gear filled the left, the Eagle quickly turned left and headed for the Manig to the west.

Similarly, on the Manig, the pirate No. 3 leader Dirk and his minions are also confused by the second monk. They also experienced a night of storms and appeared on the east coast of West Africa after dawn.

At this time, the pirates also spotted the Flying Eagle, and Dirk secretly cursed that the ghost would not go away, and he immediately ordered to flee at full speed. V
