Chapter 231: Mona Strait (Part II)

Wang Mancang, who was preoccupied with commanding the ship, didn't know at all at this time that he had become the object of discussion in the mouth of the posterior ship selector, even if he heard it, he didn't care if the other party despised him, and now he had to find a way to pass through the Mona Strait, he could only work hard to command all posts to cooperate and speed up the ship, as for other things, he was really unhappy.

As for not being able to spot the shadow of the ship at a distance of 1,000 yards, this is not a dereliction of duty on the part of the lookout, you know, Mary is a marksman, her naked eye vision and lookout skills are very good, plus she has a simple telescope, she can observe far away, as early as Falcony's cruiser caught up with the White Tulip fleet, she discovered the whereabouts of the other party, and reported it to Lao Wang as soon as possible.

Lao Wang paid attention to the enemy for a while, but Falconi did not make any trouble, the ship drove quietly, without any offensive action, and only followed the trajectory of the White Tulip with his head bored, as if he was just greedy for the passage opened up by the White Tulip to save trouble, and just followed directly, and there was no other thought.

In this case, he will never be the one who provokes trouble, so there is no friction with the other party, and the two ships just maintain a tacit understanding and sail before and after...

"Sharpen your hands and feet! Hold the sail for me! Don't give me the endurance of the mast at this time, remember, we are going to keep moving forward at maximum speed!" Lao Wang ordered in a deep voice, as an admiral, his emotions can directly affect the whole ship, so the more this time, the more his voice must not panic, otherwise the sailors below will not be able to settle for the new arrival, and the ship's maneuvering will be more unstable.

Lao Wang looked around the fleet again, and felt that it was time to do it, the remaining voyage was too dangerous, there were many ships, and it would be troublesome to cross the Mona Strait, and in this kind of strait with high waves, it was almost impossible to conduct artillery warfare, so they did not need to rely on numbers to increase their naval combat advantage!

"Flag, the Skua followed, and the rest of the ship sailed east for a while, then turned around and waited for us to meet us on the north side of Jamaica Island, and the whole team was under Ferdinand's command!"

This is the formation strategy that Lao Wang has thought of before, before the ships return to the northern part of Jamaica Island, the sea conditions of the channel are mostly complex and changeable, and it is not easy to compete for speed under the premise of maintaining safety, and it is even more difficult to have a sea battle, rather than letting 8 ships venture through the Mona Strait together, it is better to only go hand in hand with the Skua of Hines.

Under the command of the flag, the formation of the eight ships changed, and the White Tulip and the Skua protruded forward, like the first horse coming out of the crowd, and under the full force of the wind, the speed of the ship suddenly rose again, and in the place where everyone felt that they should slow down, they went the opposite way, and went straight forward.

The remaining six ships began to slow down slowly, and there were signs of turning around, and the fleet, which had been moving in whole formations, was officially split in two.

Lao Wang clenched his fists tightly, this was his duel with the sea as a surveyor, and the difficulty and tension were no worse than when they faced each other with swords, and even Lao Wang felt that the tension was still excessive.

He kept telling himself to calm down, to calm down, and at the moment he was a racer, a racer waiting for a tough corner.

Wang Mancang's face was solemn, his eyes were staring at the sea, and his mind was thinking quickly:

Now that our straight course is over, the White Tulip has gone about 2 kilometers more east, slightly beyond the turning course that most competitors would choose, which is a good time for my plan to accelerate, and the command to continue the wind rush just now, no problem.

Well, the speed of the ship is still accelerating, and we are lucky, at the critical moment, the wind speed of the east wind seems to be a little stronger, which should be the reason for the close proximity to the Caribbean island chain, according to most logbooks, the wind here is always stronger than the wind near the center of the Caribbean Sea, and the speed increases, and we will be more sure.

The mainmast is ringing again, grandma's, at this time, you must not be sluggish, if you fold, we are all finished, there is no front and rear eye, I should have invested more money in the construction of ships!

However, why hasn't the time come yet, it feels like it's almost there, why haven't you seen it at home!?

"Admiral, Mona Island is clearly visible, straight line away... About 3 km!" Mary's cry squeezed into the old king's thoughts, and he bounced high on the deck.

It's time for this voice at home!

Lao Wang shook his fist violently, and didn't have time to say anything to Mary in the team channel, so he just shouted loudly: "Helm position!

Takenaka clearly understood all of Lao Wang's plans when he had a small meeting just now, and he didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and his little hand turned the rudder quickly and cautiously, and the white tulip drew a large arc at high speed according to his control, and stuck it towards Mona Island, the gorge island in the center of the Mona Strait.

Lao Wang looked at the approaching Mona Island, and almost grabbed the railing of the boat around him: It's really fucking crazy, I will never say that those athletes who drive on other people's TV are making money for nothing, this racing sport is simply going to crush people's hearts!

"Mona Island, 2 km!" Mary's voice came again, like the navigator of a rally, dutifully reporting the status of the boat, but the voice of the beautiful reporter sounded a little tight, and she was also under pressure when she thought about it.

"Steady, steady, without my orders, anyone who dares to move, kill on the spot, deck dignitaries, take responsibility for me. Lao Wang shouted loudly, and when Boss Tan heard this, he immediately put the two flintlock pistols in his hands, and coldly turned around on the deck, and the pervasive killing machine instantly shocked the whole ship, and controlled the sailors who were just a little timid again.

Sometimes, the best way to solve fear is to use greater fear to suppress it, if you don't believe it, just ask the Soviets during World War II, the firepower of the Germans in front of you and the black guns fired by the political commissars behind you, you always have to choose one or the other!

"Mona Island, less than 1.5 kilometers!" The tremor in Mary's voice was quite obvious, at this distance, Mona Island was a bit like a monster with teeth and claws, hideous and abnormal, a bit of a rush to the face, and if you didn't make adjustments, the white tulips would be like an egg, mercilessly smashed on the solid reef.

"Stop the rudder and change back to due east!" The time that the old king had been waiting for finally came, he turned to Takenaka and said loudly: "Repair the rudder, change to the north-east direction, Roderick, immediately put away the sails, and then, get that ready!"

There was a rush on the deck, and the sailors, under Tan Liang's almost rough command, completed the sail as fast as they could, looking at their admirals with doubt and horror, not knowing what the fate of them would be.

Takenaka is not idle, the little guy's strength is only 6 points, that is, slightly higher than the adult man's, and now he has to complete the steering under the high speed of the boat, and the little guy is also using his strength to eat.

Fortunately, his efforts paid off, and the White Tulip changed its course at the moment when it was about to touch Mona Island, and once again changed to sail due east, and then Takenaka quickly hit the left rudder, so that the bow of the ship was maintained on the north-east defense line that Lao Wang needed, and passed by the edge of the island, and at this time, the distance between the ship and the island was only less than 300 yards, I have to say, under Lao Wang's surveying and Takenaka's rudder, White Tulip completed a wonderful sailing on the island!

However, this is not enough, the course of the White Tulip still did not turn to the north, and if it continues like this, she will inevitably continue to accelerate and eventually crash into the cape of Puerto Rico Island, unless, Lao Wang has some other tricks!

Of course Lao Wang has, his last move is Boss Tan, who has been preparing for a long time!

The invincible uncle team Mary monitors the distance, Takenaka is at the helm, and Lao Wang controls the overall situation, but whether the voyage can succeed depends on Boss Tan's actions in the end.

"Admiral!" Tan Liang stood on the side of the White Tulip, holding the harpoon cannon that he usually used to clean up the whales, looking at Mona Island that was getting closer and closer with all his attention, and shouted loudly to Lao Wang, asking for the timing of the attack.

"Wait!" Lao Wang replied loudly, his right hand slowly raised into the air, his eyes were locked on Mona Island, and he muttered silently in his heart:

A little closer, a little closer, it is better to reach the limit of the distance, the limit distance is the best!

These few seconds were almost as long as a century, and Lao Wang even buckled his toes into the boat, carefully feeling the force coming from the sea:

Wait, what does it feel like? How do you feel the deck under your feet, suddenly shaking?! Could it be that you have arrived? You have reached the high swell channel of the Mona Strait!

Well, now!

"Harpoon!" Lao Wang's voice pierced the sea, stuffed into Boss Tan's ears like a wedge, and then exploded with echoes all over his head.

Tan Liang's hand had already been released and put on the trigger of the harpoon, and it was put on and released several times, and as soon as Lao Wang's voice came out, Boss Tan pulled the trigger like a nerve reflex.

"Click!" the harpoon flew out with a bundle of black ropes, and then rigged into the reef of Mona Island, instantly stretched straight because of the ship's great inertia.

"All staff, resist the impact!" Old Wang Yuguang saw the trajectory of the harpoon's flight, and almost at the same time, he gave the next order to the ship.

Dragons, whether the technology you blow to the sky is useful or not depends on this fork.

Almost everyone forgot that the good things that Lao Wang extorted from mysterious substances in the center of the earth were not only real money, diamond agate, but also illusion principles and Dragone technology.

This seemingly ordinary harpoon is actually the latest lock developed by the Dragone Scients, and its original design was to urgently drive the mine cart into the ground if it loses control, so that it can be stabilized by a fixed gear and a powerful elastic cable.

Lao Wang was robbing at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but as long as he had, he took it first, and this fixed lock, he even took the technical sample, and directly packed 4 of them, so that he would appear here.

Originally, he didn't notice this thing, but when Lao Wang was designing the route, he accidentally found this thing called nail claws, and it was so coincidental that he had a flash of inspiration, and the plan was formed.

Lao Wang didn't know which was heavier, the white tulips running like crazy or the mining gear, but looking at the real iron pimple four-wheeled vehicle, it was not light under inertia, in short, success or failure in one fell swoop.

The claw drills into the reef, and the built-in expansion gas power machine does the work to push the claw body to drill into the reef, and then, its built-in blasting sac is opened, so that the claw opens inside the reef in the shape of a claw and is firmly fixed.

The galloping horse of the White Tulip was suddenly reined in the process of moving at high speed, and the huge braking inertia made everyone on the ship stagger, but because of sufficient preparation in advance, almost all the crew were clinging to the fixed object, and this emergency stop did not cause attrition.

Lao Wang didn't dare to slack off, he looked at the constantly trembling nail claws and powerful elastic ropes, feeling that this thing was like his heartstrings, he stabilized his mind, rushed to the rudder where Zhuzhong was, and took the rudder from the little guy's hand.

The next rudder power is more difficult for the little guy to bear, and he must ensure that nothing goes wrong!

The powerful rope became thinner and thinner under the pull of the nail claws and the white tulip, and everyone clung to the fixation around them, waiting for the end of the sudden braking.

The White Tulip slowed down and eventually stopped as she pulled the powerful rope away for nearly 600 yards.

"Don't be discouraged!" Lao Wang's eyes flashed, and he shouted loudly: "Keep going!" He licked his lips with some excitement, and then whispered as if talking to himself: "Now, we are going to play a sudden acceleration!"

Before he could finish speaking, the White Tulip was pulled by a powerful rope and began to accelerate in the direction of Mona Island.

Because the White Tulip had just undergone an emergency orientation adjustment, her bow was now basically north, and due to the connection of the strong elastic cable, a fixed-point circle was formed between the ship and the island, and at the moment when the elastic rope contracted, it headed in the direction of north-west.

The technology of the Dragone people did not disappoint the old king, this elastic rope that looked about the thickness of a large cable stretched out with great force, pulling the white tulip to soar in a short time, but the pity of the ship, only to experience a sudden stop, and now it has to experience a sudden speed, and the wood all over the body is making a tooth-making creaky sound.

Taking advantage of the acceleration, Lao Wang tightened the rudder, tried his best to resist the force of the rebound of the rope and the centrifugal force of the ship, and tried his best to control the rudder position to the left, only in this way could he prevent the ship from being pulled sideways and turned into a direction due west, so that he finally crashed into Mona Island.

Wang Mancang's strength is much greater than that of Takenaka, but the ship is still inevitably heading in the direction of Mona Island, and 23 points of strength is still a little insufficient in this situation.
