Chapter 51: Battleships
"Jack, where do you think I should go if I want to recruit people?" After thinking for a moment, Li Qingyuan asked Jack Sparrow.
The two system tasks this time are very troublesome, whether it is to be the pirate emperor or to kill the royal fleet of the British, it is not something that can be done by one person!
After all, his current physical fitness is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, not to mention five or five, even the hippie smiling Captain Jack in front of him may not be able to win the other party.
You must know that as the protagonist of the Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies, Jack Sparrow not only has the confidence of a mystery and the ability to negotiate at the master level, but his skills are also quite good.
At least, in terms of swordsmanship fighting and hand-to-hand combat, Li Qingyuan felt that he would be directly abused into scum by the other party!
During this time, he mainly practiced the design skills of firearms, relying on his extraordinary physique and agility, he has been able to achieve a fixed target within 50 meters, which is why he has the confidence to be able to level a boat by himself!
With twice the physique and agility of ordinary people, plus hundreds of years of firepower far beyond the times, if you can't do it with one enemy and a hundred, then just wash and sleep, and what else to do.
"Recruiting? Man, what are you going to do? Jack Sparrow felt a little wrong with the brain circuit of the guy in front of him, and the question now was not to think about how to escape from this desert island.
"I think the pirate life you just mentioned is quite interesting, and I'm going to recruit people to form a pirate group!" Li Qingyuan touched his chin and said.
Regardless of whether he wants to kill the British royal fleet or become the pirate emperor, the first condition is that he must become a pirate.
Through the chat with Jack Sparrow just now, he has learned that the new King George II of England has just succeeded to the throne, and according to the world line, it should be 1728 AD AD.
It's just that the world line of this world seems to be very strange, and it stands to reason that the current China should be in the middle of the so-called 'Kangqian Prosperous Era', but in Jack's mouth, the far east is still said to be ruled by the Ming Dynasty.
However, that kind of news is not important, because his current location is in the Caribbean Sea, half a world away from the Central Plains, and at the current speed of sailing, it will take half a year to return to China at the earliest.
Counting the time back and forth, if he is stubborn enough to go back and pull a group of Chinese to be his subordinates, it will be considered a blessing of Sanqing to be able to complete this matter in a year!
"Pirates? Man, do you have a boat? Jack instantly came to his senses and asked curiously.
In recent years, due to the great development of the Americas, countless European settlers and outlaws have fled to the New World, plus those sold black slaves and the Indians and Mayans who have not yet died, it can be said that people can be recruited everywhere along the entire Atlantic coast.
As long as you have a boat, plus a starting salary that you can pay, you can call a vote of dead guys whenever and wherever you want.
A ship capable of crossing the Atlantic is a valuable treasure even for the kings of European countries.
The simplest reason is that Britain is temporarily ahead of other European countries because it has nearly 200 warships, while Spain, the original maritime hegemon, was defeated by half of its fleet because of two wars, so that only 140 warships were left in the country, becoming the second largest in Europe.
Throughout "Pirates of the Caribbean", the reason why Jack Sparrow has such a deep obsession with the Black Pearl is not only because the ship carries his dreams and life, but also because the ship is too expensive!
The Black Pearl was a three-masted schooner, not even a battleship in terms of ship class, but despite this, it cost a whopping £20,000.
A little bit more!
Even the famous Captain Jack Sparrow was worth only 10,000 pounds at its peak.
"I thought, I should have a boat." Trying to recall the plot in his mind, Li Qingyuan nodded and said.
"Uh, man, you're not talking about sampans, are you?" Jack Sparrow looked left and right, but didn't see any sign of the ship, so he asked teasingly.
"I guess it's a second-class battleship!" Stretching out his hands and turning around sensitively, Li Qingyuan said uncertainly.
According to the records in the movie, the Dreadnought in Port Royal is definitely a battleship, but whether it is a third-class battleship or a second-class battleship, because he is not a professional sailing enthusiast, so he can't tell at all.
"A second-class battleship? Are you kidding? Miss Swan wasn't very interested in the so-called ship, so she didn't react, but Jack Sparrow jumped up from the ground as if he had been electrocuted.
Anyway, how did he manage to sit and jump up?
"What, is there a problem?" Looking at Jax Sparrow's panicked expression, Li Qingyuan asked with a smile.
"Second class battleship, man, do you know what you're talking about?" Jack Sparrow regained a little composure and said word by word.
There are indeed many pirates in the world at present, but whether it is Jack Sparrow or the so-called Nine Pirate Kings, their ships are basically converted from merchant ships.
Because battleships can't be bought at all.
All battleships were in the hands of the royal families, and neither in terms of the quality of the ships nor the number of guns, battleships and modified merchant ships were not products of the same level.
In a one-on-one situation, the captain and sailor may also rely on experience morale and other miscellaneous bonuses to threaten the battleship, but once there are more than three battleships in formation, it is easy to win against ten pirate ships.
This is also the reason why in the third part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", after seeing dozens of battleships appear in the fog, even the nine pirate kings directly lost their courage to fight.
There is no need to fight at all, and after a round of shelling, all of them can only sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!
"I said yes, and naturally there is!" Dragging his chin and thinking about it for a while, Li Qingyuan felt that his plan was still very feasible.
As long as the beacon fire is lit according to the original plot, the Governor of Port Royal Swan, who is looking for Miss Swann nearby, and Brigadier General Norrington will soon be over.
And as long as he gets on the boat, it shouldn't be a problem for him to clean up those people on the boat.
Although there were more than 200 British soldiers on board the Dreadnought, as long as he killed Norrington first with thunder, and then killed twenty or thirty people, the rest of the people should not go all the way to the black and carry themselves to the death.
But then, he looked up at Elizabeth, who was licking her fingers. Swann.
I guess I can't have any possibility of peaceful coexistence with her!
