If the sea was only alive before, then the sea is boiling now.

In the waters of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, the tulip craze has already begun to brew, and now, with the official start of the second phase of the mission of the selectors, this business drama has officially entered the climax.

In the waters of East Asia, the Japanese invaders inexplicably got the full support of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's retainer, the eighth generation of the Nine Ghost Family Naval Army, and frantically pounced on the shores of the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, and the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty seemed to suddenly cheer up from the long-term ignorance of the government, and also focused on the sea, and issued an edict "to follow the Zhao Song Dynasty to invest in the country with sea trade", so the Ming sailors also went crazy, and the hard horse and the hard bridge and the Japanese invaders became a mess.

In the East Asian seas, because of the huge spice interests, the war resumed, and the Netherlands and Portugal, who were brothers and sisters who were independent from Spanish rule, became red-eyed enemies, supporting their own local indigenous forces, and the fight was inextricable.

In the Indian Ocean, religious feuds erupted, Arab sailors and Hindu merchants were not satisfied with the hypocritical peace on the surface, and the colonial forces added fuel to the fire, and the bright scimitars and heavy wooden mallets were raised and slammed together again.

As soon as the news of the two treasures of the sea came out, explorers, slave traders, pirates and privateers went like vultures attracted by carrion, and seafarers died almost every day, and violence flourished in this primitive and wild waters, and even the Europeans, who claimed to be "advanced in civilization", simply tore off their masks and began to join the robbery of open fire.

There is also the Mediterranean Sea where the Fleet and the Spanish Armada have been grudging for a long time, the world's largest inland sea inward from the Strait of Gibraltar has become a natural battlefield, North Africa and the most pagan Catholic Spain are obviously in a state of peace and quiet not long ago, but now, the red war is reflected on the blue ocean again, the two sides have new hatreds and old grudges, and they are endless, if it comes to the scale of the battle, here is the most magnificent and tragic of the seven seas.

The naughty child, the cunning old fox, and the unreasonable black-hearted man in the random space only lightly dropped a little spark, and the whole sea burned, forcing the selectors to have no way to escape.

There are 173 people in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, which may not sound like a big number, but under the influence of the butterfly effect, these small colored wings flapped and gathered a huge storm.

First of all, the price of tulips, this number after a period of stability, once again burst into vitality and vitality, began to rise exponentially, some people even joked that tulip bulbs have become the same hard currency as gold, in the transaction, the purchasing power of bulbs even exceeds the silver sword, all people are crazy hoarding tulips at this time, waiting for a high position, they join this speculative carnival, and believe that this beautiful flower will continue to increase in value, no matter what.

The same is true on the sea, tulip trading has not yet been fully futures at this time, people still need physical materials to support this big gamble, for a time, one-third of the cargo hold on the sea is all tulip transshipment services.

As for the selectors, everyone's task type is very similar to Lao Wang's expectations, and its content basically involves the two keywords of popular products and profit, so whether it is a businessman or a privateer, these sad candidates go crazy to the sea under the manipulation of random space.

The White Tulip, of course, also embarked on a new voyage.

On the day of analyzing the tulip bubble, Lao Wang and Mary came out of the exchange and immediately took advantage of the last 22 hours before the start of the mission, Lao Wang recalled the sailors of the whole ship in advance at the cost of 500 silver horse swords, and quickly completed the work of the whole ship's departure, and then at the four-person meeting of the invincible uncle team, Lao Wang's business plan was supported by all the team members.

As a result, all the money in Lao Wang's hands, a total of more than 62,000 silver horse swords, turned into boxes of onion-shaped bulbs, which were quickly loaded into the cargo hold of the White Tulip, and before the official start of the mission, these tulips carried by the 'Tulip' officially sailed to Stockholm.

Lao Wang, they saw the opportunity early, acted quickly, and belonged to the first echelon to react, and when the White Tulip was moving, the storm was behind them for the time being.

On the first day of the voyage, they entered the open sea safely and soundly, passing through the Oslo Strait, preparing to escape the N-shaped waterway and quickly enter the Baltic Sea, the Dutch sailors' ability to seize the wind provided strong support for the king's hurried plan, and the four-masted galleon galleons ran an average speed of 11 knots, like a rushing fish.

The good times didn't last long, and the changes began the next day!

The selectors of the privateer identity also went to sea, in addition to the selectors with a knowledge qualification of level 5 or above have the function of detecting each other, the pickers of the space to snatch the task also directly released the sailing routes of the merchant selectors, and these sharks that smelled of blood found their prey and began to strangle them.

The White Tulip was attacked while rounding the island of Rice - a privateer moored in the bay on the back of the island suddenly crashed, this Portuguese privateer did not know what was itself, and actually ran to the North Sea, although she only had three masts, but she was modified for battle, in addition to not losing to the number of armaments of the four-masted armed merchant ships, higher than their own speed, Takenaka also detected 5 eyeing selector beacons, both sides even saved basic greetings, and the fierce battle began in such a hurry.

"Gun position, give me a little cleverness, don't tell me that you are not familiar with the new cannon, if I give you a bride, I think you are stronger than anyone else!" Mary put Garland across her neck, her hands around the body of the gun hanging down in front of her chest, which made her look like a child and murderous at the same time, the rude scolding was very good for the temper of the gun position sailors, and the confidence accumulated from successive battles made them morale high, under the command of Mary, they quickly packed up the gun emplacement, and cooperated with the sailors to launch the artillery bombardment.

The four-masted galleon White Tulip was 126 feet long, 40 feet wide, 15 feet draft, and had a displacement of 450 tons, which was only a statistic expansion compared to the Xiulan, but more importantly, the armament on the White Tulip.

She was loaded with 16 guns on a single side, which was reduced by 2 compared to the original gun position, and instead, the method of adding pounds was used when refitting, and these gun positions were changed to more powerful 4-pounder guns, and the gun positions in the bow and stern increased the ratio of shotguns, expanded to 4, and the cargo hold was relatively reduced, fully loaded with 150 tons of cargo, and now Lao Wang is only loaded with 100 tons, thanks to the inspiration of the battle with Scarface, Lao Wang expanded the number of sailors this time, and the white tulip is now a total of 100 people in a family, if it is broadside, it is also capable of fighting。

The two ships gradually approached in an arc, and the selectors who have survived until now have basically survived two or three naval battles, if they are privateers who enter the world as a combatant, this number may be more, and this trial world has some perverted long task times, which makes the selectors become old sea seals, and they have more experience in naval battles, and once they are on the line, no one is weak.

As always, the armed sailors of the stormtroopers led the stormtroopers to sit on the deck, and the name of the "Skuas" inscribed on the enemy's hull was clearly visible in the telescope, and the tentative shelling could already begin at this distance.

"Mary, do you see, let's put a round first!" Lao Wang's telescope did not leave his eyes, and said loudly to Mary, he saw that the opponent's ship was also nervous and busy, it was better to interrupt the enemy's progress with the first shot, which could win the first move.

"Did you hear what the captain said?, prepare the arquebus, prepare~!" Mary shouted the order, took her right hand off Garand, pinched her fingers to make the shape of a hand knife, and then swung down violently: "Fire." ”

The White Tulip was an armed merchant ship, but it was the first to spew out gunpowder smoke and cannon pellets in this duel, and the distance was about 270 yards, barely within the range of 4-pound artillery bombardment, and the privateer on the opposite side obviously did not expect the opposite side to come so quickly, and began to do the whole ship shelling to avoid, and the gun positions that were preparing for war were as slow as Lao Wang expected.

However, the effect was not good, and the first round of shelling did not hit, Mary lost her temper and slapped the gunner closest to her and scolded: "Fools, are you ashamed?"

This female artillery commander, who has a hot and sexy temper and body, no one dares to offend on the White Tulip, after all, the name of "Duchess of the Highland" is not called for nothing.

"Don't hurry up for me, prepare for the next round of shelling, which one hits the enemy ship first, and all the guns are 5 silver horse swords each!" Mary continued to shout, grace and power, and the heroic appearance made Lao Wang's heart burst with joy, this ever-changing woman has now taken deep root in his heart.

The first broadside shelling position of both sides passed like this, and the Skua was unable to launch a counterattack due to the delay and distance of the anti-artillery, but the White Tulip was also a splash maker and returned in vain.

Takenaka and the other team's helmsman chose to repair the rudder inward at the same time, and the track of the two ships was slightly pressed inside, and the distance between them was promoted, and after a short time, there was another broadside-to-side shelling position.

The sailors of the gun position of the White Tulip have indeed improved, and have completed the reloading faster than before, and the Skua is not to be outdone, this time, the tip of the needle is against the wheat!

"Fire!" shouted the commanders of both guns at the same time.

200 yards, the decks and portholes of the white tulips and skua spewed out gunpowder smoke at the same time, and the cannon pellets whistled, straight to the other party's hull, Mary was now very experienced in shelling, and the cannon pellets flew out of a certain trajectory, and she knew that there would definitely be a harvest this time, but there was also bad news, and the cannon on the opposite side should be the same.

"Anti-artillery!" said Lao Wang in a loud voice.

Boss Tan was in charge of the deck, and he had already led the capable arrangement of sandbags and spare supplies on the ship, in order to have a better naval battle.

The projectile hit the hull of the White Tulip, hitting four of them, and two sailors who were close to the side of the ship were unfortunately hit, both of them killed.

The White Tulip has 2 cannon pellets that hit the enemy ship, but the insidious arrangement of Takechu is also reflected here.

Because of the current several stages of the mission, the selectors are concerned about currency and the number of kills, so there are not many people who are willing to invest in naval guns, Takenaka persuaded Lao Wang to replace the cannon with a 4-pounder gun, and now, the effect of this little guy's sinister intentions will come out at once.

The Skua was modified for naval warfare, with 18 guns on one side, more than the White Tulip, and all 3-pounder guns, which hit the Spanish-made four-masted Galen ship, and it could not be said that there was no damage, but it always took a few more hits to sink.

Lao Wang's side was different, there were only 2 4-pounder cannon pellets that hit the Skuas, but the strong penetrating power directly penetrated the side plate of the ship, and with great luck, a three-pounder cannon was directly lifted away, and the cannon body smashed onto the deck of the ship, pushing four or five sailors in one go, and two of them saw their chests collapse and could not survive.

The Skua was taken by surprise, but as privateers, they reacted quickly, they were faster than the White Tulip, and at this time they decisively chose the means of controlling the sail reduction, lowering the speed, and at the same time repairing the rudder outward, slightly widening the distance.

In this way, the distance between the two ships was controlled at about 250 yards, and the round of shelling just now also made the Skapa understand the fact that the opponent's 4-pounder projectile was greatly resisted, and his own 3-pounder shell had little resistance, and it was possible to shoot at 250 yards in the medium and long range, just so that I could hit you, but you couldn't hit me.

In addition, the speed of the two ships is the same, and playing with two people is always in the same position, in other words, it is always a good opportunity to shoot.

In this way, the artillery positions of both sides must begin to fight for the real effort of their hands, the 3-pounder gun shoots lightly, the loading must be fast, and at the same time, because of the relationship between the shooting accuracy, the other side will definitely be more disturbed by the artillery than itself, and the combination of the two is a proper artillery battle advantage.

The Skua slowed down, and the two ships successfully maintained the broadside to the side, and the initial goal was achieved, and then, she took the lead in starting to fire the cannon by virtue of the loading advantage, and the 3-pounder cannon at this distance naturally did not mean that it would be a hundred shots, but 18 in 2~5 for privateer gunners, there was still no problem.

Sure enough, Mary's side fired a little late, but the difference in results had already been revealed, the Skua and the White Tulip cannon were less powerful than the 1:4, 3-pounder guns, but the hit rate was much higher, and the quantitative change brought about a qualitative change, the white Tulip's gangway was hit with sawdust, the sailors were killed and wounded five or six, and a 4-pounder gun was also overturned.

"Mary, is there a problem?" Lao Wang saw that the gun position was at a loss, and hurriedly asked in the team channel, the other party saw his flaws, and if he continued to fight like this, there might be a problem.

"It's okay, it's just that they caught our shortcomings!" replied to the beautiful reporter, while anxiously rectifying the gun position.

"Bamboo, rudder position, we have to shoot close to the distance before we can fight, Boss Tan, take his men to grab the wind, we don't have to care about the long life of the ship, how to use it, the chain bomb on the deck is ready, let's gamble on luck to see if we can tear the opening." Without thinking, Lao Wang successively issued orders for Kuan'er, and even he didn't know that his combat talent had gradually spread from hand-to-hand combat to any battlefield where he existed.
