Chapter 433: Lord Beckett's Scheme

Caribbean, Endeavour.

This three-deck battleship has formidable firepower! On the left and right, there are dozens of artillery pieces, including many powerful guns with high power pounds. Together, there are more than 100 guns in total, and this is definitely a huge ship with powerful equipment and amazing firepower. Around the Endeavor, the Combined Navy, plus some armed merchant ships, the number of warships has already exceeded a hundred.

In terms of numbers alone, the size of the combined navy is several times larger than that of the pirate coalition. In terms of the size of artillery, it is more than ten times that of the pirate coalition army. If you line up in a line to form a battle line, then only one salvo is needed. Even if it can't sink all of the Pirate Alliance, it will be enough to make the Pirate Alliance lose more than half of its combat power.

As the flagship of the Combined Navy, Endeavor is at the forefront. On its left and right sides, it is guarded by a large number of Royal Navies, and on the periphery of the Royal Navy are the navies of various countries. Also, due to the fact that the Royal Navy is the strongest. There are still warships in the open and in the dark, faintly surround allies, after all, it is not a bad thing to defend oneself.

And the commander-in-chief of this combined fleet was none other than the well-known director of the East India Company, Lord Kotler Beckett.

This lord is committed to eradicating pirates and returning peace to the sea, for pirates, this lord has just taken office. He vowed to wipe out all the pirates.

And when the nine pirate kings gathered and held the fourth conference of the pirate kings, this news was naturally learned by Lord Beckett. This made Lord Beckett realize that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wipe out the pirates and keep the sea frontier in peace. Therefore, Lord Beckett ambitiously summoned the Royal Navy, and continued to inquire about the news, and finally determined the location of the Pirate King's meeting - Shipwreck Bay!!

However, the fort in Shipwreck Bay is unusually strong and has plenty of fresh water inside. Enough to ensure that the pirates were in a siege situation and supported for several years.

Such uncertainties are the most unfavorable news for the coalition forces.

Even the combined navy has more than 100 warships and dozens of times more powerful firepower than pirates. However, the topography of Shipwreck Bay and the conditions of the port could not accommodate more than a hundred warships at one time. And the attack of several ships at a time, or more than a dozen, then it becomes a tactic of adding fuel and is a taboo for soldiers!

So, how can you get the pirates to take the initiative to go out of the port and fight the Union Navy? For this question, Beckett pondered and finally thought of a suitable person.

Davy jones!

To be precise, Beckett was interested in the Norwegian sea monster under David Jones. David Jones alone and his flying Dutchman could not conquer Shipwreck Bay. After all, a sail warship could not fire both sides of the gun at the same time. It is not possible to concentrate all the artillery in one point of engagement.

Then, in the face of the fortified fortress batteries and the pirates guarding Shipwreck Bay, even the famous and fierce David Jones will have to return home in the face of such a strong fortress. The only thing that could bring chaos and threat to the pirates is David Jones' pet, the Norwegian Sea Monster.

After all, the Norwegian sea monster is there. Coupled with the huge and long tentacles, lurking in the bay, smashing and knocking, it must be enough to give the pirates a moment of chaos. At that time, the Combined Fleet will have plenty of time to mobilize marines for landing. Not to conquer, but to distract the pirates. At that time, elite warships will be dispatched into the port and will be bombarded closely. In this way, a three-sided attack will definitely be able to defeat the pirates.

However, Lord Beckett did not want to use such a method. Because, this will have an extremely heavy cost of casualties. It would be great if you could lure the pirates out of the port for a decisive battle. Because the advantage of the combined fleet is there, and it is not an opponent that a mere pirate can easily defeat. After all, Britain is not the Spain it used to be.

Neither the ships, nor the personnel, firepower, or tactical formations of the 16th century are comparable. And, most importantly, not all pirates have defeated the Spanish Armada like Francis Drake, Hawkins, and Reilly.

Moreover, it is also important to note that the Royal Navy today is not the Spanish Armada of the 16th century.

The Royal Navy, now in the Caribbean, is just a detachment of the British Empire's vast fleet. Moreover, there are coalition forces around the Royal Navy, and even so, the sheer number and artillery are enough to wipe out all the pirates.

In addition, the current era is the era of battle line bombardment, not the early gang fighting, the competition is tactical formations and excellent gunners and sailors. And at this point, Beckett has plenty of confidence.

"Pirate ......" Lord Beckett stood in the luxuriously decorated cabin with a cup of tea, looking out at the endless sea through the glass window on one side. Hmph, the sea belongs only to the British Empire......" At this time, the door of the cabin was opened, and a tall figure entered. What followed was a fishy smell, which made Beckett frown slightly.

"Cutler Beckett ......"

The man was dressed as a pirate, covered in a thick layer of dirt and a fishy smell. The most amazing thing is that he has crab claws on his left hand and an octopus on his head. The identity of this person, who is about to be revealed, is none other than David Jones.

"It's Lord!" Beckett glanced at David and corrected. Immediately, he walked over to the table, filled an empty cup with tea and put in a piece of sugar, and walked over to David Jones and handed it to him. The latter ignored it, and even rudely knocked over the teacup in Beckett's hand, Beckett looked at the broken porcelain and the fine Indian tea, "It's a pity..."

"Beckett, let's get straight!" David Jones was not afraid of him, and now he has not lost the chest that holds his heart. He also has a Norwegian sea monster under his command, and with his immortal body, no one but the gods can kill him. Moreover, the key to open the box was worn by him and hidden by the octopus tentacles around his neck. There really is no one in the heavens and on the earth who can kill him.

Beckett took a sip of tea, and he looked at David, "Mr. Captain, I wonder what you think about the upcoming Pirate Conference?" When the latter heard this, his lips snorted like bubbles, and he laughed, "What do I do with a group of pirates who can't get on the table?" But Beckett looked at him calmly, "Is that really the case?" ”

With a bang, David Jones's crab claws slammed on the table, and there was a crisp sound of porcelain and metal colliding. The guard, who was in charge of the guard, immediately rushed in and aimed his gun at David Jones. And he didn't care at all, and looked at Beckett fearlessly. The latter waved his hand for the soldier to stand down, and Beckett took out a document imprinted with fire paint and handed it to David Jones. The latter took the file, looked at it, and then his eyes widened. "Is this true?"

"Lie to you, can I gain anything?"

"No, no, no, no, how dare they do this!" David Jones lost his temper angrily, and the octopus tentacles on his face kept waving, "Is your information really reliable?" ”

When the latter heard this, he calmly drank his tea, and then said: "This is the result of the great cost and great effort that our East India Company has obtained from the Barbossa crew. He gracefully put down his teacup, "And don't you know about the recent anomalies on the sea?" ”

The latter frowned, his fluttering tentacles swaying, "You mean..."

"Trident!"

David Jones' pupils contracted for a split second, and Beckett ignored the shocked David Jones. In fact, when he learned the news, he was also shocked, and the shock in his heart was not much smaller than his. However, this is already the case, and Beckett is smart and understands that this gap is not an absolute gap that can be reversed by manpower! The legend of the Trident, the power of free control of the endless sea, made this era of sea power destined to accept the supreme position of one person. Speaking of which, this is also a helpless thing.

"We at the East India Company have special information, and I am sure of this, that the Trident was indeed obtained by one man. And this pirate meeting is also controlled by this person behind the scenes! "Now that we both know each other's interests, and I need to secure the maritime status of the British Empire, then this group of pirates must be eliminated." And you, too, have things you worry about. Seeing David Jones' silent expression, "We know very well what you are doing, and in this world, if I want to, I will definitely find out what I want to know." Naturally, including yours. ”

"What do you want to do, Beckett?"

Beckett poured two glasses of wine and handed one to David Jones, who took it and didn't drink it. Beckett looked at him, "Cooperation, of course!" He looked him in the eye, "You and I have common interests, and we can form an alliance." I need to purge the pirates, quell the chaos in the seas, and secure the interests of our British Empire! And you, too, have problems you have to face......" he held out a hand, "Well, the pirates are the key that we can't bypass, and you and I will join forces to defeat them." So, what you're worried about doesn't happen, how? ”

David Jones thought for a long time and nodded, "Happy cooperation!" The latter immediately smiled, and the wine glasses of both sides collided together, and they drank it all, and the alliance was completed!
