"Thirty percent is not much, I can promise you. But we need to agree in advance that you and your flagship can't just cover us with guns on the periphery. In the subsequent assault on the fortress, you must be involved in it yourself. Benjamin pondered for a moment, then answered on behalf of his group. At the same time, Cotton Jack also nodded, and they also agreed to the remuneration offered by Wang Hao.

Of course, it is not enough to get thirty percent of the treasure by only putting two cannons on the periphery to cover it, but if you add Wang Hao, a fierce general, to charge into battle in person, the price is very worthwhile, and the conditions proposed by Benjamin are also expected.

Wang Hao nodded and said, "Of course, how can I be missing from such a thing." In that case, do you need me to avoid it so that I can give you some time to discuss the distribution of the treasure? ”

Faced with such a sensitive question, no one else answered, and in the end, it was Benjamin who stood up, "No, after subtracting your share, we will distribute the rest according to the provisions of the pirate contract, which is something that everyone has no objection to." ”

Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders and said that since others no longer have any opinions, then he doesn't care, "Okay, my friends, then we should immediately discuss the issue of attacking the fortress." After all, time is golden! ”

"Of course, I can't wait!" Cottonjack turned his head and nodded at the two ladies who had been sitting steadily at the wooden table.

Then Anne Burney, a good-looking, red-haired lady with flaming hair, stood up and spread out two sheets of paper on the table, one of the Caribbean and the other of a hand-drawn overview of the naval fort.

"Okay guys, I think you all know the danger of our operation. Once again, I would like to remind you that it is still too late to exit until I mark the exact location of the fortress. ”

No one answered, everyone gathered around the table, panting and looking at the empty charts.

"Well, since no one has exited, I'm going to mark the location of the fortress. One last reminder to you, if someone betrays us, you know what will happen to you! ”

Anne Bernie then stretched out a finger and pointed at an inconspicuous island called Cape Guarico.

After everyone present saw that position, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed expressions of relief.

Those who have been roaming the Caribbean know of the location and general strength of all naval forts, and the fort pointed out by Anne Burney, although not the smallest of them, is only one battery guard, and there are not many defenders in it.

On top of that, it's far enough away from Port Royal or Havana, where there are large Royal Navy garrisons, that the pirates have plenty of time to plan the operation.

Only Benjamin looked at this position and immediately furrowed his eyebrows.

For no other reason, the fort was British territory, and Benjamin, as an English privateer who had a 'British Empire privateer', at least on the surface, had never robbed British ships before, and he had no intention of robbing British ships in the future.

This is the main reason why he was able to stand out among Wang Hao and Blackbeard and others and become the nominal ruler of Nassau. Not just because his fleet was large enough, but also because he was old enough, both Blackbeard and Black Sam had served as his subordinates before. Mainly because with him as the leader, the British will look better on face, that's all.

At the same time, everyone else noticed this and looked at Benjamin with amusement.

Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, Benjamin coughed lightly and said, "I will not be involved in this operation myself, but my ship will be under the command of two captains, Titch and Bellamy, respectively. The rest goes according to plan, it's up to you. ”

"In that case, we have no opinion." Anne Burney glanced at Benjamin, and then said, "This drawing must be familiar to everyone, this is a general map of the fortress of Cape Guarico. From this map, we can see that the fortress of Puerto Guarico was built against the back of the mountain, and only in the southeast was a small fort was built, which is considered a relatively small fortress. If it weren't for the fact that the treasure ship with gold could not continue sailing, they would not have said anything that would have anchored in such a small fortress. ”

"It's just that there are several shore guns on this battery, and they are all large-caliber heavy cannons. In front of them, our ships are extremely vulnerable, and their cannonballs can easily penetrate our ships. Even if we could rush through the range of the artillery at all costs, let's not forget that there are still a large number of defenders on the shore that will require a lot of manpower to deal with. ”

"And because the battery is built on a high place, the guns on our ship can only attack the base of the battery, and they can't pose any threat to those cannons at all, and the only thing that can cause damage to these cannons is the mortar on Captain Wang's ship!"

"Fortunately, however, the navy that built the fort did not put much effort into the fortress. So these cannons are placed in the open air, without any shelter on them. Therefore, Captain Wang, you don't need to completely blow up the entire battery, as long as you can maintain the continuous firepower output, so that the shore guns on the top of the pillbox cannot interfere with our fleet. ”

"When our first ships arrive at the fortress and the two sides officially enter the battle, I think those large-caliber cannons will no longer be able to play their due role."

Well, it's a rough plan, but it's also very much in line with the pirate's simple and brutal personality. Except for the point that the mortar on Wang Hao's ship hit the local firepower, the whole plan revealed a core, that is, to take the heap of life.

But the pirates don't care about that anymore, especially the ones who have gathered here, and these truly daring pirates.

As we all know, it is impossible for a treasure ship to transport only gold, after all, even in the gold-rich Americas, gold is not everywhere, and there is always an upper limit to the annual production. And how much can be transported on one voyage, a ton? Or three tons?

But the density of gold was so great that it occupied only a small part of the treasure ship's cabin, and the rest of the cabin could never be empty.

Silver, pearls, precious stones, coral, sugar, cigars, cotton, furs, rum, various precious metals......

These greedy pirates, who have lost what they have in their sanity in the face of these countless treasures, will dare to go to war with anyone at the slightest instigation, and who will survive will be left to fate.

"Okay! Now we need the best sailors, the best gunners, and the fastest ships. All will attack the fortress together, no one will hide their secrets, no one will flee, and those who violate will be spurned by all and will bear the wrath of all! ”

Benjamin pulled out the ornate dagger studded with gems at his waist, glanced around at everyone, and with a 'bang', slammed the dagger into the location of the 'Cape Guarico' on the map.
