Chapter 194: A Gift to the Brigadier General

Wang Hao's voice called the leaders who were still in a sluggish state back to the real world, probably from the small movements in their hands, and everyone laughed awkwardly.

There is a saying that silver is white, reflecting the black heart of people, and not everyone can be unmoved in the face of wealth.

In particular, the pirate life is really not as romantic as modern people imagine, so much so that Wang Hao couldn't accept this kind of life when he first became a pirate and went to sea for the first time.

The harsh living conditions and the intense battles brought great mental stress, so having fun in time became the norm for pirates. They were mad and hedonistic, and once they had plundered, and when they reached the port, the pirates squandered their money at every place of entertainment, using the best gold and silver cutlery, drinking the strongest rum and whiskey, and playing with the most seductive girls.

Like all desperate people, pirates live day by day and do whatever it takes to have fun. It's not just the ordinary pirates who believe in this principle of life, but also their leaders.

It's like Blackbeard once said: "Honest labor is always rewarded with hard work and poverty." The life of a pirate brings abundance, fulfillment, happiness, ease, freedom and power. Of all the risks of doing this business, the worst is to frown and close your eyes, what can't be balanced? That's why my motto is: Life is short, but you have to be happy! ”

Therefore, there is only one thing that can unite the whole ship: squander all the money you have stolen quickly, and then go out to sea in search of new prey, and find a place to squander, and go out to sea......

And so on and so forth, until he ended his life for various reasons, which is the life of a pirate.

No one would hide a cave full of gold without squandering it like Barbossa and his sailors. Of course, even Barbossa's group didn't want to indulge in profligacy, but because of the curse, they couldn't feel any pleasure, so they could only save money and wait for the curse to be lifted before using it.

Then came the scene of the distribution of the spoils, and everyone held the handle of the knife in their hands, carefully staring at every gold ingot, every gem, for fear that others would take more.

Of course, what they are most afraid of is that one accidentally falls under the plot of others.

This kind of thing is very common among pirates, two groups of pirates commanded, agreed to go together to rob a certain port or merchant ship, after the deed is done, a group of people come to the stew, roll up all the goods and ships and run away. Even when the power is superior, it is already the norm in the Caribbean.

While the chiefs were dividing the spoils in the treasury, the pirates outside were not idle, and they scavenged the fortress in an orderly manner for everything they could take with them, belongings, weapons, ammunition, movable ornaments, and finally the clothes on the corpses of the navy.

Not to mention the fresh food and liquor that is stored in a variety of bright and dark corners.

The pirates were divided in an orderly manner, and each group took his share.

Of course, it is also possible that you find that you really can't help other people, in short, there are no surprises in the distribution of spoils.

Summoned his men to carry the chests full of treasure back to the ship, and then each chose a route and left.

No one would be stupid enough to return straight to Nassau from here. First, if you go this way, you will definitely encounter a naval warship that has come to receive the gold. The second is that before returning to a place where you can splurge your money, there will always be some captains who will first go and bury some treasures.

As far as Wang Hao knows, Blackbeard Tiqi has this habit. Whenever he looted a treasure and needed to be buried, he took a sailor with him.

However, he would not tolerate the poor sailor divulging the secrets of his treasure. Whenever halfway through, Titch would often attack and kill the sailor from behind, burying his body along with the treasure.

Fortunately, there was no need for Wang Hao to do this, not because he was soft-hearted, but because he was much stronger than Blackbeard, and he could carry the entire box of treasures to the location where he wanted to bury them.

A week after the pirates had successfully looted, the navy, which had arrived from Havana to receive the gold, was only to see a ruined wall and an empty fortress.

Port Royal ......

Colonel Norrington is now in the spring breeze, and the promotion order issued by the queen has been in his hands. From now on, everyone should call themselves 'Brigadier General Norrington'.

But this is not the thing that makes him the happiest, the happiest thing is that Governor Swan has recently told him many times in the open and secret that he wants to marry Elizabeth to himself.

With the support of Governor Swan, and the relationship he and Elizabeth have cultivated over the years, I believe that as long as she opens her mouth to propose, Elizabeth will definitely not refuse her.

Brigadier General Norrington was ready to formally propose to Elizabeth on the day of his inauguration, in the presence of all the guests.

Brigadier General Norrington secretly practiced for a long time because of this.

On this day, Mr. Brigadier General was practicing silently in front of the mirror again, and the adjutant knocked on his door: "Sorry to disturb the Brigadier General." ”

Although he felt very uncomfortable being disturbed, Norrington simply cleaned up and said, "Come in." ”

The adjutant entered the house, saluted, and said, "Brigadier General, we have received a mail addressed to you. ”

"Oh? What about mail? Why don't you bring it in for me? Norrington noticed that the adjutant was not holding the letter in his hand.

The adjutant stopped talking: "Hmm...... We couldn't be sure what it contained, and we didn't dare to open it at will, so we had to come and report to you first. ”

Norrington asked, "Didn't the people who sent it know either?" ”

The adjutant replied: "It has been found out, the mail was delivered by coolies from several ports, they only took people's money and goods to deliver the goods, and the rest is not clear." ”

"Okay, take me to see it." This question successfully aroused Norrington's curiosity, and he decided to go and see it for himself.

In front of the Royal Navy's office building, there was a huge wooden box, and several naval soldiers raised their guns against the wooden box, for fear that some monster would jump out of it.

"Someone, open the box!" Norrington walked around the box a few times, and couldn't think of anyone who would give him such a thing, so he ordered the box to be opened directly to see what was inside.

Several navy officers rushed up with crowbars, and after a while, the entire wooden box was dismantled.

However, the imaginary danger did not materialize, and there were no dangerous creatures or objects in the wooden box, only a large pile of English letters carved out of wood.

Probably because the recipient is afraid that they will not be able to put together the letters according to their own meaning, each letter is thoughtfully marked with numbers representing the order.

However, when Norrington saw the patchwork words, he choked on a mouthful of old blood in his heart, his face instantly turned red, his teeth squeaked, and his clenched fists trembled.

"Wang Hao! Wait, one day I'll catch you with my own hands! Brigadier General Norrington squeezed the sentence out of his teeth almost word by word.

HMS Interceptor, these are the two English words that come out in the end.

HMS is short for Her Majesty's Ship, which stands for the Queen's Ship and can also be translated as Royal Navy.

Interceptor means interception.

The combination of the two is the HMS Royal Navy Interceptor.

A former Royal Navy warship captured by Wang Hao and then drove it to make waves in the Caribbean Sea.

These letters were originally inlaid on the stern of the 'Interceptor', but after being captured by Wang Hao and renamed 'Equality', these letters were cut off and kept forever, and when the time is ripe, they can be used as gifts to Mr. Norrington.
