Chapter 101 Sailing and Transformation Completed
There are fifteen candidates who are about to participate in this battle, except Jiang Hai. However, there are only five people who can obtain first-level privateer certificates in the end.
Two peaches kill three soldiers, which is an ancient, classic and practical strategy.
Perhaps due to the forces in the war paradise, in the absence of direct conflict of interest, the other selected people would not violate the meaning of the three women of Thorns. But now that Jiang Hai released the news of the first-level privateer certificate, the situation is different.
According to the domineering and arrogant urination of the three women with Thorn Rose, they must have three. The remaining two are definitely not enough for others to share.
The remaining candidates will definitely join forces with each other to fight against the thorny roses.
With conflicts and conflicts, there is a place to operate. Anyway, Jiang Hai, the "unlucky guy" who has served as the bait task, has obtained a first-level privateer certificate, but in the eyes of these people, it is a weak person who can pinch flat and round at any time, and is not a priority target.
"Okay, you can discuss it slowly, I'll say goodbye." Jiang Hai smiled slightly, left the conference hall calmly, leaving a group of candidates with big eyes.
The days of combat readiness were fleeting, and the fleet organized by the British East India Company finally set off from the Port of Calicat.
In the past few days, the candidates were not idle, and their base space was running at full capacity. When they set out, the number of ships increased by six more, including two second-level battleships, one third-level battleship, and three fourth-level cruise ships.
The two most powerful second-class battleships among them are both thorny roses. Moreover, the wood used to build the battleships was the nano-wood that Jiang Hai had liked at the time, but was bought by thorny roses. There is no doubt that they are the strongest group among these candidates.
In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Hai has done nothing these days. On the day he set sail, he still had only a sixth-class cruise ship "Punjab".
As bait, the Punjab of the Yangtze River and Sea left the port in an early manner. In order to make it true and credible, the ship was loaded with ballast and drizzled very deep. In the eyes of experienced pirates, this must be as tempting as a roasted suckling pig with crispy and oily oil.
After a few days of sailing.
"Commander, the Andaman Islands are coming!"
On this day, Jiang Hai was studying the treasure map obtained from the bar girl Wen Nai in the captain's room, and suddenly received a report from his subordinates.
This island group, located between the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, has more than 200 islands of different sizes. Because it is close to the Strait of Malacca, it is a natural hiding place for pirates to live in.
"Continue to act according to the plan." Jiang Hai ordered calmly, and then continued to study the treasure map.
It is a coincidence that the map depicted in this treasure map is exactly the area of the Southern Andaman Islands. This provides more guarantees for Jianghai to implement its own plans.
Apart from those pirates, Jiang Hai is much more familiar with the terrain here than the group of people from the East India Company.
After sailing for about half an hour, the lookout table finally came to report and found eleven unknown armed ships ahead. Not long after, the ships raised the pirate flag.
"Finally come!"
Jiang Hai immediately ordered his subordinates to transmit signals.
The main fleet of the East India Company was now located eight miles away from the Punjab in the river and sea, and was slowly sailing towards this side along the floating objects thrown by the river and sea.
Since it was a windy ride at this time, the fleet speed reached 11 knots, which took about 40 minutes to get here.
At this time, the eleven pirate ships belonging to Southeast Asian pirate Wang Shaofeng, which were flying towards the rivers and seas, were all Chinese sailing ships.
One of the biggest differences between Chinese sailing boats and Western sailing boats is sailing.
The sails of Chinese sailboats are hard sails made of bamboo strips or catkin leaves. Since they can rotate around the mast, the comprehensive utilization rate of wind is very high. The disadvantage is that the sails are heavier, not only do many sailors need to operate, but also because of the strength of the mast, the sail cannot be made too large. The soft sails of Western sailboats have very low utilization rate of wind, so in order to increase the speed, the sail surface has to be increased. This also causes Western sailboats to have a larger sailing surface when sailing downwind, because the sail surface is large, so Western sailboats have more speed advantages over Chinese sailboats.
Although Shao Feng's pirate ship is closer to Punjab, they are in a headwind at this time and will not arrive at Punjab too long before their opponents are in advance. In addition, the time required to rob, it is enough for the East India Company fleet to arrange its encirclement pockets.
"Tom, prepare the lifeboat, and then light up all the lights on the boat. Get ready to abandon the boat!" Jiang Hai ordered his naval officer.
The naval officers who spent 10 points of leadership recruitment in Jianghai immediately started to act, with extremely high efficiency. However, Jianghai took out a small glass bottle and walked to the deck of the bow of the ship.
In this delicate little bottle, there was a thick black smoke like ink and lead clouds.
"The fog of darkness in the bottle."
“Rarity: Normal (white).”
"Type: Consumable props (can be used once more)."
"Opening the bottle will create a black mist that blocks your vision within a radius of twenty kilometers."
"Explanation: You can't see anything!"
This black fog from the world cemetery forces of "Invincible Heroes" is an excellent prop for creating the fog of war and is suitable for use in the rivers and seas at this time.
Of course, he would not be foolish and obedient after being chosen as bait. The Punjab was seized just to meet Lord Becket's conditions, and Jiang Hai never thought of using this small boat to fight.
After using the dark fog, the sea area was immediately shrouded in black mist that was as thick as it was, and the sunlight was completely blocked, as if it had suddenly entered the night from daytime.
Fortunately, Jianghai only used a small bottle of dark fog, and the concentration was not enough to reach the level of not being able to see the five fingers. He deliberately ordered the lights on the ship to let both the Pirates and the East India Company see clearly where the Punjab was.
Jiang Hai and the one hundred sailors under his command boarded the lifeboat and quickly left quietly, leaving only the empty Punjab.
Not long after, Jianghai embarked on the long-lost windward.
The transformation of this sailboat was actually completed a few days ago. However, after Jianghai quietly deployed it at night, he ordered a newly recruited naval officer to lead the Wind to set out in advance, lurking on an uninhabited island in the South Andaman Islands. Then, today, taking advantage of the cover of thick fog, he was ordered to pick up Jianghai who left the Punjab.
