On the splint, Captain Petra looked into the distance with a sad and gloomy look, seemingly lost in thought.

He has never been so nervous after twenty years of crawling on the sea. Even after being robbed by pirates, Petra was not nervous now.

There is no way, who let him take a business that should not be taken?

In fact, Petra also knew that the business was risky. Boating at night this year is very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, no one will ask to leave Hong Kong overnight.

But there are surprises in everything. For the pound, Petra still doesn't mind taking risks.

In his consciousness, it was nothing more than taking a few people to leave. Similar things have been done many times.

It's just that under normal circumstances, smuggling from outside into Britain is very rare.

For Petra, these are minor issues. As long as the money is enough, everything is easy to discuss.

Everything went well in the preceding situation, and it was not until these special customers boarded the ship that Petra realized that something was wrong.

After so many years in the sea, Petra is also very knowledgeable. No matter how disguised Vittorio Emanuele III disguised himself, his temperament could not deceive people.

With many years of experience, Petra judged at a glance that the identity of this group of people was unusual and definitely a big man.

The problem is that the Fulda is just a normal cargo ship, and it has no comfort at all.

Unless it is a time of crisis, the big guys will not choose this apparently disregarded way of travel even if they are down again.

No one wants to take this business, which means great trouble. Before Captain Petra repented, he was warned.

Send the person to the Netherlands according to the agreement, and double the commission income; if there is any accident on the road, the whole family will go to hell.

Rejection is impossible. The whole family is stared at, and Petra can only expect God to bless him, and the road is smooth.

...

While Petra was in deep contemplation, the two warships were chasing up from a distance, no more than 20 nautical miles away.

The experienced first officer reminded: "Captain, the situation is a bit wrong. The next two warships seem to be staring at us."

Hearing the first officer's words, Petra went straight to the observation room without saying anything, and took the telescope and looked back.

Sure enough, two warships appeared on the horizon, approaching the Fulda.

Because of the distance, Petra cannot yet determine which warship it is. But the gradually shortened distance told Petra that the visitor was not good.

"At the present speed, after a maximum of six hours, the next two warships will catch up.

The subpoena continues to accelerate and we must arrive in the Netherlands as soon as possible. After completing this single task, all income increased by half. "

The first officer's hearty answer: "No problem, Captain."

Everyone risked their lives to go to sea to beg for life, and what they seek is wealth. As long as the money is enough, everything is easy to discuss.

However, Captain Petra is not so optimistic. With years of sailing experience, it can be determined that the closest port of the Fulda to the Netherlands is more than one hundred nautical miles.

Under normal driving conditions, the warship is not much faster than the cargo ship, but the speed limit of the warship is high. If it advances at full speed, it can run twice as fast as the ship.

Of course, steamships this year still have to be limited by power. Although the warship runs fast, once it is fully advanced at full speed, it will definitely have a major repair afterwards, and it may even be scrapped.

Unless it is a very important thing, in general, the Navy is not so luxurious.

...

The movement on the ship alarmed Vittorio Emanuele III in the cabin.

"What's going on, is it because of pirates?"

For safety reasons, when Vittorio Emanuele III left, he also arranged for several cargo ships to leave the port at the same time.

In theory, as long as there was no exposure that night. Inconvenient communication this year, even if the British government found him missing the next day and ordered the Royal Navy to pursue it, it was not so fast.

Waiting for someone to answer, Captain Petra broke in.

"Sorry, I have bad news. I have to disturb you.

The situation is very critical now, and two warships are catching up, less than 20 nautical miles from us.

I have ordered an acceleration, but the Fulda is just an ordinary freighter. Even if it has been modified, it still cannot run the warship.

For the safety of everyone's lives, I hope you can open your heart and make things clear so that you can make a decision. "

Hearing the warship chase up, Vittorio Emanuele III's face changed greatly, and he sighed helplessly.

Thinking of his heavy responsibility, Vittorio Emanuele III forced himself to calm down and said slowly, "Master Captain, is there still a lot of cargo on the Fulda?"

Captain Petra nodded, and the cargo ship was definitely going to ship the goods, and there was no doubt at all.

After receiving a positive response, Vittorio Emanuele III: "Very well, now all the commodities and debris are thrown into the sea except for retaining the necessary coal.

Including bed sheets and quilts, personal items, weapons and ammunition, food and water only retain a half-day share, and do everything possible to reduce weight. "

Vittorio Emanuele III's understatement, stunned Captain Petra, then exclaimed: "This is impossible! I will lose the goods if I lose these goods!"

It's not an exaggeration. With Petra's net worth, he lost this cargo and had no choice but to go bankrupt.

Vittorio Emanuele III smiled slightly, pretending to say nothing, "Don't worry, I will bear all the losses, including the employer's dissatisfaction, someone will solve it for you.

Now, what you have to do is throw away these unnecessary things, find a way to speed up the boat and get rid of the chasing soldiers behind. "

Compensation?

Vittorio Emanuele III admits that he is a poor ghost, even the poorest royal family in Europe.

The generous family left behind by the original ancestors had already been tossed almost because of the desire to restore the country.

In order to maintain a decent life, Vittorio Emanuele III has long been in debt. The so-called indemnity is totally a short check.

But no matter how poor he was, he couldn't show his cowardice. In any case, first arrive in the Netherlands and talk about whether to pay compensation.

After pondering for a moment, Captain Petra shook his head: "It still doesn't work. Even if all the cargo on the ship is discarded, the speed will increase by at most two knots. We still cannot win the warship.

Do n’t forget, there are artillery on the warships, they can attack from a distance, and the small body of the Fulda ca n’t stand the toss. "

It doesn't matter if money is money or not, the key is life. Civilized law enforcement is not popular this year. The navy's favorite is to speak with shells.

Vittorio Emanuele III frowned, and asked with concern: "Is the British warship chasing the British or French?"

Captain Petra rolled his eyes and replied in a very exaggerated tone: "It's not certain for the time being. But the warship we came from London and came to pursue should be British.

Did you offend the French government?

God, I'm really unlucky! This kind of thing can be encountered, it is simply terrible ... "

Vittorio Emanuele III waved his hand: "Lord Captain, don't be so pessimistic. If they are British warships, they dare not shoot.

I think you might as well waste your time here to clear the warehouse quickly, at least we are more likely to escape.

Otherwise, everyone will fall into the hands of the British, I will be fine, but you will die. Believe me, they will hang you. "

The princes are not capable of ordinary people, although the gold content of the throne on the head of Vittorio Emanuele III is somewhat low, but the king is the king.

Under the European political system, killing a king is a felony.

Vittorio Emanuele III can be sure that the British were very dissatisfied with his running, but he was not dissatisfied to the point of killing him.

The British government can't bear the crime of killing the king, and the Royal Navy also can't bear the crime of killing the king.

In contrast, the French are hard to say. The two sides are already enemies, and Vittorio Emanuele III has no confidence in the morality of the Bonaparte dynasty.

Moreover, Vittorio Emanuele III ran out of London. As long as the French have thick skin, they can not admit it, and then throw the pot to the British.

Captain Petra's face sank, and after a moment of hard work: "Okay, you won. But, sir, it is best to give me a satisfactory account, or everyone will be shot twice."

Compromise, this is no way. Petra hasn't lived enough yet and is not going to die.

After pondering for a while, Vittorio Emanuele III said slowly, "Relax, the reward afterwards will definitely make you satisfied.

If you perform better, even if you are given a knighthood, it is not impossible. "

The noble titles are very valuable in Europe, but also very cheap. At least now the title of the kingdom of Sardinia is not valuable.

In London, Vittorio Emanuele III sold the title more than once in order to raise funds for the restoration of the country.

From the prince to the knight. As long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

For Vittorio Emanuele III, the knighthood was the cheapest asset and was completely worthless until the success of the reinstatement.

Even if the restoration of the country is successful, the gold content of the title of the kingdom of Sardinia will be greatly reduced. After all, it is a knight bought with money, don't expect the aristocratic world to recognize it.

Captain Petra is not stupid. There are a lot of powers in Britain, but those who can get the knighthood as compensation are actually some royal families in exile.

Reminiscent of the current situation, the identity of Vittorio Emanuele III has actually been exposed.

I know it, but Captain Petra ’s EQ is not low, forcibly suppressing the urge.

This kind of time is not a good time to reveal your identity, and no monarch wants to be seen at its worst.

"I have no problem, I will do it immediately!"

Having said that, after glancing at Vittorio Emanuele III, Petra retreated.

Wealth, wealth, and insurance are common in China and abroad. Captain Petra has been drifting on the sea for more than two decades and has long been tired of this life.

It's just that I didn't have the opportunity to transform and had to continue. Now the opportunity is coming, although Vittorio Emanuele III looks dismal, but can't stand the noble birth!

Judging from the current situation, the chances of the restoration of the Kingdom of Sardinia are similar to those of the anti-French alliance to win the war.

Judging from past experience, Captain Petra believes that the winning odds of the warring parties are five or five. Now going to Vittorio Emanuele III is a gamble in life.

It stands to reason that Captain Petra in the middle of the New Year should not like gambling, but the problem is that he cannot rely on other dignitaries!

The royal family and big nobles in all European countries have a lot of officials. Who will be full and supportive, and do n’t need someone who knows the roots, and run to reuse a guy of unknown origin?

Don't look at the current public opinion, it is becoming more and more unfavorable for the noble groups, but it is the nobles who have the most power.

Even the most bullish capitalists are striving to become members of the noble group, and Petra is no exception.

...

Seeing a box of commodities being thrown into the sea, Captain Petra continued to bleed deep inside, and now all he lost was money.

Although Vittorio Emanuele III promised compensation, it is still unknown whether it can be honored.

After all, this king is really too poor, and the following War of Restoration will cost a lot of money.

Even if the restoration is successful, there will still be many years of hardship in the future.

It ’s okay if you do n’t go to the past. The one who needs money needs money, and the king ca n’t owe money. But if you want to go to the past to achieve a retrograde life, Petra can't make the boss embarrassed.

The distressed time did not last long, and the warship behind him suddenly accelerated, 15 nautical miles, 10 nautical miles, 5 nautical miles ...

The distance between the two sides is constantly being shortened, and the cruel reality has made Captain Petra no longer care about it.

The first officer said anxiously, "Your Excellency Captain, the Englishman in the back uttered a slogan, let us stop the ship for inspection, or fire the gun."

That's the Royal Navy. Those who have been on the sea this year know that the most unprovokable thing in the world is the British Royal Navy.

In ordinary times, when you meet, you can hide and hide, and avoid close contact as much as possible.

The reason is naturally due to the reputation of the Royal Navy as "stolen and official". Even if this is a British ship, the Royal Navy is encountered at sea, everyone is still worried.

In particular, Captain Petra also ordered all the goods to be discarded, and the uneasiness in everyone's hearts became even stronger.

Petra forced to endure discomfort and said: "Responding to them, this is the high seas, not under British jurisdiction, they have no right to check."

The first officer said with a trembling voice: "Can the captain do this? In case they really fired, then we're done.

Otherwise, stop the boat for inspection, anyway, there is nothing on the boat, it is worth them ... "

"They came towards me, but it's not important anymore. Send a banner to tell them, if you want to kill Jun, just shoot!"

The sudden sound startled the two and jumped. I don't know when Vittorio Emanuele III appeared behind them.

Seeing Vittorio Emanuele III confirming his identity, Captain Petra hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why are you here? It's not safe here, you should go back to the cabin!"
