"Prepare solid ammunition!"

"There are all the guns, three rounds are fired rapidly. Once the round is ready, let it go!"

Boom boom boom!

The sudden thunder shattered the tranquility of the night. Dozens of dark red morning stars rose from the East Rock of Muscat Bay, whizzed and slid across the night sky, heading towards the vast and sunken coastal sea.

This wave of meteors has not yet landed, the second thunder, the second round of stars, the sky is red with red light, flashing into one end of the moon, and then coming out from the other end, whirling and smashing to the ground.

boom!

The first roar, followed by the second, third, and tens of hundreds, waves of countless meteors crashed in, fishing boats buckled, buildings collapsed, screams overwhelmed the roar of cannons, and the flames Emerging from the dark abyss.

The fire spread rapidly, from the ground to the sea, from the port area to the pier, half of the sky was reflected in red, presenting the gorgeous misery to all the spectators.

The guests on the Valkyrie opened their mouths wide open.

Mr Melidori of Holland felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

Obviously... it's just some kind of fire that civilization spreads to the barbaric wilderness, and the goodness of God and the beauty of human nature are entrusted in it, why... is it so thrilling?

He felt oppressed and suffocated. He breathed heavily like he was about to drown, raised his arms tremblingly, and swayed between the pier and Dongyan.

"Mr. Drake, those..."

"Those who try to use naval guns against coastal guns are either crazy or idiots. I have nothing to do with either. If I want to regain my reputation in Muscat, I will naturally find another way."

"But Dongyan... I remember Dongyan..."

"It is the impenetrable Milani castle." Mr. Ilich of France solemnly added, "My friends in the navy call it a hedgehog, lying on a cliff that is out of reach of all naval guns, and only a path wide for two people leads to the sea , Even the marines are helpless!"

But Drake captured...

This is a sentence that no one said, but it sounded in everyone's heart at the same time.

Against the backdrop of this sentence,

The horrors of the Gulf suddenly became mundane as the mystery drew more attention.

Lorraine spread her hands innocently: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, there are no secrets, no miracles. Milani may be an impenetrable castle for soldiers, but I am a businessman, and a cup of black tea is worth as much at the right time." Tons of shells, more accurate and more deadly."

Emmons, who was silent all night, suddenly sneered in the corner: "So you treat the Omanis in Milani to a cup of tea, and they donate their castle and allow you to sprinkle tons of flower bombs on their capital and burn them to death. Their nationals?"

"Whether you believe it or not, this is also where I was surprised."

Lorraine turned around and looked at the burning bonfire on the other side of the sea.

"My marines brought ten land cannons. Because of the disgusting civilian list restrictions, they are all antique light cannons that were eliminated in the last Anglo-French war. Of course, the stability of sea ships cannot transport explosive ammunition."

"Milani has thirty cannons, and the older shore cannons, which were left behind when the Portuguese were driven out of Muscat, obviously couldn't shoulder the heavy responsibility of firing explosive shells, even if they had prepared such guns in the castle. Terrible ammunition."

"With a shooting distance of 2 to 3 kilometers and a temperature of more than ten degrees Celsius, can a solid bullet cause a fire? Yes. Can it burn the entire impact area so efficiently? It stands to reason..."

boom!

A loud noise interrupted Lorraine's self-defense. In front of their eyes, a huge coastal fort made of more than ten tons of mountain rocks flew high into the sky. Clothes, smashed half of the street.

All is silent...

Lorraine slammed his fist on the palm of his hand, his expression full of joy and relief.

"Remember, when the second prince Sultan was released earlier, I told him that I would use the captured warships and merchant ships as the forerunners to forcefully land and capture the pier."

"Actually, how is it possible? There are eight Greek guns with a range of up to 50 meters on the coastal battery. Even if Valkyrie is invulnerable, as a wooden boat, she is also afraid of fire."

...

Greek fire, a primitive fire-throwing device invented in the seventh century AD, using petroleum crude oil as the main fuel.

It was once the nightmare of the Arabs. At sea and on land, this terrible flame that sprayed from the brass pipe and could be attached to anything burned countless times broke the Arab world's attack on Constantinople.

In 717 AD, Caliph Omar II of Arabia launched an army of 100,000 and 2,560 warships to encircle Constantinople. The siege lasted for eight months. The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo III met with the Greek fire fleet and destroyed the Caliph's fleet in one fell swoop by virtue of the spring wind. Only five warships escaped the disaster.

That battle completely ignited the reputation of Greek fire, and Europe influenced by Rome until the Second Anglo-Dutch War in the 17th century still regarded arson ships as the standard configuration in the fleet.

Everyone knows the threat of flames to ships, but no one would have thought that Lorraine would be so deliberate. Long before the blockade of the Muscat Gulf, he had already used this natural enemy-like restraint to lure the Sultanate to settle down at the wharf. Lots of oil.

It is true that he does not have explosive ammunition, but how can the fuel stored in the eight-door oil pump with a jet arc of 50 meters be comparable to tens of thousands of small explosive ammunition?

Heretics... are indeed devils to the letter!

The VIPs looked at Lorraine with horrified eyes, and Lorraine looked back at them with an apologetic expression, like a noble gentleman mourning the loss of innocent lives in flames because he failed to abide by the suicide attack.

"If only I kept my word," Lorraine's eyes seemed to say.

The time of the stalemate was slightly beyond the limit. Lorraine did not expect that the gentlemen in Africa would have a comfortable and innocent side, so he could only take the initiative to break the deadlock.

"Gentlemen, peace." He raised the topic to the sky at once. "A businessman is not an executioner, and I am not an executioner. In fact, long before the board of directors decided to launch this war, I had already begun to rehearse peace in my heart."

"How is peace achieved? In what manner? By whom? When?"

"Drake has a plan for this war. Because it is a business, an ordinary one among our many businesses, it is neither the one that invests the most capital, nor the most energy, nor the most time. "

"It may be deciding the life or death of a country, but that has nothing to do with Drake. Whether it makes the country live or die, that has nothing to do with Drake. We have always had only one criterion for judging, and that is profit."

Lorraine clapped her hands lightly, and several sailors came out of the cabin, holding a delicate new suitcase with a combination lock.

Sharon went over to open them, and took out stacks of beautifully bound documents from them, and handed the ones with the clover stamp to the observers of the Friendly Chamber of Commerce, and the ones with the Scottish plaid to the hands of Manager Baker and Emmons superior.

Lorraine patted Manager Baker's hand lightly, and made a silent gesture without a trace.

"Gentlemen, this is Drake's treaty for this peace, the "Muscat Covenant for Building and Prosperity", which includes a main text and three appendices. They have a common party, Muscat The Sultanate, the second party of the main text is the Drake Chamber of Commerce, and the content is my reasonable appeal for this peace. The appendix belongs to the Peroli Chamber of Commerce in Rabat in Spain, the Rotaseli Chamber of Commerce in Dakar in France and The Ibasta Chamber of Commerce in Swellendam, the Netherlands, is the Chamber of Commerce that you represent."

"What?!"

The three observers were shocked, not only because of the alliance under the city that was drafted without even seeing the city of Lorraine, but also because they actually existed in this alliance under the city.

At this time, Carmen stood up with a smile, and gently opened the text for the three of them, until they reached the accompanying page corresponding to them.

"If you know anything about Drake's development in the Caribbean, you will know that benefit sharing is the principle that Drake has always adhered to." She said softly, "Muscat is a feast, Drake Neither has the ability to swallow an elephant, nor the willingness to enjoy delicious food."

"We prefer to regard this war as a dance party to make friends, and the appendix is ​​an invitation, and it is up to you to decide whether to participate or not."

Mr. Melidori from the Netherlands felt that he hadn't closed his mouth tonight. He stammered and asked, "But...but we need a dress and a carriage to attend the ball, and we may not have time to prepare at all..."

"45 days." Lorraine spit out a number, "This is the length of time I planned to bombard Muscat."

"Sunflower is the fastest brig of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, with a speed of 18 knots. You take her, it takes 7 days to travel from here to Swellendam, 15 days to Dakar, and 16 days to Rabat. This means Since you have enough time to persuade the board of directors to buy dresses and carriages, the only thing standing in the way of your opening toast is your will."

"Please ask yourselves, gentlemen." Carmen whispered in front of the three observers like a little devil, "The deck of the Sunflower is already on the starboard side of the Valkyrie, step on it, and Drake has the real African friends of..."
