Reborn As a Pirate

The war is over.

As a repertoire of war, the victors, while enjoying the joy of triumph, are also ready for a new round of power changes.

Lorraine did it grandly.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the trial, he made two suggestions consecutively in affirmative language.

The first is that Hierro will preside over the post-war Anglo-French negotiations, and the second is to choose Plymouth, the registered port of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, as the destination for the triumphant return.

He frankly challenged the Roy Chamber of Commerce, while Longsa chose to avoid the battle, and did not raise any objection to Lorraine's proposal from the beginning to the end.

So far, the Three Chambers of Commerce has replaced the Roy Chamber of Commerce and officially become the absolute talker of England's offshore business district.

On December 19th, the staggering Reindeer dragged the Panthera, which had lost its main mast, and appeared in the bay of Purcell. Behind them was the broken Red-haired Sultan, and behind them was an endlessly wounded ship.

The major guilds who knew in advance prepared a heroic welcome ceremony for them.

The sailors who came ashore wore garlands and excitedly spread the battle throughout the streets and alleys. Lorraine's name appeared in people's ears again. He was brave, decisive, and turned the tide. He almost single-handedly demonstrated the dignity of England. .

Overnight, he became famous and everyone knew him.

This large-scale decisive battle was spread to Shaq's office after rounds of beautification. Shaq listened with his chin resting, and suddenly asked Bell curiously: "Lorraine is willing to be a bait...do you believe this nonsense?"

Bell shrugged indifferently: "Student Drake has always been very courageous. With his usual style, it is not surprising that he took the initiative to be the bait."

"Is it?"

"Actually, I'm even more curious about how he not only discovered the raid on the main fleet in time outside his field of vision, but also completed the adjustments to his subordinates in the shortest possible time without any mistakes and without wasting a minute or a second." .”

"Probably... this was in his plan." Shaq sighed comfortably, "Is the Lion ready?"

"The ocean trials have all passed. According to the plan, the sailors will board the ship after Christmas and sail to the New World under your leadership." Bell blinked, "Captain, Sir Peter Parker sent a message from Kingston, Said that I look forward to meeting you."

"I am also looking forward to meeting this new boss. I have been transferred away for a few years, and I don't know what the New World has become now..."

...

Coincidentally, at the Drake General Chamber of Commerce in Southampton, Lorraine also chanted similar words to Shaq.

Today is Christmas, believers of God gather in the church to listen to the priest's instructions, while pagans like him can only squat bored in the room, looking at the charts that they have already mastered by heart, imagining the vast world Ocean and brand new adventures.

On the 6th day after returning to Hong Kong, the Alliance of the Three Chambers of Commerce was busier than before the war.

The Drake Chamber, the Minder Chamber, and the Sackling Chamber all moved their headquarters.

They simply moved together.

The new headquarters is still in Southampton. In Mayflower Park not far from West Pier, the three chambers of commerce are located next to each other, and each purchased a beautiful small white building.

There are snow-white powder walls and red spires, more rooms, spacious and bright, and their own clean front yards, as well as a backyard shared by the three families, which is vast enough to be used for horse racing.

This kind of one-hearted attitude is both enviable and jealous.

In addition, the Offshore Association has also conducted a new round of director elections.

The Drake Chamber of Commerce was unanimously approved as the permanent director of the guild, and Hierro easily defeated John Roy in the subsequent re-election of the president, and was elected as the new president of the guild with a high number of votes.

After being elected as the chairman, Hierro officially took over the negotiations between Britain and France, and quickly finalized the time and place of the negotiations.

January 4, 1779

The post-war negotiations will begin in Southampton's town hall auditorium, with representatives from the Dutch, Spanish, Prussian and Portuguese chambers of commerce as witnesses.

The six countries also intend to hold a grand event together, and are preparing to set up a salon on the Cantabrian new order after this negotiation, so that they can conduct friendly consultations at any time and prevent the commercial war from developing into an uncontrollable bloody battle again.

As for Lorraine...

After the election of the Offshore Guild, he was free.

The repair and replacement of the Reindeer was handled by Karen, and Carmen and Ramos were also involved in the follow-up negotiations.

He put all his attention on the next step of the Chamber of Commerce's development, and for this reason, he even took time to go to the sea school to seek advice from his mentor, Sir Billy Layton.

Jazz's thoughts are the same as his, and the most suitable sea area for the Drake Chamber of Commerce is in the New World.

The biggest advantage of privateering merchants lies in legal plundering. As long as they can win for a long time, the chamber of commerce can grow at an unparalleled speed.

Patriarch Francis of Lorraine is a perfect example.

It only took him 10 years to grow from an unknown bankrupt businessman to a feared privateer admiral.

At its peak, the Drake family's private fleet occupied half of the Royal Navy and played an irreplaceable role in defeating the Spaniards.

Lorraine's own experience also proves this point.

Although the Cantabrian battle was a war provoked by the French, it was precisely because of this months-long privateering war that Lorraine was able to easily establish a Northwest Europe branch with a strong lineup and sufficient capacity. The subsequent development has laid a solid foundation.

He already has the best consumer market in the world, and the next step is to develop stable, cheap, and high-quality goods of origin, that is, the Americas, Africa, or Asia.

Considering that the privateer's plundering authorization only falls on the enemies of the kingdom, if Lorraine does not want to become the unlucky Captain Kidd, the best choice right now is undoubtedly the New World where fierce battles are raging and enemies are everywhere.

The meeting with his mentor benefited Lorraine a lot, and when he returned to Southampton, he immediately announced a series of decisions.

The Reindeer with powerful firepower was designated as the new flagship.

Relying on the name of her ancestor Francis, Lorraine renamed her the Golden Deer, and asked Karen to urge the Virea Dock in Port of Sale to repair it day and night, ensuring that all repairs will be completed in early January and officially delivered to the Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the Golden Deer, the Butterfly, Cattail, Clover, and Hyacinth were all delegated to the Northwest Europe Branch, and Lorraine's membership in the Offshore Guild was also entrusted to Ramos to continue to consolidate Northwest Europe. trade market.

Facing the unfamiliar sea area and the world-famous legend of Pirates of the Caribbean, Lorraine did not dare to slack off, and was full of endless expectations.

The Caribbean, palm trees, blue sea, silver sand, the flying pirate flag, and the hot and turbulent sea area blowing salty sea breeze...

He caressed the chart left by Naspert, muttering to himself in his fantasy.

"The North Sea is too small, like a fish tank. It's not big enough to accommodate the huge size of a whale, let alone the endless desires of a whaler."

"The War of Independence in North America?"

"The turbulent Caribbean, Lorraine Drake... is here."
