Our island owner is always playing dead

Chapter 65 The Second Battle

Finally, when the princes and dukes lowered their voices, Sorel found an opportunity to say: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, I can't sell this telescope, because it was given to me by our king, and it was given to you by your king." Things, you will not sell them to others at will, do you think so?"

Such a reason really makes people unable to refute it.

So someone asked: "May I ask how many telescopes your Majesty the King has made? Can you sell them to us? We are willing to pay for it."

Soler had long anticipated the popularity of the telescope.However, His Majesty the King did not say that it could be sold, nor could he sell all the telescopes on his own initiative.

So Soler said: "Please rest assured, I will convey your intentions to His Majesty the King. If His Majesty the King allows, of course we are very willing to sell the telescope to you."

After receiving Sorel's promise, everyone felt a little relieved. With Sorel's telescope, they could see the dark clouds in the distance getting closer.

Not long after, the wind gradually picked up, and everyone finally felt that the storm was coming.Therefore, Prince Gather ended the meeting and returned to their respective ships, taking advantage of the moment before the storm to return to the voyage.

Sorel also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing off His Royal Highnesses.Soler is inferior to them in terms of status, and if he offends any of them, it will be of no benefit to him, so he has to be very cautious.After talking with them, Sorel felt a little tired.

However, the transaction of Cinchona was successfully completed, and another twenty boxes of gold coins were earned, and Soler was very happy again.

After Sullivan led three naval ships and escorted Sorel to complete the transaction, he escorted them back to Heat Island. After resting in King's Harbor, he will lead the naval ship to cruise the sea.

According to Ye Limo's words, wherever naval ships go is their territorial waters.Sullivan very much agrees with such domineering words, especially when they come from Ye Limo's mouth.

Words like this spread to the navy and were sought after by everyone.Because everyone hopes to have a strong His Majesty the King, not a weak His Majesty the King.

After the pirates were restructured into the navy, they were not used to it at the beginning, but now they have gradually become accustomed to this kind of life of cruising around the sea. Although they are no longer pirates, they can still move on the sea and continue to live on the sea. Even if other navies see them, they cannot attack at will.Because that will cause the two countries to fight, which is not good for both sides.

Originally, the pirates didn't think the restructuring was a good thing, but when they met the government army, they no longer had to be like a mouse seeing a cat, so they felt the benefits.In Ye Limo's words, as long as they are cruising on the sea according to the rules and do not take the initiative to provoke and attack, if other people attack them, they can fight back with all their strength, and internationally, this is reasonable.

Gradually, they all felt the benefits of being a navy. At least they didn't have to rely on the sky, and they didn't have to think about how to grab two more merchant ships every day, so they could get more treasure.

In fact, sometimes, Sullivan wished that someone would provoke them. In that case, they could train their subordinates for a while.A lot of hands-on kung fu will become rusty if you don't practice it.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the watchmen found five warships heading towards us. The five warships were in a spread formation and seemed to be cruising in the sea. Please give instructions!" Just as Sullivan was playing a gambling game with his subordinates Suddenly, soldiers came to report back.

Sullivan asked, "Are you sure which country's warship it is?"

The orderly replied: "Return to the commander-in-chief, we are not sure yet!"

Sullivan thought for a while and said, "Send the order to the soldiers to be more vigilant. If the other party does not make any threatening actions, we should not act rashly and stay calm. But we must also guard against their sudden attacks."

I have also encountered navies from other countries at sea before, and they usually pass by without incident.

And Sullivan has always kept Ye Limo's words in mind, so even if he sometimes encounters warships from other countries at sea, he is very interested in fighting with them to see how strong he is, but he has never made a move.

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" After listening to Sullivan's words, the orderly ran out immediately to convey Sullivan's order.

Now Sullivan brought out only three naval ships, and the opponent had five naval warships. If they really faced each other head-on, their chances of winning were not very high, so after listening to Sullivan's order, the soldiers kept their Be alert and calm.

The two navies met on the open sea. After Sullivan and the others spotted them, the other side also saw Sullivan's navy ship not long after, but the other side didn't seem as friendly as Sullivan and the others.

"Marshal, the other party looks like a pirate ship, but the ship is not a pirate flag, but the national flag of a certain country." The orderly reported to their chief.

After hearing these words, the marshal just thought about it and said, "Is it really the shape of a pirate ship?"

True Commander.

"In this way, it is very likely that the pirate ship went to sea pretending to be a ship from another country. If it is really a pirate ship, they must not be fooled like this!" The marshal said loudly.

After Sullivan answered the order, he continued to play gambling games with his subordinates.

But this time, before even finishing a round, the orderly rushed in again and reported to Sullivan, "Commander-in-Chief! The other party sent us a semaphore and asked who we are."

Sullivan said impatiently, "Let the flag bearers answer them!"

The messenger said: "Our flag bearer has already responded, saying that we are the Navy of the Heat Island, but the other party does not seem to believe it and asks us to reveal our true identity."

Sullivan was completely out of interest in playing, so he pushed the remaining chips and said, "You guys continue to play, I'll go and have a look."

Sullivan came to the deck with the messengers, and he could see the opposite warship parked not far away. From the visual distance, he could see that the two sides had reached the range of the cannon.

On the other side, under the command of Admiral Frischel, the standard-bearers were still communicating with the other party using semaphore, but the other party seemed to not believe them at all, and it was the Navy who insisted that they were pirates.

"Commander-in-Chief, they saw our ship as a pirate-style ship, so they thought we must be pirates, and they didn't believe we were flying the Heat Island flag," Frischer said.

Sullivan frowned and said, "Is this deliberately finding fault?"

The others couldn't help but nod their heads. Their side had already given a detailed explanation, but the other side refused to believe it at all. They were not trying to find fault, but what were they trying to do?

Frischer asked, "Commander, what should we do now?"

Sullivan frowned and thought for a while and said, "We have to stand still first. If it can be resolved peacefully, that would be the best, but if the other party refuses to let us go, then we will just have a fight with them."

Hearing Sullivan's words, the other soldiers didn't feel scared, but instead became excited, a little eager to fight, because they hadn't had a real fight with someone for a long time.

Frischel leaned into Sullivan's ear and said, "Boss, although you have been emphasizing that we can't do it first, this time is actually a good opportunity for us. Since the establishment of our navy, we have never fought with others. There have been real battles. If we can fight and win, our prestige will be established, and I believe our reputation will spread, and others will be afraid of us."

Sullivan deliberately said: "You are so confident that you will definitely win them?"

Frischel laughed and said, "Boss, don't you know what we think? We used to work hard for ourselves, but now we work hard not only for ourselves, but also for the heat island. I believe our soldiers will be able to fight victorious."

Sullivan said: "Okay! Very good! If this is the case, we should be prepared to deal with it. It seems that today can't be good."

Because the communication did not make any progress, the situation of confrontation between the two sides became more and more tense, and the atmosphere became more and more dignified.

Sullivan looked at the other party's warship through the binoculars, and saw a man in the uniform of a marshal standing on the deck, standing there arrogantly, and he didn't look like a guy with great abilities.

Seeing that such a person was the head of the opposing warship, Sullivan became more confident.

The other party also seems to know that they must not be the first to shoot when the two sides are fighting, so many times they are just provocative and want to arouse Sullivan's anger. able to do it.

At this time, it is time to see who is more patient and able to wait.

Sullivan looked at the opposing warship with a telescope, and his patience was severely tested.

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly broke the tense atmosphere, and the two sides officially started a war. It was like boiling oil was poured with a ladle of cold water, and the pot exploded with a hiss.

Sullivan saw the opposing warship, and a soldier pulled the trigger of the musket and fired the first shot.

After the gunshot, Sullivan immediately gave orders: "Hit me hard!"

With Sullivan's order, the gunners and gunners began to attack each other violently.

The opponent also started to fight back without showing any weakness.All of a sudden, a fierce battle broke out on the calm sea.

The opponent is a naval warship, the equipment is very good, and the soldiers are well-trained.Sullivan's three-on-five here feels a lot of pressure.

However, the navy transformed from pirates has the ruthlessness of pirates and the fearless spirit of pirates. They are not bound by traditional military experience, and they fight very flexibly.

At the beginning, because of the gap in equipment and quantity, Sullivan was a little bit behind.

After a period of fierce confrontation, Sullivan's side gradually gained the upper hand.In fact, it can be seen from the heads of both sides that Sullivan himself stood on the deck of the naval ship and commanded the battle, while the opposing marshal had already retreated into his cabin, avoiding guns and bullets.
