Chapter 183 The Pirate's Scouting Team

Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

A well-organized large fleet is coming from north to south, riding the wind and waves.

These battleships and frigates of various sizes all carried the flag representing the British Royal Fleet.

And this fleet is the British Royal Fleet that departs from London and is about to go to Nassau to read the pardon!

Of course, this is just one of the squadrons.

Even so, as the maritime overlord of this era, the strength of this squadron is also extremely amazing:
A second-tier battleship with 74 guns is the flagship of the fleet; nine third-tier battleships with [-] guns are the main force of the entire fleet.

Around the periphery of these ten capital ships, there are also twenty frigates cruising.

Such a powerful squadron can be said to be all the naval forces that the British have at hand in addition to the fleets deployed in the colonies of the world!

This shows how much the British hate these pirates who dare to snatch food from their mouths...

Of course, such a powerful fleet is definitely not just for traveling thousands of miles to read the pardon.

This is an invisible deterrent!
If the pirates in Nassau do not accept the pardon, this huge fleet, which is enough to destroy a small country, will blockade the entire Nassau and completely destroy the pirate republic in front of us with a thunderous force!
And hang all the pirates to death! !

"Of course, if everything goes well, the fleet's many artillery pieces don't need to fire a single shell at all..."

At the stern of the second-tier battleship "Bristol", Woods Rogers, who had just been appointed by King George as Governor of the Bahamas, thought so in his heart.

The brackish sea breeze blew in, and he immediately looked around, feeling the full sense of security being protected by many warships.

Rogers was even more convinced that when those pirates saw such a huge fleet, if their brains were not soaked in sea water, they would obediently choose to accept the pardon.

Just as he was thinking about how to govern the Bahamas in the future, a man with a gray beard and hair in a blue and white navy uniform came to him:

"Governor Rogers, according to me, the real solution to the problem is to directly blast the place full of greedy bedbugs to clean up."

Hearing the voice ringing in his ears, Rogers, who was called back to reality, frowned slightly, and then returned to the original state.

Turning around slowly, Rogers looked solemn, the scar on his left face and his tone of voice were a little bit like being close to strangers:
"Brigadier General Chamberlain, after we arrive at the pirate den in Nassau, I hope you restrain your temper. Remember, we are messengers now, not executioners!"

"At least not until the pirates make up their minds..."

"I understand what you mean. I just think that such an approach is a waste of time. If those hooligans and bastards are accepted, it will only tarnish His Majesty's reputation and affect our various policies in the New World. Your Majesty The desire to wipe them out is greater than anything else."

"That's right. But the king's method has proven useless, hasn't it? If the method of suppressing pirates worked, I wouldn't be here, and neither will you. Your Excellency Commodore..."

Hearing Rogers' brazen words, Brigadier General Chamberlain couldn't help but frowned, and scolded in a low voice: "Pay attention to your words, Governor! You are today's status because of His Majesty the King."

"I have my sense of proportion, which is why Congress recommended me and His Majesty the King chose me."

Facing Rogers' serious expression and the hideous scar on his left cheek, Commodore Chamberlain had no choice but to retreat temporarily even though he was very upset: "Your Excellency, as the commander of the fleet, I just want to give you some suggestions."

"It's okay to make suggestions. But, Brigadier General Chamberlain, let me reiterate that I am the governor appointed in the name of the king, and I am the one who makes the decisions. Do you understand?!"

"I understand…"

However, just as the two were thinking of each other, they didn't know that the pirates far away in Nassau had already made their own choices...

At this time, the navigator's shout interrupted the thoughts of the two:

"There's a sail! On the port side, it's a black flag!!"

Hearing this, Rogers and Chamberlain looked at each other, and then ordered in unison:

"telescope!"

The adjutant behind him immediately offered the binoculars.

The two immediately came to the port side, opened the binoculars, and looked towards the sea.

What caught my eye was a black flag with a skull painted on it!

Immediately afterwards, several brigantines appeared on the left side of the fleet.

"It's a pirate!"

After discovering this huge British fleet, these brigs immediately turned their bows and spread out in different directions.

Seeing this, Chamberlain on the "Bristol" couldn't help but sneered, "Any pirate who sees such a huge fleet will run away. Even if the notorious pirate leader comes in person, it's no exception... "

However, Rogers, who saw this scene, frowned, feeling something was wrong.

He had brief contact with Rorschach in Havana and knew Rorschach better than Chamberlain.

Especially in the past six months, the prosperity and development of the Pirate Republic is enough to prove the wisdom and means of this pirate leader.

In order to deal with Nassau, the largest pirate den in the Caribbean, Rogers collected a lot of information about the Pirate Republic through the intelligence network of the Knights Templar.

However, the more he understood the entire pirate republic, the more he was shocked and admired by the actions of the pirate leader Rorschach.

This young man from the East is vigorous and decisive in his actions, and obviously has a clear mind.

If you think that Hernigold will prevent the development of the Pirate Republic, you will unite with other captains to overthrow it; if you think that reforms can make Nassau stronger, then implement reforms...

And the facts have proved that all his decisions so far are correct!
Order your subordinates to flee?
This is definitely not something that man would do!
And the development of the next thing also confirmed Rogers' conjecture.

The brigs that had just turned away, two of them, suddenly turned around again, and then did nothing but followed the fleet at a distance.

Even if Chamberlain ordered a few frigates to deal with these two tails.

However, due to the disadvantage in speed, it was impossible to catch up with these slippery pirate ships.

When the frigate caught up, it immediately turned around and ran away; if it stopped chasing, it followed slowly.

Until this time, not only Rogers, but even the arrogant Chamberlain realized the seriousness of the matter.

Obviously, the two pirate ships hanging behind the tail of the fleet were nothing more than pirate reconnaissance teams.

Their purpose is only one, and that is to monitor the British fleet and confirm the real-time position of the fleet!
