Reborn As a Pirate

The target distance is 2400, and the relative speed is 5.5. Forward approaching! Ready for battle!

The captain has an order! The deck is in place, the artillery fire is in place, the stormtroopers receive their muskets and stand by in the restaurant, and each post is confirmed to be fixed nearby!

Abandon the dinghy! Check the rigging! The whole ship enters a mobile battle, guarding against impact, guarding against bullets, and guarding against roll!

Warning ten minutes before the battle! The final roll call for each post!

There were shouts one after another, the tension in the hustle and bustle, the golden deer's sails were stretched to the maximum, the sails were bulging to catch the wind, and the bow was raised, smashing the oncoming waves.

Lorraine was wearing the captain's windbreaker and stood at the tip of the bow against the wind. He stepped on the forehead of the figurehead, held the antlers with one hand, and clenched the long knife with one hand, despite the high wind and waves, his figure remained motionless!

In front of his eyes was an oil painting of a magnificent ocean battle.

In the upper left corner of the oil painting is the unsteady wind and cloud, the wind and cloud are connected to the sky above, and the sea below, and there are rumbling guns behind the sea level, like landslides and thunder.

The battle at the mouth of the No. 1 channel should be in full swing. Nelson's Badger is fighting against his Jupiter in a single ship in a narrow sea area. There is nowhere to retreat, no way to escape, and the battle is difficult. Compared with the situation of the Golden Deer, it is not much panic.

This young general who will eventually be recorded in the annals of history does have a charismatic personality comparable to his historical status. It is a matter of course that he will take over the most restrictive battlefield, and in order to win, he is willing to put himself on the altar.

What is even more concerning is that Lorraine still cannot guarantee that Nelson will return safely.

Has this Le Robert naval battle happened in history?

The purpose of Operation Halloween is to defeat the French Defense Fleet. Based on the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, Nelson proposed that the key to this operation can only be the expectation of the Golden Deer or Lorraine.

What are the chances of the historical Lorraine meeting the young Nelson? How likely is it to drive an elite fifth-tier ship to appear in this sea area at this time?

If there is no Lorraine in Nelson's life in history, can he find a suitable replacement? Is the strength and reputation of that substitute enough for him to come up with an adventurous plan similar to the Halloween operation?

There are too many conditions and too many restrictions.

Lorraine doesn't feel that he is capable of turning the heavy wheel of history, but if it only affects one or two independent lives,

Given the current size of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, it seems to be an easy task.

if……

Lorraine suddenly thought of an interesting proposition. Does history determine destiny, or does destiny shape history?

If Nelson finally died in this war that was insignificant to human history, would England's national destiny change? In the future Trafalgar, will anyone be able to stop Napoleon's ambition to rule the world?

The answer...seems obvious.

Lorraine shook his head boredly, and suddenly lost interest.

The so-called great men are just the lucky ones selected by current events. They may promote history, leave a mark, and change mankind, but first of all, they have to stand out from countless candidates.

This is fundamentally different from the philosophical questions of which came first, the chicken or the egg, or the universe or human beings first.

When Nelson is dead, there will always be Collingwood or other outstanding generals who will stand up. The great cause that the sun never sets is not created by the miracle of Trafalgar, and the glory and end of Napoleon will not be changed by one or two small shells.

This is historical materialism.

After thinking about this, the gunpowder smoke in the upper left corner has returned to reality in Lorraine's eyes, there is no vision of heaven and earth, and even the sound of rumbling guns has become indistinct.

After all... the distance between the two battlefields is more than ten kilometers apart. Compared with it, the fierce battle in the lower right corner of the oil painting is obviously more real.

Collingwood is at the fifth fairway with one against two, one man guarding the pass.

Huge water splashes bloomed in the turbulent sea. The Wasp folded its sails, lowered its anchor, and swaggered like a latch in the center of the flower field, forcibly sealing off the enemy's access with its own hull.

Lorraine could hear the deep despair of the French from the sound of the guns.

The narrow waterway is impossible to parallel, and it is impossible to turn. The 12-pound medium gun on the Brig's bow has little effect on the Wasp of the same level, but the Wasp can show off its 18-pound minions, venting the battle with full artillery fire desire.

The evasion space left by the channel for the French is too small. Considering the density of projectiles, it is even impractical for them to choose to sacrifice their lives.

Because once it gets close to the effective range of 300 meters of the Wasp, there may be a dozen red-hot heavy shells coming head-on, and then the British speed of two to three rounds per minute will continue to increase until they are sent to the bottom of the sea .

The battlefield there is just so ridiculous.

Obviously, both sides have a firm belief in serving the country and sacrificing their lives, but for the sake of the overall situation, these warriors chose the most perfunctory tactics.

The fixed-point artillery battle at a distance of 800 meters has a probability of less than one in a thousand. With these two data alone, this battle is enough to leave a strong mark in Collingwood's military resume.

And it was Lorraine who directly caused this battle.

Hurrying quickly, the Golden Deer and the Lucky Horseshoe finally entered the battle circle at the beginning of the main battle, successfully blocking the rescue channel from the fourth channel to the fifth channel.

The timing of entering the battle is precise.

The Golden Deer, which came in a panic, attracted all the attention of the Andes. The advantage is that Lorraine does not need to consider the further widening gap between the enemy and ourselves after joining Collingwood. The disadvantage is...

The Andes constitutes the main picture of this battlefield oil painting.

The huge Andes was lying in front of the Golden Deer, and it had already completed its shelling preparations in a leisurely manner. The densely packed side gun doors were opened uniformly, and the black holed muzzles protruded forward, just waiting for the reckless prey to crash into her best range.

Killing intent fills the air...

Lorraine spat softly: Hey, you already regard me as a layman, but you still put yourself in a stable defensive position... Is this the war quality of a veteran?

Lorraine recalled the information about the life of the Earl of Gervaux in the intelligence. It was mediocre and did not seek merit, but Gu Qi never made any major mistakes in his life, and his personal resume was extremely brilliant.

He is undoubtedly a difficult opponent, just like the Andes on the opposite side. He is obviously a clumsy beast with no force, but he easily wiped out Lorraine's advantage with only one simple greeting.

The T-head was in the hands of Rewodang, and the planned assault had little chance of winning.

The second option is a roundabout...

The Andes, with its full sails down, has given up racing, but its open vertical sails, bow sails, and dense patch sails between the masts retain its ability to turn quickly.

This means that it is difficult for Lorraine to regain the upper hand through movement.

So how about retreating slowly and leading the snake out of the hole?

A series of cannon shots suddenly came from the ear, reminding Lorraine that the sea area where they are now is less than three kilometers away from the Wasp.

As long as Lorraine dares to retreat, Rewodang will dare to abandon Lorraine and go straight to the fifth channel.

This is not speculation!

As if afraid that Lorraine would not think of this joint, the bow of the Andes was directly aimed at the Wasp, like a woman leaning in a dark alley and taking off her clothes. It is impossible for any man to misunderstand her identity .

Damn veteran! Damn steady!

Gritting his teeth, Lorraine cursed secretly, which coincidentally merged with the little Pierce on the observation deck.

Target distance 500, relative speed 4.7 knots, engage!

All the wild thoughts became meaningless with this battle.

The mission of a soldier is to fight, and the mission of a businessman is to fight, nothing else.

That being the case...

Left rudder cuts the wind! Keep your distance! Luo Linqiang drew out his long knife and pointed it straight in the direction of the Andes, Starboard, fire!

ATTT TACK!
