In the limited preparation time, using limited manpower and material resources to plan a kidnapping against local military and political leaders is the act of a lunatic no matter from which point of view.

And what Lorraine is doing is what a madman would do.

The focus of the first stage of the sea-marching operation was to capture San Carlos, and the core of the second stage was to smuggle across Lake Nicaragua and instigate Managua, an important town of Spain's confidant, Miskitos.

Regardless of the difficulties in the implementation of the two stages, they must overcome two disadvantages only in the connection between stages.

First, how to secure the newly captured fortress with a small amount of troops to ensure that when the first heavy rain of the rainy season ends and the water level of the San Juan River soars, San Carlos is still under the control of the British;

Second, how to control the overreaction of Grenada, the Spanish colonial capital, and prevent the Spaniards from taking full advantage of their military strength in the region.

In Lorraine's view, the essence of these two unfavorable factors is the same, both of which are that Grenada has too strong military strength, including an entire grenadier regiment, at least one line regiment and a total of more than 150 guns. Gate's mighty lake patrol fleet.

This terrifying army lies in the middle of San Carlos and Managua, like a giant dragon entrenched on a golden mountain, it may wake up at any time, and attack the thief named Nelson who stole gold coins at his feet Spew out raging flames.

It is an unsolvable problem.

At least in Major General Linda's comprehensive plan, the handling plan for it is very general, there is no implementation details at all, only some perfunctory and general restraint and deception, and it is also proposed that if it is necessary to counterattack according to the danger, it will It is necessary to make them suffer unbearable damage, and achieve a short-term peace with deterrence.

Red mouth and white teeth, they don't even know how long this short period will last!

The kidnapping of Lorraine is essentially the first practical action plan proposed on the basis of this temporary peace concept.

The core of the plan is very simple, that is, to use the precious opportunity of Governor Hawthorne and the Mara Admiral to jointly preside over the executive change of San Carlos to implement a one-pot kidnapping of the heads of the Spanish navy, army, and government in Nicaragua.

Considering that the administrative decision-making of a big country is naturally lagging, and the Kingdom of Spain has an unrivaled good reputation in the field of administrative lag, Grenada's huge military power is likely to enter a long-term leaderless state because of this kidnapping.

The army in this state can defend but not attack. When they no longer have the strength to attack, the short-term peace expected by the British will naturally be realized.

It can be seen that the significance of this kidnapping operation cannot be overstated. It will determine the ownership of San Carlos, the response of Grenada, and the success or failure of the entire sea-seeking operation.

The British landing force handed over all the temporary authorizations to Lorraine. He could transfer manpower, material resources, technology and all other material or non-material belonging to the British side at any time. Even Nelson and Spencer had to obey him.

Lorraine did not disappoint them either. In just one night, he and Blackbeard and a group of criminal professionals designed three sets of plans connected together, Plan A, Plan B and Plan C.

Plan A is the integration of all the most optimistic situations. Lorraine is responsible for compiling a story, replacing a Spanish officer who looks three points like him, and waiting without any risk on the only way the Prosperous Age must pass, creating an image for the Spaniards. There is an illusion that San Carlos is in danger and only the Shengshi can save it.

Then, when they lure the Prosperous Age to San Carlos, block the plank road, and force them to surrender, they have a lot of methods to choose from, and they are fully confident in each of them.

But perhaps it is a relationship that has been walking in a gray area all year round and everything has to be fought for by oneself. Neither Blackbeard nor Lorraine really believe that things will develop in a direction that is beneficial to them.

So they set up plan B and plan C, where plan B is a high-risk deception, and plan C is more straightforward, with almost no retreat.

Bosses, the captain is inside...

In the bilge of the San Carlos, Lorraine pointed to a watertight cabin with obvious temporary reconstruction and reinforcement features, and said so to Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne.

Admiral Mara's face was so dark that ink dripped out: Second Lieutenant Lopez, is this the prison you set up on the ship?

It's not a prison, sir... Lorraine hesitated to speak, Forget it, no matter how I explain it now, you will not believe my words. All I can say is one sentence, please believe in my loyalty to Spain, Please also believe in my love for my alma mater.

In just a few words, Hawthorne's accompanying adjutant had already led people to check the entire outer wall of the cabin.

He reported what he saw in Hawthorne's ear. Hawthorne was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, This cabin can only be locked from the inside?

Yes. Lorraine nodded solemnly, The captain has been worried about his safety since he was stationed in San Carlos. The San Carlos is the place he trusts the most, so he carefully set up a shelter here. All the decorations inside are similar to his study, and the hatch can only be opened inward, which is different from all the hatches on the ship.

But the place where construction started a few years ago, why is its outer wall...

The dilapidated outer wall was made overnight and coated with thick glue. It looks like this watertight cabin was once flooded with seawater, but it was not carefully repaired and was abandoned as a last resort.

This kind of situation is not uncommon on ships. People who don't know the situation of the ship will subconsciously ignore this cabin. It's like the soldiers sent by the two officers to check the rudder, passing by this cabin several times, but never. Someone has wondered what the situation is like inside.

Hawthorne opened his mouth weakly: Major Mara actually designed the shelter's camouflage to such an extent?

The two officers only need to knock on the hatch, and when they see what the cabin looks like, they will naturally know everything.

...

Not long after, the admiral and the governor were ready to knock on the door.

Mara Admiral originally planned to knock on the door directly, but Hawthorne stopped him.

He always felt that there was something inexplicable about this tall second lieutenant Lopez, and he didn't feel like a low-level officer who obeyed orders. Elites who keep their promises.

Just like himself...

So even though Admiral Mara was very anxious, even though the narrow aisle of the watertight cabin seemed to be unable to hide anything, even if Second Lieutenant Lopez had put on the most cooperative posture, accepting everything without rebellion, he still added insurance for himself.

A total of twenty elite stormtroopers rushed over from the Shengshi, raised their knives and guns towards the hatch, and were ready to strike with their hammers.

Hawthorne glanced at Lorraine: Second Lieutenant Lopez, this is your ship, and it's up to you to explain to your captain that it should be the least likely to encounter suspicion and suspicion.

Lorraine showed a wry smile on his face, nodded without saying a word, and walked through the gun forest without saying a word, until he came to the cabin door, and straightened his back.

Report from Second Lieutenant Lopez, Temporary Chief Officer! Lorraine said loudly, Captain, Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne have arrived, and they are just outside the cabin. They hope to meet you.

There was no response from the cabin.

Lorraine took a deep breath and repeated in a louder voice: Report from Second Lieutenant Lopez, the temporary first mate! The captain, Admiral Mara and Governor Hawthorne have arrived. They are outside the cabin and hope to meet you immediately.

click...

The hatch lock was reversed half a turn, and when the hatch was about to open, a timid voice finally came from the cabin: Lo... Lopez, it's mine... uh... my uncle and Huo... Is Governor Sang here?

Yes, Captain!

The attack...uh...has the trace of our attack last night been cleaned up?

According to your wishes, everything has been tidied up. Tongji of Shengshi has provided us with great help.

I see. I'll have to thank the captain of the Prosperous Age later, uh...before I replace him, we...seem to be, uh...seem to be friends.

Let my dear uncle back up a little, I want... er, no need to back off, I almost forgot, this door is opened from the inside, and only I can open it.
