The corpses all over the ground were thrown into another vacant watertight cabin, and the little Mara gained temporary freedom, and sent an order for the big Mara to summon all officers above the school level to the San Carlos, and then the school level summoned the lieutenants, Lieutenant summons non-commissioned officers...

During the whole process, there was no bloody battle, only Blackbeard led people to block the aisle, and the Spaniards who knew the current affairs chose to surrender without exception.

Almost half an hour later, it was Mara again, leading Blackbeard and Zaniin, as well as representatives of school officers, lieutenants and non-commissioned officers back to the Grand Age, and announced to the more than 200 sailors on board that the ship It has been officially transferred to the Drake Chamber of Commerce.

Nelson fulfilled the promise made by Lorraine. Every sailor who assisted in sailing was paid an octagonal gold coin. dinner.

As a result, the first phase of the sea-landing operation plan has finally come to an end.

In the last few days before the start of the rainy season, there was only one last major event before them, the ultimatum.

This ultimatum is not a common ultimatum during the war, but just a transactional announcement to inform the Spaniards of the end of the war. As for the reason, it is naturally to protect the Spaniards' right to know the situation, lest they know that San Carlos has fallen without knowing anything, and because they cannot find a leader, they blindly make a decision to attack.

Therefore, the ultimatum is very important, and the content must include the following points:

Tell the Spaniards that the British have successfully captured San Carlos.

tell the Spaniards,

A total of 77 nobles and officers were captured after heroic fighting, including Major General Hawthorne, the Spanish colonial governor in Nicaragua, Major General Mara, the admiral of the Grenada garrison formation, and Baron Torresias, the commander of the San Carlos Fortress.

Tell the Spaniards that they can submit a formal request for negotiation to Major General Darling, the colonial governor of Great Britain stationed in Jamaica, the Army Department, or the British Foreign Office at any time. Don't go to the navy, this operation has nothing to do with the navy.

The person who delivers the ultimatum is also very important. It cannot be a mercenary like the Drake Chamber of Commerce, nor an unidentified figure like an aborigine or Blackbeard.

Neither can Nelson and Spencer. Their status in the team is too high and they are easily used as bargaining chips by the Spaniards; their ranks are too low. self-esteem.

After several selections, Freemani finally volunteered and was successfully elected.

Lorraine chose Blackbeard's beloved Lucia as the means of delivering the letter, and Leif, Chamuyam and Zainni were used as guards.

Nelson also selected a lieutenant colonel, two captains, and a second lieutenant from among the captives. On the one hand, they need to prove the authenticity of the ultimatum, and on the other hand, they are used as gifts to ensure that there will be an anti-British army in Grenada. Grateful friend.

On May 3, Freeman set off from the lakeside pier. Watching the sail shadow drifting away, Spencer suddenly patted Fear Lorraine's arm with emotion.

Major, what is this?

Thank you, Drake.

Thank you? Zhang Er Lorraine couldn't figure it out. If it's those things during the war... This is my job to accept the employment. I haven't been reluctant, and I have received the corresponding compensation.

It's not about the war, Drake, I mean Freemani.

Lieutenant Freemany? What's the matter with him?

This action has made him grow a lot, he has a completely new look, and he is a different person! Spencer's voice was full of deep emotion, He took the initiative to ask me to submit the ultimatum on the grounds that he is my brother-in-law, and It is of noble origin, whether it is about personal identity or the identity in San Carlos, it is enough to make the Spaniards feel sincere.

Lorraine raised his eyebrows: If he intends to act frankly, there will be many unnecessary risks.

He said it was a big deal, so he fled into the woods. With Ericson here, he believed that the Spaniards would not be able to stop him. Spencer laughed. Do you know what reward he asked me for?

Promoted? Or transferred?

He's ready to retire.

With a completely unexpected answer, Lorraine gasped in surprise: He plans to retire after making great achievements?

He wants to be on board, not as a navy, but as a sailor. Spencer looked into Lorraine's eyes, The reward he asks of me is, I hope I ask you, to allow him to become a member of the Drake Chamber of Commerce .”

Ah...huh? Lorraine was stunned for a while, I think I need to think about it.

I'll wait, you can tell me the result anytime.

After finishing speaking, Spencer turned and left, replaced by a black beard and approached Lorraine with a different nose and a different face.

Boy, it's been five days! I took risks for you, fought for you, and lent you precious cadres and ships to accompany you on that unknown ultimatum. I have paid enough, and now I just want to Do you know, when will my reward be cashed out?

Those materials are lying somewhere on Passatra Island, not with me. Lorraine twisted his neck and replied, Your Highness, according to the weather in previous years, it will take about a month from the beginning of the rainy season to the stabilization of the San Juan River's hydrology. We can't do anything during this period, and we have a lot of time to go to that beautiful island to complete the final handover. Do you think you will follow me to the island, or wait for me to deliver the goods in San Carlos?

Of course I'm going to the island with you! Blackbeard sniffed hot air, Who knows if you'll delete important information from the copy!

There is always a need for trust between people. Lorraine teased, Since you are going to the island, in order to avoid some unpleasant things from happening, please choose your entourage, the limit is three people.

Blackbeard's eyes widened: What about the trust you just said?

I ask you to trust me, because I am a successful businessman who regards reputation as his life, and I have been educated by the orthodox English nobles since I was a child. You cannot ask me to trust you, because your family is only farmers, and you yourself are capricious. , known for being greedy and cruel. This is the fairness that must be observed in our cooperation.”

I need to trust you, you don't need to trust me, is that fair?

Yes, this is fairness. Lorraine smiled comfortably, It's like we couldn't deal with Grenada's counterattack, so we took the initiative to pay attention to the Spaniard's right to know. True fairness is never the two ends of the balance, but through Add weight and balance the imbalance.

In short, when the rainy season comes, there will only be one ship going to Passatra Island, and that is the Majesty. If I accidentally find another ship with the same destination during the voyage, I will sink her and balance it all at once Gaining weight is necessary.

Lorraine gestured with the swing of the balance with both hands, and suddenly a drop of water fell from the sky and hit the back of his hand.

He couldn't help interrupting the topic, and raised his head to look at the low, cloudy sky.

The rainy season... has begun.
