Reborn As a Pirate

The tea is very fragrant and the night is long.

English tea is famous for its neutral and mellow taste, even if it is an evening tea, it will not be too strong. This is completely different from Scotland and Ireland, which drink strong tea. The ethereal tea fragrance is intoxicating.

Of course, that's just Lorraine's feelings.

The teas in the British Isles have their own characteristics, and each has huge loyalty and support. As long as the tea etiquette remains the same, it doesn't really matter what kind of tea you drink.

The key is oppression.

Bullying, bullying, and constantly conveying attitudes from the details, like a repeater, repeatedly let Emmons recognize the reality and let him put aside those unrealistic fantasies.

In other words, make him sober and calm.

Emmons has roughly recovered his composure, which is due to Lorraine and also Lorraine's wish.

After all, Lorraine's purpose was not to extract a confession.

If a person's spirit is in an unstable state for a long time, it is easier for him to tell the truth that he is usually reluctant to tell, and at the same time it is easier to tell the imagination that he has never had before.

And in this sensitive and special period full of suspicion, imagination will ruin everything.

Emmons took a deep breath.

Is Mr. President going to see the general?

Maybe you will go, maybe you won't, it's not your concern.

Then you think he is in the New World?

Lorraine shook his head: I know that he is still in the position of deputy chief of staff. Although there are rumors of a transfer, the official appointment has not yet been made. With the connections of the Drake Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to find out where he will go next.

The transfer order has been issued. Emmons said, To be precise, the general's transfer order has gone through all the procedures and will be officially issued in early March. He will return to the New World. One of my missions this time is to serve him. Stand up front.

Lorraine swiped the rim of the glass and pondered for a moment: He will return to the New World, that is to say... Sir Peter Parker's term of office is over?

Although it's not the same thing... Emmons nodded, General Parker's term of office is over, and the time of departure will be around May. The Admiralty has taken a fancy to his friendship with the general, and hopes that some adjustments will be carried out by the two of them. , to reach a stable transition.”

Adjustment?

Emmons shrugged: America is independent,

In order to express our goodwill, Bermuda, where the former Continental Squadron was stationed, is no longer suitable to continue to assume such a major military role. The Royal Naval Dockyard will be relegated to a small defensive formation.

The anchor port of the Continental Squadron has been moved from Bermuda to Newfoundland. Geographically speaking, the distance from Jamaica is too far away, which is no longer conducive to unified command... Although originally, there was not much communication between the New Continental Fleet and the Continental Fleet. level exchanges, but this time the Admiralty formally separated them.

The Admiralty wants to form a brand new North American Fleet, upgrade its rank, and increase its establishment. While suppressing the nascent United States, it will protect the increasingly stressed Canadian coastline. The New Continental Fleet, which has reduced defense zones, will be downsized to reduce Great Britain's military expenditure in the New Continent. Pressure, the general idea is like this.

Emmons didn't care about whether his words would reveal military secrets, and there was no hesitation or consideration in his words.

The new North American fleet is based on the second formation of the former Continental Squadron, including the first-class ship HMS Neptune, third-class ships HMS Lion, HMS Mars, 4 frigates, 6 destroyers and more than 20 ships. frigates of various types, and the Lion will continue to serve as the Admiral's flagship.

The general will be promoted to the blue flag admiral during this transfer and become the first admiral of the North American Fleet. Communicating with Sir Parker, setting up the admiral's mansion in advance, and welcoming the admiral in Newfoundland is my first mission in the New World this time. .”

It was... unexpected.

I have to say it was a surprise.

Shaq is about to return to the New World, and he is the only one of the above generals, commanding a super fleet with first-class battleships.

The first-class battleship is a super sea beast at the top of the marine ecological chain in the world. It has a body of 70 meters, more than 13 floors of content, 108 to 112 naval guns, and a total displacement of more than 3,000 tons.

Even if it is as powerful as the Royal Navy of Great Britain, there are only seven warships like this. Among them is the HMS Victory, which is called the symbol of British hegemony by later generations and became famous after Nelson's Battle of Trafalgar.

What's more, a Tier 1 battleship never goes into service for no reason. Most of the time, they are properly housed in dry and advanced naval docks to maintain wood. Like the nuclear bombs of later generations, they are regarded as the foundation and strategic strength of a country's armaments.

In the Royal Navy, there are only two fleets of the mainland and the channel that can use the first-class ship as a regular configuration, two in the mainland and one in the channel. Because they are responsible for protecting the security of the British mainland, no matter how important they are, they will not arouse the imagination of other countries.

But apart from these two fleets, does Britain have any other fleets equipped with first-class ships?

there is none left.

The treasure of the town and port of the New World Fleet is the second-class battleship Prince of Wales, and the African fleet guarding Cape Town also regards the second-class ship as the strongest combat force.

Asia... India seems to be equipped with two second-tier ships, and the Mediterranean Fleet, as the second strongest in the British Navy after the mainland, also relies on as many as ten third-tier ships and four second-tier ships. The existence of a first-class ship.

HMS Neptune, as the fourth first-class ship in active service in the Royal Navy, what exactly brought her to the new continent of Haiyan Heqing?

Could it be that the situation in Canada is really so dire? Or...Britain is still obsessed with the rich thirteen North American states?

Could this be another call to all-out war?

A sharp alarm sounded in Lorraine's mind, and the alarm sound was blocked and weakened layer by layer, and when it was fed back to his face, there was finally only a trace of curious curiosity left.

The honorable Baron Tavistock has actually been promoted again...the admiral of the admiral, Your Majesty's favorite, the Admiralty even gave him a treasure-like first-class ship, why does he keep himself in the small town? Aboard the Little Lion? Reminiscing?

No one can guess what the general is thinking. You know, he doesn't like to dissect himself in front of others. Emmons spread his hands helplessly.

He really doesn't like to confide in people who have nothing to do with him, but you are his close friend and his trusted adviser.

I really don't know. The general didn't tell me anything. Emmons regretted, I guess he might be willing to tell you.

You suggest I meet him?

Obviously you are ready to meet the general. As the general's loyal servant, I just try my best to provide some interesting topics for this long-lost reunion.

Some topics... Lorraine took a deep look at Emmons, It seems that you have successfully recovered your intelligence, Mr. Colonel.

Next, let's get to the point. Please tell me about another mission you have. I mean the one that is related to me and is enough for you to bypass Kingston and Sir Parker and secretly visit Miami...
