Chapter 908 A serious businessman?
Eight Spanish sailboats are lined up in the harbor, which is very powerful. Six of them are Spanish galleys, two fully armed warships with three-deck artillery positions, and four are Karak transport ships, two more double-deck light armed sailboats than the intelligence.
The residents in the port are pointing out, and the admiration is endless. The armed sailboat with exquisite tall ship buildings reflects Spain's strong national strength! You should know that at this time, Spain almost monopolized the trade of the entire new continent of the Americas. According to statistics, from 1545 to 1560, the Spanish navy transported 5,500 kilograms of gold and 246,000 kilograms of silver from overseas. By the end of the 16th century, 83% of the world's precious metal mining was from Spain. All this made Spain quickly become the richest maritime empire in Europe, allowing such a majestic Spanish fleet to sail on the Atlantic Ocean!
Although Aken knows that these Spanish galleys with tall and exquisite ship buildings represent a backward naval warfare tactics, when he sees this powerful fleet, he still beats his heart and feels that it is a big mistake to take the risk of hijacking this fleet. If he is not careful, he will make his team a hard time. The accumulated family has been capsized. You should know that these warships are not comparable to those warships of pirates. Just looking at their appearance, each of them is stronger than the Blood Lion!
For such a large fleet, it will take a week to supply alone. Therefore, the time for rest will not be short. This gives a group of people with ulterior motives to have enough time to plan.
The Puerto Rico port on San Juan Island is a large port in the Caribbean Sea, and there is also a great demand for hardware goods transported by the royal fleet. But even if the governor of San Juan Island repeatedly requested, he did not get even a bucket of hardware goods. This made the Governor very angry, so it also directly led to the tension between the fleet commander and the governor.
The governor of San Juan secretly ordered the island's armed forces not to provide any assistance to the fleet, and Acan's first meeting, a seemingly unreliable hired armed fleet was sent out, which was in Aken's arms. The governor of San Juan Island even viciously hoped that Acon, a British royal knight, could remember the unclear hostility between Britain and Spain at this time, causing some trouble for this arrogant royal fleet and making himself angry!
It's not just a hassle. Aken wants to take all the property of the fleet! However, after receiving the secret message from Katrina, Acon knew that three powerful pirate groups had been ambushed in the port. In addition to the 'Barbarosa' pirate group, the 'Barbarossa' pirate group and the 'vik' pirate group also have ships and eyeliners here. And the three parties have found each other.
So Acon asked Katrina's ship to withdraw from the port of Puerto Rico and pretended to withdraw from the competition. Zhang Fan's 'Dragon Soul' pirate group and Catalina's 'Barbarosa' pirate unity alliance are secret and the outside world does not know it. Now Aken has entered the interior of the Spanish fleet and followed the escort. For Catalina, the movement of the fleet is not a problem. Because Green Wing is on her ship, as long as it is less than 50 kilometers, Aken can contact Catalina through team communication.
Aken originally wanted to bribe the Spanish governor, enter the Spanish fleet through his introduction, and then secretly destroy the other party's ships, jointly defeat the escort fleet and hijack the transport fleet. But now there are other pirate groups, and this strategy is likely to make wedding clothes for others, so we can only wait for a while and wait for the opportunity.
"If only the book demon was here..." Aken has a headache because he is not familiar with the Caribbean. If the book demon is here, he can provide detailed information. He needs to accurately predict where the 'Centage Sunset' pirate group and 'Vicota' pirate group will be and how to plunder in order to deal with it.
Fortunately, Stoke is familiar with the Caribbean, and he is even familiar with the two pirate groups. The Spanish fleet is most likely to arrive in Port-au-Prince from this route. Stoke pointed to Haitu and said to Aken that Acon and Katrina's bold plan also made this guy boil and rob the captain's ambition. "Go through Mona Island and drive along the south coast of Haiti Island. Because if you go from the north coast of Haiti Island, you will pass Tortuga Island, where pirates gather, which is very dangerous for the fleet..."
According to the Caribbean Robbery Convention, any piracy group without an alliance agreement must act separately when plundering the same target. Then the first best attack area is the sea area of Shona Island in the southeast corner of Haiti. The terrain of this sea is complex, and there are many reefs, which is convenient for pirates to attack and escape with small boats.
"The second sea area where an attack may occur is Barahona Bay on Haiti Island, which is the central peninsula area on the southern coastline of Haiti Island. The coastline is complex, and there are many places and ways to attack, which can best make large pirate groups such as 'The Sunset of Carthage' exert their energy. Therefore, this sea area will be the most likely place for the 'Catagi Sunset' pirate group to launch an attack.
"The third attack area is near Vash Island, which has many islands and bays. The terrain is very complex and easy for pirates to hide. And this place is not too far from Port-au-Prince. It bypasses this narrow peninsula and enters the St. Mark's Strait, where Port-au-Prince is located. Of course, there is one last chance to ambush the fleet. However, only two crazy men, the blood lion Hook and the red-haired demon Caterina, can attack the fleet under the eyelids of the Spanish fleet stationed in Port-au-Prince. Now that these two guys get together, I'm really worried about them..."
Akan stared at Haitu for a long time and sent a message to the Green Wing: "Let Catherine's two main warships find a place to hide in Baraona Bay, and then let them drive Hook's two-masted sailboat, disguised as a small merchant ship next to the fleet seeking free protection, and wait for my order. Whether the pirate group attacks the Spanish fleet, don't move blindly..."
Then he said to Stoke: "The two Galen warships are led by you. When you encounter a pirate attack, you must do your best to help the Spanish fleet counterattack, but try to shell from a long distance and don't take overboard battle. I will keep an eye on the whole fleet in the air..."
"Do you want to help the Spanish fleet?" Stoke is puzzled.
"Help with all your strength! This is our best opportunity to win the favor of the Spanish forces. Naturally, the looting is to let the pirates do it. We are serious businessmen... cough... It will be in the future..." Akan said brazenly.
"That 'Dragon Soul' pirate group..." Stoke was puzzled.
"It can also be a righteous 'Dragon Soul' chivalrous merchant fleet..." Aken's words flashed.
"..." Stoke was a little dizzy.
