Watching the Dawn

Vol 7 Chapter 149: Return to the Opera 1

Two armed merchant ships in France approached the Dutch Frut merchant ship from the left and right.

It's just that Li Huamei put down the boat from the back of the boat, and the French had a moment's attention, which was covered by the merchant ship. It was at this opportunity that Li Huamei drove the boat towards the unknown island on the side.

She noticed early on that small island, a small island, but the island was undulating and the terrain was complex. If you can really hide on the island, although it is also a proportion of hundreds of people, it is undoubtedly several times larger than the sea. Even if it's too late, it's good to delay it slightly by the curved coastline.

"She's there!" The watchman of the French flagship first saw Li Huamei in a red dress and rowing a small boat. He blew his whistle drastically. In a blink of an eye, the two warships turned their heads together and turned the Dutch merchant ship. Throw behind.

"God bless ... let's run!" The fat captain dropped his **** without hesitation and drove the boat in the opposite direction.

The admiral of the French double-ship formation was thinking about whether to separate a ship to pursue, suddenly noticed that his wingship seemed to have entered the shooting position, and began to adjust the hull posture, eleven cannons ... pointed straight to Li Huamei Small boat.

He was suddenly scared away! "Tell the **** to stop! No one is allowed to fire the gun without my command!" After a dozen rudders, the ship was inserted directly into the firing line of the wing ship, and the wing ship was forced to give up the artillery fire.

No way, now it is not just a matter of the wanted order on Li Huamei. The problem of that Daming fleet is even more serious!

Li Huamei is now an important bargaining chip!

Under the leadership of Lin Nanxuan, Daming's Nanyang navy sailed south under the banner of the Three Princes. They not only occupied three small ports in northern South America at one go. A squadron of five ships was also divided and directly captured the ports on the African Gold Coast. this era. Northeastern South America is the sphere of influence of the French, while the Gold Coast of Africa is the territory of the Dutch.

At the time, the colonies established by the Europeans were all supported by a strong maritime fleet, and the local garrisons were often only a few hundred people. They rely on various means to drive local indigenous people to serve them. Therefore, Lin Nanxuan's fleet won the two places effortlessly. Once occupied, the two harbours are separated by the Atlantic Ocean and become a corner of the world. They use the name of the three princes. "Redeem" the port from the local governor at a fairly low price, and then settle down in a big way. (There is no legal problem, Europeans have always done this.)

Immediately, Lin Nanxuan promulgated a series of measures to convert local blacks and Indians from slaves to hired workers. It took less than a month to disperse the influence of Europeans and establish a fleet supply base in the Caribbean. The sea took root.

This is really anxious throughout Europe. To start the war, the total displacement of the opposing fleet has reached one-half of the British. One-quarter of Spain cannot win unless a very large fleet is dispatched.

But without war, there is no Suez Grand Canal yet. The European route to the East will be cut off at any time. Although Lin Nanxuan ’s fleet is only constantly strengthening the port, without making any provocative gestures, but the smart people know that this is the worst attitude.

This time. Enough for this bunch of Europeans.

So now Li Huamei. It became the big card they wanted to catch. Li Huamei parted ways with her fleet, this is not a big secret. Of course, this caused her value to skyrocket-imagine what would happen if Li Huamei came forward to organize a fleet against the Daming Fleet? Maybe the Nanyang Mariners' division will be split directly.

Of course, if the negotiations go smoothly, it is not impossible for Li Huamei to be used as a bargaining chip to buy the two ports.

Li Huamei did not know this, nor did he care about it.

The boat was pushed by the tide and floated to the island. Homeless and difficult to return to a country, Li Huamei or Xie at this time are looking for a chance to die in glory. Therefore, she stood in front of the boat with her sword in her hands, watching the approaching warship with cold eyes, ready to take the lead and rush to the front at any time!

The two French armed merchant ships came together. They exchanged with each other across the ship, and they separated again. They ran over from left to right. Obviously, Li Huamei had already known that he was capable, and he planned to force Li Huamei into the sea before arresting. Looking at the twinkling filaments on the sides of the two ships, it was clear that they each got trawled underwater.

When Li Huamei's double swords touched, they would jump in the midst of the violent sword.

Suddenly a huge shadow cast from behind, covering her with the boat under the shadow. Only then did I feel that Li Huamei, who was hit by another big ship behind him, felt some regret. Unexpectedly, the enemy is so cunning. The first two warships are all temptations, and the latter is the real killer ...

The big ship thundered violently, but in a blink of an eye, the boat had been lifted by the surge caused by the giant ship behind him. Just when Li Huamei closed his eyes and was dying, a cable wrapped around her waist ...

"What the **** is that?" The Admiral of the French double-ship formation was dumbfounded!

Just when the two warships were about to push Li Huamei's dinghy into the dead end, behind Li Huamei and behind the headland of the island, a British cruiser burst out of thin air! Where did it come from? ! Even if Nima can hide such a big boat on that cliff, how can you speed up so fast in that corner? ! Still not a sailing boat!

In the time that he didn't finish his words, the warship launched a charge with unreasonable speed! Li Huamei and the dinghy who were in front of her were directly crushed without even setting off any waves. It became a piece of wood floating in the sea.

"Damn it!" The Admiral didn't have time to give any order at all. He could only bend down and hide himself behind the bunker. Then the next moment. The ship was inserted between two French ships at a speed of more than twenty knots. Then I heard the deafening artillery salvo sound!

At least fifty 32-pound cannons will show off together! The hull, turret, mast, and deck at hand are fragmented under the cruiser's heavy artillery! The only thing the French Admiral can do is hug his head and curl up behind a pile of goods.

Firelight and smoke quickly enveloped two armed merchant ships.

Broken masts, flying turrets, burning canvas ... flames everywhere, smoke everywhere ... broken limbs everywhere!

When the French Admiral stood blankly from behind the pile of goods, he saw such a hell-like scene. The hull had begun to tilt, and the cannon was inserted on the deck like a toy. He yelled and threatened with a short gun ... but the sailors were either running wildly or crying with their residual limbs. Can't be organized at all.

His lieutenant, lying on the wheel rudder, lost half of his body together with the wheel rudder.

The Admiral pushed the adjutant's body away, vigorously pulled the rudder stock, and finally let the boat awkwardly make a half turn. The sailing ship wakes up the sailors on the deck, they help in a hurry, just to let the ship escape the battlefield as much as possible!

At this time, the Admiral had noticed. His wingman was still burning on the spot. No one was organizing self-help on it. It seemed that the officers above were finished. And the demon-like cruiser was just a little patrol. Just go straight away!

The extremely contemptuous gesture made him extremely humiliated and relieved for a long time. If the other party turns around and kills back. He did not know what options he had to surrender.

The moment Li Huamei wrapped the rope around her waist. I knew whose ship was hiding behind her. Her mind settled in that moment, and there was even a smile on her lips. During her time in the Caribbean. Only the time on the "Maria" is the happiest.

Perhaps it was because in front of many people, Li Huamei's face had to be taken into account. The cable did not habitually tie her into an eighteen shameful posture. Instead, she just picked it on her waist, and Li Huamei floated by the momentum, and she gently jumped in the air and jumped on the bow.

Li Huamei stood there, and the whole person started to glow, no longer as dead as before. She saw Lu Yuan standing intact behind the wheel rudder and waving to her. Next to him was a middle-aged man with white hair, dressed in military uniform, standing behind him.

At this time, a mess on the deck, a group of old people and children who seem to be seen only in the town, led into the cabin by a priest. In the diffuse smoke, the coughing of women and the crying of children came from time to time. This kind of atmosphere, which is not at all compatible with the battleship, was placed on the ship driven by Lu Yuan, but it became very suitable. It ’s not surprising to see any strange things on board, Li Huamei thought so.

"I heard that your later adventure was very exciting ?! Maybe I really shouldn't get off the boat last time!" Li Huamei sheathed the long sword and walked straight to Lu Yuan. "Long time no see, Master Captain."

"Welcome to board the ship! Lieutenant General Li." Although Li Huamei also claimed to be the "Opera", Lu Yuan never treated her as a man, and has always been very polite.

Li Huamei smiled and put her hand on the wheel rudder. "Can you lend command to me for a quarter of an hour? I want to clean up those two miscellaneous fish." She gestured towards the two French ships that were thrown away. Although it was borrowed, her hand seemed to be white, slender and slender, but when she held it up, the wheel rudder made a "Gaba Gaba" sound, leaving Lu Yuan's control and starting to force the left full rudder.

Obviously, the implication is that you can borrow, and you can borrow without borrowing. If he didn't want to break the wheel rudder, Lu Yuan could only let go.

Li Huamei rewarded him with a winking wink and stood in the position he had just been.

"Madam ..." A voice full of warnings came from behind her. Li Huamei turned around and saw the Bald Officer holding a shotgun made by Lu Yuan, aiming at his back. When he saw Li Huamei turned around, he put the barrel of the gun, "Although I don't know what you have to do with the captain, please don't interfere with Captain Lu's work."

"I am Li Huamei from the" Hua Dan "of the" Opera Theatre ". Are you a new member?" Li Huamei asked with interest, and Lu Yuan stood by the side. She was not worried that the other party would actually shoot. Anyway, in her view, this new warship is very suitable for her mind. It takes no more than a quarter of an hour to clean up the two small fishes. "Is there a code name?"

"What 'Opera'?" John asked slightly puzzled. "Is it the Chamber of Commerce?".

"Ah ~~" Li Huamei's mouth made a gentle voice, and his eyes instantly became interesting. She looked at John Walker and Lu Yuan again, "'Opera' ... but the most famous pirate group in the North Caribbean! Your captain is the boss of the pirate group 'Opera', codenamed 'Magic' ... ... Do you really not know this? ".

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly. Li Huamei is right, but all the descriptions on the wanted order are very complicated.

"This ... this ..." John hesitated, is Lu Yuan a pirate? Or the big pirate leader?

Li Huamei smiled and continued to chase after winning, "So, this gentleman, hasn't asked for your name?"

"John Walkman, the first officer of this ship."

"First officer? Oh la la, Lu, have you abandoned August?". Having said that, she was still afraid that John did n’t understand, and explained, “August was Lu ’s first mate, and he has followed him since he formed the‘ Opera ’. Since the accident with Lu, Augustus I have been staying alone in Port-au-Prince, borrowing wine to relieve my worries and washing my face with tears ... "

Lu Yuan covers his face, what are these words! John's face was already pale, but he still barely explained, "I am the first officer of the ship, as far as the entire fleet is concerned, whether it is the second or third ..."

Li Huamei interrupted him directly ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The second officer is his Spanish wife Misha Brown, and the third officer is his British wife Elizabeth Swann. He didn't tell you anything ... "

John left with a pale face.

"Now the boat belongs to me!" Li Huamei held the wheel rudder, she nodded happily at the landing, "You are my first officer first."

Lu Yuan could only sigh. He just saw Li Huamei's condition just now, and she stood alone in the bow of the boat. She looked very calm ... That kind of situation was nice to say "Although thousands of people go to me", "Generous death" ; It is not good to say that it is "no fun", "living walking dead".

Li Huamei suffered a blow, he knew very well. It is rare that after Li Huamei arrived on the ship, he seemed to regain his vitality. Lu Yuan didn't want this woman like flame at all, and withered away prematurely.

But now I have practical difficulties and I can't cooperate with her ...

Lu Yuan can only share his hands. "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Li Huamei, even if the ship is under your command, we also have to pretend to be disdainful, and leave quickly ... because the one we just shot out is our last shell. "(To be continued ...) ()
