Chapter 5 Butterfly and Flower Stamen

 Chu Feng originally wanted to ask Giannis for the strategy of the entire American continent, but finally stopped.

"Even His Majesty says that the empire's America strategy is based on Zhang Henxue's opinions. I am just a person who assists him in the front-end stand. In the end, he will still have to return to the local area, so don't cause trouble."

However, he still wanted to know the situation of the thirteen North American states that were preparing for independence, so he opened his mouth to ask Giannis.

When Giannis was telling the story, Chu Feng didn't look at him head-on, but just listened quietly. Giannis' tone was also very stable, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. However, when he asked about the Thirteen North American states, Giannis' tone changed significantly.

Chu Feng couldn't help but look up and looked at him.

Giannis's eyes were obviously flickering, which surprised Chu Feng even more.

"What's going on? Could it be that the power of the Mysterious Society has penetrated into the Thirteen States?"

"General, most of the thirteen states in North America are British immigrants, so far, it has reached nearly two million. In addition to black slaves, it is probably close to three million. Their real strength is already above Portugal"

"The enemy of your country is the British. Using the thirteen North American states to consume Britain's national strength is a trick"

"So you are sure that the Thirteen States will win and be independent from Britain?"

"Absolutely, they have the help of the French. The army of both sides was equally similar. Now with the help of the French navy, it is even more powerful. Independence is a matter of time."

Chu Feng thought to himself: "In addition to the French, there may be figures of your mysterious club here."

Just as he was thinking, the hatch door rang, and then Shen Chen walked in.

"Commander, it's almost time to the Windward Islands"

"Oh? Where is it exactly?"

In this world, there is obviously only one country that can accurately locate anytime and anywhere, that is Truchen. Although other countries can also use sextant and navigation clock to measure latitude and longitude, it can only be one approximate. In most cases, they still have to rely heavily on navigation charts.

"About thirty miles ahead is the waters between Guadeloupe and Dominic Island. Our route is right opposite the island of Mary Garonte, south of Guadeloupe"

Marie Garonte Island protects the swelling in front of the Cape Pittel in the middle of Guadeloupe. The reason why Truchen is interested in Guadeloupe is because of the existence of Marie Garonte Island.

Chu Feng stood up, walked to the deck and called Katarina over.

It can be seen that Catalina obviously realized that she had approached Guadeloupe, and her face was filled with excitement, which made Chu Feng really not understand. Although she understood that she was a big pirate, it was a bit incredible that a woman was so interested in her pirate career.

"Dear, are you sure they will accept you as enthusiastically as they used to?"

"OK"

"Oh? So confident? I'm really curious. These pirates who lick blood on the edge of the knife are actually obedient to a woman, or a charming woman..."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and Katarina opposite spat and cursed: "I know what you are thinking. Yes, they are all greedy for my body, but the decision is in my hands!"

Chu Feng suddenly felt chills, and his favor for Katarina disappeared without a trace. However, after seeing the joking smile on her face, I couldn't help but think to myself: "Did she say this on purpose so that I can get out of here?"

So I wanted to change the topic, "What are you planning for the future?"

"What else? Of course, be a pirate with pursuit or a pirate who specializes in robbing Truchen's ships"

"Haha, I think so well. My Truchen's ships are all steamships, with first-class mobility and wind resistance. How can you pirate ships compete with?"

However, the word "successful" that Catalina just said alerted him, "Is it the Spanish king issued a privateer license?"

He also smiled and said, "Then I wish you a good trip, but I didn't want to invite me to have a drink before?"

A strange look in Katarina's eyes flashed in a flash. Although Chu Feng saw it, he was seen by Shen Chen beside him.

Soon, a small green island appeared in front of everyone, sailing on the vast sea for a week, and when they first saw the land appear, everyone naturally cheered.

"That's Mary Garonte Island"

Katarina's eyes also flashed with a sense of brilliance and she said softly.

"Oh?"

Chu Feng also felt something strange.

"Guadeloupe is composed of two large islands, which looks like a butterfly from a distance, while the island of Mary Garonte opposite is a blooming flower"

"Oh? Are butterflies important, or are flowers important?"

Chu Feng's incredible answer made Katarina feel chilled, but she still replied.

"Nature is important for flower stamens"

The fleet began to sail into the waters between Mary Garonte and Guadeloupe, and a sloop came over.

There was a small white flag hanging at the top of the mast, with an intersecting skull painted on it - which surprised Chu Feng even more - "Facing with our iron-clad fleet, let alone pirate ships, even the British battleships could only hide far away. Unexpectedly, they dared to come up!"

When I looked again, I saw that Katarina had a small flag in her hand, and she was gesturing something with the flag.

"So that's it"

The boat quickly left after receiving the signal from Katarina. The fleet began to turn north. Not long after, a deep blue bay jumped into his eyes. On the east side of the bay, a gray-white castle was hidden in a large area of ​​green.

The fleet soon sailed into the west of Bastel Island and the winding strait between the east of Grande Terre Island. These two islands together are collectively called Guadeloupe.

The boat just now sailed back and showed the flag saying that led the way in front - this is the Windward Islands, with strong trade winds in the southeast, and the sloop can flexibly use the wind to drive in and out.

After entering the Guadeloupe Strait, I saw some ships moored on both sides of the strait every now and then. Chu Feng counted and found that there were about fifteen ships, half of which were being repaired on the pier, and half were being quietly moored in the water, and all sails fell.

Except one.

It was a large Garen ship, about the same size as the Bartulu of the Truechin Navy. Dozens of snow-white sails covered the tan hull. A small flag was also hung on the top of the main mast. A tulip was embroidered between the two intertwined skulls!

"Aren't pirates afraid that our warships will destroy them all?"

With a hint of doubt, the boat quickly led the fleet to the port of Pittel Point-as a well-trained navy, the Truchens obviously did not carelessly. In order to prevent accidents, the boat followed by a lighter draft Saiyin, and the main fleet was about one mile away from Saiyin.

While following the boat, Saiyin kept driving around, wandering around, constantly measuring the water depth with a measuring rope, and then left a waterway about a hundred meters wide for the main fleet behind.

At this time, even if the pirates make the Truqins cheat, they are no longer afraid.

"Dong..."

When the main fleet slowly drove into the Pittel Point Pittel Pier, the bell on the towering church spire in the middle of the gray and white castle on the shore rang. It was obviously a huge bell, and the sound spread throughout the strait in an instant.

Chu Feng was so nervous that he quickly raised his sleeves and looked at it. It was exactly twelve o'clock on his watch!

The pier is well built, and dozens of large ships can be parked at the same time. At present, except for the small boat, it is empty. The Garen ship with white sails is moored on the other side of the strait. A Batulu docked first, and then a company of Marines came ashore with a new semi-automatic rifle.

On the shore, a group of pirates wearing various clothes, old and young, stood in the square next to the pier. There was a huge statue in the middle of the square. According to the information obtained by Chu Feng, it was the statue of Madame Guadeloup, the former owner of the island.

These pirates happened to stand in front of the statue, and in the middle was a tall young man.

I saw him about thirty years old, with a Spanish appearance, curly black hair and a handsome face, but there was a clear scar on his right cheek.

"Scar Sikadith"

By the way, this person is Sicadiz, the famous "scar" in the Caribbean. Legend has it that this person became a pirate when he was ten years old. Before meeting Catalina, he was as famous as Red Bearded Scarlo, One-Eyed Williamson, and Mazi Santos.

There were about thirty pirates surrounded by Sikadith, with short guns and long swords on their waists. After seeing the Marines in a company that had been ashore before, they also became turbulent from their previous silence.

Sicadiz (meaning scars in Spanish) wore a wrinkled linen long-sleeved shirt, orange tight trousers, a pair of calfskin shoes with bows, two short guns and a long cross sword around her waist.

Wearing a white top hat on his head, he frowned when he saw Chu Feng following Katarina.

Chu Feng was also a little surprised.

"Before coming, I have toured the meeting scene in my mind several times, but I never thought it would be like this."

Before going ashore, Shen Chen, the commander of the Marine Corps, had already made Xiao Wang's hand observe clearly with a high-power telescope on the main mast.

"There are thirty-six pirates in the square outside the city, and hundreds of pirates in the castle"

Sikadiz walked out alone, and Katarina also accelerated her pace. Chu Feng ignored it and deliberately slowed down.

There were obviously many artillery laid on the wall near the port, but the Pittel Point Pier is not far from the sea. The rotating turret on each warship of the Iron Armored Fleet also adjusted its posture and aimed its muzzle at the city wall.

The Marine Corps that had previously landed ashore all had eight-shot semi-automatic rifles, and on their chest were four rows of bullet belts, each row of twenty bullets, totaling eighty ones.

There are also four special Marine grenades hanging around their waists - a new type of screw-capped cable grenade that is close to later generations.

This kind of firepower is not something that these pirates who have never seen many worlds can imagine.

As a Marine Corps, there are only ninety people in a company, which is also the maximum number of people the pirates can allow them to enter the city.

Katarina and Sicadis hugged each other tightly. From Chu Feng's perspective, it was obvious that Sicadis's scar face lying on Katarina's shoulder was looking at him, showing a strong sense of provocation.

Chu Feng's face was also changing in a state of change, not because of Sikadiz's provocation, but because he was constantly weighing his next moves.
