The cool morning breeze blew across Captain Adok's dark beard and spread his rough roar to all directions: "Brothers, slow down and prepare to release the speedboat!" Because of the speedboat's advantage in speed, the current smuggling operations are more in

So the Mississippi Slut began to slow down, the waves on the bow began to decrease, and the speed of the ship gradually slowed down. A few minutes later, the ship finally stopped. At this time, the lookout post climbing on the high mast also reported that "no other ships were found around". Ador pulled the white gloves on his hand and said to the chief mate: "Okay, let's get the speedboat."

In order to collect and release the speedboats faster, the Mississippi Slut was modified and equipped with a large crane that could directly put the empty speedboats into the sea, and then several sailors went down the rope ladder to the speedboat. Then the cranes on the large ship also began to put the boxes full of cargo on the small boat. With such a crane, the speed of loading and unloading the goods was greatly improved.

The first small boat was successfully put into the water. Then boxes of supplies were slowly lifted down. The weight of the things in these boxes was generally no more than 150 pounds, so that when they were intercepted by the Spanish anti-smuggling team, they could be quickly thrown into the sea to reduce the load of the ship and speed up the ship.

Soon, the first speedboat was full of cargo. Nelson waved to the big ship at the tail of the boat, then activated the gasoline engine on the boat, and then plowed the turquoise sea water and headed towards Cuba Island.

Adok looked at the boat that was leaving and said calmly: "Next."

Just as the sailors hung four iron ropes on the second speedboat, the lookout on the mast shouted: "Spanish cruiser!"

"Damn it, stop the boating and signal to Nelson to tell them that the Spaniards are coming." The Mississippi Slut is still in Cuba's territorial waters and has the right to sail freely. In the current situation, the Spaniards should not dare to do anything to American ships directly on the high seas. So, Adok has nothing to worry about, except the boat that has been released. However, with the speed of the boat, the cruiser that has got rid of the Spanish should not be too big.

The sailors fired a shot into the sky and waved flags at the dinghy, informing them that there was a Spanish ship approaching.

"Nelson, look! There is an alarm!" Odom, who was on the boat with Nelson.

In fact, there was no need for Odom to shout, Nelson also discovered it.

"It doesn't matter, the Spaniards can't catch up with us. As long as we enter the port of the autonomous region, they dare not chase after him." Nelson didn't care much about the arrival of the Spaniards. He also comforted Odom, who had run this mission for the first time.

In order to facilitate communication, the sailors on the ship just now used old-fashioned fire, medicine and guns when they fired. This kind of gun is outdated now for war, but it is simply better to send signals. It has a lot of medicine, the guns are loud, and it can also spray a large stream of thick smoke from the muzzle. You can see it from a distance.

People on the boat can see it, and people on the Spanish cruiser can naturally see it.

"Captain, there is a smuggling mother ship over there, and maybe he has just put down the boat." The lookout report to Captain Major Tok.

"Very good, have you seen the boat?" Captain Tok shouted to the lookout on the mast.

"Not...ah, I saw it, it's there, not far from that big ship." The lookout's eyes left the telescope and shouted loudly.

"Slow down and prepare to set off the speedboat!" Major Tok shouted.

Although the Americans' speedboats had gone far, Major Tok still believed that his speedboat would definitely catch up with the guys over there, because his speedboat was lighter and faster.

The cruiser gradually stopped, and the speedboat was slowly lowered from one side of the ship's side. The Spanish put down the speedboat faster than the smuggling ship because they did not need to load the ship.

Several Spanish sailors holding rifles got on the speedboat, started the engine, and then the speedboat split the waves and chased in the direction of the smuggling ship.

...

"Captain, Captain! The Spaniard put down the speedboat!" The lookout on the Mississippi Slut shouted.

"What? Damn it! Hell! Those Spanish stinky fish will have this too! Hell! Send a signal quickly! Let Niels and the others throw away the goods! Hell! Hell!" Captain Adock threw the tin wine pot that had just been drunk in his hand and cursed.

A sailor quickly loaded his old rifle with gunpowder and fired another shot into the sky.

...

"Nils, there's another signal there." Odom, who had been looking around nervously, shouted.

"Damn it! What happened?" Nelson also felt that something might be wrong. He snatched a telescope and looked in the direction of the Mississippi Slut.

"The enemy's speedboat is approaching?" Nelson read the meaning of the flag.

"Damn it! Throw all the boxes!" Nelson shouted, and at the same time, he pulled out the dagger and cut the rope tied to the boxes. Then he pushed it violently, and a box fell into the sea, and the splashed water wet Nelson's clothes. The other sailors were also busy and kept pushing the boxes into the sea. At the same time, the sailors at the helm also began to increase their horsepower and increase their speed.

...

"Nelson, look!" Odom screamed again as soon as Nelson threw the last box into the sea.

Nelson looked in the direction Odom pointed out: a speedboat was dragging long snow waves as they approached.

"So fast!" Nelson said, then shouted: "Accelerate! Accelerate!"

The distance between the two boats is still close, because even without the load, the Spanish speedboat itself is lighter, and with an additional engine, it makes it significantly faster than that of Nelson's ship. Fortunately, the Spanish ship is too fast, which makes them not flexible enough when turning. Every time they chase it close enough, Nelson can always pass a sharp transfer and pass it empty.

"Shoot, do warning shots, tell them that if we don't stop the ship, we will fire!" said Lieutenant Duy on the Spanish speedboat.

So a soldier raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky.

"What should I do?" Odom asked in a panic.

"Don't care!" Nelson spat hard.

...

After several rounds, Lieutenant Duyi still failed to get the opportunity to seize the speedboat. The driver of the speedboat was very cunning and could always use a beautiful sharp turn to widen the distance at critical moments.

"Fire at them!" Second Lieutenant Duy said that his speedboat was indeed faster, but the fuel consumption was also greater. The full load of the two engines was particularly fuel-intensive. In addition, their boats were small and they contained less fuel, so the fuel volume was already a bit insufficient now.

Several Spaniards began to shoot at the Americans. However, on the sea, both ships were running fast and at the same time, they were also jostling violently. If they shoot on such a boat, it is almost impossible to aim effectively. This is also the reason why Nelson dared to ignore the Spaniards' fire of the gun just now. Sure enough, although the Spaniards fired a lot, only Poseidon knew where their bullets flew.

"Try to get closer and shoot a volley!" Second Lieutenant Duyi also knew that shooting like this was of limited significance, so he said to the sailor at the helm.

"Okay, I'll try it out." The sailor replied.

However, at this moment, Nelson's auspicious characteristics finally broke out, and a Spaniard's engine suddenly burst out with smoke and stopped rotating.

"Damn!" Lieutenant Duy cursed.

"Second Lieutenant, I'm going to reduce the output, otherwise it would be a big deal for the other one." said the sailor.

"These damn bastards!" Second Lieutenant Duy cursed. But he was not scolding the Americans, but the Spaniards, because, he heard that these two engines originally had a water cooling system with brass fan hot plates, but damn it. A few days ago, the two brass fan hot plates were missing. One of them must have been stolen by the bastard to change to drink. They could only make an emergency on their own, and the one they made was obviously not very useful. Now they can only watch the Americans run away.

Duck Castle, Scrooge's office.

Scrooge was thinking about this information with a frown.

"What is Morgan doing? He has taken so many things in the past and has a large amount of funds in his hands. What does he want to do? Now there are tens of millions of funds in his hands that can be used at any time, right? He must have seen a big goal, but what is this big goal?"

After thinking for a long time, he still had no idea. Scozhi simply stopped thinking about it. Maybe he had the opportunity to make money, but he didn't find it. However, even with such an opportunity, he would probably be too busy now. Why are you doing this? So he threw this information aside and started to look at the next statement.
