Li Zhen looked calm and ordered: "Huang Qiang, immediately send a message to the pirates, saying that we will first capture the French warships that are coming, and then resolve the unfinished battle."
Huang Qiang was stunned and immediately asked: "President, is this okay? Besides, the arrival of French warships is not necessarily a bad thing. They can help us fight pirates."
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense, time is urgent, send the message immediately."
"yes."
Huang Qiang immediately ordered the soldiers in charge of communicating the message to notify the other party with flags. Immediately, Li Zhen ordered the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to stop shooting at the pirates coming in the small boats, and to change direction to meet the approaching French warships. Li Zhen's move , the bald pirate captain was stunned for a moment, but after receiving the news from Li Zhen, he began to weigh the matter in his mind.
"Captain, I don't think the person on the other side can be trusted. Maybe he is with the French."
The vice-captain looked serious and stared fiercely ahead, like a hungry wolf.
The bald pirate shook his head slightly and said with certainty: "The people on the other side's ship are all yellow-skinned. Such people are Chinese and cannot be accomplices of the French. Don't you know China? They are very powerful and very defensive." Creditworthy.”
Seeing the deputy captain's puzzled expression, the bald pirate captain continued: "One of my original brothers stayed in China for a while, and later became a pirate with me, so I know a little bit, and I also know that there is a relationship between China and France. Qiu, the French army attacked China and was defeated one after another at the hands of Chinese President Li Zhen. It is impossible for the two sides to cooperate."
"What should we do?" asked the deputy captain.
The bald pirate captain said loudly: "I, Teach, believe in the Chinese and their character. I pass the order, turn the guns, and order the soldiers to run towards the French warship and prepare for battle."
The vice-captain ordered all the pirates in the small boat to turn around and head straight for the French warship.
After Li Zhen saw it through the telescope, joy suddenly appeared on his face.
The pirate leader is a smart man.
Both sides unanimously targeted the French warship, and the combined strength was undoubtedly powerful. When the French warship entered the range of Li Zhen's battleship cannon, the artillery on the ship immediately fired. Only a rumble was heard, one after another. One shell after another flew out across the sky and landed on the French warship.
"Rumble,,."
The shell exploded and the warship immediately burst into flames, sending out billowing smoke.
Such an attack stunned the captain of the French warship.
He hadn't revealed his identity yet, so why did the other party suddenly attack? Especially when the other party was still exchanging fire with the pirates, why did it suddenly change the target of the attack? The captain of the French warship was confused and had to order a counterattack.
However, Li Zhen's warship had powerful firepower. Under the fierce bombardment, and with the assistance of pirates, the French warship had no room for counterattack. It was soon on the verge of desperation and could no longer fight. The French warship's The captain had no choice but to order the soldiers to hoist the white flag and surrender. In less than ten minutes, the French warship surrendered, making the pirate captain swallow his saliva.
At the same time, he was also frightened by the firepower displayed by Li Zhen.
If the two sides were fighting each other and the other side attacked with such artillery fire as soon as they came up, would his big ship still exist? For a moment, the pirate leader felt uneasy and full of fear of Li Zhen's warship.
Li Zhen ordered: "Send a message to the pirate. If he has the courage, I will hand over the French warship to him."
The soldier immediately sent a message. When the bald pirate captain got the news, he was extremely excited. He looked at the deputy captain next to him and said: "Look, look, he is indeed a Chinese soldier. He is wealthy and doesn't care about French warships. Let's go." By occupying the French warships and taking down the opponent's guns, our strength can be improved again."
The vice-captain said: "Captain, I heard that the Chinese are very cunning. Could it be that they let us pass deliberately, and then want to attack us again when we are unprepared?"
The captain glared at the vice-captain and said: "Too much nonsense. In one sentence, I'm going to go to the French warship."
"Go, go."
The vice-captain looked at the warship with the French flag and a look of greed on his face. He no longer hesitated and kept ordering the pirates to take small boats to the French warship. In less than half an hour, one by one, The disheveled pirates have captured the French warships and taken over the French warships.
Li Zhen ordered: "Ask the pirates if they want to fight."
After the soldier in charge of the semaphore sent the message, the bald pirate captain Teach immediately said: "Send the message, no more fighting, I will go there in person to apologize for what happened before."
"Captain, your brain must be burned out," the vice-captain said immediately.
Going to the opponent's warship in person is like putting a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
The bald pirate captain patted the deputy captain's face and said with a smile: "Do you know why I am the captain? It's because my brain is different from yours. Yours is a lump of wood. Mine was given by God. In this situation, It is clear that we cannot defeat the other party, but the Chinese warships did not open fire to attack us, which means that the other party does not mind our identity as pirates and does not want to destroy the pirates. The Chinese are powerful and we cannot defeat them. In this case, why I don’t want to make a friend.”
"The captain is wise." The vice-captain gave a thumbs up and praised.
The bald pirate captain ordered: "Prepare a bottle of fine red wine, and I will go and make amends."
After hearing this, each of the pirates looked at the pirate captain in surprise, but they were impressed by the courage shown by the bald pirate captain. A small boat was placed on the sea, and the bald pirate captain got off the boat and headed towards the battleship where Li Zhen was. Li Zhen learned that the pirate captain was coming to the battleship to apologize, and he became more interested in this island.
This guy is a bit interesting.
Not long after, the pirate captain arrived under Li Zhen's battleship.
Li Zhen asked someone to put down the ladder. After the pirate captain climbed up the ladder, he opened his arms and asked people to search. After the soldiers searched, the pirate captain's eyes fell on Li Zhen and said in English: "Dear sir, my name is Teach. Pirates in this area, I asked my men to attack you earlier. This was a beautiful misunderstanding. Please forgive me."
"sit."
Li Zhen spoke fluent English, which surprised Teach.
After Teach sat down, he heard Li Zhen say: "Captain Teach is a smart man. I like to deal with such people. Even if Captain Teach doesn't take the initiative to come over, I will still communicate with Captain Teach."
Tiqi looked curious and began to wonder in his heart, what did this person want to do with him?
Could it be that he wanted to conquer him?
When he thought of this, Tiqi's expression immediately changed, and he said seriously: "If you want me to submit to you, I think this is impossible. I am a pirate who advocates freedom and adventure, and I don't like to be subject to punishment." constraint."
Li Zhen shook his head slightly, making Tiqi confused again.
