1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 305 The Provocation of the Smuggling Ship

“Captain, there is a Spanish cruiser following over there.” First Mate Edward Titch said to Captain Adoc, “Follow very closely. Do we need to speed up to get rid of them?”

“Let the Spanish stupid birds follow first.” Captain Adok sipped out the cigar butt that was only half of the smoke left, and then smashed it with his foot on it, crushing the sparks on the cigarette butt. “This is the high seas. We are flying the United States of America’s Stars and Stripes, and we are not far from the base of the navy of Dog Day and the coastal anti-smuggling team. The group of Spaniards with shit in their heads eat shit. Dare to get nervous here? Don’t be busy, take them slowly, and when it’s dark, we throw off the gang of silly hats full of sawdust, it’s easier than throwing off a worn-out lady !”

Captain Adoc has such confidence that it is not without reason that he can get rid of the Spanish cruiser as soon as it gets dark. It is not the hurricane season, and the sea conditions in the Caribbean Sea are quite good, with calm waves. Therefore, the freeboard of ships that only need to be active in the Caribbean Sea can be very low, and the height of the entire ship can naturally be lowered. In contrast, the Spanish cruiser cannot be built or overhauled in Cuba. It must have the ability to sail across the Atlantic. The Atlantic Ocean has high winds and high waves. If the freeboard is too low, it is easy to get into the water or something. Therefore, the freeboard of the Spanish cruiser is relatively high, and the height of the entire ship is much higher than that of the smuggler of Ador. Therefore, when Captain Ador looked at the Spanish cruiser, he was looking up at each other, and when the Spanish cruiser was looking at Captain Ador’s Mississippi Slut, he was looking down at each other.

This difference in perspective certainly does not cause any major problems during the day. Although Captain Ador painted his boat blue in an insignificant way, trying to hide it in the background of the ocean, but as long as the Spanish boat is on board The lookout post works harder and more carefully, and you can still find it. But once it comes to night, as the light diminishes, the originally blue sea will become pitch black. In contrast, the sky with confidence and the moon became a relatively bright background. From the perspective of the smuggling ship at a lower position, it is easier to spot with the brighter sky as the background; but from the Spanish cruiser looking down on the “Mississippi Slut” of Ador, the problem arises. At this time, the ship will be completely integrated into the thick darkness of the sea. Finding it under such conditions is like looking for a black ship in a coal warehouse at night. It’s as difficult as a cat. Precisely because of this, Ador’s way to deal with these Spanish cruisers is to first take it to the United States naval base for rotation. Throw them off when it gets dark.

“Edward, when the business is over, you and I will go to Tallahassee (the capital of Florida).” Adok took a sip from a tin wine bottle from his jacket pocket. Then hand it to First Mate Edward: “Come on?”

“Thank you, I’m not used to being too strong.” Edward remembered the damn vodka called the water of life that Captain Adok had given him last time. It was completely alcohol. What’s more terrible is that the taste of the thing at the entrance is similar to that of water, so Edward habitually took a big sip, and then lay down directly under the table.

“It’s okay. This is not the kind of cute vodka. I don’t have much of that thing. I have to save a little. This is Cuban rum, which is much softer than the one I gave you last time. It’s just over forty degrees, but at most fifty degrees. But this is not Alaska, and you don’t need such a high number of wines to keep out the cold. This wine is also good, the key is that it’s cheap and you want as many as you want.” Adoc said.

“Really?” Edward took the hip flask and smelled it. It was indeed the smell of rum. So he poured a sceptical mouthful into his mouth, then distinguished it carefully, and then poured another big mouthful into his mouth.

“Captain, what can I do to Tallahassee?” Edward asked.

“Some friends who work at sea and I organized a’Seafarers’ Alcoholism Association’. This is our inaugural meeting and our first event. We are going to elect a president, directors, supervisors and so on. I am a candidate for president. One, maybe, no, most of the chairman is me.” Captain Adok said with a little triumph.

“Captain? You, are you the most popular candidate for the chairman of the’Seafarers’ Alcohol Association’?” Edward felt that the world had become unreal.

“Actually, I don’t want to engage in such a thing. It’s just that some idiots who begged their wives will be controlled by those women, and they can’t drink alcohol at home—this bunch of useless stinky fish! These guys have no choice but to do it. I ran out to drink, and I was afraid that my wife would not let them out, so I made such a name to deceive those silly ladies. But to say, this thing is too expensive. It is not a bad thing to really stop drinking.” Captain Adok took another sip of rum.

“Captain, it’s hard to stop drinking,” Edward said.

“Who said that?” said Captain Adok. “There is nothing easier in the world than to stop drinking. I stop drinking at least four times a day. Well, generally I can drink four bottles of this thing a day, every time I drink it. I would quit a bottle of wine for several hours.”

“Captain, you are so funny, if you want to say that, I have been on a hunger strike every day for at least 20 hours.” Edward laughed.

“Captain! The Spaniard sent a signal asking us to stop the ship for inspection.” A crew member yelled to Captain Adoc.

“Shit! Don’t bother about these slave traders, the worms on the sea! Continue to sail normally.” Captain Adock replied irritably.

At this time, the Spaniard’s cruiser was approaching, and the waves from the warship made the “Mississippi Slut” shake.

“This is the cruiser “Isabella” of the Kingdom of Spain. We ask you to stop the ship for inspection immediately!” A huge voice rang.

“Fuck him! These bugs can actually use our inventions from the United States! They are still evolving!” Captain Adock cursed.

Since Scrooge’s McDonald Electric invented the loudspeaker, this kind of thing has quickly become popular on patrol ships of various countries. After all, with this, it is much more convenient to talk.

“Dog things, don’t teach them a lesson! They don’t know why America is called America!” Captain Adock drank the rum in the hip flask and rushed into the cabin. Soon there was a roar of Captain Adok from the high-pitched bell of the “Mississippi Slut”:

“Listen to the Spanish bitch over there. This is the United States of America cargo ship’Mississippi Slut’, and daddy is the captain Adok. Remember! daddy sails freely in public waters. This is daddy’s power! Yes! If you plant it, shoot at the daddy. If you don’t plant it, you will die! Don’t be like a twat in daddy’s place!”

This violent voice rippled round and round like water waves, and the whole sea seemed to be rippling with the sharp taunts of Captain Adok. The crew of the “Mississippi Slut” listened to it. They were taken aback, and then burst into laughter. While laughing, they yelled at the Spaniard’s warship. Several crew members even stood on the side of the ship, took off their pants, and peeed toward the Spanish warship.

“These savages!” Fernan, the captain of the Spanish cruiser, was almost mad, almost, really just a little bit, he was going to order the damn savages to be fired. If the one who dared to yell at him was a Cuban, or Colombian, Mexican, or other country guy, Fernan would dare to swear in the name of the Virgin Mary, he must teach him severely, first of all with artillery fire. The ship’s superstructure was washed once, and then soldiers were sent aboard the ship, grabbed the guy with the big mouth, and then broke its belly and pulled its intestines out. Then use its intestines to pinch its neck and pull it hard, heh, the whole tongue is sticking out! Then go up and down the knife! Wow! The whole world is clean.

But, but… this is a United States ship, and United States is not a vulnerable country like Colombia or Mexico. Although Fernan firmly believes that the power of the Spanish empire is far stronger than that of the United States, he also knows that, at least in the Caribbean, the power of the United States navy surpasses own. Last week, the fast cruiser of the United States went to Havana for a so-called friendly visit…Although Fernan is very confident, he really wants to fight against that kind of warship. Well, Fernan thinks he still loves peace. of.

Two days ago, Fernan’s warships also encountered the US fleet of fast cruisers in this area. When these steel warships passed by him at a speed of 20 knots, he wondered if he was dazzled. This location is very close to an anchorage of the United States Navy. The damn smuggling ship has an antenna erected above it. This shows that they have a medium wave radio station. At this distance, the signal from the medium wave radio station can easily be taken by the United States. Received over from States. If you really fired at this United States ship, unless the first shot can knock off the antenna, this matter will definitely be known to the United States people, and then the United States will definitely retaliate, even maybe they have been there for a long time. Waiting for this opportunity.

“Captain, the United States anti-smuggling ship was found on the starboard side!” shouted from the lookout.

Captain Fernan looked towards the starboard side, and as expected, a small boat with the United States flag was coming slowly.

After taking a few deep breaths, Captain Fernan said: “We are not as knowledgeable as barbarians. Let’s go further.”
