Facing Sean Bradley, Bruce didn't tell the truth at all.
Bruce's goal is not to grab things at all, his real purpose is to make trouble for the San Diego Investment Company, if in the process, he can make a fortune by hugging the rabbit, of course Bruce doesn't mind, but if he can't get it, as long as he can create some trouble for the San Diego Investment Company, it won't be a loss.
The starting points of the two are completely different, so no matter how they go around, it will definitely not be a happy situation for everyone in the end.
At 10 p.m., looking at the pitch-black Nassau Harbor, Bruce finally ordered the pirates to go.
The night of the Steam Age was lackluster, and the whole of Nassau Harbor was shrouded in darkness, and a slightly sultry fishy sea breeze blew, faintly mixed with the sound of singing and laughter and the smell of rum, which excited all the pirates.
In all literary works, pirates are portrayed as a group of happy revenge, we drink in big bowls, eat meat in large pieces, and divide the gold in large scales, which is really chic.
In fact, it is far from the case, it is true that there are days when there are big bowls of wine and large pieces of meat, but such days do not happen every day, it is normal to catch up once a few months a year, and more often, the pirates are short of clothes and less clothes, and they are panicked, and they do not see any hope for the future, they can only live one day at a time.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, pirates were treated with extermination, and if they were caught, the only fate that awaited them was to be hanged on the dock.
So the pirates are standard to tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and they don't have any entertainment on the sea, so many pirates are brutal and abnormal, and they can't be described as normal killing, but cruel torture.
The British Royal Navy is gradually evolved from such a group of pirates, don't look at the current British Royal Navy is the most powerful navy in the world, and the addition of the word "royal" sounds unspeakable, in fact, this is a group of pirate descendants, their ancestors committed countless crimes, but in recent years, the British Royal Navy has also been successfully whitewashed ashore, which has become a naval model in the world.
As an active officer of the British Royal Navy, Bruce is finally a little stronger than his grandfather's grandfather, although Bruce's pirates are also complex, there are regular British Royal Navy, civilian sailors recruited by Bruce, and old bandits who were adopted by Bruce, but under Bruce's strict requirements, these people can finally abide by the rules before, even if they kill people, they will give people a pleasure.
However, tonight was different, when the pirates set out, Bruce gave the standard of "casual", which means that after the capture of Nassau Harbor, the pirates can do whatever they want, they can grab the best women and drink the most beautiful wine.
Stimulated by women and wine, one can imagine how excited these pirates were.
Within a nautical mile of the harbor of Nassau, the pirates were divided into two parts, one attacking the merchant ships anchored in the harbor of Nassau, and the other part would land in the harbor of Nassau, whose mission was to prevent the sailors of the merchant ships from escaping.
As for possible reinforcements in Nassau, Bruce did not have any arrangements, which meant that the merchant ships in the harbor would not receive any assistance this evening.
Under normal circumstances, merchant ships berthing in ports are subject to paying taxes, so the port should also give merchant ships due protection.
The San Diego Investment Company's merchant ships have paid sufficient taxes when they enter the Port of Nassau, so the Port of Nassau should protect the safety of the San Diego Investment Company's merchant ships.
If the San Diego Investment Company's merchant ships were to be ransacked tonight and there was no reaction from the Port of Nassau, it would surely undermine the credibility of the Governor of Nassau, so Bruce would give Sean Bradley an extra sum of money.
It was pitch black in Nassau Harbor, and the docks in the Poltinia, where more than a dozen merchant ships were docked, looked as usual and unguarded.
The Santa Cruz is moored at the outermost side of the dock, and in terms of height and length, it is much larger than other merchant ships, which makes the Santa Cruz look particularly majestic in the dark.
"Brethren, cheer up, tonight is Redbeard's last chance, so Redbeard will definitely come, we have been holding back in the cabin for so long, this is the moment we have been waiting for."
Xing Ye was pacing back and forth on the deck of the "Santa Cruz", and on both sides of the ship around him, forty or fifty heavily armed soldiers were waiting in formation.
The two armed merchant ships, the "Sea Hound" and the "Great White Shark," are on their way from Guantanamo to the port of Nassau, and the "Sea Ranger" has already set off from Grand Bahama Island.
When Redbeard was looking for an opportunity to attack the merchant ships of the San Diego Investment Company, Li Fei had also been looking for traces of Redbeard, and after more than a month of investigation, although Li Fei was still not sure where Redbeard was and who Redbeard was, Li Fei had already determined that Redbeard and Sean Bradley must have some degree of relationship.
This is enough for Li Fei to do something to the Governor's Palace, Li Fei is not a judge, and a person who is sentenced to death does not need evidence, only suspicion is enough.
Of course, Li Fei will not attack Nassau City under the banner of San Diego Investment Company, Redbeard is a good excuse, and after the capture of Nassau City, if there is no evidence of Sean Bradley and Redbeard's collusion, then Li Fei will frame all this on Redbeard, and Redbeard will not be able to confront Li Fei in court anyway.
"Master Xing, an unknown ship has entered the breakwater."
David Lee hurriedly came to report.
The big war is imminent, and David Lee can't stay out of it, if Redbeard is coming, he will definitely come out, and David Lee will also contribute as much as he can.
"Okay, let them in, act according to the original plan, as long as they dare to come, let's close the door and beat the dogs."
Xing Ye subconsciously looked in the direction of the breakwater, but unfortunately it was too dark and he couldn't see anything.
The natural conditions of the port of Nassau are still very good, there is enough water depth, and there are long enough wharves for civilian use, but because the defense facilities are not good enough, it cannot be used as a military port.
The reason why Guantanamo can be used as a military port is because it has a long and narrow entrance, and at the entrance can be built a fort and calmly arrange defense facilities, so Guantanamo can be used as a military port.
The port of Nassau is deep, but because it has no depth, it can only build a breakwater on the periphery, so the port of Nassau can only be used as a civilian port.
In other words, the port of Nassau is a gourd, and the entrance to the breakwater is the mouth of the gourd, as long as this gourd mouth is blocked, no matter how many boats are turtles in the urn.
It's easy to block the mouth of the gourd, you don't even need artillery, you only need to arrange two heavy machine guns for the rainstorm, which is enough to be a husband and a man.
The ships of these years are all wooden boats, and there are very few of them wrapped in an iron hulle, and the wooden boat is enough to fight the waves, but it is not enough to see in front of heavy machine guns.
Besides, how strong a wooden ship can a pirate be, even if Bruce has the ability, he doesn't dare to directly get two warships and replace the rice flag with a skeleton flag.
When the ship entered the breakwater, Bruce was still a little hesitant, looking at the long breakwater and the shadowy giant ship in the distance, Bruce felt a palpitation, as if the long breakwater was like a giant tooth in the mouth of a tiger, which would swallow his hundreds of pirates in one bite.
"There's a fire on the shore, Mr.
Stone has already done it," someone shouted uncontrollably excitedly, interrupting Bruce's suspicions.
"Rush up, rush up" Someone was urging repeatedly, I'm afraid I can't get anything if I slow down.
In a moment's astonishment, Bruce's pirate ship crossed the breakwater and entered the harbor of Nassau.
Stone had indeed already done it, he was not as cautious as Bruce, and as soon as the pirate ship landed, Stone drew his long sword and jumped ashore first.
Although the importance of cold weapons has become less and less important since the popularity of hot weapons, the most trustworthy thing in the eyes of the stone is always the long sword in his hand, and the stone always carries the long sword to jump on the merchant ships, and then cut off the heads of those shivering sailors.

Pirates are called "pirates" at sea, and they are a group of bandits when they go ashore, and there is no need to emphasize any military discipline and military law at this time.
An army without the constraints of military law can only be described as a "beast army".
Perhaps it was because the days on the ship had been too long, and the pirates scattered as soon as they came ashore and pounced on their ideal target.
Exclamations and screams were immediately heard, followed by gunshots, and the scene was out of control as soon as the battle began.
"Stone, we must now take control of the docks and prevent those sailors from escaping from the docks."
Henderson still remembers Bruce's request, Bruce was afraid that Stone's men would get out of control, so he sent Henderson to Stone's side and reminded Stone at all times.
"Hahahaha" Stone laughed maniacally and kicked a pirate who was chasing a naked woman who was crying for help and running around like a headless fly.
"Don't worry, Henderson, no one can escape from me" The stone picked up the woman by the waist, raised his foot and kicked through a house on the side of the road, and after only two short screams, only the woman's howl remained.
"Stone, you're going to be upset about Bruce like this."
Henderson is still making his final efforts.
"Wait for me for a minute" Shi Shi is not only a fast knife hand, but also a fast gunner, in just two sentences, Shi has already walked out of the house with his pants, and it is estimated that it has not taken long to take off his clothes.
Henderson looked surprised, put on an expression of disbelief and shook his head repeatedly, probably he didn't expect the stone to be so fast.
"Okay, let's go" The stone swaggered, casually threw the oil lamp in his hand on the roof, and the raging fire suddenly rose into the sky.
Darkness magnifies evil in people's hearts to the fullest, and the stone fire is like opening a dark door, and the other pirates are immediately following suit, and the fire is spreading rapidly.
With the help of the firelight, Henderson was surprised to find that there was no one on the dock boardwalk.
This was indeed an accident, and in Henderson's vision, the sailors on the merchant ship would be scattered at the sound of gunfire, and Henderson and the others only needed to set up a pocket array on the dock to wipe out the panicked sailors.
Now the situation is different, obviously the port side has burned, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the gunfire is getting more and more intensive, and the merchant ships in the port are like half empty, without the slightest movement, this situation is a bit abnormal.
"Ha, are all those monkeys already asleep, and there is really no challenge to deal with such an enemy" Stone also noticed the situation on the dock, but Stone was obviously optimistic, and did not think about it at all.
"It doesn't have to be a stone, you'd better gather the brethren and get them ready."
Henderson's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, those merchant ships on the docks, even if no one escaped, should at least light lanterns and torches or something to check, no matter what, it is impossible to be as silent as now.
When Henderson felt strange, so did Bruce.
In terms of distance, Bruce was closer to the merchant ships on the docks, so Bruce's observation was more detailed.
The gunfire and fire in the dark night were the most penetrating, and even Bruce noticed the movement on the docks, and there was no reason why the people on the ship didn't notice.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the attendant on a certain ship slept lazily and didn't notice the movement on the dock, it couldn't be that more than a dozen ships didn't notice it.
Although there are many doubts, the pirate ship that Bruce is riding is still approaching the "Santa Cruz" merchant ship step by step, Bruce is very impressed by this ship, he has seen countless sketches and photos of the "Santa Cruz" in recent days, and even Bruce has been disguised to observe closely, so Bruce has been very familiar with everything about the "Brooks".
Compared to the tall "Santa Cruz", the pirate ship is like a small sampan, with a height of nearly four meters, which can make ordinary people despair.
However, this little thing is difficult for the pirates, after all, they rely on this for food, and without Bruce's orders, one of the pirates bends down and picks up a prepared iron anchor, and throws the iron anchor onto the "Santa Cruz" with a shake of his hand.
Although he had to shoot on the edge, Bruce would definitely not be the first to get on it, and the pirate who threw the iron anchor just now casually pulled out a short knife and bit it in his mouth, and the rifle behind his back was pulled like a monkey and climbed up like a monkey.
But this time it was like a meat bun beating a dog, and Bruce clearly saw the pirate turn over and jump onto the side of the "Brooks", but he waited for a long time and did not hear any movement
