Fox of France

Chapter 138: , The smuggling ship

Under Joseph's flick, Vibitsky took out all the money within his authority. Wibicki also complained that Toulon was so remote that he couldn't find a Jew who could loan usury. (Actually, Toulon originally existed, but it was killed by Cudon once and harvested by Fouché again. It hasn't grown out yet.)

  Joseph also introduced to Wibicki that he also has technical training related to guerrilla warfare. If the Poles are willing to pay, they can also provide services such as military technical training. Wibicki was also very interested in this. The two signed the contract, Vibitsky paid half of the deposit, agreed on the approximate time and location of the delivery, and left the contact information, and then left.

   Joseph arranged for production, while letting people find Napoleon.

   After Napoleon came, Joseph explained the matter to Napoleon in detail, and Napoleon said:

"It's not difficult to send things to Denmark. Although your black pearls are bumped in the sea, our people have also traveled to Norway several times (to buy caustic). The North Sea is windy and waves, but it is actually not impossible to run. . It’s just that you said to provide military training to others, do we have this project?"

   "No." Joseph said, "But Napoleon, when you see that the opportunity to make money is there, don't you think it's a waste of opportunity if you don't make it back? Besides, we really need money now, don't we?"

"Then you mean, we are now forming such a team?" Napoleon said, "but time may not be too late. Those Poles, I don't like them very much, even if you put so many things in their heads , But I am not at all optimistic that they can achieve these things. The things you mentioned sound simple, but we all know how high organizational skills are needed to achieve it. Rely on these Poles? I am not optimistic about them. They are not Suvonov's opponents."

   Speaking of this, Napoleon shook his head.

"I also know that, maybe in a few months, up to next year, they will collapse in the military." Joseph said, "but if guerrilla warfare can be started, even if it is not successful, it can be delayed. Our enemies, and create more wealth for us. As for the training of personnel..."

   Joseph thought for a while and said: "After the Red Army returns to the construction, you still have contact with those in the Red Army, right?"

   "Yes, they are all our old men. How can there be no contact?" Napoleon replied.

"Nowadays, their lives must not be so easy. Moreover, Kano has no funds in his hands for them to sharpen the army through actual combat exercises. Throwing them on the battlefield, Kano is reluctant; for normal use, he can't afford it. . Therefore, we can definitely propose to him that we will pay and rent some soldiers from the Red Army to come back and do this. You see, this way, the problem will not be solved?"

   "Well, Joseph, this is indeed a good way!" Napoleon's eyes lit up and said quickly.

   According to the signed contract, more than a month later, Vibicki came to the "Bonaparte Institute" again. He will follow the smuggling ship, **** the goods, and go to sea together to Denmark.

   This is the first important foreign client of the Bonaparte Institute, so Joseph and Bonaparte have attached great importance to this operation. To this end, they arranged the best smuggling ship and the best sailors.

"Mr. Wibicki, this is our best captain-Captain Van der Deyken. He is from the Netherlands and doesn't know much French. He only speaks lowland and English. But he is our best The captain of, in this world, when it comes to sailing, the Dutch are always the best." Joseph introduced the captain of the "Flying" that had been arranged for them to Vibitsky.

   "Hello, Captain Deken." Wibecki said in English to the Dutch who looked a little flat. He noticed that the captain had only one eye.

"It's nice to meet you, sir. I welcome you to join us on behalf of all the sailors." The captain of the one-eyed dragon tried his best to show his kind smile to welcome his passengers, he smiled haha, and the sun shone in and opened him. His big mouth, his big golden teeth are shining.

   Vibitsky knew that many smuggling ships in France were actually pirate ships before. The people on the ship, from the captain to the sailor, are also vicious pirates. Later, the revolutionary government needed to carry out smuggling activities before recruiting them. Now I look at Captain Deaken’s one-eyed, and look at the sailors next to him. They all don’t look like good people. In his heart, Verbicki gave the captain and his sailors a "pirate". "s Mark.

   The goods were all loaded on the ship under the witness of Vibicki, and Vibecki followed Captain Dyke on board. This boat is a typical flying shear sailboat. Compared with the original "Black Pearl", this boat is slightly enlarged, but it is still only five or six hundred tons. The ship is not big, so Captain Dyke took Vibitsky around the cargo ship, and it didn't take ten minutes.

   Captain Dyke finally took Wibitsky to his guest room.

   "Mr. Wibicki, this is your room." Captain Dyke opened the door and said to him, "Our boat is small and the space is limited, so it is very crowded. You have to be patient."

   In order to lower the center of gravity of this ship, almost all the cabins are below the deck, so the cabins are extremely dark. With the help of the lantern in the hands of the captain, Wibicki saw that the so-called room was actually as small as a pigeon cage. There is only one bed about one meter wide in the room. If a person sits on the bed, the door cannot be closed.

   There are two red bands on the bed, very conspicuous.

"Our boat is very bumpy at sea. Sometimes it even throws people up. So when you sleep, you need to use these two ropes to tie yourself to the bed, which is safer." Captain Dyke explained .

   "Then, there will be nothing wrong with those little melons, right?" Hearing this, Vibitsky immediately thought of the little melons on the boat.

   "Ah, those little melons are tightly trapped. After all, we are also afraid of death." Captain Dyke laughed.

   It seemed to be in a good mood to meet Captain Dyke, and Verbicki asked again: "Why didn't I see the cannon when I was on the ship?"

  In this era, almost all ocean-going ships will be equipped with a certain number of cannons. Because this era is still the era of rampant pirates. Although there is law and order on the land, the vast sea is still a dark forest. Those who haunt the waterway even received official support (the British, Spaniards, in order to combat France, allowed civilian ships to attack and capture ships flying the French flag. Of course, the French did the same, allowing any civilian ships to attack and capture any flying Ships carrying the flags of countries that are at war with France, such as the United Kingdom.) Not to mention, it is common for ordinary merchant ships to act as pirates after encountering ships that are obviously weaker than their own.

   Therefore, any cargo ship on a long voyage must bring a few cannons to protect itself.

   "Our ship doesn't need cannons. Of course there is no way to install cannons. You will understand after we set sail for a while." Captain Dyke replied.

   "Can I go and see how this boat moves in a while?" Wibecki asked.

   "Yes, you can come with me now. Besides, can you swim?" Captain Dyke asked suddenly.

"Will do."

   "That's fine. You can swim, you can go on the deck. But if you go out of the Strait of Gibraltar, under normal circumstances, don't go on the deck casually." Captain Dyke said.

   "Then you follow me."

  ……

   That afternoon, "Flying" left the dock and sailed into the sea. After only an hour of sailing, the watch sent a warning: "Spanish warship found! Spanish warship found!"

   Wibicki suddenly became nervous, he looked around, but saw nothing. Looking at the sailors on the ship again, they found that they were all nervous, and they were still doing what they were supposed to do, and they didn't seem to be affected at all.

"What a group of thugs!" Vibicki put a sticker on the sailors in his heart, then turned his head and asked Captain Dyke who was pouring brandy into his mouth: "Captain, where is the enemy's warship? ,is that OK?"

   "Hey, over there..." Captain Dyke indifferently pointed his hand in the direction of starboard. Seeing Vibitsky stretched his neck and opened his eyes, he handed him a brass telescope again, "Over there, in the direction of two o'clock."

   Vibicki took the telescope, leaned against the fence next to the steering wheel, and continued to look over there, and he saw some white sails.

"From the mast, it is a Spanish frigate." Captain Dyke knew that Vibitsky was unfamiliar with things at sea, so he explained, "The frigate is a relatively small ship with about forty cannons. But the speed is relatively fast. But it does not matter, this thing is not a threat to us."

At this time, the three masts of the Spanish frigate were completely exposed to the sea level, and then, the mighty hull was also revealed... However, after a while, even Vibitsky could see that the Spanish patrol The ship did not approach here at all, but continued to follow its original course, as if they hadn't seen the "Flying".

   "How can this be possible? The Flying is not a big ship, but the mast is very high, and the sails are spectacular. They can't miss it." Vibicki couldn't help asking.

"They have chased us before, knowing that they can't catch up, so they don't want to waste their efforts." Captain Dyke said, "We are at least four to five knots faster than them. Even if they break the mast, they cannot follow us. They chased us like a tortoise trying to catch up with a rabbit. No, it’s like a tortoise trying to catch up with a seagull flying in the sky. It’s a waste of effort. It’s me and me too. Won't chase."

   Like Captain Dyke said, the Spaniards didn't mean to chase them at all, and none of the gun windows on their deck opened. Vibitsky even saw through the telescope that there were sailors on the Spanish ship waving to this side.

   "Now you know why we don't have to install cannons, right?" Captain Dyke said to Vibitsky proudly. At the same time, he took off the feathered hat on his head and waved to the Spaniard.

   "Understood, understood." Vibicki nodded, "This is really a good boat, it's a miracle boat."

   "Ah, is that right? I hope you will think so after passing Gibraltar." Captain Dyke put his hat back on his head and said.

  ……

   It was late at night when the "Flying" crossed the Strait of Gibraltar. This is the gateway from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. It is also one of the most important military bases of the Royal Navy. Unlike the Spaniards, British people who are like mad dogs often know that they can't catch up with you and will chase them like mad dogs. Captain Dyke also liked to deliberately run around with those British guys at first, but now he already feels that such untechnical dog games are no longer interesting at all. He even wonders if the British are not. Training sailors by chasing them. So now he is more willing to break through at night. The province is free as a sparring partner for the British.

   As soon as "Flying" left Gibraltar, Vibitsky immediately understood what Captain Dyke had said to him.

At that time, Vibitz had basically fallen asleep in his little bed, and the slight shaking of the boat even made him feel very comfortable. In his dream, he returned to his childhood, returned to his mother’s arms, and his mother held him. Shaking gently...

Then ~www.readwn.com~ the mother in his dream became a father with a beard. He threw little Vibicki into the sky, caught him gently, and then threw him up again. Then... he missed it, snapped, and woke up Vibitsky.

It was pitch black and there was nothing to see. He could only feel that the ship was pushed up high in the sky, then fell down again, back and forth, and swayed violently. Vibicki only felt dizzy and dizzy. I spit up with a wow...

   The next morning, Vibitsky, who was vomiting softly all over, saw Captain Dyke again. But this time he was lying on his own bed, and Captain Dyke was standing next to him with the doctor on board.

   "Hey, Mr. Vibicki, what, are you getting seasick?" Captain Dyke smiled, "This ship is like this. In order to run fast, you must accept such shortcomings."

   "I originally thought, in the future... vomit vomit vomit..." Before he finished speaking, Vibicki retched again.

   "We have a potion for seasickness on board, you can drink a little..." Captain Dyke said.

   After the ship fainted for several days, Vibitsky was barely better. He could even barely get up and came to the captain's room. It was also here. He saw a wave coming and the sea rushing straight along the deck.

   "Don't worry, this ship is okay." Captain Dyke said, "This is normal."

   "Ah, I understand why this ship can't be equipped with cannons..." Vibicki said.
