Chapter 1391 Sustainability

In the port of Tortuga, Zeng Yunfeng looked at the world map on the table in front of him, thinking silently.

Right now, the world is in disarray.It was far more chaotic than Zeng Yunfeng imagined.

Since the end of the third Anglo-Dutch war, the world has been divided into colonies by various countries, and the most advanced is the United Kingdom.

Since the end of the war between Spain and the Netherlands, Spain has been in a slump, and they can only maintain a few colonies. After the Netherlands was defeated in the third Anglo-Dutch war, it also gradually became weak in the battle with the British army in various places.

The British army has achieved many victories in India, Africa and other places. Under the instruction of the British high-level, Cutler Beckett came to the Caribbean without hesitation.

To the north of the Caribbean Sea, the entire east coast of North America is almost the sphere of influence of the British.

After Zeng Yunfeng decided to fight against the British Navy, the problems he faced were very difficult.

After all, he is only a sea force and a pirate. He has no way of receiving extensive assistance like on land, and there is no way for him to have a steady stream of support like Britain, France, and the Netherlands.

Even if Zeng Yunfeng used Gris Allen to carry out white-glove PY operations in Europe, there was no way to make up for the lack of population.

After all, fighting will kill people, Zeng Yunfeng knows this very well, even if Zeng Yunfeng tries his best to avoid confrontation with the navies of various countries in naval battles, he cannot avoid death in battle and the invasion of diseases.

Under the firepower of hot weapons, many people would die due to body inflammation, and there was no way for him to completely avoid the various infectious diseases that appeared at sea.

This also caused Zeng Yunfeng's future combat power to gradually weaken due to the influence of time.

But when Zeng Yunfeng looked at the non-equilateral triangle route on the map, he had a plan in mind.

In the black slave trade from Europe to America, most of the white people came out to pan for gold, while most of the black slaves traded on board ships from Africa to America were oppressed.

Zeng Yunfeng naturally had a corresponding plan in his heart, and his troops would definitely be born from these two types of people.

The first wave were white sailors hoping to make a fortune on the seas, and these people were undoubtedly greedy and had no loyalty at all.

And the other wave of people are people who have awakened from many black slaves like Buddy the Black.

It's not complicated to fire a gun, it's not complicated to fire a gun, and simple sailor training isn't that complicated either.

Zeng Yunfeng believes that although these black people have never been exposed to these things, once they are given two options, they will naturally choose.

One is to be taken as slaves, and finally to work to death, and the other is to give them a chance to stand up and truly be their own masters.

Zeng Yunfeng believes that as long as black people have some brains, they will understand which path they should choose.

In the Atlantic Ocean, there is a famous pirate king called Jokad. He escaped from the black slaves and finally became a pirate against the navies of various countries.

Although judging from the current situation, Jokad's power cannot compete with several countries at all, whether it is the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Spain, or even Portugal, the sailors and warships of these countries are all These pirates are not comparable.

In the entire Atlantic Ocean, the power of these European powers is far higher than that of pirates, which is an important reason why the pirates in the Caribbean Sea where Jack Sparrow is located are gradually being eliminated.

Most of the sailors on Jack Sparrow's ship are also white, which is also a huge shortcoming, which prevents the pirate forces from being replenished.

As far as Zeng Yunfeng knew, the black slave trade lasted for more than four hundred years, and countless blacks who were transported to America died at sea during these four hundred years.

It is definitely enough to use these people to make up for the lack of sailors at sea. He believes that he will be able to completely control this route in the near future.

Although Zeng Yunfeng did not intend to control the route from Europe to Africa, two routes in the black slave trade triangle pass through the Caribbean Sea.

One of them is from Africa to the Americas, and the other is to return to Europe with a large amount of raw materials from the Americas. Both of these routes are hugely profitable.

At least the harvest in the past few months is enough to explain the problem. Zeng Yunfeng obtained a large amount of supplies by plundering merchant ships.

He sold these large quantities of materials, made a lot of profits, and then fed back the pirate fleet to fill firearms and guns.

But another trouble came. With the arrival of the British Royal Navy and East India Company Beckett, things began to change.

With the arrival of these navies, merchants in certain ports began to gradually refuse to cooperate with Zeng Yunfeng, and began to implement Beckett's policy of severing ties with pirates.

Zeng Yunfeng just laughed at Beckett's policy. Zeng Yunfeng had experienced the age of sailing in the Central Plains.

How can one not know that as long as the ocean trade is not closed and the shipping routes exist, the collusion with pirates will not stop.

Those big merchants in the Central Plains were working as pirates while acting as merchants. Therefore, although Beckett asked not to trade with Zeng Yunfeng in these ports, how could it be possible to do so completely.

Moreover, a large number of ships coming to the Caribbean from Europe are more or less carrying a large number of weapons, so it is not a problem to replenish weapons in a short time, but Zeng Yunfeng also needs to find a new base for his own production. Fortunately, he has a certain amount of weapons manufacturing. Base.

Otherwise, building ships, ships, guns, and guns is really not easy for pirates like Zeng Yunfeng.

Zeng Yunfeng flicked the map, looking for his ideal place on the map.

These military industrial bases must be there, and they must be very secretive. It is best to be a place like the island of death, which must not be easily found or even broken by these navies.

Zeng Yunfeng wants to continuously manufacture weapons in these places, and continue to support the development of the White Iron Pirates.

After solving these problems, Zeng Yunfeng turned his attention to America.

After solving the problem of weapons, what he has to solve is the problem of food.

It is impossible for Zeng Yunfeng to let these pirates eat nothing. Under Beckett’s policy, many farmers and planters along the coast no longer make deals with Zeng Yunfeng. If you eat, you may really starve to death, which is something he doesn't want to see.

The marks on the map were marked one by one by Zeng Yunfeng himself. He really lacks talents now, too much.

It is very rare to find a Gris Allen. Although the black Buddy has rich sailor experience and ship handling experience, the corresponding work is dwarfed.

However, sailor work is not that complicated. Although the newly arrived or even awakened black brothers are not proficient in doing these things, but with Buddy teaching them in front, these people should be able to get started quickly.

Although encountering the Royal Navy in the early stage also had to go through a tough battle, Zeng Yunfeng believed that the nineteen white iron flags could completely fly in the Caribbean Sea only if they had really trained themselves.

Maybe there will be more white iron flags flying between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in the future.
