I have to say that in the Caribbean Sea, in addition to Cuba, Haiti is rich in high-quality shipbuilding wood. Because Haiti has the highest mountain range in the entire Caribbean - the Cordillera Mountains, and its forestry resources are extremely rich. There is a better quality shipbuilding wood than oak - teak!

This wood is not prone to deformity, corrosion and cracking in various environments, and expands and shrinks to the smallest of all woods. When exposed to wind, heat, rain or sea water, teak will not shrink either. It does not curl or crack when there is a large change in sun and rain drying and wet drying. It has strong water resistance and fire resistance. Moreover, the material has a large oil content, and the aroma emitted can resist termites and seaworms in different sea areas, and is extremely resistant to corrosion.

Teak has good drying performance, adhesive, paint and waxing performance. However, because the material contains silicon, it is easy to bluntly cut, so it is difficult to cut during processing. Teak has good nail grasping strength and excellent overall performance! If Captain Bacca's armored ship was not made of teak and was bombarded by the Spanish fleet, it would have long since fallen apart halfway.

During this period, everyone was full of motivation and worked together to transform the captured ships, build the Port of St. Nicholas, and expand the scale of Captain Baccar's hiding place. When everyone was devoted to their work, the two carrier pigeons flew from the Port of St. Nicholas and Port-au-Prince eyeliner to Captain Baccar's hiding place...

Two carrier pigeons brought two bad news. A terrible plague suddenly appeared in the harbor of St. Nicholas. A group of sailors and captured Spanish crew members suddenly died of illness! If these humans had not been subjected to the "Vodou" living dead technique by the book demon, there would have been a problem of labor tension. However, things are still very difficult, and the harbor seems to be not peaceful...

Another pigeon flew from Port-au-Prince, and the letter brought a message that troubled Captain Baccar. It turned out that Captain Baccar's pirate group of "Carthage Sunset" was defeated by the Spanish fleet on the south bank of Haiti Island, and a large number of pirates were captured alive and transported to Port-au-Prince together with the armed pirate ships he seized. Now the Governor of Port-au-Prince is preparing to hang these pirates. Many of them are brothers who started with Captain Baccar. Captain Baccar has been trying to find ways to rescue them, but Port-au-Prince is one of Spain's most important colonies in the Caribbean. It has a very strong defensive force and it is difficult to break through its defense with fewer people.

The book demon saw Captain Baka look at the drawings and seemed a little absent-minded, and smiled faintly: "Captain Baka, don't worry about the captured brothers, we will have a way to rescue them. In fact, what I am more worried about is the plague that occurred in the Harbour of St. Nicholas. Because there is no communication with the outside world there, this sudden infectious disease seems to be very strange..."

Captain Baka threw down the ruler, grabbed a bottle of rum and took a sip, "The Governor of Port-au-Prince is about to hang them, but our rescue plan is delayed... Alas..."

"The Governor of Port-au-Prince did not announce the time to hang them, which shows that he seemed to want us to rescue them. Then he could catch us all!" Shu Yao drank British black tea and pushed a single piece of glasses, which was very like a veteran European aristocrat. "Maybe he hoped to get the message from the Spanish who were captured by us, so that he deliberately released the news... I have a plan, why not exchange prisoners with them, so that everyone doesn't have to worry about it..."

Captain Bacca glared at his eyes and his bearded man raised up, "Exchange captives?! This cunning governor of Port-au-Prince is waiting for us to do this. He can catch us and save the Spanish!"

Shu Yao smiled and said, "The Governor of Port-au-Prince will also have the same concerns. We don't trust each other with the Governor of Port-au-Prince, so this matter is naturally difficult to handle. But maybe if there is an intermediary to do it, the matter will turn around..."

Captain Bacca sat in the chair and lowered his head and murmured: "It's not easy to find a middleman. Who is willing to deal with us pirates, and his status cannot be too low, and he also has to interact with the Spanish nobles. Otherwise, how could the Governor of Port-au-Prince believe it? Could he bribe a Spanish nobles?..."

At this time, Akan came in from outside the house. He had just finished the correction of the newly made iron wood bearings in the dock. He threw his clothes to the native servants who followed him. He rushed in sweat and shouted: "The first batch of propeller bearings have been made. Your armored ship can start construction... Huh? Baka Why does your face look like a dead wife? Didn't your wife die long ago?"

"Get out of you, a crow!" Captain Baka said angrily, "My brothers are going to be hanged, you are still talking sarcastic words!"

"So it's for that matter?!" Akan clapped his hands, "This matter is fine. I'm more worried about the plague in Saint Nicholas Harbor... The infectious disease is really strange... Just find an intermediary to lobby for you. Isn't the Governor of Port-au-Prince just waiting in a hurry and urges us to exchange prisoners as soon as possible?!"

"You..." Captain Baka's eyes glared again, "Why are you all so confident?! Have you already thought about the candidate to exchange the captive middlemen?"

Akan's big head flickered, "If you want to find someone, just let Baron Shi Fan or Baron Shadow. They are orthodox nobles. Although they are hostile countries, it is easier to communicate. Just bring some benefits to the Governor of Port-au-Prince. It just so happens that you need to deal with him in the future. Giving him such a big favor will be convenient for doing things in the future."

Captain Bacca's mind turned around at this time, "Yes! No one knows that the Baron is the leader of our "Caribbean Alliance". They can trust both sides when they are middlemen. Moreover, our caravan will also deal with these nobles in the future. This time, he helped him rescue the Spaniards, and sold him a favor. Moreover, the Spaniards knew that some British nobles had connections with pirates, so they would not suspect that the Baron had robbed their ships. This was perfect!"

Aken smiled, "So it's not that difficult to save your brothers..."

Captain Baka suddenly slapped the table, "Since you have already had this solution, why don't you go and save my brothers earlier?! Let them suffer so much in vain?!"

Shu Yao still said lightly: "Because the timing is not good, it will make us anxious if it is too early. The initiative in negotiations will be gone. You should know that the captains on the six royal carac sailboats are of some origin, some of which are royal backgrounds, and some are Spanish military backgrounds. There are also scholars and nobles on the ship. How could the Governor of Port-au-Prince and the commander of the Caribbean fleet not have the pressure from the Spanish royal family and military? As long as we wait for a few more days, our appearance will be equivalent to his savior. If we operate well, we can still make good friends with the Spanish royal family and military, which will be very beneficial to our future commercial activities."

Aken also smiled and said, "Now the time is almost right, I will prepare some gifts to bribe the Governor of Port-au-Prince..."

Captain Bacca waved his hand and said loudly: "I'll prepare gifts. These people who were imprisoned by the Spanish are all my brothers. There is no need to let the Baron spend money. I still have some savings..."

Aken patted his shoulder, "We are all for Lord Baron, so don't divide each other anymore. Besides, do you have such a treasure in your gift?"

Baka saw Akan holding a huge sea bead in his hand, emitting a gentle pearly light...

…………

The extraordinary troubles of the Governor Torres, Port-au-Prince Governor, had caused more trouble since the Caribbean Navy fleet wiped out two notorious pirate groups. That bastard Enrikis actually lost four merchant ships of the royal family full of hardware, which were the supplies urgently needed for his port construction! One of the captains was his nephew, and his whereabouts were still unknown! How should he explain to the count sister? What's even more hateful is that Enrikis even lost the royal family's golden ship!

Originally, these were nothing to do with him, but the abominable Enrikis actually pushed all the dirty pirates to him, asking the royal family to hand over all the disposal of these pirates and finding solutions to rescue the missing crew. This is a very troublesome thing! But Enrikis himself used the excuse to wipe out the remaining pirates, find the missing crew, and left with his fleet! This tone really made Torres unable to swallow! I heard that Enrikis is an orthodox knight with a background in the Holy See, but this guy is too unreasonable! Can you do whatever you want with the support of the pope?!

Almost half a month has passed, and the six Carac sailboats seemed to have been swallowed by the giant demon of the North Sea, and the thousands of crew members were gone. It would be fine if the low-level crew members and sailors died, but if the gold treasures and hardware products were lost, the empire could afford to lose. But the six captains were all closely related to the imperial nobles.

The boat was also traveling with senior scholars from the Imperial Academy, dozens of young officers with hereditary titles. This list of missing persons made Torres feel like he was holding a piece of red lead cake. Behind each name, there was a long list of background family figures that even the king could not despise. Almost every force behind each name had sent people or letters to put pressure on himself. Because these guys could not find Enrikis, he became a scapegoat.

Torres didn't understand why the pirates who kidnapped these nobles had not yet made a request for ransom or exchange of prisoners. When did these barbaric pirates learn to be so calm? You should know that the food and drink of so many people is a big problem. Do those dirty pirates remain indifferent when they see so many prisoners who can be exchanged for gold coins? Are they not pirates, but the English navy pretended to be?
