Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 62: Arrive in Havana

During the next eight-day voyage, it was unexpectedly smooth. No pirates, no hurricanes, and even the passing British caravan and naval patrol fleet.

The fleet with the flags of the Toronto Chamber of Commerce and the United Kingdom was extremely large. It had a flagship with a hull of about 90 meters, and four transport ships similar to the Jackdaw, which made Gordon shout foul.

At first glance, that flagship was refitted from a Tier 3 battleship retired by the Royal Navy, with a displacement of about 800 tons. In theory, such battleships are absolutely not allowed to enter caravans and private individuals.

This is also what Gordon dreams of. His ambition is not limited to a merchant ship. What he wants is an entire fleet, which can be unscrupulous at sea, and pirates can escape.

"If I had this fleet, it would definitely be across the nine seas, making countless money, and then living a luxurious life like a king."

Gordon laughed wildly, the future is very bright.

"Hey, Captain, wake up, your saliva is dripping on the ground."

"Oh, thank you for reminding me."

Gordon quickly wiped his saliva and looked at Mickey beside him.

"Is the Doron Chamber of Commerce very powerful?"

His idiot question directly caused Mickey to roll his eyes.

"Do you look like this?"

Gordon opened his eyes wide and asked in a lengthy tone that killed people.

Mickey lowered his head timidly, no, it should be said that he lowered his head shyly, which made Gordon even more annoyed, and Ellen on the side cast a surprised look, flashing gossip.

"Gordon, before the USS was counted as a vessel of the Doron Chamber of Commerce, I remember that it should be in my notes."

Gordon's eyes dodged a little, so many books can only be read by ghosts. Of course, after being directly sunk by Black Pearl, there is no need to read them.

Coolidge shook his head. Sure enough, he was still too young to keep his heart down.

"The Doron Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce other than the East India Company. It is in charge of the arms trade and the basic food, spices, and material trade, while the East India Company controls the trade of tobacco, slaves, and opium. It was originally the oldest chamber of commerce in the UK. It has now been replaced by the lucrative East India Company."

"What about that kind of large flagship? How did you come up with this kind of thing?"

At the moment, what Gordon is most envious of is the battleship, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple, as long as you have money, you can understand this kind of thing." Coolidge spread his hands and said indifferently, anyway, he did not expect such a battleship.

"I hate capitalism, it's just bureaucratic, corrupt!"

Gordon cursed, and the distant Havana had appeared on the horizon.

Even from a distance, he could see the huge building complex in the distance. Gordon directly opened the telescope and looked at the magnificent port city in the distance.

The towering bell tower, the flag flying at the top of the huge fortress, a large number of merchant ships and battleships of the Spanish Navy moored in the port.

Every moment, merchant ships enter this port for trade, and then return to Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, or head towards the African continent with full cargo.

"This...is this Havana?"

He muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

Gordon was born in Havana and grew up in the city for 19 years, but these memories were like bubbles and full of illusion until he finally saw this magnificent city with his own eyes.

Thinking of his parents in this world, he was instinctively afraid and didn't know how to deal with it.

As the largest port in the Atlantic Ocean, Havana belongs to Spain, but it is not limited to Spaniards. People from various countries in Europe, black slaves, live here, and Gordon's parents arrived in Havana at that time.

Perhaps it was because of unsatisfactory life, or the pursuit of novelty and adventure. Anyway, the final result was that Gordon's father Oliver saved a fortune and came to Havana, where he met his mother Charlotte.

In Gordon's memory, the family opened a hotel when they were young, but it eventually went out of business, and Oliver ended up working in a chamber of commerce, while his mother took care of the horses on a nearby farm, and no one was in control anyway. In the middle, he has also committed a lot of things, and even can be regarded as lawless. Every day he fantasizes about getting rich overnight.

In this kind of character and environment growing up, it is a matter of course to become a sailor in the end.

Although Charlotte strongly opposed it, he got the support of his father Oliver and boarded a merchant ship bound for Europe. As a sailor, he was accompanied by Duncan of course.

It was only a year since he left Havana, and Gordon became a captain. It could be regarded as a homecoming, but there was always some estrangement in his heart, and he didn't know how to get along.

"Retract the sails and prepare to anchor!"

Coolidge's shout pulled him out of his memory, and he realized that the ship had arrived.

"Thinking that two years ago, we fought to death with the Spaniards~www.wuxiahere.com~ Now it's unbelievable that we can sit down and talk business together with peace of mind."

Coolidge discussed with a smile, the relationship between major powers is always incomprehensible, and interests can make them let go of all contradictions, hatred, and directors.

Looking at the familiar streets and busy people around him, Allen suddenly felt extremely affectionate.

"The sailors are ready to carry things!" Allen and Mickey began to wake up all the lazy sailors, while Coolidge borrowed two carriages in the port and began to carry the goods.

"Gordon, it's time for us to go to the exchange. You have to learn how to sell these things at the highest price."

But for this aspect, Gordon simply lacks interest.

"Morgan, I'll leave this to you. I'll go first."

Without waiting for Coolidge to answer, he jumped off the boat and walked towards the interior of the city.

"Hey! How can you, the captain, be like this? I'm the one who is leaving. You belong to..."

Coolidge looked helpless at Gordon who was walking away. He turned to Allen and said, "You better go with me."

Gordon walked in the city alone, and his heart was filled with a lot of joy, watching the bustling crowd, busy with his own business, orderly, the guards patrol here, no one makes trouble, this is the breath of civilization, It's been a long time.

There were beautiful towers, taverns, a market full of people, and the square beside the fortress, with a beautiful pool standing in the middle. He sat beside the pool and felt a moment of tranquility.

"The world is still not good!"

In the end, before the words were finished, the fortress ahead began to sound the alarm bell.

"Hurry up, hurry up, someone sneaked into the fortress but no one knew about it, bring them back to me!"
