Chapter 1302 Morocco's Lawless Zone
North Africa, Morocco, Lawless Zone.

This is a truly disorderly place, where pirates are rampant, and no force can completely control this place.

Algiers still has a pasha appointed by the Ottoman Empire to manage many pirates, but Morocco does not belong to the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The Spanish Empire has a greater influence here. At the same time, there are indigenous Sudanese countries and a large number of North African Cypress A pirate fleet composed of Berers and Arabs, and privateers from various European countries.

Morocco is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the east, and the Strait of Gibraltar in the middle. Morocco, together with Algiers and Tunisia, has become the most active place for Barbary pirates.

In the past, Barbary pirates were just a name for some indigenous pirates in North Africa. Later, more and more privateers fished in troubled waters under the banner of Barbary pirates, but all pirates active in North Africa called themselves Barbary pirates.

A troop carrier and a supply ship converted from an armed merchant ship sailed into an unnamed port.

The sailboats of the pirates are moored in the port, and they are hidden in the port by the pirates to escape the pursuit of them by warships.

When the two sailing ships approached the port, the pirates inside were alarmed.

In this port, there are more Dutch privateers and local Berber pirate ships.

The one-eyed pirate Janson once again met the Netherlandish businessman Luyter.

"I haven't seen the tea that the Chinese people said to give me last time. I didn't expect that you, a guy who broke his promise, would dare to appear in front of me. Are you afraid that I will throw you into the Mediterranean Sea to feed the fish?!" Jansson saw Afterwards, Luyter was so angry that he lifted Luyter up.

The businessman named Luyter said he was going back to inform the Chinese people, but he disappeared without a trace.

"Master Jansong, haven't I brought a Chinese ship here? There are several boxes of tea and gold and silver on their ship, which is the reward for helping them find their missing businessman last time..." Luit said Shrugged, showing a look of grievance.

The Dutch pirate Jansson heard that Huaxia’s tea had arrived, his eyes lit up, and he put down Leyter: “It seems that you have not broken your promise. We Dutch and Huaxia still abide by the spirit of the contract. Let them bring tea and tea. Gold and silver disembark."

"They also brought an army over. Please don't panic, Mr. Jansson. This is how things are..." Luit was afraid that the 300 expeditionary force led by Sun Chuanting and Prince Rupert would cause misunderstanding by the pirates, so he asked him Explain why.

"You said that the Chinese and the British are besieging Algiers now, my God, why are they so crazy! You kid can't lie to me, right? If you lie to me, I will immediately throw you into the sea!"

The one-eyed pirate Janson was dumbfounded when he heard Luiter say that the joint fleet launched a shelling operation against Algiers and planned to surprise the city of Algiers from land.

No one has ever dared to actively provoke the Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean, especially the Barbary pirates loyal to the Ottoman Empire, let alone attack the indestructible Algiers!
"However, their expeditionary force has arrived. If you can provide them with the necessary help, Lord Janson, they are willing to give you more tea, and even some of the spoils of Algiers." Luiter said to the one-eyed pirate.

Maybe it’s useless to talk about justice and morality with pirates, but when it comes to sharing the spoils of Algiers with him, the one-eyed pirate suddenly cheered up: “It is rumored that the Pasha of Algiers has a mountain of wealth. The pirates confiscated a large amount of gold and silver, and provided a large amount of gold and silver to the emperor of the Ottoman Empire every year to ensure his status in Algiers. If Algiers can really be captured, wouldn’t it be a fortune overnight?!”

"Master Jansson, think about it. You and your men don't need to work hard. You just need to provide the necessary help. The Chinese and the British will give you a satisfactory reward after they capture Algiers. Since you We have already helped them once, which means we are on the same ship, so how about helping them again?" Luitt recruited this notorious Dutch pirate to help their expeditionary force like a whisper of a devil.

"How do you need my help?" Jansson was really tempted, coveting Algiers, a large pirate stronghold.

Small-scale pirates bully coastal villagers and small merchant ships without artillery, large-scale pirates plan to arm merchant ships and even warships, and pirates who attack cities...that is a legend!

What's more, Algiers also accumulated a lot of wealth looted by pirates from the Mediterranean coast!
"It's very simple. We need to recruit 500 skilled mercenaries. Whether they are Berbers or Arabs, we can accept them. There is only one requirement. Their physical strength must be good enough to withstand long-term trekking. They need to bring their own For weapons, those with muskets can increase the commission appropriately, and those without muskets can get lower commissions. If you are good at close combat and are not afraid of death, you can also get extra commissions. You also need to buy horses, camels and other livestock, a lot of dry food, and fresh water. The commission will be paid out immediately after we capture Algiers, and we will send a transport ship to bring them back here. The war dead have additional pensions, and the beneficiaries of the pensions need to be specified in advance." As a shrewd businessman, Luyter, When I came to Morocco, I had already planned to recruit indigenous troops.

The main combat force of this long-distance surprise attack is still the 300 expeditionary force led by Sun Chuanting, and the 500 mercenaries are mainly used to strengthen the momentum and move combat supplies, and act as cannon fodder and attract enemy firepower when necessary.

Western countries fight all the year round, as long as they have money, they can pull up a group of mercenaries anywhere, and it is even easier in Morocco where there is no law and order.

"This is easy to handle. I can lead a small team to act together with you. The attack on Algiers is such a legendary thing, my hands are itchy..." Jansson said.

Jansson seems to be the most powerful pirate here. After he agreed to help the expeditionary force surprise Algiers, Sun Chuanting led an expeditionary team of 300 people to the lawless land of Morocco.

Sun Chuanting brought a few boxes of tea that the Kyushu Army Intelligence Office promised him to help find Li Jinde, and two boxes of silver as a deposit to assist them in their raid on Algiers.

"Leave me the matter of recruiting mercenaries, but this time we have to be famous, otherwise it will be difficult to get the support of mercenaries, villages and natives on the way." Yang Song looked at the appearance and attire of Sun Chuanting and others, He shook his head again and again.

"What are we going to do?" Sun Chuanting asked puzzled.

"You need a makeover," Jansson said seriously.
