Liu Yiyi's question made James silent for a moment. After some thought, James said slowly: "All warships need to be on increased vigilance! At the same time, since these pirates are indeed coming at us, then we naturally need to strengthen our defenses. But here's the problem. Our defense force on Xinghua Island at this stage is very limited, and new warships and helicopter gunships have not yet been put in place, and once the pirates attack, it may not be enough to rely on the existing two gunboats to defend against them. Therefore, it is necessary to increase military equipment and increase firepower as soon as possible. In addition, we must send people to investigate the details of these pirates as soon as possible, and report to the king for support!"

Liu Yiyi listened carefully and nodded in agreement.

After a pause, James seemed to think of something, his face immediately sank, and he continued: "In addition, we must also understand whether these pirates are some scattered intruders or attracted by others. ”

Hearing this, a trace of shock flashed on Liu Yiyi's face. The potential threat that James pointed out really reminded her that there seemed to be some big conspiracy behind it.

James's words are not alarmist. The waters between Rénia and Madagascar have never been a popular shipping route, and there is no pirate entrenchment around the two countries.

So, they really should think deeper, not just look at pirates.

Of course, all this, so far, is only their speculation, and to get accurate information, it still needs to be investigated.

Therefore. Liu Yiyi accepted James's opinion and quickly called Yi Xingchen to inform Xinghua Island of the series of problems encountered recently.

After listening to Liu Yiyi's report and learning that Xinghua Island might encounter pirates, Yi Xingchen was also shocked in his heart.

Although Hing Wah Island is an island, it is surrounded by the sea. It's far away from the nearest land, even if it's called an isolated island, it's not an exaggeration, how can it provoke pirates to come ashore and rob. Could it be that Xinghua Island has been developing relatively fast recently, and the news has spread, and it has been coveted by pirates?

Yi Xingchen had never encountered this situation, and for a while, his brows were furrowed. It's a bit difficult.

Something seems to have gone wrong lately. Yi Xingchen really didn't expect that this had just solved the-for-tat trouble of the president of Rénia, and the turmoil had not completely passed, and there was a new trouble immediately afterward.

However, according to Liu Yiyi's report, it is not yet possible to determine the origin of these pirates and their way of doing things. The number of people and so on. But in any case, this matter must be dealt with immediately.

The construction of Xinghua Province on Xinghua Island. A lot has already been invested, not to mention, if the pirates really attack, how much property will be robbed, even the citizens of Xinghua who are already living and working in peace and contentment on Xinghua Island will definitely be affected. Yi Xingchen is no matter what. will not let them hurt the people of Xinghua Kingdom.

Yi Xingchen immediately fell into deep thought, he needed to clear his mind and think about how to deal with it.

The reason why Yi Xingchen is cautious is not because, he thinks. With the combat power of the gunboats on Xinghua Island, they will be helpless against these pirates. It's just that he can't be careless, and before the pirates attack Xinghua Island, he must ensure that Xinghua Island has the combat power that absolutely surpasses the opponent.

In fact, Yi Xingchen felt a little strange. According to his understanding, although Blue Mercury is not completely without traces of pirates, because of the trend of internationalization, the countries of Blue Mercury not only have particularly clear boundaries of territorial airspace, but also have a clear division of sea areas and the sphere of influence of warship guards.

Generally speaking, now, on Blue Mercury, except for the specific chaotic sea areas of some chaotic countries, it has been more than twenty years, and I have not heard of the news that a large number of pirates have appeared and invaded the coastline of any country.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen felt a little abrupt that these pirates came out of thin air.

At this point, he and James coincidentally thought of going together.

As a result, Yi Xingchen immediately gave Xinghua Think Tank a task and quickly dispatched personnel to investigate the pirate rumors on Xinghua Island. At the same time, the Xinghua Think Tank was asked to investigate the few pirates closest to Xinghua Island.

Yi Xingchen particularly emphasized to them, not only to find out the number and scale of these pirates, but also to find out whether there were other implicated forces behind them.

Although the Xinghua Think Tank mainly deals with the intelligence information of Rénia and other surrounding countries, the Xinghua Think Tank, which is supported by Yi Xingchen, has abundant funds, so correspondingly, it also has more and more in-depth investigation channels and methods, and can also collect intelligence information from the countries of Blue Mercury.

Because when Yi Xingchen gave the order to the Xinghua Think Tank, he emphasized that this task needed to be expedited, so not long after Yi Xingchen's order was issued, the Xinghua Think Tank acted quickly and soon sent an electronic version of the pirate intelligence area map.

Yi Xingchen immediately put down what he was doing and carefully studied this area map.

This map of the pirate intelligence area is particularly detailed, and some of the pirate incidents that have occurred in Blue Mercury in the past ten years include the pirate's invasion area and specific invasion time, and at the same time, it also details and clearly delineates the general area of influence of these pirates who have acted on Blue Mercury in a graphical way, and estimates their strength.

After comparing the information on the area map, Yi Xingchen found that although the pirates of Blue Mercury may not be strong because most of them are rabble, and they are unable to confront the warships of various countries, but the sea area of Blue Mercury is too large, and not all sea areas are already famous, and there are many pirates who know how to evade the patrols and attacks of warships, and specialize in attacking civilian ships in the cracks, and they are uncertain and act extremely fast, so there are still a considerable number of pirates who know how to survive in danger.

On the area map, the two most famous pirate-infested areas on Blue Mercury are also listed. One is the waters of Southeast Asia, while the other is the Arabian Sea.

These two seas are particularly susceptible to pirates. The main reason is based on their geographical environment.

Most of the shipping routes in Southeast Asian waters are complex and interspersed with too many waterways, which are difficult to manage, while the Arabian seas are mostly occupied by countries with relatively small territories. There are great differences in customs and habits between countries.

And these discrepancies between these two seas are precisely the most suitable soil environment for pirates to breed.

If you want to dig deeper, among them, the pirates in the Arabian Sea are relatively the most suspicious. Because the range of these pirates is closer to Xinghua Island, which is more active than the pirate activity in Southeast Asian waters.

Get this information. Yi Xingchen had a general direction in his heart. So, he immediately passed this pirate intelligence area map to Liu Yiyi through the Internet, and told her that the pirates were most likely from a country near the Arabian Sea.

Yi Xingchen's move is to hope for Xinghua Island. First, let's focus on the most active pirate groups in the vicinity of this area. Meantime. It is also to let Liu Yiyi pay more attention to the ships coming from the direction of this sea area.

Liu Yiyi, the president of Xinghua Island, was also stunned when he got the news from Yi Xingchen. But she was helpless to find that although she had gotten the news, she still felt a little at a loss because none of them specifically pointed to a specific pirate. I thought about it. She had no choice but to entrust this matter to James, who was relatively thoughtful: "James, you go and investigate the piracy situation in the Arabian Sea." ”

Except that James knows how to deal with it, James is a commercial spy, and it is better for him to go out than other people on Xinghua Island.

James didn't refuse. He gladly accepted the task and left Xinghua Island to investigate the situation of the pirates and try to find out the pirates who wanted to be unfavorable to Xinghua Island.

In northern Africa, a country with a chaotic domestic political environment, an unidentified ship disguised as a cargo ship is parked off its coast. Actually, this ship is a pirate ship.

In the largest inner compartment of the ship, a one-armed man in a leather wallet is munching on a roast chicken. Behind him, stood four men with guns of varying heights.

Sitting in front of the one-armed man were two white young men with completely different bearings and demeanors, wearing straight suits, cold expressions, and silent.

"When are you going to do it?" said one of the white youths, who seemed to be unable to bear it, to the one-armed man.

When the one-armed man heard this, he didn't stop biting the roast chicken, but still continued.

After three minutes, the one-armed man put down the chicken bone in his hand and said with a smile: "I want to increase the price!"

Anger appeared on the faces of the two white youths, and one of them said dissatisfied: "This is not in line with our agreement. ”

"You never said that there are two gunboats on Xinghua Island. The one-armed man replied.

The two youths were slightly less angry, but in fact, their anger was deliberately expressed. Since the one-armed man found out about the cat, they discussed it with each other and responded: "Yes, add another regiment of arms." ”

The one-armed man smiled and said, "I want to see the goods before I act." ”

"Okay. You'd better keep your promise!" the two youths stood up.

The one-armed man nodded in response: "Don't worry, no matter what I do, I don't want to anger your American Intelligence Agency." ”

Two white youths leave the cabin.

"General, are we really going to rob the island?" said a short, stout man behind the one-armed man.

"Only those who have guns are qualified to become the masters of the country! The American Intelligence Agency can provide arms, how can we refuse?!" said the one-armed man, grabbed some chicken bones with some silk meat, and continued to gnaw.

Two white youths left the camouflaged pirate ship, boarded a speedboat, quickly sailed away, and landed. They left in a hurry to report to their superiors on the results of their negotiations.

In addition, they also want to deliver the arms as soon as possible, prompting the pirates to attack Xinghua Island.

The pirates here, known as the Soma Pirates, are the largest group of pirates in the entire Arabian Sea. They had at least three gunboats, as well as various ships, and had more than 1,000 members.

In the distant country of America, the General Intelligence Directorate of the United States, there is a conference room that is insulated from all electronic devices.

At this time, the door to the conference room was closed.

A top-secret meeting is taking place under the personal chairmanship of the Director of National Intelligence. The members who participated in the meeting mainly included the elite of the Intelligence Agency, representatives of the Navy, as well as representatives of the president.

This is a high-level secret meeting that will decide the life and death of a nation.

First of all, the director of the intelligence bureau gave a detailed account of the situation to the dozen or so members present who participated in the meeting.

"According to the report of the National Institute of National Studies of the United States, we have not yet cracked the space technology, and the progress is almost zero......" The director of national intelligence paused for a moment and continued: "There are many reasons for the lack of progress, one is the lack of space items to conduct expendable experiments. Second, there is a lack of relevant technical support. The failed experiment of the Miqi country tells us that if we fail to grasp the principles of space technology and forcibly crack it, it will cause extremely dangerous consequences...... The reason why we are targeting Xinghua Island is: first, Xinghua Island is the territory of Xinghua Mall, second, many intelligence analysts believe that Xinghua Island may have a space laboratory where there may be principles, and third, Xinghua Island is very suspicious, and we need to test it...... This operation is a top-secret operation, and no one is allowed to leak half a sentence when they leave. Otherwise, the negative impact on our country is huge. ”

The director spoke, and then a leader of the operation team briefed everyone present on the progress of their operation: "The Soma pirates accepted our terms, and when the arms were handed over to the pirates, that is, when Xinghua Island was destroyed. ”

"If we loot Xinghua Island and still find nothing, wouldn't we have offended Xinghua Mall? As far as I know, none of the American billionaires have succeeded in snapping up the latest round of car exclusive space ring rush purchases. I think this is a warning from Schmidt Mall to us, we need to be cautious. "The representative of the president voiced the president's concerns.

The military representative said: "If the United States wants to continue to be at the forefront of science and technology, it must master space technology. The impact of space technology on the military is significant. ”

"Therefore, the level of our meeting is top secret, and no one is allowed to leak half of the content. Any American who participates in the operation must be kept secret. The director of the intelligence department said.

"No matter what, it is a crime to buy pirates and plunder other countries. For us in the United States, it is not a good name. Moreover, I doubt that these pirates will be able to succeed. Said the representative of the president.

"My only concern is whether we're going to get space technology! If the pirates get it, how do we make sure they have to get it into our hands. The director said with a slight smile.

"In addition to pirates, our navy will also send some armed personnel to coordinate the attack to prevent pirates from monopolizing. Without our support, they would not have been able to plunder and leave unharmed. The military representative said without worry. (To be continued......)
