Chapter 284: Initiative

The harbor of Kalmar City was already in disarray, and as soon as the men of the Admiralty and William's side were fighting, the crowd of onlookers took refuge and left the area to the fighters.

At the beginning of the battle, Chloe had already dialed the phone bug and passed the news to the ships hovering near the dock, and several warships were ready to sail to the dock, surrounding the naval warships parked on the shore.

As soon as the cannon sounded, the navy on the shore involuntarily looked in the direction of the warship, and no one noticed that a single gunshot appeared under the cover of the cannon.

In the next second, I saw Lieutenant General Karp, who smashed William out of mid-air and landed on the ground, his head involuntarily tilted back.

"There are snipers!" Lieutenant General Stoloberg's eyes, which had been squinting, widened suddenly, and he let out a low sigh.

Edmund looked happy, he knew that it was Jesus who was lying in ambush nearby, and after working with Jesus cloth for so long, William and his group knew very well how Jesus was shooting, and it could be called a bullet.

It's just that the joy on Edmund's face quickly disappeared, and he saw Karp slowly retract his head, and at this time, he could see that in the middle of his eyebrows, there was a deflated bullet, and the part hit by the bullet, except for the slight redness of the skin, did not even break the skin!

The bullet fell off Karp's eyebrows, and he caught it with one hand, and then laughed: "Good marksmanship, fortunately I have domineering." ”

As soon as Karp's voice fell, he disappeared from the spot, on the roof of a small building in the distance, Jesus Bu, who was observing Karp with a sniper scope, saw that the target suddenly disappeared, and his heart sank, and he quickly raised his head from the mirror, and saw Karp, who was hundreds of meters away, rushed to a place less than ten meters in front of him in an instant.

Rumble!

Karp just punched him, and the seven-story building where Jesusbu was located collapsed as if it had been blasted by a high-yield explosive, and the rubble flew and the dust filled.

Jesus Bu rushed out of the dust with a confused face, stepped on the moon, widened the distance between him and Xiaolou, the sniper rifle in his hand had disappeared, but then, he conjured two revolvers out of thin air in both hands, hooked his fingers, and fired at the small building below.

Jesus Bu only had two revolvers in his hands, but the firepower that poured out in an instant gave people the feeling of a rain of bullets.

Almost at the same time as Jesus Bu shot, in the dust and mist, Vice Admiral Karp, dressed in a naval uniform, rushed out, he held one hand in front of his face, protecting his eyes, and the other hand held a piece of unarmed dismantling, basketball-sized cement block, bullet hit him covered with domineering energy, like tickling, the next second, he threw the cement block in his hand like a shot put, thrown at Jesus Bu.

When the cement block flew through the air, there was a piercing whistling sound, the momentum was like a cannonball, Jesus Bu only had time to cross his arms to protect his chest, and was hit by the cement block, he didn't expect that it was entangled by Karp domineering, and the power was doubled, and the arm that was directly smashed by this one was broken, and he spit blood, and fell weakly from mid-air.

Karp also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but heard the ground like an earthquake, there was a muffled sound, Karp just had doubts in his heart, he saw the ground suddenly bulge, and then, a high-pressure steam gushed out directly, between breaths, white steam filled the surroundings, blocking Karp's vision, enveloping the figure of Jesus Cloth falling.

Karp ignored the cloth and turned his head abruptly to look in the direction of the docks, which were already enveloped in a thick white steam.

At the dock, William half-knelt on the ground, and his hands inserted into the ground turned into two white vapors, which radiated outward with the dock area as the center, and in Kalmar City, high-pressure steam continued to break through the surface, and in the blink of an eye, a corner of the city turned into a "fog capital" that could not be seen.

William's voice became a little hoarse, and he said to Edmund, Chloe and the others who were coughing beside him, "You go first." ”

Edmund gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm going to die." ”

"I can't leave, I take the initiative to stay, at least you can go," William said through gritted teeth, "This battle is not over yet, who loses and who wins, you know my arrangement, as long as the navy doesn't kill me immediately, it must be us who has the last laugh." ”

"Chloe!" Seeing that Edmund was about to say something, William called out to Chloe, who was calmer and smarter.

Chloe is indeed smart, he knows that unless the battle situation is at a stalemate and no one can stop it, the navy will not just kill William, even if he wants to kill, he will be punished with great fanfare, and will not let William die quietly like a little pirate.

And as long as the Navy does this, the people of the William Group have hope of turning the tables.

So along with Selkirk, Crick, and the others, they pulled Edmund away, explaining the reason as they went.

In fact, William first broke the news in front of Louise because he wanted to lure the navy to the East China Sea to start a war, because he knew at the time that as soon as the war with the Golden Lion was over, his side would definitely be exposed to the sight of the world government and the navy.

If the Navy Headquarters investigates on its own after the fact, and when they do not know when they collect enough evidence and approve the arrest, then the initiative to start the war will fall into the hands of the Navy, and William's idea is that it is better to take advantage of the current changes in the world situation to take the initiative to force the Navy Headquarters to attack, and let himself control the time for the war.

He was fully prepared for this, and was ready to promote peace by war, and took advantage of the victory in this battle to seek the position of "the king of the seven martial seas".

On the one hand, it can gain a legal name for its own regime, and on the other hand, it can continue to develop relatively steadily after its own power has jumped out of the water.

But William didn't expect that the people of the Navy Headquarters seemed to have guessed from the beginning that he wanted to seek the position of the Seven Martial Seas, and the news from Ah Jin and the news from the rats all proved that the Navy Headquarters intended to invite him to become the Seven Martial Seas.

William had to admit that he hesitated, he was a traverser, and he was not like the local natives, who could accept the rule of the world government and navy with peace of mind, but it did not mean that he was not afraid of the power of the behemoth of the world government and navy.

If he had to be an enemy with him, then William would not be afraid of fighting, but if he could avoid a desperate battle with the Navy Headquarters when he was still weak, he would directly achieve his goal and become the Seven Martial Seas, William was actually relieved in his heart.

Not only William, but in fact, many of his cadres, in fact, the vast majority are the same as him, and they are even more afraid of the power of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, and if they can avoid it, they do not want to start a war with the Navy Headquarters.

After all, although William killed the Golden Lion Shiki, he was not Edward the Whitebeard after all, and he did not have the prestige and fame that even enemies praised, so that his subordinates did not take the Navy Headquarters seriously.

And the people under William's command who may not really take the government and the navy into account are actually the students in the school who have received a new education, but they have not yet grown up.

The lesson of looking ahead and looking backward is to give up the initiative and be caught off guard by the Navy Headquarters.

The king saw the king, and it was tough from the beginning, but it was not William's plan.

The layout of the Navy Headquarters is actually not very clever, and there are only two commendable things about the Navy Headquarters, one of which is to see through William's purpose at a glance and hang him from the position of the Seven Martial Seas, and the other is to understand the unequal cost of war between the two sides, and to hold the idea of William's side.

William's side and the naval headquarters are completely unequal in size, and the consequences of defeat are also different, once the war starts, William's gang loses, it will be all over, but even if the naval headquarters loses, it will not hurt the fundamentals, which makes William's group not so easy to gamble in the face of the goodwill of the headquarters.

In fact, William also hesitated, many of the arrangements he made after the warship of his headquarters came to the East China Sea, including tracking the warship and not knowing the sniper, etc., seemed uneasy, but unfortunately he still did not make up his mind in the end.
