Chapter 117: Attack on the Pirates

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Pirate Invasion! Assuming that the future historians of the New World are interested in studying the turbulent era of change that Luo Zhengdao is currently traversing, this subject is bound to lead them to cheat them out of a lot of real money in research funds.

Soon after the conclusion of the pirate conference held in the New Caledonian Islands, those pirate groups that had been wandering the Seven Seas for most of the time, did not like to be too close to the coastal waters of the main big 6, and had wild habits like steppe wolves, began to collectively lì, especially those pirate fleets that had never withdrawn from the sea route of the stars, and launched a wave of stronger attacks on the coastal areas of the main big 6. Needless to say, some people really plan to stop the Second Goblin Empire's plan to move and ban the sea, some people plan to get another vote before leaving, and some people feel that everyone will do it anyway, and if they don't do it, they will suffer a big loss.

Regardless of the intentions of these participants, the eventual outcome remained the same, with pirate raids on the coastal areas of the Main 6 reaching unprecedented levels of frequency and intensity during this period.

The Second Goblin Empire, which defeated the Bright Dynasty and was able to dominate the Great 6 alone, is a thoroughly militaristic regime. To put it simply, the country founded by the goblins is essentially a large barracks, and everything revolves around military activities. All goblins, regardless of men, women, and children, arrange their daily routines and rest according to the principles of military organization, and they spend their lives from birth to death under a strict military management system.

The frenzy of pirate attacks triggered by the proposed relocation and ban on the sea is still at the level of normal times, and the inside information related to it is impossible to conceal it, not to mention the loose structure of the pirate group itself, and the delicate relationship between some pirates and the main 6 is destined to be exposed. However, knowing that the pirates will come and stop them are two completely unrelated things. The pirate fleet, which lacks unified scheduling, has its own small calculations and course of action, and the activities of the pirate group do not have any offensive focus and order at all, and are purely a hodgepodge of countless accidental piecings.

Stretching out ten fingers to press the fleas, busy but unable to hold any of them, this is probably for the second goblin empire, in the face of rampant piracy, their own ineffective containment and the anxiety generated, is also the most appropriate and realistic description, knowing this, the real pressure on the goblins will not be weakened in the slightest.

"Is there any news for the three targets?"

In the central intelligence analysis room of the Goblin Military Department, the huge world map centered on the main big 6 occupies the space of a wall, and such a huge map is still unable to cover the entire territory of the new world, only covering the main big 6 and the sea of stars, as well as a small part of the sea of floating light.

Standing on the escalator in front of the map, the Minister of Intelligence and several goblin bosses were talking, and when asked this extremely difficult question, the head of the Ministry of Intelligence was in a worried mood, and said:

"Target No. 1 has just gone to sea, Target No. 2 is unknown, and Target No. 3 is operating in the waters off the Xiangjiang River."

Hearing the sound, the gray-colored old goblin opened its eyes that seemed to be sleepy, its gaze was as sharp as a blade, and said with a sneer:

"Command to start closing the net, it would be better for us to get rid of one here!"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

What kind of conspiracy is being planned by the high-ranking officials of the Goblin Second Empire, Luo Zhengdao, who is far away in the sea of stars, cannot know, but he has been in a good mood recently, and he is leisurely blowing the sea breeze on the command platform of the Avenger, enjoying the magnificent scenery of the rising sun.

Luo Zhengdao's privateer fleet, like many of his peers, cruised in the open sea of the main 6 to find opportunities to carry out combat operations, and once there was chaos in the deployment of the current goblin defenders, they immediately pounced on it to get a vote. Although this kind of practice looks rough and looks like a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, it is not a small amount to accumulate a lot, and Luo Zhengdao's mood is not good!

"Will, the action has been so smooth, it seems to make people feel uneasy!"

Hearing the words of the half-elf beauty Vina Dubov, Luo Zhengdao felt the same way, nodded and said:

"That's right, if you think that a qiē operation is going well, it probably means that you have fallen into the trap laid by the enemy. I also understand that the current situation is dangerous, and foreseeable dangers are always easier to deal with than unforeseeable dangers, don't I? ”

"But ......"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao sighed and stopped the half-elf beauty from continuing to speak, saying:

"Vena, do you know the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy? A conspiracy is something that will never see the light of day, and if you see it as a conspiracy, it will be over. The conspiracy is a subtle layout based on the fact that there is a certain general trend, and whether you know that your opponent has completed the layout or not, the only option is to catch up. Conspiracy is like playing cards, when the hole cards are exposed, there is no play, Yang Mou is like playing chess, you can clearly see every move of the opponent, if your own strength is not good, you can't win the chess game that should be lost. The plan to move the border and ban the sea is a means of self-harm for the goblins to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but they have more money in their hands, and we can't afford to change one for another, so we must stop the goblins, and we can do whatever it takes......

Sarryl, the Yaling Overseer, who had always been watching coldly, couldn't help but interject at this time:

"Your Excellency, are we about to enter the intended battlefield and attack immediately?"

Those who are unsatisfactory in life are ten constants**! Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao looked up at the sky and said:

"Well, let's get started! The sooner the attack is completed, the better it will be for us, no matter what the goblins are up to, it will take some time for them to close the net, and as long as we move fast enough, they will not be able to take advantage of the trap. ”

Due to the combined influence of multiple objective factors, for a long time in the past, Xiangjiang, as the only foreign trade port of the main big 6, was nominally a free port, but in fact enjoyed the special status of monopolizing the foreign import and export trade of the main big 6. This privilege has led to the economic prosperity of Hong Kong, and the unprecedented prosperity has made many people celebrate, absorbing a large number of assets and talents of human exiles from the main university6, as well as cheap labor, making Hong Kong more prosperous in the troubled times. However, the hypocrisy of these prosperity is based on the hypocrisy of a tacit agreement between the human merchant groups who control Xiangjiang and the Second Goblin Empire, who secretly offer large sums of money to the Goblin Empire and purchase sensitive materials and contraband on their behalf.

Unveiled the veil of warmth and affection, there is no essential difference between the Xiangjiang Business Group Union and the Boyle family's naked rape, but the former's betrayal and refuge behavior is more hidden.

As the old saying goes, those who have no permanent property have no perseverance, and the rich are the most afraid of death in the world.

The wealthy merchants of Xiangjiang took advantage of the monopoly privileges granted by the Second Goblin Empire to make a windfall of their hands, and they did not forget to brutally exploit the refugees who fled to Xiangjiang, trying to squeeze the last bit of oil and water out of these poor people. These business group bosses who have mastered countless wealth are not sure in their own hearts, not only worried that they will one day be unloaded and killed by the goblin masters, but also afraid of being killed in the name of hoeing and raping, not to mention that the pirates are eyeing the fat of Xiangjiang, for this reason, Xiangjiang Port has a very strong defense force.

There was once a big man of the merchant group alliance who said after getting drunk that he would not fight Xiangjiang without sacrificing the preparation of the entire fleet.

When the pirate fleet under Luo Zhengdao gradually approached the waters of the Xiangjiang River, on both sides of the narrowing island channel ahead, the dense fire nets from those small islands sprayed bullets and bullets, which can prove that some of the previous rumors are not groundless.

The flagship Avenger lowered its sails in the sea area less than two nautical miles away from the geographically dangerous and geographically dangerous sea fort off the Xiangjiang River, which can be called the "double ghost gate", Luo Zhengdao touched his chin and laughed, he waved his hand and said:

"Hehehehehe, come on! Bring out our sharp weapons, and don't let people underestimate our determination. ”

With the help of an auxiliary ship converted from a maintenance ship, a large cannon was hoisted from the bilge of the transport ship accompanying the pirate fleet and carefully placed on a huge wooden raft that had just been built not far away.

This huge cannon leaning on by Luo Zhengdao as a dry city is not an ordinary commodity, it is a behemoth made of bronze casting, excluding the bulky wooden gun carriage, and the net weight of the cannon body part is nearly twenty tons. The weight is equivalent to dozens of 12-pound cannons, and the weight of each special stone projectile has reached an unprecedented 14oo pounds, it is estimated that there is no warship in the entire New World that can carry this big guy with a ruining recoil without falling apart, except for this small flaw, this bronze cannon can be called a flawless work of war in all respects.

In the history of the Old World, in order to conquer Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II spared no expense to cast the famous Urban Cannon, and knocked open Constantinople, the thousand-year-old imperial capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, which was once known as an impregnable thick wall.

Satisfied, the Sultan, having conquered the city, ordered a batch of heavy artillery to be copied according to the standards of the urban cannon, and prepared to deal with the enemy fleet that was approaching the new capital renamed "Istanbul".

In the blink of an eye, more than 300 years have passed, and in 18o7, the naval fleet of John Bull, the world hegemon of the sea, came to the city of Istanbul. Loaded with new gunpowder and explosive shells, more than sixty Niu Niu sailors were killed in a single hit, and these heirloom magnates forced the arrogant John Niu to sit down and negotiate with the Ottomans. The story is not over here, and the dramatic part is still behind, and the Ottoman Sultan doesn't know what to think, maybe it was a strange idea to show off his martial arts! After the two sides reached a collegiate agreement, the Sultan presented John Bull with a large cannon of Urban, and until Luo Zhengdao crossed the New World, this legendary antique weapon was still on display in the Tower of London for visitors to stop and admire.
