After rushing back to Batavia to unload the mission, Zheng Zhilong, who had returned to his manor to reunite with his relatives and recuperate at the same time, did not know that he had been suspected by Colonel Lincoln, who had worked with him before.

If Zheng Zhilong knew about this matter, I am afraid that he would look down on Colonel Lincoln a few times, because as Colonel Lincoln guessed, he was involved in this turmoil in Indonesian waters.

Of course, in such a big game, not only his Zheng Zhilong's Flying Dragon Gang participated, but also Li Tiansheng's Crazy Shark Gang and Hongmen, who were far away on Dayuan Island, cooperated together.

"Next, let our brothers continue to be steady, and don't behave in a disorderly manner."

In his own manor, Zheng Zhiyan, as his gang's deputy in the armed forces, led more than a dozen backbone members of the gang to gather together in the name of the party to conduct secret deliberations.

"Then don't we have to wait for the brothers to come forward in the matter of the sea?"

Zheng Zhiyan asked with some concern.

"I believe in the strength of their Shark Gang, didn't the game they set up last time do a very clean job?"

Zheng Zhilong has no doubts about the ability of his partner, the British pirate leader Jack who set up a trap for Fei Jue and their Spaniards in Kupang Harbor last time is a member of the Shark Gang.

As for why there are whites and blacks in the Shark Gang, Zheng Zhilong doesn't want to ask, and he won't be curious, because doesn't his own team also have a few white faces and more than a hundred white captives?

"In the next few days, the turmoil on the sea will be even greater, so that our brothers will have nothing to do and wait for less time to go out to the sea to wander!"

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong did not forget to remind the group of rough people around him a few words, as for what would happen next, he did not tell them in detail.

"Understood!"

Sure enough, the pirate incident on the sea did not subside because Zheng Zhilong and Lincoln found clues such as pirates, but became more and more turbulent.

It's just that now it is no longer the caravans and warships of the Dutch East India Company that are being plundered by pirates, but the sea ships and even warships of other Western merchants.

The elusive pirate fleet, like a hornet that has been stabbed in a honeycomb, roams everywhere without saying a word, and will catch up and bite any suspicious ship on the sea.

In the meantime, there was the unlucky fellow, who disappeared without a trace with the man and the boat, and did not know whether he was dead or alive; There were also many lucky escapees, and after fleeing back to their sphere of influence, most of them said in unison that although these pirates were masked, they spoke Spanish with a Dutch accent when they communicated, which made many European powers, including Spaniards and Portuguese, gradually rise in dissatisfaction with the Dutch people.

When the Dutch Far East Fleet attacked Kupang Port earlier, they released the message that Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue of the Kupang Harbor garrison colluded with the local pirates of the company, which was unfavorable to their East India Company.

But until now, no one has seen the real proof, and Lieutenant Colonel Fei Jue, who could have testified, suddenly died in the company prison for no reason, and the doctor inquisited that it was an infection of the wound caused by excessive punishment, but in such a sensitive time, the death of such an important witness also made the people of the Dutch Jawa Governor's Mansion feel a little speechless.

"Crazy, crazy, these pirates are crazy!!"

Governor Dander was no longer able to do so, and all the forces in his hands had been put into Indonesian waters, but he had never caught the ghost-like pirate gang, but because he had tracked down the pirates, he was repeatedly taken to the scene of the incident and became a suspicious object in the eyes of others.

"It's the inability of the subordinate to disgrace Your Excellency!"

Lincoln bowed his head and said ashamedly.

"I can't blame you for this, you are not familiar with this sea area, and the number of fleets is limited, if you disperse, you are more likely to be eaten by the other party."

The more times like this, the more calm Governor Dandell is, at least he won't do anything to cut off his arm.

"How's it going over there with the Wyverns? Is there any abnormality? ”

Since the last secret meeting, after Lincoln told Governor Dandel about his suspicions and his reasons, Governor Dandel, who was already wary of the Han Chinese, did not assign too many tasks to the Wyvern Gang, but increased the number of people to monitor them.

"Nope."

Colonel Lincoln shook his head.

"Is there a mistake in our suspicions?"

At this time, Governor Dandel missed more and more the time when Zheng Zhilong used it for himself under his own hands, and although he did not say that every task was successfully completed, he did not let himself be in a dilemma and was very sad like now.

"Xia Guan feels that they are more suspicious!"

Lincoln, however, remained steadfast in his suspicions.

"Your Excellency, if I am in the position of Zheng Zhilong and them, and now that most of the territory is invaded by other pirate gangs, I will never be indifferent."

"Moreover, some time ago, Your Excellency ordered the Wyverns to restrain their behavior, which has made their lives more stressful, and they should be very happy to have such a group of pirates as their target. After all, the more chaotic the sea, the more suitable it is for them to profit from it, and the least thing they can do is to find out the lair of this gang of pirates, and it is also a big profit to come to the black and eat the black. ”

"However, until now, instead of sending a large-scale team to profit from the chaos, their Wyvern Gang has shrunk their fleet as if it were prescient, as if it was to clear up the current situation in Indonesian waters and have nothing to do with them."

"As the most familiar pirate gang in the area, Xia Guan doesn't think that their Wyvern Gang has no news about this gang of pirates, but until now, they seem to know nothing, except for the time when they lured us to attack Kupang, they have not provided any valid information."

"However, almost all of the members of the Wyvern Gang who have ascended the throne do not have any abnormalities now, so where did they get so many warships and sailors to make such a big mess?"

While acknowledging that Colonel Lincoln had some point, when Governor Dandell felt that he was short on manpower, he was able to think of a plausible reason for the Wyverns' current problems.

"This is indeed what Xia Guan has been unable to figure out."

Colonel Lincoln likewise acknowledged the Governor's reasonableness and gave him an affirmative attitude.

"If you talk about the sea area of the Far East now, in addition to our European forces, there is also this strength to disturb the entire sea area, except for the Flying Dragon Gang, there is only Hongmen far away on Dayuan Island."

"But with the hatred between the Flying Dragon Gang and Hongmen, as well as the character of Zheng Zhilong, he shouldn't cooperate with Hongmen."

"Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless this is a secret conspiracy between other European forces and the Wyverns to subvert our dominance in the Indonesian archipelago!!"
