In the port of Rakich, a destroyer slowly left, and then began to accelerate into the inland sea, this destroyer was named the Hope, and the meaning of Zhang Lin is obvious. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info is to bring hope!

Zhang Lin did not decorate the Hope with a pirate flag, but an eagle with wings spread, and behind the eagle was a rising sun symbolizing hope and freedom! This is the truest thought in Zhang Lin's heart, to bring hope and freedom to this world, and for this he will be a conquest and use violence against a few!

After a period of training, the sailors on the Hope are also very calm under the leadership of the sailors of the old Edward, after all, in war, calmness can judge the form well, so as to ensure that they can survive!

The speed of the Hope is very fast, the cruising speed reaches twenty-four knots, and the full speed can reach forty knots plus long-range torpedoes, it can be said that it is a top-level destroyer, in a naval battle, it is not realistic for a destroyer to sink cruisers and battleships with its main guns, it mainly relies on torpedoes, and long-range torpedoes can give the enemy a surprise attack at a great distance to achieve unexpected results!

In Beiyangzhou, in the hot sun area, a search merchant ship is sailing at a high speed, but after all, it is a merchant ship, the speed is very slow, and the destroyer of a search pirate behind is slowly chasing, just like a cat playing with a mouse, Zhang Lin saw it clearly in the observation glass, and then showed a smile and said to Delin: "The praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, this time we will do a yellow finch!" ”

Delin looked puzzled, Zhang Lin didn't bother to explain to him, carefully observe the surrounding situation, Zhang Lin didn't want a hunter behind, now Zhang Lin ordered to approach slowly to avoid being discovered by pirates!

The merchant ship was almost desperate, and he ran away with all his might, but the pirate was a search destroyer, the speed was much faster than the merchant ship, there was no chance to escape at all, the merchant ship began to slow down, and the senseless escape might anger the pirates, in case the merchant ship was sunk, it would not be worth it, and now only by cooperating with the pirates can there be a chance to live!

Just when the merchant ship had just stopped, Zhang Lin ordered the cannon, the two sides were ten kilometers apart, and the probability of hitting was still very high, but the combat effectiveness of a battleship was slowly cultivated, and the first salvo of the main gun did not achieve an effective hit, but the small-caliber main gun was loaded quickly, and it was reloaded once every four seconds, and then continued to shoot.

However, at this time, the pirates also noticed the anomaly, found the Hope, and then began to counterattack, both sides began to fire the main guns, and the merchant ship took this opportunity to start to escape, but when the pirates left, a cannonball broke the rudder of the merchant ship, completely paralyzing the merchant ship.

A group of rabble and a group of well-trained sailors engaged in naval battles, the results can be imagined, and the destroyer sacrificed protection to improve their flexibility and speed, the damage of being hit by the shells can be imagined, after three salvos on both sides, the hope took the lead in achieving an effective hit, and the two shells hit the bow of the pirate destroyer, the pirate destroyer was also unlucky, and a fire broke out in the bow directly, Zhang Lin gave full play to the maneuverability and speed of the destroyer, and all kinds of twisting the hull, dangerous and dangerous must pass all the pirates' shells, The angry pirate leader was furious, but he had a retreat in his heart, ready to give the order to escape!

But they didn't seem to be very lucky, four more shells hit the center of the hull, directly damaged the pirate destroyer's engine, thick black smoke mixed with sparks came out of the chimney of the pirate destroyer, Zhang Lin then ordered to twist the hull, the torpedo launcher aimed at the pirate's destroyer, the two torpedoes dragged a white trail, quietly attacked the pirate ship, the hope then twisted its body away, to avoid being too close to be hit by the enemy, the pirate destroyer was sunk is only a matter of time, all Zhang Lin has to do is wait, Engine damage is not something that can be repaired in a moment, and at this distance, it only takes less than a minute for the Hope's torpedo to hit the opponent, so there will be no surprises at all.

At this time, the pirate leader was very crazy: "Hasn't the engine been repaired yet?" Then hit that destroyer hard, and I'm going to sink it. ”

The Hope didn't want to waste a single round of ammunition at all, and at this time Zhang Lin just ordered to dodge the local shells and not to fire back!

Just after the fifth salvo of the Corsair was fired, the radar of the entire captain's room began to sound an alarm

"A torpedo was found on the starboard side!"

"The torpedo approached the starboard side!"

But the destroyer couldn't make any evasive actions at all, and could only watch the torpedo approach quickly, until it was hit, two torpedoes dragged a white trail, one after the other hit the center of the hull, the large-caliber torpedo directly blew the pirate's destroyer into two sections, and a large number of pirates jumped into the sea in order to escape, and at this time Zhang Lin began to turn the bow of the ship, and sailed towards the place where the pirate ship began to sink, he wanted to start robbing, for the robbery of merchant ships, Zhang Lin couldn't get by with a conscience, but robbed the pirates, Zhang Lin didn't have the slightest softness, and he was happy!

Then Zhang Lin arrested the pirate leader who fell into the water, and the others left him to fend for himself, Zhang Lin would not have any mercy to these pirates at all, and most of the sailors on the Hope were teenagers who were persecuted by pirates, and they were happy from the bottom of their hearts for Zhang Lin to do this, this person not only gave them revenge, but also had outstanding command ability, and there would be no mistake with him!

Of course, Zhang Lin didn't know that this made those teenagers more loyal to him, the reason why he didn't just these pirates was that these guys had a lot of blood debts on their hands, and it was already cheap for them to fend for themselves, and it was a gift to them if they didn't kill them all with the anti-aircraft cannons on the Hope, and Zhang Lin didn't want to directly let his hands be covered with blood, although these people would eventually die because of themselves!

And the captain of the merchant ship was already desperate at this time, the dead jackal, the tiger came, and he was still doomed to be robbed! But I hope that after the pirate ship is robbed, it can spare the lives of the people on this boat!

Zhang Lin said to the radar officer: "Invent a code telegram for merchant ships and tell them that we will not rob them!" ”

Then the merchant ship received a telegram from the Hope, and the captain of the merchant ship, who was watching the Hope from the deck, was so worried that the captain was still angry when the first mate came to call him, but when the first mate said that it was good news, the captain asked, "What good news, isn't it bad enough?" ”

"Look at it, the destroyer sent it!" The first mate handed the telegram to the captain.

After the captain read it, he became very excited, and then he was very nervous, he was afraid that Zhang Lin was just trying to coax him, when the Hope discharged a search boat with the damage control personnel to repair the steering rudder of the merchant ship, the captain of the merchant ship completely let go, and then invited Zhang Lin to sit on the merchant ship, he thanked himself, but Zhang Lin refused, and made a request to the captain, that is, to pay himself 10,000 gold coins for the repair cost, the captain was very happy to pay, compared to this ship of goods, this 10,000 gold coins is nothing, Moreover, the other party repaired his own ship, and the repair cost of 10,000 gold coins is not expensive, if he wants more!

Then Zhang Lin left with the Hope, and Zhang Lin's behavior became the foundation for him to gain strong support from businessmen after the founding of the People's Republic of China!
