Zhang Lin sent a telegram to Smith, asking Smith to send him a few warships to escort him, and Smith agreed, but there was no Smith's battleship in Free City, and Smith asked the battleship to go to the Sidewinder Strait, and only when it reached the Sidewinder Strait would there be warship support.

Now that everything is ready, Zhang Lin studied the route again at night, as well as the response methods for various emergencies, and Zhang Lin fell asleep after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night!

At noon the next day, the seven cruise ships were ready, Zhang Lin completed the routine inspection on the Hope, as the seven cruise ships slowly left the port, the Hope followed them, the Mingyue Sea is currently relatively safe, as long as you don't go to the northern waters, you will basically not encounter pirates, and if you meet alone, the Hope can easily solve it.

It took six days to reach the Rattlesnake Strait, and the No. 1 oil depot of the Hope had been consumed for most of it, but the destroyer's endurance was a headache, Zhang Lin considered that it was necessary to buy a large supply ship, and after Montana was delivered, he would immediately buy a supply ship from Smith!

In the vicinity of the Rattlesnake Strait, Zhang Lin notified Smith, and Smith handed Zhang Lin a coordinate, and noted that what was handed over to Zhang Lin was a light cruiser, two heavy cruisers, and no battleships, because the road was long, and it would waste a lot of time for the battleships to support it, Zhang Lin also understood what Smith meant, and then the Hope went to the coordinates explained by Smith, and prepared to make peace with the battleship sent by Smith, after all, it has now arrived in the Sidewinder Strait, and I don't know if the Blue Moon Empire still controls the Sidewinder Strait, Zhang Lin is going to let the Hope go to scout and let the battleship sent by Smith escort it!

It took four hours for Zhang Lin to find the battleship sent by Smith, in a small bay!

When the Hope arrived here, the three battleships sent a telegram to the Hope, Smith had already told his men the side number of the Hope, and when the side number of the Hope was observed, the three cruisers contacted Zhang Lin directly, Zhang Lin exchanged a few words with the three captains, and then explained the situation to them a little, one of the captains said: "Mr. Zhang Lin, we have received Mr. Smith's request that after the mission is completed, all actions will be under your command!" The other two captains nodded in agreement!

In this way, Zhang Lin feels that he has a greater grasp, after all, only by obeying the command can he give full play to the strength of the team!

Zhang Lin told them the news that the Hope went to the Sidewinder Strait to reconnoiter the intelligence, and asked them to escort the cruise ship first, and the three captains assured Zhang Lin at the same time: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang Lin, if you want to hurt them, sink us first!" Hearing them say this, Zhang Lin was also a little relieved, Smith's subordinates could still be trusted.

After the fleet handed over the three cruisers, the Hope turned off the detection radar and sailed towards the Sidewinder Strait, the Sidewinder Strait was stormy and rough, and the seaworthiness of the destroyer was not suitable for such bad sea conditions, and it would cause a great shadow on the aiming of the ship's guns, and the narrowest part of the Sidewinder Strait was only more than 60 meters, and the Montana class could only sail in one direction!

After sailing half the distance in the Rattlesnake Strait, he did not send any forces to garrison here, and then continued to sail, Zhang Lin also felt strange in his heart, under normal circumstances, if he occupied this place by himself, he would definitely send troops to garrison here, a choke point, it must be a place where soldiers must fight.

Then Zhang Lin arrived at the side of the Rattlesnake Strait Territory, which was an open body of water, and at the exit, there were several destroyers cruising, judging from the flag, it was the battleship of the Blue Moon Empire Navy! Sure enough, the Blue Moon Empire still controls here, and when these navies have not yet discovered the Hope, Zhang Lin ordered to turn the bow of the ship and return, ready to discuss how to pass through here safely, the detour is too far, with the endurance of the Hope, it cannot be reached at all, and it can only pass here!

After returning to the fleet, the intelligence detected by the Hope was reported to the fleet, and just when everyone was worried about how to pass through the Sidewinder Strait safely, the captain sent by Smith said to Zhang Lin with a smile: "This is the hour, don't worry, this matter is left to me." ”

"Are you sure?" Zhang Lin was very strange, could he really have a way to pass through the Rattlesnake Strait?

"Mr. Zhang Lin, Mr. Smith has long-term cooperation with the military departments of various countries, don't worry! They will definitely give Mr. Smith face, after all, there are some things they still beg Mr. Smith! ”

When Zhang Lin heard this, he was relieved, Smith is a big arms dealer, and he has cooperated very closely with the military department of the Reims Empire before, under normal circumstances, the navies of various countries will not embarrass the arms dealers, maybe when they will ask for others, if they offend the arms dealers, they will definitely not give you the best quality arms, so you can cry when the time comes!

Then, the three cruisers raised the flag on a black background, with two rounds of revolvers crossed over them, and a circle of bullets around the edges, enclosing the two pistols inside! Then a flag was sent to the Hope, which was raised by Zhang Lin, and several cruise ships also raised this flag, and then the fleet formed a line and began to pass through the Rattlesnake Strait!

When they arrived on the other side of the Rattlesnake Strait, although several destroyers of the Blue Moon Empire Navy sent Zhang Lin's fleet first, but when they saw the flag raised by the battleship, they just routinely inspected it and let it go, after inspecting the Hope, the officer who inspected it looked at the Hope a few more times, which made the sailors of the Hope break out in a cold sweat, and thought that the Hope had aroused the suspicion of others, Zhang Lin ordered, let everyone stay calm and not panic!

Then, the officer didn't see anything, and let him go with a wave of his hand!

The fleet passed through the Rattlesnake Strait without danger, and Zhang Lin fortunately asked Smith to send someone to escort it, otherwise he might not even be able to pass through the Rattlesnake Strait!

After passing through the Rattlesnake Strait, there are supply ships of the Blue Moon Empire's navy all the way, it seems that the war is tight here, could it be that the pirate alliance has been defeated and has no power to fight back?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lin felt that it was impossible, the Pirate Alliance had been operating here for so many years, and naturally there was a reason for his existence, it was impossible for the Blue Moon Empire to defeat the Pirate Alliance in such a short time, the strategic location here was very good, everyone could see that there were many countries that had paid attention to it before and failed to conquer it, it is certain that the strength of the Pirate Alliance, the Blue Moon Empire must have launched this war after a long period of planning, under the banner of exterminating the pirates, and when the time comes, the territory will definitely be taken over by the Blue Moon Empire, This is already a well-known thing!

The Hope led the fleet all the way to the Storm Strait, and along the way, I saw many battleships of the Blue Moon Empire Navy retreating from the front, and every battleship was scarred, it seems that the Blue Moon Empire did not fall to the advantage in this war!
