At noon, Zhang Lin gathered the sailors of the Hope, and prepared to go back to arrange the mercenaries' families, according to Zhang Lin's plan, Delin escorted the mercenaries' families back to the Pirate Alliance, but Zhang Lin felt that the form there was more complicated, and was ready to go in person!

On the dock, Zhang Lin and Smith said goodbye, "Mr. Smith, I'm leaving, I've been disturbed a lot recently, and I hope you will bear with me!" ”

"Don't get in the way, Mr. Zhang Lin can be sure that he will go, the situation over there is not very good now, you have to be more careful!" Smith was well aware of the Pirate Alliance's intelligence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Lin nodded to indicate that he knew, but there were some things that had to be done, and time was pressing, Zhang Lin boarded the Hope, and as the heavy whistle of the Hope sounded, the Hope slowly sailed out of Smith's shipyard and headed for Freedom City.

"Where are we now?" Zhang Lin was working out the route to the Storm Strait all the way, and didn't pay attention to the forward route of the Hope!

"Sir, we are less than a day away from Liberty City, and we will arrive early tomorrow morning!" After Delin answered Zhang Lin's question, he said to Zhang Lin: "By the way, sir, Li Li sent us a telegram just now, seeing that you have been busy, I didn't bother you. ”

"What content, read and listen!" Zhang Lin is still looking down to study the situation on the Pirate Alliance's side, and now the form is more complicated, so it's right to be cautious!

"Your Excellency Zhang Lin, we have completed your orders, we can leave and set off!" After reading the telegram, Delin said to Zhang Lin: "Sir, Li Li is a more reliable person, you can transfer him to the flagship to focus on training, he can be a mercenary for such a long time, there must be something extraordinary!" ”

Zhang Lin put down the pencil in his hand, and the map had been marked by him, "I know, let him follow me after a while, Delin, look at the map, what's wrong?" ”

Delin began to study the map marked by Zhang Lin, and ten minutes later, "The chief is worthy of being a high-achieving student who graduated from the Imperial Naval University, and the first-hand map is very beautiful, among the officers I have seen, no one has done a good job as the commander, but now from the map, there is no problem, but the situation is changing rapidly, and the situation is complicated......"

Zhang Lin nodded in agreement, "Yes, according to the existing intelligence, this can only be done, according to the intelligence, the situation is complicated now, and the preparation can only be done this!" ”

Early the next morning, the Hope appeared in the harbor of Liberty City!

"Delin informs the mercenaries to assemble, I have something to announce!" Zhang Lin was at the dock and asked Delin to find Li Li and them.

Li Li Jinzhe and several people came to the dock under the leadership of Delin, and Zhang Lin was asking the arms dealer to fill the Hope with fuel at this time!

"Sir, they're coming!" After Delin led Li Li to Zhang Lin, he went to check the maintenance work of the Hope, Zhang Lin looked at several mercenary captains, "Everyone is here, I'll make a long story short, report your staffing first?" ”

"Sir, the Spirit is currently staffed at 1,230 men!" Li Li was the first to report the staffing of his battleship: "After the last battle, there were heavy casualties, and I haven't replenished the staffing yet!" ”

Jin Zhe also sighed, "There are only nine hundred and seventy-three people on the Force, one battleship, and there are so many people left, it can be said that it has been disabled!" ”

"Yes, I am in a similar situation with Kim Chol, and there are only 1,120 people left in the crew of the battleship Kongo, and 50% of the personnel have been lost!" Liu Jun is also embarrassed about his own situation!

"How's your doing?" In the face of Zhang Lin's inquiry, his expression was very sad!

"The Intrepid is a light cruiser, and there are currently six hundred and thirty people left, which can be said to be the battleship with the largest casualties in this operation!" Tang Bin, the captain of the Insatiable, was still a little difficult to accept the loss of the Insatiable, "So many good brothers are just gone......"

Zhang Lin walked up to Tang Bin, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted, "Now everyone's situation is very bad, the staffing is not complete, and it is impossible to find suitable personnel for a period of time, so it is difficult to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the battleship!" ”

Several captains bowed their heads and acquiesced, "However, it's not like there's no solution!" Zhang Lin changed his words, "I'm going to gather all your personnel together and start training again, we only keep two warships!" ”

When several captains heard Zhang Lin say this, they were very strange: "Sir, shouldn't we supplement the establishment and reorganize the personnel?" Why downsize? ”

"I have a battleship, I need more than 3,200 sailors to operate in the best condition, and I need you to complete some training at the moment, I will arrange this!"

"So, sir, what about our battleship?" Li Li asked the question in the captain's heart!

"Your warships will be sealed first, and then the personnel will be replenished, and then we will mainly train unity and cooperation now, which is necessary and a guarantee of combat effectiveness! Do you have any objections to this special six-month intensive training for you to improve the military quality of the soldiers? ”

Several captains looked at each other and said in unison: "Sir, we have no objection!" "Several captains also understand their own shortcomings and deficiencies, the poor military quality of the soldiers is one thing, and the free and loose personnel are fatal, after all, they are mercenaries, and they cannot be compared with the regular navy, and the combat effectiveness is mainly mentioned in several aspects, the navy that has undergone formal training can do the order and prohibition, no matter how critical the situation, can truthfully carry out the commander's orders, which greatly improves the survivability of the warship, and can also ensure that the warship can play the greatest combat effectiveness!

"Very good, I will give you a task, go back and select the best personnel you think, I want three thousand two hundred, a few of you will discuss it, and the rest of the personnel, they will be used as reserves, can these be done?"

"No problem, sir, let's do it!" When several captains were about to leave to carry out Zhang Lin's order, Zhang Lin stopped them!

"Wait a while, tomorrow I plan to send your family members to our base, all prepare, we will leave in the afternoon, if there is no problem, we will prepare, and tell you that the situation on the Pirate Alliance's side is more complicated, I hope you are ready, and it will be safe when you arrive at our harbor!" Zhang Lin truthfully told these captains the news, and made sure that they were prepared for the situation on the Pirate Alliance's side!

"Understood, sir, we know how to do it, please rest assured!" After several captains finished speaking, they said goodbye to Zhang Lin and prepared to do what Zhang Lin explained!

Then Zhang Lin arranged for Delin to check the situation of the Hope, and it was necessary that there should be no accidents, and at the same time, Zhang Lin was ready to let Smith transfer a few warships to him to escort the ship and avoid accidents!
