Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhang Lin led the fleet and left the Rakic Harbor, and when he left, he didn't forget to show off his might, and several bigwigs of the pirate alliance jumped straight to their feet, but their arrogant fleet couldn't help it!
As the fleet went all the way south, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, in the Storm Strait, although the temperature was close to 30 degrees, but it did not make people feel uncomfortable, but when the fleet approached the Sidewinder Strait, the temperature reached about 35 degrees, the cabin in the Liberty, although well ventilated, but the temperature was still close to 40 degrees, some of the sailors had a slight heat stroke, the high temperature made the sailors' work efficiency a little low, the captain's room, the temperature was also very high, Zhang Lin went to the restaurant, and let the restaurant prepare a large amount of chilled fresh water for the sailorsto quench the thirst of the sailors!
In the battleship, the working environment is not very good, the hot weather is a great test of the physical strength of the sailors, but none of the sailors left their jobs because of this, which makes Zhang Lin very satisfied, after all, this is also a reflection of combat effectiveness!
After bypassing the Rattlesnake Strait, Zhang Lin encountered the Fifth Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire Navy, and the two sides were tense, because it was night, the two sides didn't know who they were encountering! As the battleships of the Blue Moon Empire Navy shot a large number of flares into the sky, they were stunned by the scene in front of them, three huge battleships were not far away, and dozens of huge guns were pointed at them, which made the commander of the Blue Moon Empire's Fifth Fleet break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the Freedom, saying that it was a misunderstanding, which made an encounter avoided! Otherwise, the formation of the Fifth Fleet may become history!
After arriving at the predetermined coordinate waters, the five Hope-class destroyers replenished their fuel and began to patrol and reconnoiter in the surrounding waters, according to the information given by Li Li, in just these two days, the merchant ships of the Reagan family will pass by here, and Zhang Lin will wait here!
But everything didn't go so smoothly, two days passed, several destroyers did not find anything, a few merchant ships passed, and there were no Reagan merchant ships, it was clear on the third day, Zhang Lin was going to give up, thinking that he had missed this opportunity, and the Hope sent a communication to report to the Reagan family's merchant fleet, and Zhang Lin immediately ordered to prepare to go to the location of the Hope!
The Hope entangled the merchant ships there, but the other side had three light cruisers and six destroyers to escort the ship, the Hope was not in a good situation, Zhang Lin looked at the distress signal sent by the Hope: "Order the fleet to be ready for combat and support the Hope at full speed!" ā
The distance between the two sides was not far, and it only took an hour for Zhang Lin to rush to the position of the Hope, the Hope was shot on the bridge, and three anti-aircraft guns were damaged, and the damage was not great, and the Reagan family's merchant ship was dragged by the Hope, and now the situation is not good for them!
The Victory was the first to fire, and the roar of nine 406 mm naval guns attracted the attention of the Reagan family's escort fleet, but Zhang Lin's order was to intimidate the other party, so the main gun of the Victory did not hit the other party, but the huge splash attracted the attention of the other party!
Zhang Lin took a look in the observation scope, a total of thirteen merchant ships, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Correspondent, invent a code telegram for the other party, saying that they have been robbed!" ā
As the Liberty finished sending the telegram, the merchant ship was obviously panicked, the gap between the forces of the two sides was huge, and it was impossible to escape under Zhang Lin's men!
"Commander, there's a telegram from the other side!" The correspondent handed over the telegram to Zhang Lin!
Zhang Lin unfolded the telegram, glanced at it, said that he used 200,000 gold coins as road money, and begged Zhang Lin to let them go, Zhang Lin tore the telegram to pieces and threw it into the paper basket: "With some money, it is not enough for the oil money of my fleet, order all the battleships, the main guns are ready to shoot, and the salvo will be fired in thirty seconds!" ā
With Zhang Lin's order, the main guns of the Liberty, Victory and Pioneer began to load ammunition nervously, and in thirty seconds, with the help of the automatic loader, the shells were all in full condition!
"Fire!"
"Boom!" Almost at the same time, the main guns of these battleships opened fire at the same time, with the help of advanced fire control radar, almost devastating blow to the fleet escorted by the Reagan family, although not a single battleship was sunk, but almost every battleship was hit by one or two shells, and the hull was seriously damaged, and when Zhang Lin was ready to order the second salvo of main guns, the escorting fleet all turned the bow and fled in a hurry, which made Zhang Lin dumbfounded! "How did they escape?"
This is obviously not in accordance with the rules, and I ran away before I even fought! However, Zhang Lin did not order the pursuit, and let those battleships leave!
An operational staff officer said to Zhang Lin: "Commander, that may be a mercenary, it is normal to escape, the Reagan family is a vassal, and it is normal not to have their own fleet!" ā
Zhang Lin touched his chin: "So that's the case!" Order the fleet to come up, and we're starting to loot! ā
With Zhang Lin's order, all the battleships were like crazy, and they swarmed up, and as soon as they heard the robbery, almost all the sailors' eyes glowed like hungry wolves!
Zhang Lin suddenly felt that these guys were not suitable for the navy, or pirates were more suitable for them!
More than a dozen warships surrounded this merchant ship, and when Zhang Lin arrived, these guys had already controlled all the people on the merchant ship, and those people knelt on the deck of the merchant ship tremblingly, Jin Zhe was interrogating a few captains there, and after seeing Zhang Lin coming to the merchant ship, he left and trotted over: "Sir, we caught a big fish this time!" ā
"Oh, what's there!" Zhang Lin asked!
"Sir, come with me!" Jin Zhe took Zhang Lin to the cargo hold of the merchant ship, which contained many neatly stacked wooden boxes, exuding fragrance: "Open these boxes!" ā
Several sailors who accompanied him worked together to pry open the box and scratch the sack inside the card with a dagger, and a powder-filled item appeared inside: "Is this a psychedelic dream?" Zhang Lin asked Jin Zhe!
Jin Zhe grabbed a little powder with his hand and put it under his nose and sniffed it: "Sir, this is not a psychedelic dream, but a precious spice, added to food!" ā
"Is this a natural product?" Zhang Lin asked!
"Yes, it seems that on the side of the Morgan Empire, there is this, and the spice output is very expensive!" Kim Chol replied!
Then Zhang Lin inspected all the warehouses of this merchant ship, and did not find psychedelic dreams, but all kinds of spices, which made Zhang Lin feel a little strange, Li Li's intelligence detailed that there were a lot of psychedelic dreams in this batch of goods! "Look for other merchant ships!"
Subsequently, Zhang Lin inspected the merchant ships one by one, and finally found a blue crystal in the cargo hold of the third merchant ship, which was hidden very secretly, exuding a strange fragrance: "It seems that this is a psychedelic dream!" ā
"Jin Zhe, send someone to check how many psychedelic dreams there are, and report to me after finding out!" Zhang Lin tightly squeezed the psychedelic dream in his hand and said to Jin Zhe!
"Yes, Commander, you guys, follow me!"
