Chapter 662: A Critical Moment

In 3 days, the high-speed cargo ship passed through the Strait of Malacca, which naturally encountered some pirates to obstruct it, and now in the Strait of Malacca, the number of pirates is huge, and they will collide together, but these ships, at least more than 40, have undergone strict training of soldiers, they are part of Yang Yuanzhao's escort team, each of which is carefully selected from the special combat team.

The selected clippers are all all-steel steamers, and some 155 caliber guns and 30-60 mm machine guns are placed on them, these things, for the pirate ships, the threat is several big, can not hold their breath, for these cargo ships, are also some of the weak in the pirate group, the real main force, must be in some places, ready to ambush the fleet in the northwest, they will not do it.

Xiao Jianfeng's eyes were solemn, and when he came, Yang Yuanzhao had specially instructed him that on the one hand, he needed to take the reconnaissance battalion of the Nanyang First Division, and on the other hand, he also took a look at what was going on in Malacca.

Only if you come in person, you will understand that the situation in Malacca has become so dangerous, pirates are operating here unscrupulously, this is the first time since the British East Asian Fleet was stationed in Singapore, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, even if it is for the safety of the waterway, Britain will not be so laissez-faire, obviously, this is deliberate, only a few hundred nautical miles of voyages, there are at least 10 pirates with names and surnames, including the largest pirate organizations, Yang Yuanzhao's consideration was right, the British were in private and wanted to use pirates to deal with their fleet.

At this moment, Xiao Jianfeng didn't dare to stay longer, the speed of the ship has always been fast, and sometimes, even just a few cannons, after breaking through the pirate block, he left directly.

From the separate position, all the way to Myanmar, more than 1,000 nautical miles of voyage, plus less than 600 nautical miles in the Strait of Malacca, the clipper has always maintained high speed, it only took 3 days to get to Guò, after arriving in Myanmar, according to the map given before, to find the location of the Chinese farm, of course, such a big ship, it is impossible to dock near the farm, there is no port here, and there can be no port.

Xiao Jianfeng has a way, after entering the vicinity of Myanmar, Xiao Jianfeng took out a transceiver that had already prepared a radio, which is currently in the fourth generation of radio transceivers, his limit is about 350 kilometers, and the sensitivity is extremely high, and there are radio and base stations on the farm, which has cost a huge price, and the northwest has established a base station for each of these farms, and the distance between each other is tens of miles, hundreds of miles, and the base station and radio can be used to communicate, even if it is at sea, and now the nearest base station, It is also no more than 250 kilometers away, and once you contact any of the base stations, you can contact the farm.

Yang Shu and Zhao Guowang have been anxious for the past few days, and they only received a report yesterday that a large number of pirates are concentrated in Malacca, and they don't know what they want to do.

Southeast Asia, has always been relatively poor, except for the colonists who have money, there are not many rich places, but the Chinese are one of them, whether the pirates want to concentrate on the Chinese, or discover the secret of the plantation, want to attack the plantation, no matter what, always have to protect it.

Yang Shuxia made great efforts to investigate, during this time, although he contacted the Chinese here in Nanyang, there was not much effect, and several Chinese rich people were just on the street, those people were relatively cautious, and they would not make a move, for hundreds of years, under the fence, if they couldn't even do this, they would break out with a little teasing, and the Chinese would have been uprooted long ago.

The task of contacting the Chinese family was not completed, but some intelligence networks were distributed, and the information obtained from these was summarized here in Yangshu, more and more, and the intelligence became clearer and clearer.

This shocked Yang Shu, found Zhao Guowang, and analyzed it a little, at present, Southeast Asia, it is worth these pirates to gather together, there are not many people who commit crimes together, the great powers transport gold ships or large caravans, but I haven't heard of it for a while, and besides, pirates are not stupid, Britain just doesn't want to spend a lot of effort against them, once they make a fuss, they have no place to spend it.

Weighing everything, a staff officer seemed to subconsciously say, there is no other fleet, could it be that a large fleet has come over recently.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Yang Yuanzhao's trip to Europe, in the northwest, in the South Seas, only a small number of people know, and only Yang Shu and Zhao Guowang know that he came back with a large number of fleets, and Yang Shu got a notice from the Northwest secret line telegram because Yang Yuanzhao might stay here, and Zhao Guowang was also Yang Shu's sue sù, in order to solve the problem of Yang Yuanzhao's basic security.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes, Britain and France did not deal with the northwest, and secretly used many tricks, such as the rubber crisis and the cotton crisis, all in order to deal with the northwest, and also entered the war with Russia.

Now that Yang Yuanzhao has returned to China with a large-scale fleet, even if he gets the approval of Britain and France, they will also make a lot of profits, but small actions will definitely be done, will this pirate target the president.

The more the two of them thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible, and they investigated the information they had obtained these days, and even contacted the northwest to inquire about Yang Yuanzhao's location, and the final result was that the pirates were coming for that fleet.

What should I do, Yang Shu panicked all of a sudden, as the first person in charge of the Northwest stationed in Nanyang, he can be regarded as one of the high-level leaders in the Northwest, and he is very clear about Yang Yuanzhao's status in the Northwest, the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families, the real core of the Northwest, these are all despised, it can be said that every achievement in the Northwest has a close relationship with him, once he has a problem, maybe the entire Northwest will be in chaos.

However, at this time, the northwest only knew the approximate location of Yang Yuanzhao, and in the cable telegrams of the British ports, only some basic information could be transmitted, and the really important telegrams could only be sent through Guò reliable or German intelligence networks, which was a bit blind.

The northwest side quickly started, through the three pronged efforts of Germany, Harpy, and the Nanyang side, to inform Yang Yuanzhao, but at this moment, Yang Yuanzhao was pretending to be sick in the port of Colombo, and he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the British, and even had problems with supplies and fresh water, let alone using the telegraph, and he couldn't find it, and he couldn't be notified.

Just when Poplar was in a hurry and wanted to break the ship, and sent people to Malacca to find the fleet, a coded telegram was transmitted directly to the radio transceiver in the form of a guò radio, and the code was not from the plantation here, but an unfamiliar code.

Finally got in touch, Xiao Jianfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, he communicated with Yang Shu about the current situation through dense messages, and his brows furrowed, obviously, the severity of the matter, even above his imagination, most of the large groups of pirates in Southeast Asia have been united together to form a group, tens of thousands of people plus thousands of ships, jointly attacking the fleet, the shape is far more severe than he imagined.

What to do, this is lingering in the hearts of Yang Shu and Xiao Jianfeng, according to the monthly agreement with Yang Yuanzhao, the fleet that should have arrived in Malacca in 4 days may be delayed for three days, and it will arrive in 7 days, they must let the fleet have the minimum protection ability, but a battalion, supporting 1,000 people, is not the opponent of pirates at all, tens of thousands of pirates, thousands of ships, it is not okay not to damage, if there are really more people, it will make Britain and other powers pay attention, and the situation in the South Seas will be completely problematic at that time. It's been more than four years of hard work.

Xiao Jianfeng's expression was resolute, and he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, all their previous thoughts were pinned on the help of the fleet and weapons, with the help of the scouts, to repel the pirates, because of the fear that the British would find out that the personnel were about 1,000 people, but if they found another way, did not choose to defend, but chose to attack, there would be a lot of room for this.

Tong guò poplar, Xiao Jianfeng knows, Borneo side, a total of more than 70,000 military forces, they are all strictly trained, this group of people is worthy of belief, as long as 5,000 people are mobilized, plus enough ships, and then through the guò side of the small pirate organization, mixed into the pirates, when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, can not annihilate the pirate army, can always disturb the pirates, as long as the purpose of the pirates can not be achieved, drag the pirates, let the ships pass through Malacca, Next, with some of Germany's destroyers and the fleet's own force, it is enough to defend itself in the South China Sea.

Time was too late, Xiao Jianfeng quickly reached an agreement with Poplar Tree, through the channel of Guò Poplar, searched some ships throughout Southeast Asia, even counting fishing boats, finally filled 200 boats of all sizes, 5,000 people boarded the ship in batches, and through the guò channel to contact a Chinese pirate, also willing to let them join, this is a big banquet, everyone hopes that the forces under their hands are stronger, the people responsible for contact are locals, know the roots, they gladly agree, Xiao Jianfeng had the opportunity to join the pirate group.

It's complicated, but it's actually just a matter of doing this in one day. Xiao Jianfeng left behind 30 escorts and a largest 11,000-ton cargo ship, which is the most powerful ship in the fleet, and even has 3 203 guns and a complete battery, which is Yang Yuanzhao when he set off, directly with the help of the all-in-one machine, far more powerful than other armed merchant ships, this ship will take the remaining 200 ships to carry out the task of mixing in pirates, and the 1,200-person reconnaissance battalion and the remaining guards, the largest squeeze together, and then release the ship out of Borneo, towards the agreed place, to the fleet, according to the agreement and simple radio transceiver, they will stop the main force of the fleet before Malacca.
