Chapter 675: The British

The ship group continued to move forward, compared with the pirates in a sea of blood, the ship group was a scene of the rest of the catastrophe, more than 100 people died, and the wounded may be several times, but escaped from the siege of tens of thousands of pirates, which is not satisfied, especially those European seamen, they are even more so, and some people even excitedly thank God.

In the past century or so, the number of pirates in Europe has been greatly reduced, and most of the maritime powers have joined the anti-piracy alliance led by the British, and it has taken more than 100 years to make pirates from a free, passionate and adventurous profession to a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, which is also the fundamental reason why Britain does not dare to be blatant, and even after the failure of piracy, quickly erase its own signs, and replace it with the 17th and early 18th centuries, under such a thing, Britain will definitely go into battle shirtless.

Yang Yuanzhao is very glad that the world situation in this era is still the law of the jungle, it is still dark, but it is only by virtue of its strength, compared to more than a hundred years, or even longer, this world has certain rules, and before reaching the bottom line, it will not break this rule and act arbitrarily.

The rules are like this, just like a cage, in the cage, do not touch the edge of these cages, this is a restriction for anyone, any organization and country, but for the weak, how not a kind of protection, really, full of dark law of the jungle, under the supremacy of personal strength, to ordinary people and the weak, will always be cruelty and death. Unless a new rule is re-formed with the strong predominant.

The regiment began to treat the ship, and some of the more damaged ships had to be abandoned. The rest, still able to move, were towed, and when the regiment restarted, the speed was about 8 knots, 3 knots lower. On the deck, some tidying up was also done. Most of the machine guns were removed. Put it into the warehouse, the next journey is very long, and there are still one or two thousand nautical miles, for the ship. Security has greatly increased, and this time the pirates have been hit hard, basically, the entire Southeast Asia, East Asia, and even the North Pacific have been cleared out, and under the blows of the British, they can gather so many pirates. It still relies on the side of Southeast Asia, the terrain is complex, and there is a history of piracy as a prerequisite. Otherwise, it would be impossible to switch to European waters.

Lost these pirates, unless, in the future, the British went into battle shirtless. The regiment could not be shaken at all, and the Germans and the British were escorted together. It is also for this reason that there are German destroyers, and even if the British tear their faces, they will have to kill the Germans, which is easier.

In this case, if a large number of machine guns are installed on the ship, when passing through Singapore, it may be troubled by the British side, a small number of machine guns can be protected, too much, the British will have a reason to be too armed, under the rules, Yang Yuanzhao is unwilling to give the British any chance.

Dealing with this crisis, in Yang Yuanzhao's view, it is relatively perfect, but the weak ship group is left and right between the two big countries, but in his heart, he is awakened, strength, if he has strength, he has the ability to play chess on the chessboard without strength, otherwise it can only be a chess piece, not even a chess piece, casually, it will be used and sacrificed by others, and even this time the incident is still because of his poor consideration, if he does not organize such a large ship group, even if the British secretly spread the news to the sky, It doesn't necessarily attract such a large number of pirates.

Powerful, even since the beginning of the 1908 crossing, Yang Yuanzhao has been thinking about being strong all the time, and has single-handedly created a powerful army in the northwest, compared to the army, it is mainly manpower, equipment ranking, but the navy will always fight for equipment, the emergence of a dreadnought, so that all the former dreadnoughts are outdated, the improvement of power and firepower will make the battleship play a more and more powerful role, this is the best era, but also the worst era, the next tilt, must be inclined to the navy, The 100-year-old navy is no joke, China has fallen too far behind and cannot continue to lag behind.

More than 2 days later, when the ship group rushed to Singapore, the attack on this incident, through guò various networks, on the headlines of major newspapers, this is Yang Yuanzhao deliberately released, after the battle against pirates, with the help of radio communication, let the northwest make preparations early, before the northwest and the major media cooperation is quite good, this happened, is a large-scale pirate attack on the fleet, immediately attracted the attention of the world.

People from all over the world began to question Britain, the Strait of Malacca, isn't it known as the safest strait, isn't Britain the strongest naval power in the world, why tens of thousands of people gather here, attack a total tonnage of up to 1.2 million tons, hundreds of large and small ships composed of fleets, when, pirates are so bold, if they don't fight, will the pirates continue to attack, then the vast majority of the world's cargo routes and passenger routes are not safe, you must know that a single 10,000-ton or several 10,000-ton cargo ships get together, Facing pirates, not an opponent at all.

At this time, the German side showed some photos, among the pirates, there are even 3000-ton cruisers such as big killers, and the fluctuations are even more violent, pirates actually have warships, heavy artillery, the world is too crazy, it's just that the pirates in the Far East are so strong, what about the coastal waters of Europe? Now not only the general public, even some big businessmen, or shipping giants and ship kings, have come out to speak, shipping is their foundation, once shipping is affected, it will have a big impact.

Ordinary people and powerful people, under the two-pronged approach, Britain has been under tremendous pressure, and the anti-piracy alliance he created has been slapped here, especially Battleship Street, this matter is hidden from them by the people below, but under a check, who pushed it, of course, it is clear at a glance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office, angry toothache, do it and do it, you have to do it well, if you don't do it well, it caused an uproar, so that the whole Britain followed passively, a telegram from the Admiralty directly reached the East Asian Fleet, Several large cruisers belonging to the East Asian Fleet and dozens of warships of various types formed a team and set off immediately, no matter what, first wipe the ass clean.

Two days have passed, Xiao Jianfeng is the earliest, he first used the name of Montenegro to co-opt more than 20 pirates of all sizes, the number of ships skyrocketed to 127, and the number of personnel increased to more than 10,000, and then snowballed, has been looting one-third of the entire pirate alliance, more than 400 ships, and nearly 20,000 personnel, most of them are Chinese, and a small number of them are the best among European and American or mixed-race pirates, this process took 1 day, he followed Yang Yuanzhao's orders, Flee quickly, it is not convenient to enter the Strait of Malacca for the time being, as long as you bypass here, go around the sea off the coast of Indonesia, there are many islands that are more complicated and easier to hide.

Dozens of pirate organizations, their nests, there are seventy or eighty, the population left in these nests, technicians, and even some dock equipment and the like, were served in a pot, through guò integration, and finally selected 8 more hidden, and good conditions, temporarily settled, the next is a integration, with the help of Montenegrin personnel, barely completed, so far a total number of people as high as 60,000, With 25,000 combatants and more than 500 ships, a giant pirate group has re-emerged in Southeast Asia after the fall of the Four Great Pirates.

Xiao Jianfeng ran early, there are still thirty or forty thousand pirates and more than 700 ships left, this is also a big interest, after Xiao Jianfeng, the largest and strongest Montenegro, left, the rest also began to fight, everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity, among the pirates, take a big bite, and strive to get the greatest benefit, they even forgot about safety, the leaders are dead, but the rest, more or less, heard on the leader's side, this matter was done by the British, the British, but the strongest power in Southeast Asia, Malacca was also the most heavily guarded place for the British, who only fought for power on the shore and did not grab ships.

It's a pity that the short-sightedness of the pirates is the root cause of their deaths, the British dominated this matter, this matter did not see the light at all, Yang Yuanzhao did not make much publicity, and everyone knew about it, and it was on the headlines of many newspapers and magazines, maybe the British turned a blind eye, but now, Yang Yuanzhao directly poked a hole in the sky, no matter how shameless the British were, they had to wipe their tails clean, and after an order was given on Battleship Street, most of the troops of the entire East Asian Fleet were all out of the horse.

With 6 fast cruisers as the core, dozens of destroyers, those destroyers who left early in the group suddenly appeared, they left in the name of performing urgent missions, and now, they are really going to perform emergency missions, this may be a reincarnation.

The pirates were caught off guard, two days, but just formed a rough appearance, and there was no integration, they encountered a powerful East Asian fleet, all of which were fast fleets, and the firepower and strength were extremely powerful, a massacre began, the whole battle lasted 3 hours, this sea area, all the visible pirate ships, all were sunk, a large number of pirates jumped into the sea, and were directly killed, the British did not accept the surrender of pirates in any sense, from the noon battle, until the evening, There were still sporadic gunshots, but after that, the pirates in Southeast Asia were almost completely cleaned up.

A naval battle came to an end, and the money was moving, but what these pirates got was always pain, almost tens of thousands of people died, and in the end, they didn't get anything, and dozens of pirate organizations that dominated the world officially became a term in history, and for a long time, before Xiao Jianfeng integrated the Black Mountain pirates and came out of the mountain, there was no trace of pirates in Southeast Asia.
