The Panama Canal, located in Panama in Central America, crosses the Isthmus of Panama, connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, is an important shipping artery, and is known as one of the world's seven engineering wonders and "world bridge". The Panama Canal is a lock-type canal.

It is said that when the 1903 treaty was signed, Theodore Roosevelt said happily, "I got the isthmus!" Professor Samuel Hayakawa made a puzzling comment: "We stole it justifiably!" "In this era, this golden waterway was completely controlled by the United States, and huge profits were made every year.

Now in addition to the original sixty Chinese, there are sixteen more pirates on the pickup. Li Guang planned to establish port logistics on Robinson Island at the right time, and naturally he would not let these pirates continue to be entrenched there.

Now the pirates are divided into two groups, Juan and Junjiro Koizumi are the leaders, but Junjiro Koizumi has too poor character, only five subordinates, while Juan has nine subordinates. This is the result of a free combination, which shows that Juan's leadership level in this group of pirates is not very high. was secretly colluded with so many subordinates by Junjiro Koizumi. Now Juan and Junjiro Koizumi have expressed their allegiance to Li Guang, and if they don't be loyal, they will throw it into the sea. In addition, when these two pirates learned that Li Guang was going to rob the 10,000-ton giant ship, they admired Gao Shan Yangzhi even more, and they all said that they would follow the new boss.

The pickup had been waiting for three days on the route of the Panama Canal, but not a single freighter had been found as far as the eye could see, not to mention the original one, not even the freighters of other countries.

Originally, Zheng Xuechang and Su Qing both felt very uneasy about carrying a group of pirates on board, but after a few days of sailing, the role of these two on pirates has changed greatly. Li Guang thought that these two were purely false compassion, and that the wounded in the pirates were not reported to have disappeared one by one by the gun crew.

These two pirates are simply jack-of-all-trades in the Pacific. Don't look at Juan's leadership level, but he knows the ocean current climate very well. The division of pirate forces in the Pacific Ocean is even more precious.

Thanks to Juan's pilotage, the pickup was a steady ride during the 10-day voyage. Juan was able to locate the sea without a sextant and with just a rudimentary compass. To his own boasting, this was the secret of his great Spanish pirate ancestors.

Although the pickup truck has weathered a blizzard, there have been many problems in the tropical ocean, and other problems are okay, the diesel engine actually broke down twice. In these years, the Germans, who have always paid attention to product quality, have not passed the diesel engine very well. Fortunately, the crew members did their best, and it didn't take long to repair the diesel engine.

Previously, Li Guang had always wondered why there were two diesel engines on submarines in various countries, and it was clear that if only one large one was used, the structure would be simple and more space-saving. At this time, he found the answer, it is not that countries do not want to use one, but there is no way, and the quality of diesel engines is not up to par.

Li Guang went to sea this time, and the shipyard did not stop. Captain Arthur took an order for a dry bulk carrier. The owner of the order was Captain Alfred.

Recently, there has been a surge in demand for goods from South America to Europe, perhaps due to the Spanish Civil War, or perhaps because Germany is ramping up its stockpiles. Li Guang came up with an idea for Alfred to take out a loan from the bank with the ship as collateral. Then use the loan to build the ship, and then continue to mortgage, and so on.

Li Guang will own a stake in this newly established Asian American Shipping Company, and Li Guang will be responsible for the supply of goods. As for the number of shares, it depends on the number of ships in which Li Guang has a stake, and Alfred must not refuse the number of shares in which Li Guang has a stake, and the proportion of shares between the two parties can be adjusted at any time. Alfred had no idea how horrific this contract was. Alfred thought that he was developing fast enough with this mortgage cycle to definitely occupy the position of a major shareholder in the company, but he didn't expect that Li Guang didn't plan to build it at all, but to grab it. Alfred's position in Eurasian shipping in the future can be imagined.

Four ship specialists hired from the United States, after signing a non-disclosure contract, are now designing Li Guang's submarine. The tonnage of submarines is not large, but the technical content is very different from that of freighters. Four ship designers can design a freighter in a few days, but it is not so easy to design a submarine in a few months according to Li Guang's requirements.

The submarine planned by Li Guang has first abandoned the shape of this era in terms of appearance, although it is not teardrop-shaped, but it is definitely streamlined.

For this type of ship, Li Guang built a small model, placed it in a tank, and conducted a series of water flow experiments.

As a result, the submarine is already very close to modern in appearance. The S-class submarines of the United States are extremely old in structure and have poor safety. Li Guang just didn't understand submarines anymore, and in later generations, he had also heard of terms such as pressure-resistant shells.

So this submarine, Li Guang did not hesitate to use a double-layer pressure-resistant shell structure. Li Guangduo couldn't help with the rest of the designs, but Li Guang also put forward several requirements with his insight beyond this era.

Of course, there is no doubt that the submarine will use its own batteries, and it will also require the use of its own torpedoes.

Now Li Guang is a little apprehensive about one of his requirements, that is, he requires the use of a single-shaft slow-speed, large-diameter, large-bevel seven-blade propeller. In this way, only one diesel engine is needed, but after knowing the quality of the diesel engine, Li Guang now begins to examine whether his decision is somewhat unrealistic.

Since Li Guang discovered the diesel engine in Germany, he has a lot to do, and he has been thinking about how to make a breakthrough in the diesel engine. The design of diesel engines involves many disciplines, but Li Guang has no intention of designing it himself, he is just looking for a way to improve the existing diesel engine. If it weren't for this, Li Guang would not have been able to build a diesel engine factory at all, and you must know that that kind of investment is not at all what Li Guang can imagine at this stage.

Picking up his thoughts, Li Guang held up the telescope and searched the sea again. At this time, the pickup truck, three hundred nautical miles away from the American continent, according to Juan, was the route to the city.

But for three days, the pickup truck, not a single fishing boat or pirate ship was seen, let alone a freighter.

According to Juan's report, Li Guangzhi knew some rules of the voyage of the freighter. It is said that this freighter is never left alone, and almost all of them sail in a team of three or five. Moreover, the armament of this freighter is better than that of other countries, and it is generally equipped with 75mm guns, some of which are three or four.

The little devil is fighting in the open fire in China, and he is naturally worried about others robbing him in the Pacific, so he is better equipped than other countries. According to Juan, the ship was the least likely to be robbed in the Pacific Ocean, not only because of the weaponry, but also because he often engaged in white-knuckle combat after the pirates boarded the ship. Even in the case of the ship's insurmountment, it will take the initiative to sink the ship.

As the saying goes, those who are horizontal are afraid of the flute, and those who are afraid of the flute are not dead. As a result, the pirates in the Pacific, large and small, hundreds of shares, few of them went to rob the freighter.

The information provided by Juan made Li Guang scratch his head a little. If the little devil dog jumps over the wall and sinks the freighter, his goal will only be half achieved, and the follow-up plan will be ruined.

Robbery is also professional work, Li Guang's group of rookie navy, if it is just to sink the military steamer, it is not a big problem, but if you want to grab the freighter, it is not so easy.

Since it was a professional job, Li Guang didn't want to waste brain cells, and after arriving at the robbery area, Li Guang called two pirate leaders and asked if there was any way to ensure that he could grab the ship.

Junjiro Koizumi has been extremely flattering to Li Guangke in the past two days, he knows that Yuben is now invading China, and everyone on the ship is angry at him, and he wants to slaughter him.

Now the only way for Koizumi to save his surname is to serve Li Guang. Junjiro Koizumi, now Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, has also been tossing in the Pacific Ocean for nearly twenty years, and according to his gambling curse, this guy has not been back to his book for more than ten years. He couldn't go back at all, Junjiro Koizumi raped the young lady of the master's family, and had to go into exile as a result. And the master's family is powerful and powerful, and if Koizumi dares to show up in Yueben, he will definitely die.

Junjiro Koizumi's master, Li Guang, has not heard of anything, Koizumi's fifteen-year-old rape of a fourteen-year-old young lady is bad enough, it is simply a beast. But what's worse is that this young lady married a famous family back then, and the name of this family, Li Guangke, has heard of it, Aso Tagayoshi. The Aso family, known as the representative of the famous [***] forces in later generations.

But Junjiro Koizumi swears that it was Miss Yukiko who seduced him, as the saying goes, once it is called rape, twice it is called Shun Annihilation, and many times it is called Tong Annihilation. Koizumi has sown countless seeds on Miss Yukiko, and until now Junjiro Koizumi is still fascinated by Miss Yukiko's white and tender body.

In fact, Li Guang didn't know that Junjiro Koizumi's master family was not an idle family, and his master was called Yoshida Shigeru.

Xiaoquan actually doesn't need Li Guang to kill him now, as long as he is sent back to Yuben, it will definitely be a dead end. Therefore, Koizumi now has to call Li Guang father.

When Li Guang raised this question, Junjiro Koizumi saw that the opportunity to flatter him had come, and immediately came up with an idea: "We can pretend that we are wrecked at sea, take the opportunity to get on the ship, and kill them all." ”

Juan hated it, he had used this method once before, when Junjiro Koizumi led the team and got on the boat. He just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Junjiro Koizumi. He glared at Koizumi fiercely and said, "I also support this idea." ”

To carry out this plan, it is clear that the number of people on the pickup number is not very adequate. It is said that there are at least three freighters in this freighter, and if you want to control the three freighters, these people are not enough.

Even counting the pirates who were willing to serve, there were only seventy-six people in total, and at least forty people on the pickup number needed to ensure normal combat effectiveness. In other words, only thirty-six people could participate in the boarding attack.

In this era, a 10,000-ton freighter had at least fifty or sixty people, and even a three- or four-thousand-ton freighter had twenty or thirty crew members. Even if he only controls one ship, the ratio of troops is more than 1:15, and Li Guang is a little uneasy about the group of rookie recruits under his command. Now the two self-contained dinghys on the pickup are cruising ten nautical miles away.

In addition to the twelve pirates on board, there were twenty-four gunners on board. There is no doubt that Su Qing is the captain of this sneak attack.

The destroyer USS Pickup is relatively low, not easy to spot in the vast sea, and the reason why it is ten nautical miles away is strictly calculated. At this distance, if the freighter is slightly negligent, the pickup number will not be observed. If a ship equipped with cannons is discovered by the devils, the devils are not stupid and will not call those pirates and warriors on board at all.

And according to the top speed of the pickup number, it only takes half an hour to reach the robbery site.

The key to this victory was that the ship had to be fully controlled for half an hour, and no other ships could be called close to support.
