Chapter 10 Thoughts for the Future

In the northern part of the Sulu Sea, a small fleet of ships is heading east, led by a British Navy warship. It's just that at this moment the St. George flag of the British Navy on the warship has been replaced by the skull flag of the pirate.

Although the cruiser 'Coventry' is only a sixth-class battleship, it is much stronger than those pirate ships on Flying Fish Island in terms of seaworthiness and speed, not to mention that there are 24 guns on board, such a powerful firepower is incomparable to the pirate ships of Flying Fish Island. The pirates who have won the battle are full of beautiful hopes for the future, and if such a warship joins, then their success rate will definitely increase a lot when they rob at sea in the future!

Long Yufei rested in the cabin for a day and couldn't stay any longer. The air in the cabin was cloudy, and the smell was very unaccustomed to him. In addition, the injury on his shoulder is not serious, but his left hand is temporarily unusable.

After coming to the deck, under the blowing of the sea breeze, Long Yufei felt much better. Li Hu has always been by his side, and Luo Sangu, the big boss, asked him to take care of the injured Long Yufei. On deck, other pirates were encountered. The pirates have more respect for Long Yufei. This encounter with the British warship was originally a life and a death, but under Long Yufei's strategy, they were able to turn defeat into victory, which made the pirates very admired! The pirates are rough people, if they want to carry their knives and kill them, then there is no problem, they will do it well! But it would be difficult for them to come up with a plan against the enemy. Therefore, Long Yufei's approach has won the approval of these pirates. In addition, at the critical moment, Long Yufei was able to stand up to block the bullets of the big boss, which was a manifestation of righteousness, which made the pirates very satisfied! It was also from this time that Long Yufei truly integrated into the group of Flying Fish Island.

After chatting with the pirates on the deck, Long Yufei walked to the back deck, looked at the blue sea, and was silent!

Although this operation on Flying Fish Island was victorious and reaped a lot of money, the same loss was definitely not small! In the previous attack on the armed merchant ship "Black Pearl", there were dozens of casualties, and in the subsequent attack on the cruiser "Coventry", there were also some losses. This loss is also unbearable for Flying Fish Island, which only has more than 300 hardcovers! If you come here a few more times, I'm afraid Flying Fish Island will have to completely decline! Being a pirate is a lot of long-term plans after all!

In addition, although they have now snatched the cruiser 'Coventry', they will not be able to use this warship to loot it in a short time. The power of the British is gradually penetrating to the east, and the South Seas region is the first step of British infiltration, if the 'Coventry' is discovered by the British, then Flying Fish Island will be dead! The current British Navy can easily wipe out the pirates of Flying Fish Island like pinching an ant to death! As soon as he thought of this, Long Yufei felt a little anxious.

"Mr. Long, what are you thinking?" I don't know when Lu Dao came, Luo Sangu came to Long Yufei's side. After Long Yufei stepped forward to rescue Luo Sangu, the relationship between the two has made great progress!

"Big boss, I'm thinking about the future of Flying Fish Island!" Long Yufei didn't hide it, and said directly.

"Oh? Does Mr. Long have any suggestions? Luo Sangu was slightly stunned, and then asked.

"Big boss, how much did we lose this time?" Long Yufei didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically.

"Thirty-two brothers died, and another 15 brothers were seriously injured!" Luo Sangu was a little depressed. Such a heavy loss is almost the biggest one since she became the big boss of Flying Fish Island!

"Big boss, this time the loss is too great! Flying Fish Island can't bear it at all! Plus, Flying Fish Island isn't safe anymore! The British lost a warship, they will definitely intensify the search. If they find out that we did it, then Flying Fish Island is dead! Long Yufei said.

"British? Hum! It's a big deal that we don't need this warship to go to sea for the time being, anyway, this time the search is enough for us to use for a long time! Luo Sangu said.

"Great master, Britain has become the most powerful country in the world, and when they eliminated their European opponents, they entered the peak of expansion to the whole world! Even if we hide this warship, how long will we be able to hide it? Once the power of the British expands into Luzon, we will eventually be exposed! Long Yufei said.

Luo Sangu's face was a little ugly, although she didn't know much about the UK, she trusted Long Yufei very much, and knew that what Long Yufei said was true. Although the strength of the pirates is not weak, it is far from being comparable to the regular army!

Long Yufei continued: "Big boss, in recent years, has the life of pirates become more and more difficult? ”

Luo Sangu nodded, in recent years, it has become more and more difficult for pirates to make a living! The merchant ships sailing in the South China Sea are equipped with more and more weapons, and almost all the larger merchant ships are equipped with firearms, and the pirates will pay more and more if they want to succeed in robbery! In addition, there are more and more warships of various countries cruising in the South Seas, and these warships basically implement the policy of exterminating pirate ships once they are discovered, which makes the pirates who are rampant in the South Seas suffer great losses. Luo Sangu also received news that the navies of various countries had also encircled and suppressed several of the most powerful pirates, resulting in the removal of several large pirate groups. Although the navies of various countries have not yet taken action against Flying Fish Island, it is estimated that the pirates of Flying Fish Island are too weak. However, once Flying Fish Island is remembered by the navies of various countries, then Flying Fish Island is only a dead end!

Luo Sangu took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and then asked, "Mr. Long, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"I don't think being a pirate is the only way out for us! Everyone is forced to be helpless when they become pirates! If there is a way, who wants their children and grandchildren to become pirates? Long Yufei said.

Luo Sangu nodded, the people on Flying Fish Island all embarked on this road because they couldn't get by.

"But Mr. Long, what else can we do but pirates?" Luo Sangu asked a little confused. The pirates on Flying Fish Island have completed their lifelong career as pirates, and they don't seem to have any other craft.

"Big boss, we can think of other places! Just east and south of Flying Fish Island, there are many large islands! There is fertile land on these islands, and there are quite a few Chinese people! These Chinese people are also living a difficult life, we have weapons, we have brave soldiers, we can help them! Once we integrate these Chinese, we will be able to form a strong force in Nanyang, and even those foreign devils will not dare to underestimate us! Long Yufei said.

Luo Sangu looked at Long Yufei in surprise, as if she didn't expect him to have such great ambitions. This is completely unthinkable for her! Her hope has always been that the people on Flying Fish Island can live a good life.

"Mr. Long, this idea of yours seems too arrogant!" Luo Sangu said.

"Yes, big boss, this idea seems too arrogant now, but there is a good chance of success! If we succeed, the people of Flying Fish will benefit from it, and we will no longer be pirates who everyone shouts and kills, and we will even be able to build our own country! Long Yufei said excitedly.

Luo Sangu looked at the excited Long Yufei, and didn't know what to say. Although she was also a little infected by Long Yufei's passion, she was more realistic! The current Nanyang basically belongs to the territory of the foreigners, and the Chinese in Nanyang are completely the target of the oppression of the foreigners, not to mention how difficult it is to resist the rule of the foreigners. However, Luo Sangu had a faint expectation in her heart, she hoped that what Long Yufei said would be successful!

"Mr. Long, what you think shocks me too much. I'm sorry, but I need to think about it! After Luo Sangu finished speaking, she turned around and left! Before this, she was just a pirate, and Long Feiyu's current proposal was far beyond the scope of pirates.

Long Yufei nodded and didn't say anything. He clearly knew that it would be very difficult to convince Luo Sangu and the others! Their living environment is destined for their knowledge. They just want to live a good life. And Long Yufei's proposal is far beyond their resemblance. As soon as he thought of this, Long Yufei felt very helpless. Now he is just a bare-bones commander, and the only thing he can rely on is these pirates on Flying Fish Island! Although Nanyang has fallen into the hands of Westerners, their control over Nanyang is not strong, and this is also Long Yufei's most difficult opportunity. Once a few years later, when the Opium War broke out, and the Western world suddenly discovered that the huge Qing Kingdom was nothing more than a paper tiger, they would accelerate their invasion of the East. When the time comes, if Long Yufei wants to establish a powerful force, it will be almost impossible! It's 1835, and in less than five years, the Opium War will break out. He hopes to be able to at least have the power to protect himself in these five years!

The fleet continued to sail eastward, and by this time it was quite a long way from Flying Fish Island! It is expected that by evening, the fleet will be able to return to Flying Fish Island!

For the living pirates, they were lucky, and in the face of a powerful enemy, they not only saved their lives, but also reaped great gains. As for the pirates who are dead, this may be their fate! Pirates are a high-risk profession, and they may die one day, and death may be a relief!
