Brutus is well known in Western culture, he is the assassin of Caesar, and he is a famous assassin in the Western world, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he thought of this plan.

The British and French fleets on the opposite side were very powerful, with two battleships and five large cruisers, with their four battleships, they were never their opponents, and once they were attacked by the opponent, they were very likely to sink their ships.

Lin Fei's heart sank, picked up the microphone of the Jade Bird machine, and said loudly: "Call the British fleet, please answer if you receive it." ”

A familiar voice sounded in the earpiece, "Lin Fei, we meet again." Lin Fei's whole body trembled when he heard this voice, because the person who spoke was the captain of the Sovereign Ship who had been kidnapped by him a few months ago...... Antonio.

The kidnapping of the captain of the monarch ship made the British side very angry, if it were not for Lin Fei to come up with synthetic fibers and plastics, two materials that are enough to change the world pattern, the British side would not give up, although the British government no longer pursues the matter, but Antonio has always been resentful of Lin Fei, and today Lin Fei happened to meet his enemy.

Lin Fei calmed down the surprise in his heart, and said awe-inspiringly: "Mr. Antonio, I have found that your fleet and the French fleet are heading towards our fleet, and I hereby solemnly inform you that our fleet is about to attack Bangka Island and punish the arrogant and impudent Dutch Kingdom. ”

Lin Fei's tone was extremely tough, it seemed that Antonio would order the cannon to fire when he said a word "no", the reason why Lin Fei was so tough was to convey a signal to Antonio, I, Lin Fei, will take Bangka Island today no matter what, if you don't agree, then I will even you ***.

To Lin Fei's surprise, Antonio actually laughed and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin Fei, let's turn and leave." ”

Lin Fei didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a few minutes, and at this moment, Ma Chengfeng reported: "The enemy fleet began to turn and move in a direction away from our fleet. ”

Lin Fei frowned, his face was sad, and he turned to the staff officers and said, "Let's talk about it, what does the British and French fleet want to do?" ”

The staff officers shook their heads one after another, puzzled, and Xiyun said softly, "Maybe they just met us by chance." ”

"A chance encounter? Is this possible? Lin Fei said suspiciously, "The area of the Java Sea is 430,000 square kilometers, such a large area, we met the British and French fleets so coincidentally?" ”

Xiyun shook his head silently, Liu Daming laughed heartily, and said, "Lao Lin, don't think about it, I think what Xiaoyun said is right, it's really just a chance encounter." ”

Lin Fei sighed lightly and said "Okay", at this moment, Lin Fei suddenly saw that on the monarch ship in the distance, a bright yellow fireball rose into the air, straight into the sky, Xiyun asked in shock, "What is that?" ”

Lin Fei frowned, pondering, all the staff officers discussed, at this moment, another bright yellow fireball rushed into the sky, in the blink of an eye, each of the seven warships sent out a fireball, Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "It's a signal flare." ”

Although Lin Fei's voice was not loud, everyone heard it clearly, and everyone wondered: "Why did their warship hit signal flares?" ”

Lin Fei's face was solemn, he shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Order the fleet, slow down the ship." ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to ......," a staff officer asked.

"I don't think something is right, and I need to be careful." Lin Fei replied solemnly.

"Obey orders..." Several staff officers agreed and conveyed the order, and the speed of the entire fleet was reduced from twelve knots to nine knots, and under this speed, the turning in all directions was very fast, so that the fleet could deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Ten minutes passed, and Ma Chengfeng suddenly reported to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, in the direction of Bangka Island, I found a large number of small boats, which are heading towards our fleet at high speed, and the number of small boats and the equipment of the hull are not clear. ”

Lin Fei's heart moved, and he didn't wait to speak, Liu Daming suddenly shouted, "Great", Lin Fei's eyes were involuntarily attracted by Liu Daming, Liu Daming said with a smile: "It must be the Dutch who drove a small boat to fight us, their small boats are just toys in front of our big warship, we go over with a row of heavy artillery, and they will all be finished." ”

Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "Things will definitely not be so simple, order the whole fleet and prepare for battle." ”

The order was immediately issued, and two Emperor-class cruisers turned their turrets, two Dragon-class cruisers had their ammunition ready, and six Leopard-class high-speed transport ships and nine Giant Crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft had their machine guns ready.

Five minutes passed, and Ma Chengfeng sent a report again: "Your Majesty, there are twenty boats sent from the other side, all of them are lightning strike ships..."

The thunderbolt is a kind of warship in this era, this kind of warship has a displacement of about 100 tons, and uses torpedoes as an attack weapon, it is extremely fast, and can approach the target like lightning, and launch a torpedo to sink the target.

This kind of warship has disappeared in the modern navy, but the emergence of this kind of warship directly promoted the development of destroyers, when the destroyer first entered service, the combat target was the lightning strike ship, with the development of naval science and technology, the destroyer has become the main force of the modern navy, which can be regarded as the greatest contribution of the lightning strike ship to the development of the world's navy.

Twenty thunderbolt ships attacked Lin Fei's fleet, Lin Fei's heart suddenly tightened, the lightning strike ship is extremely fast, flexible in operation, the lethality of shipborne torpedoes is extremely strong, coupled with the large number, it is difficult to sink them all, in case a warship is hit by a torpedo, he will suffer great losses, or retreat.

Lin Fei hurriedly ordered: "Transport fleet, immediately turn around and retreat in the direction of Jakarta." "The tonnage of the lightning strike ship is small, and the coal carrying capacity is naturally small, so the endurance is very weak, as long as the fleet can stay away from the lightning strike ship as much as possible, the mine strike ship is no threat.

Lin Fei then ordered: "Battle fleet, immediately launch a battle formation to cover the transport fleet." The four battleships then turned their sides in the direction from which the enemy mine-striking ships were coming.

In the process of adjusting the course of the Huaxia fleet, Lin Fei slapped the command platform in front of him fiercely and said angrily: "Damn the British and French..."

Xiyun hurriedly asked, "You mean, these thunderbolts were sent by Britain and France?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head and said: "I don't know if it was sent by Britain and France, but I am sure that the signal flares released by the British and French fleets are indicating targets for these mine-striking ships. ”

Xi Yunxiu raised his eyebrows, and glared viciously in the direction of the British and French fleets in the distance, and at this time, on the Sovereign ship, Antonio was happily looking at Yiqiē in front of him, and beside him, stood Williamson, the commander-in-chief of the Dutch naval fleet, Williamson said excitedly: "Mr. Antonio, I thank the British Empire again for selling us so many mine-strike ships, and also sending warships to reconnoiter targets for mine-strike ships." ”

Antonio smiled heartily: "Mr. Williamson, there is no need to say it so politely, the Chinese Empire is also our enemy, and this Brutus plan is also very much in line with the interests of our British Empire." ”

Williamson's brows furrowed slightly, and he said worriedly: "The goal of Brutus' plan is to kill Lin Fei, just like Brutus assassinated Caesar, but can you win the battle by attacking the cruiser with a lightning strike ship?" ”

Antonio nodded confidently and said, "One mine-strike ship can't beat a cruiser, but twenty mine-strike ships have a completely different result." ”

As he was talking, the lightning strike ship had already shot towards the Huaxia fleet like a flying arrow, and Sun Yong, the captain of the fleet's gunnery, reported to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, the enemy lightning strike ship has sailed into the range of the main guns of our Han Wu ship and Tang Zong ship, do you want to open fire?" ”

Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "Open the cannon immediately." ”

Sun Yong asked expectantly, "Can you use a cloudburst bomb?" ”

"No, don't use cloudburst bombs, the British and French fleets are watching from the side, I don't want them to see the power of cloudburst bombs with their own eyes." Lin Fei replied resolutely.

Sun Yong said "understood", and then ordered the Han Wu ship and the Tang Zong ship to open fire, and the twelve 240 mm main guns opened fire together, and with the advanced HK-2 fire control system, the two lightning ships were immediately shot and gradually disappeared into the sea.

The Han Wu ship and the Tang Zong ship let out a high-pitched cheer, and the lightning strike fleet let out an angry roar, one side turned the muzzle of the gun and continued to fire, and the other side opened full power and charged desperately.

At this moment, Lin Fei saw that the formation of the enemy's mine-striking ships had changed, and it turned out that the enemy's mine-striking ships were lined up, intending to attack all of Lin Fei's warships, but now, the left and right flanks of the enemy's mine-striking ships actually turned to both sides, outflanking the Han Wu ship and the Tang Zong ship, intending to concentrate firepower on the Han Wu ship and the Tang Zong ship.

Lin Fei instantly understood that the enemy's lightning strike ship simply wanted to kill his own ship at once, just like Brutus did when he killed Caesar.

Lin Fei picked up the microphone of the Jade Bird machine and said loudly: "Attention of all units, the target of the enemy's mine-striking ship is the Hanwu ship and the Tangzong ship, and now I order, the Giant Crocodile-class beach-grabbing landing craft will continue to retreat in the direction of Jakarta, and the Leopard-class high-speed transport ship will join the battle sequence and detour to the side of the enemy mine-striking ship at high speed." ”

The Leopard-class high-speed transport ship is equipped with ten Grimm fast guns, this kind of fast gun is a sharp weapon for striking lightning ships, due to the small tonnage of the lightning strike ship, so the torpedo launcher is generally deployed on the deck, this type of lightning strike ship is like this, Lin Fei can clearly see that the left and right sides of this type of mine strike ship are equipped with two triple torpedo canisters, as long as the shell of the Green fast gun hits the torpedo canister, the violent detonation can blow up the entire mine strike ship into two sections...

At the beginning, Lin Fei didn't plan to let the Leopard-class participate in the battle, but now that he saw the enemy's mine-striking ships and the Hanwu and Tang Zong ships, the Leopard-class had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he gave the order.

Lin Fei looked at the lightning strike ship that was outflanking and sneered in his heart, dare to come and sneak attack, Lao Tzu will wipe out your entire army.
