Chapter 1408, suspicious and suspicious
Around this incident, a whole Gallic port directly launched a thorough investigation, and fools know that those mines could not have been conjured out of thin air, and someone must have placed them there.
However, after a thorough investigation, there was still no result.
Since the start of the war, every port along the coast has been patrolled 24 hours a day, plus the vigilance of the lighthouse on the sea, a whole line of defense can be said to be extremely tight.
In this case, if someone drives a boat and runs to the sea outside the harbor with so many mines to lay out, there is basically no situation that cannot be found, unless they are all blind!
Obviously, this result could not satisfy the minister who was in charge of thoroughly investigating the matter.
"Couldn't someone have laid so many mines in that area? Do you think this answer will be accepted by the Emperor?! Colonel, a month! You only have one month! You have to find out the result for me, or you and I will be finished!! ”
The minister's words were not polite.
How huge were the losses from the sinking of three battleships? It's no exaggeration to say that it's an astronomical amount.
Moreover, it is still a time of war, and it is precisely when battleships are needed the most! It's even more serious when something like this happens at a time like this!
Recalling their emperor's gloomy and terrifying face at that time, the minister did not have the slightest doubt, if this could not find out the result, the emperor would probably kill them alive!
What they don't know, however, is that according to their direction of investigation, it is impossible to find out a single result even until death......
Through the vision provided by the elven druids, he always locks on the movements of the Gallic fleet, and with the speed of the lightning strike fleet, it can be said that he is always one step ahead of them.
In the port area, there is a lighthouse, and they really can't get close, but the underwater combat troops who went out with the army this time have no problem at all!
With sufficient visibility during the day, with a little more effort, the Salamander Warriors can sneak all the way from under the surface of the sea with mines and complete the mine arrangement.
Even if it surfaced in the middle of the sea to breathe a sigh of relief, such a small unit, coupled with distance cover, it was unlikely that the other party would be able to detect it.
In this day and age, the removal of mines and mines is extremely troublesome and tricky, and at the same time, it is impossible to do it in a short period of time, let alone that the entire area is full of mines, and the beach next to it is not safe or not......
For the sake of insurance, but also to allow the ships to be repaired in time, and more importantly, to replenish supplies, the Gallic fleet had to move towards the next port.
During this period, Wang Sheng, who confirmed the other party's movements, of course, could not just let them go.
In the past few months of the expedition, they have already figured out the map of this sea area.
His eyes quickly swept over the map, and on the premise of confirming the direction of movement of the Gallic fleet, according to their current emergency, they would definitely move towards the port closest to their location, and even the navigation route, he could roughly guess it.
In this way, knowing the destination of the other party, relying on the speed advantage of light warships, Wang Sheng naturally wanted to run ahead of the Gallic fleet......
Above the sea, a demoralized Gallic fleet was on its way to the next port.
The previous encounter made a group of Gallic Navy soldiers in a bad state, and even the commander-in-chief of the fleet with him had a cloudy and uncertain face, and he only hoped to find out a result as soon as possible!
As a fleet that has been on expeditions for a long time, when he returns to port, he will be attacked by terrorists, which is simply unimaginable.
According to this statement, where else is there peace for them?
However, just as he was thinking this, a sudden explosion came from the front of the fleet, and his whole heart instantly hung in his throat.
"What's going on?! What happened?! ”
While asking a series of questions, he rushed straight out of his captain's room.
"Report, report to the general, the destroyer No. 051 located in front of the fleet seems to have a mine......"
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief's heart twitched visibly.
Mine? What kind of mine is it?!
At this moment, he only felt that he was about to go crazy, where did those hellish mines come from?!
The destroyer, which arrived at the mines, turned almost immediately, and as a result, two more mines were connected.
The fragile small body of the destroyer is no match for the thickly armored battleship, and the three mines directly ushered in the sinking of them.
The next few destroyers, which could not control the inertia of moving forward, also followed in their footsteps.
On the ship, which was about to sink, the crew put down their lifeboats one after another, or simply jumped out of ship to escape.
But when they got to the surface, they found another problem......
Don't dare to move! At this moment, the crew members who had escaped from the sunken destroyer just fell to the surface of the sea, not daring to move at all!
Who knows if there are mines laid under the surface of the surrounding sea?
Before, the mine was blown up on the destroyer, and they still had a chance to escape.
And now, if they trigger a certain mine again, then I am afraid that they will only end up with a corpse sinking into the sea......
I have to say that this wave, Wang Sheng's small change of tricks, once again caught this Gallic fleet off guard.
He had placed mines near the harbor because he could not find out the route of the Gallic fleet's return.
But this time it was different, the Gallic fleet was moving almost along the coastline, and it was too easy to see.
Of course, this succession did not make Wang Sheng get carried away.
His lightning strike fleet still maintains its own state of seclusion.
Because he knew very well that the Gallic fleet on the opposite side, even if it stood motionless, could kill their small fleet during the day.
If you don't understand this in your head, and rush up with a dozen destroyers, you are purely making yourself uncomfortable.

Next, it was better to follow the commander-in-chief of the Gallic fleet to become suspicious.
Anyway, this wave, their goal has been achieved, and the naval combat power of the Gallic fleet has been clearly reduced!
And just like that, the Thunderstrike fleet, which had not shown up at all from beginning to end, quietly retreated.
And then after receiving the news and learning that his fleet was continuously attacked by mines, the Gallic player's face could be said to be instantly unsightly, and he even began to wonder if there was a rebel group in his empire that wanted to get along with him, after all, similar things have happened many times in the past hundreds of years!
