Chapter 49 21st Naval Branch

The 21st Navy Branch was in sight, but the people on the warship were indeed nervous, and before Luo Yi left, Colonel Smoker sent a telegram saying that his second lieutenant would come to inspect the area.

The headquarters navy has the duty of inspecting the branch, but it is generally not carried out, and this time the telegram was suddenly issued, Luo Yi was also a little apprehensive, I don't know what the other party will think? But this must still be had, otherwise the name is not justified, and they are no more than the rank of captain, and without this telegram, then things will be very troublesome.

The 21st Naval Branch is close to Rogue Town, and it is the closest naval base to Rogue Town, so the scale is not small, with a basic strength of 1,000 people, ten low-level warships, and its combat power should not be underestimated. More importantly, this is the territory of the 21st Naval Branch, which itself has some fortifications and the deployment of fortress guns, so docking is a relatively dangerous thing.

"The artillery team should not open the cannon door, but be ready to shell at any time, the first target is the fortress gun that poses the greatest threat to us, and the musket team is lined up on the side of the ship to show the strength of our headquarters navy, the three commanders of the Sabre team and I went ashore, everyone should not be too nervous, they will not do anything to us at the moment, and the rest depends on whether the 21st branch is crazy."

"Yes." The ten captains saluted, Luo Yi returned the salute, and then sorted out his military uniform, and Luo Yi strode to the side of the ship.

The warships slowly docked in the harbor, the location of the 21st branch is Thorn Village, the area of this island is not small, the 21st naval branch is located directly north of the island, there is a separate port, and there are sea fortifications and fortress guns along the coast. Garrisoned was a branch colonel.

Luo Yi walked off the boat with three captains of the saber team, and saw a tall colonel, wearing a cloak of justice, standing under him with a very majestic leader, the rank was too much higher than Luo Yi, but Luo Yi represented Colonel Smoker.

"Colonel Monard." Luo Yi led the team to salute.

"Second Lieutenant Luo Yi, you are really young and promising, I have heard about you, and this time I can make an inspection on behalf of Colonel Smoker, which shows that Colonel Smoker attaches great importance to you."

"You've won the award, but it's just a formality, because the headquarters sent Lieutenant Colonel Pu'er to assist, and Colonel Smoker can't go to sea often, so we can only take a cruise in his place."

"Okay, then please!" There is no problem with a colonel of a branch accompanying a second lieutenant, because the headquarters navy has this right, but it is used very little, which also causes the military discipline of the branch navy to be particularly bad.

Colonel Monard said all the way that Luo Yi didn't see the slightest problem here, but that wasn't the point. After Luo Yi confirmed this expedition, he investigated the artillery consumption of the 21st Navy Branch in the name of Colonel Smoker. This is easy to find the problem, the arms branch and navy are unable to produce, so they can only have the headquarters to distribute it uniformly, and they will often report some battle damage, artillery and muskets, which is very normal.

But in such a close proximity to Rogue Town, if they really often have fierce battles, then why didn't they ask for help once, and they didn't ask for help, did they wipe out all the pirates?

So the problem is very big, and Luo Yi is not here for their base this time, but the shipyard not far away, which is very large and occupies a small island, although it can't catch up with the water capital, it is also one of the largest shipyards in the East China Sea. It's just that they don't have Hailou Stone, otherwise the warship they built can pass through the windless zone if they don't get it right, but fortunately, the headquarters strictly controls Hailou Stone.

Luo Yi also took a few more glances along the way, the soldiers here were negligent in training, and their mental state was obviously not good, and they were very different from the naval soldiers in Luoge Town, so half a day had passed.

"Thank you, Colonel Monard, the 21st Navy Branch is good." Luo Yi gave a somewhat perfunctory compliment, but Colonel Monard was unimpressed.

"There is no way to compare with the headquarters navy, but is Second Lieutenant Luo Yi leaving?"

"Yes, there are other patrol missions, this is about to go, and I will report back to the top truthfully."

"Okay, then I wish you all a smooth journey." Colonel Monard didn't show any doubts, and directly sent Luo Yi on the ship and watched them leave, but then his expression changed, "Inform all the pirates in our control area, and let them all be honest with me, the headquarters is not good this time." With that, he turned and left.

Luo Yi's face also changed after he got on the ship, "The soldiers in this base are in a very poor mental state, they have never experienced war at all, and they can't see their sharpness at all, it seems that they haven't been dispatched for a long time." ”

"Well, Second Lieutenant Luo Yi is right, although those who stand are straight, but they lack the murderous aura that a soldier should have, and the 21st branch has a big problem." A captain said.

"Will they doubt our purpose?" Another captain asked.

Luo Yi said affirmatively: "I will inevitably suspect that this inspection has no normal patrol with Ben, but it doesn't matter, they will let the pirates in the area be honest at most, but these pirates may not listen to them." All the personnel took turns to rest, and now we went straight to the Bruce shipyard and made a surprise inspection. ”

"Yes."

The naval soldiers on the warship have been in combat condition for half a day, and now they take turns to rest and be ready to fight at any time, while the warship sails directly with full sails all the way, and the target is the shipyard. Bruce Shipyard is the asset of a big businessman, and it is said that his capital is very large, so he invested in the construction of a large shipyard at one time, but how much money can civilian ships make? Or warships are the most profitable!

The distance is not very far, it takes half a day to arrive in a normal voyage, and it is under the strict control of the 21st branch, if they are really building warships, then the 21st branch says that it does not know, and the ghost will believe them.

And the 21st branch is considered the forward position of Rogue Town, and the number of pirates passing by here will not be small, it stands to reason that they will often fight, but the state of those soldiers tells Luo Yi that it is very peaceful here, which is very revealing.

When it was getting closer and closer to the shipyard, Luo Yi ordered to stop advancing, and after resting at sea for a night, he would approach there early tomorrow morning, and it would be relatively safer to rest at sea to prevent landing on the island where the shipyard was located, where the enemy was very unfavorable to the enemy and the dark, so it was better to rest overnight to ensure sufficient physical strength.
