Chapter 65: The Expedition
Time passed quickly in intense preparations, and in December, after more than sixty days of preparation, Tang Ling felt that it was almost over, so one order after another began to be issued.
On December 4th, the Dolphin Mercenary Group's flagship gold-class attack ship Dolphin entered Poli Island, because of its first-class mercenary mercenary group's rank, when entering the port, the horn sounded four times, following the treatment of the army.
After the Dolphin arrived in the hands of the Dolphin Mercenary Group, it has been transformed and upgraded by Tang Ling and Zhuge successively, and now the level is at level 37, but the main gun and hull are already level 40, reaching the highest level of the gold level.
The Dolphin Mercenary Group is now in the limelight enough, and the dreadnought-class battleships are not what the Dolphin Mercenary Group can have at this stage, and a Dolphin is already a concession made by Emperor Qin in the eyes of family affection, so in addition to one Dolphin, the rest of the main warships of the Dolphin Mercenary Group are only three silver-class assault ships, and twelve Black Iron-class assault ships.
is this lineup, which is also at the middle and upper level among mercenaries of the same level, and these main battleships are still at the 10th level of this stage, and they can be promoted at any time.
Although the arrival of the Dolphin Mercenary Group was not greeted by the two military and political directors in person, Steward Xie came, and the two families have always maintained good business relations, and the two sides are mutually beneficial and get along well.
"Captain Tang, I wonder if there are any old servants who can help you this time in Poly Island?"
"Butler Xie, we are here to take on the task this time!" Tang Wan'er still likes this kind old man, so she said the purpose.
"Oh? It seems that your regiment is ready to let go of it, so I will accompany you beautiful ladies to the mercenary administration! ”
Ordinary mercenary groups, the escort tasks are taken by merchants or officials directly to their left-behind personnel on the island to discuss the details of the mission, and only mercenaries, the official has set up a special management office, because they can accept war missions.
When they came to the hall of the management office, the shadows of the women's soldiers attracted the attention of one by one for the first time, but most of them were just glanced at and put aside, because there were no vains under the fame, and the Dolphin Mercenary Group had recently exterminated more than a dozen groups of pirates, and the pirates everywhere the Dolphin went.
This is a group of women who are stronger than men, this is a group of women from the magical island of Treasure Boat Island, so no one wants to provoke these seemingly delicate beauties.
"Wow..."
"Shhh
"O my co-master!"
Everyone knows that the other party is not here for tourism, but the people who came to take over the task in the past were the captain or Li Ruonan, the deputy head of the regiment.
Unexpectedly, Tang Wan'er stepped forward and tore off the mission notice of the Lilong Pirate Group, which immediately caused an uproar and inhalation, what kind of crazy is the Dolphin Mercenary Group? The mission of the Dragon Banner Pirate Regiment is to tear it apart!
Although the management office has never asked to complete the next task, but it is all about face, face is sometimes more important than life, in this public to take on this kind of task that is second only to participating in the war, if you can't complete it, you will be discredited, that's not really a joke!
"A woman is a woman after all..."
"Think you're going to heaven and exterminate the Dragon Banner Pirates? My co-master, your brain is burned out! ”
"Tut-tut, it seems that the nutrition is the whole length of the whole length of the other place..."
“······”
No matter where they are, this kind of person abounds, and now everyone has begun to wait to see the jokes of the dolphin mercenary group, and take advantage of them first.
Tang Wan'er didn't make any rebuttal to this, but the smile on the corner of her mouth when she left attracted the attention of several people!
Not many people know how strong Treasure Boat Island is, but in the same way, some people in the imperial capital know far more information than the people on the scene.
In particular, the key to the victory of the warship island some time ago, where the equipment called "flying machine" came from, they are clear. Moreover, the grievances and grievances between the Ocean Chamber of Commerce and Treasure Boat Island have also been slowly investigated by those who have a heart, and they know better than anyone the relationship between the Lilong Pirate Group and the Ocean Chamber of Commerce.
So... Treasure Ship Island is going to do something to the Ocean Chamber of Commerce!
Several young people in the management office made eye contact with each other, and they all realized the seriousness of it, some of them were from the Taiwei side's side, naturally there were also people from the royal family's side, and even some people from other forces, who were either hostile to each other or allies to each other, but at this time they had the same idea: report it immediately!
······
On December 5th, the expedition fleet of Treasure Ship Island slowly sailed out of the roundabout under the farewell of the islanders, and when they left, the soldiers of the escort fleet looked at them, and there was an envy in their eyes, this is the sorrow of the escort fleet, and they must not easily leave the island they are guarding, unless it has been captured!
On this expedition, the composition of the fleet is divided into three parts, one is the Dolphin Mercenary Group, the second is the Caribbean Pirate Group, and the third is the Hofune Island Self-Defense Fleet.
The Dolphin Mercenary Regiment dispatched 1 Gold-class attack ship, 3 Silver-class attack ships, 12 Black Iron-class assault ships, and several powered warships.
The Caribbean Pirates dispatched 3 Gold-class assault ships, 3 Silver-class assault ships, 6 Black Iron-class assault ships and 6 assault ships, and a number of powered warships.

In terms of personnel, the Dolphin Mercenary Regiment dispatched 500 elite members, the Caribbean Pirates Regiment dispatched 600 elite members, and as for Treasure Island Island, the first and second militia teams each left 500 people, and the three teams were all dispatched, with more than 1,500 fighters, and the three parties combined for a total of 2,600 people.
In addition, there is also a logistics team led by Li Mu, which is mainly composed of battleship builders who have not taken the pilot license test, and they will be responsible for the creation of ammunition and the repair of ships.
This is the largest movement in the history of Treasure Ship Island, hundreds of ships have gone to war, thousands of soldiers, and everyone is equipped with firearms, and they have all been systematically trained, and their combat power is no worse than that of active soldiers, especially with the Treasure Boat Island Elite Team and the Caribbean Elite Team, which are completely trained according to special forces, with guns, the combat effectiveness has surpassed the elites of the empire.
Because of the escort fleet sent by Zhang Lang, because of the tens of thousands of female militiamen left behind on the island, and because of Teacher Zhuge in charge, Tang Ling dared to take all his family money out this time.
