Chapter 270. The swamp where water thieves are entrenched
After the ocean exploration was over, the tired Levi woke up on the soft big bed, and his body, which was originally sleeping in the hammock and was a little stiff, had also recovered, with a slight soreness, but also with the heaviness and stability from the earth, which made him extremely satisfied.

Stretching comfortably, Levi yawned and lifted the soft woolen blanket, and washed up quickly in the bathroom naked, so that his spirit could get rid of his drowsiness and gather again, and his whole body became radiant.
After putting on the clothes that the servants had prepared, Levi tidied up his whole body, opened the door and walked out of the room, there were two servants standing in the corner of the third floor, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly walked over and bowed his head to say hello, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready, I don't know where you are going to enjoy it?" ”
"If you have breakfast, let's take it to the first floor."
Levi also nodded, and walked towards the stairs with a casual remark, he was not in Cape Town these days, so check the recent ruling briefings recorded by Green to get the latest information and intelligence.
This is a manifestation of the chief minister Green's safety, when he assists Levi in handling the affairs of Cape Town, he will also use a notebook to record what happened as before, and also write down the methods and results of his own disposal, as well as the follow-up arrangements, which can be said to be clear at a glance.
At least Levi could easily see these things, and he also understood what had happened recently, and he could also know how to arrange the corresponding orders.
The current time is the early morning of the second day back to Cape Town, and after coming to the first floor, Levi also found that the time on the table clock was showing seven o'clock in the morning, but judging from the busy figure outside the window, Cape Town was already awake, perhaps he was the last person to get up.
"Dangdangdang."
When he came to the Consulate and sat down in his place, before he could open the administrative briefing, there was a knock at the door, and at the same time, the two servants waiting on the third floor had already appeared at the door.
They bowed their heads respectfully, held the plates in their hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this is today's breakfast. As they spoke, they came to the table with Levi's permission, and opened and laid down two small porcelain plates containing food.
"Smoked fish with fruit wood, duck breast stewed with apple, vegetable salad, and sour lemon honey jam with white bread."
Breakfast was sumptuous, and the two servants put down the porcelain plate, brought a glass of water mixed with honey and placed it beside it, and then quietly retreated, leaving Levi's table and waiting quietly not far away.
They were like waiters in a high-end restaurant, always waiting for Levi's summons and orders, but Levi did not have the slightest opinion on the delicious breakfast, the knife and fork cut the elaborate works from the chef at will, and the other hand picked up the government briefing made by Green, and carefully flipped through it.
There is not much noteworthy above, and during the two days of ocean voyage, there have been no serious incidents, and there have been no major incidents such as enemy invasions.
Many of them are the northern part of the Yuqiao River, how many fields have been reclaimed, how many fresh fish are harvested every day, how much prey is harvested, what the surrounding environment is, and the replacement of the fleet for tactical cruises, which are basically ordinary administrative plans, plain and bland, and no different from before Levi left.
However, when Levi picked up another government affairs briefing, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, put down the sliced white bread in his hand, and looked carefully at the emergencies on it, his brows furrowed more and more.
"Traces of the Ketulf River Bandits?"
The record on this briefing is from the early hours of yesterday morning, at the silver pit in the upper reaches of the Yuqiao River, the town in charge of garrisoning the town minyuan killed more than a dozen Ketufu River thieves, including the seizure of a fishing boat that attempted to investigate, and then reported the news to Green.
With a few simple words, Levi's brow furrowed even tighter, for he found that the thieves of the Ketuf River, who had been defeated and feared like a water dog, had begun to move again.
This is undoubtedly a provocation to Levi, especially when he already has a strength far beyond the original, and the group of Ketuf River thieves can't even become Levi's enemies, and have lost the qualification to compete with him, and now they dare to provoke him, which is simply self-defeating.
"But thinking about the relationship between this group of water thieves and the elves, it's really a bit troublesome."
His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and Levi's eyes were already narrowed slightly, because some kind of information that had been intercepted at the beginning undoubtedly proved the relationship between the mysterious swamp baron and the elven invasion fleet.
Because that guy is a nail planted by the elven fleet in the North Roaring Sea, and now he has also found that if he doesn't want to be stabbed in the back by the Ketufu River thieves when the elven fleet attacks Cape Town, he must take the lead in exterminating this group of water thieves entrenched in the swamp!
And for Levi, this is no longer such an unattainable dream, and if Levi wants to, then this idea will be turned into a real action with his orders.
"Inform Chief Secretary Greene, Secretary of War Wilmot."
Exhaling slowly, Levi pushed away the half-eaten breakfast, took a sip of honey water, stood up and walked towards the conference room, and at the same time instructed the servants not far away, "Let the two of them come to the conference room." ”
"Yes." One of the servants bowed his head slightly, and immediately walked outside briskly, while the other servant waited for Levi to leave, and quickly cleaned up the rest of the breakfast on the table, they had a clear division of labor, and knew what they should do without much talk.
When Levi came to the conference room, it was not a few minutes before Green and Wilmot walked in quickly, and after saluting respectfully, they also sat down and waited for Levi's instructions.
"Do you have any good advice for the Ketulf River thieves?"
Levi didn't pretend to be suspenseful, but went straight to the topic, looked at the two and said: "We need to launch a battle against them, and completely eliminate this group of filthy bugs hidden in the swamp, so that we don't have to worry about the enemies that will appear on the Yuqiao River at any time." ”
As the chief minister, Green also quickly analyzed that this was Levi's conclusion after seeing the government briefing, and also said: "According to my idea, it is to use the silver pit as a springboard to enter the swamp to exterminate them." ”
The silver pit is quite close to the swamp, and it doesn't even take ten minutes, and after climbing over the rugged hills, you can see the large swamp full of mud and foul smell, and the countless huge crocodiles hidden in the swamp, no one wants to live in it except for no way.
The same is true of the Ketulf River Bandits, who prefer to stay in the strongholds on both sides of the Ketuv River rather than actually return to the Everglades to be trapped, and even if they are honest, they don't like the smell of the smoky smell.
"The water thieves were hit hard, so we won't be resisting too much."
Wilmot also spoke slowly, his expression was also relatively relaxed, and he didn't have much of a solemn expression, but said with a slight smile: "Maybe the water thieves we captured can still play a big role in our attack on the swamp." ”
However, as he spoke, he also estimated it in his heart, and then raised his head and said to Levi: "But the group of Ketufu River thieves are all entrenched on the island in the middle of the lake in the Everglades, and it is said that the current place has been built into a small fortress castle, and with the advantage of the terrain, it is a key position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
"Island in the middle of the lake? I know that place. ”
Levi also nodded slightly, which was the main reason why he called Wilmot, because for the extermination of the water thieves in the Ketuf River and the troops entering the swamp, he also arranged the army.
Thinking about the rumors he had heard, and what the captives said about the relationship between the island in the middle of the lake and the Swamp, Levi also licked the corners of his mouth, and asked Green and Wilmot together, "Then I want to know, if we choose to attack, what do we need?" ”
"Wilmot probably understands this better."
Green waved his hand, although he knew part of the aspects of this army offense, the real experts were still by his side, at least as the Secretary of War, Wilmot also knew a lot about land warfare.
"Due to the lack of current information on the Kertuf River thieves and the island in the middle of the lake, I can't draw concrete results."
Frowning slightly, Wilmot carefully calculated in his mind, and after a while before he answered: "But warships that can cross swamps and rivers are a must, including melee units that can jump gangs, and artillery that can bombard enemy walls and warships, and this operation must be prepared." ”
"It's easy to do."
Levi nodded, warships, melee troops, and artillery can be easily recruited for him now, especially the Barbary Pirates, a skilled melee class, which is even cheaper and more cost-effective.
When it comes to fighting, the Barbary pirates are no less than the Russian garrison axemen, and even because of the scimitars in their hands, they can easily cut down any enemy, because they are fierce pirates, and compared to the regular army's one-dimensional training methods, they can do everything.
As for artillery, at present, Levi can recruit 24-pounder light cannons, this kind of large-caliber artillery is not to mention bombarding the city wall, even if it is to collapse the city wall, it is quite simple!
