Eric was in the middle of the spring breeze, standing on the bridge of a French 'Chasing the Wind'-class frigate, feeling comfortable. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info how vast the sea area in front of him was, just like his mood at the moment.

Although Bane's methods are a little bad, as a person who does big things, his command ability is still good. Immediately after taking possession of the Soyo refinery, he realized that he needed a strong sea force to defend his lair - because Soyo was close to the sea.

Compared with the army, the navy and air force are highly specialized services. Bane could get his hands on more warships, but there were too few people who could handle them, and it was more troublesome to get them running. The problems that Zhou Qingfeng encountered on the USS Kennedy aircraft carrier, Bane will only encounter more.

Maintenance materials such as lubricating oil are indispensable for driving a car, and the maintenance required on warships will only be more and more complex in terms of variety and quantity.

Zhou Qingfeng's solution to this problem is to simply find some relatively backward small-tonnage ships, backward means simple, and small tonnage means small consumption. So he was equipped with a large number of dinghys of less than 500 tons, which he could not afford to raise.

Bane uses a similar line of thought. He recruited a group of long-retired naval soldiers and merchant sailors, and converted several thousand-ton frigates. For example, the advanced 'Chasing the Wind' class missile frigates were converted into gunboats. In these days, simplicity and practicality are king.

In addition to a 76-mm 'Otto' main gun, the 'Chasing Wind' class that Eric is currently waiting for also has two larger-caliber 155mm howitzers -- which are directly loaded onto warships with army guns, which is the easiest to modify and has very powerful firepower. At least for now, there are no drawbacks.

In addition to the 'Chasing the Wind' class, Eric's fleet also has two frigates of several hundred tons, two landing ships of the thousand ton class, with tanks and armored vehicles, and a landing force of several hundred people.

"Captain Smith, trust me, you're going to make a name for yourself this time. I know the port of Luanda very well, where there is no defense at all, we can attack the port directly, and even launch a landing battle. If the enemy is not strong, we can even occupy the dock. ”

In the past, the city of Luanda was occupied by tens of thousands of bitter black uncles, and there was nothing to be gained in occupying it. But now that the news of the Aurora Legion landing with 100,000 tons of supplies has spread, Luanda immediately attracts countless eyes like a piece of fat.

Eric knows the port of Luanda very well and can speak in the face of all kinds of inquiries. Captain Smith, who was across from him, was the commander of the operation, and he relied heavily on Eric, and the two even had a drink from time to time, which was considered an early celebration.

It is only more than 300 kilometers from Soyo to Luanda, and with the current speed of 24 knots of the 'Chasing Wind' class, it can be reached in half a day. In fact, the fleet is now two-thirds of the way and can launch an attack before dark.

Looking at the time, Captain Smith suddenly felt a little sleepy. He turned around and ordered the star officer to go and rest for a while, but saw the star officer walking over with a frown. This expression often means that something is in trouble.

"What's the matter?" The captain asked.

"A liaison named Danny sent a telegram saying that an enemy pirate ship disguised as a yacht was trying to sneak up on Soyo. According to the route, the camouflaged boat will soon run into us. The star officer said.

"Camouflage boats? Very interesting. Captain Smith sneered, he knew exactly who the 'liaisons' were. Those are all bullying weak and domineering scumbags, and the so-called 'camouflage boat' is only afraid that it has offended which Danny.

"Leave it alone, our goal is Luanda." Captain Smith still has a bit of military pride. He won't waste his time for a villain, he has his glory to earn.

It's just that Captain Smith didn't provoke the 'camouflage boat', but the 'camouflage boat' took the initiative to provoke him. Just when the 'Chasing the Wind'-class frigate was chopping through the waves and moving forward, a small dot appeared on the warship's sea-searching radar, and soon a small dot appeared in front of the warship.

Zhou Qingfeng originally wanted to go to Soyo Port to see the situation in person, but halfway through, the radar actually showed that a fleet was coming from north to south. If you look closer, it's a fleet, and it's clearly a fleet. There are frigates with modified artillery, and landing ships with personnel equipment.

This shows that the comer is not good!

When the yacht approached the visual distance, the two sides were already less than a kilometer. Waiting to find out that something was wrong, Zhou Qingfeng naturally turned around and left immediately. On the 'Chasing the Wind'-class frigate, both Captain Smith and Eric saw the scene. Seeing the yacht dodging in a hurry, the two of them both laughed.

On this sea, the big ship is better than the small ship, and the more ships are better than the few ships. A 20-meter-long yacht is already a luxury, but it is far from a regular warship. Any of Captain Smith's warships was much larger than a yacht, so he was naturally entitled to ridicule it.

It's just that Zhou Qingfeng didn't stay away after turning around, he followed behind a landing ship and asked in the maritime public frequency for help: "Forward fleet, which force do you belong to?" ”

There was no need to bother Captain Smith at all for such a call, and the communications officer on the 'Chasing the Wind'-class bridge could answer, "We are a fleet under the Bane Leader. ”

"Where are you going?" He asked again on the radio.

"Military secrets, no comment." The communications officer refused to answer.

"You're going to attack the Aurora Legion in the port of Luanda, aren't you? Is it okay not to go? The Aurora Legion are all good people. "There was a lot of pestering on the radio, and the words were quite funny.

The communications officer on the 'Chasing the Wind' class was extremely speechless at this kind of self-questioning and self-answering, and couldn't help but laugh. The bridge is such a big place, and some people laugh for no reason to naturally attract attention, Captain Smith learned the reason, and immediately shouted unceremoniously: "Let him get out of the way, or I will sink him!" ”

The communications officer did not change a word and sent it as it was. After a while, there was a sigh over the radio call, as if full of helplessness.

Captain Smith only thought that this 'fly' would leave, but on the other end of the call, Zhou Qingfeng shrugged after putting down the radio transmitter and said, "It looks like we have to move." ”

"Are we going to hit the lead warship?" Erin Ellie asked in unison.

"Well......, I'm afraid that's unlikely." Zhou Qingfeng immediately shook his head, his hundred-ton yacht also needs to know something, a frigate of more than 1,000 tons is not something he can shake. "We ......, at most, harass the landing ships behind the opposing fleet."

"But what are we going to do to harass the landing ship?" The sisters looked at Zhou Qingfeng blankly, they originally came out to play, and there were only some basic individual equipment on the yacht, and it was impossible to fight a warship.

"Uh......, I'll look in the cabin." Zhou Qingfeng didn't have a problem with this.

"We also have weapons on this yacht to fight warships?" The sisters were stunned, and they really couldn't think of any weapons that could hit a warship would be hidden on the yacht in advance.

But Zhou Qingfeng really went to 'find' alone, and he quickly 'found' some old military green boxes in a utility compartment, "I think we can use these things to surprise the enemy's landing ship." ”

"What is this?" The sisters looked at the box, not knowing why.

Zhou Qingfeng smiled proudly: "This is the Red Arrow-73." ”
