Chapter 257: Bar Rumors
Nassau, Harbor Bar.
The deserted bar was dimly lit, and there were only a dozen or so people scattered in dozens of seats, all drinking and whispering the latest news. The atmosphere of the whole bar is a bit decadent and frustrating.
In the midst of everyone's discussion, the door of the bar was slammed open, and a middle-aged man covered in oil stains walked in from outside, slapped a few bullets in front of the bar, and shouted: "Give me a glass of brandy, don't mix it with water." ”
As soon as the owner of the bar saw the other party's dress, he pushed the bullets back, and took out a bottle of good wine from the wine cabinet and poured it for the visitor, and asked the other party in a low voice: "Friend, this wine is free for me, give us some news, tell us what happened to General Santos?" ”
As soon as the boss asked, the entire bar pricked up their ears and looked at them with an inquiring gaze.
The oil-stained man picked up the brandy, sniffed it contentedly, and poured it into his stomach in one gulp. After he sighed again, he smiled bitterly: "What is there to ask?" Didn't you all see it? In the morning, nearly 30 boats, large and small, went out, and only a dozen or so boats returned in the afternoon. General Santos' baby frigate was all in tatters, and it was lucky to be able to drive it back. ”
"Failed?"
"Do you need to talk about that?"
"The enemy is strong?"
"That's for sure."
In a few words, the entire bar crowded, staring at the repairman at the dock in front of them, hoping to get more information. The barkeeper poured another half glass of brandy into the glass, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about the specific situation, we all want to know the details." ”
The oil-stained man looked at the crowd around him, hiccuped and laughed, and said, "About half a month ago, two huge ships came from the north. General Santos's baby frigate happened to meet the other party, and he wanted to rob the other party at that time, but the opponent was very alert and fled.
Later, the two sides met several times, and General Santos tried to use entangled tactics to consume the other party's fuel, but later found that the other party didn't seem to care about fuel consumption at all, and the other party's ship type was very special, so he searched the existing information and found that the other party was actually a nuclear-powered research ship 'Aurora'. ”
As soon as he said 'nuclear power', the whole bar suddenly burst into an uproar. Everyone exclaimed, "Nuclear power, no wonder it can sail far", "It must be a very big ship", "It seems that the other side has a lot of power."
The oil-stained man was very satisfied with the sensation he had created, and said with a smile again: "Not only is it an 'Aurora', General Santos's men also found another large freighter with a heavy draft. He felt that his chance to make a fortune had come, so he tried to get in touch with the other party and tried to detain a boat.
As a result, the other side simply refused, and in the ensuing battle, a missile boat was sunk with a self-detonating drone, and two were damaged, including the "Great General", which also damaged the deck. ”
As soon as he said this, the crowd exclaimed again, and someone shouted: "I have an impression of this, just ten days ago, when General Santos was still giving a speech in the port, and the frigate that was damaged made him angry. ”
This matter has been big news recently, and it has long been widely known, and everyone lowered their heads to discuss it, and looked at the oil-stained man again. The oil-stained man had already drunk the third glass of brandy and said again: "Since that humiliation, General Santos has been urging the shipyard to repair the frigate.
We worked hard for more than a week, and only yesterday we managed to fix the boat. Today, General Santos took almost all of his men out of the port to take revenge on the enemy. This time, General Santos's son, Quino, also flew more than twenty modified small planes to help in the war.
You must have felt that General Santos would win this time, and the general himself was very confident in this attack, but unfortunately the opponent became stronger. According to the accounts of the sailors who escaped, a rather fierce air battle broke out between the two sides, with more than 20 planes against a helicopter, but what was the result? ”
As soon as the oil-stained man sold the guanzi, everyone immediately speculated, but the owner of the bar poured a small glass of brandy. After the oil-stained man hung everyone's appetite, he whispered: "More than twenty fights were fought, and as a result, Quino, who commanded the air attack, was shot down and died. ”
Wow...... everyone was in an uproar again.
"Didn't win like this?"
"Isn't General Santos going to be furious?"
"He's going to get revenge."
"No wonder the fight is so bad, the other party must have suffered a lot of losses, right?"
Hearing the last question, the oil-stained man shook his head slowly, and after everyone was quiet, he said slowly: "You are wrong, compared to General Santos's loss, the other party's loss is minimal. Their two giant ships did not appear at all, only one patrol boat came out to fight. ”
"Patrol boats ......, how can patrol boats fight?"
"Patrol boats are usually equipped with machine guns, can they defeat General Santos's warship?"
"And with only one, it's impossible to win."
The oil-stained man still shook his head with a smile, "You all underestimate this force too much, and now General Santos's subordinates call this inexplicable force the 'Aurora Army'." Both battles were defeated and they were all afraid.
This regiment has unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters, as well as tanks. By the way, they put the tank on the front deck of the patrol boat and used it as a battery, and as a result, they paralyzed General Santos's frigate with a single shot. I heard from those sailors that the enemy should be using laser-guided artillery shells, which can hit more than 10 kilometers away and are extremely powerful.
In the end, General Santos could only fight desperately with the opponent, losing a large number of speedboats and torpedo boats before he could get close to the opponent, but in the process of approaching, he was continuously bombarded by the opponent with heavy artillery. The battle was extremely fierce, and it was not easy to get close to the opponent's patrol boat and lose power, but the opponent's counterattack knocked out the front main gun. ”
Wow......, wow......, wow......, exclamations came and went. Someone asked, "This 'Aurora Legion' is so powerful, will they drive General Santos away?" Will they continue to attack Nassau? ”
At this time, the oil-stained man finally couldn't answer, he shook his head and said: "I don't know about this matter, anyway, I only know that General Santos was beaten and suffered great losses, especially the death of his son was also a heavy injury to him." However, there are also rumors that General Santos will ask for help from his backstage, and this battle is afraid that it will only be long. ”
That's all there is to it, and everyone is talking about it again. Some people lament that the world is in chaos and that there is no hope for mankind anymore. Someone is talking about where to find this 'Aurora Army', maybe a job or something.
On the contrary, there were two people sitting in the corner of the bar, one of whom was wearing a cowboy hat and a middle-aged man with a more mature face and said to the young man next to him: "Go and ask, how can I get in touch with this 'Aurora Army'?" ”
The young man walked up to the bar, took a few bullets and asked for a few messages, and when he returned, he said, "Mr. East, the 'Aurora Legion' is now stationed in Mars, on the northern island of Grand Abaco, and their giant ship is probably desperate for a suitable port. ”
"Great, maybe we can find an ally and fight the pirates of the Caribbean together." (To be continued.) )
