"All I have now is the flagship core of a 'Destroyer'." Mo Cheng stared at the Shogun, "For an average commander, a flagship core of this level is good enough. But for me, it limits my play considerably. And do you know what the flagship core used by Kalman is? ”

"Han Tian helped Kalman win the battle of the 'Iron and Blood Great Wall', and specially lent him the flagship core 'God's Blessing' that he used for the time being. ”

"Yes, your intelligence system is better than ours." Mo Cheng nodded, and then continued, "Within the Universe, in addition to the top-notch 'Tearful Mercy', there are many other high-level flagship cores. Each of these flagship cores is from the master and cannot be copied. And the 'Angel Blessing' flagship core has reached the level of double S. This flagship core can not only give full play to Kalman's command ability, but also give him a lot of bonuses. I calculated that if this flagship core was used, then with Kalman's ability, he could command more than 10,000 large warships. If we just rush to kill the past, using these clones who have never seen a battle formation as the main combat force, coupled with the disparity in strength, we will definitely lose. ”

Hearing this, Tuo Lao already understood, "Unlike Serkolev, the king of pirates back then, Blackbeard has a flagship core 'Angel's Kiss' in his hand that does not match his ability. ”

"Yes, I specifically made the result." Mo Cheng nodded, "This 'Angel's Kiss', although it is not as good as the 'Blessing of God', it can also be regarded as the best in the single S-level flagship core. As long as we get the 'Angel's Kiss', we won't be completely out of chances. ”

"Just for the sake of a flagship core, pay such a heavy price, isn't it ......" Tuo Tuo looked at Mo Cheng with some hesitation.

"What else would you do? There are no more than 100 flagship cores of the S-class and above in the whole universe. The reason why Blackbeard was forced to become a pirate, in addition to his own character problems, also had a lot to do with his reluctance to sacrifice this flagship core. Could it be that you have a better way to get your hands on the S-class flagship core? Mo Cheng asked rhetorically.

"I have such a good flagship core, but unfortunately, it's not in my hands, but in my master's." I don't know where to go to my teacher right now. He never brought instant messengers with his old man, and he only checked his email once every two or three months. ”

Mo Cheng didn't really wait for an answer, and continued: "Besides, in addition to grabbing this flagship core, it is also necessary to let these clones who have never seen a battle formation see some blood. Let me tell you, don't look at these pirates, they are all veterans, they don't need to practice at all, they just go straight to the combination after they are combined. As long as they are not at a significant disadvantage on the battlefield, they can be trusted. What really gives us headaches for them is not on the battlefield, but after victory. ”

Tuo was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of something, he looked at Mo Cheng with some surprise, "Don't you tell me, you plan to make these clones the main force?" ”

"You're right, I'm going to use these clones as my main force." Mo Cheng said, bringing up the star map, "My plan is like this......"

After Mo Cheng spoke for about ten minutes, he immediately shook his head, "No matter how strong a commander's command ability is, it must be based on the soldiers obeying orders. These clones didn't go through the battle formation at all, you let them be the main force at the beginning, what if they mutinied? ”

"What else?" Mo Cheng asked rhetorically, "For these pirates, they're just a job. There is no real loyalty at all. In a way, it is equivalent to a mercenary in disguise. They can only be used to press formations and make wings. If I were to use them as the main force to fight the Cape of Good Hope. I can tell you with certainty that in the face of terrible casualties, they are not possible, but they will mutiny. I ask you, between a possible mutiny and a certain mutiny, what do you choose? ”

He didn't know what to say, but he opened his mouth to say something.

"Don't say so much, everything goes according to plan. Reorganizing the fleet, I led five hundred and fifty heavy battleships, one thousand four hundred and fifty heavy cruisers. All of this is made by clones. Speaking of this, Mo Cheng looked at the support, "Two thousand warships is the maximum limit that I can perfectly command the fleet under the core limit of the 'Destroyer' flagship. As for the remaining two thousand and fifty heavy cruisers, I intend to keep them in the 'Heart of the Dragon'. I have calculated, only 200,000 people are needed, then these heavy cruisers can do the minimum maneuvering. And that's exactly what I asked of them - they just had to meet us at our designated place after our battle was over. ”

"As for the other 3,000 light cruisers, you're all in charge. The remaining 600,000 pirate warriors were all assigned to these ships. I have two 'Destroyers' here, one of which I left for you. With your ability, if you are given a 'destroyer' and lead 3,000 warships, just to make a feint and not to do a strong battle, there should be no problem, right? ”

Tuo knew that Mo Cheng was somewhat tempting to say such things at this time.

If it had been before, he would have been a little tired of his cunning temptation, but at this time, he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand in front of Mo Cheng, "Give me the 'destroyer'." ”

As soon as he heard Tuo Tuo say this, Mo Cheng knew that his guess about Tuo was right.

This person is not a simple assistant to the president, but a person with strong strategic command ability. Although, it is not possible to specifically determine what exactly his strategic index is. But one thing is for sure, at least it won't be worse than Kalman.

Because this guy is strange and strange, but from any point of view, his aura is higher than that bastard of Kalman.

Although it claims to have the strength of eighty admiral-level main formations, like all oversized institutions in the world, the Blackbeard Pirates are not monolithic.

Of the eighty main formations, there are fifty formations, all of which are automatically attached to other small pirate groups, as well as introduced by the end of the night. These strengths are basically just under the banner of the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment, and they are just doing their own thing.

As for the remaining thirty formations, twenty formations have been kept out to loot and forage for food for many years, and the remaining ten formations are guarding their homes.

Normally, the task of guarding the house should be performed by everyone in turns. However, because expeditions usually enjoy higher dividends, each formation is more inclined to go out to rob than to guard home. Under the trend of Darwin's idea of the law of the jungle, it was natural that the stronger formations often went out to plunder, while the weaker formations stayed at home to watch their families.

It is precisely for this reason that the fleet left behind in the "Caladian" pirate fortress, except for the three formations directly under the Blackbeard Flying Wolf himself, are relatively strong, and the other seven formations are not strong in terms of equipment or combat power.

Before deciding to launch an attack on Caladiang, the city of Mer had already paid a high price to purchase military intelligence for Caladion at the Abyss Exploration Guild.

At present, the military establishment of "Caladiang" is like this, the seven weaker main formations are basically following the main formation of the admiral level that is popular in the universe, but none of them are fully established.

All combined, there were about 300 heavy battles, 500 battleships, 2,000 heavy cruisers, 1,500 cruisers, and about 5,000 other auxiliary ships.

There were about eight million pirate crews.

The formation directly under the Flying Wolf, which is basically equal to the three admiral formations, has 200 heavy battleships, 400 battleships, 1,000 heavy cruisers, 1,000 cruisers, and 3,000 other auxiliary ships.

There were about five million pirate crews.

In terms of battleships alone, the defensive strength of the "Caladian" consisted of 500 heavy battles, 900 battleships, 3,000 heavy cruisers, 2,500 cruisers, and 8,000 other auxiliary ships.

Such a number is not a remarkable number in a large allied battle. But if it's just to protect one, ready to move a pirate fortress, then it's more than enough.

If you just look at the data, it is actually not much different from the current military strength of the Black Angel Army.

However, considering that the real intention of the city was to fight, it was only five hundred and fifty heavy battleships, and one thousand four hundred and fifty heavy cruisers. Therefore, the combat power of his warships is actually only half of that of the other side.

There are two other factors that are more important.

First, the clones of the Black Angels are fighting for the first time.

Second, after the Black Angel Army finished this battle, it only had a very short time to recuperate, and then they had to immediately rush to the "Cape of Good Hope" to fight a war that was even more fierce than this war.

That is to say, the Black Angel Army must first win, and it must be a complete victory, because if it does not win completely, it will not be able to catch the Flying Wolf. If you can't catch the flying wolf, you can't get the "Angel's Kiss". In addition to the fact that it must be completely victorious, the Black Angel Army's own losses can be too great, and if it loses a lot, it will not be able to start a second war.

Even for Merce, it was a huge test.

For this, the holder is very well aware.

Therefore, at this time, he just chose to stand up and volunteer to be Mo Cheng's assistant. And without asking, "Are you sure you will win?" .

Three days later, a fleet of Blackbeard pirates who had returned from a raid suddenly spotted a huge point of light on the radar.

"Report to the big leader, the other side has a total of 5,000 warships, and the distance is one hundred and fifty light seconds, according to the current direction and speed. We'll meet in about three minutes. ”

The pirate leader, who was still immersed in the joy of returning from the plunder, was so frightened by the sudden blindness of light that he jumped up from the command chair. Almost immediately, he gave such an order, "immediately identify the type of ship and calculate the comprehensive combat power." At the same time, find a way to contact the other party and ask for their identity. ”

And at this time, Mo Cheng was on his flagship, talking to the support on another ship.

"The other party shouldn't have a way to find out what kind of ships we have, right?" Hold on to Mocheng.

Mo Cheng nodded, "If that guy Ulis didn't fool me, then the stealth technology he gave me should still be effective at this distance." ”

Tuo asked "How long will it take for the other party to discover our true strength?" ”

Mo Cheng replied: "According to Yuris, if the distance is as close as two light seconds, the other party has no more than forty percent chance of discovering our true strength. However, to be on the safe side, we can put this distance at four light-seconds, or five-light-second. ”

He nodded, and said, "From a hundred light-seconds, the efficiency of the interfering radio waves we emit begins to rise rapidly. With the strength of our fleet, as long as it is close to fifty light seconds, then it can basically completely paralyze their communication capabilities. ”

"Yes, but it doesn't have to wait for a hundred light-seconds. Let's start interfering with the airwaves and put some pressure on these guys. Let them know that they only have a lot of time to send out a distress signal. Mo Cheng smiled and said, "I hope their pleas for help can meet our requirements." ”

As soon as he said this, he saw that his communication screen was suddenly replaced by another image.

It was the big boss of the pirate group who replaced the signal of the support with a strong signal.

"We are the twenty-sixth formation of the Blackbeard Underworld Regiment. What kind of troops are you? What is your purpose? ”

Mo Cheng showed a faint smile and said gently, "You have a minute to think about a question - whether to be completely destroyed or surrendered. ”
