In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed, and the time came to the twenty-sixth day of February in the year 1558 of the Alpha calendar.

Because of Lao Biao's overall management, coupled with the large number of business talents provided by Fat Pig as the core, the business operation of the "Cape of Good Hope" is much faster than the original plan.

In the past two months, the "Cape of Good Hope" has completed the full handover of the pirate trade, and the trading group of Fat Pig has begun to launch in full swing.

In the past month, Fat Pig has shown his strength, and in one week, he has generated more business than in the previous five months. And, it is very obvious to all of us that this rapid development trend is just the beginning.

Even Zaken, who was the least concerned about commerce, could see that the pirate trade at the Cape of Good Hope would be much larger than originally planned.

According to Lao Biao's estimates, I am afraid that it will be expanded by two to three times, which means that the scale of the pirate trade will be six to nine times that of the original admiral.

All of this comes from Fat Pig's huge distribution network and purchase channels, and the trading group under Fat Pig can sell almost any stolen goods brought by pirates in the shortest possible time, and can also buy everything that the pirates need in the shortest time.

Fat Pig also wrote a letter to Mo Cheng, discussing with him very carefully, and at the appropriate time, he could consider opening an arms black market in the "Cape of Good Hope".

Fat Pig said in the letter that as long as Mo Cheng did this, then the profit he would make would be incalculable, and he even encouraged Mo Cheng to become an arms dealer as big as the Heaven Breaker.

However, Mo Cheng was not infected by Fat Pig's passion, because he knew very well that it was not appropriate for him to further provoke the Heaven Breaker King now.

In the current situation, he does need money, but it is not much, and it must be solved through the arms trade against pirates, and his immediate priority is to build a new army with complete formation and training.

After consulting Lao Biao's opinion, Mo Cheng replied to Fat Pig that he agreed with Fat Pig's idea and that the arms trade was indeed profitable. However, the current "Wings of Satan" pirates have a relationship with him as an enemy or an ally. Both of these relationships make them unsuitable for a relationship such as the arms trade. In view of this, he suggested that the establishment of the arms black market should be postponed for the time being.

This is tantamount to a tactful rejection of Fat Pig's suggestion.

On the other hand, Lao Biao also completed all the preparations required for the operation of Black Angel Security Company with a speed beyond Mo Cheng's expectations. According to Lao Biao's report to Mercheng, from a purely commercial point of view, Black Angel Security is ready to enter operations.

Compared to the high-speed commercial operations, the Black Angels' military progress is slightly inferior.

According to the drawings submitted by Mo Cheng, all the original military equipment on the "Cape of Good Hope" has been adjusted to fifteen complete production lines of Shenlong fighters.

On average, each production line can produce one Shenlong fighter every two days, which means that the "Cape of Good Hope" can produce 7.5 Shenlong fighters per day.

This speed is much slower than the rate of two hundred planes per day in Mer City, but given that the Black Angels currently need too many places to use money, and because it is a new weapon after all, it will take a little time for the workers to become familiar with the production process. Therefore, this speed can only be endured for the time being.

However, Mer City gave a dead order that no matter what happens in the next three months, it must move forward at a rate of at least one additional production line per week.

Within half a year, the Shenlong fighters on the "Cape of Good Hope" must be mass-produced at least 200 per day.

If the production line is not in a hurry, then the parts factory part can be removed and the parts can be purchased exclusively from the market, and then the "Cape of Good Hope" will only complete the production part.

Because Black Angel Security is scheduled to have to wait four months before it opens, and seven months before it starts to make a profit. In other words, the task of mass-producing 200 Shenlong fighters can only rely on the "Cape of Good Hope's" own taxes and the pirate trade dividends received from Fat Pig.

According to Lao Biao's calculations, in the next six months, this production target alone will account for more than 60 percent of the "Cape of Good Hope's" financial resources.

This means that during these four months, the expansion of the regular fleet that can be allocated to the Black Angel Army is extremely limited.

In the past two months, the establishment of the Black Angel Army has only expanded by four formations, and in the next four months, according to financial estimates, it can only increase the strength of about two more formations at most.

Fortunately, Lao Biao did not put a lot of pressure on Lao Biao in terms of budget, and he paid more attention to the improvement of the fleet's own combat power, rather than rushing to expand the fleet.

Since taking office, the Black Angels have been in a high-density training for simulated combat.

He made software from what he had learned in the military academy and the various training courses he had created with his own talents, and provided them to the simulator for all members of the Black Angels Army to train.

At Zongda's request, Toilo also provided some slightly low-end training courses for Zongda's pirate group. As for the other pirate groups, they received more low-end training courses.

However, even so, in a short period of time, the pirate group found that these courses had a rather obvious effect on the cohesion of their team and the cultivation of various combat qualities.

Initiated by Zongda and followed by other pirate groups, these pirates who had signed a disguised military alliance with the Black Angel Army asked the Black Angel Army to send officers to help them improve their combat power.

Within a few days, the Black Angels were conducting joint exercises with the pirate regiment of Zonda. The drill was attended by the leaders of all the Allied Pirate Regiments.

As a result, in this exercise, the Black Angel Army used only the strength of two formations to completely annihilate the Order Pirate Regiment with five formations in Zongda.

The process of the battle shocked the leaders of these pirate groups more than the results, and the Black Angel Army's combat quality, coordination, and will to fight during this exercise made the pirates extremely shocked.

Especially when they knew that these two formations of the Black Angel Army were also pirate legions, they were even more surprised.

As if it were a chain reaction, all of the pirate groups invited the Black Angels to conduct joint exercises with them.

In order to fully meet the needs of these pirate groups, he even did not hesitate to dismantle his fleet and conduct exercises with multiple pirate groups at the same time.

The first is to prove the strength of the Black Angel Army to these pirates, so that they will be in awe and rely on the Black Angel Army. Second, it is also through this process that their troops can build up strong confidence and accumulate considerable combat experience. Third, it is also true that they want to improve the combat effectiveness of these pirate groups.

Anyway, after all, these people will be the help of the Black Angel Army in the future.

It should be said that in both respects, the support was carried out quite successfully.

Today, nearly a month later, the Pirate Coalition has finally been officially formed, and it has been named the Bright Coalition.

As a symbol of the formation of the army, the Guangming United Army officially established the command headquarters of the Guangming United Army at the "Cape of Good Hope".

After being elected by the other pirate leaders, Zongda became the commander-in-chief of the Bright Coalition, while Benz, as the representative of the Black Angels, became the deputy commander of the Coalition.

In the joint program of the combined forces, the first is to resolutely safeguard the economic interests of the Black Angel Security Company and ensure the official operation of the Black Angel Security Company.

The Black Angels did not join the Illuminators, but they did have a very formal military alliance with the Illuminators.

The day after the signing of the military alliance agreement, the highest-level military conference was held at the "Cape of Good Hope".

In the past two months, in addition to training the army and integrating the Bright Pirate Regiment, there is also a very important job.

That is to assist Zaken and set up his intelligence system.

To To's surprise, Zaken's talent for intelligence was much stronger than he had imagined. After getting enough funds from Lao Biao, he has been pushing forward the construction of the intelligence system as quickly as possible.

Today, more than two months later, his intelligence system has more than 2,000 professional intelligence agents and more than 10,000 amateur intelligence officers.

And more importantly, in the past two months, Zaken's intelligence system has indeed collected a lot of useful information.

It was on the basis of this information that he judged that he had to do something as soon as possible.

This is precisely why, just the day after the signing of the formal military alliance agreement, the military conference was held in a hurry.

In the conference room, there were only Toto, Benz, Zonda, and the leaders of the other nine pirate regiments, a total of twelve people.

It was a confidential meeting of the highest level, and when the information he had obtained was released, everyone in the conference room exclaimed, except for Benz and Zonda, who had known about it for a long time, and after more than two months of preparation by the Satanic Wings Pirate Guild, they sent a total of sixty-five formations to attack the "Cape of Good Hope" on March 16, 1558 in the Alpha calendar.

Of these formations, the Blackbeard Pirates accounted for half, with a total of thirty-three formations, sixteen formations of the Masla Pirate Regiment, and sixteen formations of the Flame Pirate Regiment.

Sixty-five formations, what is this concept?

The total strength of the Black Angel Army now is about twelve formations, Zongda has five formations, and the remaining nine pirate groups add up to only thirty-six formations.

This means that even if the Bright Coalition Army all abandons their hometowns and supports the Black Angel Army with all their might, they will be twelve formations smaller in military strength than the Satan-Wings Pirate Guild's attack this time.

In fact, both the leaders of these pirate groups knew that it was impossible for them to send troops with all their might. Even if it is a real regular army, there has never been a reason to abandon their hometown in order to save others, not to mention that they are still a pirate group for profit in essence?

At this time, the leaders of those pirate groups felt a little deceived.

This can be seen from the slightly dissatisfied glances they exchanged with each other.

"We order the pirate regiment to send four formations." At this point, Zongda was the first to break the deadlock and raise his hand.

After Zongda said this, he glanced around with all the people present, and no one spoke again.

So, he said lightly: "The ink on the military alliance contract between our Black Angel Army and the Bright Federation has not yet dried, and according to the contract, at this time, you should reach out to the rescue." However, we also know that for pirates, survival is a prerequisite for the fulfillment of all contracts. Therefore, if you don't want to execute this contract, we Black Angels won't say anything. ”

"It's not that we don't want support, it's just that the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great. This battle really doesn't stand a good chance of winning. Besides, even if they win, the Satan-Wings Pirate Guild will only lose a quarter of their strength, and we, the Illuminated Coalition, will be all disabled. When that time comes, the Satan-Winged Pirate Guild will attack us again, and what will we do to protect ourselves? ”

As soon as the pirate leader finished speaking, the other eight pirate leaders nodded their heads one after another, claiming yes.

At this time, Zongda said disapprerovingly: "Everyone, your minds are too simple, aren't they? Today is February 26th, and the attack of the Satanic Wings Pirate Guild is March 16th, and there are 18 days in between. Who's to say we have to sit stupidly and wait for the other side to attack? Can't we break their plans of attack before they attack? The combat quality and mobility of the Black Angel Army, you are not unseen. If the Black Angel Army really went all out, eighteen days would be more than enough. ”

Hearing Zongda say this, the faces of those pirates became a little lively again.

However, everyone didn't expect it, but at this time, Tuo Lao suddenly said: "Of course, what Commander-in-Chief Zongda said is a method, but this time, our Black Angel Army will not adopt such a tactic. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes refocused on To's face.

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, including Zunda and Benz.

"The main purpose of convening this meeting today is to discuss your preparations for the war, not to make arrangements for the war. As for mobilization, my request to you is very simple, except for the four formations under the commander-in-chief of Zongda, you only need to send out fourteen more formations. Please be sure to have your fleet ready within a week and secretly sail to an abandoned planet that we have prepared to assemble. ”

At this point, he stood up and said that the meeting was over.

Benz hurriedly chased after him, "Why is it different from the previous discussion?" Does the president of yours know about this decision? ”

"No......" held up a memory card to Benz, "This is an email from Merce five minutes before the meeting. ”
