Chapter 481: Clearing the Pirate Gathering Point
The pirates are not stupid, with their combat power can only deal with patrols, compared to the main fleet, they have no chance of winning.
The main fleets of various countries searched continuously for a month, and in the end they could only return in vain. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, governments can only strengthen the defense of transit points.
A week after the withdrawal of the main fleet, the pirates reappeared. This time they were more aggressive, attacking directly to increase the staging post of the defense.
As a result, the transfer station was looted again, and dozens of transfer stations in a row.
Before the pirates disappeared, the people thought that the pirates were afraid, and they did not dare to confront the main fleet. Now it seems that this is not the case, and the pirates have found a hidden place to put things in order.
This time the warships they came were not as different as before, this time the warships were very unified, all of them were of the same type.
According to the information, these warships are all newly manufactured. The firepower of the battleship is very strong, the maneuverability is very high, especially the main guns of the battleship have a very long range, and the defensive guns of the transit station cannot hit at all.
At this rate, these pirates will be able to compete with the main fleets of small and medium-sized forces.
According to normal laws, it is impossible for pirate organizations to build warships, which means that there are people behind them to help them, which is also the unanimous opinion of the heads of state.
Now the pirate organization will not confront the main fleet head-on, and the heads of state can only send people to attack them.
But now there is no information about these pirates, and there is no way to start at all, so in the end they can only let the reconnaissance team pretend to be a merchant ship and find an opportunity to infiltrate the pirate ship.
In this way, many of these small caravans were sent. But for some reason, the pirates just weren't fooled and shot down these fake caravans.
They would rather salvage wreckage in space than give scouts a chance to board their warship. Through this incident, the heads of state are even more sure that there are forces behind the pirates who are secretly helping.
If you want to catch the pirate organization, you must first strengthen the secrecy work, and at the same time clean up the domestic spies, otherwise all actions will be mastered by the pirates.
All of a sudden, governments around the world launched a large-scale manhunt in their homes. However, the manhunt was carried out in secret, and the candidates were all elites selected from the military department at the top of the country, and then led by the minister of national security himself.
After a month-long search, the Ministry of State Security captured hundreds of spies. These spies are all rigorously and brutally trained, and they simply don't get what they want out of their mouths.
Without any clues, the Ministry of State Security had no choice but to hold them all in secret prisons and wait for interrogation at a later date.
At least if these spies are cleared, it will not be easy to leak the operational information of the main fleet. A week later, the Combined Fleet moved again, and they struggled to find a pirate settlement.
Because a large number of spies were purged, so that the pirates could not get the information in the first place, so this joint operation was very successful, and the gathering point was annihilated in one fell swoop.
Interrogating spies is not easy, but these pirates don't have such a hard backbone. Especially those little minions, they just eat with their mouths, and they will be all recruited with a little torture.
It's just that the status of these little minions is too low, and they can't get clues of much value from their mouths. However, it was not for nothing, at least the coordinates of several other convergence points were known.
Before the pirates could react, the Combined Fleet set sail and flew towards the gathering points. In less than a week, the Combined Fleet destroyed four or five more pirate settlements.
This time, the combined fleet not only eliminated some pirates, but also recovered a large amount of supplies. The pirate organization suffered heavy losses this time, and the pirate leader immediately asked all the pirates in the gathering area to move.
Now that the intelligence network is broken, and the pirate leader does not know the whereabouts of the Combined Fleet, he takes the pirates away from the system.
The pirate leader was also very smart, and several of the points were cleared, and it was supposed that the captured people betrayed him. In order to prevent something like this from happening again, no one except his cronies knew the location of the other gathering points.
Now, if there is anything between each gathering point, all the cronies of the pirate leader are directly contacted, and as long as anyone below dares to approach the communication room, they will be killed directly.
There was also a major internal reorganization of the pirates, which made it impossible for the Combined Fleet to find their meeting point. Given a chance to recuperate, the pirate leader began to expand his army.
He recruited troops everywhere and recruited many small groups of pirates. In less than two months, his number of men doubled.
Because the intelligence network was broken, the pirate leader suffered heavy losses, so the pirate leader found the forces behind him and demanded some compensation.
The pirate leader is now more powerful, and he is emboldened, and he dares to speak out to the lion who supports him.
Although the upper echelons of that force were furious, they did not show it in front of the pirate leader. There is no way, he still has to use the power of the pirate leader to do things for himself, and now he can only swallow his anger.
At this time, in the depths of space, a flagship is floating there. There are also many frigates around the perimeter, cruising around the flagship.
In one of the secret rooms of the flagship, a tall man with an extraordinary temperament was sitting on the main seat in contemplation.
"Lord of the Kingdom! He's just a pawn, he's asking too much, why are you agreeing to him? A general asked.
"Humph! He's still a useful pawn, and for that grand plan, this material is nothing! ”
The Lord of the Kingdom snorted coldly.
"I don't care about these substances, I just can't get used to his attitude towards you!" The general said very angrily.
"Huh! If you want to do great things, you must be able to endure what ordinary people can't bear, otherwise you can't do anything! The lord sneered.
"Yes!"
The general bowed slightly and saluted the lord.
"You also understand the reason, but I also know that you are not convinced! But you don't have to worry, what I lost today, I will definitely let him return it tenfold tomorrow! ”
The corners of the lord's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of viciousness.
The pirate leader has grown his ranks and received a large amount of supplies from the lord, and he can now put his ranks in order.
For the next two months, the pirate organization was sluggish and never appeared, which made some of the bold caravans start moving again.
Some people take the lead and some people follow, and after successfully transporting goods a few times, those merchants become more emboldened, and they want to take the opportunity to take a little more goods.
With a fluke mentality, they often die miserably, and the pirate leader deliberately does not take action. He just told these businessmen to let their guard down, and then they were all gone.
"Huh! Little ones, when it's time to close the net, give me a little sharpness! The pirate leader said with a smile.
