After a day and a night of sailing, Li Yong's Admiral arrived at the assembly site on time, in fact, their assembly is a small island in the sea, this island was accidentally discovered during their sea trials, the area is not large, but as a temporary dock, it is still good, so Li Yong set the assembly site here, Xishan and Huating two battleships have arrived yesterday, the two battleships are docked in the deep water area calmly like cradles, swaying with the waves, but because of the constraints of the iron anchor, they will not be carried away by the waves, The Admiral also slowly docked and then lowered the iron anchor, Li Yong and Liu Renliang and Zhao Dahai related people sat on the landing ship on the island, a simple camp tent was set up in the woods on the island, and the surrounding was guarded by dozens of marines, and the captains and first mates of Xishan and Huating saw Li Yong walk into the camp tent, and stood up and saluted him, Li Yong returned the salute casually.

"We don't have much time, let's just talk about how many pirate dens we've found."

The captain of Nishiyama reported first.

"Admiral, Commander, I've managed to track down a total of three pirate dens, and they've been marked on the charts."

Li Yong took the nautical chart and glanced at it, and the captain of Huating then reported.

"I can only track down two on my side, Admiral, Commander, please see."

Li Yong continued after taking a closer look at the two charts

"Tell me about how many pirate fleets you're tracking."

"I estimate that there are more than 100 ships here, and the specific number will be investigated in detail."

"I've got a little bit more on my side, almost two hundred, and the largest one has more than a hundred, and I guess it's the pirate gang of hellish ghosts."

"It's a big fish."

Liu Renliang listened to the pirate fleet with more than 100 ships, his eyes lit up, Li Yong was thinking about how to clean up these pirates at this time, because once one of them is attacked, one will accidentally let other pirates receive the news, and then they will run away, and it will be difficult to find them in the vast sea, he asked people to hang up the three charts, and then carefully looked at the distance between them, Liu Renliang's other captains and first mates also calculated, as a navy in the new era, their way of thinking is no longer the combat mode of those sailors in the imperial court, Because they are a new navy with new warships and weapons and equipment, they will naturally know how to think better, Li Yong took a ruler and a compass and calculated on the chart, Xishan and Huating tracked the distance between the five pirate dens is very far apart, and the risk of leaking the wind is small, but the poisonous peony pirate den he tracked here is very close to the lair of the hellish devils, and if one is not careful, it will leak the news, and it is easy to be attacked by them before and after, although he is very confident in his battleship, but he doesn't want to take such a big risk, His current three warships are but it took him a lot of effort and money, how to fight, first hit that and then that, you have to come up with a reasonable planning route, everyone saw this problem, and they all began to discuss, some said to fight those little pirates first, some said to fight the hellish demons first, and some said to fight the poisonous peony first, the reasons are very good, and no one is convinced.

"Everyone, please see, everyone has also calculated the distance of these pirate dens in their hearts, if we hit the gang that will be tracked first, we may face being attacked from front to back, but if we fight the hellish demons, the result will be the same, but the risk of leaking the wind is greater, I suggest cleaning up the small ones first, first small and then large, and destroy as many as possible."

"Captain Wu, I don't agree, although there are only three ships in our combined fleet, but our warships and weapons and equipment are unmatched by these pirates, your way of playing is right, but have you thought about it, even if these little pirates run away, the harm will not be too great, we can slowly clean up in the future, but these big pirates can't let go, these big pirates are many people, so I suggest that you clean up the hell demon first, and then push over to clean up the one closest to him, and then push it back, which is better."

"No, two captains, your idea is good, but have you thought about the continuous operation of our combat troops? After hitting the big ones and beating the small ones, do we still have so much energy? So I still suggest that we fight the one below the hell demon first, it is not very difficult, and the consumption of the combat troops will not be very large, so that we have the energy to clean up the biggest one, otherwise, our energy will be spent on the big head, and the small ones in the back, so there is still energy to continue? ”

Li Yong frowned and looked at the charts, listening to the captains under his command give various opinions and questions, Liu Renliang didn't speak, after listening for a while, he pressed his hands and quieted everyone down, only to find that Li Yong had not looked back, but kept looking at the charts, and they were immediately silent, because they all knew that it was up to Li Yong to decide at this time, of course Li Yong knew that what they said made sense, and the questions raised were also real, in the final analysis, they only had three boats, too little, It is impossible to do battlefield shelter, naval warfare is not used for land warfare, because the means of transportation for land warfare are mainly human legs and horses, physical strength is limited, and you can't run away if you want to, but naval warfare is different, the sea breeze is all the time, as long as there is wind, there is no problem to escape to the ends of the earth, and the environment at sea is also extremely bad, especially in the deep sea area where they are located, don't look at the calm now, maybe wait for the storm to come, especially in summer and autumn, hurricanes are frequent, and a careless ship will be destroyed and people die, Even the steel giants of later generations will be overturned, and the windless and three-foot waves are the surface of the deep sea, so this is why naval battles are more difficult than land battles, Li Yong closed his eyes and calculated carefully, and finally made a decision.

"I support fighting the one below the hell demon pirates first, but we have to fight them quickly, so that the hell demons have no time to react, and after packing them up, all the loot and ships are not put down, we will travel lightly, and then lightning will raid the hell demons, and finally clean up the small ones, you see, those small ones are very far away, and we have time to rest all the way, so we now order, all personnel, to set off immediately, to reach the first destination, to find out all the hydrological conditions of that island and the deployment of the island, We attacked in the middle of the night, the fleet fire covered the pirate camp, so that they could not drive a single ship, the marines were ready to land on the beach, whether we could blitz the hell demon and the big pirate, it depends on whether we can lock these pirates in the bay. ”

After listening to Li Yong's order, everyone counted and saluted one after another.

"Yes."

All the captains and first mates began to pack their things, and then returned to their ships on the landing boat, while Li Yong and Liu Renliang walked on the soft sand, and they kept walking without saying a word.

"Do you want to ask me why I'm taking such a big risk?"

Liu Renliang still didn't speak, and Li Yong didn't seem to care, and said to himself.

"I know you have doubts in your heart, and so do those captains and mates, but I think you, as the commander of the navy, must understand when to do something, as well as as as the commander of an army, the responsibility and responsibility to bear, we can't do anything by gambling, this is the most outrageous mentality, it should be said that it is a pathology, what we have to do is to calculate accurately, plan carefully, minimize the risk, blood is a good thing, too much blood becomes a bad thing, we are soldiers, soldiers are pure, it is our responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, I don't want you all to become a bunch of soldiers who know that they love war, you know? ”

After Li Yong finished speaking, he boarded the landing ship, Liu Renliang recalled the words of Li Yong and him, and followed the landing ship in a daze, he thought about Li Yong's words, and Li Yong said these words to him, because he found that the belligerence of the navy was too strong, from the time they were preparing for the first stage, he found that the previous black army was also like this, but after life and death, the black army degenerated, and now it is the turn of the navy, the warlike soldiers are a good thing but also a bad thing, and that's how the war maniacs of the Nazis came, Therefore, Li Yong wanted to wake up Liu Renliang, because the scale of the fleet will become larger and larger in the future, and Liu Renliang, as the commander of the fleet, must always keep a will that is calmer than others. The three battleships pulled up the iron anchor and lowered the sails, slowly turned, under the guidance of the navigator, formed a formation to break the waves towards the first target, the three battleships were like sharp knives on the sea speed, a day and a night later came to the first target, the three battleships found a small island to hide, several small boats began to explore the hydrological situation of this sea area under the cover of night, after a busy night, the hydrological conditions of this sea area and other relevant information were placed in front of Li Yong one by one.

"The hydrological conditions here are still relatively complicated, no wonder such pirates choose this place as their lair, Zheng Dahai, can your technology lead the fleet to launch a surprise attack?"

Li Yong looked at these summarized situations and asked.

"It's very challenging, but it's still a piece of cake for me, Admiral, commander, don't worry, you can ensure that the task is completed."

Zheng Dahai patted his chest and replied after reading the chart, and then the three of them began to calculate on the chart seriously, and the navigator also continued to draw the mark on the chart according to their requirements, and after some calculations, he finally completed the most perfect navigation route on the chart, after a busy night, the sun came out, after Li Yong left the vigilant personnel, let the other personnel start to rest, preparing for tonight's night attack, he also stretched his waist and returned to the cabin to rest, because he had not had a good rest for more than ten days, When they were on land, they constantly arranged the defense line, improved the defense of the Huating defense line and the follow-up attack battle plan, and then set sail non-stop to chase these pirates all over the sea, but all this effort was worth it, pirates should not have appeared in the first place, they knew that looting, destruction, and damage were tumors for any country, of course, in this era, it seems to be normal, but in Li Yong's heart, you are no problem to be a pirate, but you must be a pirate with a conscience, You can beg for a living at sea, but you must not rob your own country, let alone hurt your compatriots, not to mention that these pirates have seriously broken through Li Yong's bottom line, especially their hands have reached his territory, so he must cut off these hands, these dare to destroy the places he worked so hard to build, all of them will be cut off without leaving behind, tonight is the end of these pirates, he will uproot them one by one, Li Yong slowly closed his tired eyes, his thoughts began to stop, he wanted to have a good rest, Get the best sleep for your brain and body, and then he and his fleet will start a great war, a battle of naval blood and fire, a battle of honor belonging to the navy, and the end of the pirates of this sea.
