Chapter 500: Luring the Enemy to Attack
As the most important armed force of the world government on the surface, the Navy has always adhered to the concept of "justice" to maintain world peace and order, and this is also the origin of the word "justice" behind the uniforms of naval commanders and colonels.
But justice is different in everyone's mind, and the scale of measuring justice is also different, so disputes originating from the concept of 'justice' also arise, but the overall top-down differences also affect the thinking and way of doing things of each branch and even the fleet to a certain extent.
"Drop anchor and drop sail! Stop the boat for inspection! ”
Taking advantage of the patrol opportunity, the naval warships stationed in the city once again slipped out of the windless patrol route without authorization, and carried out a 'patrol' on the great route.
"Have you found any traces of pirates along the way?"
When a naval lieutenant boarded the ship, he directed his sailors to rush into the wheelhouse of the merchant ship and rummage through the containers, while he asked the owner questions with a serious face.
"It didn't ...... With a righteous navy patrolling and escorting all the way, how could a mere pirate dare to be reckless on the great route? ”
The ship's owner smiled and nodded.
“…… I think you're connotating something? ”
The Lieutenant Commander's face was still as cold as ice.
"I'm not! I didn't! ”
When the owner of the ship heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hand again and again to explain: "I really admire the old man of the navy, and I ......"
"No one will speak out about their crimes!"
The Lieutenant Admiral interrupted the ship's owner's argument and said coldly: "But how can you know that you are really innocent without investigation!" ”
"I can prove myself!"
The owner of the ship immediately understood.
Say it earlier!
Isn't it just an investigation! What a big deal!
"It's hard for you navy lords to come out to investigate in broad daylight......
The owner of the ship nodded and bowed his waist as he took a small bag from his bosom and stuffed it into the lieutenant's hand.
The Navy's Lieutenant Commander's originally cold and hard face immediately softened a little.
Then he put the pouch into his sleeve, and at the same time weighed it silently, and then immediately the ice melted, and his face was full of spring,
As a general who has risen from the sea, he only needs to weigh it to know whether the subject of the investigation is at fault.
For example, at this time-
"Close!"
The Lieutenant Commander shouted very dryly at the sailors who were going through a strict 'inspection', then patted the owner on the shoulder and leaped back onto the battleship.
"Today's harvest is not bad......"
Back on top of the battleship, a group of junior lieutenants immediately gathered around with smiles on their faces.
"The old rule, divide into three or seven, and the colonel's part will be sent over together in the evening."
The Lieutenant Commander replied and returned to the cabin on his own.
According to the rules, it was the turn of the generals of the other ships to lead the team for 'boarding and inspection'.
"Justice ......"
After kicking the wheelhouse door open, the Lieutenant Commander walked into the cabin with a blank face and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed.
"Pirates spotted!"
Just as he closed his eyes, suddenly there was a rapid alarm in his ears!
"It's the Fog Hidden Pirates!"
Suddenly, the naval fleet was in chaos!
……
"Do you want to sink them?"
The Forward Fleet of the First Legion, which was about to reach the perimeter of the Advance City through the Great Passage, also spotted the temporarily anchored naval fleet, as well as the merchant ship that had hurriedly set sail and fled.
"This place actually met five warships......
The Uchiha Rumbu, who was in charge of the three cruisers of the forward fleet, was also a little surprised.
He also thought that he would have to go deep into the windless zone to advance into the city defense area to meet these opponents.
"Just leave one to go back and report the news, and sink the rest!"
Uchiha Rumbu said: "By the way, we can only use solid bullets, and we must control the firing speed so that they can't find out our true firepower!" ”
"Understood!"
The captain immediately saluted, and then began to give orders into the intercom.
"It's kind of interesting...... How dare you take the initiative to rush over! ”
Looking at the World Government Navy fleet that was rapidly paddling and killing his own side, Uchiha Rumbu felt a little ridiculous.
"Bang bang bang!"
The naval fleet was the first to fire! However, the shells fell into the sea only between the two sides.
"It's backward!"
Uchiha Rumbu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this.
"Boiler pressurization! Left full rudder! ”
Following the captain's order, the three cruisers drew a beautiful arc on the sea in unison, transforming the formation that was advancing in unison into a one-line battle line!
"Solid bullet filling!"
"Filled!"
The ninjas hurriedly replaced them with the old-fashioned solid bullets that they had brought out on purpose.
"Rumbus Conductor ......"
After receiving the reply from his subordinates, the captain's eyes fell on the Uchiha Rumbu, who was observing the World Government Navy.
"Flagship one-shot school shot!"
Uchiha Rumbu was also a little itchy, so he took over the command.
"Bang!"
With the roar of the main gun of the flagship under the seat, a solid bullet was fired towards the naval battleship!
"Near-missed!"
The caring captain immediately reported the target.
"Good!"
Uchiha Rumbu nodded with satisfaction: "All gun positions obey the order - one salvo!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
With a call from Uchiha Rumbu, the three cruisers opened fire in unison at the oncoming World Government Navy battleship!
……
"Stay out of the way!"
"Padper give me a boost!"
On top of the busy naval warship, the generals were nervously urging the sailors to speed up.
But the speed of the sail battleship is like that, even if the lower pulpers use their strength to eat, it is not much faster, not to mention that the edge of the windless belt is difficult to borrow through the sail, and the natural speed cannot avoid the well-aimed shells!
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The cruiser's shells hit the naval battleship, smashing deep pits and cracks into the hull.
"Huh!"
This is, the generals found out that it seems that the firepower of this 'fog hidden pirate' is not as fierce as described in the battle report!
A lieutenant boldly walked over to the red cannonball on the deck and poked it with his finger.
Then, despite the heat of the shell, he picked it up and looked at it for a while.
"It's an ordinary solid bullet!"
The lieutenant shouted excitedly!
Suddenly, the morale of the naval fleet went up all at once!
As long as it's not a special cannon that can sink a battleship with a few shells in a battle report, there's nothing to fear!
Moreover, according to the existing intelligence analysis, as long as you rush up and jump into the gang to fight, there is a good chance to kill this group of pirates!
If only three battleships could be captured at once......
The colonel of the fleet looked through the telescope at the cruiser advancing in the battle line, his eyes full of longing.
This is a feat that represents power and profit!
"Do you want to call for support?"
An uninteresting captain leaned over and asked.
"Are you still afraid of pirates?"
The admiral immediately scolded: "You are a righteous navy!" Valiant navy! How can you operate a ship if you are so weak! ”
"Shame on you!"
Then, the Colonel kicked the captain into the air and personally ordered: "Full speed ahead!" Rush me! ”
……
"How brave!"
On top of the flagship of the First Legion's vanguard fleet, Uchiha Rumbu couldn't help but feel the urge for appreciation: "If only all the navies were so brave!" ”
"It is indeed an opponent that can be met but not sought!"
The captain also watched the movement of the navy through the lookout glass.
"Reload complete!"
The sound of the fireman's report was heard again in the intercom.
"Salvo again!"
Uchiha Rumbu ordered, "Next, replace the chain bomb!" ”
"Boom, boom!"
The cruiser's main guns roared again, and this time the aiming was noticeably improved, and most of them hit the charging naval battleship.
“…… Well, maybe it's been a long time since you've used this method of direct launch, so there's a bit of a problem with the quasi-head. ”
The captain explained with some embarrassment.
"It's not a big problem, so it's easy to disguise!"
The Uchiha Rumbu didn't care too much, after all, he forbade the use of overly advanced shipboard equipment in order to lure the enemy.
Moreover, it is not bad that the solid bullet plus direct aim design can have such a hit rate.
"Chainbomb launch!!"
Uchiha Rumbu ordered again: "The boiler unit accelerates, continue to pull away!" ”
As the whistle sounded in unison, the three cruisers that formed the battle line quickly sailed forward under the watchful eyes of the World Government Navy, and staggered their positions with the naval warships rushing head-on.
"This ......"
The amazing speed also made the admiral break out in a cold sweat!
Although I don't know why, the 'Fog Hidden Pirate Ship' in front of him didn't use the high-powered cannonballs in the battle report, but the speed that just erupted was not something that the battleships under his command could catch up.
Moreover, although the naval warships stationed in the propulsion city are generally loaded with paddle turbine crews that can sail without wind and slurry, they are basically used as auxiliary power, and they cannot reach such a large thrust at all!
As the cruiser continued to bombard, the colonel's utilitarian spirit gradually converged, and he began to try his best to command the five warships under his command to try to outflank the cruiser.
It's just that although solid bullets can't sink the navy's warships, chain bullets can break the mast, so that the navy warships basically lose the ability to pursue.
And for the Navy, there is nothing more aggrieved than this situation!
"We're the Navy!"
The colonel's stomach was full of resentment, his hands were bruised, and he smashed the telescope to pieces!
He's got this kind of gas there!
Except for the 'Fog Hidden Pirates' that came out of nowhere, how many of the garbage pirates in the park dare to show their teeth in front of the navy! Not to mention this kind of complete crushing game!
This is a battleship built by the world government with a lot of money!
How did it come to the point where you couldn't do anything about it? Where else in the world does it have such advanced shipbuilding technology?
There is no reason why someone would build such a battleship and the Navy would not know anything about it!
With the continuous bombardment of the cruiser's solid shells, except for one battleship, which was still in good condition, the other four battleships were already scarred, and even the oars that stretched out from the side were broken, basically losing power, and falling into the stage of being beaten.
This time, the Navy has completely entered an extremely embarrassing situation!
If you want to break away from the engagement, with the opponent's speed so much faster than your own, there is no chance to rely on a relatively intact battleship carrying everyone to carry out a 'tactical transfer'!
So, there's only one way to do it -
"Give me the phone bug!"
The admiral shouted angrily: "I will stay here and wait for the garrison fleet to come and clean them up together!" ”
When the admirals heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
- What they are most afraid of is that the boss continues to be stubborn and unwilling to ask for help.
"Missy-missi!"
After getting in touch with the command post of the Navy in Advance City through the phone bug, the Colonel's tone suddenly changed: "When the headquarters was chasing the pirates on the Great Voyage, it was accidentally ambushed by the Fog Hidden Pirates, and it is currently fighting hard, and I now request the command post for tactical guidance......"
The so-called hard struggle refers to the fact that it is about to be sunk; And the meaning of tactical guidance is that if you can't bear it, you should rush to support.
The other end of the phone bug was silent for a long time before a hoarse voice came out: "Are you sure it's the Fog Hidden Pirates?" ”
"Pretty sure!"
The Colonel wiped his sweat and said tremblingly: "There are three black iron-hulled ships, and the speed is very close to the description shown in the intelligence!" ”
"If it's the Fog Hidden Pirates' iron-hulled ship, how can you withstand it?"
Doubts came again from the other end of the phone bug.
The Colonel looked at the phone bug in his hand, a junk that did not have the function of transmitting pictures, and could only describe it through words: "They used solid shells, so they ......"
"Yes!"
The phone bug immediately came with an excited voice!
If the enemy encountered is as strong as the intelligence, the people on the phone bug's side are not going to waste their efforts in vain - anyway, there is a high probability that the battleships that ran over and were attacked were sunk and fed to the fish.
But if the strength of the 'Fog Hidden Pirates' is not that strong, it also means that there is a lot to be done!
Moreover, according to the report of the Navy Headquarters, it is very rare for the three admirals to jointly issue a demon slaying order to clean up the East China Sea! And the primary goal is the 'Fog Hidden Pirates'! If you can pick up a wave of battle exploits on the Great Route, you may not only be promoted, but also have a good chance of getting rid of the drudgery of garrisoning the Advance City and returning to the headquarters to enjoy Qingfu!
"Hold on! The headquarters immediately attacked with all the staff! ”
The other end of the phone bug came out with the words that the Captain wanted to hear the most at this time!
"Hoo ......"
After hanging up the communication of the phone bug, the Colonel first exhaled, and then nodded to the generals beside him.
The admirals also breathed a sigh of relief!
This kind of grievance that can't fight back after being knocked off the momentum is too uncomfortable!
However, fortunately, the iron-hulled ship of the 'Fog Hidden Pirates' may be because it doesn't have that kind of high-explosive bomb, otherwise everyone would have to go to the sea to feed the fish!
"Don't go crazy here! Get out of here and intercept the shells! ”
The colonel's face changed again, thinking that the change in the expressions of his subordinates was a mockery of himself, so he kicked and kicked while scolding!
