Kyushu Academy of Sciences.
Yanagisawa found Li Zhen and sighed bitterly: "Pirates have become rampant again recently, and many fishermen have been kidnapped throughout Qingdao County. This has never happened in history. Only pirates rob merchant ships. I have never heard of it." They rob fishermen. And they don’t rob money, they only rob people.”
Li Zhen was a little stunned: "Only Qingdao County?"
"Definitely not. Fishermen have been kidnapped throughout Qingdao County. In fact, such things have happened in the entire Dongzhou, Beizhou, Southeast Prefecture, and along the coast. It is a gang called the Sea Wolf Gang. This gang has never been seen before. I heard that the garrison barracks have not registered, and the government offices in various states, counties and counties have not registered either. It should be an emerging gang."
Li Zhen exclaimed: "So powerful? A new gang can span the coasts of three states?"
Yanagisawa sighed: "Yes. And they only rob people, not money. I don't know what their source of income is. They robbed so many people. No matter how many merchant ships you rob, you can't make up for the consumption. This sea I feel like the Wolf Gang wants to grow bigger and become the overlord of the sea.”
Li Zhen was silent for a moment: "A lot of people were robbed in Dafengtai?"
"Yes. More than 60 people who went to sea in Dafengtai yesterday were unaccounted for and disappeared. They must have been kidnapped. The navy garrison in Laoshan went to sea to patrol, but found nothing. Now we don't know what the Sea Wolf Gang is. What they want to do, I don’t know what the purpose of the Sea Wolf Gang is, I don’t know the specific situation of the Sea Wolf Gang, I don’t know anything.”
Li Zhen was very surprised: "Why are you telling me these things?"
Yanagisawa Megumi's expression became serious: "I'm very worried that the Sea Wolf Gang will land to fight."
"Landing operation?" Li Zhen was really shocked. Are pirates so brave? There are Kyushu naval forces everywhere along the coast, how dare they land to fight
"You don't understand. Landing operations are much more cost-effective than sea operations. Because the coast is basically full of naval forces who are good at naval warfare. Pirates cannot compete with the navy at sea. A few cannonballs can destroy a whole group of seamen. A gang of thieves. But landing is different. The land area is too large. Once the pirates disperse, it will cause a devastating blow to the entire coastal area. They will use the cover of ordinary people's homes and use dangerous terrain to cover up."
"Has there been any history of pirates landing in Dongzhou?"
"Why not? Decades ago, the pirate gang, which was mainly composed of refugees from Yamato and White Robe Kingdom, only had a few hundred people landing on Xiaofengtai. It was divided into two groups. One wave continued to move closer to the inland and burned They killed and looted, and a wave of people took charge of the response and continued to transport the looted materials out to sea. Before I knew it in one night, half of the government offices in Laoshan County were slaughtered, my previous county magistrate was killed, and the pirates destroyed Laoshan County. All the county offices were occupied. It was simply a disaster. Fortunately, the navy from Qingdao County arrived quickly, so it did not cause a catastrophe."
Yanagisawa said with fear: "Pirate landing operations cost less than plundering at sea. The harvest is greater. It is high risk and high reward. There are inevitably some people who take risks. And I think this Sea Wolf Gang has this ability. Yes. I'm looking for you for two things. One is to ask you if there is any way to fight against the Sea Wolf Gang. The other is to suggest whether the Kyushu Academy of Sciences can be moved to a place with tight defense. It would be good to be next to the military camp of the Laoshan garrison. . You are the most important people, so you can’t make any mistakes. Take precautions before they happen.”
Li Zhen was stunned. Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't expect that the pirate could be so arrogant. Li Zhen couldn't help but become solemn, stood up, walked around for a while, and said, "Uncle Liu, please do something for me."
"What happened? Please explain."
"Use the power of the government to calculate how many people have disappeared in Dongzhou, Beizhou, Southeast, and the coastal areas during this period?"
"Why are you counting this? This... is a bit difficult. I'm just a county guard."
There was a hint of vigilance in Li Zhen's eyes: "I need to know what they are going to do and what their purpose is."
Yanagisawa Kei exclaimed: "You can tell by counting the number of people?"
Li Zhen nodded: "The people at the Institute of Statistics have a way. I want all the relevant detailed information, the more detailed the better."
"Okay, then I will try my best to do it. By the way, the migration..."
Li Zhen sneered: "Relocation? Do you think the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is a group of weak scholars? Even if Laoshan is destroyed, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences will never make any mistakes."
Yanagisawa asked in surprise: "Why? You have no weapons and no security measures..."
"You can go with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about our safety. At the same time, you don't have to worry about the safety of the gale tower. We will help you protect the gale tower by the way."
Yanagisawa left doubtfully. He believed Li Zhen's words in his heart, but intellectually he couldn't figure out where he had such confidence. This is a very vicious pirate...
As soon as Yanagisawa Megumi left, Li Zhen immediately summoned all the key personnel of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences for a meeting and told everything that Yanagisawa Megumi had just said.
Lin Xiufeng frowned and said, "Oh, judging from my experience. Is there some powerful support behind the Sea Wolf Gang?"
Xiao Shengnai touched his nose and said with a sneer: "Which pirate force can do this across three states and plundering people along the coast? There must be support from a big force behind this. I wonder if Yamato is secretly supporting it. At least it Only the Yamato Country and the White Robe Country can support the pirate operations of such a large team."
The two started together, and the place fell into a heated discussion.
Li Zhen remained silent.
In fact, when Yanagisawa told him about the Sea Wolf Gang, Li Zhen immediately recalled the horse thieves and official bandits in Yanziji back then.
As Yanagisawa Kei talked about traveling across three states, Li Zhen was basically convinced that this was not an organization that one person could set up in a short time. Too huge. Without the support of capital and power, it cannot get up at all.
There is a conspiracy behind this.
Li Zhen was so sure. Compared with Yanziji in Jiahe County, Yanziji's horse thieves' methods were too immature. The pirates of the Sea Wolf Gang are extremely intelligent and sophisticated. One is immature and the other is mature, but they all have one thing in common, which is the shadow of power.
After the discussion was over, Li Zhen said with a calm expression: "What Jinghong's father said makes sense, and we should nip it in the bud. I just calculated the cost of the Sea Wolf Gang's crime and got an astonishing fact. They landed to fight." If so, the cost is lower than fighting at sea, much lower. And according to probability theory, there is a 50% chance that they will land from a large or small typhoon platform."
Everyone fell silent and looked at Li Zhen quietly. No one was timid, and everyone showed a look of excitement.
Li Zhen continued: "Arrange protective measures. Not to mention being able to go to sea to attack the Sea Wolf Gang, at least ensure that as long as the Sea Wolf Gang dares to land from Laoshan, there will be no return. Can you do it?"
"It can be done!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"That must be possible."
"Hahaha."
"It's good to let them know the power of science."
"One thing to say, let alone pirates, even if the country goes to war, I can guarantee that regular troops will not dare to land from Laoshan."
"So excited. I can finally use my knowledge to kill people."
