The three big guys from the physics department have all gone to the capital. The tiger is not at home, and the monkey is the king.
Li Zhen ordered the troops and said: "Let's set up a security team. I will be the captain. Do you have any objections?"
"No comment!"
"That must be okay."
"If Master Li becomes the captain, then these pirates will be doomed."
“…”
"Xiao Shengnai, captain of the investigation team."
Xiao Shengnai asked in confusion: "Investigation team? What are you investigating?"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure that you can win a hundred battles. We at least need to know when the pirates will come. You can lead the fishermen and some students from Dafengtai to take charge of this matter. The main thing is to monitor Haize's movements."
Xiao Shengnai nodded: "Okay. Then I promise that any trouble will be reported urgently."
"Ruan Mingxue, you should be the captain of the sea guard. Stick to the first line of defense, mainly to stop the pirates at sea and cause them some losses. Then retreat."
"Okay. That's no problem." As he said that, a flash of light flashed in Ruan Mingxue's eyes: "As for the sea... Will the steamship we have always imagined come in handy?"
Li Zhen added: "Lin Guofu, you should be the captain of the shore guard. Setting up a defense line on the entire shore where you can land is the last layer of defense. The requirement is that no one can come in and no one can leave. .”
"Hahaha, no problem. No problem."
Lin Guofu smiled brightly.
"Okay, let's get to work. Set up the security line as soon as possible. I have a hunch that the Sea Wolf Gang is going to do something big."
As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, someone outside sent a message: "Master Li, Yanagisawa is here."
"Let him in."
A moment later, the panting Yanagisawa Hui ran in, looking a little panicked: "Li Zhen, Li Zhen, something serious has happened."
Li Zhen asked: "What happened?"
Yanagisawa Kei said in a trembling voice: "Late last night. The Sea Wolf Gang landed to fight. There were more people than we thought. About three thousand people landed directly from Rizhao County in small boats. The naval garrison in Rizhao County did not have any troops at all. The navy's warships can't hit the scattered small boats at all. They don't have the maneuverability of those small boats. The Sea Wolf Gang's landing line is two kilometers long, which is too spread out. They will kill people as soon as they land ashore, and kill everyone they see. .”
"Then what?"
Yanagisawa Megumi added: "As soon as those pirates landed ashore, they directly used bombs to blow up all the docking ports in Rizhao County. In order to stop the pirates, the navy of Rizhao County all boarded warships at sea. The ports were bombed, and the warships were There was no way to enter the port. This slowed down the regular army of Rizhao County. The navy men had no choice but to jump off the ship and swim ashore. By the time they swam ashore, they were so exhausted that half of their lives were gone. By that time, all the pirates had disappeared. They can’t even catch up.”
"When all the navy went ashore to search for pirates, they discovered that the navy garrison barracks in Rizhao County were in a mess, with corpses everywhere. Officers and soldiers, government officials, and scattered navy troops stationed in the barracks. They were all dead. Then it was discovered that the armaments depot of the Rizhao Navy garrison barracks had been emptied. All firearms, weapons, equipment, military pay, and food had all been emptied."
"This is a long-planned action by the Sea Wolf Gang. They have already sent a large number of people to the shore to lurk for a long time. As soon as the pirate generals who landed emptied their warehouses, carriages from all directions in the city came and they were all loaded directly. Then, the garrison in Rizhao County chased the pirates frantically. But they had no idea where they were going. All the pirates scattered and ran away to cover the carriages transporting supplies, which made the garrison dizzy. "
"Early this morning, all the scattered pirates suddenly gathered in Lianyungang. There were people in Lianyungang who had been lurking for a long time, and the pirates transporting the robbery materials had not yet arrived. The military camp stationed in Lianyungang was directly bombed, and bombs were flying all over the sky. Entering the military camp, 80% of the garrison died in their sleep. Suddenly, dense numbers of pirates appeared from the entire Lianyungang, killing everyone they saw. Almost all the navy in Lianyungang was wiped out, and those pirates went up The boats that had been prepared long ago took to the sea and escaped.”
"While escaping, they also ransacked all the armaments depot in Lianyungang. They also robbed more than ten warships of the Lianyungang Navy. The whole process was airtight and had been planned for a long time. It was terrible. Overnight, Rizhao County and Lianyungang have all been scrapped. Now they have already gone to sea and cannot be found."
“…”
After saying this, Li Zhen and others were shocked and speechless.
Is this a pirate
A long-planned plan.
When the pirates landed, everyone in Rizhao County thought it was a surprise attack, and all naval forces were ordered to leave the mountain. However, many internal agents emerged in the city, which directly bombed the port, and the ships that the navy went out to intercept couldn't even get ashore. The garrison on the shore was guarding the pirates who landed, but they never expected that so many pirates would appear behind them, killing them all.
Arms depots and supplies were looted. The garrison gave chase while the pirates scattered. The government thought that the pirates were headless flies with nowhere to go, and no one could tell what their specific thoughts were.
But in the early morning, something happened in Lianyungang. It was also an ambush and a premeditated plan.
The pirates gather directly here...
Airtight plan.
There was absolute silence in the field, and everyone realized that they seemed to have underestimated the Sea Wolf Gang. Anyone who could come up with such a plan was a military genius.
Being able to control pirates who are clearly just like a mob, to carry out such disciplined collective actions. This gang doesn't look like a gang at all, it looks like a well-disciplined army group.
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Where did they get the bomb?"
Yanagisawa said with a bitter face: "I don't know. Rizhao County and Lianyungang are all scrapped. Will it be our Laoshan County's turn next?"
Li Zhen quickly brought the map, looked at it for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Move, take action. Immediately set up defense lines and guard against death. Not only to prevent pirates from landing, but also to prevent pirates from penetrating into Laoshan County. The inside should be coordinated with the outside."
'Wow!' Everyone left and hurried out. As soon as they came out, everyone in Gale Tower immediately began to gather together, take joint actions, and immediately launch a defensive plan.
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the next place where the pirates will land is Laoshan. There is a 70% probability."
"Why!" Yanagisawa exclaimed, his face turned pale with fright. If Laoshan is looted, the black gauze hat will never be saved.
Li Zhen murmured: "It's a matter of probability. I don't think this Sea Wolf Gang is after money at all. They have a well-planned plan to rob the arms depot..."
Yanagisawa sighed: "I'm going to mobilize the imperial army and get ready. By the way, the data you want will be given to you in two days."
"Um."
After Yanagisawa left, Li Zhen fell into deep thought.
He suddenly discovered a very realistic factor: the pirates who robbed the arms depot were not after money at all. It should be to develop an absolute hegemonic force, right
Are the arms depots in the two ports enough? not enough.
Thinking of the recent reputation of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, the chances of budgeting are getting higher and higher.
If I were a wise leader, the next place I wanted to loot would definitely be Laoshan. They don't rob things, they mainly rob people.
So many people in foreign countries are poaching the staff of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. As an organization with ambitions to grow bigger, there is no reason why it does not need talents.
In fact, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is full of talented people...
"Oh, I have a headache."
Li Zhen sighed: "Who is supporting the Sea Wolf Gang? What is the purpose?"
“…”
Everyone in the Kyushu Academy of Sciences became nervous, and everyone in Laoshan was also scared.
The Gale Tower was completely closed because of the possibility of pirate infiltration, and the protective measures were strictly confidential. The Kyushu Academy of Sciences mobilized officials to seal off the entire Gale Tower, and no one was allowed to enter the Gale Tower.
But in the strong wind, everything was in full swing. The well-informed villagers all participated in this security activity.
"Everyone came with me to process that batch of wood. All the propellers installed on the iron-clad ships must be precise."
"Master Wang, take a group of people to produce parts. The steam turbines must be produced in batches."
"Alternating current, use the alternating current from the gale tower first. We need electrical protection."
“…”
The next day, the leader of the Laoshan garrison found Li Zhen and said with a wry smile: "Can our people participate in your plan?"
Li Zhen asked: "What do you mean?"
"Navy, we need the kind of steamships you mentioned. Rizhao County has learned from the past. Big ships simply won't work. We need those kind of iron-clad ships. Iron-clad ships powered by steam turbines."
“…”
As a result, the garrison in Laoshan County also entered the gale tower and began to urgently manufacture weapons for defense.
The steamer-armored ship with deep draft, fast action and strong maneuverability was brought into play at this moment.
The Kyushu Academy of Sciences had only proposed an idea before, but now it has immediately entered into urgent finished product testing and mass manufacturing.
That day, people from the army came to Li Zhen from all coastal areas.
Same purpose, ironclad ship!
An ironclad ship powered by a steam turbine.
Tens of thousands of people poured into Gale Tower in an instant, all of them regular soldiers. A few days later, the entire Dafengtai factory was everywhere, all of which were built urgently by military camps from various places.
There is only one purpose, to build ironclad ships.
