Yuan Fang didn't dare to take the risk for fear of committing public anger, so he would cooperate with the pirates in his own name, so that even if the news leaked, he would be able to take the blame alone, and the empire could push the blame clean, and even if other countries were dissatisfied, there would be no reason or excuse to do anything about the Eastern Saint Empire.

Cai Ning came to the conference hall and saluted Yuan Fang and a few people very politely, and then asked with the same expectation: "Lord Yuan, do you have any news?" ”

Yuan Fang's tone was a little unkind: "You are smart, you guessed it at once." ”

Cai Ning smiled and said, "That's what I'm worth, otherwise Lord Yuan wouldn't have come to me." ”

Yuan Fang really didn't like Cai Ning and his profession, so he gave Situ Muran a look, Situ Muran understood, and said coldly: "Cai Ning, now is the time for you to behave, according to the plan, you will return to the original place to live in the next few days, and the island will remain similar to before, I estimate that in a day or two, the Japanese will send someone to contact you, and you should know what to say and what not to say when the time comes, right?" ”

Cai Ning nodded again and again: "General Situ rest assured, I, Cai Ning, promise not to talk nonsense, and will definitely cooperate with all the adults, to be honest, I don't have a good impression of those widows, by the way, Lord Yuan, after the matter is completed?" ”

Yuan Fang said impatiently: "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you." ”

Then, Situ Muran patiently explained again the places that Cai Ning needed to pay attention to when meeting with the Japanese people, and then sent someone to send him back to his original residence, which was Yuan Fang's current residence.

Jieyue was instructed by Yuan Fang to rush back to pack her things first, and asked Yu Jingqiu and the others to move to a slightly farther place and change into civilian clothes, so as not to be noticed by the Japanese people. Ji Yu was ordered to pack up all the things related to the Air Force and load them on the airship to take away, and the first flight operation course of the cadets was also changed from flying around the island to the cruising flight training from the Long Roundabout to the Emerald Isle, and at the same time, they were also ordered to stay on the Emerald Island for the time being, and they were not allowed to come back without an order.

Ji Yu is just a technician, not a soldier, and he doesn't know how to fight, at the moment, he packed everything as quickly as possible, and the first batch of trainees were responsible for setting up airships and fog balloons to take off to the Emerald Island, and the rest of the trainees left by transport ship, and the island suddenly became much more deserted.

After Mu Xinya got the news, she also asked Tie Niu to start gathering people to prepare for war, Liusang came so many ships this time, it is not enough to rely on the navy's people and warships, even if they don't need to participate in the war, everything is handed over to the air force, but the navy also has their tasks, such as receiving prisoners, taking over the landing ships, etc., so Mu Xinya organized the residents of the island to help together, and there was not much danger anyway.

The atmosphere around Long Roundabout began to be tense on this day, with sailors dressed as pirate minions and loose and boring patrols on duty.

In the evening of the same day, the outpost sent back the news through the flying pigeon, the reconnaissance boat had arrived, and it was found that the Liusang fleet was monitoring from a distance, and the two fleets of the Liusang Empire had been separated, one hundred and twenty ships on the one way, sailing in the direction of Changhuandao according to the main channel, and the other fleet composed of eighty warships and transport ships was in the direction of the north, and from the direction, it was probably intended to attack the naval base on the coast of Pukou County, and its route was just passing through the Emerald Island.

The pilots of the reconnaissance boats are some of the best in the air force, they often carry out cruising missions during this time, and they have relatively rich flying experience, following the high-altitude surveillance behind the side of the Liusang fleet, the navy of the Liusang Empire does not notice anything, occasionally someone notices the small black dots in the sky, and only thinks it is some flying birds, they never thought that someone would be able to fly into the sky.

Time, in tension and anticipation, slowly passed a day, during this time, the outpost reconnaissance boat sent back one message after another, the two fleets of the Liusang Empire have always maintained their original routes, and a little more than a day will almost arrive in the area of Changhuandao.

At the same time, the scouts in charge of monitoring the slightly larger fleet sent back the news that three clippers had left the fleet and sailed in the direction of Long Roundabout, about half a day's way.

At ten o'clock in the morning, there is no wind or waves on the sea, and the sea is calm like a mirror, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, which seems more and more cold.

The dock sentry, who had already received the notice, took a telescope to observe the sea surface with the help of the moonlight, and three small black dots appeared in the southwest direction, and the sentry grinned and said: "Brothers, the Japanese are here, everyone is ready, don't miss the horse's feet later." ”

Another sentry grinned and said: "You said that the above is true, our air force is so powerful, even if it is a face-to-face fight, it will definitely win, why do you still have to play this hand, we still have to pretend to be pirates, to be honest, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, I feel very decadent to live." ”

The captain of the sentry smiled and scolded: "Don't be poor kid, you kid, if you don't want to, I can transfer you back to Pukou Military Port." ”

Hearing this, the sentry waved his hand again and again: "Forget it." ”

The sentry in charge of observation spoke, "Captain, it's almost over, do you want to ring the alarm bell?" ”

The captain looked through the telescope: "Wait, wait until they get close and knock, we have to leave them with a casual impression, so that they will not be suspicious." After a short wait, the three ships were already visible to the naked eye, and the captain of the sentry gave the order to ring the alarm.

A piercing alarm bell rang, the sentries on the dock lit torches, the originally dark island lit up with lights, and the warship of the Liusang Empire, the general led by him sneered and said: "Pirates are pirates, a group of unpopular things, we all found out when we got here." ”

Another guy dressed as a general echoed and said, "General Mu Ye is right, these pirates are just a bunch of miscellaneous fish, how can they be compared to the powerful navy of our Liusang Empire. In fact, our strength is already enough to wipe out the Eastern Saint Navy and occupy Nanzhou and more land, why do we need these pirates to participate? ”

Mu Ye shook his head slightly: "Under the tree, we can't underestimate anyone, although these pirates are unbearable, but they have their advantages, since the herb general will decide like this, then there must be his intentions, you and I should not speculate." ”

General Liusang, named under the tree, stood up and bowed his head when he heard this: "Yes, the general's lesson is that his subordinates should remember that they will not commit it again." ”

About five or six hundred meters from the harbor, Mu Ye ordered the ship to stop and prepare for battle.

Although they didn't see anything unusual, they were cautious and began to prepare for battle, just in case.

It didn't take long for two heavy warships to sail out of the bay of Long Roundabout, and the eyes of the navy of the Liusang country were full of contempt and disdain, looking at the untidy and panicked sailors on board. On the flagship of Long Roundabout, Cai Ning took a deep breath and looked a little nervous.
