Before leaving, Song Tao convened a meeting of the responsible persons of the fleet headquarters, the captains of the ships, and the Fleet Civilian Affairs Committee. Everyone set up a table on the beach and sat together to be the venue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the ships of the fleet have been repaired, I just want to discuss the next step with you. The white skins of several European countries should be gathering together and preparing to deal with our Far East. We were scheduled to repair the ship and immediately return to the East to report the situation to the company. But it's already May, and even if we fly back, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up. We haven't rounded the Cape of Good Hope yet, and the white-skinned ship is estimated to have entered Malacca.

As soon as we went to sea from Le Flaire, we were attacked one after another. was beaten by those white skins in the English Channel, rushed out with a blue nose and swollen face, and was forced to cross the Atlantic Ocean and experienced a super storm. We also lost one ship, the first warship of our Far Eastern Navy since its founding. I don't know what you think, anyway, I'm aggrieved, if I just pat my ass and leave, I'll have to suffocate to death for the rest of my life. ”

His words stunned everyone, Lao Song wanted to get a handful and then leave.

Li Shaojie thought for a while and said, "Commander, do you have any ideas?" Although the others didn't speak, they all looked at Song Tao suspiciously. I'd like to hear what he thinks.

Song Tao looked at everyone's eyes and said with a smile: "This is just my personal idea, if everyone doesn't agree, we will immediately pat our butts and go back to the East." After all, our fleet is a collective, and I cannot decide the fate of the fleet by my own will alone. ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone did not speak, so he continued: "My plan is that we will fight back to Europe, and now they must think that our fleet has returned to the East, if we disguise ourselves as European merchant ships and raid their important targets, we should be able to achieve great results." ”

Ding Xinghao smiled and said, "Old Song." If we go to Europe for a walk, then our strength is a little weak. ”

Song Tao asked people to take out a huge map of Britain and hang it in front of everyone. Then he took a stick and pointed to a seaport city in the south of England and said, "We have few ships." But it is also better to be concealed, so that the suddenness of the tactic can be achieved. My goal was to attack Portsmouth, an important town in southern England. There is the Royal Navy base, which is also the Royal Shipyard. In the Opium War, the British fleet set off from there. If it is ruined there, it will definitely be a big blow to the British. ”

After listening to Song Tao's words, everyone did not react excessively.

Ding Xinghao next to him smiled: "Old Song, if you say so, we might as well go to London." A fire burned the girl. First take revenge on the Opium War, and then ask them to collect some interest. Anyway, it's a fight, and it's a hard fight. ”

Song Tao smiled bitterly: "Big brother, the terrain of London is not suitable for sneak attacks, and it is not as practical as Portsmouth." If we burn down the Royal Dockyard in Portsmouth, it will have a greater impact on the British navy. ”

Li Shaojie said suddenly: "Then let's just go to both places, not only to destroy the Royal Navy Base and Royal Shipyard in Portsmouth, but also to go to London to make a fuss, at least to create some panic." We didn't have to sail to London at all, and let Wang Xiaojie, Liu Handong and Zhang Yufei take a captured British ship. Landing on the coast of England, you don't tell me they have no way to get into London. ”

Wang Xiaojie next to him smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, didn't we bring a few paramotors." London is only a few dozen kilometers from the coast, and we are rich in flying a few times back and forth by paramotor. ”

Zhang Yufei also smiled and said: "It's really not good, a few of us drove the assault boat down the Thames River into London." Paralyzed, when we were in a hurry, we rode an off-road motorcycle into it, and it was a small meaning to go back and forth for dozens of kilometers. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard what they said. Song Tao nodded and said, "Let's study it carefully, this plan still has a lot of operability." Let the special operations team go to London to wreak havoc, and the fleet raids Portsmouth overnight. Jie and they finished their action and flew directly from London to Portsmouth to meet us. ”

Ding Xinghao said excitedly: "Are we going to the Netherlands to make trouble?" Paralyzing. I guess it's organized by the Dutch, because they have a direct conflict of interest with us in the South Seas. ”

Song Tao shook his head and said, "Don't go to the Netherlands." It is not suitable for us to act, and the scourge of the British is almost the same. ”

Li Shaojie also nodded and said, "If we attack the Netherlands." Except for Amsterdam, there are no other targets. But to surprise Amsterdam, you have to cross the narrow Strait of Dover, and you have to pass through the dangerously shallow waters of the Zuiderze, and the whole operation is bound to be uncertain. ”

Song Tao thought for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Although we can't go to the Netherlands, after we withdraw from the UK, we can also go to the coast of Portugal by the way, fight a few opponents, flash people, and then return to the East." ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Song Tao saw everyone's enthusiasm and voted by a show of hands. In fact, everyone was like him, holding a breath of fire in their hearts, so the result of the vote won the overwhelming majority of support.

After determining the next move, Song Tao began to give orders to the fleet to prepare for sailing, and various departments began to actively prepare. Song Tao worked out a detailed battle plan with Ding Xinghao, Li Shaojie and others.

The plan was divided into two parts, with the main force of the fleet raiding Portsmouth and destroying the Royal Naval Base and the Royal Shipyard there. The special combat team infiltrated London by paramotor to sabotage and harass. The entire project was to be completed in two days. If in this day and age, it is simply a myth that the average country wants to carry out such a plan. But for Song Tao and them, it's really nothing.

Two days later, the five sailing ships of the Ocean Exploration Fleet slowly sailed off the east coast of the Americas, along with the fleet of four captured British sailing merchant ships. Their cabins were filled with refined coal, which was used as fuel supply ships for the fleet.

The sailing ship that was destroyed in the superstorm was abandoned, but most of the supplies and equipment on board were transferred to other ships. The weapons and equipment were all attached to these four merchant ships. Each ship was armed with a naval version of a long-barreled 75-mm mountain gun and a water-cooled heavy machine gun.

When the fleet crossed the Atlantic, Ding Xinghao was locked up and confined by Song Tao. This order was supported by everyone in the fleet, and the mouth of this cargo was so bad that it would come as soon as it was said, and if it encountered another superstorm, the fleet would not have to attack, and would return directly.

I don't know if it's because of the crow's mouth Ding Xinghao being banned, or God saw that they went through hardships and had compassion. Anyway, the flight of more than ten days was calm and calm, and everyone couldn't believe it.

The fleet has had many disasters along the way since it left Le Frere, France, and now luck has finally returned. Everyone is also full of expectations for the next action. (To be continued)
