One night's anchorage, very calm, maybe the location is better, maybe it's really lucky today, there was nothing to do all night, when the sun finally rose, maybe it was some kind of coincidence, the pirates and Yang Yuanzhao's fleet, almost at the same time, began to move, the pirates need to prepare more, to put all the ships in the right place, hidden, similar things, they have been doing it for 3 days in a row, for fear of missing this fleet, set off every morning, Entered the predetermined place to ambush, and at night, after 9 o'clock, returned in batches, and the cycle continued.

Hundreds of ships, leakage is definitely not leaked, but the pirate's heart is very big, tons of gold, in case it runs away, I'm afraid they will cry to death, how many years, have not encountered such a good thing, after this vote is completed, for most pirates, you can choose that money, go home to be a rich man, not every pirate is willing to enjoy the precarious days at sea, most of them are forced to helpless, especially from the end of the 18th century, even more so, pirates have completely declined, The escalating arms race at sea has left less and less room for pirates to develop naval weapons with each passing day.

In the history of later generations, from the end of the 18th century to the late 20th century, pirates were suppressed, until the end of the 20th century, because of asymmetry, the cost of encircling and suppressing pirates with high-speed warships is too high.

On the pirate side, they are busy driving the fleet out, and the ship group is also preparing, and everyone who belongs to Yang Yuanzhao's side knows that the tense naval battle is about to begin, and the Strait of Malacca is ahead, as long as you enter the strait, this heart must be raised.

The soldiers assigned to each peripheral ship are sitting calmly and preparing, these soldiers come from the reconnaissance battalion of the first division of the Nanyang, the first division of the Nanyang, is a military force formed under the expansion of the backbone of the northwest, the reconnaissance battalion, is the best of them, these personnel are carefully selected from the entire Southeast Asia of 2 million people, starting from the recruits for three months, after at least 4 investigations, before entering the reconnaissance battalion, in principle, there are no new recruits in the reconnaissance battalion, The least number of people trained in the army for 18 months, and the number of people who have undergone 3 years of military training can definitely be called powerful.

Strict training, so that even after the soldiers went to the battlefield, they became calm, in various positions on the deck, a large number of machine guns were placed, especially on the periphery of the ship regiment, the top of the front ship, each ship had at least 12 soldiers, about 20 twin machine guns, these machine guns, all made the necessary cover, can not be blatantly placed outside.

Like the ship regiment, the British army also knew that the movements of the pirate regiment had always been under their monitoring, and even the location where the pirates were preparing to attack, they also knew that some staff officers of the British army at that time also had a discussion on this position, and the final result was that the pirate position was good, not the best position in Malacca, but the easiest position to get, the area was more complicated, and the channel was not the narrowest, but it was gradually from wide to narrow.

The map in the command post of the British detachment clearly marked the location of the pirates and the place where the naval battle might take place, combined with the current speed of the ship, if nothing else, according to this speed, the battle must be today. Dozens of destroyers of various kinds were the biggest problem, and Colonel Helens, the captain of the British detachment who escorted the escort, was ready to find an opportunity to leave according to the orders of his superiors. When the regiment officially departed, a destroyer sailed directly to the flagship, and then about 9 o'clock in the morning, Colonel Helens boarded the ship.

The arrival of Colonel Helens more or less surprised Yang Yuanzhao, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable, Yang Yuanzhao did not stop him, and directly asked people to bring Helens in, and sure enough, Colonel Helens directly informed Yang Yuanzhao that because they received urgent military affairs from above, the 27 destroyers among them had to perform urgent tasks and needed to leave immediately.

In front of Yang Yuanzhao, Helens not only calmly recounted the decision, but also showed Yang Yuanzhao the message of the emergency telegram, looking at the telegram in Helens's hand, it was just translated by the telegrapher, and even if it was translated, I don't know, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but have a sneer in his heart, sure enough, you can't expect the British urine to improve much, it's almost an open fire with a cane, and the contract is signed, and an emergency order can be shirked.

As far as his heart is concerned, Yang Yuanzhao was even willing to smash this message on Helens's face, especially when Helens also pretended to say at this time, not all of them left, but only 27 ships. There are only 27 ships, 33 ships, 27 are gone, and only 6 are left, which is clearly to leave, and the few ships left behind are also for surveillance, and the most critical thing is that a few ships may be sunk, and when the time comes, this qiē may fall on the head of the northwest.

Yang Yuanzhao held back the strong thought in his heart, at this moment, it is inconvenient to tear his face head-on with the British, otherwise, with the British configuration, the East Asian Fleet will send a sub-fleet, which can make the northwest look good, and he must pretend to be reluctant to keep it as much as possible, but Helens insisted on leaving, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help it, looking at the more than 30 destroyers, there were only 6 left, plus 5 from Germany, and the current fleet of hundreds of people, only 11 battleships remained, There were also 6 British destroyers with evil intentions, and the ship group ushered in the most dangerous moment.

Helens left, and even promised, when he turned around, he would call part of the protection fee in advance directly to the northwest, and even said that he would give the full amount, looking at his fake face, Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that it was impossible, not to mention that he would be attacked by pirates, sink a few British destroyers, even if there is no at all, the British Navy is ready to rely on it.

China is still developing, and it is not at all an opponent of Britain, especially in the field of the navy, history is always written by the victors, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all the same.

The 27 destroyers still left, they were distributed in various places of the entire fleet, and even carried out a simple marshalling in order to concentrate together, as if Helens also carried out an operation from the defensive state to the marching state, which attracted everyone's attention.

It was such a big movement, many crew members were alarmed, including Fabian who was immersed in their own world, during these days, they encountered a lot of attacks, they were also very strange, didn't all countries start to control pirates, why are there so many pirates, is it that no one cares about Southeast Asia, there are almost 40 destroyers, they are very assured of their safety, but now, in the case that the threat of pirates has not been completely removed, The departure of the 27 British destroyers directly gave way to protection, and at this time, if a pirate came to attack, it would not be like entering a no-man's land, and the danger would be greatly increased.

Just when Yang Yuanzhao came down, Fabian asked Yang Yuanzhao what happened, those destroyers would leave, Yang Yuanzhao just deduced that the British had a mission, and didn't say much else, by the way, let Fabian help, let him pass the flag and call the captain of the German detachment.

The British are gone, and the rest are also ghosts, because Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that the cutting-edge destroyers have been transferred, and the remaining 6 ships, the latest to be built, are also before 1903, and the early ones even have 15 years of money.

Germany, has always been a force that Yang Yuanzhao can rely on, he didn't tell him before, because the British have not finally left, some things, said, are not convincing, now, the British are finally gone, it is time to start a showdown, with the help of Fabian, the captain of the German detachment Andrei was invited to the cruise.

Andrei is the first time to board the flagship after joining the protection of the ship group, he is an orthodox German with the characteristics of most Germans, Fabian was also present at the same time, they didn't know what was happening, after seeing Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao told them all in detail, including Andre, everyone was stunned.

Even Andrei, the captain of such a detachment, did not expect that there would be such a blatant thing, the battle between pirates, that was in the early days of the Age of Discovery, the navy led by Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, in order to compete for sea power, even issued concessions to pirates, as long as they did not rob their own merchant ships, they were fine, and the others were robbed casually.

The Age of Discovery, is also the most rampant era of piracy, some well-known pirates, their equipment, more powerful than the regular army, in addition to the unlikely to have a first-class and second-class battleship, other third-class and fourth-class, everything, and even pirates in pursuit of speed, some cruisers in a variety of equipment, more powerful than the navy.

When Britain took control of Yiqiē, as the strongest, he had to make rules and order, and pirates were no longer helping or harming his sea power, in this case, naturally, pirates were stopped, and for a long time from the end of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, pirates disappeared from the whole world.

In the corners, the Caribbean, the European Mediterranean near the African side, Africa, South America and Southeast Asia, there are still sporadic pirates in these places, but the pirates are no longer satisfied with the previous grand occasion, not to mention the capital ships, the general light cruisers, pirates have never had, this is strictly controlled by all countries, it is a red line that has not been spoken, but it really exists. Under the civilized sky, there are so many pirates gathered together to deal with a fleet of guards, this is too rampant, isn't this the civilized world? R1152
