"Prepare to attack!" Long Jiu commanded.

With his command, two S-class torpedo boats emerged from behind the reef and headed straight for the lone merchant ship.

"There are pirates!" In broad daylight, the observation post immediately spotted torpedo boats flying pirate flags.

"Prepare to attack!" Shiro Koasano, the captain of the merchant ship, shouted. There are many pirates in the vicinity of Malacca, and most ships are equipped with firearms. Their merchant ships also had two machine guns and two 7.7 mm machine guns.

With his shouting, more than a dozen crew members also ran to the side of the ship with Type 38 rifles.

Xiao Qian ignored the banner of surrender raised over there, and directly ordered to shoot and warn.

"Let's hook!" After a gunshot, the opposite Dragon 32 shouted, and the 20 anti-aircraft guns on the torpedo boat they were on had adjusted their position and opened fire on the merchant ship. Immediately sawdust flew everywhere, and a row of holes appeared in the side of the ship.

"They have cannons!" A crew member exclaimed. Merchant ships like theirs are good armed with machine guns and rifles, and very few have artillery.

"Speed up! Get rid of them! Xiao Qian shouted.

The merchant ships began to increase their power and started to move, but it was the S-7 on the other side, and it was too easy to catch up with them.

"Bump into them!" As soon as Xiao Asa saw the speed of the S-class torpedo boats chasing after him, he knew that he could not escape, so he simply used the huge size of the 3,000-ton merchant ship to ram these small speedabouts.

"Left full rudder!" Dragon 32 shouted, and his torpedo boat dodged. The Dragon-28 on the other drove to the other side in a torpedo boat.

"Boom!" A cannonball landed on the right front side of the side of the Devil's merchant ship.

"Damn, didn't you hit!" Du Zizhang said with annoyance.

"They have warships!" The splash of water blew on the faces of the sailors on the deck who were in a daze, and some of the startled sailors shouted. In the distance, a battleship about to catch up with the size of this merchant ship was heading towards this side with its guns on its back.

"Damn it!" Little Asano Shiro scolded hatefully. If it was only those two torpedo boats, their merchant ship might have been able to escape, but with this battleship, they had no hope of running. Although he felt sorry for the cargo of this ship, he still reluctantly hung up the white flag.

"That's Scott?" Xiao Qian, who had served in the navy, was somewhat familiar with this battleship, and as the battleship approached, it became more and more consistent with an impression in his mind, "This is impossible, it is very strange that there is such a big battleship here." And it's Scott, which makes people even more suspicious that someone is behind it. ”

Pirates near Malacca and the South China Sea rarely have such large ships, and the attack power of thousand-ton ships is already terrifying, and ships like Scott are no longer available to ordinary pirates.

"There are no suspicious targets around!" A BV-138 water reconnaissance plane was flying in the sky, and the wireless telegrapher Zhou Liankang shouted in a low voice. In order to ensure that Scott's destroyer's secrets were discovered later, he usually appeared at night. It rarely appears during the day, except when there is a special target or when there are no suspicious targets in the vicinity detected by the current passing reconnaissance aircraft.

This place is already close to the Natuna Islands, so the first thing to intercept is the S-class torpedo boats that sail together in training formations. But when the S-class was hit, the uncontrollable first mate Deng Muchang ordered to fire. Originally, Scott came out for training, and since the first search did not find anything unusual, he said that he was temporarily safe.

At this time, Scott's whole body has changed greatly, full of pirate flags and fishing net-like camouflage, if it weren't for Xiao Qian's experience of visiting Scott, others would not recognize it at a glance. Even if there were natives who found out, they couldn't be connected to Scott. The most rumored is the appearance of large ships among the pirates. But the rumors of such big ships are often inaccurate.

However, this two-thousand-ton destroyer was a little too conspicuous to be used as a pirate ship, and it was very easy to attract the attention of the Dutch and the British. But Meng Xiang was not happy to produce those small broken ships, and Scott still needed to train the crew, so he still used Scott, but when he acted, he just paid more attention to his surroundings. It's not a big deal to be discovered. This is because Scott's activities are mainly in the area of Malacca and the Java Sea.

Xiao Qian watched the pirates with black oil paint on their faces climb onto the merchant ship, and when he saw the Thompson submachine gun they were carrying, he had a bad premonition.

When all the sailors were gathered on deck, under the watchful eye of eight armed pirates, a dozen other pirates began to rummage through things, and the nautical chronicles were also turned out, along with some lists of cargo.

"Be careful!" When Shiro Asano saw that the gestures made by the two pirate leaders to each other had reached the muzzle of their guns, he couldn't help but shout loudly, broke free from the pull of the caretaker next to him, and threw himself on the ground.

"Da Da Da!" The guns of the submachine guns rang out, and none of the devil sailors on the deck were killed.

"Who are you?" Xiao Qian, who fell to the ground, shouted.

"Phew!" The shot of an M1911 pistol that burst his head answered him.

Long 32 gestured, and more than a dozen people pulled out their M1911 pistols and refilled each suspected corpse with another shot.

"The enemy on board has been cleared!" Dragon 168 reported. Although he did not receive training, he also grew into a qualified sailor in his regular training.

"The ship is full of rubber and tin!" Dragon 32 reported.

"The rubber is transported to station A, recycled! Metal tin reserved for shipping back! The commander of this pirate fleet, Long Jiu, ordered.

Station A is located on an outermost uninhabited island in the Nanyang base. There is no fresh water on the top of it, but a mining plant has been built on top of it to recycle items. The price of natural rubber recycling is also higher than the actual price now, so recycling is chosen.

As for the ready-made metal tin can be applied directly, it is temporarily placed in the base, and there is a chance to pull it back to the base in Huaxia.

"The probability of the reconnaissance plane in the sky being discovered by others is very high, and you should pay more attention to it when training in the future!" Officer Chen, who was already a naval lieutenant, couldn't help but record as he looked at the reconnaissance plane flying in the sky. He had only been here for a short time, but when he saw the Scott destroyer, his eyes moistened.

Although he did not realize his dream of becoming the captain of Scott, serving as the chief of staff of this fleet made him more satisfied. The fleet by this time already had two Scott destroyers, six S-class torpedo boats, two VIIC submarines and four Type IIB submarines.

This fleet is already an absolute powerhouse among pirates. The fleet was divided into two squads, and the main objective was to target the merchant ships on the sea. It is said that Ben imports a large amount of supplies from Southeast Asia every day, such as rice, rubber, tin, oil, etc., and Scott is still very easy to deal with these merchant ships. With the reconnaissance of the aircraft and the attack of the submarine, it is completely possible to say that I have suffered heavy losses.

But Meng Xiang clearly told him that what was needed to house the fleet here was to make more sailors and naval officers mature. Twenty-four naval cadets from various Chinese naval schools who had not yet graduated gathered together and boarded the Scott destroyer to begin training, along with 12 educated and experienced young Chinese in Nanyang.

Although the first naval academy of the Vanguard Army had already opened its class and enrolled 200 cadets, they could only toss shallow water near Sheephorn Gully.

And this is an internship place for advanced students who have mastered a certain amount of knowledge.

You have to beat yourself hard, but you can't expose yourself in order to beat yourself. It's not a target worth targeting, and I don't usually hit them. Meng Xiang only wanted to accumulate manpower quickly, and he didn't want to provoke the attention of himself and the Dutch and the British too quickly.

Ships from other countries generally don't plunder, and every time Scott goes out to deal with him, he is directly killed. The use of other countries, especially European and American countries, in this way is likely to cause bigger problems. Just call my own ship, and the Dutch will be less pressed.

"I found that two of my oil tankers have set sail!" A telegram came that several ports such as Singapore and Jakarta had Chinese eyeliners that were heavily connected with Ye Zizhong, and they began to report the situation of devil ships as soon as there were them. There is also an eyeliner arrangement in the oil-producing areas in Indonesia, where the devil tanker has just set sail, and the intelligence has been sent.

"Hit!" Chen Guan said decisively.

"Baga, this is already the twelfth merchant ship that the Empire has lost in the South Seas. They came specifically against our empire, and the other countries had no losses, and only we were frequently attacked by the big black ship. Nagano Shushen shouted loudly. Scott's appearance has been spread out, but none of the local natives who found it recognized it as the Scott Destroyer. And no one knows that there are two of them.

After the three Scotts with the Germans were successfully traded again, the Nanyang Navy, which had no deal for the time being, let go of its hands and feet, and attacked continuously, sinking more than a dozen cargo ships and oil tankers of the devils, and the looted goods also made Meng Xiang earn millions, so that Meng Xiang realized how the pirates got rich.

"The stupid donkeys in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are just waiting for a reply from the Dutch, but the Dutch have been shirking for half a month, but they haven't made any move. To warn the Dutch that if there is no movement, we will have to take action ourselves. "The escort small gunboats are not working at all against Scott, they are not only facing Scott, the submarine force also needs training and training. Already three escort gunboats and armed merchant ships also disappeared.

However, the dispatch of large warships is very sensitive. The Dutch rejected the request that they themselves come to exterminate the pirates. It is easy to please God, but it is difficult to send God. Who doesn't know what I expect from Southeast Asia? It is said that there are already many people in China clamoring for the south to occupy Southeast Asia. It was only an angry shout, but it made the Dutch dare not be careless.

There was no information that the cargo ships of other countries had disappeared, only that he had no sunken wreckage, and there were no traces of stolen goods on the market. Although some local natives saw that Yue's cargo ship was attacked by a pirate ship, who knows if he wrote and directed this play. So I can reach out to the South Seas. The French and British were equally denied the shipwrecks near Vietnam and Malaysia.

At this time, he sent a piece of evidence.

When the merchant ships disappeared a lot, the merchant ships in the past paid attention to it and stopped surrendering. With the equipped artillery and guns to resist, but in the face of the devil cargo ship that refused to surrender, Long Jiu decisively ordered the artillery to continue the bombardment. Looting cargo is only a secondary objective. Fighting enemy ships, training the team is the main thing.

Faced with a target the size of a 4,000-ton cargo ship, the 4.7-inch naval gun that Du Zizhang was responsible for hitting hit two of the three shots. But the devil still did not surrender, and Long Jiu did not let the sailors forcibly board the ship, and directly ordered to sink it. The cargo ship sank after being hit by six bullets, but before it sank, it was desperately heading towards a nearby sandbar shoal, and eventually sank with part of its hull still exposed.

The soldiers sent by the vanguard army did not carry any more goods, but only killed the devil sailors who were lying on the water, fired two more shots on the exposed hull, and then withdrew. It is close to the shipping line and is in danger of being exposed at any time.

A day later, he found the freighter based on clues provided by passing ships.

So he took the evidence and came to the Dutch again.

"The shells seem to be British, and the guns and weapons are all American. This evidence is too obvious! "Edwin, the Dutchman who came to coordinate the deal? Fan? Morality? Sa couldn't help but pout. As a baron of the Netherlands, Ben was a little annoyed when he came to the East Indies, and he was even more annoyed to hear him nagging beside him. The empire fell, and it was only then that these yellow-skinned monkeys were bullied to the top of their heads.

As soon as I asked for evidence, I sent this evidence. They all used British and American weapons, and they attacked large warships. But those pirates seem to be too disrespectful to grab the goods, and even if they sink into the water, the rubber or something can be fished up. Or I am more attentive, those dead bodies are so dedicated, and they used so many lives at one time. What they want is bigger.

He promised to react to the authorities, sent the men away, and then left the matter to the Dutch governor to deal with. And the Dutch governor found the British ambassador that night.

Without the support of the British, the Dutch could only endure in the face of themselves.

"I can first promise them to cooperate in the suppression of pirates, and I am now in the north and the Russians are getting more and more nervous because of the border friction incident. When the time comes, maybe whoever pushes them behind their backs will break out into an even bigger war! The British ambassador laughed, "When the time comes, I will not care about the East Indies." ”
