More than ten minutes later...

When the pirate fleet approached within 5 nautical miles of the G1 branch, on the other side, the East China Sea Fleet led by Li Yan finally appeared.

A super warship and a lineup of five large warships are approaching quickly from the side.

"Is this speed almost twice that of a standard warship?"

"As Kizaru said, this new type of warship doesn't even have sails!"

"And, if I'm not mistaken, that super warship should belong to Peach Rabbit, right? Why is there no sail?"

Looking at the six warships that were very fast even though they had no sails, Qing Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, General Aokiji, the limit of this new type of warship can reach 15 knots, far exceeding the speed of seven or eight knots of the navy's standard warships!"

hiss...

This really doubled the speed.

"What about the Peach Rabbit?"

"The warship owned by Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit was also sent to Carrera East China Sea Branch for modification!"

"That's it..."

Nodding slightly, Qingzhi said, and at the same time, he began to plan in his mind whether he would also send the warship there for modification after this battle was over.

You know, the navy's sailing ship can only reach a speed of a little over seven knots, which is just over ten kilometers per hour. But doesn't he just dislike the slow speed of warships, so he often rides a bicycle?

If a warship can reach a speed of 15 knots, wouldn't it be nice to just ride in your own car, put a deck chair on the deck, and then bask in the sun?

------

Finally, after more than half an hour passed again...

The pirate fleet finally came within 500 of the G1 branch.

"Ice Age!"

On the outer wall, Qing Pheasant suddenly jumped forward and landed below. Then he let out a low cry and launched his ultimate move.

More than ten seconds later, the sea surface thousands of meters in front of the branch was already frozen, and the pirate ships were naturally trapped there, unable to move.

"Li Yan is still a little far away, so whatever, Kuzan and I will go and delay for a while!"

After looking at the East China Sea Fleet, which was still about 5 or 6 kilometers away, Akainu said, and then prepared to lead the vice admirals out.

"Admiral, please wait, they are already within the range of the East China Sea Fleet."

"What, this is impossible..."

Hearing Nokigao's words, Akainu instinctively wanted to refute, but before he finished speaking, he saw...

A burst of fire flashed on the five warships of the East China Sea Fleet.

Obviously, those warships fired!

"How is that possible... This is at least 5 kilometers away!"

"General, although it is impossible to achieve precise strikes at a distance of more than five kilometers, there is absolutely no problem with covering the ground with artillery fire!"

Just as Nokki said these words, dozens of artillery shells had already fallen.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."

At this scene, both Akainu and Aokiji, as well as the tens of thousands of marine soldiers on the outer wall of the branch, were stunned.

Maybe it wasn't very accurate, but it was obvious that the impact points of all the shells were controlled within a small range.

Even...

A pirate ship was immediately hit directly, and a group of pirates were immediately blown up into the sky.

Without giving these pirates a chance to react, the second salvo started five kilometers away.

And then the third round...

Round 4...

Until ten minutes later, everyone was numb.

Nearly thirty rounds of bombardment blasted the entire area where the pirate fleet was located into craters. Even the ice layer made by Aokiji using Ice Age, which was at least ten meters thick, was about to be unable to hold on at this moment.

As for the pirates who are being bombarded constantly...

Well, the black smoke was so thick that I couldn't see clearly.

However, Aoki Akainu and the lieutenant generals are able to see things. Although they cannot see it with the naked eye, they can sense it. At least 80% of the pirates among them have died.

"This power..."

"This range..."

Even Akainu had a look of shock in his eyes at this moment.

"General, Lieutenant General Li Yan said that caliber is justice and range is truth!"

"Caliber is justice? Range is truth? Okay, okay, I like this, and I like this warship even more. When the matter here is settled, I will suggest to Marshal Warring States that the navy of our headquarters be fully equipped with this new type of warship!"

"Admiral, Lieutenant General Li Yan also said that after all, the East China Sea is not as dangerous as the New World. If the Admiral needs it, the five warships that have just been commissioned can be transferred to the G1 branch at that time, as long as the cost is enough. After all, if they are newly built, it will take more time.

It’s not short.”

"Well, your lieutenant general is very good!"

Hearing what Nokigao said, Akainu praised him without hesitation.

To know...

Akainu doesn't usually praise people!

However, in his excitement, he didn't notice the strange expression on Nokigao's face...

Before Li Yan asked Nuo Qi to come over, he had told her.

After you go there this time, one is to convince the two generals to cooperate with us in fighting, and the other is, um, to sell the warship!

That's right, even with promotion, even the five ships of the current East China Sea Fleet can still be sold.

After all, the East China Sea is about to enter the era of ironclads. Why should we keep such backward wooden warships?

Why don't you sell it quickly while it's worth some money?

That's why Nokiko has been working beside Akainu...

Explain the performance work of warships!

"The mission assigned by the Lieutenant General..."

"Is this considered completed?"

Seeing the excitement on Akainu's face, Nokigao couldn't help but think in her heart.

------

The fierce bombardment lasted for a full hour, until each warship had fired a basic shell.

Although there are still shells, the naval guns really need to take a rest. If they continue to fire, there will probably be problems.

after all...

This was a continuous shooting for an hour without stopping!

"Is there no one alive here anymore?"

At this moment, the six warships had arrived outside the ice, and on the deck, Taotu looked at the tragic scene of thick smoke in front of him, and couldn't help but ask.

"There must still be some living people. After all, in these famous pirate groups, not to mention ordinary pirates, most of the captains and officers are domineering, and there are many people with various abilities."

Shaking his head, Li Yan replied.

"Send a signal and ask Nokigao to inform the general that we can start taking action!"

"At the same time, order all soldiers in the fleet to board the ice in full force and cooperate with the sailors of the G1 branch to eliminate all pirates!"

He sensed it with his sense of sight, and then Li Yan gave a loud order.

After hearing the order, the sailors of the East China Sea Fleet screamed one by one.

They were really tired of watching this hour of shelling...

At the same time, on the outer wall of the G1 branch.

When he saw a black thunder streaking across the sky, Nokigao turned towards Akainu.

"General, Lieutenant General Li Yan has sent a signal. They have begun to land on the ice over there to encircle and suppress the remaining pirate forces. Our side..."

"Everyone listens to the order! Everyone goes out to destroy the pirates!"

How could Akainu not understand what Nokigao meant.

To be honest, he has been impatient for a long time.

Before Nuo Qi could speak loudly, she immediately gave the order loudly.

Therefore, a total of 1,800 people from the East China Sea Fleet plus Taotu, as well as tens of thousands of people from the G1 branch, directly looked at the thick smoke billowing place in the middle of the ice from two directions...
Chapter completed!
