Official Edition Part Two Chapter Fortieth Shambhala
The Anna sailed through the wind and waves on the vast sea, its gray hull and cannons cast a layer of pink by the dusk sun. There were two battleships following the Anna. The small ship Yoshimitsu served as a guard ten nautical miles ahead.
While working, the medium-sized ships Kai Feng and Anna circled northward side by side along the south coast and west coast of Shambala Island.
According to the analysis of the monkey-faced mayor, the Seventh Fleet heading south and the Second Fleet heading north will round up in the waters east of Shambhala at about eight o'clock in the evening. After gathering, they will quickly launch an attack on Shambhala under the cover of night.
A full-scale attack on Lagang.
Everyone knows that the battleships of the Royal Navy are much more advanced than the poor pirates, and advanced battleships are more suitable for night battles.
However, due to being at a disadvantage, pirates usually have to hang out at night like rats, so the pirate sailors are more accustomed to fighting at night. And as the home port of the pirates, everyone knows the terrain here well. The navy has the time, and we
It takes advantage of the geographical advantages and people.
According to the plan, other pirates who have not anchored in Shambhala will start a full-scale attack on Skull Island at six o'clock. Our main force will launch a desperate attack on them before the two armies converge between seven-thirty and eight o'clock.
.The fleet I led relied on our familiarity with the terrain and sneaked around the Lenger Waterway to the west of Shambhala Island to ensure that it would sneak attack the enemy fleet from behind after the official battle started. But as we all know,
If this tactic is used against any of the second and seventh fleets, the winning rate should be above 80%. However, what we have to deal with today is an enemy that is twice our size and several times better equipped than us. If the second fleet does not
If there is a strategy of retreating from the mountain, or even if Gaster leaves, the fleet does not retreat, then the so-called taking advantage of the favorable location and winning with less is just unrealistic self-comfort. But even for a winning rate of less than 10%
, all pirates seem to be willing to fight to the death with the navy for their own dignity. After all, they are all desperadoes who are still unwilling to give up the pirate life after the death of the Red Beard Pirate King.
We still had a few hours to rest before arriving at the battle sea area. I also took this opportunity to walk around the ship to boost morale.
I walked forward along the front deck. There were many work teams wearing rough blue cloth work clothes walking around. They were busy avoiding the water sprayed from the hose when the flashing deck sailors washed the deck. The steel deck was under their feet.
It feels comfortable to step on. The breeze on the sea has a pungent smell and it smells very comfortable. This is exactly the world I like, composed of huge battleships, powerful mechanical equipment, active young sailors, heavy artillery, and the sea.
A free world composed of.
Soon I walked into the power room, which is the working base of Anna's technical department. And the busiest person during this period is probably the person in charge here, Zi Xiu.
In fact, there was no technical department on the Anna before. However, when I proposed to resign as captain, Zixiu also took the initiative to resign as first officer and was replaced by Xiao Ding. Then the plan to establish a technical department was put on the table, and the technical department
The applicant for the department head was Zixiu who had just resigned. Everyone, including Crow and I, was dubious about this. After all, we had never seen Zixiu’s technical expertise before, and she was such a beauty.
Is it really possible to do such rational and rough work as a technical department?
However, the facts shattered all of our doubts. Only three days after the establishment of the technical department, they made a dozen new discoveries. Five days later, Zixiu announced to everyone that the Anna was actually a ship capable of
Transforming into a mechanical fortress, her theory successfully explained why the Demon King called this medium-sized battleship a mobile fortress in the manual. And now they are studying the secret of transformation day and night.
As soon as I entered the cabin, I saw Zixiu with a face full of engine oil, and a large group of technicians who were hard at work. Most of these technicians were from the central research institution of the Demon World Group brought by Xiaoqian and Sister Anna on the ship.
The researchers, whose initial task is to track and study various performance indexes of Anna in actual combat, should be regarded as the elite among the elite. Everyone seems to be very motivated... It seems that the technology department is really trying its best.
Find out the magic weapon for victory from the Anna before the war begins. Of course, no one has high hopes for this improvised approach.
"Copper, come here and take a look at this." Zixiu, who was lying on a virtual simulator, waved to me without raising her head. Judging from the excitement on her face, she must have discovered something.
When I walked up to her, I found that her hands were constantly tapping the virtual keyboard floating in the air, inputting commands into the simulator. The battleship model inside was constantly changing as the input commands changed.
own form.
"This..." Although I still couldn't figure out the specific situation, I could already guess a few things based on what I saw in front of me, so I asked Zixiu in surprise: "Are you simulating the Anna?"
"Of course, but now only the simulator can perfectly simulate all the changes. It has not been tested in practice." At this point, Zi Xiu suddenly let out a long sigh: "Alas~~ This battleship is really realistic.
A masterpiece that is perfectly combined with virtuality! The designer who developed this battleship can only be described as a genius, no, to be precise, he should be a peerless genius."
"Is he really that powerful?" I really didn't expect that the tiger-headed old man I met at the beginning was actually an inventor. But looking at Zixiu's sympathetic look, could it be that she is too...
"Of course! The design of this battleship is extremely rigorous. Most of the designs are feasible even in the real world. According to this design plan, it is very possible to design a super battleship that has never been seen before. Hehe, in short, I will soon
This will make you bow at the feet of Anna."
"Ah! Are you talking about soon!"
Before I finished speaking, I was hit on the head. When I looked up, I saw that it was the technicians who had been working hard beside me. One of the younger ones said in an excited tone: "Boss, how can you say such a thing?"
What about words! You know, Minister Zixiu is the real genius. In ten days, in just ten days, she completed the work that all of us here failed to complete in ten months. Every task she proposed
The new solutions can quickly improve many of the existing shortcomings, and...and we are about to complete a research project today that will shock the world..."
As he talked, the young researcher was too excited to talk any more... But then Zixiu interrupted him with a smile, turned to the researchers who came to watch and said: "We can complete it in the next few days.
Thousands of different experiments are not the result of me alone. Without everyone's day and night work, would it have been possible? Okay, stop talking about these high-sounding words, are you ready for the actual deformation experiment?"
At this time, a middle-aged researcher stood up and replied: "Minister, everything is ready." I know this person, he was the actual person in charge of the technology department before Zixiu took over, and his name seems to be Andre.
He is an uncle who is too rigorous but seriously lacking in imagination.
"That's good, let's do a test right away."
"However, Minister Zixiu, since we are required to be light and simple when setting off, the energy carried by the battleship is no longer enough to support two transformations."
Hearing Andre's answer, Zi Xiu also nodded, and then turned to me and said: "Actually, I have also considered a problem. The deformation will cause huge energy fluctuations. In this way, we will 100% be destroyed."
The enemy discovered it. But it is really too reluctant to put it into use without experimenting..."
"Zi Xiu, can you tell me what the expected results of this transformation are?"
Zi Xiuxian looked at the people around him, then lowered his head and whispered a few words in my ear. After I heard it, my face changed completely. First I was surprised, then there was a knowing smile.
"What are the chances of success."
"It's hard to say. In principle, it is 100% feasible. However, based on my many years of practical experience, there is still a 50% risk of failure when implementing 100% of the theoretical basis."
"Haha, that means there is still a 50% success rate?"
"You kid, your focus is always different. But you are right."
"That's ok! Call the heads of all departments together immediately. I want to announce something."
Half an hour later, all the people in charge entered the captain's command room, including the captains of the other two battleships. When everyone was guessing that I had something important to announce, I had already announced: "Everyone.
Listen, the strategic direction has changed now. After the meeting, the Anna will turn north and approach the Seventh Fleet at top speed."
"King Otondai, according to the plan, don't we have to wait for the 7th Fleet to pass through first, and then attack them from behind after they enter the Shambhala battlefield?" Yoshimitsu, the captain of the Yoshimitsu, first raised his question.
"Didn't I say that the strategic policy has changed? And Captain Yoshimitsu, you and Captain Kaifeng's warships no longer need to follow us. You follow the original plan from the Lunge Water Channel to the rear of the Shambhala battlefield, and sail opposite to
The Second Fleet launched a sneak attack from behind.”
"Does your Anna have to deal with the Seventh Fleet composed of more than a dozen warships alone?" Kai Feng seemed to be very concerned about our safety: "My King, after all, you are the new King of the Demon Realm. Such a noble status is really worth it.
Take that risk?"
After listening to Captain Kai Feng's words, I couldn't help but smile. After looking at all my companions, I answered him: "I'm not the only one taking the risk. I have more than a thousand companions. And why are you?"
It’s not like you’re risking a battle that seems to have no chance of winning.”
"That being said, but..."
Captain Kai Feng was interrupted by me just halfway through his words: "I am the commander here, so what I say is an order. Don't think you are picking up any bargains. The Second Fleet may be more powerful than you think.
You could also die."
"Hey, let's talk about it, Brother Copper, what are your plans?" Crow finally couldn't help it anymore, so he asked me loudly.
"Of course there is a plan, but I won't say it now. But you, Crow, if we are going to have a hand-to-hand battle, are you confident in taking down the flagship of the Seventh Fleet?"
"Haha, you have asked the right person. My five hundred commandos and I have been impatient for a long time."
"There are peerless masters like Young Hero Hou Yi and Princess Yao Ji on board the enemy's flagship!"
"Ha! Speaking of fighting, am I, the crow, afraid of anyone? No matter who the hell, I am the one who blocks the killer and the Buddha!"
Hearing Crow's answer, I nodded to him, and then I turned my head to Lao Mao and Xiao Ding: "Two captains, now I will give you a chance. The enemy will not be able to attack you for about five minutes.
And they may be all around you. Do you have the confidence to engage in a head-on conflict with warships ten times your own?"
"Captain, are you telling the truth?" The two pirate captains looked at me in surprise. It seemed that they couldn't believe what I said. Indeed, within five minutes, the enemy was surrounded by living targets. It was unbelievable no matter what you thought.
Night talk.
But to everyone's surprise, I actually gave them a definite answer: "Yes, but my tactics only have a 50% success rate. In other words, there is a half chance that we will fall into
Under heavy siege, there is no place to die."
After hearing my answer, Lao Mao and Xiao Ding looked at each other, nodded first, and then turned around and said to me in unison very excitedly: "If it is true as the boss said, we are all willing to fight for this old (
Small) life. One to ten! No one can make such a crazy decision after the old captain. New captain, we all depend on you."
"What about the Anna's firepower?"
"Captain, don't worry. Although we didn't bring much energy this time, we still brought plenty of ammunition. Even if we launch a hundred ship-wide salvos, there will be no problem. The only thing we have to worry about is whether we can persist, haha
..." The usually cautious old man is actually joking here. It seems that this crazy plan has indeed made everyone crazy.
"Okay, now that everyone is ok, only the technical department, which is the most critical part of our plan, is left." After saying that, I turned to Zixiu and the others.
When Andre saw that it was their turn to speak, he quickly stood up and objected loudly: "I don't agree, this is too risky. I have done technical research all my life, and I have never used anything without experimenting."
"Uncle, I didn't say I wouldn't do experiments."
"So."
"Didn't you say that it would be most reliable to test it in actual war? So I decided to use the Seventh Fleet to test your results."
"But..." Before Andre could finish his words, he was pulled back by a large group of technicians behind him.
"Sir Zixiu, what are your opinions on technical support?"
Hearing my question, Zixiu smiled charmingly, and then replied lightly: "Everyone is working so hard, I only have one thing to say, and that is - risk your life to accompany the gentleman." Zixiu
As soon as the last five words were uttered, everyone burst into laughter. Of course, it wasn't that everyone heard something funny, because it was a knowing smile from all the members of Anna.
"Brother Copper, look at how motivated everyone is, at least you can reveal a little bit about your tactics." Crow stood up and hugged me affectionately, hammering my head with all his strength. It seemed like he wouldn't give up without telling him something. No.
Done...
"What's the name?" I tilted my head and thought for two minutes before deciding on the name of this tactic that had never appeared before: "Turtle tactic, yes! That's the name. I'll give you the details later.
Tell me what should be done. If nothing happens, we will use turtle tactics to completely annihilate the Seventh Fleet." I said a few words and immediately detonated the entire battleship.
Crow waved his arms excitedly and shouted to everyone: "In order to complete Turtle Son's tactics, let's all have a fucking fight together." Then a new round of cheers sounded again. This guy was praising people.
I'm still cursing people...forget it, I don't want to be on the same level as this illiterate person.
By the way, I actually had one last person to ask for her opinion. So I turned on the communicator and connected to Sister Anna’s channel.
"Sister Anna, are you ready?"
"There's no problem with me at all. For you, this is the best opportunity to test the results of your recent special training, so you have to cherish it."
Yes, if the turtle strategy wins, it will be a victory that belongs to the entire team. It will test whether we have an indestructible and strong team. As the leader of this team, I must not fall behind.
At six o'clock in the evening, the Jiguang and Kaifeng turned around in the Lenger Channel and returned to Shambhala as originally planned. The Anna adjusted its course and sailed towards the direction of the Seventh Fleet at the highest speed.
