On the calm sea, the Jinchuan was spewing thick black smoke and white steam, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
In front of the Jinchuan is a water formation composed of two rows of speedboats.
The speedboat was faster and headed north with murderous intent.
Shui Wa stood in front of the deck of the Jinchuan, looking at the receding coastline on the left and the vast sea on the right, and a feeling of heroism suddenly emerged in her heart.
On the coast, Jin Feng and Zheng Zheng Chiyuan stood on the beach outside the No. 3 dock, watching the fleet from a distance.
Tang Xiaobei came over at some point and noticed a worried look on Jin Feng's face, so he comforted him softly: "The Jinchuan has been equipped with heavy crossbows and catapults, as well as airships and speedboats as escorts. We can kill several
It's easy for pirates, nothing will happen to them!"
"A few pirates are certainly not worth mentioning," Jin Feng said, "but pirates are not the only danger at sea, what's even more terrifying is the weather!"
When Jin Feng designed the building ship, its main purpose was for transportation, but since the Jinchuan was handed over to the Navy, it naturally had to focus on military purposes.
Therefore, Jin Feng specially installed the most advanced large-scale heavy crossbows and catapults on the Jinchuan.
In particular, the modified heavy-duty catapult is powered by the ship's crane and can throw several boxes of grenades at a time, enough to cover an area of sea as large as a football field.
There are also heavy crossbows equipped with scopes, and their range and accuracy have also been improved. Hitting a pirate ship from a hundred feet away is the basic assessment standard for shooters.
With such a powerful lineup, no fleet in the world can compete with it. Attacking a group of pirates is simply overkill, and Jin Feng is not worried at all.
What worries Jin Feng is the weather.
All kinds of extreme weather have occurred frequently in the past two years, and summer is the season when extreme weather is most likely to occur.
Now that summer has entered, Jin Feng is worried that the fleet will encounter typhoons or storms.
Storms at sea are very scary. Even in Jin Feng's previous life, once a storm was predicted, all ships would choose to return to port to take shelter.
The original design of the building boat was to sail in inland rivers and offshore waters. It is not suitable for long-distance voyages on the sea. Its wind resistance is very average and it will be dangerous once it encounters a hurricane.
Zheng Chiyuan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel emotional after hearing Jin Feng's words.
No one wants to be treated as cannon fodder. When Chen Ji was in power, even if the powerful and powerful people passed by the East China Sea, they would only give a few words of encouragement and take away various specialties from the sea before leaving. No one put themselves in the shoes of the navy.
Thought about it.
Based on Zheng Chiyuan's understanding of Jin Feng, he could tell that Jin Feng was really worried about the navy soldiers.
This made Zheng Chiyuan very pleased, and he stepped forward and promised: "Maintaining the tranquility and peace of the East China Sea is our unshirkable responsibility and mission of the Donghai Navy. Please rest assured, sir, there is no one who is greedy for life and death in the Donghai Navy, no matter whether we encounter pirates or storms."
, are determined to complete the task!"
"Well said!" Jin Feng nodded towards Zheng Chiyuan: "I also hope that the Navy will do what he says!"
Zheng Chiyuan immediately straightened his back and gave a solemn military salute: "If I can't do it, I, Zheng Chiyuan, am willing to die to apologize!"
Jin Feng nodded and turned his gaze to the sea again.
"General Zheng, how long will it take for them to catch up with the pirates?" Tang Xiaobei asked.
"If there are no accidents, two hours is enough." Zheng Chiyuan replied: "If everything goes well, we can receive good news tonight."
"Notify me as soon as there is news!"
Jin Feng was very concerned about kelp, so he was particularly concerned about the pirates who robbed the fishing boat transporting kelp.
If the other party finds a security loophole in transporting kelp, it must be repaired in time to prevent such an incident from happening again.

Zheng Chiyuan's guess was very accurate. At eight or nine o'clock that night, an airship came back with the battle report.
In the feudal era, people generally had earlier schedules. It was already dark at this time, and it was no longer appropriate to disturb the leader's rest. However, Zheng Chiyuan knew that Jin Feng was paying attention to this matter. After receiving the information, he came to Jin Feng as soon as possible.
Jin Feng was still studying blueprints in the study at the time, and immediately asked his guards to bring Zheng Chiyuan in.
"Sir, the battle report just came back from the speedboat!"
As soon as Zheng Chiyuan entered the door, he held the battle report in front of Jin Feng with both hands.
Jin Feng took the battle report and quickly opened it.
The battle report was written by the captain of the Jinchuan. Judging from the description of the battle report, they successfully caught up with the target pirates, and used the cooperation of airships and speedboats to successfully surround all the pirate ships, annihilating more than half of the enemies on the spot, and all the rest were captured on the spot.
.
After interrogation, it was found that this group of pirates was not the same group that attacked the Shen family's fishing boat, but they came from the East together with that group of pirates.
According to the account of the captured pirates, after the pirates robbed the Shen family's fishing boat, they feared the navy's retaliation, so they immediately headed north with the wind and plundered a fishing village a hundred miles away.
Coincidentally, a large landowner in the Central Plains region was going to find a remote island in the East China Sea to escape the war, and he stocked up on a lot of food and supplies in that fishing village.
This group of pirates robbed the big landowner of food and supplies, filled all the pirate ships, and started their return journey.
At the end of the battle report, the captain of the Jinchuan asked for instructions whether to pursue or not.
This is also the reason why Zheng Chi came to find Jin Feng.
He can make the decision in small matters, but this group of pirates has already escaped. The probability of finding a few pirate ships on the vast sea is really low.
Even if it is finally found, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.
The Jinchuan is one of the only two powered warships in the Navy. Its usual tasks are already heavy enough. Zheng Chiyuan does not dare to make a random decision and let it perform a task that takes a long time and may not necessarily have results. He can only
Come and ask Jin Feng for instructions.
Realizing that Jin Feng had finished reading the battle report, Zheng Chiyuan asked in a low voice: "Sir, are we still pursuing him?"
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
Jin Feng said coldly: "The pirates knew that I was in the East China Sea and that the navy was at the dock, yet they dared to hijack the fishing boats transporting kelp. This is a provocation. If we don't respond, they will become more and more arrogant!
Chase! Must chase!
Didn’t I capture the companions of this group of pirates? Ask them where they are from. Even if I chase them to the mainland of the East, I will capture them and hang them in the place where they committed crimes!"
"Those who offend China will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
"Catch them as far as the mainland of Dongyang and capture them!"
Zheng Chiyuan silently repeated Jin Feng's words, his breathing becoming rapid.
These two sentences are too overbearing!
The navy has been dealing with pirates over the years, and most of the pirates come from the East, which can be said to be far away.
Dakang's communications were lagging behind. Most of the time, when the navy received news of pirate robberies and rushed to the scene of the crime, the pirates had already disappeared without a trace.
Although Zheng Chiyuan was angry, he was helpless.
Because Dongyang is too far away from Dakang, it is simply unrealistic to pursue it.
Things are different now. The navy has steam engines and ships. It will be much easier to go to the East and the conditions for pursuit are already met.
