"Humph, this guy is quite sensible." The sailor who had been quietly observing the sentry's every move on the ship not far away muttered. If the sentry got the money, he would have to draft a report tonight, and this unlucky man
Egg will also be sent to the punishment camp for several months. However, why did the pirate bribe the sentry?
According to regulations, as a member of the Ten-man Regiment, he has no right to directly request an interview with the public political security commissioner in the fleet - unless there is an extremely important matter, so he can only write down what happened just now on a piece of paper.
The note was thrown into a special box during the ashore activities. The key to this box is only owned by political security correspondents.
By evening, Shi Zhiqi, who also served as the special commissioner, received two reports on the matter: one from the sentry and one from the members of the "Ten-Man Group".
Someone is going to visit No. 51. Is there anything on it that attracts pirates?
Shi Zhiqi quickly made a judgment: the other party was looking for someone!
The possibility of detecting intelligence is unlikely. There is nothing special about the Linte 51, either in terms of power or weapons. And it is not easy to get on the ship - it is not a ship that relies on a trestle, and you have to rely on a small boat to get up and down. If you want to,
Wouldn't it be better to board a ship to investigate, and the ship is docked?
The only possibility is that the pirates wanted to board the ship looking for someone.
Who should he look for? Shi Zhiqi thought for a moment and asked someone to bring him a Political Security Bureau roster of all personnel on the Linte 51. Shi Zhiqi flipped through it and found that this kind of Political Security Bureau roster was confidential and was not allowed to the general public.
Check it out. There is not only each person’s reliability assessment, but also a simple resume of the individual.
Among the more than 50 people on the ship, 23 were born as "professional pirates" or "non-professional pirates". Shi Zhiqi understood: there must be old acquaintances on the ship among the other gangsters, and they wanted to build relationships.
The next thing he has to judge is "harmfulness". There are many purposes for building relationships. The most harmless ones are of course pure friendship. However, one must also consider the possibility that the enemy may instigate rebellion.
Shi Zhiqi immediately talked to Chen Haiyang about this new trend: "Should we launch an investigation?"
"Of course, according to the procedure, an investigation should be launched." Chen Haiyang said, "However, since we will destroy this gang soon, it seems that it doesn't matter much whether we conduct an investigation or not."
Le Lin said: "Maybe some thieves will be found. Even if not, we can still use them to trick them."
"Okay, how do you plan to take advantage of the situation?" Wen Desi asked.
"Well, you have to know who the other party wants to see and what they plan to do..."
"That's why it's called an unnecessary move." Wen Desi said, "This kind of strategic thinking is a typical weak mentality. What can you do with the cannons and typewriters on your ship? But we don't have to make such a trouble. Zheng Bao refused to accept the adaptation, and
If you don’t want to get out of Lantau Island, kill him first.”
"Zheng Baoke has sixty or seventy big boats! There are also many small boats. There are also more people than us."
"To be exact, there are a total of 71 ships that can be considered large ships." Chen Haiyang said, indicating to the staff to open the curtain on the drawing board behind him.
A map of the entire Lantau Island has clearly marked the specific location of every pirate ship anchored in Tung Chung. In addition, the locations of other ships anchored for a long time have also been marked.
"Sampan, Changlong and other small river boats are mostly anchored at the mouths of the east and west rivers. These boats are not the main force. We will ignore them for the time being."
According to the map, most of the pirate ships are gathered in Tung Chung, with a small number anchored on Tai O Island - a very small island separated from Lantau Island by an extremely narrow waterway.
The members of the special reconnaissance team landed on Lantau Island overnight on the first day of the landing day. On the second day, they climbed to the highest peak on the island, Phoenix Mountain, which is 935 meters above sea level. Then they traveled all over Lantau Island with the help of modern viewing equipment.
A lot of key information was accurately collected through surveying and mapping equipment.
The special reconnaissance team spent several days investigating and produced an intelligence map that not only accurately marked the location of each ship, but also drew a rough schematic diagram of several residential areas in Tung Chung.
Tung Chung, known as Tung Chung Port in the Ming Dynasty, is located in the center of the north shore of Lantau Island, facing the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides. In the Ming Dynasty, it was already the location of the main population settlement of Lantau Island. There are two rivers flowing into the sea here, which are called
East "Tung Chung Kou" and "Xi Chung Kou". The entire island of Lantau Island is mostly mountainous, and there are small impact plains only where the river flows into the sea. Therefore, this is also the most densely populated area. There are many small and large villages scattered here.
With.
"It is said that Tung Chung was once the place where the last two emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty hid and took refuge." Chen Haiyang said, "Since we claim to be descendants of the Song Dynasty, this place is so symbolic."
Shi Zhiqi said: "This can only be said to be a legend."
"The last imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty lingered in the Pearl River Estuary for a long time. It is not surprising to say that they once landed temporarily on Lantau Island to rest." Wen Desi said, "There are similar legends in many places in the Pearl River Estuary area. It should be a bit
Historically based.”
Shi Zhiqi asked: "The enemy's ship has a large number of people, and the terrain is advantageous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Can our frontal attack be effective?"
Chen Haiyang said: "Although Dongyongkou has a dangerous terrain and is conducive to defense, the pirates do not have a systematic land and sea defense system. They do not have any fortifications on the shore and only send a small number of personnel to look out at the promontory. They also have no control over the mountainous area behind them.
Without any defensive measures arranged, we could completely catch him off guard from behind."
Chen Haiyang's battle plan was to encircle the port by sea and land. Navy ships would organize an attack line outside Tung Chung Port and attack the port. The navy and some sailors landed from behind Lantau Island, carrying 12-pound mountain howitzers and rockets, and boarded the west side of Tung Chung Port.
From the Liujiao Mountain and Shangling Mountain in front, we bombarded the pirate ships in Dongyongkou from the mountains.
Once a pirate ship is attacked unexpectedly from the side and rear, it will inevitably break out of the harbor and fall right under the guns of the fleet that forms the front line.
In a chaotic battle in a narrow harbor, the side with more people and more ships may have an advantage. Once it reaches the open sea, the regular navy with advantages in navigation, command and firepower can give full play to its strengths. Chen Haiyang is convinced of this
.Even if it is a modified spy boat, the damage effect it can achieve with a single fire is astonishing.
"We will start taking action in three days," Chen Haiyang said. "The cargo will be completely unloaded and all ships will be put into use."
In order to strengthen the alert, Shi Zhiqi replaced two-thirds of the navy personnel on the Linte 51 in the name of defense the day before. Among them were specialized investigators - the task was to prevent and detect possible conspiracies.
Activity.,
Later, at his repeated request, Linte No. 51 was transferred to the outermost security circle - purely to facilitate the spies to have the opportunity to board the ship secretly - Chen Haiyang felt that this was simply a waste of time.
Looking for trouble, but cannot withstand Shi Zhiqi's tenacity to "make new contributions" on the political and security front. Furthermore, the other party's request for a thorough investigation is in line with organizational regulations.
The people sent by Wang You had been patrolling the area under the cover of fishermen. When they found that Linte 51 had moved to the outermost edge, Wang You decided to take a risk - otherwise he would not be able to explain to Zheng Bao.
When Wang You was escorted into the cabin by the sailors, Shi Shishi immediately recognized the man in front of him and was so shocked that he stood up immediately.
"Woof...manager!"
Wang You signaled with his expression and bowed deeply: "Wang You pays homage to your lord!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare, please sit down, please sit down." Shi Shishi quickly gave up his seat, "Make tea!"
"Don't bother!" Wang You cupped his hands and looked around, asking him to stay away and discuss secret matters.
Shi Shishi was in a difficult situation. Today, unlike before, there are no "confidant" people around him. The relationship between everyone is just superiors and subordinates. Although subordinates are absolutely obedient to superiors, they are not the "caring" kind.
Relationship. In other words, he has no secrets on this ship.
I had a private conversation with the former steward, but at this juncture when I could have a conflict with pirates at any time. The steward's eye drops were really timely.
But if he doesn't drive the person away, Manager Wang will never reveal his intentions. Shi Shishi is very embarrassed. He can't just drive him away - the reputation is extremely ugly if it is spread, and more importantly, among the chiefs
There is no way to explain. Shi Shishi clearly understands the thinking of the Australians. They require clear conclusions on everything. They must not be vague. Since Wang You is on this ship, it is impossible to hide the past. If he is not connected to the other party's
Since I don’t know anything about my purpose, I have no way of starting the report.
Thinking of this, he asked everyone in the cabin to retreat, leaving only the orderly - this was to leave a witness for himself.
"This is my confidant. You can do whatever you want in front of him."
Wang You whispered: "Master Shi, how are you?" He looked at the cabin casually. He was surprised by the neatness and beauty of the cabin, especially the furniture and furnishings in the cabin, which were very exquisite - and chaotic and dirty.
The cabins of pirate ships are completely different.
"I didn't expect you to do well among the Kun-Australians!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Shi Shishi said casually, "My younger brother is working in the Australian and Song Dynasty navy. He can be regarded as an officer."
"Australian Song Dynasty? Oh," Wang You remembered. The Australians claimed to be descendants of the defeated Yashan army of the Song Dynasty. They fled overseas and founded the country in Australia. "Looking at his appearance, he is also a first-rate general."
"Where, where," Shi Shishi shook his head quickly, "I left the general and still checked several levels. I am the captain of the Australian and Song Navy. As before, I am in charge of several ships." He looked at Wang You with inquiring eyes, "
Manager Wang! There has been no news about you since the battle on Nanri Island. I wonder where you are employed now?"
