The anchorage was very calm one night, maybe because the location was better, maybe because I was lucky today, there was nothing happening all night. When the sun finally rose, or maybe it was a coincidence, the pirates and Yang Yuanzhao's fleet began to move almost at the same time. The pirates needed to prepare more and put all the ships in a suitable position and hide them. They had been doing similar things for 3 consecutive days, just for fear of missing the fleet. They set off every morning and entered the predetermined place to ambush. At night, they returned in batches after 9 o'clock, and continued.

Hundreds of ships will definitely not leak, but the pirates have a big heart, and tons of gold will be run away by it, and they may cry to death. For many years, they have not encountered such a good thing. After this vote is completed, for most pirates, they can choose that amount of money and go home to be a rich man. Not every pirate is willing to enjoy the days of being in danger at sea. Most of them are forced to do so, especially since the end of the 18th century. Pirates have completely declined. The gradual escalation of competition in maritime arms has allowed the rapid development of naval weapons, leaving less and less space for pirates.

In the history of later generations, from the late 18th century to the late 20th century, pirates were suppressed until the end of the 20th century. Due to asymmetry, it was too expensive to use high-speed warships to encircle pirates. Every time a modern warship worth tens of millions of dollars was used, it was a huge amount of money. In this case, pirates who rely on a small boat of more than ten tons, or even a assault boat, were once again revived.

The pirates were busy driving all the fleet out, and the troop was also preparing. Everyone who belonged to Yang Yuanzhao knew that the tense naval battle was about to begin, and the Strait of Malacca was ahead. As long as you enter the strait, your heart must be raised.

The soldiers assigned to each outer ship were sitting quietly preparing. These soldiers came from the reconnaissance battalion of the First Division of the South China Sea and the First Division of the South China Sea. They were formed under the expansion of the backbone of the northwest. The reconnaissance battalion was one of the best. These personnel were carefully selected from the 2 million people in Southeast Asia. Starting from three months of recruits, they went through at least 4 inspections before entering the reconnaissance battalion. In principle, there were no new recruits in the reconnaissance battalion. The fewest people trained in the army for 18 months, and more people have been trained in the army for 3 years, which can definitely be called powerful.

Strict training made the soldiers calm down even after they went to the battlefield. A large number of machine guns were placed at various positions on the deck, especially on the outer periphery of the ship, which was in front of the ship. Each ship had at least 12 soldiers and about 20 dual machine guns. These machine guns were all covered in necessary concealment and could not be placed outside openly.

Like the ship's fleet, the British army also knew that the movements of the pirates were always under their surveillance, and even the positions where the pirates were preparing to attack. They also knew that some British staff members had a discussion on this position at that time. The final result was that the pirates' location was good, not the best position in Malacca, but the easiest position to succeed. The area was relatively complex, and the waterway was not the narrowest, but it was gradually from wide to narrow.

The map inside the British squadron command post clearly marked the location of the pirates and the possible naval battle. Combined with the current speed of the ship, if nothing unexpected happens, the battle must be today at this speed. Dozens of various destroyers are the biggest problem. Colonel Helens, the captain of the British squadron, was preparing to find an opportunity to leave according to the order of the boss. When the ship officially set off, a destroyer sailed directly to the flagship, and then at about 9 o'clock in the morning, Colonel Helens boarded the ship.

Colonel Helens's arrival surprised Yang Yuanzhao more or less, but when he thought about it, Yang Yuanzhao did not stop him and directly led Helens in. Sure enough, Colonel Helens directly informed Yang Yuanzhao that because he received the emergency military service from above, 27 of them had to carry out emergency missions and needed to leave immediately.

In front of Yang Yuanzhao, Helens not only calmly described the decision, but also showed Yang Yuanzhao the telegram message. Looking at the telegram in Helens' hands, it was just translated by the telegrapher, or even if it was translated. Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. As expected, you can't expect the British to improve their urine properties. It was almost an open flame to hold a stick. After signing a contract, you can shirk it away with an emergency order.

As for his original intention, Yang Yuanzhao was even willing to throw this telegram on Helens' face, especially Helens said hypocritically at this time that he did not leave all of them, but only 27 ships left. There were 27 ships left, 33 ships left, leaving only 6 ships left. This is clearly the one who is leaving. The few ships left are also for monitoring. The most important thing is that they may sink a few ships. At that time, all of this may fall on the head of the northwest.

Yang Yuanzhao resisted the strong thoughts in his heart. At this moment, it was not convenient to break up with the British side. Otherwise, with the British configuration, the East Asian fleet sent a squadron to make the Northwest look good. He also had to pretend to be reluctant and try his best to keep it. However, Helens insisted on leaving, and Yang Yuanzhao had no choice. Looking at more than 30 destroyers, there were only 6 left at once. In addition to the 5 German ships, there were only 11 warships left in the current fleet of hundreds of people, and 6 British destroyers were ulterior motives. The fleet ushered in the most dangerous moment.

Helens left, and even promised that he would directly pay the prepaid protection fee to the Northwest, and even said that he would give it the full amount. Looking at his hypocritical face, Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that it was impossible. Not to mention that he would be attacked by pirates, he would sink several British destroyers, even if there was no at all, the British Navy was ready to lose it.

The left and right are just small money. China is still developing and is not a match for Britain at all. Especially in the field of the navy, history is always written by the victors, both ancient and modern, and both in China and abroad.

The 27 destroyers left, and they were distributed in various parts of the entire fleet. In order to gather together, they even carried out simple marshalling. It seemed that Helens also carried out an operation from the protection state to the marching state, which attracted everyone's attention.

It was this that the noise was very loud. Many crew members were alarmed, including Fabian and others who were immersed in their own world. During this period, they encountered many attacks. They were also very strange. Didn’t all countries start to control pirates? Why are there so many pirates? Is it because there are almost 40 destroyers in Southeast Asia, and they are very at ease with their safety. But now, when the threat of pirates has not been completely removed, the departure of 27 British destroyers has directly given up their protection. At this time, if pirates come to attack, it will not be like entering a no-man’s land, and the danger will be greatly increased.

Just as Yang Yuanzhao came down, Fabian asked Yang Yuanzhao what happened and the destroyers would leave. Yang Yuanzhao just said that the British had a mission, and did not say much else. By the way, he asked Fabian to help him and asked him to send flags and utter the captain of the German squadron to come.

The British left, and the rest were also ulterior motives, because Yang Yuanzhao knew very well that the new destroyers had been transferred, and the remaining six were built at the latest before 1903, and the earlier ones even had ships worth 15 years. Such ships could play a lot even if they were all in their efforts, let alone those who took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Germany has always been a force that Yang Yuanzhao can rely on. I didn't tell it before, because the British had not finally left. Some things were said, but there was no conviction. Now, the British finally left, and it was time to start a showdown. With the help of Fabian, the German squadron captain Andre was invited to the cruise ship.

Andrei first boarded the flagship after joining the fleet's protection. He was an orthodox German with the characteristics of most Germans. Fabian also attended at the same time. They didn't know what happened. After seeing Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao told them everything in detail, everyone, including Andrei, was shocked.

Even the captain of the squadron, Andre, did not expect that there would be such a blatant thing. The battle between pirates was in the early days of the Age of Discovery. In order to compete for maritime rights, the navy led by Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom even issued licenses to pirates as long as they did not rob their own merchant ships, they would rob the others at will.

The Age of Discovery was also the era when pirates were the most rampant. Some well-known pirates had more equipment than regular troops. In addition to being unlikely to have first-class second-class battleships, there were all other third-class and fourth-class ones. In order to pursue speed, some cruisers were even more powerful than the navy in various equipment.

When Britain took control of everything, as the strongest, he had to set rules and order. Pirates no longer helped or harmed his maritime power. In this case, it was natural that pirates were stopped. For a considerable period of time from the end of the eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, pirates disappeared from the entire world.

In the corners, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean of Europe is close to Africa, Africa, South America and Southeast Asia, there are sporadic pirates in these places, but pirates no longer accept the grand occasion before. Not to mention the main battleship, pirates have never owned it. This is strictly controlled by all countries. It is a red line that has not been said but exists. Under the sky of civilization, there are so many pirates gathered together to deal with the fleet with guards. This is too rampant. Isn’t this a civilized world?
