It has to be said that Statu is indeed a talent in organizational management. In just five days, four different pirate groups and a group of pirates with completely different living habits formed a mixed fleet, allowing him to manage it in an efficient manner. Yes.
In order to have unified signals and communication methods during operations, Statu produced unified documents on navigation essentials, formation order, and combat instructions, and distributed them to the four pirate groups.
They also required the four pirate groups to be familiar with these instructions and conduct a simple formation drill.
Then all the cadres in the pirate group are assigned to be stationed on each ship as navigators, so that they can quickly command the crew to take action when receiving instructions.
Tonight, the sea wind on this route was particularly violent and unpredictable. Sometimes it was windy, sometimes it turned westerly, and sometimes it changed direction rapidly, causing the entire pirate formation's ships to sway.
If the anchor had not been anchored in advance, there would probably have been ships colliding with each other.
The fierce sea wind was also beyond the navy's expectations. The large main warship was fine, but the smaller frigates on the periphery were bumping and drifting in the rough waves, fluctuating with the wind and waves.
There was even a frigate that accidentally hit the frigate next to it. The stern was severely damaged and had to be towed forward by other ships.
"I'm so sick of this damn weather, shit!"
On the largest frigate, the navigator cursed and walked to the leader Daugzier and asked for instructions: "Admiral, the wind is blowing a little bit crazy tonight. Now we must either anchor and fix the ship, or we must avoid this." The wind is gusting, otherwise other small frigates will be in danger if the wind continues to blow."
Daugzier pondered for a while and asked: "If we avoid this storm, will we deviate from the route?"
The navigator hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Yes, this wind is blowing from the northwest. If we want to completely avoid it, we will inevitably deviate from the original route."
After hearing this, Daugzier said directly: "You are not allowed to deviate from the channel, keep moving forward!"
"But..." The navigator was anxious. If things continued like this, a shipwreck might really happen.
"Execute the order!" Dogzier coldly issued the order again, completely ignoring the navigator's objections.
Looking at the navigator's unwilling to leave, Daugzier sighed secretly.
How could he not know that in this situation, the navigator's words were the most correct choice.
But he also knew that the top commander of this fleet, Vice Admiral Bastiu, would not agree to such a decision.
At the same time that the adjutant was arrested, Bastiu also looked for Dogzel himself. After clearing his suspicion, Bastiu released him.
But the adjutant's rebellion undoubtedly added a stain on him that could not be washed away.
Even though he is the minister of defense of the kingdom, facing the two behemoths of the World Government and the Navy, his status in the kingdom is nothing.
Therefore, he could only save himself, and only by personally arresting the pirates who were attacking this time, could he be completely cleared of suspicion, and could he keep the family behind him from being implicated.
Therefore, others can withdraw or give in, but he cannot.
"Go ahead at full speed, be on alert at the lookouts and pay attention to any suspicious movements!"
Although he didn't think that pirates would attack under such a storm, Daugzier still didn't dare to let down his guard.
It was this kind of vigilance that allowed the frigate to discover the strange movement in the darkness at the first time.
"There is an unknown ship directly ahead!!"
A sudden shout from the observation deck startled the meditative Daugzier. Daugzier was shocked and quickly jumped up to the observation tower on the mast.
He grabbed the telescope from the lookout's hand and looked straight ahead.
Because it was night and the wind was strong, waves several meters high were set off on the sea, making the view extremely difficult to see.
After watching it for a long time, Dauger could vaguely see the silhouettes of more than a dozen ships on the sea a few nautical miles away, lining up in a row and heading in the direction of the convoy.
"Enemy attack, sound the alarm!"
Without any time to think, Daugertzl ordered the lookout to sound the alarm, then jumped off the lookout and began to direct the formation of troops through the phone bug.
But maybe the peaceful life before had paralyzed the guards' mentality. When they received the alarm, the guards of the ten frigates were still in a state of confusion.
The pirate ships on the sea were all small speed sailing ships, and they rushed towards the frigate with the help of the strong wind behind them.
Strangely, there were no lights on the ship, as if ghosts were controlling the sailboats.
"Fire, aim at the enemy, fire! Sink them!"
"Quick, artilleryman, reload!"
"Turn the ship around, you idiot, aim the cannon at the enemy and fire again!"
Daugzier's idea was a good one, but it was a pity that the other frigates were neglected in the battle formation. Unexpectedly, there were pirates who dared to storm the navy, and they all started to fight in panic.
Countless artillery fire roared towards the distance, but due to poor timing, they were far from the range and most of them missed.
And against the water splashed by the explosion of the cannonball, more than a dozen sailboats approached.
Unlike other frigates, Dogzel, who was on the main ship, was not in a hurry to attack.
On the entire frigate, the cannons have been loaded with ammunition, and the artillerymen and commanders are ready, all breathing heavily and staring at Dogzel on the bow.
"Get ready, the enemy has entered the firing range, the artillery crew is ready to press the bomb!"
Daugzier calmly stared at the sailboat not far away. In addition to flexibly avoiding some stray bullets, the opponent's speed did not slow down at all. It seemed that he was preparing for hand-to-hand combat as soon as he came up.
This made Daugzier, who was experienced in naval battles, feel a little uneasy.
Generally speaking, in a naval battle, both the enemy and ourselves will generally maintain a relatively safe distance at the beginning.
They tested each other's firepower and range on each other's ships. After entering the range, they relied on firepower to suppress the enemy's ships and inflict maximum damage to the enemy first.
The shotgun explodes on the ship, which can kill and injure sailors to the greatest extent, reducing the difficulty of boarding battles.
The huge chain cone cannon is directly used to destroy masts and sails to reduce the speed and flexibility of enemy ships.
Various types of iron bombs are used to directly destroy the hard hull and deck. Although they will not cause an explosion, there are ballast bombs that can even directly break the hull and cause the enemy ship to sink directly to the bottom of the sea.
Incendiary bombs are ammunition that can ignite the opponent's ship. Iron balls are heated red or doused with oil, and then fired through the artillery tube, causing large area burns.
Grape bullets load a large number of physical marbles into a special launcher. When they hit an enemy ship, the gunpowder contained in them will explode. The impact of the explosion will cause the iron marbles to eject at high speed, causing extreme damage to the sailors on the ship. Big damage.
Poison gas bombs, as the name suggests, after explosion, the poisonous gas contained in them will be released, which will quickly disintegrate the enemy's effective strength.
However, this kind of poison gas bomb is rarely used among pirates. Generally, only the army has such a lethal weapon.
Accustomed to the scene of all kinds of ammunition and artillery fire flying all over the sky in naval battles, Daugzier felt uneasy again when he saw the opponent's pirate ship and just rushed towards his own position without saying a word.
But seeing that his opponent had already entered the range of the artillery fire, Daugzier didn't have time to think too much, raised his right hand, and released the signal to attack.
