In fact, four merchant ships travel together can also improve a lot of security. Those pirates with small power, such as pirates with only one or two ships, will never have the idea of ​​a fleet of more than four ships.

You should know that these four ships are equipped with advanced stern guns and first guns, and they still have the ability to fight and retreat!

Especially Prince Chengzhi, although he proposed to break up the large fleet and form a small fleet of three or four ships to increase commodity profits, he was not a fool!

He still needs to have the ability to protect himself. He not only installed quick cannons, but also equipped fifty Mauser quick guns on each ship, which were purchased from the Chinese people at a high price!

Once there is a conflict on the sea, the four ships will have eight artillery and 200 guns to use. This is not a small firepower. For those behind pirates along the way, the firepower is extremely fierce!

Because of this, the captains of these four boats were very confident and had no idea that the danger was waiting for them in front of them!

The Maldives is the pearl of the Indian Ocean. The scenery here is beautiful, but unfortunately there is no tourism industry in this era. The indigenous people here live very hard, and their social level is very backward!

Since there are no valuable products, no sea boats are willing to come here. Only some local Indian boats occasionally come here to purchase some local specialty products such as pearls, corals, tortoiseshells, and giant clams!

But today, the indigenous people in Maldives kowtowed to the southeast direction, muttering that they didn't know what to say!

Just southeastward, seven sailing fast ships lined up across the Maldives Islands. The fast ships were all wearing pitch-black flags and painted with white paint on them!

It was actually a pirate ship, and seven sailboats were dispatched at once. Looking at the dense guns on both sides of the sailboat, it can be seen how terrifying the lethality of this warship is!

On the leading flagship deck, a middle-aged man with bronze-skinned Asian appearance was lowering his telescope, and a pirate next to him stood attentively and said.

"Report to Colonel! We have a 40-minute flight from the scheduled sea area. If the information is correct, four big fish will not be able to escape!"

"What are you talking about? Where is this? Colonel and Colonel... Call me Golden Eye Bream, or call me Master Jin!"

"The CIA has finally used us once, and we can't make any mistakes. All brothers have shown their true nature as pirates back then and robbed those Qing dogs and Tartars!"

"Give it!" The seven pirate ships were cheering.

Golden-eyed bream is one of the most famous pirates in Southeast Asia, but he defected to the Chinese early on. When the French attacked Naha, he sent the news that the head of state was still alive to Ryukyu.

The morale of the army stabilized and finally reached the return of the head of state!

Later, the golden-eyed bream stayed in the Chinese navy and was incorporated into a member of the navy. Although he had made contributions, he had to study hard if he wanted to integrate into the new navy!

Golden Eyed Bream and his brothers would not be a problem if they fought hard, but when they talked about studying, they were all stunned!

Several years have passed, and the Golden Eyes is still just a colonel, and this is rewarded for his contribution!

It is conceivable how strict the rules of the Chinese navy are. Even if you make great contributions and your business level does not meet the standards, you will never be able to get any reuse!

The golden-eyed bream is completely marginalized in the later stage. The Chinese people will not treat you badly. The military pay is high, but they just won’t give you a task!

A group of brothers can only take on those tasks of near-shore defense, and even the power of logistics delivery!

But no one dared to complain to the head of state. They saw with their own eyes how hard the Chinese naval training was, and they also knew how outstanding those college students and officers were!

Calculus, trigonometric functions, complex chart calculations of routes and positions, and over and over calculation of curve ballistic data... Even foreign languages, these naval officers must master at least two subjects per person.

English is a must-choose, and the other ones are self-selected. If such elites are placed in the Qing Dynasty, they can become ministers of the Ministry of Works. The country must give them the first and second ranks!

But among Chinese people, these are the basic standards for naval officers!

The golden-eyed bream was convinced. He even prepared to help the Chinese navy all his life. He had no worries about food and drink anyway, and his social status was still high, so he was better than being a pirate!

But unexpectedly, when he was in despair, the CIA came to him. Director Wang and Xiang Ying met him together and gave him a top-secret task!

Let the Golden Eyes bream choose several old sailboats to transform them into pirate ships, lurk in the Indian Ocean for training, and wait for orders!

The golden-eyed bream was so excited now that he knew that there was a top-secret task to be done, and that this task could be replaced by military merit. What he lacked was military merit!

He immediately summoned his old subordinates, and then seconded a group of cadets from the Navy's recruits battalion and brought them directly to the Indian Ocean in the name of internship!

They have been training for three months since summer, especially in the Maldives area, and they are already familiar with each other!

Because they often trade freshwater food with the indigenous people in the Maldives, they are more generous in their actions, and the pirate ships are large in scale, which makes these indigenous people mistakenly believe that they are the kings from where they come from.

As long as you see these pirate flags and ships, you will rush to the ground and kowtow, and the same is true today!

"Brothers! We have been in vain for several years of military pay from the Chinese people. We will fight when we encounter wars and have never been to the main force!"

"Today, God is open to his eyes. The CIA will reward us with a bowl of rice. Do you think it can be smashed?"

"No!" The seven pirate ships shouted wildly.

"That's good... show our courage back then, draw a knife... fight on the sidelines!"

"Kill..." Seven pirate ships sailed through the wind and waves and headed straight to the northwest of the Maldives!

"The robbery of the Tartars...the slaughter of the Tartars...the chickens and dogs are left, no one is left..."

Li Hongzhang guessed nothing wrong. There are people in this world who want the Qingshui Master to appear, and even the Chinese people hope this is the case!

Fuqing's plan is not troubled at all, so naturally someone understands it and helps him complete it!

The Golden-Eyed Bream's men have completed the pre-war morale incentives. They are not only pirates, but also pirates trained in militarized management. These people have become killing machines.

In the Indian Ocean, outside the main fleet of British and French powers emerged, they were not afraid of any enemies!

At the end of the distant sea, there were traces of ships faintly, and the target had already appeared on the chopping board!

"It's almost... it's almost... I've seen it... As the information says, four sailing paddle ships sailing against the wind!"

"Brothers... kill..." The shouts of the golden-eyed bream aroused the brothers' excited response.

But at this moment, fate suddenly made a joke, and thunder suddenly came from the distant sky!

"Hey... thunder was coming forward? It wasn't cloudy... Oh! It was broken, someone fired... Damn, is anyone intercepting the slaughter?"
Chapter completed!
