C878 Private fleet (1/2)
The young people were indeed spirited, maybe Xiao Letian had this plan in mind when he first pointed it out to the young people.
Xiang Ying, Lin Zhen, Jin Sanshun, and the others were only twenty-two or three years old on average. This age group had accumulated a certain amount of knowledge and experience, and was also a stage that was extremely destructive to the world.
If there was a group of old people suppressing them from above, it would still be alright. However, an Steel Armoured Patrol Ship like the Zhiyuan Palace was a completely new tool for war. Even if Xiao Letian wanted to find them a few ancestors, he wouldn't be able to find anything!
It was very obvious that this first voyage across half of the Earth had already determined the position of these young masters in the Iron-armored Ship era. This was because all of their experience was accumulated by them, and even some unconscious tactics of theirs, that they only wanted to vent their hatred on, would be revered as a classic by others in the future.
Lin Zhen's suggestion was exactly what everyone was thinking. The fertile Atlantic Ocean was filled with fat sheep, and Zhiyuan Warship could become a deep sea lone wolf.
As soon as they thought of it, they would do it. The Atlantic map placed on the table by the buzzing heads of the group had already turned into a delicious cake.
”We have five scissor boat and we even brought many national flags. We can use these scissor boat as bait to lure the pirates of the Atlantic to chase us … Knowing that our Zhiyuan Warship s have blown them to smithereens! ”
”No, we cannot waste it!” Do you know how rich the Caribbean pirates are? This bunch of grandsons love to collect gold the most, they have gold on their hands! ”
”That's right, not only can scissor boat be used as bait, we can also use them as scouting ships. The fleet is formed from the north to the south, and they are arranged in a large human shape. The distance between the ships is controlled within five kilometers, and our Zhiyuan Warship is hidden in the center of the two wings …”
”So that those enemy nations' merchant ships can only see our scissor boat first before they discover it … Furthermore, we have brought the most expensive anthracite this time. It would be very difficult for the enemy to find us … ”
”Right, right...” ”Although we can no longer distinguish the flags' language within five kilometers, we still have the signal of the flames. We can use the flames to transmit information …”
A group of aggressive young people quickly came up with a set of battle plans. A ghost of an Atlantic lone wolf was covering the five little sheep under the cover as they carried out a private raids that shocked the world at the end of the 19th century.
Once the young Chinese officer reached an agreement, the next step was to communicate with the Prussian sailors. Although these soldiers were nominally under their command, Xiang Ying and the others knew that these soldiers were just a bunch of friends.
When Xiang Ying and the others discussed with the rest of the officers, they did not expect this group of sailors to be even more fanatical than them.
”What happened in Cape Verde is a disgrace to Prussia all over Europe. There must be a war between France and Prussia! Since we can now collect interest on the ocean ahead of time, we certainly won't back down … ”” No, no... Get rid of these Frenchmen! Not even those Englishmen! ”Plunder, plunder them!”
The Prussian Nation had always loved to fight, and this time, they were going to deal with their century-old enmity, France. They did not even need to fight to mobilize these soldiers and had already started to prepare for battle.
