Chapter 698 Rebellion
"Huh, this kid is quite interesting." The sailor who had been quietly observing the sentinel's every move on the ship not far away muttered.If the Sentinel took the money, he'd have to draw up a report tonight, and the hapless fellow would spend months in punishment camp for it.But why did the pirate bribe the sentinel?

According to regulations, as a member of the ten-member group, he has no right to directly request an interview with the special commissioner for political security in the fleet—unless there is an extremely important matter, so he can only write down what happened just now. Notes, thrown into a special box when going ashore.The key to this box is only available to the Political Security Specialist.

In the evening, Shi Zhiqi, who also served as a special commissioner, received two reports on this matter: one from the sentinel, and the other from a member of the "Ten-member Group".

Someone wants to go to Linte 51, what is there to attract pirates?

Shi Zhiqi quickly made a judgment: The other party wanted to find someone!
It is unlikely to detect intelligence. There is nothing special about Linte 51, no matter in terms of power or weapons.And it's not easy to get on the boat - it's not a boat that depends on the trestle bridge, and you have to rely on small boats to ferry you up and down.If you want to board a ship for investigation, wouldn't it be better to have a ship that is docked?
The only possibility is that the pirates wanted to get on this ship looking for someone.

Who are you looking for?Shi Zhiqi thought for a while, and asked someone to bring a roster of the Political Security Bureau of all the personnel on the Linte 51 ship.Shi Zhiqi looked through it. The roster of the Political Security Bureau is confidential, and ordinary people are not allowed to read it.There are not only everyone's reliability assessment on it, but also a simple resume of the individual.

Among the more than 50 people on the ship, 23 were "professional pirates" or "non-professional pirates".Shi Zhiqi understood: there must be an old acquaintance on this boat among the other party's gangsters.Want to make a relationship.

The next thing he has to judge is "dangerousness".Relationships serve many purposes.The most harmless of course is out of pure friendship or something.However, we cannot fail to consider the possibility that the enemy may instigate rebellion.

Shi Zhiqi immediately talked about this new trend to Chen Haiyang: "Do you want to start an investigation?"

"Of course, according to the procedure, an investigation should be launched." Chen Haiyang said, "However, since we are going to eliminate this group of gangsters soon, it seems that it doesn't matter much whether we investigate or not."

Le Lin said: "Maybe some insiders will be found out. Even if they don't, they can use their tricks."

"Okay, how are you going to plan?" 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 unnecessary." Wen Desi said, "This kind of strategic thinking is a typical weak thinking. What are the cannons and typewriters on your ship for? But we don't want to make such a trouble. What Zheng Bao refused to accept the adaptation, and why? If you don’t want to get out of Lantau Island, let’s kill him first.”

"Zheng Baoke has sixty or seventy big boats! There are also many small boats. There are more people than us."

"To be precise, there are a total of 71 ships that can be regarded as big ships." Chen Haiyang said, and motioned the staff to open the curtain on the drawing board behind him.

On a full map of Lantau Island, the specific location of each pirate ship moored in Tung Chung has been clearly marked.In addition, the positions of other long-term mooring vessels are also marked.

"Most inland river boats such as sampans and long dragons are moored at the mouth of the east and west streams. These ships are not the main force. Ignore them for the time being."

According to the map, most of the pirate ships gathered in Tung Chung, and a small number of them anchored on Tai O Island-this is a small island separated from Lantau Island by a very narrow waterway.

On the first day of landing, members of the special investigation team landed on Lantau Island overnight, and on the second day they boarded Phoenix Mountain, the highest peak on the island at an altitude of 935 meters.Afterwards, he traveled all over Lantau Island and accurately collected a lot of key information with the help of modern Guantong surveying and mapping equipment.

It took the special investigation team a few days to investigate and the intelligence map not only accurately marked the position of each ship, but also drew a rough plan view of several residential areas in Tung Chung.

Tung Chung, called Tung Chung Kou in the Ming Dynasty, is located in the center of the north coast of Lantau Island, facing the sea on one side and surrounded by mountains on three sides.In the Ming Dynasty, it was already the main population settlement of Lantau Island.There are two rivers flowing into the sea here, which are called the East "Tung Chung Mouth" and "West Chung Mouth".The entire island of Lantau Island is mostly mountainous, and there are small impact plains only where the river flows into the sea.So this is also the most densely populated area.There are many large and small villages scattered around.

"It is said that Dongchong 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 too symbolic."

Shi Zhiqi said: "This can only be called 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 that they landed temporarily on Lantau Island to rest." Wen Desi said, "There are similar legends in many places in the Pearl River Estuary. It should be a bit based on history."

Shi Zhiqi asked: "The enemy ships are many people, and the terrain is also advantageous, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Can our frontal attack be effective?"

Chen Haiyang said: "Although the terrain of Tung Chung Kou is dangerous and good for defense, the pirates don't have a systematic land and sea defense system. They don't have any defenses on the shore. They only send a small number of people to look out at the cape. The mountains behind are also With no defenses in place, we could have caught him off guard from behind."

Chen Haiyang's combat plan is to outflank land and sea.The naval ships organized a blockade outside Tung Chung mouth and attacked the port.The sailors and some sailors landed from the back of Lantau Island, carrying 12-pound mountain howitzers and rockets, boarded Liujiao Mountain and Shangling Mountain to the west of Tung Chung Estuary, and bombarded the pirate ships in Tung Chung Estuary from the condescending heights on the mountain.

Once a pirate ship is attacked from the rear by surprise, it will inevitably break out of the harbor.It fell right under the guns of the fleet that formed the blockade.

In a chaotic battle in a narrow harbor, the side with more people and ships may have an advantage. Once it reaches the open sea, the regular navy, which has advantages in navigation, command and firepower, can give full play to its strengths.Chen Haiyang firmly believed in this.Even for a refitted spy boat, the damage effect that can be achieved with one fire is astonishing.

"We will start operations in three days," Chen Haiyang said. "The cargo is completely unloaded, and all ships can be put into use."

In order to strengthen the guard, Shi Zhiqi replaced two-thirds of the marine team on Linte 51 in the name of redeployment the day before.There are special investigators among them - the task is to prevent and detect possible conspiracy activities. ,

Later, under his repeated requests, the Linte 51 was transferred to the outermost security circle—purely for the secret agent to have the opportunity to sneak on board—Chen Haiyang felt that this was simply enough to support Bai Bai. Looking for trouble, but Shi Zhiqi couldn't stand 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 also in line with the organization's regulations.
The people sent by Wang You have been patrolling the vicinity under the cover of fishermen. When he found that Linte 51 had moved to the outermost periphery, 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 sea soldiers, Shi Shishi immediately recognized the man in front of him and was shocked.So that he stood up immediately.

"Wang... Manager!"

Wang You signaled with his expression, and only bowed deeply: "Wang You pays homage to Your Excellency!"

"Don't dare, dare not, please sit down, please sit down." Shi Shishi hurriedly gave up his seat, "Make tea!"

"Don't worry about it!" Wang You arched his hands and looked around, meaning to ask him to stay away and discuss secret matters.

Shi Shishi was in trouble.Today is not the same as before, there are no "confidantes" around, and everyone is just a superior-subordinate relationship.Although subordinates are absolutely obedient to their superiors, it is not the kind of relationship that is "close to the flesh".In other words, he has no secrets on this ship.

Talking privately with the past supervisor is still at this juncture where conflicts with pirates may occur at any time.Manager Wang's eye drops are really timely.

But if he doesn't drive people away, this Manager Wang will never say what he wants.Shi Shishi was very embarrassed.He couldn't just drive him away like this - the reputation was extremely bad, and more importantly, he couldn't explain it to the chief.Shi Shishi is very clear about the thinking of Australians, they require clear conclusions on everything.Never be vague.Now that Wang You is on this ship, it is impossible to hide the past.If I don't even know what the other party's purpose is, I will have no way to start my report.

Thinking of this, he asked everyone in the cabin to retreat, leaving only the orderly—this was to leave a testimony for himself.

"This is my confidant, you can feel free in front of him."

Wang You said in a low voice: "Master Shi, are you safe?" He looked at the cabin casually, and he was very surprised by the cleanliness and beauty of the cabin, especially the furniture in the cabin, which was very delicate--and messy and dirty. The cabins of pirate ships are nothing like that.

"I didn't expect you to be doing well here in Kun——Australians!"

"It's okay, okay!" Shi Shishi casually said, "My little brother is serving in the Australian and Song Navy, so he can be regarded as an officer."

"Ausong? Oh," Wang You remembered, the Australians claimed to be descendants of the defeated Yashan army of the Song Dynasty, who fled overseas and established a country in Australia. "It looks impressive, and he is also a first-class general."

"Where is it?" Shi Shishi shook his head quickly, "I have been checking several ranks since I left the general. I am a captain of the Ausong Navy. As before, I am in charge of several ships." He looked at Wang You inquiringly, " Manager Wang! Since the Nanri Island battle, I haven't heard from you, so I don't know where you are now?"
