Chapter 661 The Tranquility Before the Rainstorm (3)
In recent years, many people have seen Dongbao steel cargo ships in the Pacific Ocean. After all, several grain ships travel between the colony and Dameng all year round.But few people have seen Dongbao's new warships. Even if anyone has seen them, most of these people are defenders on the Great Wall of Desperation.
But this time, in order to make an example to others and clean up the maritime order in Southeast Asia, Dongbao specially dispatched a Fletcher-class destroyer to Malacca.That's right, it's the Fletcher class that Bao'er got in the end world.Although Dongbao has the strength to build more advanced ships, don't forget that Baoer's Dawn Shuguang was built in Daiguo's Dongbao shipyard.
But apart from showing great power against monsters, that thing is more than enough to fight sea monsters from the Twelve Kingdoms or as a conventional sea force.Regardless of the destroyer's super high speed of 37 knots or the 127mm rapid-fire gun, it is too magical for this era.Of course, its magic degree is second only to Baoer's flagship Dawn Dawn.
Therefore, when a destroyer came from behind the clipper ship at a speed of up to 34 knots, the British pirates were completely in a state of confusion.
"Captain, look at the 12 o'clock direction!"
The watchman rang the alarm bell, reminding the captain that something strange was rushing towards them.But it was obviously a boat that rushed over, why didn't the sailors recognize it?
Because in the inherent consciousness of all sailors, ships sailing on the sea, no matter how big or small, must be equipped with sails to sail.But what was rushing towards them now, though resembling a ship in outline, could not see any sails.Moreover, he also saw a bunch of towering illegal buildings emitting white smoke.
Not only the lookouts, but even the captain doesn't think what's in the binoculars counts as a ship.But the captain also discovered that the speed of the strange ship seemed exaggerated!
In less than 10 minutes, the destroyer caught up with the Clipper and surpassed it shortly thereafter.At the very beginning, the pirate ship, which was heading towards the clipper ship and was about to outflank the rear, was attacked by the first round of shelling from the destroyer at this time.
However, the opponent was at least 9 miles (14 kilometers) away from the pirate ship.To fire at such a distance, could it be that the captain of the other party is seriously insane...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The pirates on the ship were completely stunned. They never expected that the opponent's guns could hit so far. When the distance between the two sides was just nine miles away, jets of water exploded around the pirate ship.
Immediately afterwards, the pirates saw the sawdust in the bow of the ship flying, and before they even had time to respond to the "shot in the bow", the 127mm high-explosive ammunition exploded in the wooden hull.And this high-explosive bomb not only broke the keel of the pirate ship in an instant, but also detonated the gunpowder magazine at the bottom of the cabin.
Then, the three pirate ships blocking the strait saw their companions engulfed in a huge, blinding ball of fire.And the strange ship without sails didn't seem to intend to stop. Even though the fire had engulfed the entire hulk, they still sent a farewell bombardment mercilessly, completely blowing up the wooden pirate ship into sawdust on the sea. .
Seeing this scene, the three ships that blocked the strait naturally understood that all tactics would mean death in vain in front of the strange ships.So the three boats immediately had full sails and rudders, and they were about to turn around and run away.But the biggest disadvantage of traditional sailing warships is that they have no speed at all when they set sail.
So, when the destroyer was close enough to shoot without aiming, the three pirate ships had just completed their turn.The distance between the two sides was so close that the pirate captain could see the captain on the bridge pointing the middle finger at them with just his naked eyes!
"Don't waste the main gun shells, put all the anti-aircraft cannons flat, and shoot as you like."
When the 40mm and 20mm machine guns on the destroyer spit out countless tongues of flame, the pirates realized that the sound of "bang bang bang" turned out to be the roar of death.The three high-speed sailing frigates that had been feared by the Spaniards in the Atlantic Ocean less than 7 years after they were launched were turned into scattered wood chips on the sea under the cannon fire.
And the survivors...
Please, the 40mm machine guns are all used, how could there be any survivors? Could it be that the vitality of the pirates is so tenacious that they cannot die even if they are smashed in half?
For the five destroyers that Dongbao sent to clean up all the disharmonious factors on the route, this was just a not-so-important episode.In the next month or so, these five destroyers really cleared up all discordant factors within a range of nearly a thousand kilometers around the Strait of Malacca.
More than 20 pirate strongholds have been cleaned up, and no fewer than 50 pirate ships have been blown to pieces.However, there are less than 20 pirate ships confirmed to belong to the United Kingdom, and the remaining more than 30 ships are from Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean coast.Several Arabian pirate ships that had fished across the border were also sent to the bottom of the sea by the Toho fleet without discrimination.
In just one month, the law and order in the waters near Malacca has taken a new turn.The merchant ships plagued by pirates are all grateful to Dade, and even many old captains are looking forward to Dongbao's occupation of this sea area again.
However, Dongbao made it clear that they did not have much interest in occupying territory, but they immediately expressed some interest in fighting pirates.After seeing Dongbao's destroyers, many maritime powers suddenly felt that the sailing warships parked in their country's ports were not good.Even when many naval commanders encounter the Dongbao destroyer at sea, they will be flushed with excitement.It's as if what they see is no longer a battleship, but a ship girl...
The prestige of the Dongbao Fleet once again spread far and wide, and Rafael also took this opportunity to invite the plenipotentiary representatives of the countries along the three oceans to come to Malacca to hold a conference in the name of the Dongbao Chamber of Commerce.Basically, countries with developed maritime trade sincerely support the drafting of the anti-private piracy convention, and even Spain, which has always been at odds with Dongbao, has approved Dongbao's proposal.
Countries that benefited from privateering and piracy paid little attention to it.For example, England under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I has always been cynical about the anti-private piracy convention.
However, these cynical voices stopped abruptly after Baoer's sudden appearance!This was not because the representatives saw that Bao'er was pretty and sold him a little bit, but because Bao'er hacked a representative of a small Middle Eastern country that participated in private plundering in front of everyone.
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Remember, our East Asia is now facing the threat of invasion from hell devils. Although I don't expect you to send troops to help us share the pressure, but you must not take advantage of the time when the old lady is too busy. Make us mess up!
Don't forget, there are not only a few countries in East Asia in the world. If we are completely defeated in the face of the devil, you'd better weigh whether you have the ability to resist the invasion of the devil.So don't wait to see East Asian jokes with the attitude that watching the excitement is not a big deal.
If there is any country in your country that doesn't understand the truth of the lips and teeth, I can also reluctantly teach your neighbors. "
Therefore, Bao'er chose the small country represented by him as a tutorial program, and personally demonstrated how he captured the chief of the country across thousands of miles in an instant, and how to wipe out a ruler in an instant.
only……
These people don't understand the truth of the death of lips and teeth, but the purpose of teaching success that may die at any time has truly conveyed to the hearts of each of them.
Afterwards, representatives of various countries not only signed the anti-private plundering convention, but even several big countries decided to symbolically send troops to the Great Wall to express their determination to firmly protect the community of shared future for mankind!Although these countries did not decide to send many reinforcements, it was enough if they had their minds set.
Even France, Shinra, Spain, Portugal, Genoa, Venice, Naples and other European countries that took the lead in sending troops were named and praised by the Holy See.
But why did the Pope take the initiative to praise them...
Bao'er: Hehehe.
