Chapter 388

Even if it is honored to be the focus of attention, Aldabra island is still the humble uninhabited island in the island chain north of Madagascar.

She is 460 kilometers away from Madagascar and 640 kilometers away from the east coast of Africa. Even at the speed of the xiangyanghua, it takes a day and night to get from Mombasa to the preset battlefield.

This day and night was the time when the future and the freshman code arrived at the battlefield in advance.

The secret service formation is about to direct an unconventional naval battle. As the absolute initiative, they choose their opponents, time, battlefield, and dance on the wire rope to make themselves the party attacked.

In order not to fall off the rope, every step of the battle has been fiercely discussed, and the most discussed and most divergent is time.

How to implement this complex trick in place is everyone's concern.

The earliest plan was put forward by old Dylan.

He took xiangyanghua's progress in luring the enemy in Mombasa as the yardstick, adjusted the itinerary of the future through the contact of the lady in the middle, and realized a series of events in stages, such as xiangyanghua's arrival on the island, being attacked, the emergence of the future, the observer confirming the identity of the Portuguese attacker, the lady's bag copying the tail, and declaring war on the Portuguese chamber of Commerce in the name of revenge.

The advantage of this scheme is that the fault tolerance rate is very high. The xiangyanghua, which undertakes the most work, will take the lead. The executor can decide the process according to his own judgment and make the event develop naturally and orderly within a certain limit.

The disadvantage of the scheme is risk.

Xiangyanghua will bear almost all the risks of the whole operation, especially from the arrival of Aldabra island to the future entering the battlefield. They must face the attack from Portuguese businessmen alone. If they don't live until the future enters the battlefield, the whole plan will be wasted.

So freemani and the senior class members soon put forward a second scheme that could be called an improved version.

In Mombasa, the xiangyanghua still led the process. When the enemy was successfully lured, the xiangyanghua left the post, and the leading power was immediately transferred to the lady.

The strongest combat power of the secret service formation will be the first to enter the preset battlefield and guide the future and xiangyanghua to meet in a suitable position to jointly respond to the attack of Portuguese businessmen.

Compared with the first scheme, the second scheme is stable, and the risk borne by xiangyanghua is greatly reduced. After all, the future and the new code support the battlefield. Even if Portugal's opponents mobilize an unexpected number of warships, Drake will not easily sacrifice.

However, its defects are also obvious. The last lady in the plan must assume the heavy responsibility of the command center.

There is no hardware problem.

The lady is a varkiri class designed by Drake maritime group as the flagship of the branch. In terms of the configuration of submachine boats, there are two 15m large sea and land transfer boats and four 5m ultra-high speed communication boats as standard.

The communication boat is Bermuda slup type, with detachable mast. Under the condition of full load of 8 people, the sail can reach the peak speed of 20 knots, and the contact radius is as high as 300 km.

However, the risks of the vast sea can not be generalized on paper.

Once faraming successfully lures the enemy, xiangyanghua, future and the lady used as a fulcrum will enter a high-speed moving state for a long time. Under the strong wind and waves in winter, no one can guarantee that the contact ship can travel safely at sea, nor can they guarantee that they can accurately find the target of sending letters every time.

The consequences of failing to deliver the letter can be disastrous. In the most pessimistic estimation, there will be unpredictable problems in battlefield connection. The war situation will be biased towards the Portuguese, and the secret service formation will be reduced to the situation of being broken by each person.

For this reason, Mathilde Lille, a native of France who was not French at all, put forward the final plan, eliminated all the flexibility and risk factors in the original plan, selected the battlefield by the future and nailed everything in the framework.

This is a radical plan. Once the future becomes the leader, her "nature" becomes the rhythm that the whole operation must refer to.

The voyage of nature's future should be slow. It should not take more than a week to reach Aldabra from crossing the Cape of good hope.

Aldabra is a remote island with beautiful and unique scenery. The future has reasons for short berthing, but the delay should not exceed one day.

This timeline means that the maximum time left for the xiangyanghua is only eight days. The things to be done include detouring to the direction of the Red Sea, entering Mombasa from that direction, angering the enemy, leaving enough tracked information, arriving at the preset battlefield to meet the future, and preparing for the war.

For this reason, faraming had to give up the gentle Mr. Minxi Howard Johnson in his mind, incarnate into a villain who killed thousands of knives, cover up the hurry of the plan with an outspoken character, and shake out the news that the Portuguese should know in an almost duck feeding way all night.

The lady also had to leave the battlefield, because if the future wanted to stay on Aldabra Island, it had to dock. If it wanted to spend the night, it had to organize exploration. The observers in free action would lose control. No matter where the lady hid, there would be no qualitative difference in the probability of being found.

Mathillier's plan caused an uproar among the sailors. Under his exquisite design, there was no safe luring the enemy and no safe engagement. Xiangyanghua became a donkey with only carrots in her eyes. The lady was hanging in the dark. It would take at least two hours to join the war.

In the face of doubt, matilil only said one sentence: "the first war of the secret service formation needs to be selected by the commander of Attis, which is both a right and an obligation."

The dispute ended abruptly, and the scheme with the lowest success rate became the final winner.

The sailors of the secret service formation devoted themselves to their role-playing, concealed their uneasy and uneasy emotions, and ushered in the sunrise of the eighth day

"It's a fine day..." leaning on the side of the ship, pierce looked at the rising sun and sighed softly to freemanny nearby. "Are our guests awake?"

"I've been awake long ago." freemani shrugged his mouth in disgust. "The Dutch are showing off the giant turtle he killed last night. The French command our sailors to dig coral. The Spanish picked up two ripe sea coconuts and said they would go back to make specimens and use them as family heirlooms."

Pierce couldn't help laughing. "How long do they have to play?"

"Three hours and six minutes." freemani obviously confirmed the time countless times and gave the answer without thinking. "In addition, we need one hour to gather the crew and three hours to cross the atoll at half drifting speed according to the established route."

"If little Dylan lures the enemy smoothly, we will meet him when we cross the atoll. When we get out of the atoll and reach the open sea, the obedient Portuguese should also appear. I just hope they will be polite first, such as symbolically firing a few shots and threatening us to surrender. As long as we wait two hours, we should tell them the answer."

"You think well..." pierce stamped the deck angrily. "This is my first battle since I served as commander. I hope my opponent can be brave and enterprising."

"Your first battle was in Cape Verde, my dear Mr. Tidu. Your wise command made us sink six and capture ten under the siege of 16 enemy ships. It was a real victory."

"Can Cape Verde be counted as a battle?"

Pierce recalled Hashim's poor and sad battle of the pig. The Praia revenge army has a vast scale of nearly 2000 people. There is no professional sailor or or non professional gunner. There are more than 370 fire guns up and down the regiment. Only 62 people know how to shoot, and 41 of them were killed on the deck by pierce with five guns.

That is the excerpt of the most intense "war" in the whole Cape Verde conflict.

Pierce trembled at the thought that such a shameful bullying might become the first battle of Atticus' life.

"Hashim should just be my navigator. He is definitely not a competent pirate, and he has become a great pirate compared with his performance as a commander."
