Chapter 1409 Suspicious

Around this incident, a thorough investigation was carried out directly in the entire Gallic port. All fools knew that those mines could not be conjured out of thin air, and someone must have placed the mines there.

However, after a thorough investigation, there was still no result.

Since the start of the war, every port along the coast has been patrolled by patrols 24 hours a day, plus the vigilance of the Shanghai lighthouse, the entire line of defense can be said to be extremely tight.

In this case, if someone drives a boat and runs to the sea outside the port with so many mines for arrangement, there is basically no situation where they cannot be found, unless they are all blind!

This result obviously could not satisfy the minister who was in charge of the thorough investigation of this matter.

"It's impossible that someone has placed so many mines in that area? Do you think the Great Emperor will accept this answer?! Colonel, one month! You only have one month! You have to find out a result for me, otherwise, You and I will both be fucked!!"

The minister's remarks were not polite.

How huge was the loss of the three battleships sunk? It is no exaggeration to say that it is an astronomical sum.

Moreover, it is still a time of war, when battleships are most needed! When this happens at a time like this, the situation is even more serious!

Recalling the somber and frightening face of their Great Emperor at that time, the minister did not have the slightest doubt. If there is no result, the Great Emperor will probably directly kill them!

However, what they don't know is that according to their investigation direction, it is impossible to find a result even when they die...

Through the vision provided by the elf druids, the movement of the Gallic fleet is always locked, and with the speed of the lightning strike fleet, it can be said that it is always one step ahead of them.

There is a lighthouse in the port area, and they can't get close, but the underwater combat troops that went with the army this time have no problem at all!

In the case of sufficient vision during the day, with a little more effort, the water lizard warriors can fully carry the mines, sneak all the way under the sea, and complete the mine arrangement.

Even if they floated out of the sea and took a breath, such a small unit, coupled with the distance cover, was unlikely to be detected by the other party.

In this era, the removal of mines and landmines is extremely troublesome and difficult, and also carries huge risks. It is impossible to do it in a short period of time, not to mention that the whole area is full of Mines, the beach next to it doesn't know if it's safe...

In order to be on the safe side, but also to allow the warships to be repaired in time, and to replenish the supplies, the Gallic fleet had to move towards the next port.

During this period, Wang Sheng, who had confirmed the other party's movements, certainly couldn't just let them go.

In the past few months of the expedition, they have already figured out the map of this sea area.

His eyes quickly swept across the map. On the premise of confirming the direction of the Gallic fleet, and according to their current emergency situation, they will definitely move towards the port closest to their location, and even the navigation route, he can roughly guess. .

In this way, knowing the opponent's destination and relying on the speed advantage of light warships, Wang Sheng naturally wants to run in front of the Gallic fleet...

Above the sea, a Gallic fleet with low morale was on its way to the next port.

The previous encounter made the soldiers of the Gallic Navy in a bad state. Even the commander-in-chief of the fleet had a gloomy expression on his face. He just hoped that he could find out a result quickly!

As a fleet that has been out for a long time, when returning to the port, it will be attacked by terrorists, which is simply something he can't imagine.

According to this statement, where is the peace for them?

However, just as he was thinking about it, a sudden explosion came from the front of the fleet, and his whole heart was instantly suspended in his throat.

"What's going on?! What happened?!"

At the same time as he issued a series of questions, he directly rushed out of his captain's room.

"Report, report General, the destroyer No. 051 in front of the fleet seems to have waded into a mine..."

Hearing this, the commander-in-chief's heart twitched.

mines? What's more, mines? !

At this moment, he only felt that he was going crazy. Where did those hell mines come from? !

The destroyer that waded to the mines turned around almost immediately, and ended up wading two more mines in a row.

The fragile small body of the destroyer was no match for the heavily armored battleship, and the three mines directly brought them to the end of the sinking.

The following destroyers, which were unable to control their inertia, also followed in their footsteps.

On the sinking ship, the crew members put down the lifeboats one after another, or jumped directly to escape.

But when they got to the sea, they discovered another problem...

dare not move! At this moment, the crew members who escaped from the sunken destroyer just fell on the sea, not daring to move at all!

Who knows if there are any mines under the surrounding sea?

Before the mine was blown on the destroyer, they still had a chance to escape.

And now, if they trigger a certain mine again, then I am afraid they can only end up with a dead body sinking into the sea...

I have to say that this wave, Wang Sheng's small change, once again caught the Gallic fleet by surprise.

Before, he placed the mines near the port because he couldn't figure out the return route of the Gallic fleet, and he was not sure about it.

But this time is different. The Gallic fleet is almost moving along the coastline, and it is too easy to see clearly.

Of course, these successive successes did not make Wang Sheng get carried away.

His lightning strike fleet still maintains its hidden state.

Because he knew very well that the Gallic fleet on the opposite side, even if it stood still, could kill their small fleet during the day.

If you are confused and can't figure this out, and rely on more than a dozen destroyers to rush up, then you will be making yourself feel uncomfortable.

Next, let the commander-in-chief of the Gallic Fleet slowly get suspicious.

Anyway, in this wave, their purpose has been achieved, and the sea combat power of the Gallic Fleet has been clearly reduced!

Just like that, the Lightning Strike fleet, which was completely absent from the beginning to the end, quietly retreated.

Afterwards, he received the news that the Gaul player, who learned that his fleet had been continuously attacked by torpedoes, could be said to be instantly ugly, and he even began to doubt whether there was another rebel organization in his empire. I want to get through with him, after all, similar things have happened many times in the past few hundred years!
