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

She is 460 kilometers away from Madagascar and 640 kilometers away from the east coast of Africa. It is not far or near. Even at the speed of the Sunflower, it would take a day and night to travel from Mombasa to the preset battlefield at full speed.

This day and night is the time when the Mirai and Cenozoic arrived on the battlefield ahead of schedule.

The Secret Service formation is about to direct an unconventional naval battle. As the absolute initiative, they choose their opponents, time, and battlefields. They also choose to dance on the ropes to make themselves the one to be attacked.

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

How to implement this complicated trick is a problem that everyone is concerned about.

The earliest proposal was proposed by Old Dylan.

He suggested that Sunflower’s progress in attracting enemies in Mombasa should be used as a yardstick, and Mirai’s itinerary should be adjusted through the center of the Lady, and that the Sunflower’s arrival to the island, the attack, the appearance of the Mirai, and the observers confirmed the Portuguese. The identity of the assailant, the Dame’s outflank, and a series of incidents such as 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 extremely high. The Sunflower, which has undertaken the most work, will lead the action. The executor can decide the process according to his own judgment, and let the event develop naturally and orderly within a certain limit.

The disadvantage of the plan is the risk.

The Sunflower will bear almost all the risks of the entire operation, especially after arriving at Aldabra Island until the Mirai enters the battlefield for a short period of time. They must face attacks from Portuguese merchants alone. If they can't live until the Mirai enters the battlefield, the entire plan will be wiped out.

So Fremani and the senior class members quickly proposed a second plan that could be called an improved version.

The Mombasa part is still dominated by the Sunflower. When the enemy is successfully lured, the Sunflower leaves its post, and the dominant power is immediately transferred to the Dame.

The strongest combat force of the Secret Service formation will be the first to enter the preset battlefield, guiding the Future and Sunflower to converge in a suitable position to jointly respond to the attacks of Portuguese merchants.

Compared with the first plan, the second plan appears to be safe, and the risks undertaken by the Sunflower are greatly reduced. After all, there are Mirai and Cenozoic to support the battlefield, even if the Portuguese opponents mobilize an unexpected number of warships, Drake will not easily make sacrifices.

But its shortcomings are also obvious. The last debut in the plan must take on the responsibility of the command center.

There is no problem with the hardware.

The Dame is a Valkyrie-class designed by Drake Maritime Group as the flagship of the branch. In the configuration of assault boats, it is equipped with two large-scale land and sea transfer boats of 15 meters and four ultra-high-speed communication boats of five meters. .

The communication boat is a Bermuda Slup type with a detachable mast, a drum sail can reach a peak speed of 20 knots with a full load of 8 people, and a contact radius of up to 300 kilometers.

However, the risks in the vast ocean cannot be generalized on paper after all.

Once Faramin succeeds in enticing the enemy, the Sunflower, the Mirai, and the Noble Lady, which is used as a fulcrum, will enter a state of long-term high-speed movement. Under the squally winds and huge waves in winter, no one can guarantee that the coordinating ship can sail safely at sea, nor can they guarantee that they can accurately find the destination of the letter every time.

The consequences of not delivering the letter can be catastrophic. In the most pessimistic estimate, there will be unpredictable problems in the connection of the battlefield, the battle situation is fully biased towards the Portuguese, and the special service formation will be reduced to a situation where it will be defeated by everyone.

Because of this, Acharin’s French hometown Matillier, who is not at all French in temper, put forward the final plan to eliminate all the flexibility and risk factors in the original plan, and the future will select the battlefield and nail everything. Die in the frame.

This is a radical plan. Once Mirai becomes dominant, her "naturalness" becomes the rhythm that the entire action must refer to.

Naturally, the voyage of the Mirai should be unhurried, and it should not take more than a week to reach Aldabra from crossing the Cape of Good Hope.

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

This timeline means that the maximum time left for the Sunflower is only eight days. The tasks to be done include detouring to the direction of the Red Sea, entering Mombasa from that direction, angering the enemy, leaving enough information to be tracked, and rushing. Go to the preset battlefield to meet the Mirai, and prepare for battle outside and inside.

For this reason, Faramin had to abandon the gentle and elegant Mr. Minxi Howson in his mind, and turned into a villain who killed a thousand knives. He used his public personality to cover up the rush of the plan, and used a nearly ducking method to tell the Portuguese what they should know. The news of shook up all night.

The Dame also had to leave the battlefield far away, because if the Mirai wanted to stay on Aldabra, it had to dock, and if it wanted to stay overnight, it had to organize expeditions and move freely. Observers in free movement would lose control, no matter how expensive it is. There is no qualitative difference in the probability of being discovered where the woman's account is hidden.

Matilil's plan caused an uproar among the seafarers. Under his ingenious design, there were no safe decoys and no safe engagements. The Xiangyanghua became a stupid donkey with only carrots in his eyes, and the Noble Lady hung alone in the dark. It would take at least two hours to join the battle.

In the face of doubt, Mathilil only said one sentence: "The first battle of the secret service formation requires the selection of the battlefield by the Attis Admiral. This is a right and an obligation."

The dispute came to an abrupt end, and the scheme with the lowest success rate became the final winning scheme.

The seamen of the special service formation devoted themselves to their respective role-plays, hiding their anxiety and anxiety, and ushered in the eighth day of the sunrise...

"It's good weather..." Pierce leaned his hand on the side of the ship, and Pierce looked at the sun and sighed softly to Fremany beside him, "Are our guests awake?"

"I woke up a long time ago." Fremani narrowed his mouth in disgust. "The Dutchman is showing off the giant tortoise he killed last night. The French commanded our sailors to chisel corals. The Spaniards picked up two ripe sea coconuts. He said that he would go back to make specimens and use them as heirlooms."

Pierce couldn't help laughing: "How long is their playing time?"

"3 hours and 6 minutes~lightnovelpub.net~ Freemani has obviously confirmed the time countless times, and said the answer without thinking. "In addition, we need an hour to gather the crew and three hours to follow the established route. Cross the atoll at half-drift speed. "

"If little Dylan lures the enemy smoothly, we will meet him when we cross the atoll. When we get out of the atoll and arrive in the open sea, the obedient Portuguese should also appear. I only hope that they will salute the enemy first, such as symbolically. Fire a few shots and threaten us to surrender. As long as we wait for two hours, we should tell them the answer."

"You want to be beautiful..." Pierce stomped the deck angrily. "This is my first battle since I became the admiral. I hope that my opponent can be brave and diligent."

"Your first battle was in Cape Verde, my beloved Admiral. In that battle, your wise command allowed us to sink six ships and capture ten ships under the siege of sixteen enemy ships. A real victory."

"Can the Cape Verde matter be counted as a battle?"

Pierce recalled Hashim's poor and pathetic battle of Pigs. The Praia Vengeance has nearly two thousand people. There is no professional sailor, no unprofessional gunner. There are more than 370 firearms in the regiment. Only 62 people know how to shoot, and 41 of them are in the group. During the approach, Pierce was shot and killed five times by one person on the deck.

That was the most intense part of the "battle" in the entire Cape Verde conflict.

At the thought that such a shameful bullying might become the first battle of Admiral Attis' life, Pierce couldn't help but shudder.

"Hashem should just be my navigator honestly. He is definitely not a competent pirate, and compared to his performance as an admiral, he has become a great pirate."
