Chapter 913 - Chapter 913 Plan

Chapter 913: Plan Chapter 913: Plan Editor: Atlas Studios As soon as Qi Haoran arrived at the Guangdong Navy, he won two battles.

In the first battle, not only did he annihilate more than 2,000 pirates, but he also captured more than 400 pirates.

It could be said that he intimidated all the pirates on the southeast coast.

In the past two months, not a single pirate dared to come ashore.

And now that the maritime ban had been lifted for more than a month, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Because there was no trace of the pirates, although Qi Haoran had issued several orders to target the pirates, he had actually not had the chance to check the results.

No one expected the pirates to dare to come ashore so quickly.

What was even more unexpected was that they actually chose the coastline with the young princes on it and were smacked to death on the beach as soon as they came ashore.

The assistant commander looked for Qi Haoran to ask if he should send troops to suppress the bandits.

After all, the pirates had almost injured the few young masters this time.

Upon hearing this, Qi Haoran rolled his eyes.

Was he the kind of person who would flare up over personal matters?

“What are your chances of winning if we send troops now?” The assistant commander was silent for a moment before saying, “We have a 50% chance of winning.

Even if we win, we have to pay a huge price.” Qi Haoran snorted.

“In that case, why should we send troops?” Seeing the assistant commander remain silent, Zhou Zhou looked around and said hesitantly, “But if we don’t fight back, I’m afraid the pirates will become even more arrogant.” “What’s the fate of those arrogant pirates now?” Qi Haoran looked at the two of them and said in an unfathomable tone, “Get someone to guard the coastline and continue training.

Kill all the pirates when they come ashore and sail the big ship out.

Once any pirates come ashore, do not allow any one of them to escape.

While I’m not confident in exterminating them now, we have to kill all the pirates who dare to attack us.

If they don’t know our strength, will they still come forward at the risk of getting themselves killed?” Assistant Commander Wang and Zhou Zhou pondered.

“I will fight for half a year for you.

After half a year, regardless of whether your navy has been trained up to speed or not, I will drag them to the battlefield.

Listen, if they die in battle, it will be your responsibility.” Qi Haoran said coldly, “Assistant Commander Wang, you have been fighting naval battles for 30 years.

Don’t tell me you want me to teach you how to train your navy?” Assistant Commander Wang stood up and said, “Don’t worry, Your Highness.

I will definitely train the navy as soon as possible and not let you down.” Qi Haoran nodded and knocked on the table, then said with a smile, “It’s true that I don’t understand naval battles, but regardless of whether it’s naval battles or land battles, as long as it’s a battle, there will be strategies that can be devised.

This time, the pirates were caught as soon as they came ashore.

What do you think about this?” “The young masters of the Prince’s estate and Duke’s estate are smart and heroic at such a young age.

They’re really impressive.

Indeed, a tiger father doesn’t have a dog son.” Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, “I know that they’re impressive.

I don’t need you to specially tell me.

Could it be that this is all you can see?” Qi Haoran looked at Zhou Zhou and asked, “Didn’t you go and understand the situation personally?

What are your insights?” After holding it in for a long time, Zhou Zhou said, “The guards of the Prince’s estate are also very impressive.” Frowning, Qi Haoran picked up the documents on the table to gesture.

In the end, he did not throw them out.

He looked at Zhou Zhou, who had shrunk his neck, and said angrily, “You’re unteachable.

From this matter, we learned that the fishermen are powerful!

I’ve read your records.

When pirates come ashore, even if there are navy guys resisting, there will still be casualties when the fishermen escape.

They’re either injured by the pirates or pushed by their own people.

Most of the casualties are on their backs, shoulders, and necks.

Do you get it now?” Zhou Zhou was still a little confused, but Assistant Commander Wang seemed to be in deep thought.

“Since their injuries were on their backs, it means they were injured while fleeing for their lives.

Your Highness, are you saying that if they don’t escape and turn around to resist instead, their chances of survival are actually higher?” “That depends on the situation.

For example, there were only 50 to 60 pirates ashore today, and there were 300 to 400 fishermen.

Naturally, there’s no need to flee for their lives in a hurry.

However, if the numbers are reversed, the earlier the fishermen flee, the better.

I mainly want them to stay alive, not to let them resist the pirates.

After all, fighting the pirates is the navy’s job, but there are many things fishermen can do as well.” Qi Haoran unfolded the blueprint and pointed at the long coastline on it.

“Our navy only has so many people, but the coastline is so long.

Apart from the people who train every day, there are very few men who can be mobilized to patrol.

There are always loopholes, so by the time we rush to the location where the pirates landed, they usually would’ve retreated.” Although Qi Haoran had never fought in a naval battle, he had read through the files and heard from the navy veterans about the past battles over the past two months.

So, he more or less knew a little.

In addition, from his correspondence with his two uncles, he’d learned that the pirates were best at ending battles quickly and exhausting the navy.

This was because their coastline was too long and their defense was very scattered.

But even though there were few soldiers, there were many fishermen.

Qi Haoran said, “The effect of the young princes encouraging the fishermen to fight the pirates is obvious.

This means that these fishermen can be deployed.

Assistant Commander Wang, don’t you have many veterans under you?

Get them to gather those fishermen and train them.

When the pirates come ashore, whether they escape or fight, not only do they have to make a quick judgment, but they also have to make use of the terrain and manpower to fight the pirates as much as possible.” Qi Haoran sneered.

“It’s said that the pirates are familiar with the terrain, but no matter how familiar they are, are they more familiar than the fishermen who live here?

If the fishermen can notify the Naval Division as soon as possible upon discovering the pirates while resisting them, we’ll definitely be able to greatly reduce the casualties and losses.” “But how can the fishermen inform us?

Usually, by the time they find us and we rush over, the pirates would have retreated.” “This is the second thing I want to talk about.” Qi Haoran picked up his pen and drew a few circles on the map.

“Other than the main camp, the land garrison also has guardhouses scattered everywhere to defend and guard the place.

However, the navy only has one navy government office.

Be it training, defense, or patrolling, they come from this one main camp.

Therefore, as long as the pirates choose to land on a coast far away from the navy’s main camp, you guys will be exhausted.

In that case, why don’t you split up into separate guardhouses like the land garrison?” Assistant Commander Wang’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the circles on the map.

“Are these spots where Your Highness wants to build the guardhouses?” “I’ve investigated all these places, but I’m still not as familiar with the coast as you are.

If you have any good suggestions, you can also raise them.

After building the guardhouses, build beacon towers in various fishing villages.

Once the fishermen discover the pirates coming ashore, they can immediately light up the beacon.

Not only does it serve to inform the navy to go and suppress the pirates, but you can also let the fishing villages see the smoke and leave an empty village for the pirates.” “This way, even if we can’t make it in time, the pirates will only see an empty village when they move to the next fishing village.” Qi Haoran nodded.

“Since we don’t have the strength to eliminate the pirates at present, we can only use this method to minimize casualties and losses.

When we’re done trainingAC/AEURA|” Qi Haoran clenched his fists and looked at the two of them coldly.

He said word by word, “I’ll make sure they never return!”
