CHAPTER 857: CHAPTER 859: RESCUING MU HONG, DESTROYING THE TEUTONS (PART 1)
Boro Ocean.
A certain uninhabited small island near the equator.
It’s said to be an uninhabited island, but that’s not entirely true.
Because, ever since over a year ago, the Teutons had a falling out with Baron and left with their men. With nowhere to stay, it didn’t take long for the Teutons to take over this uninhabited island.
To say they took over is not completely accurate. More precisely, it should be said the Teutons and their men found a hiding place on this uninhabited island.
After all, coming from a pirate background, an uninhabited island with fresh water, vegetation, and wildlife like this. For the Teutons and their men, it’s a natural refuge.
Since it’s sparse of people. In the past year, even though the living conditions have been relatively harsh for the Teutons, they have not yet attracted any military crackdown from various countries.
Overall, they managed to live quite comfortably. Except for some who couldn’t bear the harsh life and left the island.
If it weren’t for this time when the Teutons decided to hijack the cruise ship carrying Mu Hong and others. The hidden location of this uninhabited island that the Teutons were using would likely have remained unknown.
Except for Baron, who’s been keeping an eye on the Teutons. Even the Hell’s Judgement, whose intelligence capabilities are considered the top amongst international mercenary organizations, didn’t know the Teutons were hiding on this uninhabited island before this incident.
The saying goes, "Small concealment is in the wild, great concealment is in the city." This is just relatively speaking.
Where there are people, the speed of information dissemination is always much faster than in uninhabited places.
Similar to this uninhabited island amidst the vast ocean.
If the Teutons didn’t expose themselves, even radar searching would likely take considerable time.
Such an uninhabited island, if there aren’t precise longitude and latitude coordinates. An ordinary person would likely find it difficult to discover in three to five months.
Thankfully, Lin Fei and Vulture have the detailed coordinates provided by radar.
Additionally, the sea weather is fair.
The United Fleet led by Lin Fei and Vulture arrived near the uninhabited island where the Teutons were hiding before noon.
The Teutons, who reigned in the Soloha seas for years as the second-in-command of the Soloha pirate group, are indeed intimidating. Despite the falling out with Baron and leaving Soloha, in over a year, because of funds and treatment issues, many men left.
But, even after leaving Soloha for over a year, the Teutons were still able to hide on this uninhabited island.
This in itself is a potential testament to the Teutons’ capabilities.
And when the United Fleet led by Lin Fei and Vulture approached the uninhabited island where the Teutons were hiding.
The specific capabilities of the Teutons were laid bare in front of Lin Fei and Vulture.
A ship that was clearly a cruiser, two conventional submarines hidden underwater, and six various torpedo and reconnaissance speedboats. Plus, a surface Alpha-class attack nuclear-powered submarine.
The capabilities displayed by the Teutons were slightly stronger than the intelligence previously provided by Baron. However, it was exactly consistent with the intelligence gathered by radar.
Compared to the United Fleet gathered by Vulture, the naval capabilities of the Teutons, although not on the same level, were still quite intimidating at a glance.
Of course, this was just on the surface.
With the assessment intel provided by radar regarding the Teutons’ specific combat capabilities, neither Lin Fei nor Vulture would take the Teutons lightly.
This wasn’t underestimating; rather, it’s a clear understanding of the difference in strength between the two sides after the comparison.
Unlike the well-equipped and fully stocked United Fleet led by Vulture, the various ships displayed by the Teutons, while intimidating on the surface.
In terms of actual combat capability, they are just laughable.
Take the most presentable ship of the Teutons, the cruiser, for example.
It’s old, with an internal structure that’s deteriorated, and it has been beyond its service life for thirty or forty years. Its combat effectiveness can be imagined. To exaggerate, any two random torpedoes might just sink it.
The two conventional submarines submerged by the Teutons, compared to this cruiser that ought to have been retired long ago aren’t much stronger.
One has been heavily damaged, barely able to submerge. The other was bought by the Teutons on the black market, close to being scrapped, using almost all of his wealth.
As for the six various torpedo and reconnaissance submarines, they’re mostly for show rather than actual combat. Two of them were even strafed by Baron’s armed helicopters when the Teutons left Soloha over a year ago. Whether they were repaired or not, given that Teuton’s men couldn’t bear the harsh life and left, one can guess.
Relatively speaking, the only threat Teutons posed to the United Fleet led by Vulture was the Alpha-class attack nuclear-powered submarine that Vulture was particularly wary of.
"Boss, something’s not right. The stance Teutons is showing doesn’t seem like he’s welcoming us to defend him." After analyzing and assessing the stance displayed by the Teutons, Vulture leaned closer to Lin Fei, his eyes glinting with coldness as he looked at the Teuton’s fleet formation.
"Although I’ve never really met Teutons in person, I’ve gone through his intelligence before. Compared to Baron, Teutons’ style fits the definition of a pirate more closely. Baron, on the other hand, has some bottom lines and pays more attention to long-term interests. But Teutons is different; he’s crazier. Such a person can make any extreme move unexpectedly."
Casually commenting on Teutons, Lin Fei patted Vulture on the shoulder, "It’s rare to encounter such a challenging opponent like Teutons. It makes this trip worthwhile for you. Remember, don’t act too soon. Consider today’s event as a test for yourself."
"Understood! I’ll have a good game with Teutons. To be honest, boss, I’m really curious about Teutons’ next move."
"Curiosity is curiosity, but be cautious." Casually advising Vulture, knowing well Vulture’s abilities and character, Lin Fei naturally wasn’t worried.
With thoughts on Mu Hong’s father-in-law, Lin Fei didn’t discuss much with Vulture regarding the potential tricks the Teutons might have up their sleeve.
After glancing at the distant uninhabited island where the Teutons were hiding, Lin Fei casually called out to Vulture.
Then, Lin Fei promptly jumped into the sea, diving towards the uninhabited island where Mu Hong and others were located...
